Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 236 Nut Array

Gu Mo's incarnation stared at the black-clothed young man in the sky, and the 12 sword pills in his body quickly formed the Twelve Sword Killers of Dutian. At the same time, the 12 bamboo swords also formed another Twelve Sword Killers of Dutian around Gu Mo.

Then a ray of immortal power was ignited, causing the aura of Gu Mo's incarnation to soar.

"You actually used the power of immortality!"

The young man in black felt the sudden surge of aura from Gu Mo's incarnation and his expression lit up with joy. Everyone knew that this Lin Wu had condensed the Immortal Golden Elixir.

That was almost a ticket to enter the Nascent Soul realm. Now the Lin Wu in front of him actually used up this precious ticket directly, which would greatly increase the difficulty of his advancement to the Nascent Soul realm in the future.

How could the young man in black not be happy about such a self-destructive act?

"what!"

The black-clothed young man did not conceal his words in any way, so those who were nearby from the righteous sect and those who came with him from the evil sect also heard them.

In the end, everyone in the outside world also knew that Lin Wu had used his immortal power.

In fact, Gu Mo had used the power of immortality several times before, but there were not so many people nearby at that time, and it was difficult for cultivators who had not condensed the immortal golden elixir to perceive the power of immortality. People outside were watching through the water curtain, but the water curtain had no effect of transmitting breath.

Therefore, everyone had no idea that Gu Mo had used the immortal power before. This time, Gu Mo used the immortal power in front of a Nascent Soul Demon Lord, so naturally he could not hide it from the other party.

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing the news, everyone in the outside world sighed, feeling sorry for the loss of a top genius. Without the power of immortality, the difficulty of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage would increase significantly. If he was unlucky and never seized the opportunity to break through, he might be stuck in the Golden Core stage for the rest of his life.

"Not bad!"

In comparison, the Demon Sect seemed very happy because Lin Wu had used up important immortal power and the threat level could be reduced by one level.

Of course, it would be best to kill it on the spot, and then the threat level would be reduced to zero.

"Great Sun Golden Crow Sword!"

When the power accumulated to the peak, Gu Mo swung the sword without hesitation. In an instant, the blazing sword light transformed from the Golden Crow, with dazzling brilliance, pierced the rolling blood cloud like a sharp arrow.

"Bah!"

The blazing sword light of the Sun pierced into the blood cloud, making a sound like tearing cloth, and then a big hole was torn in the rolling blood cloud.

But Gu Mo's expression did not show joy. Instead, he looked solemn, because his sword failed to completely tear the blood cloud apart, which meant that even if he used all his strength, he could not break the opponent's defense.

"Hahahaha!"

Looking at the blood cloud that was almost torn apart, the black-clothed young man who had already advanced to the Nascent Soul Demon Lord suddenly lost his nervousness and laughed heartily. He finally saw the upper limit of this Lin Wu, and then it was time to hunt him.

Knowing that he was no match for the opponent, Gu Mo no longer hesitated and used the Wind Escape to quickly move away. Since he couldn't win, he would just leave. Gu Mo would not be stupid enough to fight to the death with the opponent.

But the young man in black obviously would not let Gu Mo escape so easily. He simply ignored the other true teachings of the righteous path. The young man in black turned into a beam of blood light and chased in the direction where Gu Mo's incarnation disappeared.

After Gu Mo's incarnation and the black-clothed young man in the Nascent Soul stage disappeared, only the true teachings of the righteous and evil sides were left at the scene. Without any nonsense, the two sides started fighting directly.

"Could this be the Blood Demon Sect's blood escape method?" Gu Mo frowned slightly as he felt the blood light approaching rapidly from behind him. He couldn't get rid of the opponent at this moment.

It takes some time to activate the identity token and leave, so Gu Mo can only leave safely by keeping a long enough distance.

It’s just that the opponent’s realm is higher than Gu Mo’s incarnation, and the opponent’s blood escape is not weaker than Gu Mo’s wind escape at all. Gu Mo’s wind escape has been cultivated to the highest level and is not far from perfection.

However, the other party's cultivation was a whole realm higher than Gu Mo's. Due to the absolute gap in strength, the gap in attainment in escape techniques was easily narrowed.

Since the speed alone can't increase the distance, then...

Gu Mo's incarnation glanced at the woods below and quickly went in. Then Gu Mo's incarnation used the wood escape technique and hid directly in a tree.

"Huh? Disappeared?"

The young man in black came to the place where Gu Mo disappeared, and his Nascent Soul Realm spiritual consciousness spread out wantonly, but found nothing. If Wood Release could be discovered so easily, it would not be worthy of being a top-level magical power.

Even if Gu Mo only used the basics of Wood Release, the young man in black would not be able to detect it.

"Humph, you think you can get away with this? How naive!"

The young man in black naturally knew that although Lin Wu was a swordsman, he also knew the wood escape technique. It was with the help of this wood escape technique that the other party was able to obtain the jade treasure chest.

But unless it is the real Wood Release, there is a way to break the opponent's half-baked Wood Release.

The solution that the young man in black thought of was to destroy the forest directly. As long as the forest where the target was hiding was completely destroyed, there would be nowhere for the target to hide.

It has to be said that although the black-clothed young man's move was simple and crude, he really took advantage of Gu Mo's Wood Release's weakness, and Gu Mo had no choice but to continue to flee far away.

Afterwards, whenever the opponent was about to catch up, Gu Mo would use Wood Release to dodge, and when the opponent started to destroy the forest, Gu Mo would continue to escape.

For a moment, the young man in black could not do anything to Gu Mo. After all, who would a sword cultivator who practices so many escape techniques? Shouldn't a sword cultivator be fearless and never give up?

Although he couldn't catch the target in a short time, the young man in black was not in a hurry. His cultivation level was higher, which gave him an absolute advantage over the consumption.

If you reveal your flaws due to your anxiety and let your target escape, this is a real taboo.

The young man in black was not in a hurry, and Gu Mo was even less anxious. However, it was not a good idea to keep running away like this, so Gu Mo's incarnation took out the secret method to disintegrate the demon.

Of course, the incarnation still had to run away, so the task of comprehending this forbidden magic technique was naturally left to the original body. The incarnation and the original body were connected in consciousness, and when the incarnation's consciousness read the inheritance jade slip, it was equivalent to the original body also reading it.

However, on Gu Mo's side, the environment did not seem to be too stable. As time passed, the geniuses of the Demon Sect outside the formation had begun to get eager to try and were ready to take action.

As for the geniuses of the righteous path, they were hesitant. After all, the defending side now were the geniuses of Shennong Valley, and if they took action, wouldn't they be helping the Demon Sect?

But the righteous geniuses are not too willing to take action to stop it now. Instead, they hope that the geniuses of the evil sect can occupy the formation as soon as possible, so that they can take action naturally.

Thus, a situation was formed where the geniuses of the righteous sect watched from afar, while the geniuses of the evil sect began to attack the formation.

"No, the formation can't hold out for much longer." Ding Shiyan and Du Jinpeng continued to inject spiritual power into the formation, hoping that it would last a little longer.

But at this moment, there are dozens of geniuses from the Demon Sect who have taken action. The spiritual power injected by Ding Shiyan and Du Jinpeng is simply a drop in the bucket. It can be said that the geniuses from the Demon Sect have basically gathered here. The jade treasure chest in another place is not something they can participate in. Only here there is some hope, so the geniuses from both the righteous and the evil sides have gathered here.

"Senior Sister Ding, Senior Brother Du, come over here."

Seeing that the formation could not last long, Gu Mo waved to the two of them. At the same time, a faint light curtain covered a small area near the jade treasure chest.

This is the nut array formed by the nuts that Gu Mo had buried when he dug the pit before. To set up this nut array, Gu Mo used third-grade top-quality nuts, including the fourth-grade nut Xiaodai.

The nut array can be controlled by the intelligent Xiaodai, which can improve the defense efficiency of the nut array to a higher level, combined with the earth energy gathered from the jade treasure chest.

Not to mention those righteous and evil geniuses in the Jindan realm, even the Yuanying Demon Lord who was chasing his incarnation could not break this nut formation. Therefore, if Gu Mo's incarnation was in a critical situation, there was one last way out, which was to hide in the nut formation arranged by Gu Mo himself.

Of course, this is the last resort, and Gu Mo doesn't want to be too high-profile.

"it is good!"

Seeing that Gu Mo had set up a formation, Ding Shiyan and Du Jinpeng decided to give it a try. Having a formation was better than having nothing, and facing so many geniuses of the Demon Sect head-on.

"boom!"

When Ding Shiyan and Du Jinpeng entered the nut array, the large array formed by the jade treasure chest also dissipated due to the exhaustion of spiritual power.

Immediately, those geniuses of the Demon Sect rushed over with murderous intent, intending to kill Gu Mo and the other two on the spot.

This scene made the master of Shennong Valley extremely anxious. There were only five people from Shennong Valley participating this time, and three of them were going to be killed.

Especially Gu Mo, who has the potential to be a true disciple. If something happens to him, how can he explain to Elder Hou and Elder Qi? Especially Elder Qi, who is his only disciple.

However, the rules of the battle between geniuses are like this, and no matter how anxious the master of Shennong Valley is, he cannot intervene.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Gu Mo looked at Ding Shiyan and Du Jinpeng, who were both determined, and smiled to comfort them. Then, Gu Mo closed his eyes and continued to comprehend the method of disintegrating the demon.

"You are too..."

Seeing Gu Mo being so bold, Du Jinpeng couldn't help but be speechless. However, if Gu Mo could be so calm in the face of danger, he couldn't be outdone.

Immediately, Du Jinpeng suppressed the fear in his heart and prepared to fight with all his strength. Even if he died, he would take a few people with him.

"Bang bang bang!"

Soon, the attacks of those geniuses of the Demon Sect came, but they were all blocked by the light curtain formed by the Nut Array. Seeing this, those geniuses of the Demon Sect were stunned.

Even with so many of them working together, they were unable to break this small defensive formation.

"Come again!"

There was a genius of the Demon Sect who refused to believe in evil. He mobilized the demonic energy in his body and then blasted towards the light curtain of the formation, but the light curtain only rippled slightly before returning to calm.

"Can you do it?"

Seeing this, some of the Demon Sect's geniuses started to make a fuss.

"You come!"

Hearing this, the genius of the Demon Sect who had just taken action said with a cold face.

“Hey, just watch and see how I tear this broken formation apart.” The genius of the Demon Sect came from the Blood Demon Sect. As a genius of a top sect, he was obviously very confident.

"Break it for me!"

The Blood Demon Sect's genius was seen with the blood evil power in his body surrounding his fist. Then, he punched out, hitting the light curtain heavily, causing ripples that were slightly larger than the one caused by the previous genius of the Demon Sect.

"It's nothing more than that."

Seeing this, the genius of the Demon Sect would naturally not miss the opportunity to retort.

"This is impossible!"

The Blood Demon Sect's Tianjiao said solemnly. Although he was not a true disciple of the sect, he was also an inner disciple ranked high among the true disciples. How could he not be able to break a small defensive formation?

This formation doesn't look very sophisticated, so how could it be unbreakable?

"Huh? What are those people doing?"

Gu Mo's incarnation and the young man in black were chasing each other on the island. It was difficult to determine the outcome in a short period of time, so everyone turned their attention to another jade treasure chest.

Then everyone saw a strange scene. A group of Demon Sect geniuses surrounded the three geniuses from Shennong Valley and kept attacking them, but their attacks did not hurt the three geniuses from Shennong Valley at all, because those attacks seemed to be blocked by a curtain of light.

"Is the formation of this jade treasure chest so powerful?" Everyone was shocked. If the formation of the jade treasure chest was so powerful, why would people still fight for it?

"This is not the formation of the jade treasure chest, but the one set up by the genius of Shennong Valley." said a cultivator who had been paying attention to the situation here.

"what!"

Hearing this, many people felt incredible, especially as they observed, they had a new sense of the strength of the formation.

So many geniuses from the Demon Sect tried their best but they were unable to break this formation. Could this be a 4th level formation? Only a 4th level formation could withstand the joint attack of so many demon cultivators in the late Jindan stage or even the Great Perfection stage?

Being able to set up a 4th-level formation means that Shennong Valley has a formation master, and he can set up a 4th-level formation at the Jindan realm. Such strength is not weaker than those of the true disciples.

"How would I know what level of formation it is? It's just that Gu Mo from Shennong Valley buried a few things that looked like nuts as tall as a person, and the formation light curtain appeared." This is also the point that everyone is most confused about.

"Could that be some new species of spiritual plant?" Thinking of Gu Mo's previous performance, everyone began to speculate.

"It's too powerful to be able to block so many demon sect geniuses."

"Speaking of which, Gu Mo is not the true disciple of Shennong Valley. Is there any other secret?"

……

The master of Shennong Valley, listening to the discussions around him, twitched his face slightly. He had already decided to promote Gu Mo to the true teaching position as soon as he returned, otherwise, outsiders would question the vision of Shennong Valley.

“What a magical spiritual plant!”

In the sky, Venerable Qing looked at the nut array set up by Gu Mo with surprise in his eyes. Venerable Qing was the Venerable of the Shennong Valley.

It was just that in this battle of geniuses, the disciples of Shennong Valley performed mediocrely, which made her a little uninterested, but Gu Mo brought her a big surprise.

That nut-shaped spiritual plant, combined with the defensive formation, could actually have such an amazing effect.

Moreover, that little fellow was only in the early stage of Golden Core, yet he actually cultivated a 4th-order spiritual plant. This was truly astonishing. With such talent and strength, he was not much weaker than Lin Wu of Dayan Sword Sect.

"Humph!"

On the other side, the Wanxue Demon Lord glanced at his own disciple who was still chasing after Dayan Sword Sect's Lin Wu, and he was a little displeased. It had been so long, and he still hadn't captured the person. This was really embarrassing.
