Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

Countless dense sword shadows spread out instantly, enveloping everyone present as if it were raining.

Those five Core Formation stage cultivators had never seen such a scene before; their faces were filled with horror and panic.

"Sword...sword formation..."

"Please spare me, senior!"

As a dense rain of swords fell, the rough-looking man at the head roared and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, using his strongest defensive magic weapon, a bronze shield more than half a person's height.

Click~ Click~

Just when everyone thought they were about to die here, what shattered was not the rough man's bronze shield, but the swiftly approaching cyan sword shadow.

Seeing this, the Core Formation stage cultivators present were all somewhat stunned.

"That damned bastard, how dare he try to deceive me like this!!!"

The burly man, who had exhausted his life essence to activate the secret technique, was almost spitting out rage in his eyes. He charged towards Mu Yu's location without any regard for anything else.

Seeing this, Mu Yu didn't care. A wisp of Qingyuan sword light appeared in his hand, and with a casual flick, the sword light shot towards the rough man's location like a sharp arrow.

This time, the defensive magic weapon in the rough man's hand collided with the sword light, unleashing a strong surge of magical power.

Although this attack failed to break through the defense of the bronze shield, the strong fluctuations of spiritual energy proved that Mu Yu was not as weak as they thought.

This scene calmed down the five cultivators present.

All the anger in my heart vanished in an instant.

It's obvious that the person before me is quite strong, so that attack just now, which seemed like a joke...

Just then, the countless sword shadows attacked again. This time, the rough-looking man in the lead was still in charge of the defense, while the others took the opportunity to prepare their own trump cards.

The dense array of sword shadows collided with the rough man's bronze shield once again, but this time the power of the sword shadows increased almost exponentially. Even though the rough man had previously consumed his life essence to activate the secret technique, he was still struggling to withstand it.

The bronze shield had a few small dents, which, though insignificant, proved the adage that many ants can kill an elephant.

"Hey, hang in there. It's just a sword shadow with the power of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. You're not going to give up so easily, are you?"

Seeing this, Mu Yu kindly offered a reminder.

While deducing the method of forging the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, Mu Yu had already conceived of the sword formation attack method for the future.

With so many Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, it's unlikely that they would actually be used like ordinary flying sword magic weapons, as Han Li did.

However, as everyone knows, setting up a formation is an extremely time-consuming task.

This is something that even a sword formation cannot avoid.

Therefore, in the process of refining the magic weapon, Mu Yu also completed an alternative formation arrangement.

His initial idea was simple: since setting up the formation was slow, all he needed to do was keep the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword in the state of the formation being completed, right?

The sword pellet that Mu Yu used as the core of the formation was created under this concept.

In short, ideals are good, but reality is cruel.

Mu Yu successfully crafted the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword magic weapon, but it was completely different from what he had envisioned—the sword formation would be set up as soon as the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword was drawn.

It starts up quite quickly, but its initial power is almost nonexistent, equivalent to only one strike from a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

To further enhance its power, Mu Yu needs to expend a large amount of magical power to draw some spiritual energy from the surrounding world to power the formation.

In this case, we can say that we've succeeded halfway.

After absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a period of time, the attack power of those sword shadows has increased significantly, and now it has reached the level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

If we wait a little longer, we'll probably be able to unleash the true power of the sword formation.

Unfortunately, these Core Formation stage cultivators are about to give up!

Mu Yu looked at the five Core Formation stage cultivators struggling to survive amidst the countless sword shadows, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Seemingly provoked by Mu Yu's disappointed gaze, one of the five, a Core Formation stage cultivator, actually self-destructed his natal magic weapon and golden core, tearing a large gash in the sky amidst the countless azure sword shadows.

The next moment, the four figures transformed into four streaks of light and flew straight into the distance.

"Have you all forgotten that this is a sword formation?"

Accompanied by Mu Yu's slightly teasing voice, four streaks of light directly struck the cyan sword and shield.

The next moment, four sword energies from the cyan sword shield retaliated, directly hitting the fleeing figures.

The four disheveled figures reappeared, each bearing numerous sword wounds.

"Senior, we brothers are willing to offer up all our possessions in exchange for your lives."

"If you're determined to kill us all, then before we die, we'll destroy everything of value we own!"

The lead rough man's pleading tone carried a hint of threat.

Mu Yu didn't speak, but silently activated the power of the sword formation.

The scene fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of the wind howling as the sword shadows in the Azure Origin Sword Formation passed by.

After a while, Mu Yu expressionlessly formed a sword incantation.

The rain of swords fell again, this time with sword shadows reaching the level of the Core Formation stage.

Although it should only be the attack strength of the weakest Core Formation stage cultivator wielding the weakest magic weapon, such a large number is still enough.

After a burst of sword rain, there was not a single living person left in the entire sword formation.

The storage bags they threatened to destroy remained obediently suspended in the air, with only wisps of remnant souls and broken golden core flesh remaining in the entire sword formation.

"The power... is acceptable. But it should be largely useless against Nascent Soul stage cultivators..."

"The seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, under the enhancement of the sword formation, can split into two hundred and sixteen sword shadows, each containing one-tenth of the original sword's power."

"In other words, if we do this..."

Mu Yu spoke calmly, and at the same time, his sword technique changed. The two hundred and sixteen sword shadows, like swallows returning to their nests, transformed into a sword shadow in his hand that seemed to be a tangible thing.

"If I could use this move, I estimate that all my magical power would be exhausted, and even the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword would likely suffer tremendous damage."

"More importantly, I can't control it!"

A hint of seriousness flashed in Mu Yu's eyes. He opened his hand and let the powerful attack, which had condensed two hundred and sixteen sword shadows, dissipate.

Although this move is just a prototype now, Mu Yu will eventually perfect it.

As the sword shadows dissipated, the seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords that had been integrated into the formation returned to Mu Yu's body one by one.

Mu Yu sensed it and found that he now had less than one-tenth of his magical power left.

If it had been any later, my magic power would probably have been completely depleted.

The energy expenditure from the sword formation was still too high.

"If I had actually used that move, I probably would have died!"

After murmuring a sentence, Mu Yu immediately transformed into a streak of azure light and disappeared into the horizon.

With the blessing of his natal magic weapon, Mu Yu's flight speed increased several times. Although it was still far from reaching the flight speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was enough to evade some Core Formation cultivators!

After flying for three days, Mu Yu finally landed on a deserted island with sparse spiritual energy.

After setting up the Reversed Five Elements Formation, Mu Yu took out a futon from his storage bag, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to regulate his breathing and recover.
