Chapter 1000: Attention of All

"Taixu Sect is actually number one?"

"They have more people, so they have the upper hand."

"After all, the three sects have merged, and the number of people has increased. It is normal to win more in the yellow-character game by using this kind of "human wave tactics"..."

Someone sneered, "What's the use of having more people? You have to win. Without this set of 'Tao Soldier Formation', it will not work no matter how many people there are to maximize the combat power of the disciples."

"If you let ordinary disciples go up and fail to win, they will just be giving points to others."

"The more people there are, the more points you get."

"And those formations and spiritual weapons are obviously specially customized. Non-standard spiritual weapons require the design of formation diagrams, improved weapon refining diagrams, and the cooperation of professional weapon refiners in production..."

"If it was just one or two, it would be fine, but there are so many disciples in the Taixu Sect sword competition, and each of them has a set of swords, and most of them are different. The Taixu Sect really spent a lot of money this time..."

"What should we do now? The four major sects want us to 'snipe' the Taixu Sect, but in the current situation, we are being 'sniped' by the Taixu Sect..."

"Just listen to what the Four Great Sects mean. Do you really want to be their dog?"

"The situation is stronger than people. Isn't there anything we can do about it?"

"Don't worry, the sword fight has just begun. This is the yellow round, it's still early. It's impossible for the Taixu Sect to win all the time..."

"If things really get anxious, the four major sects are more anxious than us. If Taixu Sect really takes first place, it will squeeze their position."

"That's true..."

…

The elders of the eight major sects, the twelve schools, and even the hundred schools of Qianxue were all discussing the fact that Taixu Sect was number one in swordplay.

In the four major sects, the disciples felt humiliated.

But the senior elders were much calmer.

The main hall of Qiandao Sect.

The elders from the four sects who were in charge of the sword discussion briefly touched each other and chatted about the Taixu Sect.

"Who created this set of Taixu Sect?"

"Ancestor Xun?"

"He is the ancestor, he is busy with many things every day, he has no time to focus on these things."

"That's the elder of Taixu Sect. I remember... the elder of Taixu Sect named 'Xun Zixian'. He has extraordinary spiritual thoughts and has inherited the true teachings of the ancestor Xun. His attainments in formations are extraordinary..."

No one commented.

After a moment, Elder Shen of the Qiandao Sect frowned and said slowly:

"Could it be... that disciple?"

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

They didn't want to mention that disciple.

With the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, he overwhelmed the four major sects and won the leader in formation, in front of these elders.

This is undoubtedly a "humiliation" to the four major sects.

To the four major sects, this is like an ugly scar.

But now the situation is special and they have to reopen this scar.

The elder of Longding Sect pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Not really..."

"Anyone with extraordinary spiritual awareness and a mind close to that of a demon must be arrogant, have different cognition from ordinary people, and behave in a way that is not tolerated by ordinary people..."

"It is impossible for such a person to please his fellow disciples and spend so much effort on them."

The scene of the battle discussion that day was still deeply engraved in his mind.

Mo Hua, who was weak in blood and low in spiritual power, sat in the corner of the huge arena, emitting a very strong aura from his whole body. He was like a lonely "monster", making all the talented formation masters in the arena breathless.

"What does this monster want from doing such a thankless task?"

The four sect elders all nodded.

Although they don't like ink painting, they recognize its "strength" in their hearts.

Such an extremely talented formation master must be pursuing the great way of formation. He will definitely be above everyone else, moving forward step by step, and will not be hindered by the people under his feet.

The truly strong are always lonely and selfish.

The elder of Wanxiao Sect pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "It seems that this formation 'evil' is also participating in this sword fight?"

"Yes, we are in a group with Linghu Xiao from Chongxu Mountain and Ouyang Xuan from Tai'e Mountain."

The elder of Long Ding Sect frowned, "What does Tai Xu Sect mean by this? They want him, a formation master, to compete in a sword fight?"

The conference on Taoism was divided into five categories: sword, formation, talisman, elixir and weapon.

He is a formation master, why not just compete in formations? Why compete in swords?

The strangest thing is that they are still with the two "only surviving" geniuses of Taixu Sect.

Isn't this a burden?

"Taixu Sect doesn't want to win?"

"Or is it that this person called 'Mo Hua' is not only a demon in formation, but also a rare genius in swordsmanship who can shock the world and make ghosts weep?"

The Tianjian Sect elder sneered.

Everyone was equally puzzled.

After a moment, the Tianjian Sect elder shook his head and sighed,

"This should be the arrangement of the Taixu Sect's Patriarch Xun. This Patriarch Xun...his plans are unfathomable and difficult to guess."

Since the matter concerned the Old Ancestor Dongxu, all the elders fell into deep thought, but they did not dare to say more, for fear of offending the seniors and breaking taboos.

No matter which sect the ancestor is from, as long as he has entered the Dongxu realm, he is an extraordinary figure and should not be easily neglected.

The elder of Wanxiao Sect said: "Let's wait and see what happens. Whatever Taixu Sect is planning, it will be revealed during the sword fight."

"The day after tomorrow, it will be this evildoer's turn to take action."

"Once you make a move, you can no longer hide it. Whether it is a dragon or a bug, everything will be revealed."

"The number one swordsman of Taixu Sect..."

"There's nothing to say about this. Even if the number of lower-level disciples increases and they become stronger, it won't change the overall situation."

"It's good to have some twists and turns. If everything is the same as before, it will be boring."

"Others might think that our 'reform of the sect' and 'self-reform' are just self-directed and self-acted..."

"Yes, a little change is good."

"In the initial round of the Yellow Character Competition, they were able to go smoothly, but in the end, their true colors were exposed."

"Swordsmanship is a long battle. In the end, one round is worth a hundred rounds. If you use up all your strength at the beginning, how can you fight later?"

"The so-called swordfight is not about the bottom of the society, but the real 'top disciples'..."

…

The four major sects have temporarily reached a conclusion.

The Taixu Sect's first place in sword fighting was only a "flash in the pan".

This is well known not only to the four major sects, but also to the other eight major sects, the hundred schools of Qianxue, various aristocratic families, and even the Taixu Sect itself.

Mo Hua knew it clearly in his heart.

But no matter what, this is a good start after all.

The foundation of Taixu Sect's talented people is incomparable to the four major sects.

The start was good and we can still compete later.

If the start is not smooth, there will be no chance of success later on.

Moreover, since we have a good start, we must try our best to expand our advantages so that once the situation turns unfavorable, we can still "survive" a little longer.

Mo Hua encouraged his junior disciples:

"We have a big advantage at the moment, so we must seize the opportunity, try to win as much as possible and expand our advantage. This way, even if we lose ground later, we can stabilize the situation."

"Yes, little brother!"

All the disciples said in unison.

Mo Hua then began to coordinate the subsequent sword fights according to the plan, step by step.

Victory is not achieved overnight, but accumulated bit by bit.

Seize the moment and win every game you can.

It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but we must seize every winning point at the moment.

Night slowly falls, covering the mountains and rivers.

The lights in Taixu Sect were bright, and all the disciples were working.

In the preaching room, the sword-discussing disciples gathered in groups of five to study tomorrow's game, consider tactics, positioning, discuss what kind of spiritual weapons and formations to equip, and think about what emergencies they might encounter and how to solve them...

Then, according to the prescribed format of ink painting, I compiled all of this into a set of procedures and memorized it thoroughly in my mind.

"Don't fight a battle you're not prepared for."

"Since we are going to fight, we must be fully prepared."

This is what the junior brother told them.

They kept it in mind and began to implement it through sword fighting.

Elder Yi, who taught Taoism in Taixu Sect, as well as some other inner sect elders who were proficient in Taoism and swordsmanship and good at killing, also stayed in the teaching room to give suggestions to the disciples and improve their sword-fighting tactics.

Inside the formation room, Zheng Fang also followed the formation list given by Mo Hua, and led Taixu, Tai'a and Chongxu Sanshan, and a group of fellow disciples with impressive formation skills, to draw formations for the formation medium.

These formations will be used in tomorrow's sword fight.

The formation for sword fighting is limited to the middle level of the second grade, so the disciples in Taixu Sect who come from formation families and have good talents can also draw it.

They are formation masters, and their killing abilities are not good, so they usually do not participate in sword fights.

Normally, they should be preparing for the "Formation Discussion Conference" after the sword discussion.

And now, ink painting gives them an opportunity to "put their knowledge into practice".

Not only can they draw formations for their fellow disciples who are participating in the "Sword Debate", but they are also preparing for their own "Formation Debate".

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In the weapon refining room, Ouyang Mu took the lead and led a group of fellow disciples who aspired to become weapon refiners to repair the spiritual weapons damaged in the sword fighting, improve armor, recast spiritual swords, etc.

They are also putting their learning into practice.

At the same time, he also learns by "using" and improves his own refining skills by practicing the refining, improvement, and maintenance of spiritual tools.

Taixu Mountain is brightly lit.

Almost all the disciples gathered together to contribute their own efforts to the sword-fighting competition.

At the same time, it is also laying a solid foundation for the subsequent conferences on formations and weapons.

Gather the strength of the entire sect to discuss the Dao, and the sect will be united with one mind.

This cohesion not only made the elders happy and the sect leader feel gratified, but also moved some of the ancestors in the back mountain.

The three mountains are united, and the disciples are united as one. This may be a scene that they never thought they would see again in their lifetime...

This made these ancestors more excited and sentimental than the brief title of "First in Sword Contest".

In this way, Taixu Mountain was brightly lit and busy until late at night.

The disciples took a short break.

The next day, the sword-fighting competition arrived again.

The situation is still very good.

Because they were so well prepared, Taixu Sect's victories continued to increase, and their advantage was expanding little by little.

After the second day's sword debate, Taixu Sect still ranked first.

The head of Taixu Sect couldn't help but think: It would be great if the sword fighting competition was always at the "yellow" level, so that Taixu Sect could always win...

Of course, this idea is just something we can think about.

Soon, on the third day, something was different.

"Lun Dao Tian Yi" respects the order of drawing lots from weak to strong.

Therefore, on the third day of the sword debate, many geniuses from the sects began to show up one by one, and

Mo Hua was no exception.

He is also going to officially participate in the competition.

Before the competition, Wen Ren Wan brought Yu'er to Taixu Gate and brought some "tonic" spiritual food to Mo Hua.

When the children of the aristocratic families of Qianxue participated in the sword-fighting competition, their parents, grandparents, and even elders of the same clan and lineage would watch from the sidelines and witness their performance in the sword-fighting event.

Mo Hua is different, he is a person.

His parents lived far away in Lizhou, and there was no family elder to take care of him.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Therefore, when he went to participate in the sword-fighting conference, he was a real "lonely man".

Although he is now the junior brother of Taixu Sect, the leader of Qianxue Formation, and has a high reputation in Taixu Sect, Wen Ren Wan still feels sorry for Mo Hua.

In her heart, Mo Hua is just a child after all.

Now, for such an important matter as the sword fight, there is no relative around.

Wen Renwan handed Mo Hua a flag-shaped jade pendant, which meant "a successful start", and then said gently:

"Tomorrow I will bring Yu'er to watch you fight with swords."

She was looking forward to Mo Hua's performance in his first sword fight.

Yu'er was also excited: "Brother Mo, come on!"

Mo Hua's expression was a little subtle. He really wanted to say that there was no need to have such high expectations of himself.

But looking at Aunt Wan and Yu'er's earnest eyes, he was a little speechless, and could only smile and say:

"Thank you Aunt Wan, I will do my best."

Wen Renwan nodded with a smile, and said, "Chang Huai will go to see it too."

Mo Hua was a little surprised, "Is Dao Tingsi not busy?"

"The Sword Discussion Conference is a major event, gathering cultivators from all over the Nine Provinces. The scene is too grand. The first priority of the Dao Court Department is to maintain the stability of Lundao Mountain and ensure that no major incidents occur during the Sword Discussion Conference..."

"This is official business, so Chang Huai will go too."

Wenren Wan explained.

"I see..." Mo Hua nodded.

Wen Ren Wan said some more words of encouragement and blessing, and told Mo Hua not to be nervous, and then left.

Mo Hua didn't think there was anything to be nervous about.

He continued to practice and read as usual. At midnight, his consciousness sank into the sea of ​​​​consciousness and he practiced formations all night.

I woke up the next day, facing the rising sun, and the ink painting was full of energy.

After a simple packing, Mo Hua set off and headed to Lundao Mountain with his fellow disciples to participate in his first sword fight.

Along the way, Linghu Xiao was arrogant and Ouyang Xuan had a sour face.

Situ Jian was as calm as ever, while Cheng Mo looked excited and expectant.

The five of them arrived at Lundao Mountain together.

After that, it was the usual process of participating in the sword debate.

They entered the preparation room, selected their spiritual weapons, elixirs, talismans and formations, and then the elders of Lun Dao Mountain distributed "Lun Dao Jades".

This "Lun Dao Jade" is integrated with the fifth-grade Lun Dao Mountain formation and is the "trigger" for stimulating the power of the void.

For disciples, it is both a "talisman" and a "life-saving talisman".

If the jade is there, the man is still there; if the jade is broken, the man is defeated.

Before issuing the Dao Jade, the elders must first assess the disciple's physical body and blood in order to set the "injury tolerance" of the Dao Jade.

Everyone else was fine, but when it came to Mo Hua, the elders started to have a hard time.

"I have been an elder for so many years and have presided over so many sword-fighting competitions, but I have never seen a disciple like this..."

"It's really... unbelievable."

"How could his blood be so weak?"

"It's really an eye-opener…"

Mo Hua's face turned dark.

Several elders did not notice his emotions and continued to chatter:

"With such talent, Taixu Sect can accept him as a disciple. This is truly... an unconventional person..."

"I can't figure out how he will fight when he goes to the sword fight..."

"That's right. She's delicate and frail, with skin as thin as paper. If I chop her with a sword, she'll probably be dead..."

"It's the same with jade. It will break if you touch it."

"How can we discuss swordplay?"

A group of elders frowned, worrying about Mo Hua.

One elder couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he kindly said, "How about we give him a little more 'blood' from his Dao Jade?"

"Add more…"

"Isn't this... against the rules?"

"That's right. Even if you add this little bit, it's still a drop in the bucket. This child will still break at the slightest touch..."

"Please add a little more. It's so weak. I can't stand it..."

Ink painting: "…"

After some discussion, Mo Hua finally got the "Lun Dao Jade" which had some "blood points" added to it.

Because it has been "notarized" by a group of elders, it is not considered cheating.

The ink painting expresses mixed emotions.

Even though these elders had been saying bad things about him for a long time, they were actually kind-hearted...

Of course, it was said to be strengthened a little, but in fact it was not strengthened much, and his Tao Jade was still very weak.

Other people's discussions on the Dao are like jade, shining and bright.

The ink painting of the Lun Dao jade has only a faint hint of blue light.

Just one look and you can tell who is better.

Mo Hua didn't care. He put the Dao Jade on his forehead. Immediately, it glowed and the power of the void protected him.

Mo Hua's delicate and sharp consciousness can feel that in the void, there is a power of formation flowing, which seems real and unreal, illusory, and yet profound and infinite.

"This is... the fifth-grade void power..."

Mo Hua's heart was shaken.

It's a pity that his realm is too far behind.

Otherwise, in this situation, he could use the divine calculation to reversely deduce part of the formation pattern of the void formation.

Mo Hua felt very sorry.

Afterwards, he and Linghu Xiao waited patiently, and when the time came, they would go on stage to fight with swords.

And at this time, outside the court.

What Mo Hua didn't know was that there were too many monks waiting for him.

In the endless sea of ​​people, there were countless pairs of eyes, bright or dark, all staring at Fang Tianhua's shadow, waiting for Mo Hua to appear.

Among these people, there are many relatives and friends.

Like Wenren Wan, Yu'er, Hua Qianqian from Baihua Valley, Murong Caiyun, a graduate of Taixu Sect, Shangguan Xu, etc...

There are also many high-ranking officials from aristocratic families and sects.

Including the head and elders of the Gu family, who had had interactions with Mo Hua, the elders of the Shangguan family and the Wenren family, as well as some high-ranking members of the aristocratic families and sects who had never met Mo Hua.

In the dark corners, there were also pairs of cold, gloomy eyes that wanted to get a glimpse of the ink painting.

And many cultivators from all over Jiuzhou, including disciples from sects who had never seen Mo Hua before, were also waiting for Mo Hua to show up.

When they came to Qianxuezhou, they had heard the name of Mo Hua more or less while living, traveling, sitting, or visiting fellow Taoists.

Therefore, many people want to see with their own eyes what this legendary "leader of formations" looks like.

Of course, not everyone has heard of ink painting.

During the discussion outside Daoshan, sometimes someone would ask:

"Who is Mo Hua?"

At this time, someone who knew the situation said a long list of names:

The Taixu Sect's array formation monster, with abnormal spiritual consciousness, with the cultivation base of the middle stage of foundation building, overwhelmed the array formation geniuses of the four major sects, eight major sects and twelve streams. His spiritual consciousness exceeded the third level, and he drew a peak array formation with nineteen patterns, and drew through the array question bank, winning the first place in the array debate and becoming the leader of the Qianxue array. He is a legendary array formation monster, which is almost impossible to exist, a monster among monsters...

This string of names was so long and exaggerated that many foreign monks frowned when they heard it.

Their first reaction was:

"Are you all in the Qianxuezhou world bragging like this now?"

"Can you be more pragmatic?"

"Everyone, be honest."

"We monks from other places may not have much knowledge, but we do have common sense..."

Some people were skeptical and asked curiously:

"What does this leader of the debate named 'Mo Hua' look like?"

This statement is even more:

"I heard that he is not very tall and has an extremely extreme personality."

"Very gloomy, like a 'ghost'."

"Anyone who can learn the formation to this extent is either a madman or a 'pervert'..."

"I asked around and heard that he was a pervert..."

"A cousin of the third son of my cousin's cousin's uncle is a disciple of Duanjin Sect. He said that the ink painting of Taixu Sect is very despicable and shameless. They do whatever it takes and have a very low standard. They once stripped a senior brother of Duanjin Sect naked and hung him on a tree, and even drew a turtle on his body..."

"Drawing a turtle?! How could it be so vicious..."

"It's really vicious."

"Also, I heard that he is the illegitimate son of the head of Taixu Sect, so he is particularly spoiled and a complete playboy..."

"Your information is wrong. I can confirm that he is not the illegitimate son of the Sect Master, but the grandson of the Taixu Sect's ancestor! In the sect, he is lawless and does whatever he wants. No one dares to stop him."

"Even the True Elder had to personally pour tea for him..."

"How can this be possible? It is truly treasonous..."

"Also, I heard that his private life is chaotic, and he even had an affair with the daughter of a sixth-rank aristocratic family in Daoting..."

…

In the audience, a group of people swore solemnly, each holding their own opinion, and discussing it, causing a lot of noise.

And under such public attention, the image above Fang Tianhua's shadow became blurry for a moment, and then Mo Hua's figure finally appeared.
