Chapter 278 - Four Symbols Sword Formation (3)

Feeling the surging spiritual energy in his meridians, he could not wait to refine the Nine Revolutions Cloud Lotus Pill.

The next moment, three Zhou Mingrui’s appeared before of the three of them. It happened so abruptly that they did not even see how it happened.

“Wow, this is amazing!” Zhao Anqi couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. The Zhou Mingrui in front of her almost looked as if he had a real tangible body.

Yan Wuyue’s eyes also twinkled. She understood that this ability would be very useful in a battle, as it could create opportunities for many kinds of tactical combinations.

“Why can’t I do this?” Xiao Shengyun asked with a frown.

“First, although you can copy other people’s skills, you are not familiar with the principle of the skill itself,” Zhou Mingrui commented indifferently.

“The principle?” Xiao Shengyun looked thoughtful.

Zhou Mingrui continued, “It’s like forging a blade. You’ve only learned how to forge the same blade after watching the ironsmith do it, but ironsmith knows the principle behind the forging of any blade. He can use this principle to create another blade, or even improve it to forge an even better blade.”

“To sum it up, you know how it is formed, but you don’t know why it is formed. This is the difference between us.”

“You only know the effects of the Phantom Prison, but you didn’t know that the energy in the Phantom Prison is also phantom energy, which is a power that you could have made use of.”

With a whoosh, the three Zhou Mingrui’s suddenly brandished their fists and attacked. The powerful stance made everyone except Yan Wuyue dodge subconsciously.

However, the fist turned into a semi-shadow halfway through the swing, and felt just like a cloud of mist blowing past. Nothing touched them at all.

“But at that time, you could clearly turn illusions into reality and directly shatter my bone armor.” Xiao Shengyun quickly followed up with another question.

“Like this?”

Zhou Mingrui appeared in front of Xiao Shengyun again. Just like before, he threw a punch at him.

The intense attack still prompted Xiao Shengyun to make a subconscious reaction. However, he suppressed his intuitive reactions and stared at Zhou Mingrui’s shadow.

In the split of a second, Xiao Shengyun felt a change in the shadow. It was no longer a shadow, but Zhou Mingrui’s actual body!

“Strictly speaking, this is just an elaborate smokescreen.”

The fist stopped in front of Xiao Shengyun. Zhou Mingrui retracted his hand and continued to explain, “While you concluded that my shadow was actually a shadow, my real body had already switched places with the shadow using the power of the Phantom Prison.”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhou Mingrui’s original position on the sofa. Sitting there, his figure was swaying slightly. Indeed, it was only a shadow on the sofa.

The real Zhou Mingrui leaned forward to flick Xiao Shengyun on his forehead.

However, when his finger was about to touch his forehead, it turned into a shadow again.

The Four Symbols Divine Beasts suppressed in all directions.

A ferocious aura from the wilderness froze the dust within a hundred feet.

Daoist Dayan opened his mouth and widened his eyes as he looked at the phantoms of the four divine beasts hanging above his head.

It was the Four Symbols Sword Formation.

“Actually, I’m very curious. Back then, did Senior Sword Master Yuan Tian use the power of his soul to set up the Four Symbols Sword Formation, or did he actually cultivate the Great Spirit?” Han Muye said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the four divine beasts that were originally enhanced by the silver-gray soul power suddenly turned golden.

Golden light flashed, as if it was pouring gold.

Condensing the void into reality!

At this moment, the four divine beasts seemed to have come to life, and their eyes flickered.

However, this scene only lasted for an instant before Han Muye raised his hand and put away the Four Symbols Sword Formation.

It was feasible to transform the Great Spirit into a sword array.

The power of the sword array mixed with the Great Spirit could be doubled.

However, it consumed a lot of the Great Spirit.

If it was not really needed, it was better not to waste the hard-won Great Spirit.

According to what Han Muye knew, those Confucian cultivators in the Central Continent usually cultivated their Qi and hearts. It took them decades to cultivate a little Righteousness Qi.

The ethereal and invisible Great Spirit was different from the spiritual energy cultivation method that could be cultivated step by step.

At the mention of Righteous Qi cultivation, Han Muye’s expression changed.

Earlier, the Great Spirit he obtained from refining the resentment was equivalent to a great scholar cultivating bitterly for 30 years.

“The evil cultivator who set up the resentment array should be from the Black Spirit Valley, right?”

Han Muye said softly.

Daoist Dayan nodded and said, “I think so.”

“In the cultivation world of the Western Frontier, they’re the only ones who are unscrupulous.

“I think I’ve seen their Black Spirit Valley use this resentment technique back then.”

Where did resentment come from?

Killing.

Killing to accumulate resentment.

The resentment on the old man from the Black Spirit Valley was accumulated from killing countless living beings.

If he alone could kill so many living beings, how many people would the entire sect kill?

Han Muye narrowed his eyes, and a deep divine light flashed in them.

“Such a sect should not remain in the cultivation world.”

Killing living beings to nurture resentment was a vicious method that Han Muye hated.

The living beings in the world were not equal, but such a cultivation should not exist.

“Hehe, back then, there were also sects who wanted to destroy the Black Spirit Valley, but in the end, nothing happened.” Daoist Dayan laughed and shook his head.

“It’s said that the Black Spirit Valley is filled with resentment. It was the battlefield of the ancient Western Frontier battle.

“The people of the Black Spirit Valley usually don’t have much interaction with the cultivators of the Western Frontier.”

Glancing at Han Muye, Daoist Dayan said in a low voice, “The Wind Spiritual Sword Sect isn’t the only one who invited them to attack you this time.”

“Perhaps they want to find a position in the nine intermediate sects of the Western Frontier.”

The nine sects of the Western Frontier were jostling for position.

The Western Frontier had changed drastically. The forces of the Southern Wasteland had entered, and the old nine sects were about to change. It was normal for the Black Spirit Valley to have thoughts.

After all, the nine sects were not only famous, but also had various resources.

“Are they worthy of the position of the Nine Sects?”

Han Muye stood up, sword Qi shining on his body.

Daoist Dayan was stunned and said hastily, “What, what are you doing?”

Even if the strength of the Black Spirit Valley could not compare to the top nine sects of the Western Frontier like the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, it was still qualified to enter the nine sects.

Among them, there were countless mysterious experts who cultivated strange Dharmic techniques.

“Such an evil sect. The cultivators of our Western Frontier should kill them.”

Han Muye spoke loudly and flew into the sky.

“Hum—”

The sword light shone like a meteor in the sky.

At this moment, a faint morning glow had already appeared in the eastern sky.

It was dawn.

“It’s Immortal Han!”

“Where is Han Muye going? Isn’t he returning to the Nine Mystic Mountain?”

“Could it be that he feels helpless and wants to take a detour?”

….
