Asking about longevity

And this 《Tumo Treasure Book》 is indeed useful.

In the next Earth-character Sword Debate, facing the Vajra Sect, Mo Hua's formations were completely restricted.

Conventional formations are not very difficult to deal with, especially for those senior formation elders in the Qianxue Prefecture.

Mo Hua's general formation routines were indeed within their deductions.

The inherent drawbacks of the formations were further amplified.

For example, slow formation speed—even if Mo Hua draws quickly, it still takes a certain amount of time to form the formation, the formation venue is fixed, and there are various restrictions on the formation medium, and so on.

Moreover, once a formation is set up, it will leave some traces, more or less.

Mo Hua's formation techniques are brilliant and were originally not easy to detect.

But no matter how brilliant his techniques are, they cannot withstand so many formation elders 'nitpicking' research and massive simulations.

In addition, although the Sword Debate venue on the Dao Discussion Mountain is complex and changeable, it is generally fixed.

It is artificially shaped according to a certain 'template'.

Unlike the Great Black Mountain and the Demon Refining Mountain, which are truly desolate and chaotic 'wilds'.

Formations are difficult to truly 'hide'.

In this case, Mo Hua's originally brilliant formation techniques are no longer 'brilliant'.

Although the match against the Vajra Sect was eventually won, it was basically thanks to Linghu Xiao and the others.

Mo Hua turned to his old profession, using spells to 'slack off'.

And because the formations failed, they couldn't be used.

Mo Hua, this 'Formation Dao Leader', gradually lost his halo in the eyes of the watching cultivators and became 'average':

"Look, I told you, it's useless to only know formations."

"This is the Sword Debate, even if he is the Formation Dao Leader, he will have his claws cut off and act with his tail between his legs."

"His formations, at best, only lasted for three or four matches. Now he's back to his true form."

"Cultivators still have to rely on their own cultivation. It's always relying on these external forces, and ultimately you won't go far…"

"This is the Sword Debate, not to mention swordsmanship, at least you have to learn a superior spell, right?"

"Don't mention it, his spiritual power is pitifully low. Even if he learns a superior spell, he won't be able to use it…"

"Forget it, don't make it difficult for him. The entire Taixu Sect doesn't have any decent sword technique inheritance at all. What do you want him to learn?"

"That's right, the Taixu Sect is too weak…"

……

The Taixu Sect disciples heard these discussions.

They were angry in their hearts, but for a moment, they really had no reason to refute.

The Tai'a inheritance is sword forging.

The Chongxu inheritance is sword energy.

The Taixu inheritance is sword intent, which is invisible, intangible, and cannot be cultivated at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if the three sects merged and part of the inheritance was interconnected, the superior sword techniques still belonged to the Chongxu lineage.

The Taixu lineage really doesn't have any decent swordsmanship, especially at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The sword techniques that the Taixu Sect previously taught to its disciples were not bad, but that was compared to the inheritance of ordinary sects.

In the Sword Debate, compared with the inheritance of the Four Sects and Eight Gates and many top sects.

The sword techniques that the Taixu Sect had previously taught its disciples were really not presentable.

Even if they were really presented, there would be a sense of shame of 'losing face'.

Others scold them, they will only sneer and scold others for being fools.

But if others criticize the Taixu Sect for their swordsmanship being weak.

The Taixu Sect disciples will really be angry.

Because the sword technique inheritance of their Taixu Sect is really weak…

Even in the entire Sword Debate, none of the Taixu Sect disciples with excellent results learned the sword techniques of the Taixu Sect.

Not to mention Linghu Xiao and Ouyang Xuan.

They were not from the Taixu lineage in the first place.

In addition, Situ Jian learned the Li Fire Sword of his family.

Cheng Mo used an axe and didn't use a sword at all.

There was also Mo Hua, who didn't even use a spiritual weapon. He relied on spells and formations to make a living.

Therefore, being ridiculed by others for "the Taixu Sect's swordsmanship is weak", "the Taixu Sect's swordsmanship can't be brought to the stage", "the Taixu Sect has no sword dao inheritance", "how can you participate in the Sword Debate without a sword dao inheritance?"… and so on.

Most of the Taixu Sect disciples could only hold their breath in their hearts, but couldn't speak out.

……

And from the overall situation of the Sword Debate, although the Taixu Sect was winning.

The Daluo Sect was also winning.

Even because the Daluo Sect had a deep foundation and was a "one sect with two geniuses", with two geniuses each leading a team, they had a few more wins than the Taixu Sect.

Therefore, the victories of the two sects were almost evenly matched.

Only a single game was different.

If the Taixu Sect fell behind by one game, the position of the head of the Eight Great Gates would have to be given up.

This 'dangerous' gap has attracted the attention of many forces and countless cultivators.

Everyone wants to know who will win the position of the head of the Eight Great Gates.

Who between the Taixu Sect and the Daluo Sect will be able to reach the end.

And in this tense atmosphere, the Dao Discussion Celestial Instrument timely deduced the list of the next Sword Debate:

Decapitation Match.

Taixu Sect vs. Daluo Sect.

This timing was really too coincidental.

Coincidental to the point that Mo Hua even suspected that this Dao Discussion Celestial Instrument was not a magic weapon, but had already become 'sentient'.

In order to attract attention and create a "big gimmick", it deliberately arranged the Sword Debate between the Taixu Sect and the Daluo Sect at this juncture.

In this way, this Sword Debate is extremely significant.

Whoever wins is the number one of the Eight Gates.

Whoever loses will eat dust as the loser.

This is almost a bloody and desperate "must-win" game.

The Four Sects and Eight Gates, and even the high-level figures of other sects in Qianxue, and countless watching cultivators, all cast their eyes on this game.

And the atmosphere of the Taixu Sect and the Daluo Sect, who were in the game, was even more incomparably solemn from top to bottom.

For the Taixu Sect, the position of the Four Great Sects is basically out of the question now.

But the position of the head of the Eight Great Gates must be defended.

This is a visible and tangible benefit.

Winning a game may mean decades, or even hundreds of years, of glory as the head of the Eight Gates.

If you lose this game, you may lose everything.

Even if you regret it, it will be useless.

It concerns the interests of the sect. At this critical juncture, Mo Hua did not dare to be careless.

No one knew that his ambition was actually greater.

But no matter how big the ambition, it must be realized step by step.

This Sword Debate must be won by all means.

Know yourself and know your enemy.

Mo Hua then called Linghu Xiao and asked about the situation of the Daluo Sect.

He had heard that Linghu Xiao, as a sword dao genius, seemed to have some intersection with the Daluo Sect, and was quite familiar with the situation of the Daluo Sect, knowing a lot of inside information.

Since Mo Hua asked, Linghu Xiao naturally knew everything and said everything.

"The Daluo Sect is one of the top sword dao sects in Qianxue."

"A long time ago, it was called 'Daluo Sword Sect', and it was one of the former Four Great Sects. The sword dao strength of the sect even surpassed that of the Tianjian Sect."

"Although it has declined a bit now, its strength has always been strong, and it has been hovering in the first and second positions of the Eight Great Gates for many years."

"It has always been just one step away from the Four Great Sects, but it has never crossed it."

"And this year's Daluo Sect has two of the strongest disciples, both from the fifth-grade Ye family, and they are also cousins."

"One is called Ye Qingfeng, the senior brother of the Daluo Sect. He cultivates the Daluo Return to One Sword Technique. He is calm and has a deep mind. He is rarely seen fighting with others."

"But it is said that his strength is actually very strong, even compared with geniuses like Xiao Wuchen, he is not far behind."

"Of course, this is what others say, whether it is true or false, I don't know. But at least this Ye Qingfeng should not be underestimated."

"In addition, there is another person named Ye Zhiyuan."

"Ye Zhiyuan has a greater reputation."

"This person is arrogant and doesn't care about anyone, but his sword dao talent is extremely high."

"He cultivates the Daluo Sect's most superior sword technique, the Daluo Flying Heaven Imperial Sword Technique."

"These two geniuses, each leading a team, have been fighting until now. Now that the Earth-character Sword Debate is about to end, these two have rarely lost…"

……

Linghu Xiao narrated slowly. Only in front of Mo Hua would he say so much.

Mo Hua sighed slightly after listening.

Qianxue Prefecture is not good at this point.

There are really as many geniuses as dogs, and geniuses are everywhere.

When it comes to any sect, they all have a big background, and there are a lot of geniuses.

"Who are we fighting tomorrow?" Mo Hua asked.

Linghu Xiao was silent, "Ye Zhiyuan…"

Seeing that Linghu Xiao's expression was strange, Mo Hua asked, "Do you know this Ye Zhiyuan?"

Linghu Xiao was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Is he very strong?"

"Very strong," Linghu Xiao nodded, "I used to be one of the two great sword dao geniuses of the Eight Great Gates alongside him. Moreover, I…"

Linghu Xiao seemed a little embarrassed and didn't want to mention this matter, but facing Mo Hua's sincere face, Linghu Xiao still didn't hold back and sighed frankly:

"I lost to him in a sword fight…"

Mo Hua nodded, seeing that Xiao Xiao's face was not very good, obviously still brooding over this matter, so he didn't ask him when, where, and why he had to compete with this Ye Zhiyuan, and then lost.

As a sword dao genius, losing to another arrogant and arrogant genius.

Maybe he was also ridiculed, that feeling must be very uncomfortable.

Especially for children like Xiao Xiao who like to keep things in their hearts.

"Then are you confident to fight him in tomorrow's Sword Debate?" Mo Hua asked.

Linghu Xiao knew what Mo Hua meant, thought for a moment, and said:

"Little senior brother, what you said before is right, since you are wholeheartedly obsessed with the sword dao, then you can't be afraid of losing."

"No matter how strong the sword cultivator is, I dare to fight him, regardless of victory or defeat."

"But…"

Linghu Xiao looked cautiously and said slowly:

"This is not my own business…"

"This Sword Debate is of great importance and cannot be missed in the slightest. My personal victory or defeat is actually nothing. The title of sword dao genius doesn't matter. Everything I do is just for the sect to win…"

Mo Hua nodded, feeling a little emotional.

When he first met Linghu Xiao, it was in the Demon Refining Mountain. Linghu Xiao was hunting demons alone. He was a genius with a withdrawn personality and not very popular.

And now, he is truly sharing the honor and disgrace with the sect.

He is a good kid…

Mo Hua was very pleased.

"Don't worry, leave the Sword Debate to me. I'll arrange it," Mo Hua said, and then asked Linghu Xiao, "What is this Ye Zhiyuan good at?"

"Imperial sword," Linghu Xiao said.

Mo Hua was stunned, "Imperial sword?"

Linghu Xiao nodded and then explained, "The Great Firmament Soaring Sky Sword Art is a profound flying sword-type sword art. This Ye Zhiyuan has an exceptionally high talent in the way of controlling swords. He is a genius in sword control..."

"He is also one of the few genius sword cultivators who can cultivate 'sword control' to a high level in the Foundation Establishment realm."

"His Flying Sky Sword Control is rarely used, but once it is, it is extremely fast and powerful."

"Previously, I was defeated by his move..."

Linghu Xiao seemed to still feel unwilling when he thought about it now.

Mo Hua's expression was a little strange.

"His strongest move is sword control...?"

"Isn't this... a coincidence...?"

...

After leaving Linghu Xiao, Mo Hua walked towards the disciples' residence, pondering all the way about this sword dao genius Ye Zhiyuan, who was proficient in the "Great Firmament Soaring Sky Sword Art..."

Halfway there, he ran into Ouyang Xuan.

Ouyang Xuan seemed to be waiting for Mo Hua on purpose and said, "The Sect Leader is looking for you."

"Sect Leader?"

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the Sect Leader of Mount Tai'a.

The Tai'a Sect Leader is looking for me?

Mo Hua was a little surprised.

The latest novels are available on 69shu.com!

"Okay." Mo Hua nodded.

Ouyang Xuan led the way in front of him, knowing what was what.

Although he still had a stinky face along the way, at least he was respectful.

After so many sword debates, Ouyang Xuan didn't say it, but in his heart, he was still a little convinced by Mo Hua.

When they arrived at the Taixu Gate, a quiet guest building, and entered the tea room, Mo Hua saw the burly and dignified Tai'a Sect Leader.

The Tai'a Sect Leader first looked at Ouyang Xuan, and after a moment of silence, he didn't know how to start.

Mo Hua glanced at Ouyang Xuan.

Ouyang Xuan understood, said "Mm," and left without looking back.

The Tai'a Sect Leader looked at Mo Hua, and was amazed for a moment.

If it wasn't a little undignified, he would even want to ask Mo Hua how he "tamed" this stubborn donkey, Ouyang Xuan.

Of course, this was not the main thing.

The tea room was quiet, and the fragrance of tea wafted around.

Without outsiders, the Tai'a Sect Leader was much more amiable, pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Sit."

Mo Hua declined a few times.

He was just a sect disciple, and sitting on an equal footing with the Sect Leader was a bit inappropriate.

The Tai'a Sect Leader said, "This is the Sect Leader's order. If I tell you to sit, then sit."

Seeing that Mo Hua still wanted to decline, he pretended to be angry and said, "What? Is the Sect Leader of your Taixu Mountain the Sect Leader, and the Sect Leader of my Tai'a Mountain not your Sect Leader?"

Since he had said that, Mo Hua couldn't refuse anymore.

He saluted and sat down properly.

The Tai'a Sect Leader nodded slightly when he saw Mo Hua sitting down, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked softly:

"How are you...preparing for tomorrow's sword debate?"

The Tai'a Sect Leader knew that Mo Hua was doing a lot of the planning for the Taixu Gate's sword debate.

In fact, Mo Hua was also the "captain" of their team.

Even the sword dao genius Linghu Xiao, and the unruly Ouyang Xuan, had to listen to Mo Hua.

Therefore, he could only ask Mo Hua about this matter.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have asked.

With the sword debate imminent, he, as the Sect Leader, shouldn't put unnecessary pressure on these disciples.

But the Tai'a Sect Leader really couldn't help it.

Although the Sect Leader had a high position and great power, he was far from transcending to the level of the Old Ancestor.

And precisely because of his high position and great power, ranking and power were even more important.

Furthermore, Mount Tai'a was different from Mount Taixu and Mount Chongxu.

The former Tai'a Sect had worked hard to govern and was once the leader of the eight major sects.

Of course, it was only glorious for those few years before suffering a major setback in the Rouge Boat incident, and then its glory faded.

But no matter what, he had been "rich" before.

Having experienced the glory of an upper-level sect, he didn't want to suffer the cold reception of a lower-level sect even more.

Therefore, he valued things like rankings extremely highly.

Tomorrow's sword debate with the Da Luo Gate was a crucial step, and he was really worried, so he wanted to find Mo Hua to test the waters.

Mo Hua also understood his feelings and wanted to say that it was okay and let the Sect Leader rest assured.

But as the words came to his lips, Mo Hua's mind moved, and he suddenly thought of something, so he sighed and said with a worried face: "It's not easy to fight..."

The Tai'a Sect Leader didn't doubt it.

Because it was indeed not easy to fight.

He had heard of the sword dao genius Ye Zhiyuan of the Da Luo Gate more than once.

It was truly rare to find a sect disciple who could cultivate the Great Firmament Soaring Sky Sword Art to the realm of "sword control" in the Foundation Establishment realm.

This was a strong enemy, and it was normal for it to be difficult to fight.

The Tai'a Sect Leader said readily, "If you need any help in tomorrow's sword debate, feel free to ask."

He was a practical person who generally didn't do anything superficial.

If he wanted his disciples to work hard for the sect, and wanted the position of the leader of the eight major sects, then he had to offer "real benefits."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and then his face hesitated, "This..."

The Tai'a Sect Leader said, "Don't be embarrassed, just say what you want to say."

Mo Hua pretended to be embarrassed.

The Tai'a Sect Leader put on a straight face and said seriously:

"The three sects have merged, and the three mountains are connected. I am the Sect Leader of Mount Tai'a, which is equivalent to your own Sect Leader, so what's there to be polite about?"

"Moreover, this is for the sword debate, for our Taixu Gate. If you need anything, just say it!"

The Tai'a Sect Leader emphasized the words "your own Sect Leader" and "our Taixu Gate."

Mo Hua was moved and finally revealed his thoughts:

"Sect Leader, can I borrow the Tai'a Sword Formation to take a look?"

The Tai'a Sect Leader's expression froze on his face, and his heart skipped a beat.

He was done for. He had run into a little fox.

This kid was even better at acting than him... He asked for the sword formation as soon as he opened his mouth...

Now he finally knew how difficult it was to deal with this kid Mo Hua, no wonder none of the elders of the Taixu Gate underestimated him.

He didn't know if he learned it from their Old Ancestor...

Sword formation, ah...

The Tai'a Sect Leader was in a dilemma and asked Mo Hua, "What do you want the Tai'a Sword Formation for?"

Mo Hua said confidently, "For tomorrow's sword debate."

"Sword debate? You need to use the sword formation?" The Tai'a Sect Leader frowned.

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, and then praised, "I heard that Mount Tai'a has always been famous for forging swords, and the core of forging swords is the sword formation. The Tai'a Sword Formation must be one of the top sword formations in the world."

"With this sword formation, even when facing the sword dao genius of the Da Luo Gate, we will surely be invincible and unparalleled..."

Mo Hua didn't skimp on his words of praise.

The Tai'a Sect Leader felt comfortable all over when he heard it.

But he also knew in his heart.

Sword formations and sword techniques were not the same thing.

How could he use the sword formation for forging swords to deal with the sword techniques for controlling swords?

This kid Mo Hua was definitely coaxing him.

But he was the Sect Leader, and this kid was a sect disciple. He shouldn't be lying in front of him...

The Tai'a Sect Leader hesitated and asked Mo Hua:

"Really?"

"Yes!" Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, his eyes clear.

Putting aside everything else, just this face, coupled with this gaze, made people feel that this kid couldn't possibly be lying.

The Tai'a Sect Leader was a little stuck for a moment.

The sword formation was not an ordinary thing. This was a core inheritance and must not be leaked.

But the sword debate in front of him was also extremely important. If he lost this one, it would be useless to regret it later.

The Tai'a Sect Leader frowned and pondered for a moment, and then made up his mind and waved his hand, saying:

"Okay! I'll give it to you!"

You can't catch a wolf without letting go of the child.

No matter how precious the sword formation was, it was not as important as the position of the leader of the eight major sects.

Moreover, he also had the intention of "befriending" Mo Hua on this trip.

Since he was befriending Mo Hua, then don't be reluctant about the sword formation.

What kind of genius was Mo Hua? The leader of the Qian learning formation dao, the "treasure" of the Old Ancestor of the Taixu Gate. Without some real benefits, how could he build a friendship?

In this day and age, if you don't give people meat to eat, who will befriend you?

Empty words and superficial things, without any benefits, were only used to deceive ghosts?

Mo Hua also looked happy.

He didn't expect that the Tai'a Sect Leader would really be so generous.

He could even give him the sword formation.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Mo Hua said with a smile.

The Tai'a Mountain Sect Leader was also quickly classified as a "great good person" in his heart.

...

At the same time.

In the Tu Mo Order.

A person named "A Sword Away" said arrogantly:

"What is the Taixu Gate?"

"If it weren't for the merger of the three sects, they wouldn't even have a sword art that they could show off."

"Sword debate, without the inheritance of sword dao, what sword are they debating? It's really ridiculous."

"At most, only Linghu Xiao is worth watching in the entire sect."

"Mo Hua?"

"Just a formation master, a fame-seeking person. He can't even pick up a sword, and he's learning how to debate swords?"

"Even that Linghu Xiao is just a defeated opponent of mine. He's worthy of being on par with me?"

...

His tone of indiscriminate spraying was very familiar, and soon someone said:

"Ye Zhiyuan?"

"So what if it is?"

Someone questioned: "How did you get in here? You don't have any grudges against Mo Hua, do you?"

"Don't worry about that..."

A Sword Away: "I'm just asking you, as long as I kill Mo Hua, I can be the leader, is that true?"

Everyone was silent.

They couldn't stand Ye Zhiyuan's arrogance, but they didn't want to break their promise.

"That's right."

"Good!" A Sword Away said, "Tomorrow, I will take Mo Hua's head with one sword and be your leader!"

"If you can't even kill a mere Mo Hua, what qualifications do you have to call yourselves geniuses?"

"A bunch of trash, just wait and see."

"Tomorrow, your leader will be crowned king!"

Everyone looked at his words, feeling annoyed, but they were helpless.
