Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

"Nine Heavens Thunderclap Technique, Blazing Sun Flame, Flowing Light Illusionary Step..."

Inside the courtyard, Zhang Lingyu held a jade slip in his hands and studied it carefully. On the stone table next to him, there were several unopened slips.

The Zhang family is doing well now. Except for major events that require his attention, almost all the other minor matters are handled by the old man Zhang Yuanlin.

During his spare time, he began to focus on practicing magic.

Since reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the previous spells were too low-grade to be suitable for combat. Fortunately, the Yun and Ming families had a lot of Daoist scriptures. In the past few days, he sorted out the fourth-grade spells of both families and selected a few suitable ones to practice.

The Fourth-Rank Nine Heavens Thunderclap Technique was his favorite technique. Thunder was one of the most ruthless forces in the world, and it had played a significant role in dealing with Li Heihu and Yun Jinghao.

Unfortunately, that technique was only of the third rank and was a palm strike, which resulted in its power being somewhat insufficient.

This technique uses one's own magical power to draw upon lightning, which can be attached to the physical body to form a protective lightning aura. It can also drive lightning to wrap around magical artifacts to increase their power.

What's even better is that it can be released externally according to the cultivator's wishes, making it a spell that can be used for both offense and defense.

As for the Blazing Sun Flame, it seemed rather conventional.

He rarely engages in close combat. In most situations, he uses the Soul-Destroying Thorn to briefly disorient his opponent, then uses flying swords and puppets to create openings, uses magic to interfere, and finally subdues the opponent with his flying sword.

Although the Blazing Sun Flame is very powerful, it requires a long period of accumulation and a large amount of magical power to support it. Zhang Lingyu prefers quick battles, so he left this spell aside.

"The Flowing Light and Illusionary Steps are something I could practice."

After acquiring the mid-stage Foundation Establishment flying shuttle, he rarely used flight spells anymore. However, this did not mean he could stop cultivating. His previous Rainbow Transformation Technique was only at the third stage, which was simply insufficient to deal with the various enemies that followed.

Moreover, once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, it's not uncommon to see cases of seizing someone's magical artifact during a battle.

Take Yun Jinghao's Spirit Binding Rope, for example. Once you get entangled by it, it's very difficult to regain control. Fortunately, it eventually fell into his hands and became a powerful weapon.

After deciding to cultivate the Nine Heavens Thunderclap Technique and the Flowing Light Illusion Step, Zhang Lingyu selected a few more techniques that suited him. However, when he picked up the last jade slip, a strange expression appeared on his face.

This jade slip is quite worn.

Items like jade slips, which store cultivation techniques, have a limited lifespan. If a first-tier spiritual plant like Green Water Bamboo is used, the maximum lifespan is only one hundred years. Once the lifespan is up, a new one must be found and the inscription re-engraved.

The fact that the jade slip left by Tianji Sanren could be preserved for thousands of years shows just how much he valued his legacy.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Zhang Lingyu placed the jade slip between her eyebrows. After a while, a look of joy finally appeared on her face.

The Azure Lotus Sword Manual.

Although it is only a fourth-rank technique, it is a rare skill that allows flying swords to form a sword formation.

You should know that this kind of cultivation technique is something Zhang Lingyu has been searching for for a long time but has not been able to obtain. He never expected it to appear in this form.

This technique was created by Qinglian Zhenjun of the Qinglian Sect when he was young. Unlike ordinary sword control techniques, this technique can combine multiple flying swords into a sword formation, which is far more powerful than multiple flying swords.

According to the jade slip, cultivators can gradually evolve from the most basic Six Paths Sword Formation to the Thirty-Six Sword Formation, the Seventy-Two Sword Formation, and the One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Sword Formation.

Of course, the Azure Lotus Sword Manual does not contain the Seventy-Two and One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Sword Formations, because these are what the other party envisioned and needed to be perfected. However, after reading it carefully, Zhang Lingyu believed that the other party was still very likely to perfect them.

After all, when he created this cultivation technique, True Monarch Qinglian was only a Golden Core cultivator.

"Ancient cultivators were indeed all extraordinary talents!"

Most cultivators today continue to refine and evolve techniques and spells based on the foundations laid by their predecessors. Very few people can create their own. Even if they do, they need to have extremely profound cultivation, at the very least being at the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation stage.

"Without further ado, let's try out this sword formation composed of six flying swords!"

Having practiced the Gengjin Sword Technique in his early years, Zhang Lingyu had a deep understanding of swordsmanship. After pondering for a while, he took out six flying swords of different sizes. After the Yun and Ming families were destroyed, their foundation-building magic weapons naturally fell into his hands.

Adding to the four flying swords I already had, I now had just enough.

"Azure Lotus Sword Formation, activate."

As six flying swords spun continuously in mid-air, a lotus sword diagram slowly unfolded, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the courtyard began to stir. This strange phenomenon immediately attracted Wang Menghan, who was cultivating inside the house.

The girl gently opened the window and, together with the blue phoenix, poked her head out to observe curiously.

This sword formation not only absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also temporarily drained the magical power from her body, causing her face to turn red with pain.

"not good."

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyu secretly groaned and quickly cast several spells to protect the disciple, while simultaneously stopping the sword formation.

Fortunately, the sword formation had not yet reached its full potential. After a few breaths, the sword formation in mid-air stopped on its own and transformed into six flying swords that flew back into the storage bag.

"Are you alright, Menghan?"

Afterwards, he immediately rushed to his disciple's side. Seeing that the disciple's complexion had improved after taking the pill, he breathed a sigh of relief. He then checked the disciple's meridians again and, seeing that there was really nothing wrong, smiled wryly:

"It's all Master's fault, you were almost hurt."

"No, no, no, it's all Meng Han's fault. I shouldn't have peeked at Master practicing swordsmanship." Seeing Zhang Lingyu's guilty expression, the girl also lowered her head and blamed herself.

"Go and rest."

Zhang Lingyu patted Wang Menghan on the head, and after watching her return to her room, she grabbed the jade slip and headed towards the back mountain.

In the past, he always went alone, but now that he has a disciple, it is safer to practice his spells in the back mountain. After all, now that he has become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, every move he makes and every use of spells will greatly damage his Qi refining.

Upon arriving at the back mountain, Zhang Lingyu recalled the scene from earlier. Although the Azure Lotus Sword Formation was powerful, the six magical swords could not complement each other. Even though a powerful divine soul forced them to form a sword formation, the sense of disharmony was still significant.

"Could it be that they have different attributes?"

These six magical swords have different attributes, and they are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, which should be one of the major reasons.

Zhang Lingyu carefully studied the jade slip again and realized that the attributes of the flying swords that make up the Azure Lotus Sword Formation must be unified. Not only must they be unified, but the materials used for each flying sword must also be the same.

Only when these flying swords work together can they unleash their maximum power.

According to the words left by True Monarch Qinglian, after creating this sword manual, he forged thirty-six Qinglian Chasing the Moon Swords for himself. Each one was a top-grade magic weapon for Foundation Establishment, and even Golden Core cultivators could feel threatened when the sword formation was unleashed.

Zhang Lingyu doesn't have that much skill now, but if he sells these six flying swords and pays some money to buy materials, he can still forge six mid-grade Foundation Establishment flying swords.

Forging six flying swords with the same material properties at the same time will take a considerable amount of time.

"Let's use the intelligence system to search first. There's no rush. Familiarizing ourselves with the sword formation is the priority."

Zhang Lingyu didn't worry too much. After setting his goal, he once again summoned the Six Flying Swords and began practicing the Azure Lotus Sword Formation.
