Chapter 136: Maze Formation
Three days pa.s.sed.
When He Yiming opened his eyes, he began to emit a wave of sharp sword intent!
Hu …
He Yiming let out a long breath. As his aura pa.s.sed, he silently cut open a candle.
“Breath like a sword? Sword intent?” He Yiming was stunned as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Rise!” He Yiming raised his left hand and slashed.
Pfft!
With a tearing sound, a wooden frame was cut apart a dozen meters away.
“It’s really done!” He Yiming was shocked.
In Haotian Academy, He Yiming had studied sword cultivators.
Ordinary cultivators first had to step into the Foundation Establishment Realm, and then immerse themselves in the Dao of the Sword for ten years before they could succeed in cultivating their sword intent.
This was a genius who specialized in sword training.
Mortal? A person with dull talent? Just go to bed!
He Yiming himself had never thought that after he had only comprehended the [Three Heavens Enlightenment Sword] jade slip, he had succeeded in his sword intent.
“The five elements live with each other. Could it be because I majored in the Azure Emperor Immortal Body … that I had an unexpected bonus to training in the Metal Element Sword Technique?”
“No, the most important thing is that this Bright Sword Art is too powerful! Was this really created by a Heaven Pill Realm existence?” He Yiming felt that this Ancestor of the Bright Sword Sect was not an ordinary existence!
But no matter what, his sword intent was just a small success. He Yiming had another powerful trump card!
“Hmm? After three days?” Only then did He Yiming realize that three days had pa.s.sed!
Fortunately, the system’s sign-in system was able to make up for it, so He Yiming was extremely skilled. He came first to sign in.
Beep!
The host successfully signed in!
Sign-in reward, Spirit Martial Force Heavy Crossbow X7!”
Beep!
The host successfully signed in!
Sign-in reward, Beast: Cyanfeather Eagle! Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Realm!
Beep!
The host successfully signed in!
Sign-in reward, Ancient Technique: Double Casting! Grade: Second Grade! Added to the second floor of the library!
“!” He Yiming was shocked!
This wave of sign-in rewards were all the things He Yiming had seen for the first time!
He Yiming was the first to make a decision. A three-meter-long, one-meter-long giant bronze crossbow landed in front of him.
This Spirit Martial Force heavy crossbow was not something that cultivators held in their hands. Instead, it was something that was installed on the sects or high towers for defence.
Each Spirit Martial Force vertical crossbow could be controlled by one to four cultivators. Once they injected their power, they could condense their qi into an arrow.
The Spirit Martial Force heavy crossbow itself contained dozens of strengthening arrays, and the power of the arrows it shot was comparable to the full-strength strike of a Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivator. Furthermore, it had the power of a spell, array, and attack.
Of course, it was limited to those below the Sea Wheel Realm. This meant that the effect would be greatly reduced if they encountered an existence at the Sea Wheel Realm.
He took back his Spirit Martial Force heavy crossbow. He Yiming wanted to see the other two check-in rewards and walked out of the hall.
“Cyanfeather Eagle!” He Yiming let out a low cry. In the next moment, a huge bird that was more than ten meters long appeared in front of him.
It was a demon beast that looked like an eagle but was much stronger than an eagle.
The Cyanfeather Eagle had inherited the bloodline of the ancient beast known as the Sky Eagle. Although its combat strength wasn’t very high, it was very good at flying. It was extremely fast.
Because it was a system sign-in reward, it was automatically contracted as He Yiming’s soul beast. It was forever loyal to He Yiming.
Although he could fly on the flying sword or with the power of his cultivation base, it would take him a long time. He Yiming was only at the early Foundation Establishment Realm, so he couldn’t handle it.
But with the Cyanfeather Eagle, it was different.
As long as he was careful, He Yiming would be able to stand on the back of the Cyanfeather Eagle and return to Haotian Academy alone.
“In the future, I’ll call you Qingyu!” He Yiming touched the feathers of the Cyanfeather Eagle. They were black and blue, and they were quite handsome and attractive.
With a flip of his body, He Yiming stood on the back of the Cyanfeather Eagle. He Yiming made a move.
The Cyanfeather Eagle, which was connected to He Yiming’s soul, spread its wings and soared into the sky.
In a single breath, it reached several hundred meters high. Even He Yiming was shocked by its speed.
This was ten times faster than He Yiming’s flying speed.
“Hmm? Hold the gra.s.s?!” He Yiming didn’t even have time to exclaim. He lowered his head and was stunned.
The surroundings of the sect were surrounded by countless huge stone walls.
These stone walls were more than a hundred meters tall. They were close to a thousand meters long, and the short ones were close to a hundred meters long. Moreover, they were narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The narrowest part was four meters long, and the widest part was twelve meters long. Their foundations were quite solid, and they wouldn’t easily collapse.
What was even more terrifying was that these stone walls were erected layer by layer, surrounding each layer. In the middle, they were left ten meters wide, allowing them to walk.
It was like a huge labyrinth of stone walls.
This huge maze surrounded the entire sect. The thickness of the maze was more than a kilometre, and the outer circle was filled with hundreds of entrances.
If he didn’t know how to fly, he had to pa.s.s through the layers of the maze to enter the sect.
In the maze, there were forty-nine astonishingly tall columns.
These columns were fifty meters higher than ordinary stone walls, reaching a height of one hundred and fifty meters. On the top of the column was a platform with a diameter of several dozen meters. There was a barrier around it that could accommodate over a hundred people. It was all very easy.
“Hold the gra.s.s … MC Myth … He built this maze in three days?” He Yiming lowered his head and looked over. He soon discovered that scattered players were working hard in every part of the maze.
A few players were busy throwing stones into the brick cutter, while most of them listened to the orders and carried the stones to other places.
Because the stones were very light, the players picked up more than ten stones before using Moon Steps to rush to the construction site.
“Quickly, put these stones here!
“Those stones are there!
“OK, the maze in this area has been completed. There are still three more areas left. The first stage will be completed! Everyone increase your strength!”
At this moment, MC Myth was commanding seven or eight players to complete the final construction of an area on the east side of the maze.
“Not bad, really not bad!” He Yiming nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, without delay, he controlled the Cyanfeather Eagle to fly towards the nearest pillar.
The Cyanfeather Eagle’s weight wasn’t light, but when it landed on the platform on the pillar, the entire platform only trembled slightly.
He Yiming once again nodded in satisfaction. He then used his Foundation Establishment cultivation and carved an array on the platform.
He Yiming didn’t know how to use high-grade arrays.
However, all of Haotian Academy’s foundation arrays, as well as first-level arrays, He Yiming was thoroughly familiar with, and he was even more proficient in controlling them.
After all, in the past four years, He Yiming had always been the number one person in all the foundation array exams!
After he finished, He Yiming jumped onto the back of the giant eagle and headed towards the second pillar.
After an incense stick’s worth of time, He Yiming completed the forty-nine pillars.
Then, He Yiming returned to the sect and found the centre of forty-nine columns.
After skillfully carving out the array core’s array pattern, the ancient formation’s Great Formation of Return to Heaven would be considered a success.
However, at the moment, the spirit array had not been activated. It was useless.
Next was the most crucial step!
