The elders, upon seeing this, imdiately stood to one side and continued to watch the battle.
At this mont, facing the countless Cold Ice Sword Qi condensed by Chang Bai, Lin Chen gripped the Flowing Light Sword tightly in his hand, as the Sword Intent in him continued to surge violently.
Humm—
Suddenly, Lin Chen acted, raising his Flowing Light Sword and swinging it, releasing an invisible Sword Qi from his hand.
And in the instant that invisible Sword Qi was cleaved, Lin Chen’s aura underwent a drastic transformation.
At this point, Lin Chen’s majestic Sword Intent soared to the heavens, incomparable to Chang Bai’s ager Sword Intent.
"Is this... a Natural Sword Body?"
"How is this possible? I have examined this youth before, and he definitely should not be a Natural Sword Body, but what is happening now..."
Lu Zizai at this mont widened his eyes, staring unblinkingly at Lin Chen.
At this point, the affinity of Lin Chen’s sword techniques had reached 100%, allowing him to learn any Swordsmanship and never forget it, even capable of using it on sight.
This was a physique only a Natural Sword Body would possess; such a prodigy of the Sword Path was born to be a grandmaster of swordsmanship, their Sword Path power reaching much further than that of ordinary Sword Cultivators, achieving mastery in less ti than ordinary Martial Artists.
Boom—
The Sword Intent Lin Chen unleashed instantly shattered all the ice spires surrounding him, Chang Bai’s eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before him.
However, Lin Chen did not give him much ti to think, continuously casting one sword strike after another, advancing towards Chang Bai.
"This battle ends here, Lin Chen is the victor."
Just as Lin Chen was executing his sword techniques at Chang Bai, Mu Qianqiu leaped out, caught Lin Chen’s Sword Qi, and announced Lin Chen’s victory.
Only at this mont did Lin Chen truly erge victorious, becoming the first-place winner of the ranking competition.
No, not just the ranking competition.
In the entire recruitnt competition of the Array Formation Sect, apart from the previous two stages of aptitude assessnt, Lin Chen achieved first place in all other stages.
The invisible color in Lin Chen’s eyes slowly dissipated, and his heart was filled with imnse joy.
Fortunately, in the final mont, the Second Soul Division shattered the seven Formless Sword Qis within the Sword Path Space, comprehending the Formless Sword, which allowed Lin Chen to also grasp the essence of swordsmanship during the battle, resolving the fight with Chang Bai.
At this mont, within the Descending Heaven Hall.
After Lin Chen had vanquished the seven Formless Sword Qis, the space around him changed dramatically, and he found himself in a room filled with countless orbs of light.
"Inside these orbs of light, there are actually Treasures."
Lin Chen’s Divine Soul sensed the floating orbs in the room and exclaid in surprise.
Because he discovered that these orbs contained nurous Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
"You have passed the assessnt, and may choose one from these orbs as your reward. I suggest you choose this orb."
The Spirit of the Cave Mansion looked at Lin Chen and spoke indifferently.
Imdiately, with a casual gesture, a golden orb of light flew towards him.
Lin Chen didn’t hesitate, given the personality of the Spirit of the Cave Mansion, the other party probably wouldn’t play tricks on him.
Thus, Lin Chen imdiately reached out to catch the sphere of light, and at once, a surge of information entered Lin Chen’s mind.
"This is actually a Sword Array, quite similar to the seven Formless Sword Qis I encountered earlier."
In just a short amount of ti, Lin Chen had absorbed the Sword Array within the sphere of light.
This Sword Array was nad the Seven Killings Formation, which was set up using seven treasured swords.
If the seven treasured swords belonged to seven different powers, the might of the Sword Array would be greatly enhanced.
Treasured swords containing the Attribute of Spiritual Power were extrely rare, mostly above the Earth-grade Magical Instrunt level.
Just like Lin Chen’s Flowing Light Sword, which contained the power of the Water Attribute.
If one didn’t have treasured swords of seven Attributes, it was also possible to use ordinary sharp swords to set up the Array, but that would reduce the power of the Sword Array.
Nevertheless, the power of the Seven Killings Sword Array was no small matter, even surpassing that of the Divine Fire Troop Killing Array.
However, after Lin Chen comprehended the Seven Killings Sword Array, he discovered that the one contained within the sphere of light was not complete but rather the basic version of the Seven Killings Sword Array, capable of being set up with at most seven treasured swords.
The true Seven Killings Sword Array was not so simple, involving multiples of seven treasured swords—fourteen, twenty-one, twenty-eight... and so on, accumulating to thousands.
The more treasured swords there were, the more powerful the Array would naturally be, provided it was within the limits the setup person could bear.
Setting up this Sword Array also demanded certain standards of swordsmanship from the person setting it up, so one could say the Sword Array was tailor-made for Sword Cultivators, as only they could unleash its greatest power.
After acquiring the Seven Killings Sword Array, Lin Chen began searching among countless spheres of light for a Treasure that suited him well.
The lady in white had said that after passing this challenge, one would obtain a Cultivation Technique and a Treasure.
Lin Chen’s Divine Sense swept through the myriad spheres of light, finally selecting a sphere of light that was of Heavenly Level Lower Grade, which contained a silver treasured sword with the Wind Attribute.
This was already the highest Quality Grade Treasure among the spheres of light.
Having acquired the Sword Array and also comprehending a Natural Sword Body, Lin Chen’s gains were not small.
Looking up, Lin Chen suddenly realized that he had appeared inside a high tower.
Only then did the Spirit of the Cave Mansion tell Lin Chen that the assessnt for him and Ma Yuan was to pass through the levels of this high tower until they reached the pinnacle, and that would an gaining the recognition of the master of the Descension Ruins.
However, the Spirit of the Cave Mansion did not reveal how many layers the tower had in total.
Lin Chen was also inford that having passed the first challenge, he could no longer continue upwards, which also ant that he temporarily could not learn the Blazing Fire Divine Decree or any Divine Technique stronger than the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique. To continue challenging the tower, the necessary condition was reaching the Heavenly Human Realm in Cultivation.
With a wave of the Spirit of the Cave Mansion’s large hand, Lin Chen’s Descension Order in his hand suddenly began to sparkle.
"When your Cultivation breaks through to the Heavenly Human Realm, co back to take the challenge!"
The voice of the Spirit of the Cave Mansion echoed in his ears as Lin Chen’s body had already appeared outside the Descension Ruins, back in the mountains where he was before entering the Descension Ruins.
Lin Chen put away the Descension Order and then looked up at the space before him.
Lin Chen did not rush back to the Jade Cauldron Kingdom; instead, he waited right where he was.
He had a premonition that Ma Yuan would surely be able to pass the test of the first layer of the high tower as well.
