Chapter 170 Dayan Sword Sect
"Then let me see what's different about this Tianyuan Realm." Gu Mo held the jade slip in his hand, and then his spiritual sense probed into it. Suddenly, a large amount of information poured in.

Gu Mo closed his eyes and quickly sorted out the information in the jade slip.

After a while, Gu Mo slowly opened his eyes. Through the information jade slip, Gu Mo had some understanding of the situation in the Tianyuan Realm.

Generally speaking, the Tianyuan Realm is in an environment where good and evil are fighting against each other.

The three major righteous sects, Taiqing Sect, Yin Yang Sword Sect, and Shennong Valley, are the three strongest righteous sects in the Tianyuan Realm. They are all sects that have powerful people who surpass the level of Yuanying Zhenjun.

The three major demonic sects, the Blood Demon Sect, the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and the Yin Corpse Sect, also have powerful people who surpass the level of Yuanying Zhenjun, and have been confronting the three righteous sects for more than ten thousand years.

In addition to the six righteous and evil sects, there are also some Nascent Soul sects. The strength of these Nascent Soul sects varies greatly. There are ordinary Nascent Soul sects with only one Nascent Soul True Lord, but there are also sects with several Nascent Soul True Lords in charge, and some of them are top-level Nascent Soul sects with Yuanying Great True Lords.

Among them, Gu Mo also saw two familiar sects, Fenghua Sect and Baihua Sect.

However, decades ago, the Fenghua Sect suddenly abandoned its thousand-year-old sacred land and relocated its entire sect, and has now been removed from the Tianyuan Realm.

While the Baihua Sect is of average strength among Nascent Soul sects, it has a wide network of contacts, and its influence is no weaker than those top-tier Nascent Soul sects.

"Did the Fenghua Sect offend some powerful person?" Gu Mo looked at the information about the Fenghua Sect. If the Fenghua Sect ran away because it offended someone, then Gu Mo would not mind reporting it and letting the enemies of the Fenghua Sect go to the Qinghe cultivation world to cause trouble for the Fenghua Sect.

Unfortunately, there was no more detailed intelligence. Fenghua Sect evacuated very decisively, and the intelligence organization personnel stationed there had no time to gather intelligence, and Fenghua Sect fled with its core disciples.

However, it is not a big problem. If he cannot find the enemies of Fenghua Sect, Gu Mo will wait until he enters the Nascent Soul stage and go there to take revenge personally.

As for the Baihua Sect, after seeing the fairy from the Baihua Sect in the Qinghejie Fairy City, Gu Mo went to get some information about it. It turned out that the Baihua Sect was too suitable for Chu Feifei.

I just don't know if Chu Feifei has joined the Baihua Sect. Gu Mo plans to go to the Baihua Sect if he has a chance. Shennong Valley and the Baihua Sect seem to have a very good relationship, because many of the precious flowers and plants of the Baihua Sect are cultivated with the help of Shennong Valley.

After getting a general understanding of the sects and forces in the Tianyuan Realm, Gu Mo then turned his attention to the sword-cultivating sects, preparing to find a master for his incarnation.

The Yin-Yang Sword Sect, as one of the three major righteous sects, is obviously the strongest sword-cultivating sect in the Tianyuan Realm. This is also the target that Gu Mo focuses on.

But in the end, Gu Mo gave up on letting his incarnation join the Yin Yang Sword Sect, because, as a top sect, the Yin Yang Sword Sect has strong people who surpass the level of Yuanying Zhenjun, and Gu Mo's incarnation has been proven to be able to deceive Yuanying Zhenjun. Before, the Yuanying Zhenjun of Fenghua Sect did not see Gu Mo's incarnation.

But Gu Mo didn't know whether the strong people above the Nascent Soul stage could see it. After all, Gu Mo's magical power of the external body was not complete.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Gu Mo gave up the idea of ​​joining the Yin Yang Sword Sect. Besides, as a top-level sect, the threshold for joining the Yin Yang Sword Sect must be very high.

Gu Mo's incarnation's talent is inherited from Gu Mo himself. Given the original body's inferior spiritual root talent, it would be difficult for him to join the Yin-Yang Sword Sect.

Instead of doing this, it is better to go to those sects with a long history but currently weaker strength. Gu Mo just wants to learn the inheritance of sword cultivation. In those sects with a long history, the inheritance of sword cultivation will obviously not be too weak.

Since these sects are currently weak, they will have a stronger desire for geniuses. Even if the genius has some minor flaws, they should be able to accept it.

"Dayan Sword Sect, it's you!"

After some searching, Gu Mo quickly locked on a target, the Dayan Sword Sect, which was also a Nascent Soul sect. Although it was the weakest Nascent Soul sect with only one Nascent Soul at the initial stage, the sect had an extremely long history.

Thousands of years ago, Dayan Sword Sect also had the opportunity to become a top sect like the six righteous and evil sects, because at that time, a monster appeared in Dayan Sword Sect and entered the realm of Nascent Soul Great True Lord in a very short time.

Unfortunately, this enchanting genius encountered an unknown enemy’s ambush and eventually died when he was trying to reach a realm above the Nascent Soul stage. From that moment on, the Dayan Sword Sect began to decline from its peak and has not recovered until now.

Such a sect is definitely the most suitable one for Gu Mo. It has an inheritance above the Nascent Soul stage, and its strength is not strong now. If the top leaders of the sect do not intend to lie down, the support for geniuses will definitely not be weak. By then, as long as Gu Mo's incarnation shows his talent, he will definitely have the opportunity to obtain the core sword cultivation inheritance of Dayan Sword Sect.

In addition to this, another point is that the Dayan Sword Sect is not too far from Shennong Valley, so Gu Mo himself can send resources to the incarnation from time to time to help the incarnation's cultivation level break through quickly.

After determining the target, the next thing Gu Mo needs to do is naturally to condense the incarnation first.

He took out a drop of initial liquid spiritual power. Gu Mo had already used up two of the original six drops of initial liquid spiritual power, and this was the third drop.

He dripped a drop of essence blood into the initial liquid spiritual power, and then Gu Mo used his magical power of external body to begin to condense an incarnation. With Gu Mo's current golden elixir realm, it was very easy for him to condense an incarnation without any cultivation.

Since he was going to become a disciple of Dayan Sword Sect, Gu Mo had no plans to improve the cultivation of his incarnation. At that time, the incarnation would directly practice the sword cultivation techniques of Dayan Sword Sect.

Of course, the appearance of the incarnation was also greatly adjusted when Gu Mo was condensing. The positioning of this incarnation was a brand new identity, not a replacement for the original, so the appearance could not be the same as the original.

"Three months later, the Dayan Sword Sect will start recruiting disciples. Let's go there now." After deciding to let his incarnation join the Dayan Sword Sect, Gu Mo naturally paid special attention to the news about the Dayan Sword Sect. He learned that there were still three months before the Dayan Sword Sect would start recruiting disciples.

This is a good time for the incarnation to join. However, this place is a long way from the Dayan Sword Sect, so Gu Mo has to set off now to avoid delaying the time.

It just so happens that Shennong Valley is in the same direction. After the incarnation joins the Dayan Sword Sect, Gu Mo himself can also go directly to Shennong Valley.

Compared to the Dayan Sword Sect, which almost became one of the six major sects of righteousness and evil, Shennong Valley has always been a member of the six top sects.

A three-month journey was nothing for Gu Mo, who had been drifting on the sea for a year.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, Gu Mo checked the map and confirmed that he had arrived at his destination. Along the way, Gu Mo did not encounter any unexpected situations.

The area where Gu Mo is now is the territory controlled by the three righteous sects. There are relatively few robber cultivators there. Besides, Gu Mo is a Jindan Zhenren, so under normal circumstances, robber cultivators will not provoke him easily.

After entering the territory of Dayan Sword Sect, Gu Mo used the Breath-Concealing Technique to enter the city ahead, which was a mortal city belonging to Dayan Sword Sect.

The mortals in the city are basically the descendants of the disciples of Dayan Sect. With the passage of time and the reproduction from generation to generation, there is a mortal city located near the immortal cultivation sect.

It's not just the Dayan Sword Sect, other sects have similar situations. The mortal cities near these immortal sects are also an important source of sect disciples. Moreover, these mortals live near spiritual places, and their ancestors were all cultivators, so the probability of spiritual roots appearing will be higher.

At the same time, the ancestors of the mortals here were all disciples of the sect, and their loyalty to the sect is also higher. Therefore, every time the sect recruits disciples, this place is the top priority, and the geniuses born here do not have to worry about being snatched away by other sects.

In the mortal kingdom far away from the world of immortal cultivation, major sects send people every year to recruit disciples with spiritual roots. The major sects compete with each other, and those powerful sects get the best seedlings, while the weaker sects can only choose inferior ones.

Therefore, those weak sects that want to rise can only hope that some geniuses can be born in their own mortal cities.

It is said that the peerless genius of Dayan Sword Sect thousands of years ago came from a mortal city. Otherwise, how could the Dayan Sword Sect at that time have such a genius?

Unfortunately, the Dayan Sword Sect ultimately failed to protect this genius. Or rather, at that time, the genius who had already entered the Nascent Soul stage was already the strongest in the Dayan Sword Sect, and there was no one in the entire Dayan Sword Sect who could protect him anymore.

If this genius was born in one of the six righteous or evil sects, then when he breaks through to a realm above the Nascent Soul stage, there will naturally be strong men above the Nascent Soul stage in the sect to protect him, allowing him to break through with peace of mind.

Entering the mortal city belonging to the Dayan Sword Sect, Gu Mo quickly saw the notice for recruiting disciples. Moreover, in the square in the center of the city, a large number of mortals gathered, most of them were young boys and girls.

Seeing this, Gu Mo took a light step and entered a small alley. Then a handsome young man walked out of the alley. This young man was the incarnation of Gu Mo.

Following the flow of people, Gu Mo's incarnation came to the square in the center of the city and joined the team of young boys and girls, preparing to undergo the spiritual root test.

Of course, with the talent of spiritual roots like Gu Molie, even if he could join the Dayan Sword Sect, he would probably only be a menial disciple. But since the Dayan Sword Sect is a sword sect, in addition to the requirements for spiritual roots, there are also tests for sword talent.

This is also Gu Mo's breakthrough. Although the incarnation is a mortal body and his spiritual roots are inferior, the consciousness that controls the incarnation is Gu Mo, the Jindan Zhenren. Moreover, Gu Mo has practiced the Nameless Sword Classic and his understanding of the way of the sword is not weak.

If he shows off a little bit at that time, he will at least be an outer disciple. After that, Gu Mo only needs to continue to show his talent in cultivation, and he will then be trained by the Dayan Sword Sect.

"Inferior spiritual roots!"

The spiritual roots test was quick, and as expected, Gu Mo's incarnation was found to have inferior spiritual roots. Afterwards, Gu Mo was taken to another venue to begin swordsmanship testing.

The kendo talent test is also very simple. Use a sword to chop a piece of stone. This stone is obviously not an ordinary stone. It is useless to chop it with brute force. Only by using kendo skills can you leave a mark on the stone.

"Unqualified!"

"Unqualified!"

……

Young boys and girls came forward to take the test, but none of them were able to leave any marks on the stone. And those who could come to take the test all had spiritual roots. Those who did not have any spiritual roots would be completely eliminated in the previous spiritual root test and would not be qualified to take the test for sword talent.

Sword cultivators are also cultivators. Without spiritual roots, they cannot practice at all. Even if they have a talent for swordsmanship, they can only be considered mortal swordsmen, not sword cultivators.

These boys and girls who have no talent for swordsmanship will still be accepted into the sect, but their status can only be menial disciples, unless they have spiritual roots of lower grade or above and can practice other inheritances based on their talent.

Although the Dayan Sword Sect is a sword sect, it also has some other inheritances for disciples who do not have talent in swordsmanship to practice. In comparison, the Yin-Yang Sword Sect is a thorough sword-cultivating sect. Without talent in swordsmanship, no matter how good one's spiritual roots are, one cannot enter the Yin-Yang Sword Sect.

"Next person!"

As the foundation-building monk in charge of the sword test spoke, Gu Mo picked up the sword beside him and came to the stone. Then, Gu Mo swung the sword lightly, and suddenly, a deep gap was cut on the stone.

With a mortal body and relying solely on swordsmanship skills, he was able to cut out this gap. This was the limit of what Gu Mo could do.

At the same time, this is also Gu Mo's true talent in kendo.

"Not bad!"

The eyes of the foundation-building cultivator in charge of the assessment lit up when he saw this. This was definitely a promising young talent this year.

"Ah~~"

Seeing the reaction of the foundation-building cultivator, Gu Mo sighed in his heart. It was obvious that he had a good talent in swordsmanship, but there was still some gap between him and those real swordsmanship geniuses.

But on second thought, he was good at farming, and swordsmanship was just to make up for his lack of fighting power. He could not enjoy the treatment of a genius in Dayan Sword Sect, so he would experience it after he went to Shennong Valley.

"What's your name?"

The foundation-building monk began to ask Gu Mo's name. Although Gu Mo's spiritual root talent was a bit poor, his talent in swordsmanship was very outstanding and could be cultivated with emphasis.

"Lin Wu!"

Gu Mo said the name he had thought of a long time ago. In order to completely separate the incarnation from the original body, Gu Mo did not choose a name similar to the original body's name.

As for why it was called this name, Gu Mo simply felt that this name had the flavor of a protagonist.

"This is your temporary ID card. Please wait here." The foundation-building monk handed a card with the incarnation's name on it to Gu Mo.

Passing the assessment is only the first step to enter the Dayan Sword Sect. There will be many more tests to come. Of course, these tests are not necessarily all talent tests. They are mainly to detect whether one’s origin is clean, so as to make sure that he is not a spy arranged by the Demon Sect.

"Then it's time for me to go to Shennong Valley." The incarnation successfully entered the Dayan Sword Sect, and Gu Mo himself naturally prepared to report to Shennong Valley.

I don’t know whether Master Qi Chunde has returned. The last time I heard about Qi Chunde, he was being chased by the enemy.

As for Qi Chunde's safety, Gu Mo was not worried, because the ID card Qi Chunde gave him could sense Qi Chunde's life or death.
