Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 231 The Forbidden Magic Technique
The Demon Sect wants to get rid of Gu Mo, and the righteous side will naturally not let the Demon Sect succeed. The strength displayed by Gu Mo makes the righteous side extremely excited.

If they can cooperate with Lin Wu from Dayan Sword Sect, the righteous side will definitely win a great victory in this battle between the geniuses.

Almost at the same time, both the good and evil sides took action. As for Gu Mo at this moment, he was checking the treasures in the golden treasure chest.

There weren't many things inside, just three items, a jade slip, a jade bottle and a small tripod the size of a palm.

Gu Mo's attention was first attracted by the palm-sized cauldron. With his attainments in alchemy, he could conclude that this should be an alchemy furnace.

Taking the small tripod out of the treasure chest, it was just as Gu Mo expected, an alchemy furnace, and it was a spiritual weapon-level alchemy furnace.

In the alchemy furnace, Gu Mo felt the presence of a spirit.

A spiritual weapon-level alchemy furnace is the equipment of a 4th-level alchemist. Elder Liu of Shennong Valley has a spiritual weapon-level alchemy furnace, which she cultivated herself over a long period of time.

The value of this spiritual alchemy furnace nurtured by an alchemist is far greater than that of a spiritual alchemy furnace directly forged by a blacksmith.

The reason is very simple. After the alchemy furnace gives birth to a spirit, it can assist the alchemist in alchemy. However, in order for the spirit to master the skills of alchemy, it requires constant teaching from the alchemist.

However, the spirit of the spiritual weapon alchemy furnace forged directly by the blacksmith can do nothing, and the alchemist needs to spend extra time to cultivate it slowly.

Moreover, the value of the alchemy furnaces maintained by different alchemists varies. The alchemy furnaces used by famous alchemists are more valuable than those used by ordinary alchemists.

Legend has it that the spirit of the higher-level alchemy furnace is a top-level alchemist who can refine pills on his own.

The spiritual artifact alchemy furnace in Gu Mo's hand at the moment should be a brand new alchemy furnace judging from its quality. It needs to be nurtured by Gu Mo before it can unleash the true power of this spiritual artifact.

But Gu Mo was already very satisfied to get an alchemy furnace of spiritual weapon level. He didn't care whether it was cultivated by an alchemist or not.

After putting away the spiritual artifact alchemy furnace, Gu Mo turned his gaze to the jade bottle. From the appearance of the jade bottle, it was clear that it was a jade bottle used to store elixirs.

Now that we have the alchemy furnace, it seems normal to have some pills.

When the jade bottle was opened, a special medicinal fragrance wafted out. When he smelled the fragrance, Gu Mo knew what the medicine in the jade bottle was.

"Ningying Pill!"

There is actually a genuine Ningying Pill in this jade bottle. It is worthy of being a golden treasure chest guarded by a 4th-level demon king. This thing is really powerful.

If those geniuses saw this Nengying Pill, they would definitely be ecstatic. For those geniuses who have reached the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm, the value of the Nengying Pill is greater than that of a spiritual weapon.

But for Gu Mo, the value of the Ningying Pill was relatively ordinary. After all, he had no use for it, so when he found out that the jade bottle contained the Ningying Pill, his expression barely changed. This also made outsiders think that the jade bottle contained ordinary pills.

When Gu Mo was checking the treasures in the treasure chest, people outside could also see it. Gu Mo was helpless about this because his incarnation did not have the black fog space and could not isolate the location of the identity token.

Unless Gu Mo throws away his identity token, but this is obviously not safe. If the people of the Demon Sect launch an attack at this time, Gu Mo will have no way of retreat.

Although Gu Mo defeated the 4th level demon king, he did not underestimate the true teachings of the Demon Sect. To be more precise, it was the Demon Sect's trump cards and backup plans.

I have the alchemy furnace and the elixir. This jade slip can't be an elixir recipe or an inheritance of alchemy.

Gu Mo turned his gaze to the last jade slip. If this was true, then the golden treasure chest was a bit of a loss this time. He had just fought with the 4th level demon king and revealed a lot of cards. If this golden treasure chest could not provide some improvement in combat power, then it would mean that Gu Mo would lose some cards that could bring him a surprise victory.

With a little trepidation, Gu Mo picked up the last jade slip and probed it with his spiritual sense. Then, Gu Mo was stunned.

What was recorded in this jade slip was not an elixir recipe, nor the inheritance of an alchemist, but a forbidden magic technique called Heavenly Demon Disintegration!

"It's actually it!"

The Disintegration of the Heavenly Demon, like the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, are both classic methods of the demonic path. However, classic does not mean weak. On the contrary, it is precisely because of its power that it has become a classic.

"This is still the complete disintegration of the demon!"

Gu Mo quickly checked the forbidden technique of Heavenly Demon Disintegration. This was not the incomplete versions circulated in the outside world, but the complete Heavenly Demon Disintegration.

The complete disintegration of the Heavenly Demon is definitely the top inheritance of the Demon Sect. This time, the Demon Sect actually used such an inheritance as a reward for the battle of geniuses.

Gu Mo couldn't guess what the Demon Sect was thinking. They wanted the righteous genius to practice the forbidden magic technique, and then use it to cut off his future foundation. In this way, they could destroy a genius.

The forbidden technique of Demon Disintegration is a forbidden technique that can greatly improve combat power, and it is divided into several levels.

The first level burns the spiritual energy in the body to increase combat power.

This level is relatively safe. The only side effect is that spiritual power will be consumed quickly. Of course, the strength improvement of this level is not that great.

But in the second gear, this increase will increase suddenly, because the second gear of the demon disintegration burns the cultivator's essence and blood. Excessive consumption of essence and blood will damage the cultivator's foundation. However, there are ways to make up for the consumption of essence and blood.

Only when you reach the third level, there is no turning back once you use it. First of all, there are realm requirements for using the third level, and the lowest level you need to be in is the Golden Core realm.

Because the third gear is to directly burn the cultivator's golden elixir in exchange for power beyond one's own limit. But the golden elixir is the foundation of the cultivator's Taoism. Once it is burned, even if you don't die, you will lose all your cultivation and become a useless person.

However, this forbidden technique of disintegrating the devil has a fourth level. If there is still a chance of survival after performing the third level, then performing the fourth level will surely lead to death.

The fourth stage of the demon's disintegration is burning the cultivator's soul. Once the soul is burned out, even gods cannot save it.

"It's not that I can't practice!"

Gu Mo carefully examined the forbidden technique of Heavenly Demon Disintegration and had to admit that it was indeed excellent that it could become a classic in the magic world.

At least the first two gears can be used as explosive secret techniques. If you have to fight to the death, the last two gears can be used. At least you have to bite the enemy even if you die.

Especially for the third stage of the disintegration of the Heavenly Demon, Gu Mo had some thoughts in his mind, because there were 12 sword pills in Gu Mohua's body. For other Jindan cultivators, if the only golden pill in their body burned, they would at least lose all their cultivation, and in serious cases, they would die directly.

But there are 12 sword pills in Gu Mo's body. Burning one sword pill will not seem to have much impact. This can be used as a last-ditch killing move.

As long as Gu Mo does not burn all 12 sword pills, his cultivation level will not fall. Of course, burning the sword pills will lead to the weakening of his own foundation, which should be unavoidable.

It is possible that Gu Mo could use the third gear of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration, which means he is definitely in a life-and-death crisis. In this case, it is obviously more important to keep this incarnation. In addition, this is the forbidden Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique that Gu Mo obtained in the Tianjiao Battle. If he practices this forbidden magic technique, the righteous side will not pursue it. Otherwise, if a righteous cultivator practices the forbidden magic technique, he will easily be labeled as a spy of the Demon Sect.

This is just like the Sword Intent Stone that the leader of the Baihua Sect gave to Gu Mo before. With the Sword Intent Stone, even if he has obtained the permission of the Yin-Yang Sword Sect, he can use the Yin-Yang Sword Intent without being held accountable.

Any skills and secret techniques that appear in the current battle of geniuses come with such permission. If a genius of the Demon Sect obtains the righteous skills and secret techniques, they can practice and display them openly.

As for some evil skills that will lead to falling into the devil's way once practiced, that is naturally impossible. The arrangement of rewards for the battle of geniuses has been agreed upon by both the good and evil sides. Only recognized skills and secret techniques can be included as rewards.

Although the Heavenly Demon Disintegration is a forbidden magic technique, it does not affect the cultivator's state of mind and will not cause people to fall into the devil's way.

"Find a place to comprehend it!"

Gu Mo put away the jade slip, ready to comprehend this forbidden magic technique. With 12 sword pills in his possession, Gu Mo could unleash greater combat power than other cultivators by practicing this forbidden technique.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Gu Mo raised his head and looked into the distance. Suddenly, a thick dark cloud appeared in the distant sky.

"It's Jie Yun!"

The moment he saw the dark clouds, Gu Mo recognized that they were not ordinary dark clouds, but calamity clouds, which meant that someone was about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

If he chooses to break through on this island, if it succeeds, then the opponent will be at the Nascent Soul stage and will be able to face everyone.

The cultivation level limit for this battle of geniuses is Golden Core, but this limit only applies to the cultivation level when entering the island. However, if a genius who has reached the Great Perfection of Golden Core chooses to break through after entering the island, then this rule will not limit him.

“It’s the true teaching of the devil’s way. There’s a true teaching of the devil’s way preparing to impact the Nascent Soul stage!” In the outside world, everyone also discovered the calamity cloud for the first time.

To break through to a higher realm, one generally needs to make sufficient preparations, find a place where one will not be disturbed, and choose to break through in an environment like a battle of geniuses. The risks are extremely huge.

But there was no way. The strength displayed by Gu Mo's incarnation brought too much pressure to the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect could only use some trump cards. This temporary breakthrough was one of the Demon Sect's trump cards.

Although this move is extremely risky, if it succeeds, it will also gain huge advantages. At that time, not only can Gu Mo be eliminated, but also some of the true disciples of the righteous path can be killed.

"Stop them!"

Just as he was about to go look for Gu Mo's righteous teachings, he saw that the Demon Sect's true teachings were about to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, so he immediately turned around and headed towards where the calamity cloud was.

Those true disciples of the top sects have the confidence to face ordinary Nascent Soul True Lords, but if it is a Nascent Soul that has broken through from a true disciple of the same top sect, its strength is far beyond what those Nascent Soul True Lords born in ordinary sects can compare to.

Since the true disciples of the righteous sect wanted to cause destruction, the true disciples of the natural devil sect also quickly gathered together to try to stop them.

All of a sudden, the top true disciples of both the good and the evil sides quickly gathered together and entered into a stalemate. At this moment, as long as there was a spark, it would trigger a fight between the true disciples.

Faced with this impending storm, the other geniuses chose to watch from a distance. It was really a contest of this level that they could not get involved at all.

“Go and have a look!”

Gu Mo called Ming Yueyue and went to where the calamity cloud was. He wanted to see who was undergoing the calamity. If it was someone from the Demon Sect, he would sabotage it. If it was someone from his side, he would help.

However, this place is quite far from the calamity cloud, which is at the edge of the island. Even if Gu Mo runs at full speed, it will take an hour to get there. I hope it won't be too late.

"Boom!"

After brewing for a while, the calamity cloud dropped a blinding bolt of lightning, striking the blurry figure that was protected behind by the Demon Sect's true disciple.

"Take action and disrupt the spiritual energy here. We can't let the other party successfully transcend the tribulation." With the true teachings of the righteous way speaking, they could not get close to the person who was transcending the tribulation, otherwise, they would be dragged in as well. Then, even they who were in the great perfection stage of the golden elixir would be forced to transcend the tribulation.

But there are many ways to cause sabotage, especially at such a critical juncture of a breakthrough, the slightest disturbance can cause the breakthrough to fail.

Even if it is the true teaching, there is still a high probability of failure in overcoming the Nascent Soul Tribulation, not to mention at this moment, when they are causing trouble.

The Demon Sect's true disciples were unable to stop this. After all, if they wanted to stop it, they would need to join forces with the righteous sect's true disciples, which would make the surrounding spiritual energy even more chaotic.

All the Demon Sect's true disciples can do at this moment is to prevent the long-range attacks of the righteous sect and directly hinder the person who is undergoing the tribulation. As for their actions of disrupting the spiritual energy, they can only ignore them.

"what!!"

As the surrounding spiritual energy was stirred, the Demon Sect's true disciple who was undergoing the tribulation was indeed affected. This was only the third thunder tribulation, and the opponent was already unable to hold on.

"Something's wrong!"

But this did not make the true disciples of the righteous path feel happy. Instead, they felt a little alert. As the true disciples of a top sect, how could they not be able to withstand the third heavenly thunder? Even if there was interference from the outside world, with their foundation, it would not be a problem for them to withstand six or seven heavenly thunders.

Without this level of strength and foundation, how can you have the nerve to claim to be a true master?

"No, that person is not a true disciple of the Demon Sect!"

A true disciple of Taiqing Sect said in a deep voice. At this moment, his eyes were emitting a hazy light. He must have used a special pupil technique to see through the origin of the blurry figure.

"what!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. The one who was undergoing the tribulation at this moment was not the true disciple of the Demon Sect, then...

Immediately, several true disciples of the righteous sect quickly glanced at the true disciples of the Demon Sect who were confronting them. At this moment, the true disciples of the Demon Sect were missing one person, and everyone thought that the missing person was the one who was undergoing the tribulation.

But the one who is undergoing the tribulation now is not the true disciple of the Demon Sect, so what is the disappeared person doing?
Suddenly, everyone turned their eyes to the distance. In that far place, almost at the other end of the island, dark clouds appeared again.

"This is fake!"

At this moment, everyone understood the Demon Sect's plan. They were using a fake one as bait to lure them over, and then, they would really make a breakthrough on the other side of the island.

The island is huge, and it would take at least five or six hours to cross it, and this time is definitely enough for the other party to complete a breakthrough. In other words, even if they turn around and rush over now, it would be too late.
