Chapter 518: Galactic Sword Array
Aside from the set of 72 flying swords, there were also three more longswords on the ground, one white, one black, and one green.
These three swords were all immortal treasures, and they were giving off bursts of law power fluctuations.
Han Li picked up the white sword to find that while it was very straight, the surface of the was rather bumpy and uneven, indicating that it had been refined using the leg bone of some type of demon beast.
With a slash of the sword, it instantly lit up, and gusts of white yin winds began to swirl around it, giving off a bone-chilling glacial aura.
Even with Han Li's immensely powerful physical constitution, he couldn't help but shudder slightly, but strangely enough, the surrounding seawater didn't freeze at all.
Han Li's eyes lit up slightly upon seeing this. It seemed that the law powers imbued within this sword were only effective on physical bodies, so it would be a good weapon to use against other opponents with formidable physical constitutions.
After setting the white sword aside, Han Li picked up the black sword, which was inky-black in color and far shorter than the average sword, only around a foot in length.
Furthermore, its blade was very thin, and there were some dark green spirit patterns engraved onto it.
Han Li gently glided his finger over the blade of the sword, and a gash was sliced into his finger.
The gash was black in color, and the flesh around it began to rapidly necrose while spreading outward.
This is some extremely potent poison! Han Li thought to himself as a ball of golden light emerged over his fingertip, and the rate at which the poison was spreading was slowed down significantly, following which the wisp of poison law powers in the gash was slowly forced out.
The black gash quickly turned red again, then vanished altogether just a few seconds later, and Han Li's finger was restored to its original condition.
He set down the thin black sword before turning his attention to the final immortal sword.
The sword was dark green in color and longer than the average grown man was tall. Its blade had been crafted in the shape of undulating waves, and it was giving off a cold gleam.
This sword contained the most formidable spiritual power fluctuations out of all three of the immortal swords, and it wasn't inferior to any of the immortal treasures in the possession of Feng Tiandu and the others.
Han Li grabbed onto the hilt of the sword before lifting it, upon which his expression instantly changed slightly.
As it turned out, the sword was incredibly heavy, still far less so than his Heavy Water True Axis, but for a Golden Immortal who didn't focus on physical cultivation, the sword would be almost entirely impossible for them to lift.
Han Li swung the sword through the air, and it immediately released a vast expanse of green sword projections, which were imbued with the laws of destruction.
All of the sword projections then shrank down at Han Li's behest, converging to form a pillar of green light before crashing down onto the seabed.
The seabed was instantly torn apart like a frail rag, creating an enormous rift that was several dozen kilometers in length and hundreds of meters wide.
The entire seabed shuddered violently as if an earthquake had just taken place, and the willow-leaf-shaped island in the distance also trembled and swayed for quite some time before settling down again.
A hint of elation appeared in Han Li's eyes upon seeing this.
He still hadn't refined the sword yet, nor had he swung it with his full power just now, yet it was already extremely formidable, and its destructive power was further enhanced by the destructive law powers that it contained.
If he had unleashed that strike with his full power just now, he would've been able to easily shatter the entire seabed within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and even the island of the Cold Crystal Race would've been destroyed.
Right at this moment, a burst of spiritual sense erupted out of the island before sweeping through the surrounding area, and it belonged to the itinerant immortal that had been assigned to the island.
Han Li didn't want to meet them right now, so he raised a hand to summon an azure light barrier to conceal himself, as well as the damage inflicted by the sword just now.
The itinerant immortal's spiritual sense swept over the nearby area several times, but ultimately didn't discover anything amiss and faded away.
Even so, Han Li didn't withdraw his azure light barrier.
He took a glance at the dark green sword in his hand, then gave a nod of approval before stowing it away along with the other two immortal swords, following which he turned his attention to the pills on the ground.
After examining all of the pills, a faint smile appeared on Han Li's face.
These pills weren't inferior in the slightest compared with what he had found in the storage tools of Xiao Jinhan and Feng Tiandu, and most of them were recovery, regenerative, and antidotal pills, clearly collected in preparation for the adventure that he never had the chance to embark on.
After stowing the pills away as well, Han Li turned his gaze to the final few items, which consisted of two jade scriptures and a strange-looking silken handkerchief. 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘯𝑜𝓋𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝓂
One of the jade scriptures was golden in color, while the other one was blue, and the latter was a lot thicker than the former.
He picked up the golden scripture first before quickly flipping through it.
It contained the Bright Moon Sword Arts, a very advanced sword cultivation art that was supposed to be able to support one's cultivation to the High Zenith Stage.
The sword intent cultivated using this cultivation art was very different from what Han Li was cultivating, but there were still some things in this cultivation that he could reference.
After setting the golden scripture down, he picked up the blue one, and this one contained all types of powerful sword techniques, of which there were close to 1,000 in total, and every single one of them was extremely profound.
These sword techniques weren't just designed for battle. Instead, there were also some that could allow one to slay inner demons and hone their mental fortitude, among other things.
Han Li previously thought that he was quite an expert in swordsmanship and sword techniques, but after seeing this blue scripture, he realized that he had been far too flattering in his self-appraisal.
The art of swordsmanship was one that was filled with vast complexities, and his knowledge in this field was still severely lacking.
With that in mind, Han Li sat down on the spot and began poring over the jade scripture in a completely enraptured fashion, and it didn't take long before he finished the first half of the scripture. novelbuddy(.)com
As soon as he moved onto the second half, his eyes immediately lit up. As it turned out, the second half of the scripture contained all types of sword arrays that were even more profound than the sword techniques that had come before them.
......
One profound sword array after another was laid out before Han Li, and they served all types of purposes, such as slaying enemies, trapping targets, defending the user, and there were even sword arrays that could stimulate one's acupoints and refine their physical bodies using sword qi.
It didn't take long before Han Li read through the entire scripture, and an intrigued look appeared on his face at the sight of the final sword array recorded in the scripture.
As time passed, the intrigue in his eyes steadily grew more pronounced before eventually transitioning into amazement and elation.
Only after a long time had passed did Han Li raise his head with a bright gleam in his eyes.
This sword array was called the Great Galactic Sword Array, and it was an extremely complex sword array that drew upon the power of the stars. It had been created by the Boundless Daoist over the course of 100,000 years after extensive observation of the stars in the night sky, and it was her supreme sword array of the Boundless Sword Sect, able to grant the user the power to slay enemies one or two cultivation ranks above them.
It could even be said that all of the sword techniques and sword arrays up to this point in the scripture had been created for this final sword array, which combined everything into one.
In order to unleash this sword array, 72 flying swords that were imbued with starpower were required, and they had to be of a very high caliber. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to bear the enormous power of this sword array.
Once the sword array took shape, each of the flying swords would resonate with one of the stars in the sky, allowing them to draw upon their starpower. It would appear as if a dazzling galaxy of stars had appeared within the array, simulating the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
The array was extremely powerful, but it also had very stringent prerequisites that had to be fulfilled, requiring the user to be at least at the High Zenith Stage while also possessing immense spiritual sense.
There was also a simplified version of the array called the Minor Galactic Sword Array that could be unleashed using just 36 flying swords, and this array could be unleashed by late-Golden Immortal cultivators. Of course, it wouldn't be as powerful as the array's complete form, but it would definitely still allow one to sweep through all opponents of the same cultivation base.
Han Li slowly exhaled to suppress his excitement.
This Great Galactic Sword Array was extremely appealing to him.
Once one reached the High Zenith Stage, it would be virtually impossible to slay an enemy of a superior cultivation rank, unless they had extremely formidable immortal treasures or law powers to assist them.
Hence, it was very bold to proclaim that this Great Galactic Sword Array could allow one to slay an enemy one or two cultivation ranks above them.
Han Li turned his gaze to the 72 blue flying swords beside him, and he grabbed one of them before gently flicking its blade with his finger.
The sword immediately began to quiver like a blue spirit snake while emitting a pleasant ringing sound.
It was clear that these flying swords had been refined for the purpose of unleashing the Great Galactic Sword Array, but as they currently were, Han Li wasn't confident that they would be powerful enough to withstand the strains of the array.
There really was only one way to find out the answer to that question.
Even though the scripture stated that only after reaching the late-Golden Immortal Stage could one hope to unleash the Minor Galactic Sword Array, he possessed far more immortal spiritual power than the average mid-Golden Immortal cultivator, so there was a chance that he would be able to pull it off.
With that in mind, Han Li set down the flying sword in his hand as a contemplative look appeared on his face.
By his estimates, even if these swords could be used to unleash the Galactic Sword Array, they would only just barely be up to scratch.
If he wanted to unleash the Great Galactic Sword Array in its full glory, then he would have to refine another set of flying swords that were imbued with starpower.
His Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords also came in a set of 72, and they were far more powerful than these flying swords. Even though they didn't contain any starpower, it wasn't impossible to change that.
There were many profound sword nurturing techniques recorded in the scripture, and one of them was the Star Spirit Gathering Array, which allowed one to refine their flying swords using starpower.
This secret technique could draw upon starpower to eradicate the impurities within flying swords, thereby elevating their quality, and flying swords refined using this secret technique would slowly be infused with starpower.
Some annotations had been made in the scripture after this secret technique, so Han Li presumed that these flying swords had most likely been refined using this technique.
Having said that, he had no idea what effect this was going to have on his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
On top of that, following this trip into the Infernal Frost Immortal Manor, he was currently only able to wield three of his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords at once, and it seemed that 36 swords was far out of reach, let alone 72.
With that in mind, Han Li shook his head with a wry smile.
