All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Everyone wants to go to a better sect, so when they see that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's formations don't even make it into the top ten, they certainly won't choose it.

Pills and weapon crafting are even worse; they would never choose those.

In addition, Elder Zuo, who takes an unconventional approach, does not accept unqualified disciples, so there are only two of them.

Feng Ning sighed, "So, are you going to add me to the list this year? Aren't you afraid I'll embarrass myself? I haven't even learned anything yet."

Da Niu looked at her seriously, "So for the next period of time, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You will stay with us and cultivate. We must improve your formation skills. If you embarrass yourself again this year, we, master and disciple, will have to be kicked out."

Feng Ning suddenly felt immense pressure, but Qin Ya said with a smile.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. Don't worry, even if we can't win, I won't let my father kick you out. You will still be my good senior brothers, good senior sisters, and good junior sisters."

Da Niu's smile was somewhat forced. "Even if you were willing, we would still feel a little guilty, so we must make it into the top ten this time."

Feng Ning thought for a moment and nodded, "I will try my best not to hold you back."

However, after they started practicing, Da Niu became withdrawn.

This isn't about not holding them back; it's about deliberately waiting for them to hold them back.

From the second day onwards, Feng Ning stayed in the array courtyard and did not go out.

The four of them stayed inside, studying and cultivating.

Feng Ning's progress was so rapid that even Elder Zuo had to marvel at her extraordinary talent.

It would be even better if it were his own disciple.

He was so jealous.

Moreover, she became even angrier after learning that her master was not a practitioner of formations.

Da Niu was quite surprised, not expecting her to be a sword cultivator.

Feng Ning smiled and said, "Actually, my swordsmanship is just so-so. I'm probably not as good as the senior brothers and sisters of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."

This is, after all, a high-level continent. He doesn't know how high his level of knowledge is, so he'd better not boast about it for now.

Since there are few people on the Formation Peak anyway, she'll just stay put for now and learn formations first.

After safely delivering her to the Myriad Swords Sect, Ye Yuan left, saying he had things to do.

Feng Ning didn't ask any more questions and let him be.

She hadn't felt anything when they were together, but it wasn't until they separated that she felt longing for him for the first time.

It turns out that I really do think of someone from time to time.

Even if he is not in front of you, even if you can't hear his voice or see him, his image will always appear in your mind.

However, this longing gradually became less pronounced after he began cultivating.

She devoted herself entirely to cultivation, her mind preoccupied with how to further improve the formation.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Her exceptional talent, coupled with her superb memory, made her a success.

In just a few months, he had already reached the sixth-level array master.

Her progress made Dali feel quite moved.

"After decades of cultivation, I've only reached the seventh level. You've quietly reached the sixth level, which makes me seem useless."

Da Niu laughed heartily, but then realized there was nothing funny about it.

"What are you laughing at? I'm only at level six."

Then, she looked at Feng Ning with a resentful expression, "You cheated, didn't you? Are you really a fourth-tier cultivator? Your breakthrough was too fast, you've already become a sixth-tier cultivator? I don't believe it."

Feng Ning smiled and said, "Then what you said, if I didn't cheat, could I have learned so quickly?"

Everyone laughed.

Another month passed, and Feng Ning broke through again.

However, this time it's her cultivation level that's breaking through; as her formation breaks through, her cultivation level will also advance.

From being a Nascent Soul Stage 1 when she first arrived here, to breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage 3 thanks to the breakthrough in the formation, and just now, she became a Nascent Soul Stage 4.

The speed of progress is astonishing.

Of course, the main reason is that there are plenty of resources!

During this time, she received care and love from Elder Zuo, Dali, Da Niu, Qin Ya, and Chu Anyi.

With resources galore, it's impossible not to make breakthroughs.

In particular, after Dali learned that she also knew swordsmanship, he created several formations to allow her to practice swordsmanship at the same time.

If she doesn't improve, she'll really be letting down all the people who have put in the effort.

During this period, Chu An came several times, and Lin Xian'er, whom he had met before, also came several times.

Feng Ning just felt that this person was wearing a mask and didn't want to deal with her.

Days passed by, and soon the grand finale arrived.

Feng Ning also learned more information.

The venue for the Deer Contest is called the Central Domain, which is the center of the Eastern Domain. The Myriad Swords Sect is located in the northeast of the Central Domain, not far away.

They went there a few days in advance and planned to stay there for a while.

There is a limit to the number of participants in each city; it's like an elite selection process, not just anyone can participate.

Each sect can select ten people to participate in each track; the number can be fewer, but not more.

When they set off, Feng Ning discovered that apart from the sword cultivators, they hadn't gathered all the others.

There are ten sword cultivators at the Golden Core stage, ten at the Nascent Soul stage, ten at the Deity Transformation stage, and four at the Void Refinement stage.

All the others combined probably don't even amount to as many sword cultivators.

Among them, there were at least three people from their formation academy.

However, everyone seemed to have gotten used to it, and no one laughed at anyone else, so Feng Ning obediently followed along.

She spotted Qin Ya inside, and Qin Ya greeted her when she saw her looking over.

Feng Ning hadn't expected her to participate.

Da Niu smiled and explained, "Don't let her unreliable appearance fool you, she's a ninth-level Nascent Soul disciple. In our sect, there aren't many Nascent Soul cultivators who can rival her."

Feng Ning was quite surprised. "Don't say it. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have realized how amazing she was."

Da Niu smiled, but didn't have time to say anything more, as everyone had already boarded the flying artifact.

This is even more imposing than the Xuanling Continent; it's practically a super-deluxe version.

Each person has their own room and lives with their fellow disciples.

Feng Ning was somewhat excited. It was the first time she was leaving the territory of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and going to another place, and she was quite thrilled.

So along the way, she would occasionally go out to check on the situation outside.

I have to say, the Cangnan Continent is truly vast!

The Eastern Region alone is half the size of the Xuanling Continent.

She looked around excitedly. Dali and Da Niu would sometimes stand outside with her and tell her about the surroundings.

But most of the time, everyone stayed in their rooms to cultivate.

Feng Ning had been practicing array formations for a while, and was so tired of it that she stopped practicing array formations and created a barrier around herself to start practicing swordsmanship.

Practice swordsmanship with a calm and peaceful mind.
