Asking about longevity

At this moment, further up Mount Lunda, a peak and a tower stood tall, piercing the clouds like two swords pointing to the sky, facing each other from afar before the majestic Mount Lunda.

This peak is named Suspension Peak.

This tower is named Sword Observation Tower.

Suspension Peak is the highest peak of Mount Lunda, possessing the momentum to "reach the summit and overlook everything." It is the venue for the final decisive battle of the Sword Debate Assembly, the "Heaven"-character Sword Debate.

The elite Heaven's Pride who successfully advanced through the fierce battles of the Earth-character Sword Debate will gather at the summit of Suspension Peak to engage in the ultimate final with the true Heaven's Chosen, to determine the winner.

To win the highest honor for their sects.

And to forge a more brilliant path for themselves.

Opposite Suspension Peak stands a tall tower, steep as a sword, reaching into the clouds, ancient and magnificent.

This is the Sword Observation Tower.

It is the highest viewing point for the Qianxue Sword Debate.

Outside the Sword Observation Tower, there are hidden formations, and the tower itself is engraved with various high-level cloud and mist formations, making the tower hidden and integrated into the clouds.

Ordinary people simply cannot see the Sword Observation Tower.

Even most cultivators do not know of the existence of this Sword Observation Tower on Mount Lunda.

This towering Sword Observation Tower is for some truly respected and distinguished "honored guests" to watch the Qianxue Sword Debate.

From above the tall tower, between the clouds, looking down from a high position, one can see the vast Sky Canvas Shadow.

As well as the dense, ant-like cultivators.

Those who can enter this tower are truly either powerful or noble.

Leaders of some powerful cultivation forces in the Nine Provinces.

Then, there are the core direct descendants from some truly ancient great families in Dao Province.

Ascension Realm Inspectors of the Daoting Court, and Directors of the Demon Suppression Division.

As well as Supervisors from the power center of the Seven Pavilions, or even Grand Secretaries, elusive figures who are rarely seen.

These are all figures that ordinary cultivators cannot come into contact with in their entire lives.

The interior of the Sword Observation Tower is also strictly hierarchical and divided into levels.

Even if they are all honored guests, they are divided into different grades.

Each person can only occupy a height that matches their status.

Moreover, all the rooms in the Sword Observation Tower are sealed, with special fifth-grade Void Teleportation Formations inside. No one knows who enters or leaves the tower.

People outside cannot see the Sword Observation Tower at all. They also do not know who these distinguished people high in the clouds are.

Even the honored guests who can ascend to the Sword Observation Tower are limited to their own room.

They also do not know who else is watching the battle in the entire Sword Observation Tower at this moment.

Perhaps, above their heads, there is a descendant of an ancient family.

A Great Elder from a sixth-grade aristocratic family.

A Supervisor from the Seven Pavilions, or even a Grand Secretary with overwhelming power.

It is even possible that a member of the Daoting Heavenly Son's family has come to watch the battle... ...

Of course, it is also possible that no one is there.

These truly distinguished people, close to the pinnacle of power in the Nine Provinces, may not all come to watch the Sword Debate.

Even if they come, they may not have the time to watch every Sword Debate.

After all, it has not yet reached the Heaven-character Sword Debate, and the truly exciting final decisive battle has not yet begun.

At this moment, in the middle of the Sword Observation Tower.

The sect leaders of the Three Mountains of Tai'a, Chongxu, and Taixu were rarely gathered together, drinking tea and watching the battle.

The Sword Debate Assembly is related to the sect rankings, the allocation of the Qianlong Spirit Mine, and the reform of the sect. As sect leaders, it is impossible for them not to care.

Previously, they did not come to watch every match.

Mostly, they came sporadically, one person today, two people tomorrow, and sometimes even no one came.

After all, sect leaders are also very busy.

But now that the Sword Debate has reached this point, they are really a little worried.

Fifth place in the Sword Debate.

This ranking is very subtle.

One step further, it is the Four Great Sects.

Maintaining the status quo is also the first of the Eight Great Gates.

But as long as you take a small step back, the Four Great Sects and the first of the Eight Great Gates will be gone.

Moreover, the current situation of the Sword Debate is severe, no different from sailing against the current. Once you retreat, it will be really difficult to rise again.

In their position, they seek its governance.

They are all sect leaders, and have been sect leaders for many years. They know better than anyone the weight of this sect ranking.

The sect leader of the Four Great Sects.

The sect leader of the first of the Eight Great Gates.

The sect leader of the ordinary Eight Great Gates.

The difference between these is really too great.

Moreover, these three choices are almost all "one step away."

One step further, then the Four Great Sects.

One steady step, then the first of the Eight Great Gates.

One step back, then the ordinary Eight Great Gates.

Almost every step is a "world of difference."

Faced with this situation, this opportunity of immense wealth and glory on the line, even immortals cannot remain calm.

The three of them are sect leaders, and their composure is not shallow. They do not reveal any expression on their faces.

But in their hearts, they are all suffering from the gains and losses of this one-step difference, and they have been unable to sleep for many nights.

But now, they cannot help in any way.

Everything can only rely on these children to fight for themselves.

Whatever they fight for, they can only accept it.

Even if they lose, they cannot blame these disciples.

Because these children have already done their best, they have already done very well, even much better than they had expected... ...

But having said that, they still desperately desire that Taixu Gate can win.

They don't say anything, and they don't dare to put pressure on Mo Hua and the others.

But in their hearts, they really desire more than anyone else that Mo Hua and the others can win.

No matter what the method, as long as they can win, that's good.

Winning means that they may be able to maintain their current position, or even possibly sit in fifth place and look forward to fourth, taking it a step further.

Every victory is as precious as a treasure.

But if they lose again, everything will be gone.

The room was quiet, and the tea was fragrant.

The three mountain sect leaders calmly drank tea.

But no matter how calm they are on the surface, the more tormented they are in their hearts.

Even more nervous than all the watching cultivators.

After drinking tea for a while, the Tai'a sect leader finally couldn't bear it anymore, coughed, and slowly asked:

"This game... ...should... ...be able to win, right?"

As soon as he asked this question, the Chongxu sect leader and the Taixu sect leader's hearts jumped suddenly.

The Chongxu sect leader couldn't help but say:

"Don't say it out loud! Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, and winning and losing can be transformed. Sometimes, if you say you will win, you will lose instead. If you say you will lose, you may win... ..."

"The last Sword Debate was like this. Everyone thought they were going to lose, but they won."

"Don't say you will win now, or you might lose in the end... ..."

The Tai'a sect leader was a little guilty after being said this, but he still said with a straight face, "This is metaphysics."

The Chongxu sect leader said: "The secrets of heaven and karma are mysterious and profound. You can't fully believe them, but you can't not believe them. Sometimes, you have to believe in something evil... ..."

The Tai'a sect leader sighed, "Then I didn't say anything."

After that, the three continued to drink tea.

But as they drank, the Tai'a sect leader was still worried and asked the Taixu sect leader: "Do you think we can win?"

The Taixu sect leader's originally uneasy heart was stirred up again.

He said helplessly: "It's not easy to win... ..."

"Are you saying it's not easy to win because of the 'metaphysics' of the secrets of heaven, or is it really not easy to win?" The Tai'a sect leader confirmed.

The Taixu sect leader sighed: "The opponent is the Qiandao Sect. Do I need to say more about the strength of the Qiandao Sect?"

The Tai'a sect leader frowned.

The Taixu sect leader said: "The strongest disciple of the Qiandao Sect is Shen Linshu."

"Although no one admits it openly, this Shen Linshu is actually superior to Xiao Wuchen, Ao Zhan, and Duanmu Qing."

"He is the strongest of the Four Great Heaven's Pride of Qianxue."

"Although there is no Shen Linshu in this Sword Debate, there is a Shen Cangfeng."

"Shen Cangfeng is the strongest genius disciple of the Shen family after Shen Linshu."

"Shen Linshu was born with Kirin blood, leaving others far behind, and his brilliance is too great, overshadowing all the other Heaven's Pride."

"With a gem in front, Shen Cangfeng's reputation is not obvious."

"But that's only relative to Shen Linshu. Looking at other sects, this Shen Cangfeng is definitely a top-notch Heaven's Pride."

"It's really not that easy to win against him."

The Taixu sect leader said slowly.

The Tai'a sect leader nodded slightly.

The Taixu sect leader is indeed from a large clan, and he sees these Heaven's Pride disciples very clearly.

But after saying this, he felt even more uneasy.

It was not easy to win a game before. Could it just be a "flash in the pan", and will they start losing again in this game?

This is very worrying.

The Tai'a sect leader sighed.

That's the bad thing about the Sword Debate. Watching others fight to the death, with ups and downs, you will feel it is very exciting.

But if it is related to your own interests, watching your own sect disciples go to the Sword Debate, especially when they are losing streak, it is really heartbreaking and makes you feel hopeless.

Not only the Tai'a sect leader.

The Taixu sect leader, who seems indifferent, and the Chongxu sect leader, who has begun to study "metaphysics of the secrets of heaven", are also not feeling well at this time.

The three mountain sect leaders, who had their own thoughts and even had their own calculations before, suddenly had a feeling of empathy and resonance when watching Mo Hua and their Sword Debate.

The estrangement between them has lessened.

The atmosphere has also become a lot more cordial.

There is really a feeling that the three mountains are of the same lineage, sharing prosperity and loss, and even being uneasy together.

But at this time, they can't do anything.

They can only sit together, constantly drinking tea, seemingly calm, but watching the Sky Canvas Shadow intently.

... ...

At this time, on the Sky Canvas Shadow, Mo Hua had already brought the high-level formations and joined Linghu Xiao and the others.

At this time, the outer city of the Qiandao Sect has been breached.

In this kind of Sword Debate format, the outer city is not easy to defend.

Furthermore, with Linghu Xiao, a sword dao genius with sharp sword intent, Qandao Sect only symbolically defended for a moment before retreating to the inner city.

The city gate of the inner city is the key.

This is also the gate that determines the victory or defeat of the siege.

However, when Mo Hua arrived at the city gate of the inner city, he found that there was no one guarding the gate, but above the city gate, the light of five layers of array formations flickered.

Among the four major sects, Qandao Sect's array formation skill ranks first.

Although these array formations on the city gate are only Tier 2 intermediate, they are all superior defensive array formations.

With five overlapping, the defensive effect is naturally very strong.

At this time, the five disciples of Qandao Sect were all guarding inside the inner city.

The one in front was Shen Cangfeng, who was tall and had a somewhat gloomy temperament.

At this time, he was holding a heavy sword in his hand, secretly gathering strength, with powerful spiritual power surging and sharp sword intent gathering on the sword.

Judging from the imposing manner of his sword intent alone, which he was holding back, he was even better than Xiao Ruohan of Qandao Sect.

Qandao Sect's Kaitian Dilie Swordplay.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

This is a superior heavy sword swordplay.

It is one of the oldest swordplay techniques of Qandao Sect, and its power is extremely strong.

However, it is majestic and heavy, and relatively unpopular, so few people in Qandao Sect practice this swordplay.

This swordplay is very suitable for Shen Cangfeng.

It is precisely because of this Kaitian Dilie Swordplay that Shen Cangfeng can become the number one person in the Shen family, and even the entire Qandao Sect, after Shen Linshu.

Now in this Sword Debate, although he is the defending side.

But he doesn't want to just defend the city.

That would be too passive, and it would not show his strength.

He wants to turn defense into offense and kill all five members of the Taixu Sect.

If the attackers are killed, the city will naturally be defended.

The Sword Debate will naturally be won.

Especially Mo Hua…

A fierce look flashed in Shen Cangfeng's eyes.

The Shen family and Mo Hua also have a considerable feud. If possible, he would of course like to kill Mo Hua with his sword.

Therefore, other people's defending the city is really defending the city.

But Shen Cangfeng's intention is to kill people.

He wants to strengthen the city gate and use it as "bait" to consume the strength of the Taixu Sect.

There are two threats from the Taixu Sect.

One is Linghu Xiao's swordsmanship, and the other is Mo Hua's array formations.

The city gate itself is strong, and with the addition of five Tier 2 intermediate array formations, if you want to forcibly break through the gate, either Linghu Xiao uses a superior killing move.

Or Mo Hua uses all his array formations.

Or both.

Once Linghu Xiao uses a killing move, he will not be able to complete his adjustment in a short time, and he will no longer be a threat.

Once Mo Hua uses up all his array formations, he will basically be a waste.

He will then gather his killing move, wait for work, and give a heavy blow to the Taixu Sect when they break through the city gate.

In this way, when the Taixu Sect breaks through the gate, it will be the time to wipe them out.

Shen Cangfeng's eyes were cold.

…

Outside the city gate, Mo Hua looked at the array formation in front of him, sensed the killing intent behind the gate, and his mind moved slightly. He probably guessed Shen Cangfeng's intention and sighed slightly.

He estimated that in a head-on confrontation, his few people would not be able to defeat Shen Cangfeng at all.

Shen Linshu of Qandao Sect is indeed very strong.

But this Shen Cangfeng is not weak at all.

The four major sects in Qianxue Prefecture are annoying in this regard.

Geniuses are like grasshoppers, you can grab a lot of them, and each one is not small.

Moreover, in the current situation, Shen Cangfeng's plan is not bad at all.

If you want to break the city gate, you must spend a lot of effort.

Either Xiao Xiao releases a big move, or he has to lose all his array formations.

In this way, even if the city gate is broken, they will not be able to cope with the sword qi slashes of the Qandao Sect.

It is also possible to grind slowly without big moves and array formations.

But the problem is that the Sword Debate has a time limit. You must quickly siege the city. Once it is delayed for a long time, once the time comes, they will automatically be judged to have lost.

"This Shen Cangfeng is quite deep in thought…"

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

But unfortunately, these people still don't know what level his array formations have been learned to.

Tier 2 nineteen patterns is not the limit of Tier 2 array formations.

Above the nineteen patterns, there are still many profound principles of array formations.

"Cover me."

Mo Hua said to Cheng Mo and the others.

Cheng Mo and the others nodded.

Then Linghu Xiao began to activate his sword qi and bombard the city gate, giving the Qandao Sect disciples a little pressure.

Ouyang Xuan assisted in the attack from the side.

Situ Jian observed the surroundings, vigilant against the Qandao Sect disciples' sneak attacks.

Cheng Mo carried a big axe, guarding Mo Hua's side.

With the cooperation of his fellow disciples, Mo Hua began to set up array formations on the city wall.

The first array formation is the Earth Stone Array.

This array formation is not for attacking the city, but for "sealing the city", blocking all the Qandao Sect disciples in the city and preventing them from coming out.

After that, Mo Hua set up three consecutive Tier 2 nineteen-pattern high-level killing arrays.

A gold-based Golden Light Killing Array, a wood-based Wood Burial Killing Array, and a fire-based Earth Fire Killing Array.

These three killing arrays contain the five elements of mutual generation and mutual restraint. Cooperating with each other, the power of killing will be even higher.

Moreover, these killing arrays have a certain targeting effect.

But what they target is not the array formations set up by the Qandao Sect disciples.

Not even the city gate itself.

But the Tier 2 high-level array formations drawn inside the "city wall" by the elders of the Sword Debate Mountain before the siege.

The siege warfare is attacking the city gate.

Because the city gate is the weakest.

On both sides of the city gate, there are long, extremely strong "city walls".

The city walls are the boundary, and it was not intended for the disciples to attack in the first place.

This is considered a default rule.

These city walls are wide and thick, and the elders of the Sword Debate Mountain personally drew Tier 2 high-level array formations to protect the city.

The reason for using Tier 2 high-level array formations is because the war between ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples will not involve the power of Tier 3 Golden Core or above.

Generally speaking, Tier 2 high-level array formations are enough.

No disciple with a normal mind would leave the weak "city gate" untouched and go to find discomfort on the thick and hard "city wall".

But that was before.

Unfortunately, now this city wall has met Mo Hua.

Last time in the Sword Debate, when Mo Hua was squatting behind the wall drawing array formations, he accidentally noticed that there were many high-level array formations drawn inside the city wall by the elders of the Sword Debate Mountain.

Mo Hua couldn't help but feel a little eager to try.

He really felt a little "itchy".

Counting it, it has been a long, long time since he collapsed array formations.

The last time he collapsed an array formation, it seemed to be in Tongxian City, when he collapsed the great array and killed the great demon Feng Xi.

Of course, Mo Hua didn't dare to really engage in large-scale "collapse".

One is because he hasn't fully learned the real Tier 2 Reverse Spirit Array.

The other is that this is the Sword Debate Conference, so many people are watching, and he doesn't want to make too much noise and be targeted.

Mo Hua's idea is also very simple.

Trigger the explosion of three high-level killing arrays, and through the vibration of the power of the five elements, induce the imbalance of the high-level array formations inside the city wall, making the spiritual power structure in an unstable state.

And in this killing array, Mo Hua hid a "Reverse Spirit Rune".

This Reverse Spirit Rune is not complete.

But this is an introduction, a wisp of "flame" that can "ignite" the spiritual power in an unstable state, causing it to reverse, and then trigger a large number of high-level array formations inside the city wall to link and become unbalanced, resulting in an explosion.

Three killing arrays will naturally not blow up the city wall.

Mo Hua didn't have this expectation either.

These three killing arrays are actually just a cover, to open a gap, send the flame of the Reverse Spirit Rune into the pile of explosives, and trigger a large number of array formations to explode…

This series of reverse transformation processes has undergone Mo Hua's heavy derivation.

After the explosion, the fire will spread in all directions and automatically "destroy the evidence".

No one will notice the small tricks he played here.

As for its power…

Because it is not a real "collapse", but uses "collapse" as an introduction to trigger the explosion of the array formation itself.

In essence, it is still the power of high-level array formations.

The specific power depends on how many high-level array formations inside the city wall this Reverse Spirit Rune can trigger to become unbalanced.

Derivation is derivation, practice is practice.

This result is not easy to predict.

But Mo Hua thinks it shouldn't be too weak.

Moreover, this is also the only way to win.

If they really attack the city head-on with the Qandao Sect disciples, they are likely to not be able to win.

Soon, Mo Hua arranged all the array formations, and then said:

"Everyone, run away."

After Linghu Xiao and the others walked away, Mo Hua began to "ignite".

Inside the city wall, the Qandao Sect disciples noticed a trace of disharmony.

Someone wanted to come out and take a look, but found that the city gate was blocked by Mo Hua with an array formation.

They couldn't get out at all.

Shen Cangfeng and the other Qandao Sect disciples looked at each other with gloomy expressions.

At this time, they did not know what was about to happen.

Not only them, but the cultivators watching the battle also did not know what would happen.

Because the process of Mo Hua setting up the array formation was relatively boring.

The two sides of the Sword Debate had not yet reached the time of real confrontation.

Most of the audience's mood was relatively relaxed.

Inside the Guanjian Pavilion, the three mountain leaders were also quietly drinking tea.

Then in the next moment, like a bolt from the blue, a "boom" suddenly sounded.

Everyone only felt a pain in their eardrums.

A dazzling light flashed before their eyes.

Then on Fang Tianhua's shadow, the fire instantly spread, and the exploding flames, like fireworks, densely covered the entire screen in an instant, like an ocean of light, almost blinding their eyes.
