Chapter 692: Chapter 269: Small Success in the 36 Flying Heaven Sword Array, Black Market Rising Again

Chapter 269

Undoubtedly.

The Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation is indeed stronger than the Thirty Flying Heaven Sword Formation.

Not only because it requires more flying swords, but because the Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation is fundamentally an advanced version of the Thirty Flying Heaven Sword Formation.

The sword formation is more mysterious and complex, and its assembled power is naturally more terrifying and formidable.

"Now.

My Thirty Flying Heaven Sword Formation has already reached the Great Success Stage.

If I want to continue cultivating it to the Perfection Stage, it would take at least three to five days.

This is too long for someone like me, eager to enhance my combat power.

It’s better to switch to practicing the Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation.

With my foundation, entry level is not difficult.

And once I enter that level,

the improvement should also be much easier.

At least, within two to three hours, I should be able to cultivate it to mastery, or even the Small Success Realm.

And once the Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation reaches mastery, its power won’t be much weaker than the Thirty Flying Heaven Sword Formation at the Great Success Stage.

If it achieves Small Success, its power might even surpass the Thirty Flying Heaven Sword Formation at the Great Success Stage..."

Zhou Changwang pondered quietly.

Although he couldn’t precisely gauge the increase because he hadn’t fully mastered it yet,

based on his previous experience with the Twelve, Eighteen, and Twenty-four Flying Heaven Sword Formations, it could enhance by twenty to thirty percent.

"A slight enhancement is still considerable.

Twenty to thirty percent.

In certain situations, it’s a qualitative leap."

Without any hesitation whatsoever,

Zhou Changwang took a brief rest before immersing his heart spirit into cultivating the Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation.

Along the way,

Zhou Changwang’s practice of the Sword Formation Technique has deepened his understanding of the Sword Path to an incredibly profound level.

Now, practicing the Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation, because of the direct connection, the mysterious changes were clear to him at a glance, allowing him to deduce the subsequent trends of the Sword Path.

It’s like a senior student returning to learn elementary school material.

There seemed to be no difficulty at all.

After slightly contemplating and understanding the operational principles and formation trends, Zhou Changwang began practicing.

A thought!

From the storage bag, the flying swords shot out like swimming fish.

Under his control, they formed a sword rain, rapidly sweeping forward.

As they flew, they automatically formed a formation, with sword bodies and trails cooperating to create a unique sword array, until it successfully closed its last loop ten zhang away.

The sword array formed!

Instantly.

Inspired in his heart, Zhou Changwang released a strike.

Rumble!

The grand array shook, with great waves rising in the void.

The shock hit the distant mountain wall, causing a clattering sound.

This was the phenomenon caused by the mountain wall being unable to withstand the pressure of the sword array’s residual force.

"The Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation, at the entry level.

And it already has considerable power just after forming."

Zhou Changwang estimated that this strike’s force wasn’t much weaker than a full-power strike from a Foundation Establishment Fourth Level Cultivator.

Most importantly, the overwhelming momentum of countless flying swords rushing out was too bold.

Once the sword array is unleashed, it can shake the courage of some people, making them lose their fighting spirit.

Even if they could barely withstand it, they wouldn’t have much heart to resist, naturally, they couldn’t be opponents.

"The only weakness of the Sword Formation Technique, you could say, is the time it takes to form the array initially, and the corresponding execution distance..."

The power of this Sword Formation Technique is undeniable.

But that doesn’t mean it has no weaknesses.

Its weaknesses are actually quite obvious too.

That is, the time needed to form the array, and the execution distance.

Take this Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation as an example.

From when the flying swords are released to when they form the array takes nine breaths.

Although its might is astonishing, if the opponent acts decisively, they could easily disrupt it, making it impossible to unleash.

Although, as my proficiency increases to mastery level, it should be shortened to five or six breaths, it’s still somewhat long.

So only by achieving Small Success, or even the Great Success Realm, completing the formation within three breaths, can its corresponding combat strength be fully realized.

There’s also the distance to consider.

The flying swords need to fly ten zhang away before the sword formation is considered complete.

It’s fine if the distance between both sides is far enough.

But if it’s close, it’s quite inconvenient.

This likewise requires reaching mastery, Small Success, or even Great Success to improve.

"At the Great Success Realm, you can complete the Sword Formation Technique within three zhang.

By then, whether attacking from afar or close combat, you can exert the corresponding power."

Zhou Changwang felt a bit reassured.

For now, there’s no other way but to rigorously cultivate and practice.

Thus, without stopping, he began practicing again.

Then a third time, a fourth time.

After five times, Zhou Changwang glanced at the Attribute Panel.

"Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation (Entry Level 95/100).

The speed is much faster than I imagined.

About to reach the mastery level?"

Zhou Changwang, seeing this, felt a sense of joy.

He indeed felt his progress.

If, in the beginning, it took him nine breaths to perform the Sword Formation Technique, and the flying swords had already flown out ten zhang by the time it was completed.

Then now, with the same Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation, it takes only eight breaths to perform, and when completed, the flying swords have flown only nine zhang...
