System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, Senior Brother Jianxin also came back to his senses from his brief daze. Looking at the sword light that had disappeared in the arena, and then at the water and fire lotus that was still floating and spinning, he was filled with resentment but had to admit that he had failed this time.

"Good, good, good." Senior Brother Jianxin gritted his teeth, staring at Chen Xuan and saying "good" three times. Then, his face was so gloomy it could drip water, and he suddenly pointed at the Thousand Sword Puppet below, shouting sharply, "Unsheath!"

The words fell.

Behind Kenshin's Thousand Sword Puppet, all ten sword boxes unfolded simultaneously, emitting a series of crisp "click-click" sounds, as if some long-forgotten powerful weapon had been activated.

Immediately afterwards, one, two, three... countless flying swords, like a swarm of bees surging forth, rushed out of the sword box with sharp whistling sounds.

In the blink of an eye, a large "dark cloud" formed by flying swords appeared in the Hall of Proving the Dao, covering the sky and the sun, with a terrifying aura.

Chen Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense and instantly knew the number of these flying swords: a total of four hundred and eighty-six!

"Sixth level of the Lesser Thousand Swords Formation!"

"Formation!"

It was clear that as all 486 flying swords roared out of the sword box, Senior Brother Jianxin's face grew paler and paler, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his breathing became somewhat disordered.

Clearly, this sixth sword formation was something he had to exert all his strength to forcefully unleash.

With a shout from Senior Brother Jianxin, the 486 flying swords quickly sprang into action, with 81 swords forming the base of each sword array. In just one breath, the six complete and exquisite array bases were perfectly aligned, and the entire sword array exuded a chilling pressure.

"If you can still block this sword, then I have lost this battle!" At this moment, Jianxin's face was as pale as paper, but he still forced himself to shout at Chen Xuan. His voice trembled slightly, whether from weakness or anxiety about the outcome, it was hard to tell.

"Alright, then let my junior brother witness the power of this sword!" Chen Xuan was also filled with excitement. The series of intense discussions and exchanges had brought him great gains, and he was now full of fighting spirit.

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, the water and fire lotus that had been blooming proudly slowly retreated, and then gently enveloped the Thousand Sword Puppet floating behind it, protecting it completely.

At this moment, the Thousand Sword Puppet is armed to the teeth. Inside, it is protected by nine layers of Dao based on the Dao of Array Formation, and on the outside, it is wrapped by water and fire lotus flowers that are good at offense and defense. If it can be broken through with a single sword, even if Chen Xuan is defeated, he will still be honorable.

"Congeal!"

Kenshin's face was extremely pale, but he still gritted his teeth and forced himself to point a finger at the six-layered sword formation from afar.

In an instant, 486 flying swords and 6 array bases simultaneously emitted intense and dazzling sword array light. Then, strands of condensed sword light seemed to be drawn by some powerful gravitational force, continuously surging and converging towards the center of the sword array.

buzzing-

Accompanied by a deafening buzzing sound, a dazzling, almost tangible jade sword slowly appeared at the center of the sword formation.

The immense power of the two complete branches of swordsmanship was poured into it without reservation.

Before the sword had even revealed its edge, its sharp, piercing cry had already resounded throughout the entire arena, causing everyone's eardrums to ache and filling them with fear.

"Wait a minute, junior brother, isn't your sword formation supposed to have nine layers?" From a corner of the void, Dragon Breath Immortal saw this scene and couldn't help but turn to look at Thousand Paths Immortal, asking in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Immortal Qiandao shook his head slightly and explained, "Although he received guidance from me three times, he is not my personal disciple. How could I possibly pass on all the sword formation techniques I created without reservation?"

"Alright, with the Sixfold Sword Formation, he's practically your disciple by now."

The Thousand Immortals didn't reply, but silently shook their heads. Then they focused all their attention on Chen Xuan, pondering to themselves: "I wonder if the two Great Daos of Subtlety are stronger, or the two complete branches of the Sword Dao are superior?"

Although they were immortals, as long as they had not studied the art of formations, even with their profound cultivation, they could not discern from the outward appearance that Chen Xuan's meticulously arranged nine-fold formation was cleverly constructed based on the Great Dao of Formations.

This is what is meant by "a trade is like a mountain to someone outside it".

The outcome of this battle has touched the hearts of all the disciples and elders of Xuanqing Palace.

After all, the myth of the reincarnated immortal's invincibility in the early stages of cultivation had been sealed away for who knows how long, so long that everyone had almost forgotten it, but now it might be broken.

"Master, Master, you are the best and the strongest! Bai Li is waiting for your triumphant return!" As Chen Xuan's personal spirit beast and someone who was extremely close to him, Bai Li was so excited to see her master become the focus of attention again that she couldn't help but cheer loudly for Chen Xuan.

This time, no matter how enthusiastically or "rudely" Bai Li shouted, not a single senior disciple found it noisy.

Because Chen Xuan proved with his strength that he absolutely deserves the title of "strongest". He has already reached the top among the third-generation disciples. As for whether he is also the strongest among the second generation, we will know once this battle is over.

"kill!"

As the dazzling jade sword completely solidified, Jianxin's face turned ashen. He trembled as he pointed his sword finger fiercely at the jade sword in the center of the formation, and roared out the word with all his might.

In an instant, the jade sword, carrying the terrifying power of two complete branches of sword techniques, shot straight at the Thousand Sword Puppet, which was protected by Chen Xuan in layers upon layers.
