In the depths of the sect, Junior Brother was standing on his flying sword while surrounded from eight directions by eight rebirth realm cultivators.
Furthermore, each of the protectors was surrounded by eight elders in their respective eight directions.
Junior Brother could tell that he was currently locked in some sort of an eight-trigram formation, but he wasn't worried as the formation didn't have any coherent elements in circulation.
Such formations are formidable when supplemented by two, four, or eight elements. However, the ferocious martial intent is attributeless, and it doesn't even have any subcategory martial intents that could call upon the powers of the elements.
Such a martial intent won't take someone very far on the path of cultivation as the realms after rebirth require a deep understanding of world laws and the elements entwined within to create a life star.
