Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1163 - 514: The Teacher Takes Action

In an instant, nine "Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation" soared into the sky, arrayed in a formation of nine-nine unity in the underground air, with spiritual energy flowing between the sword formations, forming a massive Nine Palace diagram.

The seven-color spiritual spring of the underground lake was also drawn in, transforming into a pillar of light that rushed into the sky, shining alongside the brilliance of the sword formation.

The four of Li Yunjing were overwhelmed by the imposing atmosphere, finding it hard to breathe, and retreated back while simultaneously deploying their magical treasures to resist with all their might.

"This is too terrifying!"

Fu Chao widened his eyes, exclaiming: "Master Ancestor, is this meant to extract all the spiritual energy from the entire Dao Field?"

"Don’t speak, seniors are at a critical moment, let’s concentrate on being protectors!"

Yu Yunyi, although her face was pale, forced herself to speak.

At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao had no energy to concern himself with what Li Yunjing and the others were thinking; all of his energy was focused on taming the "Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation."

This great figure, a cultivator almost at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, also found it challenging.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of perspiration, and his divine sense furiously shuttled between the sword formation and the star map.

Every time he sealed, it triggered spatial disturbances, tearing the surrounding air and revealing pitch-black void fissures.

If Qin Jiuxiao hadn’t earlier released his Nascent Soul Realm aura and controlled this barrier, the entire world would have shattered under his terrifying power.

The spiritual power storm within the sword formation grew increasingly fierce, with golden arrows shot continuously from the bamboo scroll toward Qin Jiuxiao’s sea of consciousness.

Suddenly, Qin Jiuxiao grunted, and a trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Teacher, let me lend you a hand!"

Seeing this, Li Yunjing immediately activated the "Ancient Bronze Bell," its soundwaves materializing to forcibly suppress the rampant sword formation.

As for Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, they were only tense with anxiety, lacking any means to help.

Li Yunjing’s intervention could contribute somewhat and have some influence, but their actions were entirely superfluous and ineffective.

"We can’t give up!"

At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao gritted his teeth in persistence, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.

He abruptly activated his lifebound magical treasure, a jade pendant engraved with star patterns, which floated in the center of the sword formation, instantly absorbing all the spiritual power storms.

Under the jade pendant’s influence, the nine sword formations gradually calmed, and the bamboo scroll in the center ceased its assault.

As the last trace of spiritual energy dissipated, Qin Jiuxiao exhaled deeply, wobbling slightly as if exhausted.

"It’s done! This ’Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation’ truly deserves its reputation, able to both attack and defend, and contains the mysteries of space law!"

Yet, his eyes were gleaming with excitement.

Qin Jiuxiao beckoned, and eighty-one flying swords transformed into beams of light, encircling him, emitting joyful chimes.

"Congratulations, Teacher (Master Ancestor)!"

Seeing Qin Jiuxiao had indeed successfully subdued the "Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation," Li Yunjing and the others spoke in unison, their faces filled with admiration and joy.

"I was able to master the sword formation so quickly, thanks to your summarized experience."

Qin Jiuxiao smiled at Li Yunjing: "This sword formation, let’s explore and promote it together as master and disciple!"

Qin Jiuxiao lightly waved his hand, and four streams of light flew from his sleeve, merging into the foreheads of Li Yunjing and the others.

Fu Chao touched his head, laughing foolishly; his sea of consciousness now contained a jade scroll recording the methods for refining high-tier talismans. Lv Ruoxi’s soft sword suddenly emitted an icy blue glow, as she obtained a sword art capable of resonating with the sword formation; Yu Yunyi’s jade flute hummed, revealing ancient array patterns, its containing secret techniques directly elevated several realms.

The casual rewards bestowed were already endlessly beneficial to Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao.

These pieces of knowledge were invaluable treasures.

Far more useful than rewarding some spirit stones or array plates.

After all, learned knowledge benefits a cultivator throughout their life, truly enhancing their strength.

"These are for you all."

Qin Jiuxiao then took out four jade tokens carved with star patterns, "These are the Passage Orders for Master Xuan Xiao’s Dao Field; you can use them for entry into the barrier and access to the spiritual spring in the future."

He looked at Li Yunjing, full of expectations, raising his hand to pass over an ancient array plate: "This ’Tian Yan Wan Xiang Plate’ is an opportunity I gained in my early years, perfect for you to research arrays."

Li Yunjing solemnly accepted the array plate with both hands; as soon as his fingertips touched the surface, he sensed myriad array patterns flowing, as if a new world of arrays had opened up.

"Thank you, Master, for the guidance; I will definitely explore the sword formation’s mysteries alongside you!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed; with this treasure, he could combine it with the "Seven-Star Treasure Manual" to accelerate his understanding of arrays, significantly benefiting his time-constrained self.

Qin Jiuxiao laughed heartily, his mana surging, causing the spiritual spring in the underground lake to suddenly surge, condensing into four crystal-clear spiritual beads suspended in the air: "These ’Cleansing Marrow Spiritual Beads’ can help you consolidate your foundation."

"Thank you, Teacher (Master Ancestor)!"

Li Yunjing and the others didn’t expect yet another benefit, each happily accepting the "Cleansing Marrow Spiritual Beads."

"But remember, such opportunities are easily coveted."

Qin Jiuxiao’s gaze swept across the group, his expression turning solemn: "From today, I will be in seclusion here for three months; you must integrate the sword formation and cultivate your strength."

With that, he sealed again, causing the Dao Field barrier to shine brilliantly, thoroughly concealing the area.

Without the peak Nascent Soul Realm strength and Array Dao Grandmaster skills, it would be impossible to notice any anomalies here in the Endless Mountain Range.

Three months passed in a flash, with the underground Dao Field’s spiritual energy surging like a tide.
