"I'm Lian Hongyun, what's your name?" After the genius in the fiery red armor collected the void energy and treasures of the elite seventh rank void beast, his sharp gaze pierced through the sparse leaves and landed on Chu Mu's face like two streaks of sword aura.
"Chu Mu," Chu Mu replied indifferently.
After knowing his name, Chu Mu knew that he was ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ascension List.
Fifth and he was already so powerful. It seemed that the ranking on the Heavenly Ascension List was only based on talent points and not the actual ranking of strength. Chu Mu did not have the confidence to block the Eight Swords of the Heavenly Gate.
However, the Eight Swords of the Heavenly Gate was most likely a fortuitous encounter of Lian Hongyun and not his own creation. Otherwise, his talent points should be above Ye Futian's.
If Lian Hongyun was already so powerful, then how powerful would Yang Zhantian, Qin Aoxian, and Gu Luankong, who was always at the top of the ranking, be?
Just thinking about it made Ye Futian's blood boil.
"There will definitely be a battle between you and me, but not now," Lian Hongyun said. Although he had the desire to battle, he suppressed it and did not want to fight with Chu Mu here and now.
Chu Mu also nodded and the two of them passed each other.
However, they remembered each other and left a deep impression in their hearts.
…
Moving, killing and comprehending.
Chu Mu's strength kept increasing and he was about to comprehend the eighth force of the Eight Forces of True Martial Arts. There were good improvements in all aspects.
The gap between the Sixth and Seventh Levels of Heaven was even bigger.
The strength of the Sixth Level of Heaven was three hundred and twenty thousand pounds, while the strength of the Seventh Level of Heaven was six hundred and forty thousand pounds. There was a double difference. Moreover, there was another important aspect, which made it harder to improve.
The higher the level of the Empty Beast, the fewer the number of Empty Beasts and the wider their territory. It was also harder to hunt them. Under all these factors, the efficiency of obtaining Rank 7 Empty Energy was ten times or even ten times lower than Rank 6 Empty Energy. It was even harder.
Now, the top ten geniuses on the Heavenly Ascension List had basically broken through to the Sixth Level of Dual Cultivation. However, even Gu Luankong, who was ranked first, was still a long way from the Seventh Level of Heaven.
At this point, the cultivation of Qi was important, but other aspects were also very important.
After entering the Seventh Celestial Layer, the balance between cultivation and other aspects would be broken, and the importance of cultivation would be further reduced. After all, at that time, the time required to increase cultivation would be longer and longer, and the resources required would also be more and more.
Chu Mu continued to advance, searching for Void Beasts to kill. Other than Lian Hongyun, he had also encountered another demonic genius who was ranked in the top ten of the Heaven Ascension List. He had also witnessed the demonic sword skills of that demonic genius, further broadening his horizons.
Time slowly passed, and Chu Mu's own accumulation continued to deepen and become more and more profound.
Grade-7 Faux Beasts possessed boundless beast energy and possessed powerful beast skills. The might of those beast skills was astonishing. Battling with a grade-7 Faux Beast and personally experiencing the might of those beast skills could also increase one's accumulation.
All in all, everything could be used as an accumulation to broaden his horizons.
Sometimes, Chu Mu would not fight with the Void Beasts. Instead, he would sit on the cliff and watch the scenery below while comprehending.
Sometimes, he would sit cross-legged in the forest and feel the fluctuations of the wind, feeling the exuberant vitality.
Sometimes, he would stand beside the river and watch the gurgling water. He felt calm and peaceful, as if he had become a part of it.
The Five Elements Force had reached the Small Success Stage, allowing Chu Mu to have a clearer sense and comprehension of things related to the Five Elements Force.
The Five Elements Force, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, were all included.
After continuous battles and comprehension, Chu Mu finally comprehended the last Force of the Eight Forces of True Martial and could truly cultivate it.
Due to continuous accumulation, and based on the two great foundations of the War Tiger Steps and Swimming Dragon Steps, Chu Mu had created a new and more advanced footwork. It was a Grade-5 footwork that had merged the essence of the War Tiger Steps and Swimming Dragon Steps. He had then expanded and extended the foundation of these two footwork to create this Grade-5 footwork.
The Grade-5 footwork was called the Dragon Tiger Fierce Dipper Steps!
After creating this footwork, Chu Mu had received 16,000 Genius Points.
The appearance of the Dragon Tiger Fierce Dipper Steps had further improved Chu Mu's strength. The Dragon Tiger Fierce Dipper Steps would not only allow Chu Mu's aura to soar and become more tyrannical, but it would also allow Chu Mu's footwork to become more flexible.
Alternating between flexibility and violence would make it difficult for the opponent to adapt.
After comprehending the stars at night, Chu Mu had created a new footwork based on the original footwork. It was a Grade-5 footwork and was called the Flying Star Chasing Moon.
The Flying Star Chasing Moon was different from the Stepping Leaves Rippling Wave. The Stepping Leaves Rippling Wave focused more on raising one's Qi and making one's footwork lighter. On the other hand, the Flying Star Chasing Moon focused on speed, like a meteor flashing across the sky.
Having the Flying Star Chasing Moon didn't mean that Chu Mu wouldn't use the Stepping Leaves Rippling Wave.
The Flying Star Chasing Moon had also given Chu Mu 16,000 Genius Points.
Chu Mu's Genius Points had increased to 234,000 Genius Points. However, he was still ranked third. Unless he could increase his Genius Points by tens of thousands, he would have a chance to surpass Qin Aoxian and take second place.
Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry. Apart from trying his best to increase his cultivation, he also paid attention to his own accumulation. When the time was right, he would have a breakthrough in one go.
He had an idea in his mind, which was to create a sword technique that was more powerful than the Avici Purgatory. The Avici Purgatory was a Grade-4 sword technique. If it was more powerful than the Avici Purgatory, it would naturally be a Grade-5 or Grade-6 sword technique or even higher.
However, the higher the level of the sword technique, the more difficult it would be to create it. This was different from footwork and footwork. The difficulty of creating a sword technique was higher than footwork and footwork.
Chu Mu comprehended the Power of Heaven and Earth and especially revolved around the Power of the Five Elements. He also had his own ideas. The Power of the Five Elements could be used to create a Grade-5 sword technique. It was quite suitable.
Every day, Chu Mu would also comprehend the Sword Will.
The Sword Will was the foundation. He couldn't give it up or fall behind.
However, it was difficult to improve the Sword Will. Now, under Chu Mu's continuous comprehension, his Sword Will had finally reached the peak of Minor Completion. He was only one step away from Dacheng. It was only a thin line. It seemed like it could be broken with a poke. However, it was incomparably tough. Only by comprehending it could one break through it. Otherwise, no matter how hard one tried, it would be useless. One would be stuck at the peak of Minor Completion, unable to go any further.
At night, Chu Mu was cultivating the eighth of the Eight Forces of True Martial – the Force of the Golden Roc Spreading Wings.
He opened his arms and raised them. He was like a golden roc spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.
Legend had it that the golden roc could spread its wings for 30,000 miles. It was unparalleled.
Under the Force of the Golden Roc Spreading Wings, Chu Mu felt that his body and Internal Qi were constantly being tempered. The effect was very obvious. They were constantly improving and strengthening.
Every monstrous talent was working hard to accumulate. When they had accumulated to a certain extent, they would break out and comprehend something. They would create something to strengthen their foundation, enhance their strength, and increase their talent points. They would work hard to compete for a place on the Heaven Ascension List.
The top ten monstrous geniuses, on average, were constantly improving. Therefore, their genius points were constantly increasing. Gradually, the gap between them and the other geniuses grew wider and wider. However, there were very few changes in their rankings. Often, they would stay where they were, and it was extremely difficult for them to surpass a higher ranking.
The elders of the General Divine Hall saw that Chu Mu's ranking had been maintained at the third place on the Heaven Ascension List for quite a long time. Moreover, his talent points were constantly increasing. Finally, they breathed a sigh of relief and their hearts fell back to their original position.
The night passed quickly. The cultivation effect was obvious. Chu Mu felt obvious progress. Whether it was Qi Cultivation or Body Cultivation, he had improved a lot.
…
The Internal Qi was poured into the Red Blood Sword, which was already shining with a strange light, adding a layer of hazy luster. The Internal Qi of the Sixth-level Heaven could be poured into the sword for a long time. It could strengthen the sword's toughness and sharpness for a long time.
The Red Blood Sword, under Chu Mu's constant killing of Void Beasts and absorption of their Essence and Blood, evolved again and became a Level Six Void Spirit Sword.
After reaching Level Six, the Red Blood Sword's sharpness was even more amazing. Its reverse nurturing ability was also more obvious.
With the addition of the Basic Level Sword Comprehension and the Internal Qi of the Sixth-level Heaven, it could better cut through the skin of an ordinary Level Seven Void Beast.
When the sword was drawn, the hazy sword-light was somewhat demonic and somewhat dazzling. The sword cut through the sky and charged toward a Grade-7 Virtual Beast that was dozens of meters away.
With a swoosh, the Sword Light was like a meteor that cut through the darkness of the sky. It arrived in a flash and killed the beast.
As various forces reached the Basic Level, the Night Meteor, a Level Three Sword Technique, also reached the Basic Level. Its power was several times stronger.
The level of the sword technique determined the level of the sword technique. However, some low-level sword techniques were more powerful than high-level sword techniques. Firstly, it determined the level of the sword technique's cultivation. For example, the beginner level was weaker than the Basic Level. Secondly, it depended on the strength of the person who performed the sword technique.
The Night Meteor at the Basic Level was not weaker than an ordinary Level Four Sword Technique.
On this day, Chu Mu sat on a huge rock with the Red Blood Sword on his knees. He put his hands on the Red Blood Sword and carefully felt it.
The Moonlight Sword was a Level Three Sword. Under the moonlight, it was a Level Four Sword. It could not keep up. Chu Mu had not obtained a better sword. The Red Blood Sword had been following him. Every time he carried it, it increased his comprehension.
Today, Chu Mu felt that he had reached the peak of the Basic Level Sword Comprehension. It was time to break through the Dacheng Sword Comprehension.
He communicated with the Red Blood Sword. Since he had obtained it, the Red Blood Sword had never been replaced. Moreover, it had sucked blood time and time again. The connection between Chu Mu and the Red Blood Sword had become closer. He felt the composition of the sword, the fluctuation of the sword, and the sharpness of the sword.
Gradually, Chu Mu fell into a state of comprehension. Around him, traces of invisible but real sharpness appeared. The sharpness was like silk. It wandered around Chu Mu's body and cut the air.
