The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Spirit Mine Island. In a depression on the island.

In front of Cao Rui, a magic sword trembled and flew up. He frowned slightly and whispered to himself: "According to the introduction of the Divine Yuan Jue, only when the spiritual consciousness reaches a range of more than ten miles can one control a first-level magic sword at the same time and practice the Great Sword Formation."

He took a deep breath and felt his powerful spiritual power. After the tempering of the Divine Yuan Jue, he has expanded the power of spiritual consciousness to a range of twelve miles, far exceeding most foundation-building period.

This means that he has reached the minimum requirement for practicing the Great Sword Formation.

However, despite this, it is not easy to control a magic sword at the same time.

Each magic sword requires precise control and coordination to exert the maximum power of the sword formation. For Cao Rui, who tried it for the first time, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

He concentrated his mind and tried to make the magic swords fly steadily in the air, but they seemed to be out of control and swayed, as if they would fall at any time.

Cao Rui smiled bitterly in his heart, realizing that it was more difficult to control the magic swords at the same time than he had imagined.

After all, the magic swords were not only weapons, but also an extension of his consciousness. When he tried to control the magic swords at the same time, it was like controlling two weighted hands to do different movements at the same time, which required a high degree of concentration and coordination.

This kind of ability is not achieved overnight, and requires constant practice and training.

Ordinary foundation-building cultivators usually only control one magic weapon to fight the enemy, and rarely control two magic weapons to fight the enemy.

It was naturally very difficult for Cao Rui to control the magic weapons in one breath.

"This large-scale sword formation requires a lot of time to practice."

Cao Rui closed his eyes, and the content of the first level of the large-scale sword formation emerged in his mind.

He saw a picture in which there were 5 magic swords flying in the air, each of which was flashing with different lights. These lights represent the power of the 5 elements, namely gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The first level of the Great Sword Formation is called "All Swords Out", and its purpose is to help Cao Rui fully master the skills and essence of manipulating 5 magic swords to fight against the enemy.

The sword is the cornerstone of the entire Great Sword Formation. Only through continuous practice can Cao Rui use the 5 magic swords as flexibly as his own arms.

When he reaches this level, he can perform the unique skill of the Great Sword Formation - All Swords Out.

Although this is only the first level of the Great Sword Formation, if Cao Rui can practice to this level, his combat effectiveness will become extremely powerful among the cultivators of the same level.

Because in the foundation-building period, few cultivators can control multiple magic swords at the same time to fight the enemy.

Once Cao Rui can master this power, his advantage in battle will become very obvious.

Cao Rui began to practice according to the content of the first level of the Great Sword Formation.

Cao Rui needs to divide his consciousness into two parts, each of which focuses on a magic sword, establishes a close connection with the magic sword through thoughts, and realizes one-to-one precise control.

On the basis of splitting the consciousness to control, through continuous practice, the two parts of consciousness can be highly synchronized, as if the magic swords are commanded by the same will, with consistent actions and orderly offense and defense.

It is difficult to rely solely on consciousness, but the content of the formula uses the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements to realize the simultaneous control of the five magic swords.

Through the control of the magic swords by consciousness, the dynamic circulation or mutual restraint chain is formed to enhance the overall power and flexibility of the sword formation.

For example, when the fire sword attacks, the wood sword provides spiritual support, while the water sword is ready to deal with the fire.

After Cao Rui practiced for several hours.

The experience beads of the Great Sword Formation finally appeared in Cao Rui's mind.

"My soul is a little tired."

"Controlling a magic sword consumes too much energy."

Cao Rui looked at the experience beads in his mind. The experience value required to enter the first level of the Great Sword Formation is 10%.

According to the current progress, it will take about a month to complete the entry.

Cao Rui sat cross-legged to restore his soul energy.

After half an hour, Cao Rui restored his soul power and began to continue to practice the Great Sword Formation.

In a blink of an eye, more than 20 days have passed.

The more he practiced the Great Sword Formation, the more vigorous Cao Rui's soul energy became.

In the end, Cao Rui completed the first level of the Great Sword Formation earlier than expected.

At this time, the experience beads of the first level of the Great Sword Formation in his mind had reached 10%.

Cao Rui clicked the experience value with his mind, and the purple experience value in the experience beads flowed into the depths of Cao Rui's consciousness.

"So that's how it is."

After a moment, Cao Rui suddenly opened his eyes.

Cao Rui pinched the sword formula with his hand, and the magic swords were very neatly surrounded by Cao Rui's control.

The magic swords, each flashing with different attribute lights, were full of spiritual energy in the circulation.

"Kill!"

Cao Rui stretched out his hand and pointed, and the magic swords flew out immediately, swimming freely within the range of his spiritual consciousness.

Killing people with a ten-mile flying sword is not just a joke.

However, the farther away, the power of spiritual consciousness will naturally weaken.

At this stage, Cao Rui can ensure that the power of the magic sword will not be weakened within a hundred meters. Beyond this range, as the distance increases, the transmission distance of magic power and spiritual consciousness becomes farther, and the power will naturally weaken.

"It is still far from enough to get started."

"And the first level of the Great Sword Formation must be cultivated to at least the highest level before the second level of cultivation can be opened."

Cao Rui decided to continue the retreat.

More than two months later.

In the back mountain of the island, two magic swords intertwined to form a brilliant sword light shooting into the void!

This is the first level of the ultimate move, all the swords come out together!

Cao Rui finally mastered the first level of the Great Sword Formation.

Cao Rui floated in the air, pinched the sword formula with his hands, and the two magic swords quickly fell into Cao Rui's storage bag. Obviously, with the improvement of the realm, the speed of flying swords has increased again.

"The end of the year is approaching, it's time to hunt monsters, try the power of the Great Sword Formation, and then go back to Qingling Market." Cao Rui thought.

It was already mid-November.

There was only one and a half months left before the traditional end of the year.

Entering winter, the temperature in the East China Sea began to drop rapidly.

Next year, I have to pay Yun Changsheng 10,000 spirit stones. Cao Rui has to go back and collect a sum of spirit stones before he can pay.

In the past three months, the mine has produced another 13,000 spirit pattern black crystals.

Now Cao Rui has about 30,000 spirit pattern black crystals on him.

It is already a lot of reserves.

As the mine is mined, the storage volume can be estimated. The total storage of spirit pattern black crystals should be more than 70,000 or 80,000, not more than 100,000.

This means that next year's mining will almost complete the mining of all spirit pattern black crystals.

By then, Cao Rui will not have to come all the way to the eastern part of Yunzhou.

As for hunting monsters in the Endless Sea, there is the Endless Sea in the southwest of Yunzhou.

After instructing Qian Xiaotong and others to ensure a good daily mining volume, Cao Rui flew his sword and flew towards the depths of the Endless Sea.

To be on the safe side, Cao Rui chose the most barren sea area on the right.

At most, he could run a little further and eventually find a suitable second-level monster in the endless sea to hunt.
