The sea of clouds was endless, vast and boundless. Between the rolling waves, it was like a vast ocean. As the sun set, the afterglow of the setting sun shone, covering the rolling white sea of clouds with a layer of dark red gauze.
Chu Mu sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, facing the sea of clouds. The Five Phase Swords were placed flat on his legs. His eyes reflected the sea of clouds and were also covered with a layer of afterglow as he fell into deep thought.
The strength of a true disciple of the Five Elements Sword Sect was indeed not something an ordinary Sword Of Gojoseon could compare to. That Cao Wang's strength was several times stronger than Zhou Huapeng's. If it wasn't for the obvious increase in his strength during this period of time, he probably wouldn't be Cao Wang's opponent.
After defeating Cao Wang, Chu Mu instead felt a sense of crisis. Because he truly felt the strength of a true disciple of an overlord sword sect. Cao Wang was like that, and then he thought of Ning Zhongtian, who was also a peak five star Sword Of Gojoseon, and was able to defeat an early six star Sword Of Gojoseon's true disciple. His strength was even more shocking.
Even if Ning Zhongtian hadn't broken through to the level of a six star Sword Of Gojoseon, Chu Mu also felt that he wasn't Ning Zhongtian's opponent. The difference in their cultivation was too great.
Moreover, the opponents he would encounter in the future would only be stronger. He had to increase his strength at a faster speed without any side effects.
Increasing his cultivation was a must. Increasing his sword skills and other aspects was also a must. Strength was the combination of everything. A single increase would cause an obvious shortcoming.
Cultivation methods were like this, unless there was a powerful elixir. But the contribution points were just too shocking.
In the short term, Ning Zhongtian was his greatest enemy, a strong enemy. He didn't know when he would return. Once he returned, he would definitely make a move on him.
Thinking of when Ning Zhongtian would return, Chu Mu's mind flashed. The place Ning Zhongtian went to was called the Swordless Purgatory.
In the ancient records he obtained, there were records of the Swordless Purgatory.
In each of the four major galaxies of the human race, there were three secret spaces called the Three Great Purgatories. It was said that during the era of the gods, the Sword God of the human race used his divine power to create them. When the gods fell in the great war, the Three Great Purgatories seemed to have disappeared. After the passage of time, they were found by the Sword God Hall again and built a portal.
The three great purgatories were the Hundred Battles Purgatory, the Ten Thousand Laws Purgatory, and the Swordless Purgatory. Different purgatories had different characteristics.
In every galaxy, there was a planet with life, called the Purgatory Planet. This Purgatory Planet was the entrance to the Three Great Purgatories.
And within the overlord sects of each solar system, there was a stargate that could be used to teleport directly to the Purgatory Planet. True disciples had one free teleportation opportunity. Personal disciples also had one free teleportation opportunity.
According to the records in the ancient records, the Hundred Battles Purgatory was a place to fight with all one's strength. It was the best place to train one's combat skills, improve one's combat talent, and increase one's life and death experience. The Ten Thousand Laws Purgatory was the best place to cultivate the power of heaven and earth. The Swordless Purgatory was the best place to cultivate sword skills.
It was said that if one could pass through the Swordless Purgatory or comprehend the essence of sword skills, they would be able to master sword energy. Sword energy was extremely useful to swordsmen.
Ning Zhongtian's purpose in coming to the Swordless Purgatory was also for sword energy. However, sword energy was not so easy to master.
"Sword energy …" The records of sword energy in the ancient records flashed through Chu Mu's mind. His eyes suddenly lit up.
If he could master sword energy, it could also improve his strength.
Moreover, if he could master sword energy, he would be rewarded by the Sword Sect.
He got up and left the Sky Dweller, heading straight for the stargate.
After showing his identity sword token and verifying it, Chu Mu stepped into the stargate. Time and space changed and he stepped out of the stargate.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu appeared on the Purgatory Planet.
The Purgatory Planet was a medium life planet. There was a Heavenly Sword Hall. With the Heavenly Sword Hall as the center, it radiated in all directions. There was a human city.
The entrance to the Three Purgatories was outside the Heavenly Sword Hall.
Although there was a city on the Purgatory Planet, no forces other than the Heavenly Sword Hall were allowed to enter. Otherwise, if this force and that force were to enter the Purgatory Planet, wouldn't they occupy the Three Purgatories? Other than the Heavenly Sword Hall, no one could stay here for more than a month unless there was a special reason and they needed to apply to the Heavenly Sword Hall.
The Heavenly Sword Hall was the manager of the Three Purgatories.
The entrances to the Three Purgatories were similar to the entrances to the Five Elements Heaven Pass. They were in the shape of whirlpools, but they were larger. They were like small black holes that could devour everything.
Beside each whirlpool entrance, there was a black sword stele. There were no words on the sword stele. Chu Mu tried to place his palm on the black sword stele beside the entrance to the Swordless Purgatory. Immediately, he was able to see the names. These names were all swordsmen who had passed through the Swordless Purgatory and mastered sword force.
Since ancient times, there had been countless swordsmen who had passed through the Swordless Purgatory in the Night Darkness Galaxy. Although only a small portion of them could master sword force, there were still quite a number of them.
Chu Mu didn't carefully count how many people had passed through the Swordless Purgatory and mastered sword force. He withdrew his consciousness and his palm left the sword stele. He glanced at the whirlpool entrance. After paying a thousand low-grade Origin Pills to the Heavenly Sword Hall staff in charge of managing the whirlpool entrance, he walked towards the whirlpool entrance and stepped in.
He only felt a suction force acting on his body. Soon after, his entire body was sucked into the whirlpool entrance and disappeared.
His body sank. An irresistible force instantly descended from the sky and landed on his body. It penetrated through the top of his head without any hindrance.
Chu Mu only felt that the irresistible force instantly filled his Spiritual World. It directly enveloped his two great Sword Souls and all kinds of power of laws. Even the Sword of Divine Sense that was formed by the power of Divine Sense was also enveloped. Chu Mu actually couldn't sense it.
Sword intent, power of laws, and Divine Sense were all very important to swordsmen. Now, they were all suppressed. He couldn't communicate with them and couldn't use them. His strength had greatly decreased.
Soon after, the force flowed from top to bottom and surged into Chu Mu's body. It circulated in his muscles. Chu Mu felt that the strength of his muscles seemed to have been weakened. The force finally flowed into his Dantian. The powerful Divine Wilderness Sword Origin also seemed to have been tamed and didn't move. Chu Mu also couldn't sense it.
To put it simply, Chu Mu's power of laws, power of laws, Divine Sense, Sword Origin, and even the physique that he was so proud of were all suppressed and weakened.
He couldn't use his power of laws, power of laws, Divine Sense, and Sword Origin. An unprecedented sense of weakness surged throughout his body. Chu Mu knew that it wasn't that he was weak, but that it was because his physique had been weakened.
His original physique was like a cup filled with water. Now that it was weakened, the cup didn't change, but the water in it had decreased a lot.
Chu Mu didn't panic at all because he knew that everyone who entered the Swordless Purgatory would face such a situation. In here, all of their strength would be suppressed and couldn't be used. They could only use sword arts and sword techniques that they had painstakingly trained in.
The Swordless Purgatory cultivated sword arts. It was a pure sword art, a sword art that didn't have any other power added to it.
On the outside, a sword art that didn't incorporate sword intent, Sword Origin, or the power of heaven and earth was just an empty shell. But when one truly grasped it and practiced it deeply, one would understand that it was a sublimation of sword arts. When used, the power would be first class.
The sky of the Swordless Purgatory was dark red and filled with grey clouds. It looked very gloomy and oppressive, making people feel uncomfortable. The ground was also dark red, dry and hard.
Traces of dry heat and cold aura intertwined. It really looked like the upper level of hell, the Purgatory.
Chu Mu didn't know how big the Three Purgatories were. He only knew that the Swordless Purgatory was divided into nine levels. Only after passing through the ninth level would one be able to grasp sword energy.
Now, Chu Mu was on the first level.
The Swordless Purgatory was a secret space opened by the Sword God. It was a world of its own and had its own independent laws. Anyone who entered the Swordless Purgatory could meet here.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Mu held the Five Phases Sword tightly in his left hand. He took a step forward and began his cultivation in the Swordless Purgatory.
Here, one relied on one's sword arts. Everyone's physique was the same. It didn't matter if you were a Creation Realm sword practitioner, a Nirvana Realm sword practitioner, an Eternal Realm sword practitioner, or a sword practitioner who focused on body tempering. There was no difference in treatment here.
All power was suppressed, so naturally, they couldn't fly. Stepping on the dry, dark red ground, Chu Mu soon saw a swaying figure in front of him. It looked like a human, but when he looked closer, it wasn't a human, but a zombie.
They walked slowly on the ground. As Chu Mu approached, a few zombies seemed to smell the scent of a living person. They immediately became active and let out roars.
The zombies that were originally dawdling raised their hands and strode towards Chu Mu.
If these zombies were placed in the outside world, they would be trash. Any Sword Of Gojoseon could kill tens of thousands with a single slash. But in the Swordless Purgatory, all power of a sword practitioner was suppressed. Their strength had decreased by an unknown amount. Facing these zombies, if they weren't careful, it was very likely that they would be killed.
If they were killed here, they would really die.
They were just zombies, and they were just a little ugly. Chu Mu wasn't afraid at all. With a slight push of his feet, he shot forward like an arrow. The Five Phases Sword was unsheathed. The cold Sword Light swept through the dark air, leaving behind a faint trace.
Kill!
In Chu Mu's eyes, these zombies weren't nimble at all. Chu Mu easily passed by them. The Five Phases Sword cut through the zombies' necks and beheaded them.
The Five Phases Sword wasn't suppressed, and its sharpness was still astonishing.
After killing the zombies, Chu Mu didn't stop and continued forward. This place was called the Swordless Purgatory. Using the word Purgatory as its name naturally had its purpose, and it was also very practical.
