Chapter 997 Fang Tian Huaying

Qianxue state boundary, a place of sects.

Since a month ago, the whole state boundary has been decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there are a lot of traffic and a prosperous scene.

Spiritual horses are like long dragons, precious beasts pull carts, canopies are everywhere, and sedan chairs are like clouds.

Huge cloud ferries that swallow clouds and exhale mist, riding on the wind veins, come from afar and dock at the ferry in Qianxue state boundary.

On the cloud ferry, monks get off the boat one after another, look up at the sky, and marvel at the Qianxue scenery in front of them, with mountains and rivers, sects standing in rows, and a flourishing atmosphere of learning.

Densely packed monks, along different roads, gathered in Qianxue state boundary, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, with a vast momentum.

Monks from different states, different forces, and different identities, whether studying, traveling, seeking the truth and visiting friends, or broadening their horizons, all gathered here to attend this Qianxue sword-fighting event and see the style of the Nine Provinces Tianjiao.

Because of the large number of cultivators, the Qianxuezhou boundary even made an exception and lifted the "no-fly" restriction.

Above the white sky, there are occasionally cloud boats flying across, spirit boats shuttling, with gorgeous tail clouds, and mooring at the residences of various sects and families.

From time to time, there are even immortals who turn their spiritual power into feathers, ride on clouds and fly alone in the sky, with a graceful posture, like a banished immortal.

The Yuhua realm is a high-level cultivator.

In some small and medium-sized states, it is rare to see it for hundreds of years.

Some cultivators have never seen the face of the real person in their entire lives.

But now in the Qianxuezhou boundary, just by looking up, you can see the Yuhua ascending to the sky and flying across the sky, which really shocked many cultivators.

They came from small and medium-sized states and boasted that they had extraordinary knowledge, but when they stepped into the Qianxuezhou boundary and saw the surrounding scenes, they actually felt extraordinary and "ascended" to the fairyland for a while.

The Lundao Mountain, located in the center of the entire Qianxuezhou, is the focus of this event.

At this time, the front of Lundao Mountain was packed with people.

Disciples from various sects gathered here in their respective Taoist robes.

Looking down from above, the Tianjiao disciples were all over the mountains, like mountains and seas, but their Taoist robes were all connected together, like a huge, colorful, but orderly and beautiful silk.

The Taixu Sect's team was also among them.

Elder Xun Zixian, who was dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, stood straight, gentle and elegant, and stood at the front of the team.

At this time, he slowly said to the disciples of Taixu Sect:

"The sword fight will begin in three days. Before that, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the venue and tell you the specific rules."

The disciples looked solemn and a little nervous, and bowed their hands and said, "Yes."

Elder Xun Zixian looked to the right and saw Mo Hua, who was wearing a Taixu Taoist robe and was handsome and unworldly, following him obediently, and nodded slightly.

This is the order of the ancestor.

When Mo Hua goes out, whichever elder he follows must ensure his safety.

There are many cultivators in the sword fight, and they are mixed.

Although it is reasonable that no one dares to make trouble, just in case, we still have to keep an eye on Mo Hua.

Xun Zixian glanced at Mo Hua again, and then turned his head and said, "Follow me."

Then Xun Zixian took the lead and led the disciples of Taixu Sect along the mountain path, one by one into the Dao Fighting Mountain.

The Dao Fighting Mountain was full of disciples from various sects at this time, and there were crowds of people.

This is the inner field of the sword fighting.

The mountains are vast and the terrain is intricate.

There are rows of sword fighting venues with different terrains.

The light of the fifth-grade formation in the sky condenses into a barrier, magnificent and vast.

As everyone walked and watched, they couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.

They had only seen the sword fighting mountain in the "audience seats" before, and had never entered the inner field and felt this grand and solemn atmosphere.

They didn't need to go on the field in person before, so the feeling was naturally different.

Xun Zixian explained to his disciples as he walked:

"The sword-fighting arena is in front of us. Three days later, you will draw lots and arrange your matches. Then, you will compete with other disciples of the sect in this arena based on your cultivation and Taoism..."

"After nine years of practice, you only have this chance to fight with other disciples."

"The sword-fighting competition system is divided into four levels according to the 'Heaven and Earth'."

"The first ones you participated in were all 'Huang' games."

"Every time you win a game, you accumulate a victory and also accumulate a victory point for the sect. When you win a certain number of games, you will be promoted to the 'Xuan' game."

"You don't have to win all the games to advance. There is still room for error, but don't lose too much."

"Overall, it mainly depends on strength, and also on luck."

His voice was gentle, but with the help of spiritual power amplification, it still reached the ears of thousands of disciples.

Xun Zixian paused and explained:

"There are many types of battle situations..."

"The 'Huang' battle situation is the basic battle situation, which is used for preliminary selection. The situation is relatively simple, and most of them are straightforward 'decisive battles'."

"If you defeat all five enemy disciples within a certain period of time, you will win. Or, when the time is up, the side with more disciples present will win."

"When it comes to the 'Xuan' battle situation, the rules are different, and the battle situation will be more complicated, and it will no longer be a simple fight."

"It includes both the basic 'decisive battle' and the 'survival battle', 'monster hunting battle', 'beheading battle', 'city defense battle', 'city siege battle', etc..."

"The tactics are ever-changing, and the conditions for winning are also different. If you want to win, the difficulty is also higher..."

...

Xun Zixian explained patiently.

"Elder Zixian," Mo Hua asked curiously, "these competition systems are similar to the battles between Taoist soldiers."

Xun Zixian nodded, "This is a sword-fighting competition system modeled after the battles of Taoist soldiers."

The fighting between monks is no more thrilling, complex, ever-changing, and can sharpen one's character than the battles of Taoist soldiers.

Of course, this is just a small-scale "sword-fighting" of five people, which is different from the real large-scale killing of thousands of Taoist soldiers.

However, the sparrow is small but has all the organs.

In terms of form, it is indeed carved out of the same bone.

"The ancestors of Lundao Mountain specially set these rules and passed them down, which is also meaningful."

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace and prevent disasters before they happen."

"Born in a peaceful year, I will not forget the disaster of the war of cultivation that has caused great suffering to the people..."

Xun Zixian sighed lightly.

Mo Hua nodded silently.

Then Xun Zixian led everyone to continue moving forward.

Walking to a mountain top, Xun Zixian pointed to the light curtain above his head, which was bright and dazzling, rippling in the void, and as translucent as glass, and said:

"This is the fifth-grade Lundao Mountain Grand Array."

"It is a fifth-grade grand array that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth and contains the power of the void!"

All the disciples looked up, sensing the terrifying power of the array that was rippling in the void, and were all shocked and speechless.

Fifth-grade... Grand array...

Mo Hua was shocked and his heart was surging.

"I don't know if I will be able to build a fifth-grade cave-empty level grand array one day..."

When Mo Hua thought of the day when he could understand the theory of the void array and build a fifth-grade cave-empty grand array, he was a little shaken and his mind was not focused.

Xun Zixian looked at Mo Hua's longing eyes and couldn't help but smile gently.

Once upon a time, when he was young and seeking the Tao, when he first saw this Lundao Mountain Grand Array, he was also like Mo Hua, full of shock and longing.

Although the fifth-grade formation is too far away, he has never touched the edge of it in his cultivation.

But it is a good thing to have this vision.

Xun Zixian turned around and asked, "Do you know what the fifth-grade formation of Lundao Mountain is used for?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Many of them just watched the excitement of the sword discussion and never studied it in depth.

Mo Hua, who had done some research before, replied: "It is to use the power of the void to protect the disciples."

Xun Zixian nodded, "The Lun Dao Mountain formation is not a killing formation, a trapping formation, or an ordinary defensive formation."

"This formation was designed by the ancestors of Lun Dao Mountain specifically for the sword-fighting competition."

"Use the power of the void of the formation to protect the disciples who are fighting..."

"Three days later, when you fight, each of you will be given a 'Lun Dao Jade', which is shaped like a water drop and delicate like a pendant, and will be worn on the forehead."

"This Lun Dao Jade is connected to the power of the Lun Dao Mountain formation, and will form a void cover to bear the damage you suffer during the sword-fighting competition."

"This The Dao Jade is equivalent to your ‘life’. ”

“Before the sword fight, several elders will fairly and impartially evaluate your ‘injury’ quota based on your blood, flesh, and spiritual power.”

“This quota is the ‘blood volume’ of your Dao Jade.”

“During the battle, once you are fatally injured, your ‘blood volume’ is emptied, and the Dao Jade is broken, which means that the sword fight has been lost.”

“The formation will be activated, and you will be forcibly sent out of the sword fight venue by the power of the void.”

“This will ensure that the disciples can try their best and give it a go when participating in the sword fight, without having to worry about really killing or being killed...”

Xun Zixian said slowly.

This is a sword fight, not murder, nor is it raising poison.

Every disciple participating in the sword fight is a direct descendant of a noble family and a talent of the sect. It is impossible to really let them “fight for their lives”.

Otherwise, the disciples who have been trained with great effort will be killed and injured in a sword fight.

Not only the noble family disagrees, but the sect itself will also spit blood.

Those true prodigies are gifted with natural talents. If they die or become disabled because of a sword fight, no one can afford to pay for it.

Xun Zixian looked up at the sky and said with some emotion:

"There are only a few such top-level five-grade void formations in the entire cultivation world."

"Without this void formation, the prodigies can be protected and allowed to fight without any worries. It would be difficult to hold a sword fight..."

"Because of this, only the Qianxuezhou Realm can hold this unique "sword fight" conference, attracting talents from all over the world to gather together, allowing cultivators from all over the nine states to come and watch the ceremony, so that there is a grand event like today..."

The eyes of the disciples were bright, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

After talking about the formation, Xun Zixian led everyone forward again. While getting familiar with the venue, he took the opportunity to add some specific rules:

"There are also strict restrictions on the items you can bring to participate in the sword debate."

No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!

"Spirit stones are fixed, you can't bring too much."

"A number of pills, you can choose them yourself."

"Both of these are provided by Lun Dao Mountain, and you can't bring them privately. Especially the pills..."

Xun Zixian added, "Before, there was a disciple who secretly took a banned pill in the sword debate in order to get a good ranking, and almost exploded and died, causing a lot of trouble, so from then on, it is forbidden to bring pills privately..."

Behind every outrageous rule, there is an outrageous case.

"Talismans cannot be brought by yourself, Lun Dao Mountain will also provide them. Each disciple is limited to one high-level second-grade talisman."

"You can bring your own spiritual tools, which are also limited to high-level second-grade."

After all, spiritual weapons are quite special. Most disciples will even nurture them into life-saving magic weapons.

The compatibility with spiritual weapons is also a part of the strength of the cultivator.

Therefore, disciples are allowed to bring their own spiritual weapons.

"But the number and type of spiritual weapons will be limited. You can only bring one of each of armor, weapons, accessories and other spiritual weapons."

"Then, there are formations. Formations are also limited. Each person can only bring one set, and it is limited to the second-grade middle level..."

Mo Hua almost thought he had heard it wrong, "Second-grade middle level?"

Xun Zixian nodded, "Middle level."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "Pellets, spiritual weapons, and talismans are all limited to the second-grade high level, why can only the formation be used in the middle level?"

Xun Zixian said: "Because the general disciples in the late stage of foundation building can only draw the second-grade middle level formation at most..."

Mo Hua was stunned.

Xun Zixian said: "This is determined according to general circumstances..."

"General foundation-building cultivators cannot draw a high-level second-grade formation at all. This is considered an ability beyond the 'standard', so it must be restricted."

"Moreover, the power of the high-level second-grade formation is too great. Whether it is for attack and defense or for trapping the enemy, the effect is too strong. If the disciples are allowed to use it, all tactics will inevitably revolve around the 'formation', which is contrary to the original intention of the sword debate."

"The sword debate conference should still focus on 'fighting', and other things should be supplemented."

Mo Hua was a little dumbfounded.

He realized that he was "held back" by the geniuses of Qianxuezhou.

In Qianxuezhou, the backward formation level of the majority of Tianjiao disciples limited the performance of his formation.

Mo Hua had never noticed this kind of detailed rule before.

No one told him.

Because the difficulty of this formation has always been "default".

But Mo Hua is different from everyone else. His formation level is too high. His "default" basic formation has always been a "high-level" formation.

Even high-level formations are just ordinary in his eyes.

He never expected that the formations allocated for the sword-fighting conference could only be "second-grade intermediate"...

Mo Hua sighed.

The rules were set by others, and he had no choice.

And thinking about it carefully, this is indeed very reasonable.

But without the formation, he would lose a lot of "trump cards".

Mo Hua frowned and thought for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and asked again:

"Elder Zixian, in addition to these, is there anything else I can bring?"

Xun Zixian said: "That's basically it. In addition, there will be some sundries in the storage bag to simulate real combat situations."

Mo Hua suddenly had an idea and whispered: "In those sundries..."

Xun Zixian saw through his thoughts at a glance and nodded: "Yes."

Mo Hua immediately became happy again.

Xun Zixian smiled lightly and shook his head.

After that, the group continued to move forward in a mighty manner.

As Mo Hua walked, he considered the limitations of the "second-grade intermediate" formation.

Will this limitation have an impact on his own tactics?

Especially, it involves the tactics of other disciples of Taixu Sect.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Hua found that there was indeed an impact, but it was not that great, just a little weaker, and generally still universal.

And it was not yet time for the real sword fight, so there was still time for temporary adjustments.

Mo Hua was relieved.

As they walked, the group quickly reached the end of Lundao Mountain, and outside was the "viewing ceremony" seat.

At this time, there was a huge, strange "white cloth" across the sky.

The disciples were all surprised.

Mo Hua was also a little puzzled, so he pointed at the "white cloth" and asked: "Elder Zixian, what is that?"

"That's a spiritual weapon."

"Spiritual weapon?" Mo Hua was stunned.

Xun Zixian said: "That is a giant 'developing spiritual device' specially cast by the four major sects for this sword fight."

"In appearance, it is a huge painting screen."

"When the sword fight is going on, it will clearly show the images of the disciples fighting on the sword, for the disciples of Qianxue and the various families and sects in Jiuzhou to watch."

"This spiritual device is very expensive, and it is called..." Xun Zixian said slowly:

"Fang Tian Huaying!"

Fang Tian Huaying...

All the disciples looked up and looked at the huge painting screen covering half of the mountain. Thinking that it would show the grand scene of thousands of disciples fighting on the sword, they were shocked.

Mo Hua was also shocked, and his scalp was numb.

He was speechless.

Originally, his plan was to "make a fortune in silence" and hide those shady means.

When the melee started, he could do some small tricks secretly, and no one would notice it.

But he never expected that the sword fight conference would actually have such a big Fang Tian Huaying for "projection".

How can he hide his trump card on such a big screen?

By then, even the color of his underwear will be clearly seen by others?

Moreover, such a big "Fang Tian Huaying" is not cheap at first glance.

Mo Hua couldn't help but complain in his heart.

I don't know which of the four major sects is so bored that he spent so much money to build such a big thing...

This is more targeted at him than the "second-grade intermediate" formation restriction.

Of course, it is also possible that the four major sects built such a large Fang Tian Huaying simply to facilitate the audience to "watch the ceremony".

But Mo Hua was still very depressed.

Even after visiting the sword-fighting venue, returning to Taixu Gate, and sitting at the disciple table, Mo Hua still frowned.

Nothing else to say, but this Fang Tian Huaying is too much of a nemesis for him...

He doesn't want to be a "conspicuous bag".

But it has been built, and he can't sneak over to blow it up.

What's more, this Fang Tian Huaying looks very high-grade, so even if he blows it up, he may not be able to blow it up.

"Forget it..."

Mo Hua sighed.

At this point, he can only think of a way to hide himself a little deeper.

Not revealing his true background, keeping a low profile, "playing the pig to eat the tiger", the longer he hides, the deeper he hides, the better...

"This has to be planned carefully..."

Mo Hua took out the original plan again and re-planned it.

How to move step by step, concealing his own strength, and winning step by step, without revealing his own trump card, and go further step by step...

This is extremely difficult.

However, the general idea has become clearer under Mo Hua's planning.
