Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 200 Gengjin Sword Formation
There is probably no other formation master here besides Li Yunjing.

"Impressive! This formation is difficult to break!"

Li Yunjing looked at the light shield in front of him carefully, then his expression turned solemn as he transmitted his voice to Yu Yunyi.

Yu Yunyi knew that Li Yunjing was a formation master. Since Li Yunjing found it difficult, the difficulty here must be extraordinary. Otherwise, given Li Yunjing's pride, he would not have said such a thing!
Yu Yunyi was also looking towards the seven-colored glass light shield.

These pavilions, palaces, bridges, and flowing water were all transplanted from outside.

This place was arranged into a formation using special methods.

If one is unfamiliar with formations, it is unknown how much one would have to pay to truly enter them.

In short, everyone frowned and was at a loss when faced with this seven-colored glass light shield.

"You few go in and scout the formation!"

At this moment, a Foundation Establishment cultivator spoke up and gave instructions to seven or eight rogue cultivators.

Now is the time for independent cultivators to shine.

"This……"

Why should I be allowed in?

"Our cultivation is too low to explore the mysteries of the formation. We would be grateful if you could find someone else!"

……

"Bang bang bang!" No sooner had these people finished speaking than the Foundation Establishment cultivator attacked. With a swing of his longsword, all of them were cut in two, dead beyond any doubt!
This bloody scene terrified all the rogue cultivators.

At this moment, they seemed to have figured it out.

These sects and families are preparing to use them as scouts!
As expected, this scene did not move the cultivators from other families and sects. They all remained indifferent and let this person do as he pleased.

Even the members of the "Haitao faction" remained silent, ignoring these so-called "allies."

Even those like Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, who were classified as independent cultivators, remained unmoved.

Li Yunjing also needed someone else to scout ahead so he could take a closer look!
Look at the changes in this formation!
"Alright! You guys go and test the waters! If you find any clues, you can come back. I promise you won't have to scout next time!"

This Foundation Establishment cultivator, carrying a blood-stained longsword, approached the other rogue cultivators and coldly gave them his orders.

"Ugh……"

The faces of the assigned rogue cultivators turned green.

Having witnessed the mistakes of others, I simply couldn't bring myself to refuse.

They then looked at their rogue cultivator "allies," and seeing that no one spoke, their hearts turned cold.

Entering the glass-like light barrier might mean death, but at least there's a glimmer of hope. Choosing to refuse means certain death without anyone's help!
Now, this place is no longer their domain as independent cultivators!
In terms of the number of people in sects and families, they have completely surpassed the number of independent cultivators.

The disciples of families and sects are stronger in combat than independent cultivators, and there are also more of them. No matter what, they can't beat the other side.

At this moment, they began to regret it!

If I had known this would happen, I would have left earlier. Anyway, I've already gained enough benefits, which is more than enough to satisfy them.

But that's human nature. When people are greedy, their senses are clouded, their wisdom diminishes, and their thinking becomes less comprehensive. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this!
Of course, even if we considered that, they might still have wishful thinking, not believing that it would be them who died, and still wanting to make a fortune!
By the time these people regret it, it will be too late.

This is the current situation.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi sneered as they watched the scene unfold before them.

The two had no sympathy for these rogue cultivators.

Of course, neither of them felt any sense of shared sorrow or sympathy.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi stood not far from those Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The two of them killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator and repelled two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Liu family, demonstrating the combat power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In any case, no major family or sect dared to push this level of expert too far.

Currently, these Foundation Establishment cultivators all believe that Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi are fellow cultivators of the same level who are hiding among the rogue cultivators.

With such cultivation levels, they can no longer be used as cannon fodder to scout ahead.

If Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were sent to scout ahead, these two Foundation Establishment cultivators would definitely turn against them!

Seeing that their side also had a Foundation Establishment cultivator in command, the other independent cultivators would definitely follow suit and launch a counterattack.

Then, it will be another fierce battle.

The alliance of families and sects will inevitably win the battle, but killing so many rogue cultivators will cost countless lives of our own people, and the price is too high.

It was extremely unwise to provoke the Foundation Establishment cultivators among the rogue cultivators from the very beginning!

Through wave after wave of attrition, the number of rogue cultivators will eventually dwindle.

By then, hidden Foundation Establishment cultivators like Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi will have no henchmen to help them, and they will be at their mercy.
This is precisely why the families and sects, despite sensing the danger posed by Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, did nothing to stop them!
Seeing that no one stood up for them, the four rogue cultivators who had been named had no choice but to grit their teeth, unleash their magical power, and even summon their "Vajra Talismans" as they walked towards the seven-colored glazed light barrier.

Seeing that the four were obedient, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators stared intently at them to see their reaction after entering the formation.

After dawdling for a while, the four of them squeezed into the seven-colored glazed light shield. Just then, four long swords appeared out of thin air inside the shield, their light flashing like serpents, and they attacked the four of them!

The four people brandished their magical weapons to defend themselves, but how could they possibly be a match for the magical weapons?

"Crack, click..."

After a few sounds, all four people's magical artifacts were severed. Then, with a flash of sword light, all four people's heads were cut off and fell to the ground.

They're better off than the first batch of cultivators who entered the formation!
The four of them blocked at least two sword strikes, and one of the stronger ones even blocked three!

This reassured the Foundation Establishment cultivators watching by a little.

"They are all spirit swords forged from Geng metal!"

This time, Li Yunjing could see clearly and knew what materials the four spirit swords were made of.

Like Li Yunjing, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators also saw it clearly, and their eyes lit up!

Even disregarding the unknown treasures hidden in those pavilions and towers, these spirit swords are top-notch items!
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators are willing to risk their lives for these spirit swords.

"How to do?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who forced the rogue cultivator into the formation asked coldly.

The actual results have proven that cultivators at the Qi Refining stage seem to have no ability to test the limits of the formation.

Insignificant people cannot play any role in this formation.

Even if we send someone else to probe the formation, it will be pointless.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

After a long while, a cultivator emerged from among the rogue cultivators. His aura suddenly intensified, revealing that he had reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

All eyes turned to this person. Including Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, this was already the third Foundation Establishment cultivator among the rogue cultivators!

This made the Foundation Establishment cultivators from various families and sects look extremely solemn.

No one knows how many Foundation Establishment cultivators are left among the remaining rogue cultivators.

"Cough cough!"

The cultivator coughed lightly before saying, "Exploring the array is pointless! None of us are array masters! If we want the treasures within the array, we have no choice but to fight to the death!"

"My opinion is that everyone should enter the formation and charge together! Let's use everyone's strength to forcefully break this formation!"

As soon as the cultivator finished speaking, everyone stirred.

If all cultivators rushed into the formation without knowing its power, they might succeed, but there was also a very high probability that they would be completely wiped out!

The Foundation Establishment cultivators from their families and sects fell silent, unsure of what to say.

They have power and a legacy. Sometimes they live not for themselves, but for their families and descendants, and for the continuation of their sect!
If they all die, "White Sand Island" will probably have to change owners.

This is what these Foundation Establishment cultivators are worried about.

"Yun Jing, how confident are you in the truth of what you're saying about this person?"

Yu Yunyi transmitted her voice to Li Yunjing.

"Um……"

After thinking for a moment and organizing his thoughts, Li Yunjing cautiously transmitted his voice back: "I think I have a 30-40% chance! This formation is clearly an offensive sword formation!" "In our opinion, the attack power of the spirit sword earlier was quite ordinary."

"What we don't know now is exactly how many swords are in the sword formation! Is it seven? Nine? Eighteen? Twenty-four? Or more?"

"Without a specific number, I can hardly judge the complexity of the formation!"

"It's even more impossible to determine the changes and power of the formation!"

"It's not realistic to send someone to probe the formation now! I doubt the rogue cultivators would dare to go in! Even if they were forced by these Foundation Establishment cultivators, they wouldn't want to go in."

"I have quite a few good items on hand, enough to withstand several rounds of spirit sword assassinations!"

"Even if we are outmatched, we have a backup plan: tear apart the formation and escape!"

After Li Yunjing finished explaining his judgment and backup plan, he asked, "Yunyi, what about you?"

"Yes! I'm fine too! I have ways to save my life!"

Yu Yunyi responded quickly, clearly demonstrating that as the eldest daughter of the Yu family, she had ample resources to protect herself.

Once Li Yunjing confirmed that Yu Yunyi was alright, he was no longer worried.

What does it matter to him whether other people live or die?
"I'll say something!"

After discussing it with Yu Yunyi, Li Yunjing felt relieved. He stepped forward and said, "We have a 50% chance of breaking this formation. It's not as hopeless as we imagined!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Yunjing, and especially after hearing his calculated probability, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

A 50% probability is not low!

That's enough for them to fight to the death!
Cultivators don't have the idea of ​​taking a gamble with an 80-90% chance of success!

Forging ahead fearlessly is the true essence of a cultivator.

Apart from the cultivators from those major families, the vast majority of people have worked their way up to where they are today through sheer hard work and struggle.

Throughout my life, I have relied on luck to turn misfortune into good fortune and danger into safety countless times.

Now, Li Yunjing's words brought them some comfort.

Then Li Yunjing shared his assessment of the sword formation.

Of course, most of what was said was in a positive light.

Li Yunjing was afraid that these cultivators would be frightened and dare not enter the formation.

Sure enough, after Li Yunjing's reasoned analysis, the Foundation Establishment cultivators felt much more at ease.

One by one, Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered together, exchanging information rapidly.

Fifteen minutes later, everyone agreed to the plan to charge.

"Alright! All you Qi Refining Realm cultivators, prepare to enter the formation!"

After a long while, a Foundation Establishment cultivator spoke up.

Then all the Foundation Establishment cultivators began urging the Qi Refining cultivators to enter the formation.

This time, no one was exempt, whether they were independent cultivators, sect disciples, or family juniors.

When the crucial moment arrives, there's no need for further words; no sect or family can afford to keep any secrets.

No Foundation Establishment cultivator would allow anyone to refuse to join the battle!

If you don't go in, then the only path you can take is "death"!

Want to wait outside and snag a bargain?
Don't even think about it!

One by one, Foundation Establishment cultivators stared intently at the cultivators from other families. Everyone was helpless and stood at the edge of the formation, waiting to enter the formation together!

If they were to enter the fray one by one, it would become a piecemeal tactic.

These people aren't stupid. As long as they can hold out for two or three breaths, they'll be completely safe once the Foundation Establishment cultivators come in.

The group of independent cultivators were speechless with anger!
These young masters and ladies from these families, and the elites from these sects, are no different from cannon fodder, and they have nothing to complain about.

This time, life and death are entirely in the hands of fate.

"Enter the formation!"

A Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted, and everyone began to enter the formation. After all the Qi Refining cultivators had entered, the Foundation Establishment cultivators also stepped into the seven-colored glazed light shield almost simultaneously.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were no exception.

"Hey!"

With so many people entering the formation, the seven-colored glazed light shield shone brightly, and a massive sword array composed of twenty-four spirit swords appeared in mid-air.

The appearance of the twenty-four spirit swords immediately absorbed all the seven-colored light, and then shot it down continuously, killing one cultivator after another.

Instantly, sword energy surged, and dozens of Qi Refining Realm cultivators perished.

Some of these sword beams were also aimed at Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi. Each of them had a defensive spiritual artifact protecting them, and at the same time, they kept slashing and cutting away the sword energy with their spiritual swords!
In particular, a circular silver shield appeared on Yu Yunyi's left hand. Once the magic power was activated, it immediately grew to a size of ten feet, enough to completely hide her and Li Yunjing behind the shield.

At this moment, all the cultivators were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities to fight against these twenty-four spiritual swords!
"These spirit swords are incredibly powerful! Almost all of them possess the power of high-grade spirit swords! Fortunately, these spirit swords have been placed here for many years and have long since lost their masters, resulting in a depletion of energy. This is why they can only unleash the power of mid-grade spirit swords!"

After blocking several flying swords, Li Yunjing also figured out the details of this spirit sword.

"Clang! Clang!"

Seemingly sensing how difficult the cultivators below were to deal with, these flying swords suddenly surged in power, their sword intent conveying an indomitable and fierce aura!
Everyone felt as if they were on a battlefield filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, amidst a sword formation, where the aura of iron horses and golden spears, and the relentless struggle to the death, suddenly intensified.

"These spirit swords have all developed their own spirituality!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators were all startled, then overjoyed.

With their superior numbers, they managed to withstand several rounds of attacks. As their minds began to wander, they even conceived the idea of ​​seizing the spirit sword.

On the battlefield, every cultivator was giving it their all!
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, most people possess a spiritual artifact.

At this time, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from various families and sects, working together, with two or three people fighting against a single spirit sword, actually gained the upper hand.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, working together, are equally formidable.

Not long after, under Yu Yunyi's cover, Li Yunjing waited until a spirit sword came at him, and immediately used his bare hands to disarm the attacker, quickly reaching out his right hand and grasping the hilt of the spirit sword that shot towards him!
"Bang bang bang..."

After the spirit sword fell into Li Yunjing's hands, it remained restless, constantly vibrating and trying to break free from Li Yunjing's grasp. In particular, wisps of sword energy continuously shot out from the blade, slashing towards Li Yunjing.

"Little guy! Still not convinced!"

Li Yunjing sneered, tightening his grip on the sword hilt with the "Five Elements Sealing Technique" continuously channeling its power!
Seal and suppress this spiritual sword.

On his body, he was fully equipped with his original defensive magical artifacts, the "Mysterious Jade Inner Armor," the "Azure Moon Daoist Robe," and the "Swift Wind Boots." The precious light emanating from these artifacts surrounded him, blocking the wisps of sword energy from his body.

To be cautious, Li Yunjing changed the appearance of his "Azure Moon Daoist Robe" into a plain blue robe.

No one could discern Li Yunjing's origins from his clothing.

The spirit sword struggled for a while longer before finally exhausting its power and being subdued by Li Yunjing.

After examining the three-foot-long golden sword, Li Yunjing tossed it to Yu Yunyi, saying, "Here you go! I'll get another one later!"

Without giving Yu Yunyi a chance to refuse, Li Yunjing set his sights on another spirit sword and suppressed it using the same method.

Li Yunjing didn't examine it closely and simply tossed the sword into his storage ring.

This spirit sword cannot be used for the time being, as it is not compatible with Li Yunjing's abilities. It requires constant refinement and subjugation through spiritual will.

Only by imprinting one's own spirit and will onto the sword can one achieve unity between man and sword.

Only when it reaches that point will this spirit sword truly belong to Li Yunjing. Only when he has a thought and the sword flies out will it unleash its power and kill the enemy out of thin air.

While Li Yunjing was subduing the two Gengjin Spirit Swords, Foundation Establishment cultivators in other directions were also subduing spirit swords.

There are quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators in each family, and some even have the highest level of Foundation Establishment, reaching the sixth level.

The power these people displayed was even stronger than that of Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, and each of them used supernatural abilities to take down the spirit sword.

As the number of Twenty-Four Geng Golden Sword Formations decreased, the pressure on the surviving cultivators also lessened considerably.

When Li Yunjing made another move and captured a Gengjin Spirit Sword, all twenty-four spirit swords had already disappeared, having been suppressed.

At this moment, as the seven-colored glass light barrier disappeared, everyone took a headcount.
