Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 213 Go to Yin Yang Sword Sect to accept the mission
"My dear disciple, as our Shennong Valley is one of the three major righteous sects, we cannot avoid this battle of geniuses." Although Hou Chunyu did not want Gu Mo to participate in the battle of geniuses, the invitation mode of this battle of geniuses completely blocked his retreat.

Refusing means that you will be at a disadvantage. Even if this disadvantage will not affect the overall situation, if you lose, you will definitely be blamed.

“But you don’t have to worry. Our Shennong Valley will be responsible for logistical support. If you encounter any danger, just admit defeat. Saving your life is the priority anyway.” Hou Chunyu reminded.

Although the rules of the Tianjiao Battle have not yet been determined, some basic rules are bound to exist, such as the safe withdrawal of contestants.

Both the good and evil sides want to eliminate the other side's geniuses, but they don't want to lose their own geniuses, so there must be a rule that allows for safe withdrawal.

In Hou Chunyu's opinion, Gu Mo's ranking on the Tianjiao list is not high, so he should not be targeted specially. Instead, those who are higher on the list are the ones that both the good and the evil want to kill.

But these people are also strong, so it is still uncertain who will win.

"Grandmaster, I will." Gu Mo nodded. Gu Mo didn't care about this battle of geniuses. With his fighting power, unless a Yuanying Zhenjun appeared in the battle of geniuses, Gu Mo really didn't fear anyone.

Of course, there is no need for that. Gu Mo does not want to be too high-profile. After all, if he is too high-profile, there will be a lot of trouble later. Let the incarnation take care of the high-profile matters.

As Gu Mo's incarnation was in the top ten of the list, he would obviously also receive an invitation. Sure enough, just as Gu Mo had this thought, the incarnation of Dayan Sword Sect received the invitation from Xuan Tianhen.

"Disciple, if you are not sure, just refuse." Xuan Tianhen hesitated for a while and finally spoke.

Gu Mo is the hope of the entire Dayan Sword Sect, and once he participates in the battle of geniuses, he will definitely be targeted by the Demon Sect. Even if Gu Mo is powerful, he will be in danger at that time.

"Master, can you teach your disciple that as a sword practitioner, I should move forward courageously and not retreat just because of danger?" Gu Mo said with a smile.

The real person can't pretend to be so cool, so his incarnation has to do it.

"Okay, okay! It's because I'm indecisive."

Gu Mo's words also made Xuan Tianhen put aside the hesitation in his heart. Although this battle of geniuses was dangerous, it was also full of opportunities.

There are 12 rare sword pills condensed in Gu Mo's body, which means that the resources needed to improve Gu Mo's cultivation are extremely huge. The wealth of Dayan Sword Sect can no longer support Gu Mo.

But this battle of geniuses is an opportunity. As long as Gu Mo can achieve good results, the rewards he gets will be enough to raise his cultivation level by several levels.

Besides, 12 sword pills combined with the Great Sun Sword Intention were enough for Gu Mo to launch an attack at the level of Yuanying Sword Lord. With such combat power, he was definitely at the top of the food chain in the battle of geniuses. The ones who should be afraid were the geniuses of the Demon Sect.

……

"Disciple, don't be in a daze. Did you understand what the master said?" When Gu Mo's mind was focusing on the incarnation, Hou Chunyu's unpleasant voice came.

"I understand!" Gu Mo nodded quickly.

Because the decision on this battle of geniuses was rather sudden, in order to allow those geniuses who were in seclusion or out for training to get the news in time and participate, this battle of geniuses was given a year of preparation time.

"This year, you should put other things aside for the time being and go out with that little girl Ding Shiyan to participate in a few training battles to familiarize yourself with the environment. When the Tianjiao battle comes, you should follow her. She is one of the rare spiritual plant masters in our Shennong Valley who also practices swordsmanship, so you don't have to worry about her combat power." Hou Chunyu continued.

Gu Mo was not the only one who received the invitation letter in Shennong Valley. Ding Shiyan was also on the list, and her ranking was much higher than Gu Mo's.

"Master, that's not necessary." Gu Mo is currently busy with the affairs of the cave. Now that the situation in the cave has stabilized, Gu Mo will prepare to plant plants next.

"I've already made an appointment for you, you must go." Hou Chunyu glared at Gu Mo, not giving him any chance to refuse.

"That's fine."

Gu Mo was helpless. He thought that it wouldn't take much time to go out for training. There were puppets in the cave anyway, so he didn't need to keep an eye on them all the time.

"Don't worry, within this year, neither side will attack the geniuses on the list. This is also one of the rules of the Pride Battle." Hou Chunyu comforted.

In this situation, if assassinations are launched against the geniuses of both sides, then this battle of geniuses might as well be changed into a battle of assassinations.

Finally, Hou Chunyu left. Although this great master was a bit nagging, Gu Mo could feel his concern for him personally. So, in order not to make the great master worry, Gu Mo could only participate in a few trials.

Shennong Valley, Mission Hall.

"Junior Brother Gu Mo, this way!"

As soon as Gu Mo arrived, he heard a familiar voice, and then a figure in green appeared. It was Ding Shiyan. At this moment, the other party was dressed as a sword cultivator.

"Senior Sister Ding!"

Gu Mo greeted with a smile, then followed Ding Shiyan to a small private room and saw another person, who was also an acquaintance, Du Jinpeng.

The other party is the master's mortal enemy, the disciple of Elder Gu, the Jindan disciple who cultivated the Roaring Ancient Tree at the last spiritual plant exhibition.

After the spiritual plant exhibition, this person naturally entered the list of geniuses. The list of geniuses is not static and will change every once in a while.

If a prodigy on the list breaks through and becomes a Yuanying Zhenjun, he will be removed from the list of prodigies. A strong person at the level of Yuanying Zhenjun, unless the Shenhua realm does not take action, is the backbone of the battle between good and evil.

Another purpose of this list of geniuses compiled by both the righteous and the evil sides is the assassination bounty list. There is still hope to assassinate a genius in the Jindan realm, but if the target is a Yuanying, it is absolutely impossible. If you really want to assassinate a Yuanying True Lord, the price to pay is also extremely terrifying.

Therefore, as long as the Tianjiao on the Tianjiao list breaks through and enters the Nascent Soul stage, they will be removed from the list. In addition, the rankings of some Tianjiao who have not been heard from for a long time will drop little by little until they are dropped from the list.

Gu Mo, Ding Shiyan and Du Jinpeng are the people from Shennong Valley who will participate in the Tianjiao Battle this time. Without exception, all three are not true disciples of Shennong Valley.

The true disciples of Shennong Valley have been practicing in the sect's secret realm all the time and seldom go out. It is difficult for the Demon Sect to collect information about them, so naturally these true disciples are not included in the list of geniuses.

Of course, this only applies to the true disciples of Shennong Valley who don't like to go out very much. As for the true disciples of the other two top sects, Yin-Yang Sword Sect and Taiqing Sect, they travel from time to time, so it is inevitable that information will be leaked.

The top few people on the list are the true disciples of Yin Yang Sword Sect and Taiqing Sect. These people are obviously the trump cards for the righteous side to win this battle of geniuses.

On the contrary, on the Demon Sect's side, because the righteous path's intelligence capabilities are slightly weaker, they don't know much about the true teachings of the three Demon Sects, resulting in fewer true teachings on the list.

It can be said that the Demon Sect suffered a loss this time due to its superior intelligence capabilities. However, the Demon Sect will definitely make up for it. Anyway, the rules of the battle of geniuses have not yet been determined.

After a year of tug-of-war, the good and evil sides should be able to find a rule that everyone is satisfied with. At this moment, Gu Mo hoped that the smart guy who came up with the idea of ​​the Tianjiao War would stop making trouble.

"Senior Brother Du!"

Seeing Du Jinpeng and Gu Mo bowing, although the master and the other master were sworn enemies, it was just a competition of paths, and there was no personal hatred. Gu Mo also had no hatred with the other party, and they were still teammates fighting together.

"Junior Brother Gu!"

Du Jinpeng stood up to return the greeting, with only admiration but no hatred in his eyes. The Sunlight Glazed Flower and the Torch Tree Stump, these two achievements were praised by not only Du Jinpeng but even his master.

"Okay, let's study the mission next."

As the team leader, Ding Shiyan began to preside over the next training mission.

Shennong Valley is a top-level sect and has many missions in the mission hall, but most of them are related to spiritual plants. However, this time the goal of Gu Mo and the other two is to gain practical experience, so what they need are actual combat missions.

But everyone knows that the disciples of Shennong Valley are not good at fighting, so there are very few combat missions assigned to Shennong Valley.

Therefore, the three of them felt a little embarrassed when holding their identity tokens, as there was really no suitable task.

"really!"

In response, Ding Shiyan seemed very calm, "Let's go to Yin Yang Sword Sect, there are many combat missions there."

My goodness, there are no missions for your own sect, but you go to someone else's sect to take missions. Are you sure you won't be kicked out?
"Don't worry, I have acquaintances in the Yin-Yang Sword Sect." Ding Shiyan gave Gu Mo and Du Jinpeng a reassuring look.

Just as Hou Chunyu said, the spies of the Demonic Path have completely retreated during this period and no longer carry out intelligence or assassination operations. Therefore, Gu Mo and the other two did not encounter any emergencies on their way to the Yin-Yang Sword Sect.

When the flying boat entered the sphere of influence of the Yin-Yang Sword Sect, Gu Mo keenly felt the two intertwined sword intents, which were the Yin-Yang sword intents.

The Yin-Yang sword intent comes from the two main peaks of Yin and Yang at the core of the Yin-Yang Sword Sect. It is said that these two peaks were transformed from two magic swords.

Once encountering danger, the Yin Yang Sword Sect can activate these two magic swords to kill the enemy, just like the 5th-level ancient tree in Shennong Valley. This is the foundation of the Yin Yang Sword Sect.

"Sister Ding!"

The three of them stopped outside the Yin-Yang Sword Sect's mountain protection formation. Then, a young girl ran over quickly and waved enthusiastically to Ding Shiyan.

"Yueyue, long time no see!" Ding Shiyan smiled and picked up the girl who was running towards her.

"Ming Yueyue, ranked 20th on the Tianjiao list, is no weaker than Senior Sister Ding in strength." Du Jinpeng sent a message to Gu Mo beside him.

Ding Shiyan is considered a top fighter in Shennong Valley, but naturally not strong in a top sword cultivation sect like Yin Yang Sword Sect. However, Ding Shiyan's advantage is that in addition to being a sword cultivator, she is also a spiritual plant master.

He is an all-round player who can be both a C and a healer.

"Sister Ding, Yueyue received your Sword Heart Bamboo. Look, this is the flying sword that Yueyue made using the Sword Heart Bamboo." The girl excitedly showed off her achievements.

"Not bad!"

Ding Shiyan's eyes swept towards Ming Yueyue's flying sword. With the same materials, the flying swords refined by the Yin-Yang Sword Sect were stronger than those made by other sects.

Because the Yin-Yang Sword Sect has a sword pool that can refine flying swords and improve their quality.

"Yueyue, these two are my fellow junior brothers. They are also going to participate in the Tianjiao battle this time. However, there is no combat mission in Shennong Valley. This time, I would like to ask Yueyue for help." After exchanging greetings with the girl, Ding Shiyan also stated the purpose of this trip.

"Meet the two junior brothers!"

Ming Yueyue greeted Gu Mo and Du Jinpeng. Although the girl was young, her realm was already in the late Jindan stage. In the world of immortal cultivation, unless one has the same master, seniority is ranked according to the level of cultivation.

Although Gu Mo and Du Jinpeng are both in the Jindan realm, one is at the 1st and 3rd level of Jindan respectively. Naturally, they cannot be compared with Ming Yueyue, who is already at the 7th level of Jindan.

"Sister Ding, leave it to Yueyue. Yueyue will also participate in the battle of geniuses. We will train together then." As she said that, the girl led everyone into the Yin-Yang Sword Sect.

Upon entering the Yin Yang Sword Sect's mountain protection formation, Gu Mo immediately felt the difference. Although they were both sword sects, the Dayan Sword Sect was indeed incomparable to top sects like the Yin Yang Sword Sect.

Apart from anything else, the faint sword intent that envelopes the entire sect can increase the speed at which disciples in the sect comprehend the sword intent.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Gu Mo looked up and his eyes swept towards the four words "Yin Yang Sword Sect" on the huge stone at the gate of Yin Yang Sword Sect. These four words were obviously carved by a powerful swordsman.

Moreover, the two words Yin and Yang contain the sword intent of Yin and Yang. Gu Mo did not feel deeply about the sword intent of the word Yin, but when he saw the word Yang, the Great Sun sword intent in his body could not help but be aroused.

Gu Mo's Great Sun Sword Intent was derived from the Extreme Yang Sword Intent in the Yin-Yang Sword Intent. Moreover, the Extreme Yang Sword Intent in the Yang was extremely powerful. Under his gaze, Gu Mo's Great Sun Sword Intent actually felt like it wanted to compete with the higher one.

"Buzz!"

Before Gu Mo could react, a big sun appeared in his pupils. Sensing Gu Mo's big sun sword intent, the word "Yang" also burst out with the ultimate Yang sword intent, and the sword intent even faintly turned into a big sun.

It is obvious that the Extreme Yang Sword Intention of this senior from the Yin-Yang Sword Sect who left behind the word "Yang" has already shown a tendency to evolve into the Great Sun Sword Intention.

The word "Yang" on the sect's boulder suddenly exploded, directly alarming the entire Yin-Yang Sword Sect. Although the word "Yang" quickly returned to calm, there were still several powerful auras appearing.

"Yueyue, do you know what happened just now?" A thin old man came to Ming Yueyue and asked, because at the moment, they were the only ones outside the mountain gate.

"No, I don't know!"

Ming Yueyue was also confused at this moment. What she comprehended was the Extreme Yin Sword Intent, and she did not notice the change in the Extreme Yang Sword Intent. The Extreme Yang Sword Intent with the word Yang burst out, and by the time she reacted, the elder of the sect had already appeared in front of her.

Seeing this, the thin elder of the Sword Sect turned his gaze to Gu Mo and the other two. After all, besides Ming Yueyue, there were only three of them here.

"Shiyan greets Elder Zhu!" Ding Shiyan bowed.

"Girl, you haven't been here for a long time." Elder Zhu obviously knew Ding Shiyan. After all, Ding Shiyan's talent in swordsmanship had once attracted Elder Zhu's attention. Elder Zhu even went to Shennong Valley to ask for Ding Shiyan to join the Yin-Yang Sword Sect.

However, Shennong Valley would not let Ding Shiyan go because she was also an extraordinary spiritual plant master. In addition, Ding Shiyan did not want to leave, so the matter was left unresolved.
