34: Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin

At this moment, the dual Great Formation was operating at full power.

The Fourth Brother controlled the Formation Plate in his hand, resisting with difficulty.

His mind sank into the Formation Plate, and following the Formation patterns, his perception spread out.

The Formation patterns of the fully operating Great Formation emerged one by one, appearing in the Fourth Brother's consciousness.

The Fourth Brother's expression grew paler, but his eyes were incredibly sharp.

To break the Formation, one must find the operating nodes or weak points of the Great Formation.

If the Great Formation were in a calm state, finding them would be difficult; now, however, it was much simpler.

Before long,

The Fourth Brother's mind stirred, and his perception arrived at a place where several Formation patterns intersected.

"Found it."

The Fourth Brother's heart trembled, and a look of joy appeared on his face, then he spoke to the Eldest Brother:

"Thirty zhang in the Zhen position."

The Eldest Brother, who had been constantly watching the Fourth Brother, heard this, quickly formed hand seals, and as his magical power surged, a massive flaming palm condensed.

"Blazing Palm, go!"

The Eldest Brother's mind moved, and he pushed his hands forward, the flaming palm rapidly flying towards the thirty zhang mark in the Zhen position.

The flames tore through the air, dispersing the surrounding thick fog.

A palm struck a Formation pattern node.

The flames scattered with a roar, the Great Formation shook, and the thick fog rapidly churned; the mist that had been gathering towards the four people became chaotic.

In the Zhou Family's main hall, the Great Formation's phantom in front of Lin Muwan flickered slightly, her face paled, but she quickly formed hand seals, injecting more magical power into the Formation Plate to maintain the Great Formation's operation.

"There's actually a Formation Master."

Lin Muwan's heart sank slightly, but she did not panic.

The Formation's flaw had appeared, and the Fourth Brother's expression was excited; following the chaotic thick fog, his mental perception searched everywhere along this flaw.

Two weak nodes were perceived by the Fourth Brother, and he spoke to the Eldest Brother again continuously.

"Twenty-five zhang in the Kun position."

"Fifty zhang in the Qian position."

The Eldest Brother clapped his hands together, and the magical power in his palms clashed, then quickly separated, two fist-sized fireballs appearing between his palms.

The two fireballs rotated around each other like twin stars, scorching the surrounding air, and under the rising heat, the air itself was distorted.

"Go!"

The Eldest Brother separated his hands, and the two fireballs split, following the direction of his hands, one heading towards the Kun position and the other towards the Qian position.

The fireballs successively reached their designated locations.

They exploded one after another; although not as powerful as the flaming palm, they were not weak either, once again disrupting the already somewhat chaotic thick fog.

With three nodes destroyed, the Tracking Array could no longer gather.

Without the pressure of this thick fog, the Fourth Brother finally let out a long breath.

The tottering azure light Formation finally stabilized.

The Fourth Brother no longer continuously poured magical power to maintain the Formation's operation, but slightly reduced the magical power injection.

Since this Tracking Array had been temporarily broken, and without this thick fog that inverted the five senses, breaking the second Illusory Heart Array would be effortless.

He looked back and saw that the Second Brother and Third Brother were concentrating on resisting the invasion of illusions; although aided by the Heart-Clearing Talisman, they still needed to be highly vigilant.

Seeing that the two were temporarily safe, the Fourth Brother did not immediately look for the Illusory Heart Array's nodes.

He had consumed quite a bit just now; although his spirit was invigorated, his mind, consciousness, and magical power were all greatly depleted; if he had been a step slower, he might not have been able to hold on.

He flipped his hand and took out several Medicinal Pills, not bothering to look closely, and swallowed them whole, diligently refining their medicinal power.

The Eldest Brother saw that the Fourth Brother was recovering himself and no longer acted, but instead guarded the three, taking the opportunity to calm his slightly agitated aura.

When the Tracking Array was temporarily broken, Lin Muwan, who was maintaining the Great Formation, suddenly had her aura become chaotic, and the Formation Plate swayed precariously.

To have broken the first Formation so quickly, Lin Muwan was surprised, her expression solemn, and her face fell into a dilemma.

Soon, Lin Muwan made a decision in her heart.

"Very well, today I shall test the power of this Formation."

Having made up her mind, Lin Muwan no longer hesitated.

She took out a Medicinal Pill, put it into her mouth, and swallowed it.

All her magical power surged out, and the Formation Plate glowed even brighter.

Golden patterns emerged again, forming a ring that enveloped the Formation Plate.

"Myriad Sword Array, activate!"

As her words fell, Lin Muwan's magical power rapidly surged out, leaving her with little magical power remaining.

Had she not Broken Through to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer (Cultivation Level), she probably wouldn't have been able to activate this three-layered Great Formation at once.

Even now, Lin Muwan estimated she only had one strike's worth of power.

This Zhou Family's mountain protecting grand array had consumed most of the Spirit Stones Zhou Kaiding had accumulated in the first half of his life.

Coupled with the resources Lin Muwan's parents had given the two of them back then, this mountain protecting grand array was crafted into its current state.

The three-layered Great Formation was interlocked: the Tracking Array trapped people, the Illusory Heart Array confused the mind, and the Myriad Sword Array slayed enemies.

If Zhou Kaiding, who was at the Qi Refining Level Seven, were to preside over it, even if several more Qi Refining Seventh Level Cultivators from the Five Immortals of Flowing Wind were to come, they probably wouldn't be able to break through the Zhou Family.

However, these three Great Formations were, after all, only Medium Grade Tier 1, and their power was ultimately limited.

As Lin Muwan's magical power completely surged out, the Formation Plate floating in front of her shone with dazzling light, illuminating the entire Zhou Family's main hall.

Within the phantom of the Great Formation, long swords condensed from Spiritual Qi appeared out of thin air.

Seeing this, Lin Muwan changed her hand seals, and Formation patterns intertwined everywhere.

"Myriad Swords Return to Origin, condense!"

As these words fell, the long swords of Spiritual Qi rapidly fused; each time one fused, the spirit sword grew a bit longer, and its aura also grew a bit stronger.

Although called the Myriad Sword Array, in reality, only about a hundred spirit swords were condensed, far from reaching the scale of ten thousand.

All the long swords merged into one, and the original three-foot-long magic sword now measured three zhang in size.

The three-zhang-long giant sword floated in the air, emitting waves of pressure, subtly showing a tendency to exceed the Middle Stage of Qi Refining.

Having completed all this, Lin Muwan's face was as pale as paper, and her aura had dropped to rock bottom.

Clearly, all of this was not easy for Lin Muwan.

Lin Muwan raised both hands high, clenching them as if holding the giant sword.

She fiercely slashed down towards the red dot in the Formation's phantom.

The giant sword, manipulated by Lin Muwan, was like a meteor, tearing through the thick fog, leaving a bright, clear crack-like passage.

The giant sword tore through the air, its might incredibly powerful.

The Fourth Brother, who was sitting and recovering, felt his eyelids twitch wildly, and his spiritual sense frantically warned him.

The Second Brother and Third Brother were no exception; their expressions were flustered and uneasy, and in this moment of Divided Soul, they were taken advantage of by illusions.

At this critical juncture, they had once again fallen into illusions.

A three-zhang-long giant sword, carrying immense power, appeared in the Fourth Brother's field of vision.

The Fourth Brother was horrified.

"This Zhou Family is so deranged, they actually have another Formation."

This was not something he could resist.

The Fourth Brother quickly looked towards the Eldest Brother.

As the giant sword appeared, the Eldest Brother's expression instantly became solemn; he quickly moved in front of the three, shielding them behind him.

His magical power circulated at full capacity, he quickly formed hand seals, and let out a low shout:

"Sea of Flames!"

As his voice fell, the Eldest Brother's magical power transformed into flames, bursting open and expanding tens of zhang around him, forming a sea of flames that enveloped the four.

The giant sword charged forward relentlessly, crashing fiercely into this sea of fire.
