Xu Feng walked into the forest and stopped at a stone wall. He unleashed the Great Strength King Fist, creating a large hole, and then used the Earth Elemental Flat Rock Blade to slightly modify the stone cavity, turning it into a simple Cave.
After clearing out the Cave, Xu Feng swung his blade against another stone wall, slicing through it as if cutting tofu, removing a large rock and placing it in front of the cave entrance to block it.
Once he sealed the entrance and set up an illusion formation, he retreated into the cave and took out forty Supreme Treasure Swords that he had refined at the Golden Stone Workshop.
These forty swords were divided into five groups, with eight swords each for Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. They were not prepared for the disciples of Koukou Group as Xu Feng had initially thought; instead, they were meant to replace his Swift Wind Thirty-Six Swords.
After practicing in Water Curtain Cave for a hundred years, Xu Feng advanced to the Mid Stage of Spirit Separation. His Soul Power increased accordingly, and his sword control improved significantly. His understanding of the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Formation deepened as well. He had already moved beyond the fixed number of swords in Gale Sword Formation and transitioned to the "Ten Thousand Swords Mode" of Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Formation. As long as his spiritual power was sufficient, he could wield any number of swords.
Xu Feng had secretly tried controlling fifty swords. Since the thirty-six swords he previously used were Medium-Grade Magical Artifacts, he did not dare to increase the number too much. This led him to decide to refine forty Supreme Treasure Swords at Golden Stone Workshop for use as Flying Swords. They did not need to be extravagant; as long as they were powerful enough, simplicity was acceptable.
The leap from Medium-Grade Magical Artifact to Supreme Treasure was significant, making control naturally more challenging.
In the cave, Xu Feng focused on refining the swords. This batch refinement was faster than refining a single sword. Initially, he practiced one by one but later switched to refining three at a time.
Even with this fast pace, it still drew dissatisfaction from Exotic Eye. With its distinct red and black face sneering slightly, it opened its mouth and inhaled all the Supreme Treasure Swords into itself.
In less than ten minutes, all forty swords were refined.
Xu Feng smiled and said, "Exotic Eye, didn't you say you didn't want to take action?"
Exotic Eye replied, "But I also don't want to see you waste time."
Xu Feng was not angry and said, "Thank you."
Exotic Eye was on his side; there was no reason to be upset. Just like A Qi's eccentricity, it was still considered a brotherhood. In the end, when something happened, he would still rely on his brothers.
Originally planning to refine forty swords over ten sessions, thanks to Exotic Eye's intervention, it only took less than five sessions.
"Boom!" The stone cave exploded as Xu Feng rubbed his fingers and stepped out.
In just five hours, he had refined all the treasure swords. Xu Feng felt invigorated; with these forty Supreme Treasure Swords, the power of Gale Sword Formation would undoubtedly increase several times.
Xu Feng smiled lightly, and his body transformed into a streak of light, shooting into the vast sea.
Under the sea, Xu Feng wielded the Five Elements Treasure Blade, practicing the Combat Techniques he learned from Meng Hui. The Five Precious Blades shifted back and forth in the water, occasionally leaping out of the surface before disappearing like an arrow.
On the island, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was leading several Foundation Disciples on an expedition. One disciple spotted Xu Feng breaking through the water and exclaimed, "Master, look at that cultivator! He's alone in the sea slaying monsters; how impressive!"
The master glanced over and said, "That is a strong practitioner at the Divine Separation Stage. Even I am not his match. They all go to the Chaotic Sea, but this person has remained in the Raging Sea. You must not offend him to avoid bringing disaster upon yourselves."
The disciples hurriedly agreed, feeling both fear and admiration. They thought to themselves: It won't be long before I can be like him, traversing the vast sea freely with a sword in hand, challenging anyone who dares to compete.
Xu Feng practiced his sword techniques in the sea, indifferent to others' opinions.
He chose the Raging Sea primarily to avoid the attention of high-level cultivators. Practitioners above Separation of Spirit were all training in the Chaotic Sea and looked down upon those who wandered in the Raging Sea. Meanwhile, cultivators below Yuan Ying would steer clear of Xu Feng, ensuring he would not be disturbed.
Like a fish, Xu Feng swam through the sea for ten days, becoming incredibly proficient with his five Supreme Treasures before sheathing the Treasure Blade and switching to practice with the Dao Artifact Butcher's Blade.
He had only used the Butcher's Blade once during a battle against Meng Hui at the Golden Stone Workshop and had not dared to use it lightly since then. Meng Hui was powerful, and the Butcher's Blade did not demonstrate its effectiveness against him, leaving Xu Feng quite frustrated.
As night fell, Xu Feng submerged into the depths of the sea and took out the Butcher's Blade.
Infusing it with spiritual energy caused the Butcher's Blade to shine brilliantly, casting a massive pale red blade shadow on the dark seabed. A terrifying killing intent spread outwards, causing nearby Sea Demons to flee in panic; some lower-tier Sea Demons even died from sheer fright due to their slow escape.
Even though it was night, if one were close to the surface of the sea, they could still see a faint blade shadow cleaving through the water. However, in such deep darkness and vastness of the ocean, who would notice that a Low-Grade Dao Artifact was moving beneath?
With a loud crash, a mountain underwater that was a hundred meters wide was cleaved in half, creating a massive whirlpool on the surface. Despite being separated by water, one could still feel the power of that single strike capable of splitting mountains; this demonstrated just how formidable Dao Artifacts could be.
For ten consecutive nights, Xu Feng practiced his sword techniques at the seabed. Each night brought turbulent undercurrents due to Xu Feng's relentless slashing with the Butcher's Blade.
Many cultivators training in this area believed that high-level beasts from the Chaotic Sea had entered the Raging Sea. They all took their disciples and hid on the island, afraid to venture into the water.
There were also passing experts at Divine Separation Stage who wanted to dive down to investigate but were deterred by an overwhelming killing intent as soon as they entered the water and dared not proceed further.
After ten days, Xu Feng had a comprehensive understanding of the practical effects of the Butcher's Blade and was able to use it more skillfully.
With this, Xu Feng once again delved deeper, stepping into the area of the Chaotic Sea.
The Chaotic Sea was ten times wider than the Raging Sea, deeper and more dangerous. Practitioners at the Divine Separation Stage had to be doubly cautious here; a moment's inattention could result in being torn to shreds by demonic beasts.
Xu Feng had once pursued a Soul Beast in the Chaotic Sea with Xu Ruchu. During that operation, all ten Divine Separation Practitioners from the Xu family and Shennong Valley were killed in action.
After resting on the island for a while, Xu Feng leaped into the depths of the Chaotic Sea when night fell.
He swam underwater for a hundred miles, confirming that no other practitioners were around before summoning his Supreme Treasure Sword from within his body.
The ultimate goal of this outing was to practice the Gale Sword Formation.
Currently, Wuwei Academy was searching everywhere for black-clad individuals using Sword Formations. If it were discovered that the Gale Sword Formation was Xu Feng's trump card, he would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. At that point, those coming after him would not be experts of Silverbeard's caliber.
Underneath a rock on the seabed, numerous Supreme Treasure Swords flew out from Xu Feng's body. With each sword released, Xu Feng felt an increasing burden. By the time he reached the thirty-eighth sword, his eyebrows shot up.
He could originally control fifty Mid-Grade Flying Swords, but after switching to Supreme Treasure Swords, he could manage at most forty. Now, with increased resistance underwater, he found that thirty-eight was his limit.
The thirty-eight Supreme Treasure Swords formed a sphere with a diameter of thirty meters in front of Xu Feng. The arrangement differed from the Gale Sword Formation, displaying an almost omnidirectional distribution—present everywhere: front, back, left, right, above, and below.
Even practitioners at the Great Perfection Stage could not withstand the attacks of Supreme Treasure Swords; Qianlongzi had perished beneath thirteen Supreme Flying Swords.
The Flying Swords began to operate in the water, stirring up currents and uprooting all seaweed within a hundred meters around them.
"Kill!" The thirty-eight Supreme Treasure Swords intertwined and pierced through, completing a positional shift. All fish, shrimp, aquatic plants, and impurities at the center of this sphere were reduced to dust in that single maneuver.
Xu Feng scanned his surroundings and directed the Sword Formation toward a nearby rock.
"Kill!"
"Boom!"
The towering pile of rocks disintegrated into dust with a loud crash.
The tremendous noise startled the nearby Seventh-Level Monsters. These beasts were significantly stronger than those from the Raging Sea, each possessing the strength of the Divine Separation Stage. Upon seeing Xu Feng's Sword Formation, their instincts warned them that this person was not to be trifled with, and they all hurriedly retreated.
Xu Feng activated the new version of Sword Formation twice in quick succession, depleting a considerable amount of spiritual energy. He then retracted the Sword Formation and flew out of the water's surface.
Finding a deserted island, Xu Feng sat down in meditation, recovering his spiritual energy while contemplating the power of the recent Sword Formation strike.
Controlling thirty-six Supreme Flying Swords was much more challenging than handling Mid-Grade Flying Swords. What used to be a freely deployable Sword Formation could now only be used a maximum of two times. However, the power of the Sword Formation had at least increased tenfold, rivaling if not surpassing the thirteen swords of the man in black. Killing Silverbeard should not pose much of a problem.
After all this time, Xu Feng finally felt he had gained the strength to slay Silverbeard and let out a sigh of relief.
Over the next year, Xu Feng continuously changed locations, practicing Sword Formation underwater until he became thoroughly proficient, stabilizing its activation at around one to three times.
The success rate and stability of his strikes improved significantly, causing great misfortune for those Sea Demons.
Due to Xu Feng's presence, the Chaotic Sea became even more tumultuous. Beasts would flee upon seeing Xu Feng, while human cultivators sensed an exceptionally powerful beast roaming the Chaotic Sea. Both sides were on edge, fearing they might encounter that Killer God.
During this time, Xu Feng hunted a Giant Head Beast and hollowed out a massive seashell to conceal himself within. This time, his target was a Level Seven Soul Beast.
Soul Beasts favored consuming the brains of Giant Head Beasts. Previously, he had lured out a Soul Beast using this method during his farming efforts and successfully slain it.
Now, Xu Feng didn't need to venture out to sea; he merely baited from beneath the waves, leaving little hesitation for the Soul Beast.
Soul Beasts were typical opportunists skilled in soul attacks. They couldn't overpower other beasts but had no trouble escaping, especially in the water where similarly ranked beasts could hardly harm them.
Hiding within the nearby seashell, Xu Feng observed as various blood-scented beasts quickly devoured the body of the Giant Head Beast. However, its massive head remained untouched.
The head of the Giant Head Beast emitted an unusual odor and was mostly bone; only a small amount of brain matter was edible, which happened to be the Soul Beast's favorite food.
After guarding the conch for an entire night, the Soul Beast that had been observing from the shadows finally appeared.
Looking around, there was no danger, so it walked straight to the side of the Giant Head Beast and began to gnaw on it without hesitation. After all, no one was competing with it for this food; this was its territory, so there was nothing to worry about.
This Soul Beast was larger than the one Xu Ruchu had hunted and was already nearing the Transformation Period. If this one had come ashore back then, Farming would have had no way to deal with it.
Crunching sounds echoed as the skull was bitten open piece by piece, revealing the bright red brain matter inside. The Soul Beast couldn't help but flick its tongue.
Suddenly, the Soul Beast dropped the brain matter and turned to evade. Its instincts as a beast allowed it to sense danger more acutely than humans.
A twenty-meter mass of Light and Shadow tightly surrounded the fleeing Soul Beast. It had barely run fifty meters before it stopped.
The Soul Beast opened its mouth, ready to unleash a soul attack, but saw thirty-eight Flying Swords descending angrily from all around.
Roar! The Soul Beast let out one last howl as it was pierced by the Sword Formation, meeting its end.
