Chapter 152: Profound Heaven Sword Formation

The Dean thought for a moment, then said, "This is simple; the high‑level members of the Blood Demon Sect have already been mostly cleared out by me together with the Elder. You go to the Blood Demon Sect and find their disciples to spar. As for the items you need, tell me, and I'll have someone at the Main Institute fetch them for you."

"Thank you, Dean, thank you, Dean!" Ye Liuyun was also very excited. He then wrote down the few spirit bodies he lacked and some special medicinal herbs and handed them to the Dean.

"Alright, give me those items to handle, and you first go to the General Affairs Hall to claim your points, then go attend to your business!" the Dean glanced at the list, assuming the Main Institute should have all those items.

So after thanking the Dean, Ye Liuyun took his leave, went to the General Affairs Hall to exchange points, and requested to exchange for a Heaven Tier cultivation method.

Steward Yue deducted the corresponding five hundred points, gave him a token, and told him to go to the inner gate Library to make his selection.

Familiar with the route, he directly chose a top‑grade Heaven Tier Sword Formation cultivation method.

The Library Elder naturally knew him and was deeply impressed, because the entire branch currently had no one practicing Overbearing Heaven Fist.

Seeing him choose another Sword Formation this time, the Elder couldn't help but be even more astonished.

He glanced at the Demon Slaying Sword Ye Liuyun carried on his back and asked in puzzlement, "Why are you choosing a Sword Formation?"

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, and not wanting to reveal his Trump Card, he said, "I want to comprehend the Formation within and then adapt it for a Blade Formation."

"Uh…" the Library Elder was at a loss for words.

This kid's mind really is different from a normal person!

Nevertheless, he curiously asked, "How is your practice of the Overbearing Heaven Fist going?"

"I've mastered it!" Ye Liuyun replied.

"What? Mastered it?" the Library Elder was somewhat incredulous.

"Can you broaden my horizons?" he asked tentatively.

"Sure!" Ye Liuyun didn't try to hide it, and immediately delivered a Thunder‑Fire Annihilation punch, leaving the Library Elder staring in amazement.

"Really mastered it! My God! The power of this punch seems even greater than before!" he muttered in shock.

Within Ye Liuyun's punch were also the powers of lightning and Golden Crow Holy Fire, making it far more lethal than a pure Overbearing Heaven Fist.

The Library Elder was stunned into a daze. Even when Ye Liuyun took his leave, he remained bewildered. It wasn't until Ye Liuyun had already gone far that he finally came to his senses!

"My God! Our branch is about to produce a genius!" he shouted excitedly…

The two guards at the entrance jumped in surprise. Looking into the Library, they only saw the Elder muttering, "Genius, genius!"

The two guards exchanged glances, each thinking, "What madness is this old man spouting now…"

After returning to his quarters, Ye Liuyun took a Bloodline Pill and began cultivating the top‑grade Heaven Tier method, the Profound Heaven Sword Formation.

This Formation uses a primary sword as its core and can drive up to tens of thousands of swords.

Ye Liuyun naturally took his earliest soul sword as the core—the strongest soul sword. The remaining forty‑nine soul swords were also arranged according to direction.

In this Sword Formation, each sword originally requires a strand of Divine Sense to be input, then controlled by that Divine Sense, so the swords can cooperate tightly.

Since Ye Liuyun was using soul swords, he skipped even that step, directly arranging the Formation to launch an attack.

He can employ three minds simultaneously; now three parts of his Soul work together to comprehend this sword method, accelerating his cultivation.

After one night's effort, he could already activate the Formation and execute attacks smoothly, essentially reaching Minor Achievement.

If using true swords to form the array, the Minor Achievement level would hardly threaten opponents above Ninth Layer True Essence, but soul swords are different—they can allow him to slay many opponents simultaneously.

Later, Ye Liuyun resumed cultivating the second punch of Overbearing Heaven Fist, Thunder‑Fire Sky‑Piercing.

This punch requires him to expend sixty percent of his True Essence and also to activate half of his Bloodline Power to boost its strength—not merely a simple participation of the bloodline.

Using this punch, his Bloodline Power would be exposed, reaching the Blue tier standard. Anyone with even a modest knowledge of bloodlines could sense this Bloodline Power.

Nevertheless, Ye Liuyun still cultivated it first; whether to use it or not would be decided later based on circumstances.

He can now cultivate this second punch because his True Essence barely meets the fist technique's requirement, i. e., True Essence liquefaction. Though it hasn't fully liquefied to sixty percent, he can still barely unleash the punch's power.

Half a day later, following the fist's requirements, Ye Liuyun forcefully punched upward toward the sky.

"Boom!" a blasting sound rang through the air.

His Illusion Pupil saw that the spatial layer was indeed pierced through two layers. Immediately, the entire Grand Hall was riddled with a huge hole, and spiritual energy leaked out.

Qiong Qi and the other Monster Beasts hurried over, thinking the Grand Hall had been attacked!

Ye Liuyun awkwardly said, "Sorry! I punched toward the sky and didn't expect to punch a hole through the Grand Hall!"

Qiong Qi then understood and shouted, "These voids are sustained by Formation; in reality the surrounding space is the real Grand Hall, so it couldn't withstand your punch."

"Hurry and repair it; the spiritual energy has all leaked out!" Ye Liuyun quickly said.

"I'll first set up a Formation to block the spiritual energy, then you use refining techniques to seal the hole."

Saying so, Qiong Qi flew up to arrange the Formation, blocking the outward leak of spiritual energy. Then everyone left the Grand Hall.

Ye Liuyun shrank the Grand Hall, then refined metal to seal the hole.

Then he expanded the Grand Hall back to its original size and placed it back.

This time Qiong Qi also mastered it; within the Grand Hall he set up a Defense Array and a formation to block spiritual energy, preventing further breaches. He then reinforced the Defense Array outside the Grand Hall and added a counterattack function to the formation.

When he finished his tasks, Ye Liuyun finally mentioned his upcoming trial at the Blood Demon Sect.

Qiong Qi instructed him, "I'm about to break through to the True Core realm, so I can't help you for now! Keep Bai Hu and Shi Yuan by your side; let them handle any trouble first. If necessary, you can hide in the Grand Hall for refuge. We'll deal with everything after I breakthrough."

"Alright!" Ye Liuyun replied, led the few out of the Grand Hall, and then stored the Grand Hall inside a Storage Ring.

He first reported to Steward Yue. Since the Dean had already instructed Steward Yue, there was no obstruction, and he directly allowed Ye Liuyun to go.

Ye Liuyun left the Sacred Martial Branch, boarded a Flying Boat, and hurried to the Blood Demon Sect's sub‑branch.

Approaching the Blood Demon Sect sub‑branch, he landed the Flying Boat and walked with Lei Ming toward it.

Although the Blood Demon Sect's high‑ups had been wiped out by the Dean and his group, some who had reached Sea Transformation Fifth or Sixth Layer, or even higher realms, might have escaped. Ye Liuyun dared not storm the sub‑branch directly and instead employed a lure‑the‑snake‑out‑of‑the‑hole strategy.

He planned to first kill some Blood Demon Sect disciples on the outskirts, then wait for their reinforcements, deciding later whether to have Shi Yuan and Bai Hu intervene.

Bai Hu and Shi Yuan both trailed far behind Ye Liuyun, concealing their forms. At their levels, ordinary people could hardly detect them.

They agreed that they would only act if Ye Liuyun encountered danger.
