Calming down the fluctuations in his heart, Yang Yan sank his mind into the jade slip again, reading it hungrily, just now he only scanned it roughly, and did not look at it carefully.

After careful investigation this time, Yang Yan had a deeper understanding of the Yunxiao Sword Formation. In the records of many formation classics that Yang Yan reads, there is a saying that the formation eye is the key to the formation and the key to breaking the formation, but all the formations have formation eyes, and the formation breaker often has two ways to break the formation, one of which is to break the formation with absolute strength, you must know that although the formation is wonderful, it can often play beyond the strength of the arrayer's cultivation, but there is also a limit, when the strength of the formation breaker reaches or exceeds this limit, the formation is useless, and it can be broken with brute force.

The second is to find the location of the eye of the formation, and then break it by force. This method is useless for people who have the strength to break the formation, after all, if they can directly break the formation with their strength, why bother to find the eye of the formation?

But for people who don't have this strength, this is the only way, the so-called formation eye is broken, he may not be able to deal with the whole formation, but the formation is relatively much easier, so, even if the strength is insufficient, it is possible to break the formation.

These two methods, Yang Yan has used them when breaking the sword formation in the fourth layer, the small sword formation in front of him, he broke it with his absolute strength, but the last small sword formation with six hundred and forty swords, if he hadn't found the eye of the formation and defeated it with all his strength, although he could protect himself, he couldn't break the formation, unless his strength went further.

And one of the differences between the Yunxiao Sword Formation and the ordinary formation is that it is almost equal to no formation eye, or in other words, when someone is trapped in it, he only has one way to break the formation, that is, the first way to break the formation, to destroy all the swords in the formation with absolute strength before he can escape.

This is not contrary to the theory of the formation eye, but the formation of the Yunxiao Sword Formation is closely related to the formation of the sword, these swords are its formation eyes, to destroy the formation of the eye, it is necessary to destroy all the formation of the sword, which is actually no different from the first method.

In this way, it is equivalent to eliminating a "hidden danger" of the sword array, and the power is naturally strong.

But there is also a prerequisite, that is, there must be enough Yunxiao Sword to continuously maintain the operation of the Yunxiao Sword Array, otherwise if most of the swords are destroyed by someone and not replenished in time, although the formation is not broken, the power is greatly reduced, and it will be easy to break the formation again: .

Of course, when encountering this kind of person, the sword array can only trap him and cannot kill him, or if there is enough Yunxiao Sword, his physical strength can be continuously consumed, reduced to an underestimate, and then it is not a bad idea to kill him.

Therefore, even if the Yunxiao Sword Formation is practiced, it will be a considerable consumption when facing the great enemy, and people who are not rich enough in their families, even if they have the Yunxiao Sword Formation in hand, they are undoubtedly just chicken ribs, and they will not be able to exert the power of the Sword Formation at all.

In this regard, Yang Yan was not at all worried, just kidding, such a powerful means was held in his hand, but because he couldn't afford to consume resources, he was too useless.

Now it is obviously unrealistic for him to immediately arrange the Yunxiao Sword Array, at the beginning, the Sword Invincible was also the peak of the Qi Refining Realm to lay down the Yunxiao Sword Formation of thirty-six Yunxiao Swords, and what kind of character is the Sword Invincible, in the Qianyu of the ancient period, he can leave a peerless reputation of supreme prestige, although he is not arrogant, but he will not be blindly arrogant, thinking that he can easily surpass the Sword Invincible.

But fortunately, he obtained a ready-made hundred or so sword formations on the fourth layer, although it has not reached the level of the Cloud Sword, but it is not weak, at least the weakened version of the Cloud Sword Formation can be tried, but I don't know how many he can drive, and what is the power?

Thinking of this, he touched the Sumeru ring on his hand, and had an urge to give it a try, but he forced it down, now is not the time, and he will soon face the next few layers of tests.

At this moment, a lukewarm voice sounded in the main hall and poured into Yang Yan's ears.

"Trialist, the fifth layer is different from the previous four layers, there is only a test, there is no reward, and only by passing the test can you have the qualification to challenge the sixth layer. ”

Hearing this, Yang Yan frowned slightly, he didn't know what was going on on the first and second floors, but the third and fourth floors were all after he triggered the test, and now the fifth layer, nothing has changed, this voice appeared, which means that there are two possibilities, one is that the appearance of the sound is not necessarily related to whether the test is triggered, the third and fourth layers may just be a coincidence, and the other is that the test has been triggered.

Linked to the difference of the fifth layer, and the feeling of the soul coercion, Yang Yan faintly felt that it would be the second possibility, but he couldn't see what the test was, this kind of unknowability, he didn't like it.

And if there is no reward for this layer, what is the point of setting up a test? Could it be that the test of the sixth layer has nothing to do with it?

At this moment, Yang Yan thought a lot, and immediately asked without hiding his doubts.

"It is impossible to pass the sixth layer without passing the test of the fifth layer. That's what the voice said.

This answer seems to be in vain, it is impossible to go to the sixth layer without passing through the fifth layer, but Yang Yan heard a trace of deep meaning.

The rules of the ancestral tower, through the first layer to enter the next layer, the third layer of the test is the murderous aura and sword qi overflowing on the stone wall, but also to comprehend a trace of the artistic conception of the word "kill" to pass, the fourth layer of the test is a weakened version of the cloud sword array.

These two test the ability of the trialist in different aspects, and the corresponding difficulty can be said to vary from person to person, some people may not have enough understanding and cannot pass the third layer, but their strength may not be impossible to pass the fourth layer, and vice versa.

And can the words spoken by the voice be understood as: If you can't pass the test of the fifth layer, even if you swap the sixth layer and the fifth layer, you won't be able to pass the sixth layer first.

This means that the test of the sixth layer is greatly related to the test of the fifth layer, at least the test of the same aspect, and the test of the fifth layer is likely to be a foreshadowing for the sixth layer.

In this way, the reward of the sixth layer can be imagined how precious it is, and it is very likely to be the core inheritance of the Yunxiao Divine Sect, otherwise why bother to make a fifth layer out.

Yang Yan set his sights on the sixth layer at this moment, which was his next goal, but he would not despise the fifth layer, as a springboard for the sixth layer, it would not be too simple.

The voice had already dispersed, and it was only said that if you passed, you would be qualified to challenge the sixth layer, but it didn't say what would happen if you didn't pass, whether it would be teleported away, or would it be the same as the fourth layer - death?

Yang Yan didn't ask, and there was no need to ask, because he would not be defeated, this was his self-confidence, and it was also his belief, which has always been engraved in his bones, and he will not waver at all.

The jade slip in his hand was put into the Sumeru ring, adjusted it slightly, and truly entered this hall that was several times smaller than the third and fourth floors with a joyless and sad attitude.

With Yang Yan's movements, the power of the soul existing in the space suddenly increased, oppressing Yang Yan's soul, like an extremely heavy mountain, wanting to completely suppress it.

"Soul oppression?" Yang Yan raised his eyebrows, he had always maintained an attitude of awe for the ordinary and mysterious existence of the soul, especially after feeling the soul attack of the first relief at the entrance gate of the ancestral land, this kind of attack, invisible and substantial, was unguardable.

The soul is the most important component of a person, and even occupies a dominant position, extremely important, all human behavior and activities are controlled by the soul, including eating, drinking, walking, etc., even the control of the aura in the body is also dependent on the soul.

What will happen once the soul is suppressed, and the suppressed person becomes an empty shell, without thought, unable to act, no different from a dead person.

None of the souls are easy to get along, Yang Yan has personally experienced the pain of the soul being torn apart, it is more uncomfortable than the physical torture of Ling Chi, it is not human at all, the soul attack is strong to a certain extent, and it can really kill.

Yang Yan's soul was already much stronger than the martial artists of the same level for some unknown reasons, and after the test of the three reliefs, as well as the tempering in the third layer, the nourishment of the Soul Nourishing Pill had already left the martial artists of the same level far away, and he was not much more worried than many Qi Refining Realm powerhouses.

This soul coercion was not enough to affect him too much.

His footsteps were only slightly, and he walked forward as if nothing happened, and the soul oppression he faced became greater and greater, until he reached the center of the main hall, then he listened to his footsteps, sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.

Now he seems to know what the test of this layer is, the test of his soul strength, this is just the beginning, he can feel that the soul pressure of the spatial existence is constantly increasing, therefore, he is also constantly adapting to this pressure to reduce the burden.

Sure enough, as time passed, the pressure on Yang Yan's back continued to increase, this was the pressure on the soul, and when it reached a level that was neither light nor heavy, this growth slowed down, and then remained at this level, neither increasing nor decreasing.

Compared with the third and fourth floors, the hall was much narrower, and there was no sound, only the breath in the nostrils of Yang Yan, who was sitting in the center of the hall, did not make the hall more angry, but made the hall even more depressed.

The gradual stabilization of the soul pressure did not make Yang Yan have any slackness, to say that there is, it is also more guarded and does not show the slightest flaw, if the test of the fifth layer is just like this, it is too ridiculous, this stability is more like the calm on the eve of the storm.

The temporary silence was intended to launch a more violent offensive.

This sentence is not only applicable to the battlefield, but also to any battle and trial, Yang Yan kept it firmly in mind when he first saw this sentence, and never forgot it, so instead of slackening, Yang Yan became more vigilant and prepared for the upcoming offensive.

The oppressive atmosphere that pervades the main hall is even more intense, breathless, and in the opaque hall, the dark dome seems to have dull dark clouds rolling endlessly, as if a storm is approaching.
