I am the snake demon!

Heaven and earth are turned upside down, and the stars shift and the constellations move.

This was the first time Bai Xuan had felt completely out of control since he had achieved success in his cultivation.

After a dizzying spin, Bai Xuan looked around blankly and saw that everything around him was white and hazy, as if there were no constraints of time and space.

Bai Xuan was taken aback and was about to investigate when, in an instant, a powerful pressure that made even the soul tremble swept over him.

Bai Xuan looked around and saw four peerless immortal sword phantoms appear out of thin air in the four directions of east, west, south, and north. A murderous aura, capable of destroying the heavens and earth and slaying immortals and gods, surged forth, sealing the heavens and locking the earth.

Even more terrifying, the sword energies of the four immortal swords intertwined, and tens of thousands of array seals that Bai Xuan could not understand at all condensed, floating between heaven and earth, connected with each other, and forming a huge array diagram phantom like the sky, shattering the endless void.

Bai Xuan looked up at the sky and gazed at the four illusory images of immortal swords. A bold guess suddenly came to mind.

Four immortal swords, an unparalleled formation.

As a mythology enthusiast, he immediately learned about the legendary first killing formation in the primordial world—the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Based on the legendary Four Swords of Zhuxian, the number one killing treasure in the Three Realms, a sword formation was set up.

It is said that one saint established it, and only four saints could break it.

Could the treasure map be not only a formation diagram, but also a formation diagram for the Immortal Slaughtering Array?

Thinking of this, Bai Xuan's expression turned strange.

He wanted a powerful array, and the heavens truly granted him their favor, giving him an unparalleled array that even surpassed the limits of this world.

The problem is that the core of the Zhuxian Sword Formation lies in the Four Zhuxian Swords.

Without the Four Swords of Zhuxian, this sword formation simply could not be set up.

The purpose of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is to amplify the power of the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords.

But the problem is, where did he get the Four Swords of Zhuxian?

If he had it, he wouldn't need this formation diagram; he could just wield the Four Swords of Zhuxian and wreak havoc, shouting, "I'm not eating beef anymore!"

This is indeed a treasure, but it seems to be less useful than the Zhuxian Formation Diagram itself, which can help Bai Xuan cultivate and resist attacks.

Bai Xuan slapped his face hard to calm himself down.

This still has its advantages.

First of all, according to the Xuanmen (Taoist) tradition, I should be considered a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master.

After returning to the palace, he ordered a temple to be built for the Tongtian Sect Leader to express his sincere faith.

Regardless of whether the Tongtian Sect Leader acknowledges it or not, he has already given himself the title.

Who knows, one day, the Tongtian Sect Leader might rescue him from all the heavens and worlds!

To be honest, the reason I haven't been able to overcome my tribulations over the years, besides gratitude, might also be because I worshipped the wrong person.

You shouldn't worship Yuanshi Tianzun, you should worship Tongtian Jiaozhu!

Secondly, regardless of that, this is a powerful formation.

I don't have the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

But the world doesn't need something so powerful.

Once I arrive at the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, I will forge four divine swords for him and study them diligently. Perhaps I can even create a Pinduoduo version of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!

With this in mind, Bai Xuan felt relieved, sat down cross-legged, and earnestly sensed the sword energy standing in all directions, preparing to condense the array seal.

However, upon sensing the four immortal sword array seals, numerous images suddenly appeared in Bai Xuan's mind.

Three indistinct fairies stood on the Yellow River, holding golden goblets, demonstrating reincarnation and transforming from immortals to mortals...

Ten Taoist priests, their faces obscured, each formed an array, their ten ultimate techniques resonating together, unleashing heavenly thunder and earthly fire, lightning and thunder, floods and raging winds, displaying all the mysteries of the universe…

There was a strangely shaped Taoist priest with three heads and six arms, wielding a sword and waving a banner. In an instant, a plague spread, severing the bodies of immortals and destroying the heavens and the earth...

……

Powerful phantoms appeared in the sky, seemingly transcending the river of time.

He stared at Bai Xuan until his mouth was dry and his eyes were dazzled.

The Three Immortals Island, the Three Immortal Maidens, and the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

The Ten Heavenly Kings of Jin'ao Island, the Ten Deadly Formations.

Lu Yue of Kowloon Island, plague formation.

These are all renowned formations of the Jie Sect.

Therefore, the Zhuxian Formation Diagram not only records the Zhuxian Sword Formation, but also all the formations of the entire Jie Sect.

Upon realizing this possibility, Bai Xuan was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you!"

Without the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the Zhuxian Sword Formation cannot be set up at all.

But the other formations are different.

Especially formations like the Ten Deadly Formations.

It does not require powerful magic weapons as a foundation.

Bai Xuan was excited. The four swords clashed, and the phantom in his mind kept changing, evolving into the peerless formation of the Jie Sect.

The image finally settled on a sacred and imposing man whose features were completely obscured.

Vast and ancient, it seems to be the end of time, and also the end of human existence, like the eternal Great Way.

The Master of Heaven.

Bai Xuan looked up, rose, bowed, and said, "Disciple Bai Xuan greets the Master. I wish to spread the teachings of my Jie Sect in this strange world, so that the world may know the prestige of my Jie Sect."

Even though the Tongtian Sect Leader might not know, we still have to be polite, just in case he does.

After Bai Xuan finished bowing, the illusory image shattered, transforming into countless points of light that floated orderly around the four sword illusory images, each containing a unique formation, diverse and all-encompassing.

Almost every formation that Bai Xuan could think of appeared here.

Perhaps because there had been enough surprises today, Bai Xuan calmed down.

This is certainly a treasure, but it's only truly powerful if you actually learn it.

Just like in my previous life, top-tier cultivation techniques like "Qian Xuesen's Mechanics Manuscript" and "Introduction to Interstellar Navigation" were readily available, but why were so few people buying them?

According to Xu Yuhua, the formation also needs to be done step by step.

The four sword styles of the Four Swords of Zhuxian represent the four systems of formations of the Jie Sect.

It's too difficult to directly comprehend the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. He needs to start with the basics and find a simple formation that suits him among the four formation systems.

This is not a difficult choice.

It mainly depends on which of these four formation systems has a basic formation that he can learn.

Bai Xuan immediately began searching within the vast array of formations.

First, find the killing formation.

Generally speaking, among formations of the same level, killing formations condense the fewest formation seals, while illusion formations and trapping formations condense more.

One array after another swept past Bai Xuan. Every time Bai Xuan saw the power of the array, he was amazed and his blood boiled. But when he saw the array seals needed to condense the array, his blood boiled instantly.

The myriad array seals began to move.

That is equivalent to 100,000 array patterns.

Now, Bai Xuan can only manipulate a hundred array patterns.

This doesn't even take into account the complexity of the formation itself.

Bai Xuan scanned countless array diagrams, but none of them were as effective as his cultivation method, almost making him question the meaning of life.

Bai Xuan patted his head, trying to calm down. This was good stuff; if he couldn't learn it, it meant he still needed to learn.

This isn't someone else's problem. It's like having a mountain of gold in front of you that you can't move. It's because you're not strong enough, not because the mountain is too heavy.

Furthermore, nothing in this world is difficult if you set your mind to it.

The Myriad Immortals Formation, one of the two great protective formations of the Jie Sect, is a formation within a formation, a collection of countless great formations. Perhaps there is a small formation within it that he can comprehend.

Moreover, in addition to natural formations, the Jie Sect also has military formations.

For example, when Huo Ling Shengmu, a disciple of Duobao Daoren, one of the four disciples of Tongtian Jiaozhu, went down the mountain to obstruct the Western Zhou Dynasty, she trained three thousand fire dragon soldiers and formed a battle formation. Also, Chen Qi, one of the two generals, trained three thousand flying tiger soldiers.

While I am certainly not as good as the Holy Mother of Fire, I am not necessarily inferior to General Chen Qi.

Bai Xuan took a deep breath and continued searching. After an unknown amount of time, he finally found a formation that he could learn.

The Thunderclap Formation, with its momentum like a thunderbolt, consists of 168 array seals. When used on soldiers, it can make 3,000 men run like thunder, as if they were wearing a divine speed talisman, traveling 3,000 miles a day.

The Giant Kun Formation resembles a giant Kun (a mythical fish) in the sea. It consists of 225 array seals and can be used by soldiers to make ordinary soldiers feel as if they are on land when they enter the water, as free as aquatic creatures, to manipulate rivers and slay demons.

The Flying Wing Formation resembles a bird in flight, consisting of 228 array seals. It is used by soldiers to allow them to take to the air and manipulate air currents.

……

All of them are military formations, which reduces the difficulty to some extent.

These correspond to the three types of array seals: Extermination, Slaughter, and Annihilation.

Although Bai Xuan is unable to complete the Hundred Marks for the time being, he is confident that he can learn it if he spends more time, since he has only entered the gate of the Dao of Arrays today.

One hundred array patterns are equivalent to ten array seals. As long as he completes the condensation of the first array seal, he can instantly condense all ten seals.

For him, the hundred marks were not an insurmountable obstacle.

Moreover, comprehending the formation takes time, and during this time, it is just right to slowly condense the formation seals.

Bai Xuan's gaze shifted, finally settling on the Thunderclap Formation. There was no other reason than that this formation required the fewest array seals.

Bai Xuan was about to click and concentrate on studying when suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a formation represented by the Immortal-Trapping Sword, which had a total of 270 array seals.

Nine-Bend Formation.

One of the formations that make up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Upon seeing this, Bai Xuan's spirits lifted immediately. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was one of the top three peerless immortal formations of the Jie Sect.

In the ancient War of the Gods, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao used this formation to fight against the entire Chan Sect, defeating the Chan Sect's vice leader, Daoist Ran Deng, capturing the Twelve Golden Immortals, and imprisoning Yang Jian and other third-generation disciples. If it weren't for the arrival of the two great leaders, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, the Chan Sect would have suffered a great defeat.

Yunxiao Niangniang, the leader of the Three Immortal Maidens, thus became a popular candidate for the strongest person under the sect leader.

But few people know that the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation was not just composed of the Three Immortal Maidens; it also included 600 soldiers. The Three Immortal Maidens trained them for half a month before setting up the formation.

This Nine-Bend Formation was the formation set up by the six hundred soldiers, and it was in the shape of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation consists of three main formation leaders inside, arranged according to the principles of the Three Powers (Heaven, Earth, and Man) to form the divine formation, and six hundred soldiers outside, arranged according to the principles of the Nine Palaces to form the physical formation.

Spirit is fundamental, while form is secondary.

Furthermore, because the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is inherently special, without the Primordial Golden Cauldron of Lady Yunxiao, the power of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation would be reduced to less than one-tenth. If it were without divine intervention, it would be even more unbearable.

The problem is that this is insignificant to a Great Luo Golden Immortal like Yunxiao, but for someone like Bai Xuan, who is not even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, let alone an Immortal, he is still a treasure.

Bai Xuan stared intently at the formation. Although it was difficult to learn, he could roughly estimate the result after mastering it.

If it were in my own hands, with the help of favorable timing and location, I would have a real chance to refine myself from when I didn't know how to form formations.

Furthermore, this formation has the power to gather souls and solidify spirits.
