"Master, he is an old man. His attainments in alchemy are far better than mine. If even he can't break this barrier, it's useless for me to go."
Zhao Lingyin shook her head slightly, and then said, "I want to go to the flower garden and try it out to see if I can be better than this heavenly king in cultivating spiritual plants."
"Yeah, that's fine!"
As soon as Shen Mo thought about it, he agreed.
Even though Zhao Lingyin has outstanding talents in the alchemy path, she does not have a divine object such as the Destiny Panel, and she has not officially entered the ranks of a fourth-level alchemist at this time.
But her master, Wu Gong, was only half a step away from a fifth-grade alchemist.
If Wu Gong cannot break through the alchemy room, the probability that Zhao Lingyin can pass is indeed not very high.
However, she possesses the Qingmu spirit body, and has advantages that ordinary people cannot match in terms of cultivating spiritual plants and understanding the properties of elixirs... Compared to the alchemy room, it is actually a wiser idea to choose the flower garden to try!
Immediately, Shen Mo and Zhao Lingyin flew into Tianjun's mansion together.
After entering the mansion, Zhao Lingyin flew towards the flower garden; while Shen Mo flew towards the sword-washing pond!
In terms of attainments in alchemy, talismans, casting, etc., although Shen Mo is not weak;
But now that Tianjun's tomb has gathered top figures from all aspects of the five immortal sects, he can't be considered outstanding.
In terms of Alchemy, there is Zhao Lingyin’s master Wu Gong; in Fu Dao, there are Qi Xing Tan Qiu Jiutian and others; in the forging of weapons, there are also master-level forgers...
What's more, Shen Mo didn't want to expose his relevant attainments in public.
Only in swordsmanship and martial arts, he has invested immeasurable resources and spent endless energy over the years. Even in front of many swordsman masters from Tianjian Sect, Shen Mo is not afraid at all!
The water in the sword-washing pool is extremely clear, which can wash away the dust on the sword and wash away the distracting thoughts in the mind of the sword practitioner.
When Shen Mo appeared at the edge of the pool, he did not see the Prison Heart Sword Master and others who were one step ahead.
Only a few members of the Qi Gathering Realm of Tianjian Sect were wandering outside the Sword Washing Pond, unable to move away, with expressions of understanding and thought on their faces!
Obviously, they have all used swords before, but they were beaten out early. They were immersed in the previous sword test process, hoping to get a glimpse of Wuming Tianjun's swordsmanship achievements.
Seeing Shen Mo approaching, these disciples of the Tianjian Sect quickly moved out of the way, bowed slightly and watched him activate the restricted pass here.
Previously, the Giant Corpse Taoist of the Ghost Corpse Sect had already announced the situation to the public...
Shen Mo naturally knew what to do next, so he approached the sword-washing pool, took out the Demon-Slaying Sword, and washed the sword body with clear water!
I wonder what is so magical about this clear spring?
While washing the sword body, the Demon-Slaying Sword Spirit let out a cheer of great joy, like a little kid covered in dirt who hadn't bathed for months jumping into a clean stream.
"Wow!"
At this moment, the water in the sword-washing pool rippled violently.
The next moment, Shen Mo and the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand were enveloped by an unknown force;
When he reacted, he found that the scene in front of him was still next to the sword washing pool, but the disciples of the Tianjian Sect who were behind him had completely disappeared!
Not only that, other immortal monks also disappeared mysteriously in Tianjun's mansion.
It was as if he were in a strange mirror space. The entire mansion scene had not changed much, but except for himself, no one else was reflected in it.
No wonder the Heavenly Sword Sect masters such as the Prison Heart Sword Master were not seen before. They must have entered a similar strange space like him.
Shen Mo didn't wait too long when a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance but extraordinary temperament walked slowly towards the sword washing pool holding an iron sword.
Although there was no clear reminder, an idea came into his mind out of thin air... He was sure that this middle-aged man was the Wuming Tianjun, or in other words, this was the scene where the Tianjun was washing his sword and enlightening it before his death!
Tianjun Afterimage did not take action immediately, but walked to the sword washing pool, picked up a sharpening stone at random, polished the iron sword in his hand, and picked up a handful of water to wash away the polished rust impurities.
The extremely simple and ordinary movements are full of the strange beauty of Taoism and nature. Shen Mo finds it "pleasant to the eyes"!
After polishing and washing the iron sword in his hand, the afterimage of Tianjun turned around and looked at Shen Mo, then slowly raised the iron sword, pointing the sword tip directly at Shen Mo's face.
Just like before, even though this afterimage had no words, Shen Mo still clearly understood his intention.
"Senior Tianjun, I'm offended!"
Shen Mo also raised his sword and put on the [Clear Observation of All Beings] at the same time, trying to spy on the reality of this afterimage of the Heavenly Lord!
However, this destiny is only effective for living beings. No matter how Shen Mo tries, he can never trigger the message prompt of this destiny.
This made Shen Mo feel more certain.
The "Heavenly Lord" in front of me is not a strange living creature, but a ritual and illusion set in advance!
It's just that the nameless heavenly king had great deeds during his lifetime, and the forbidden illusions he arranged were no different from the real person;
Even a spiritual sea realm monk like Shen Mo cannot use his five senses to distinguish between reality and fiction!
Under the "observation" of Shen Mo's spiritual consciousness, the afterimage of the Heavenly Lord in front of him was a monk in the middle stage of the spiritual sea realm with flesh and blood and soul fluctuations... Obviously, his cultivation realm was based on the person who broke the ban.
Changed by cultivation.
As soon as Shen Mo finished speaking, he started talking about the Demon-Slaying Sword and slashed out a stream of Star Meteor Sword Qi!
"Qiang!"
"Qiang!"
"Qiang!"
There are several crisp sounds of gold and iron.
I saw the remnant image of Tianjun slashing three times in a row. It seemed that the momentum was average, but each sword struck with the Xingyun Sword Qi with incomparable accuracy.
After three sword strikes, the bright sword energy, which was as fast as lightning, disintegrated and dissipated into the void!
After only a brief exchange, Shen Mo knew in his heart that although the afterimage of Tianjun in front of him only revealed the cultivation state of the middle stage of the Linghai Realm, his swordsmanship was obviously still at the peak of his life.
It's not that Shen Motuo is great, with his swordsmanship skills...
Searching through the whole world of Immortal Cultivation in the Chiyan Kingdom, it is difficult to find a strong swordsman with the same level of cultivation who can disintegrate his Senluo Sword Qi with such an understatement and the simplest and most unpretentious sword moves!
However, Shen Mo can understand these.
Even though this unknown heavenly king was a man of amazing talent and beauty during his lifetime, his attainments in various aspects only reached the level of transcendence and sainthood only through the accumulation of time.
If he only used the swordsmanship of the Spiritual Sea Realm to fight against the enemy, he would not be able to achieve the purpose of setting up difficulties and testing the passers-by!
Shen Mo was about to use other sword moves when the afterimage of Tianjun moved. Driven by the sword technique, his footsteps followed a rather strange rhythm. In just a blink of an eye, he appeared within five feet of Shen Mo.
An ordinary person's arm is about two feet long, and the iron sword in his hand is more than three feet long.
Within such a range, Tianjun Afterimage only needs to send the iron sword forward slightly to seriously injure Shen Mo!
