Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 180 Great Evolution Sword Formation
"Don't give me that crap. When you have time, spend more time on cultivation and spiritual planting." Hou Chunyu waved his hand. Gu Mo, as his disciple in the planting lineage, showed amazing talent in alchemy. In Hou Chunyu's opinion, this was putting the cart before the horse.

After reminding Gu Mo a few things, Hou Chunyu left a special leaf talisman and left. This leaf talisman is the certificate for selecting treasures. Gu Mo can go to the sect's treasury with this leaf talisman to select a treasure.

In the following period of time, Gu Mo stopped accepting orders. With the sect's deliberate information guidance, the matter of the top-grade Tuomai Pill gradually faded, and Gu Mo also ushered in a period of peace.

This allowed Gu Mo to turn his attention to the incarnation.

At this moment, Gu Mo's incarnation has become an outer disciple of Dayan Sword Sect. Although the incarnation's talent is not good, but with his understanding of the way of the sword, Gu Mo still skipped the chores and became an outer disciple.

"As expected of the Sword Sect, this inheritance is indeed very complete."

In the outer disciple area of ​​Dayan Sword Sect, Gu Mo's incarnation slowly opened his eyes. After becoming an outer disciple, Gu Mo naturally began to practice the orthodox sword cultivation inheritance.

Compared to his own random practice, the Dayan Sword Sect gave him a very complete sword cultivation inheritance. Although as an outer disciple, he did not get the core sword cultivation inheritance, but this ordinary sword cultivation inheritance was enough for Gu Mo to make up for his lack of basic skills.

At this moment, Gu Mo realized that sword cultivators not only need to practice sword techniques, but also need to condense sword power and sword intent. Only by mastering sword power and sword intent can the sword techniques they perform unleash their true power.

Recalling the information about the sword force in his mind, the next moment, a sharp edge burst out from Gu Mo, and it was obvious that Gu Mo had mastered the sword force.

This is all thanks to the powerful soul of Gu Mo Jindan monk and the sword techniques of the two nameless sword classics he has comprehended, which allowed him to master the sword moves so quickly.

As for the stronger sword intent, Gu Mo still needs to continue to comprehend, or it can be said that sword intent cannot be achieved simply by comprehending. The sword needs to be sharpened, and only a sharpened sword can give birth to sword intent.

The Dayan Sword Sect has a place where one can hone sword skills, called the Dayan Sword Formation.

This formation is a sword formation, which is also the strongest inheritance of Dayan Sword Sect. It uses swords to form the formation, and then bursts out with an attack that exceeds its own limit.

The name of Dayan Sword Sect comes from its highest sword inheritance, the Dayan Sword Canon.

"Go try the Dayan Sword Formation!"

After mastering the sword moves, Gu Mo planned to try out the Dayan Sword Formation. As an outer disciple, he would have an opportunity every year to enter the Dayan Sword Formation to hone his sword skills.

At the same time, this Dayan Sword Formation is also a place to test disciples. Disciples who perform well in the Dayan Sword Formation will receive rewards from the sect.

Gu Mo's incarnation joined the Sword Sect not for the ordinary sword inheritance. With the contributions to the sect that Gu Mo has accumulated from refining pills for Shennong Valley, if he wants the sword inheritance, he can directly exchange it for the Green Lotus Sword Art.

The Green Lotus Sword Art is a sword-cultivation technique at the Nascent Soul level, comparable to the core inheritance of an ordinary Nascent Soul Sword Sect. However, compared to the Dayan Sword Sect's Dayan Sword Canon, the Green Lotus Sword Art is inferior.

In addition to a stronger inheritance, one can also receive guidance on cultivation in the Dayan Sword Sect, as well as various treasures that can enhance the strength of sword practitioners, such as the Dayan Sword Formation.

Using the sword-controlling technique, Gu Mo arrived at the location of the Dayan Sword Formation. From the outside, the sword formation looked like a valley, and in front of the valley stood a huge stone tablet.

There are many names on it, and each name is followed by a number. This number represents the number of sword puppets defeated by the Sword Sect disciples in the Great Evolution Sword Formation.

"28!"

Gu Mo looked up and saw a name at the top, and a number behind it: 28.
This means that the opponent has defeated 28 kendo puppets in a row. Although Gu Mo has never seen that kendo puppet, he has heard that the kendo puppet is born with various powerful sword techniques, and some kendo puppets even have sword power and even sword intent.

If the Dayan Sword Formation is fully activated, it can condense a more terrifying sword puppet, which is one of the means of killing the enemy.

Nowadays, the Dayan Sword Formation is used to hone the disciples' swordsmanship. It is worthy of being the Sword Sect to use a killing formation to hone the disciples. If you are not careful, you will get injured. The most serious one was that a disciple died directly in the formation.

But the disciples trained in this way, apart from anything else, definitely have the strongest killing methods. This is the sword cultivator who is the best at killing!
The atmosphere of Dayan Sword Sect is also full of conflicts. In comparison, Shennong Valley is too peaceful. Most of the disciples of Shennong Valley are spiritual plant masters. They are either farming or researching new spiritual plants. Their combat power is definitely the weakest among the six major sects of righteousness and evil.

But this does not mean that Shennong Valley is weak. As long as Shennong Valley is still there, Taiqing Sect and Yin-Yang Sword Sect will never be destroyed by the three demonic sects because they have Shennong Valley as their top support.

The spiritual plant master is not good in frontal combat, but he is definitely the best in defense and logistics. With Shennong Valley taking care of the logistics, the Taiqing Sect and the Yin-Yang Sword Sect can fight the demonic sect without any scruples.

After observing for a while outside the formation, I found that many outer disciples and menial disciples came in and out during this period, but no one was able to make the list. There were a total of 100 places on the stone tablet list, and the last person defeated 5 sword puppets.

At the same time, this is also the threshold to become an inner disciple. As long as you defeat 5 sword puppets and enter the top of the list, you can become an inner disciple.

This is also the fastest way for many outer disciples and menial disciples to become inner disciples.

If you defeat 10 sword puppets and enter the top 20 of the list, you will be eligible to compete for the position of true disciple, and the top ten on the list are the true disciples of the current Dayan Sword Sect.

The worst one among them defeated more than 15 kendo puppets, and the top three defeated more than 20. Especially the first one, who defeated 28, far ahead of the other disciples.

Gu Mo's plan at this moment is to defeat the five sword puppets and become an inner disciple. The reason why the target is set at five is that the cultivation of this incarnation is too poor.

With inferior talent, Gu Mo had to rely on his own cultivation. Even if he used the spiritual consciousness of a Jindan cultivator to control his incarnation, his current cultivation level was only the second level of Qi Refining.

The combat power of a sword cultivator comes not only from sword techniques, but also from cultivation. If the cultivation is not up to par, no matter how powerful the sword techniques are, they will not be able to exert their power.

However, this is not a problem for Gu Mo. He plans to wait until his incarnation becomes an inner disciple, and then his original body will send a wave of resources to quickly improve the incarnation's cultivation.

In a sword-cultivating sect, there is no point in hiding your weaknesses. The stronger you are, the more resources you will get, and the stronger your combat power will be. Then it will just snowball, and in the end the strong will become stronger, and the weak will become weaker.

Thinking of this, Gu Mo took out his disciple token and then stepped into the Dayan Sword Formation.

After entering the sword formation, Gu Mo first felt a mighty sword intent. This was the power contained in the Dayan Sword Formation. Once it erupted, even a Yuanying Zhenjun would be killed.

However, at this moment, this mighty sword intent was restrained. With the appearance of Gu Mo, the mighty sword intent showed a slight fluctuation.

Then a sword puppet with an appearance exactly like Gu Mo appeared. This sword puppet was transformed from the mighty sword intent in the formation.

"Hu~~"

Seeing this, Gu Mo offered his flying sword. As a disciple of the Sword Sect, you can get a flying sword upon entry, no matter you are an outer disciple or a chores disciple. This is the exclusive treatment of the Sword Sect. However, there are no elixirs or anything like that. This is also one of the reasons why Gu Mo's cultivation progress is so slow.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Gu Mo is only an outer disciple. If he were an inner disciple, he would definitely have plenty of resources.

As Gu Mo summoned the flying sword, the sword puppet also attacked instantly. This attack was an exquisite sword technique. However, this sword technique did not contain sword power or sword intent. It was just an attack at the initial stage of Qi Refining.

But even so, with the exquisite sword techniques, this strike was enough to defeat most of the outer sect and menial disciples, and this was only the first sword puppet.

From this we can see that defeating 5 kendo puppets to become an inner disciple is a very high requirement.

Of course, this attack was naturally not enough to defeat Gu Mo. In fact, Gu Mo used his sword skills to fight back. What Gu Mo used was the basic sword skills given to him by Dayan Sword Sect after he became an outer disciple.

This set of basic sword techniques has been completely comprehended by Gu Mo. He even comprehended two moves of the mysterious nameless sword manual. Naturally, it is not difficult for him to comprehend this kind of basic sword techniques.

"bass!"

The flying sword turned into a stream of light and wiped across the neck of the sword puppet. Suddenly, the sword puppet disappeared. However, the sword puppet looked like Gu Mo, and it felt weird to have its neck wiped.

Fortunately, the appearance of the incarnation Gu Mo had already been greatly changed, and in fact this is not Gu Mo's original appearance.

After the first sword puppet disappeared, the second sword puppet soon condensed. It still had the appearance of Gu Mo's incarnation, but its cultivation seemed to have increased a little. It still had no sword power or sword intent.

The third and fourth sword puppets that followed only strengthened their sword techniques and skills, but did not show any sword power or sword intent.

It was not until the fifth sword puppet appeared that Gu Mo felt the presence of sword energy from it. This was based on the cultivation of the fourth puppet, with sword energy added.

Just by increasing the sword power, the explosive combat power of this fifth puppet was directly raised to a higher level.

This battle also made Gu Mo feel the pressure, especially the difference in cultivation, which made it very difficult for Gu Mo to deal with. Fortunately, Gu Mo also comprehended the sword power, otherwise, it would only be more troublesome.

"Zhantian!"

Finally, Gu Mo directly used the sword techniques from the Nameless Sword Canon to kill the fifth sword puppet.

Afterwards, Gu Mo left the Dayan Sword Formation, although he could still continue to advance and had the ability to defeat the sixth or even the seventh puppet.

But there is no need to do so. His cultivation level cannot keep up and the battle will be too strenuous. Anyway, defeating five puppets will qualify him to become an inner disciple. Gu Mo plans to improve his cultivation level next.

After improving his cultivation, Gu Mo will continue to challenge the Dayan Sword Formation. Gu Mo's goal is to be in the top ten and become a true disciple of the Dayan Sword Sect. Only in this way can he practice the highest inheritance of the Dayan Sword Sect, the Dayan Sword Canon.

As Gu Mo left the sword formation, the name of Gu Mo's incarnation, Lin Wu, and the number 91 appeared at the 5st position on the stone tablet.

When everyone defeats the same number of kendo puppets, the ranking will be determined based on the duration of the battle. Because Gu Mo directly used the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique to kill the kendo puppets, it took very little time.

Therefore, Gu Mo's ranking is not 100th, but 91st, which is the highest ranking among the disciples who defeated 5 puppets. The 90 disciples ahead of Gu Mo are those who defeated 6 puppets.

A new name appeared on the stone tablet, which naturally attracted attention. Just when other disciples were discussing the origins of this Lin Wu, a Jindan elder of the sect had already found Gu Mo.

"Yes, you have already comprehended the sword power to be able to defeat five sword puppets." The Sword Sect elder confirmed Gu Mo's identity token and also had some basic information about Gu Mo.

Although his spiritual talent is very poor, his talent in swordsmanship is very impressive. After all, he can defeat 2 sword puppets with the cultivation level of the second level of Qi Refining. The difference in cultivation level needs to be made up by the understanding of swordsmanship.

"Are you willing to become an inner disciple?"

After confirming Gu Mo's identity, the Jindan elder asked.

"Disciple is willing!"

Gu Mo naturally agreed without hesitation.

"it is good!"

Hearing this, the Jindan elder nodded, and then handed the inner disciple token that had been prepared long ago to Gu Mo, as well as some inner disciple benefits.

In addition, inner disciples are already qualified to become disciples of the sect's Jindan elders. If they perform well and attract the interest of the sect's Yuanying ancestors, it is not impossible for them to be accepted as disciples by the ancestors.

Of course, inner disciples can become disciples. Whether the Jindan elders will accept them is another matter. But at least the sect will arrange for Jindan elders to give lectures to inner disciples. The treatment they receive is much better than that of outer disciples.

There is also no limit on the number of times one can enter the Dayan Sword Formation. After all, there are only a few hundred inner disciples, and this consumption is negligible for the large formation. On the contrary, the outer disciples and menial disciples, although the consumption is also small, cannot withstand too many people.

Moreover, the outer sect and menial disciples were too weak. If they frequently entered the formation, they would easily get injured or even face the risk of death. Limiting the number of times would also allow the outer sect and menial disciples to be adequately prepared before taking on the challenge.

Gu Mo's transformation into an inner sect disciple caused quite a stir among the outer sect disciples, but soon after another outer sect disciple successfully defeated five sword puppets and became a new inner sect disciple, the news about Gu Mo gradually faded away.

This day.

Gu Mo's incarnation left the courtyard of his inner disciples and went to the mission hall. He was going to take on an outbound mission to meet his original body.

"It's you!"

Gu Mo quickly scanned the task list and soon selected a task to eliminate monsters. The tasks of the Sword Sect were basically all about slaying monsters and eliminating evil.

The three evil sects have always had the habit of sending spies to the righteous territory. If the evil spies are discovered, the task of eliminating them will basically be the responsibility of the Sword Sect or other disciples of the sect who are good at killing.

Of course, the most efficient ones are naturally sword cultivators.

It is because this kind of mission is quite risky that Gu Mo chose the mission of eliminating the monsters this time. He was just looking for an excuse to reunite with his original body, but he would not take on the mission of exterminating the evil cultivators.
