First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 132: [Martial Arts] Sword Formation

Seven Beidou Sword embryos hung in the air, swirling around Shen Mo.

The sword body resembled a pitch-black night, adorned with sparkling stars. Even though it was still in its embryonic form, its appearance was extraordinary.

Shen Mo held the jade scroll of the "Seven Stars Sword Formation" and opened the panel, equipping the [Martial Arts (Blue)] Destiny.

[Do you want to consume one hundred low-grade spirit stones to activate the effect of the Martial Arts deduction technique?]

Without hesitation, Shen Mo took out a piece of medium-grade spirit stone from his Qiankun bag.

Originally, Shen Mo had spent all his spirit stones to bid on the Heavenly God Iron, but the two Lingyun Sect disciples came and gave him money...

While accepting their gift, it also slightly relieved Shen Mo's urgent need.

"Pu!"

A golden light in the shape of an eye burst out from Shen Mo's brow, instantly absorbing the spiritual energy from the medium-grade spirit stone.

In just a moment, the spirit stone turned into useless powder and impurities.

[Martial Arts, officially activated!]

In the mysterious space of his mind, a blurry figure suddenly appeared.

It was a martial arts phantom, replicated based on Shen Mo's appearance. It stood proudly, surrounded by the seven embryonic swords.

Swoosh!

Swoosh swoosh!

As the figure made sword gestures, the Beidou Sword embryos trembled like a dragon's roar, rotating in unison, forming the Beidou Formation in the sky.

The sword formation appeared ordinary, like a ladle used for eating and drinking.

The martial arts phantom changed its sword gestures.

Suddenly, the seven sword embryos merged into one, and a majestic sword light cascaded like a waterfall of stars.

Anyone caught within the sword formation, whether cultivators, demonic beasts, evil cultivators, or celestial demons, would all be turned into dust.

However, Shen Mo discovered that the power of the sword formation arranged by the martial arts phantom was far inferior to the one set up by the white-bearded old man.

"It's still just the sword embryos. Once they are refined with various extreme elements and transformed into sword intent, the power of the sword formation will greatly increase."

"But to contain gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, and darkness, the seven extreme elements, each one is not easy to find!"

"Let alone having all seven of them!"

"I can only slowly search for them in the future. Each sword that takes shape is a treasure."

While pondering, Shen Mo glanced at the information feedback on the panel.

"After continuous cultivation and comprehension, you have initially mastered the profoundness of the 'Seven Stars Sword Formation.' Your understanding of the 'Seven Stars Sword Formation' has deepened. Experience +10."

"After continuous cultivation and comprehension, you have increasingly realized the profundity of the 'Seven Stars Sword Formation.' Your understanding of the 'Seven Stars Sword Formation' has deepened. Experience +10."

"After continuous cultivation and comprehension..."

A medium-grade spirit stone was equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones, enough to support one day and one night of practicing the [Martial Arts] deduction technique!

While the martial arts phantom cultivated, Shen Mo himself focused on practicing the "Seven Stars Sword Formation."

With the foundation of [Martial Arts], Shen Mo had already made progress in this sword formation, reaching the stage of "initial understanding."

Shen Mo made sword gestures with his hand.

The seven sword embryos formed a sword formation within the martial arts phantom, evolving an infinite array of sword light.

As the first person to know about the opening of the "Demon Path," Shen Mo was eager to improve his strength. Before running out of spirit stones in his bag, he had no plans to leave the mountain for training.

In addition to using [Martial Arts] as support, he also planned to enhance the "Sword Control Technique" he had obtained.

If he could comprehend the true meaning of swordsmanship and even condense a sword heart, that would be even better!

Even if he couldn't achieve his wish in the short term, the enhancement of the "Sword Control Technique" in terms of swordsmanship and sword flying should not be underestimated.

"As long as I run fast enough, danger won't catch up to me!" Shen Mo thought.

Time flew by.

For ten days and ten nights, Shen Mo was busy with everything except eating, drinking, and getting minimal sleep.

He constantly wore the special destiny [Yanwu] and practiced the [Yanwu] to cultivate the "Seven Stars Sword Formation" and the "Sword Spirit Technique"!

At the same time, he was constantly refining pills and making talismans.

Using the [Yanwu] destiny to cultivate techniques was much more efficient than cultivating on his own, but the downside was that it consumed a lot of spiritual stones.

In the past ten days, Shen Mo had already spent ten medium-grade spiritual stones.

With such intense practice of the [Yanwu], he could only sustain it for about twenty days at most.

Fortunately, Shen Mo was skilled in alchemy and talisman making, which allowed him to earn a large number of spiritual stones and provide a continuous supply for the [Yanwu], helping him strengthen his own power.

As for the path of forging, it was quite special.

Usually, the blacksmith would tailor-make items according to the requirements of the cultivators.

Shen Mo didn't want to reveal his accomplishments in these three skills, as he had no master and yet was proficient in everything, making it hard for others not to suspect.

If it was a standardized product, he could still sell it, but the profit would not be too high, and Shen Mo didn't want to waste his time.

For him, refining second-grade pills and talismans had the highest cost-effectiveness!

Every time he accumulated a batch of pills and talismans, Shen Mo would hide his identity, go to the foot of the mountain to sell them in the Cloud Town, and then purchase a batch of raw materials needed for refining.

One in, one out.

The reserve of spiritual stones in Shen Mo's Qiankun bag was barely maintained at around two thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

In exchange, he experienced rapid improvement in the "Seven Stars Sword Formation" and the "Sword Spirit Technique," as well as gained a lot of experience in pills and talismans.

Summoning the destiny panel.

[Master: Shen Mo]

[Cultivation Technique: "Purple Mansion Heart Sutra" (7885/9000);

"The Heavenly Origin Technique" (3964/4000)]

[Martial Arts: "Supreme Pure Sword Technique" (4120/16000);

"The Sword Spirit Technique" (150/3000);

"The Seven Stars Sword Formation" (230/3000)]

[Light Body Technique: "Thunderous Steps" (8823/15000);

"The Immortal Wind and Cloud Body Technique" (200/500)]

[Body Cultivation Technique: "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body" (3/100)]

[Soul Cultivation Technique: "The Soul Contemplation Scripture" (not yet condensed)]

Shen Mo had tried it before, and with the support of the "Sword Spirit Technique," the power of the "Supreme Pure Sword Technique" had increased, and the speed of controlling the Dragon Sparrow Sword had also significantly improved.

In short, the "Sword Spirit Technique" played a guiding role.

As long as it was related to the sword, all kinds of profound techniques and principles could have certain enhancements.

Shen Mo believed that as the "Sword Spirit Technique" became more profound, one day he would be able to comprehend sword intents like the "Killing Intent" of the Dragon Sparrow Sword.

And even condense the supreme sword heart!

However, the sword intents and sword hearts that a swordsman could comprehend were related to their own personality, experiences, true nature, and visions.

Shen Mo knew that with his temperament, even if he successfully comprehended sword intents, it would never be the extremely violent "Killing Intent."

What kind of sword intent would it be?

Only when he comprehended it would he know.

On this day, Shen Mo had just finished selling the elixirs and talismans and returned from the Cloud Town.

A red figure crashed into Shen Mo's arms. If he hadn't cultivated the "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body," it was afraid that this collision would have injured and caused a Qi Gathering Stage Second Layer cultivator to cough up blood.

"Master, I'm so hungry... so hungry..."

Through the spiritual pet contract, Shen Mo heard the cry of the Spirit Burrow Rat.

"You finally woke up!"

Shen Mo grabbed the plump neck of the Spirit Burrow Rat like holding a small cat and lifted it up.
