The refinement of the Black Iron Armor could be absorbed into the body and nurtured, increasing the refinement process bit by bit. Chu Mu, on the other hand, was trying out the two steps of putting on the armor.
Although it would take ten breaths to put on the armor after the refinement, it could be shortened if he continued to refine it. He could also put on the armor at the right time.
After cultivating for dozens of times, Chu Mu tried to deepen the refinement, but the effect was not obvious.
A few days later, he came out of seclusion. Due to the refinement of the armor, his essence, qi, and spirit seemed to have improved a little.
He told Jiang Tao to prepare the name cards and send them to the nine Divine Children's floating islands first.
Sending the name cards first was a formal visit. After all, Chu Mu was a newcomer. It was a form of etiquette to formally visit the Divine Children one by one.
Jiang Tao quickly prepared the name cards and sent them over one by one.
The first Divine Child, Guan Lin, the second Divine Child, Murong Chengfeng, the third Divine Child, Tuoba Zhan, and the seventh Divine Child, Luo Qiushan, were cultivating in seclusion. The fourth Divine Child, Li Yue, the fifth Divine Child, Lin Yiming, and the sixth Divine Child, Cang Lei, had entered the Nirvana Secret Realm. The eighth Divine Child, Luo Qiushan, was not in his temple. Only the ninth Divine Child, Feng Guohai, received the name card.
It could not be helped that they were either cultivating in seclusion or not. However, Chu Mu had already sent the name cards. He had done his part in the etiquette, so there was nothing to be picky about.
Since Feng Guohai was here, he would pay him a visit.
Among the Divine Children, the one who had the best relationship with Chu Mu was undoubtedly the ninth Divine Child, Feng Guohai. They had met several times in the trial world, and it was Feng Guohai who had suggested that he join the Sword Light Team.
He left Zhen Tian's floating island immediately. He boarded a small starship that belonged to the Zhen Tian Temple and flew quickly to Feng Guohai's floating island. Feng Guohai's floating island was called Wind Ocean Floating Island. It was also one of the many floating islands around the main temple's Sword God's floating island. It was quite a distance away from Chu Mu's floating island.
However, this starship was very fast. It didn't take long for Chu Mu to arrive at the floating island in the Sea of Wind.
"You are?" Chu Mu's starship had just docked when Feng Guohai's sword guard came forward immediately.
"I am Chu Mu," Chu Mu said.
"Greetings, Your Highness, the tenth Son of God." The Sword Guards bowed and said, "Ninth Shenzi has received Tenth Shenzi's name card. Tenth Shenzi, please follow me."
Feng Guohai's voice rang out as soon as he entered the Wind Ocean Godly Palace.
"Chu Mu, do you still remember what I said the other day?" Feng Guohai walked towards him, chuckling.
Chu Mu thought about it. Indeed, Feng Guohai had said that they would meet again before they left the trial world, and that it wouldn't be long. Now that he thought about it, it was true.
"Congratulations on becoming the tenth Son of God." A gentle voice rang out from the side. Chu Mu looked over and saw that it was the eighth Son of God, Liancheng Yu. It turned out that he had come all the way here.
"Eighth Son of God, Ninth Son of God." Chu Mu saluted with his sword in a formal manner.
"Alright, alright. You're the tenth Son of God now. We're good brothers," Feng Guohai said. When they first met, Chu Mu thought that Feng Guohai was a little aloof. However, they gradually got familiar with each other, especially now that Chu Mu had become a Son of God as well. In terms of status and talent, Chu Mu was on par with Feng Guohai. Only then did Chu Mu realize that Feng Guohai's personality was more easy-going.
Of course, easy-going was relative. Feng Guohai couldn't be expected to be so friendly to a stranger, especially one who could be killed with a flick of his finger.
"Be more casual in the future," Liancheng Yu said.
"Brother Liancheng, Brother Feng," Chu Mu called out.
"That's more like it. Hmm, I haven't seen you for a while and your cultivation base has reached the peak of the ninth star," Feng Guohai said in surprise.
Chu Mu realized that Feng Guohai's cultivation base had reached the peak of the ninth star as well. So had Liancheng Yu.
"With this, the three of us can join forces," Liancheng Yu said.
"That's right." Feng Guohai nodded.
"Join forces?" Chu Mu didn't understand.
"Our current cultivation base has reached the peak of the Creation Realm. If we want to improve, we have to break through the realm and reach the Nirvana Realm." Feng Guohai said, "If we want to break through to the Nirvana Realm, we have to have sufficient Nirvana Qi to allow our bodies to undergo nirvana successfully. Once we reach the Nirvana Realm and enter the Nirvana Secret Realm, we'll be able to obtain the Nirvana Qi quickly."
Chu Mu understood immediately.
There were Nirvana Beasts in the Nirvana Secret Realm. Killing the Nirvana Beasts would allow one to collect the Nirvana Qi. Only after absorbing the Nirvana Qi would one be able to break through to the Nirvana Realm.
Although it wasn't the time for Chu Mu, Liancheng Yu, or Feng Guohai to break through to the Nirvana Realm, it didn't stop them from entering the Nirvana Secret Realm to hunt Nirvana Beasts and collect the Nirvana Qi.
If they had sufficient Nirvana Qi, they could break through now as well. However, it would be more beneficial for their future cultivation if they spent more time consolidating their cultivation base before breaking through.
Besides, it wasn't easy to break through to the Nirvana Realm. The more stable and solid one's cultivation base was, the higher the success rate.
"Why don't we depart now and enter the Nirvana Secret Realm?" Liancheng Yu suggested.
Feng Guohai agreed immediately while Chu Mu had no objections.
They activated the Teleportation Formation in Feng Guohai's divine palace and headed to the Teleportation Hall of the Main God Palace. After leaving the Teleportation Hall, they went straight to the Nirvana Hall. The entrance to the Nirvana Secret Realm was in the Nirvana Hall.
The Nirvana Secret Realm was one of the sacred cultivation grounds of the Heavenly Sword Hall. It was an open secret realm where every Heavenly Sword Hall had an entrance. Basically, any swordsman of the Main God Palace could enter. However, swordsmen whose cultivation base had surpassed the Creation Realm could not enter. The Nirvana Secret Realm's purpose was to allow swordsmen who were preparing to break through to the Nirvana Realm to obtain the Nirvana Qi. It prevented swordsmen of the Nirvana Realm from entering to obtain the Nirvana Qi and sell it to Creation Realm swordsmen.
At the same time, it was an experience for the Creation Realm swordsmen. It was best to rely on one's own ability to break through to the Nirvana Realm. If one's ability was insufficient, it was better not to break through.
Most swordsmen who wanted to enter the Nirvana Secret Realm to hunt Nirvana Beasts had to pay a corresponding amount of military merit. The amount of military merit was considerable, but higher-ups of the Heavenly Sword Hall like Chu Mu did not need to pay. It was considered a benefit.
The Nirvana Hall was managed by a deacon as well. After greeting Chu Mu and the other two God's Children, the entrance to the Nirvana Secret Realm was opened.
"Let's go," Feng Guohai shouted and led the way into the Nirvana Secret Realm.
…
The Nirvana Secret Realm was a small world created by the Heavenly Sword Hall's experts. Its purpose was to obtain the Nirvana Qi.
Once they entered the Nirvana Secret Realm, Chu Mu and the other two could feel that the aura here was different from the outside world. Other than the Qi of heaven and earth, there was an additional aura that they had never felt before.
This kind of strange aura fluctuation gave people a feeling of being reborn, but it was very, very faint.
"Is this the Nirvana Qi?" Lian Chengyu asked.
"It's too faint. Although it can be collected, the efficiency is too low." Feng Guohai tried to extract the Nirvana Qi in the air, but the efficiency was very low.
"Let's kill the Nirvana Beasts. It should be faster," Chu Mu said.
"Killing the Nirvana Beasts and collecting the Nirvana Qi will definitely be faster." Feng Guohai smiled and said, "Let's go. Let's find the Nirvana Beasts to kill."
The Nirvana Secret Realm was huge because every Creation Realm swordsman of the Heavenly Sword Hall was qualified to enter. It was specially created for the purpose of collecting Nirvana Qi for swordsmen. The Nirvana Beasts inside were endless. Even if they were killed, they would be reborn somewhere else. In short, there was no need to worry about killing all the Nirvana Beasts in the Nirvana Secret Realm.
In addition, most of the swordsmen had to pay a hefty amount of military merit to enter, so there was an additional restriction. There would not be a situation where a large group of people would enter as they wished, effectively controlling the death rate of the Nirvana Beasts. It was basically the same as the rate of rebirth, so the Nirvana Beasts would not die too quickly and cause those who entered the Nirvana Secret Realm to be unable to find any Nirvana Beasts to kill.
Liancheng, Feng Guohai, and Chu Mu worked together and advanced swiftly in search of the Nirvana Beasts.
Not long after, they encountered a Nirvana Beast.
The shape of the Nirvana Beast was not fixed. It could have the shape of a Spirit Beast, or it could have the shape of a tree, or it could have all kinds of strange shapes.
The first Nirvana Beast they encountered was a tree, a tree that was more than ten meters tall. The tree had many branches and patches of dark green leaves. The leaves were half the size of a palm, oval in shape and densely serrated at the edges.
The dark brown tree trunk exuded a strange aura. It was the aura of Nirvana Qi.
"Kill!" With a low growl, Feng Guohai drew his sword. The sword light was like a gust of sea breeze, stirring up waves that rolled towards the tree with a loud rumble.
Liancheng Yu drew his sword as well. The Sword Light was the color of jade. With a slash, the jade-colored sword light sliced through the air like it was cutting through jade.
Chu Mu's Five Phase Swords were unsheathed. Using the power of Qi cultivation, the silver-white Sword Light flashed, slicing through the air and slicing towards the Tree Spirit.
The attack of three nine-star pinnacle Sword Of Gojoseon, and an attack with the strength of a Divine Child, was terrifying. Even a true Nirvana Realm swordsman would not dare underestimate it.
The Tree Spirit retaliated. A few of its branches shook and lashed out like iron whips. Cracking sounds rang out as the dark brown light shattered Chu Mu and the other two's Sword Light.
Then, with a shake, jagged leaves shot out amidst rustling noises.
That leaf was incomparably sharp, and its speed was also extremely fast. In an instant, it shot before the three of them, causing them to be greatly shocked, and even more so, they felt a sense of horror.
There was no need for words. The three of them cooperated tacitly, spreading out and swinging their swords to shatter the leaves. Each time they shattered a leaf, they felt a strong rebounding force, almost causing their swords to fly out of their hands.
The three of them were shocked. They did not expect the Nirvana Beast's ability to be so powerful.
The three of them attacked the Tree Spirit from three different directions. The Tree Spirit's branches came from different directions, as if a peerless swordsman was performing an unfathomable swordsmanship with shocking power.
