Chapter 1440: Sword Fighting (continued)
The Sky Splitting Sword Sect originally had the same root and origin as the Ziyang Palace, as the master of the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect's swordsmanship for more than 10,000 years, Xiao Baiyu was naturally no stranger to the swordsmanship inheritance of the Ziyang Palace.
In fact, the founding ancestor of the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect back then was originally the Pure Yang Sword Immortal with the most superb swordsmanship achievements in the Ziyang Palace, and he was also the Pure Yang Monk with the highest voice in the Purple Yang Cave Heaven in the Little Thousand World.
Entering the Ziyang Cave Heaven meant that the Heaven Splitting Ancestor would be able to accept the True Spirit Inheritance, control the eternal secret of the True Spirit Inheritance of the Ziyang Palace, which stood tall in the cultivation realm, and become one of the real behind-the-scenes controllers of the world.
However, when the True Spirit Ancestor of the previous generation of the Ziyang Palace had to leave this world when Shouyuan was about to leave, it was another Pure Yang Monk who was far inferior to the Heaven Splitting Ancestor in terms of cultivation, strength, and popularity.
In the eyes of the Heaven Splitting Ancestor, the only reason why he was defeated should be that this Pure Yang Cultivator was not only a descendant disciple of the previous generation of True Spirit Ancestor, but also had a slight blood relationship with the previous generation of True Spirit Ancestor.
The Heaven Splitting Ancestor was ambitious, so he was naturally unwilling to accept such a failure, but the True Spirit Ancestor of the Ziyang Palace had always been able to enter the Ziyang Cave Heaven only once, which meant that unless this fellow cultivator who had just inherited the position of the True Spirit died tragically, the Heaven Splitting Ancestor would no longer have the possibility of advancing to the Pure Yang.
This possibility is not that the Heaven Splitting Ancestor himself is not good at cultivation and lacks qualifications to advance to the True Spirit, but that the Purple Yang Palace will deliberately suppress the appearance of a second True Spirit, especially the Purple Yang Cave Heaven Controller who has just achieved the True Spirit.
In desperation, the Heaven Splitting Ancestor had no choice but to rebel out of the Ziyang Palace, and founded the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect, trying to achieve the true spirit with his own strength, but in the end, the supernatural power was less than the number of days, and the hope of this Founding Ancestor to advance the true spirit finally fell short, so he had to put all his energy on the inheritance of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, hoping that the later monks of the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect could eventually replace the Ziyang Palace to become the first sword sect in the cultivation world, and even become the seventh holy place in the cultivation world.
For more than 10,000 years, the Sky Splitting Sword Sect has had its glory and its troughs, and there have been two or three Tianzong talents who have achieved true spirits, but it has also had the embarrassing situation of not being able to catch up, but the Sky Splitting Sword Sect has always maintained the qualifications of a large sect in the cultivation world, and inherited the legacy of the Heaven Splitting Ancestor to surpass the Ziyang Palace and achieve the Seventh Holy Land.
However, although the Heaven Splitting Ancestor was the first pure yang sword immortal of Ziyang Palace, he was blocked by the inheritance system of Ziyang Palace, and he did not control all the swordsmanship inheritance of Ziyang Palace in his own hands, among which he only learned two and a half sets of the three sets of open heaven sword techniques inherited from Ziyang Palace to Jiaodaoren.
In fact, the three sets of Open Heaven Sword Techniques inherited by Ziyang Palace are three sets of combined fencing techniques, and the three sets of combined fencing techniques can actually form an Open Heaven Sword Array, this set of Open Heaven Sword Formation requires six sword cultivators to be fully operational, and among these six sword cultivators, each person can inherit half a set of Open Heaven Sword Techniques.
In the inheritance system of Ziyang Palace, there will be six people in each generation who can inherit half of these three sets of Open Heaven Sword Techniques, and they are not allowed to teach each other, otherwise they will be imprisoned for life, and their cultivation will be abolished.
And when needed, these six monks were able to form a complete Heaven Opening Sword Array, which was one of the most important means for the Ziyang Palace to press the bottom of the box in addition to the inheritance of the True Spirit Ancestor.
However, since the founding of the Ziyang Palace, as one of the six holy places in the cultivation world, high-level cultivators have always emerged one after another, and the great supernatural powers are also talented people from all over the country, and their position in the cultivation world has become increasingly stable, and they can't use this set of Open Heaven Sword Formation to settle all matters in the cultivation world.
In addition, this set of Open Heaven Sword Array has quite strict requirements for the monks who form the sword array, and the six monks who were able to inherit this set of sword arrays have gradually become uneven with their growth and their respective opportunities, which has also greatly reduced the power of this set of sword arrays, so although this set of Open Heaven Sword Arrays has been inherited in the history of Ziyang Palace, it is rarely used.
Just like the Heaven Splitting Ancestor back then was already a Pure Yang Cultivator, and the same generation monk who also inherited the other half of the Sword Formation of the Open Heaven Sword Array was only a monk in the middle stage of the Law Phase, and he also lost the possibility of surviving the second thunder tribulation.
If the Ziyang Palace really encountered something tricky, just a pure yang sword immortal would be enough to eliminate everything, so why bother opening the Heaven Opening Sword Array!
The Heaven Splitting Ancestor was also one of the six inheritors of these three sets of swordsmanship powers, and the half of the Heaven Opening Sword Technique he inherited was the supreme sword technique of the Supreme Sword Technique used by Fan Mingjie today.
And when the Heaven Splitting Ancestor was rebelling out of the Ziyang Palace, one of them was a mid-stage Faxiang monk who had inherited half a set of Heaven Opening Sword Techniques with the Heaven Splitting Ancestor and followed him, so there were also two and a half sets of Heaven Opening Sword Techniques in the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect, and the other half of the Heaven Opening Sword Technique inherited by the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect was the Taiyin Yuehua Sword Technique that Tian Boliang had now cast.
When Xiao Baiyu proposed in the Ziyang Palace that the second sword fight should be fought against him by joining forces with the three generations of the six great descendants, he had already guessed that what he was going to face would be this set of Open Heaven Sword Formations that had never been broken off in the Ziyang Palace but were rarely used in front of people.
The six great descendants of Ziyang Palace cooperated with each other as horns, besieging Xiao Baiyu in the center of the sword array, among which Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie, who were the highest and strongest cultivators, each performed the Golden Crow Sword Technique and the Full Moon Sword Technique, and formed the "Sun and Moon Twin Swords" with a combination of secret techniques, as the main force in the battle with Xiao Baiyu.
And Tian Boliang's Taiyin Yuehua Sword Technique and Xie Tianyang's Flame Tianyang Sword Technique formed the "Yin and Yang Twin Swords", which were second only to the "Sun and Moon Twin Swords" in strength, and they restrained Xiao Baiyu on the side.
The weakest of the six were Su Jin, who had just advanced to the late stage of the Law Phase, and Guo Chaoxing, who was still in the middle stage of the Law Phase, one of these two people cast the Cold Ice Cotton Sword, and the other was the Zhiyang Tyrant Sword, forming the "Ice and Fire Twin Swords", and reluctantly formed the Heaven Opening Sword Formation with the other four people according to the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and assisted the other four to fight against Xiao Baiyu.
And these three sets of swordsmanship with six people to form the Heaven Opening Sword Array also have a name, called "the sun and the moon for a new sky", which is derived from the Jiaodao people's groundbreaking move.
Thanks to the inheritance of the Heaven Splitting Ancestor back then, Xiao Baiyu naturally knew the power of this Heaven Opening Sword Array, which was one of the foundations of the Ziyang Palace's faction, and of course he didn't dare to take it lightly.
However, in the previous temptation of the sword fight, he also confirmed the biggest weakness of this supreme sword formation!
If all the six people in front of me are cultivators in the late stage of the Law Phase, then it would not be too much for me Xiao to admit defeat directly in this battle, but there are still two monks in front of me who have not yet reached the late stage of the Law Phase, so it's another matter!
What's more, I, Xiao, someone's "one sword to break ten thousand laws" may not necessarily lose the "sun and moon for a new day" in Ziyang Palace!
At this moment, the situation in the fighting space suddenly changed, Xiao Baiyu, who was originally besieged by the six great masters with the Open Heaven Sword Array, took the lead in attacking, and the Heaven Splitting Sword in his hand stabbed out two swords in four directions, and the sword qi that tore through everything suddenly made the expressions of the six great masters change greatly, and even shocked the spirits of the monks of all factions watching the battle around, and the moment of the real decisive battle came!
