Unparalleled Divine Power

After calming himself down, Qin Xiao began to carefully observe his surroundings. He always felt that the layout of the underground palace was somewhat ingenious.    

From Cang Taecheng's last words, he had obtained a lot of useful information. For example, he knew how to pass the test. Now, there were only two months left. He had to successfully cultivate the Heavenly Astral Devil Subduing Formation within this time limit.    

Such a test was too difficult. It sounded like an impossible task.    

One had to know that Qin Xiao was a pure little white who knew nothing about formations. He had no foundation at all. Not to mention cultivating the Sword Array, even the beginning of the formation in such a short period of time was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.    

Furthermore, cultivating the Sword Array was several times more difficult than cultivating it. Just thinking about it was enough to tell how terrifying it was.    

In less than three months' time, wanting to cultivate a Sword Array from ignorance to ignorance would probably scare countless people to death.    

Cang Taecheng could be considered a top genius in the entire Damo Kingdom. At least, Qin Xiao had never heard of an eighteen year old Peak of the Bone Exchange Stage. A fifth grade Talented divine Ability, this was already a peerless rarity. It was enough to be absorbed by the Damo Kingdom's imperial family.    

Such a figure, in the end, still died here.    

Now that this test was placed on Qin Xiao, it was undoubtedly equivalent to a huge mountain. If it was any other person, their confidence would collapse and they would die here.    

However, Qin Xiao wasn't discouraged at all. The belief in his heart wasn't affected at all.    

"Formation..." Carefully looking around, Qin Xiao vaguely sensed something. "The test left behind by the ancestors, no matter how high the requirement is, there will definitely be a glimmer of hope. If it is a sure-death situation, then it is meaningless."    

"The purpose of the test left behind by the Expert is to find a suitable successor. For someone like Cang Taecheng who has reached the pinnacle of talent, Logically speaking, he should be able to enter the eye of the eye. Perhaps the difference is still some comprehension ability. He hasn't comprehended what this ancestor's Expert truly wants. "    

"Judging from the current situation, this ancestor's Expert should be an Expert figure of the First Dao of Sword Array. The criteria for him to choose the successor should be to test these two aspects. The First Dao of Sword. I don't need to prepare anything anymore, only the path of formation. I don't even know the tip of the iceberg right now, and I want to enter the path of formation. It is indeed too difficult. However, I think that Senior Expert has left behind some hope. He can help me pass the test."    

"The right thing to do is whether or not I can discover the hope that he left behind."    

Qin Xiao thought for a while and made some deductions. After that, he combined the feeling in his heart. He still felt that the layout of the underground palace might be a guide.    

Following this line of thought, Qin Xiao's mind was completely immersed in the layout of the underground palace. Gradually, he discovered that it was getting more and more exquisite. One by one, the hidden door of the underground palace was discovered. It was as if he was cracking a series of traps. As long as the first one was broken, the second one would be connected. He would be able to crack the first one along the way, and it would become more and more profound.    

Unwittingly, Qin Xiao's understanding of formations also increased. He also slowly understood many basic things. This was a process of deduction and also a learning process. It was easier to master this process.    

The layout of the underground palace was incomparably exquisite. It was slowly guiding Qin Xiao into the world of formations.    

This feeling was just like how an elder taught you how to read and understand when you were a child. One step at a time, you would learn very quickly.    

After gradually entering a good state, Qin Xiao was even more at ease.    

Time flew by. After a full month, Qin Xiao finally stopped, and a smile appeared on his face. "Wonderful. It was truly wonderful. The Expert of the Dao of Formation had laid out a trap. It was indeed marvelous beyond compare. Each ring was linked with the other. As long as you have enough comprehension, you can peel it off layer by layer. Then step into the gate of the Dao of Formation. "    

"Transforming complex into simple, using the simplest method to display the complex Great Dao of Formation in front of me, allowing me to comprehend it with incomparable ease."    

"The Dao of Formation, I can now be considered to have mastered it."    

"However, there's only a little more than a month left, although I've already mastered the Dao of Formation. However, the true test is still to cultivate the Heavenly Astral Devil Subduing Formation. The difficulty of cultivating the Sword Array should be much harder than cultivating the formation. Fortunately, i've got a good start. Although the time spent in the Dao of Formation was a little long, at least it made the ink in my heart right now. A little more confidence."    

"Let's go all out!"    

After he was happy, Qin Xiao's expression became serious again. Once again, he arrived in front of the Heavenly Astral Devil Subduing Formation. He had carefully studied it before. The detailed explanation didn't hinder him from reading.    

If he wanted to cultivate the Heavenly Astral Devil Subduing Formation, he would have to control 36 swords, form a formation with the sword, and fuse the Sword Array into one, triggering a terrifying power.    

The first step was to learn how to control the sword.    

Just like the Imperial Sword Technique Qin Xiao had learned before, that was to control the sword. It sounded like controlling the sword wasn't difficult, but when it came to true cultivation... It wasn't that easy. The core of the sword controlling technique was controlling the sword. The last time Qin Xiao cultivated the sword controlling technique, he had to spend a few days before he could successfully cultivate it.    

This time, he could skip some of the process of controlling the sword. However, the sword control technique could only control one sword, while the Heavenly Astral Devil Subduing Formation could control 36 swords. This was not as simple as 36 times more difficult.    

Therefore, even though Qin Xiao had the experience of controlling swords, he found it impossible to control these 36 swords. It was too difficult.    

With his previous experience of controlling swords, there was indeed something that could be found in his cultivation this time, saving him some effort.    

Even so, Qin Xiao spent a total of ten days. Only then could he control the 36 swords. Controlling swords was only the first step. The second step was to make all the swords move according to their will, to set up an array formation. The third step was to make the Sword Array move at the same time, unleashing the true power of the Sword Array. Only then could the cultivation of a Sword Array be considered successful.    

The first step took ten days. Now, there were only forty days left, which was not much.    

There were still two more steps left. The more difficult two steps had to be taken, the more threatening it felt.    

The second step was indeed not as smooth as the first step. After cultivating for ten days straight, there was actually not much progress. Controlling the 36 Low-grade Spirit Artifact swords at the same time was already not easy. It was really too difficult to set up a formation at will.    

There was only a month left. It was extremely urgent.    

Even Qin Xiao felt a trace of pressure in his heart.    

"This won't do. If this continues, I'm afraid that I will still follow Cang Taecheng's footsteps in the end. There must be something that I have overlooked. Perhaps I'll have to change my train of thought. " Qin Xiao thought to himself and realized the situation.    

Qin Xiao carefully thought about it and did not let go of any details.    

After thinking for a while, Qin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. "En. Why do I have to control 36 low grade swords at the same time? Low grade swords are at the low grade level, and they belong to spirit swords. It's naturally very difficult to control them, and I have to control all 36 of them at the same time. This kind of difficulty is already very scary. He had to reach a place where he could do whatever he wanted and then set up a formation. It's truly as difficult as ascending to the heavens. "    

"What if I change it to 36 ordinary swords? What would happen then? "    

With this thought, Qin Xiao seemed to have opened a door in his heart, making him feel somewhat happy.    

With that thought in mind, Qin Xiao put the 36 low grade swords back into his spatial Universe Sack. After that, he took out 36 ordinary swords from his spatial Universe Sack and gave them a try. Sure enough, it was a pleasant surprise.    

Controlling these ordinary swords was much easier than controlling 36 low grade swords. Ordinary swords were not spirit swords, and there was no spiritual energy in them. Controlling them was naturally a common practice. Therefore, using this ordinary sword... Qin Xiao only spent ten days to complete the second step of the cultivation world. After another ten days, he finally cultivated the third step.    

"Sword Array, release!"    

Qin Xiao shouted. With a thought, the thirty-six swords flew out in unison. After that, they formed a formation in the air. The thirty-six swords simultaneously unleashed a terrifying Sword Force's power, activating the Sword Array. * Hong Long...... * A strike struck down, and instantly, a huge crater with a radius of 30 meters was created on the ground.    

This kind of power really surprised Qin Xiao.    

"Using this ordinary sword, I will use all of my strength to unleash the power of this Heavenly Astral Devil Subduing Formation. It can even be compared to the full-strength strike of a Peak of the Bone Exchange Stage warrior. If it was replaced by a low grade sword, its power would be increased by several times. If I use my full strength at that time, I'm afraid I'll kill a Peak of the Bone Exchange Stage warrior. It wouldn't be a difficult task. The power of the Sword Array was indeed terrifying. No wonder... I've never heard of any Sword Array masters." Qin Xiao clicked his tongue.    

There were still ten days left, and he wasn't completely successful yet. So after a moment of happiness, Qin Xiao immediately entered the final stage of his sprint.    

He put away the 36 ordinary swords and started controlling the 36 low grade swords once again. With these 20 days of cultivation, controlling these 36 low grade swords would be much easier. He would be able to do as he pleased. The second step was not a problem at all. However, the third step seemed to be a little difficult to block. He wanted to activate the Sword Array. He wanted it to become one with his body and unleash the power of the Sword Array. He felt that he was still a little bit away.    

Even after a hundred attempts, there was still no way for it to explode out. It was as if it was stuck on something.    

He clearly felt that he was just a little bit away, but this little bit was stuck on something. Qin Xiao was lost in thought for a moment. What was the problem?    

Using an ordinary sword was already a success, but using a low grade sword was obstructed. What was the problem?    

Heart state? Thought?    

What exactly was it?    

Time slowly approached, and the danger of death once again approached. It was also very difficult to say that he was not anxious at all.    

However, Qin Xiao knew that the more time it was, the more he couldn't shake his heart. Otherwise, he would surely fail on the verge of success.    

Very soon, Qin Xiao calmed down completely. Once again, he sorted out everything. He didn't let go of any details. He wanted to find out where the problem came from, and how to deal with it.    

Seven days had passed. There were only three days left until the deadline of three months.    

Qin Xiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly moved his eyes. A ray of light blossomed from his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.
