The Mountain Moving Golden Ape's huge body fell to the ground, its body covered in wounds. Blood flowed out, dyeing the ground red and forming a bloody swamp.
The thing that floated out of the Mountain Moving Golden Ape's body was a ball of light, a golden ball of light.
"There is no Faux Energy …" Chu Mu's tone was filled with shock.
In his imagination, after killing a large Faux Beast, he should be able to obtain Rank 10 Faux Energy. At the very least, he should be able to obtain a strand of Faux Energy. However, there was no such thing. Instead, there was a golden ball of light.
Chu Mu had seen many balls of light before, but this was his first time seeing a golden ball of light.
Stretching out his hand, Xiao Chen grabbed the golden ball of light. Before he touched it, the golden ball of light seemed to be attracted, flying towards him on its own. Startling Chu Mu, the golden ball of light entered Chu Mu's mind at an unimaginable speed. Chu Mu seemed to have been struck by a Body Immobilization Art. He remained motionless with his eyes wide open. After the golden ball of light entered his head, he felt a clear stream of energy flowing down and covering his entire body.
One breath felt like a thousand years. After that, Chu Mu quickly checked his body. There were no changes. He could not help but release his bated breath. However, there were still some doubts in his heart.
Xiao Chen had been here for almost three years. Every time he killed a Faux Beast, the things that appeared would definitely be useful. This time, when the golden ball of light entered his body, there were no changes. This was the first time.
After thinking for a while, Chu Mu could not find any clues, so he put it aside for now.
When the geniuses in the distance saw the terrifying golden ape get killed and saw Chu Mu looking over, they immediately felt their hearts skip a beat. They broke out in a cold sweat, afraid that Chu Mu would come over and kill them.
Some of the stronger experts would indeed do such a thing.
Chu Mu was not a freak, so he would not do such a thing. He only glanced at them before withdrawing his gaze and heading up the mountain.
This mountain was the territory of a large Faux Beast, the Mountain Moving Golden Ape. There were no other Faux Beasts here. Although the Mountain Moving Golden Ape was dead, no other Faux Beasts would come here for a long time, so it was very safe.
After Xiao Chen left, he assumed the stance of a dragon python swallowing the sky to recover his exhausted energy.
…
Similar to Chu Mu, Gu Luankong, Qin Aoxian, and the others had also slain the Greater Illusionary Beasts. Similar to Chu Mu, they also obtained a golden glowing orb, which did not change after absorbing it.
Time passed quickly. Every time he hunted a Faux Beast, every time he cultivated, his cultivation would slowly rise.
Finally, his Qi cultivation had reached the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer. His Qi was only a fine line away from the Tenth Heavenly Layer.
As for the sword intent, because of his hard work, it had reached the peak of Dacheng and was just one step away from perfection. The power of the five elements had also reached the peak of Dacheng and was just one step away from perfection.
Chu Mu decided not to hunt Void Beasts anymore. Even if he killed Great Void Beasts, he would not gain anything. It would be better for him to go into seclusion and break through to the Tenth Heavenly Layer. He would also raise his sword intent and Five Elemental Energy to the Great Circle.
The gap between the Ninth Heavenly Layer and the Tenth Heavenly Layer, Dacheng, and perfection was huge.
Gu Luankong, Qin Aoxian and the other geniuses were also in seclusion to break through. Although Chu Mu was currently ranked first on the Heaven Ascension Ranking, the gap between him and Gu Luankong was very close. Qin Aoxian's gap was not much either.
Time passed quickly as they cultivated in seclusion. Unfortunately, Chu Mu and the others did not get what they wanted in the end.
Xiao Chen's cultivation was still at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer. His sword intent was still at the peak of Dacheng and his power of the five elements was still at the peak of Dacheng. It was not that Xiao Chen did not want to break through, he had found the opportunity to do so. However, the time was up.
The time limit of three years in the Azure Sky Illusionary World was up.
Chu Mu could feel himself floating up. It was as light as a feather, as if he was riding the wind. He turned into a wisp of smoke. Looking down, he saw a body sitting cross-legged. It was very familiar. It was his body, and what floated up was his soul.
When his soul left his body, the strong power in his body gradually disappeared. The sword intent and the power of the five elements in his spiritual world also disappeared.
The body in the Azure Sky Illusionary World was built by the power of the Azure Sky Illusionary World. It did not belong to Xiao Chen.
Although he was reluctant, he had to leave. After thinking about it, Chu Mu calmed down.
When his soul left his body, it lost all kinds of power and floated up. His memories disappeared bit by bit. It was not in a sequence, it was random. These memories were all the experiences in the three years in the Azure Sky Illusionary World. They were all the killings, conflicts, comprehensions, and everything.
Chu Mu was unwilling. Some of these memories were useless, but some were very precious. They were very useful to him. If they disappeared, it would be a pity. Although he was unwilling, he was powerless to stop it.
He personally felt the memories disappear bit by bit. A sense of helplessness emerged. Those memories seemed to be swallowed by the darkness. At this moment, a golden light appeared from the depths. Everywhere it passed, the darkness retreated.
Chu Mu felt that the golden light was very familiar. He thought of the golden ball of light that he had obtained after killing the Mountain Moving Golden Ape. When it entered his body, it did not change. He did not expect that it would be useful now. He could not help but feel lucky.
The darkness retreated and the golden light also disappeared. His memories finally stopped disappearing. However, a portion of them still disappeared while a portion remained. Chu Mu didn't even have the time to check what memories had disappeared and what memories remained when his soul entered the spatial whirlpool. The world spun and his consciousness fell into chaos. He couldn't feel anything.
…
Within the Five Elements Sword Sect, within the secret realm, within the layers of powerful seals, Chu Mu sat cross-legged without moving. His eyes were tightly shut, and the aura on his body was extremely faint. There was also a faint aura of death. As time passed, the aura of death slowly became denser.
Suddenly, his eyelids trembled slightly. His eyes opened and shot out a sharp light. It pierced through the void and left two faint silver trails.
The deathly aura on his body rapidly dissipated as life force swiftly spread out and filled the surroundings. His heart beat powerfully, while the Wood Avatar Essence that was rooted in his heart continuously spread wave after wave of life force throughout his body, causing his body, which had been dormant for a long time, to gradually awaken.
Three years in the Azure Sky Illusionary World was equivalent to two or three months in the outside world. During this period, the soul left the body and the body would enter a dormant state. If it was too long, it might even decay. Unless one's cultivation broke through to the Eternal Ancient Realm, the body would be able to maintain Vitality for a long time.
A few months was still within the acceptable range for a Nirvana Realm swordsman's body.
However, comparing three years in the Azure Sky Illusionary World to two or three months in the outside world inevitably made one feel as if time and space were disrupted. It was difficult to adapt for a while. It would take some time for one to fully adapt.
His soul returned to his body. He felt the surging power in his body. It was far more powerful than the body in the Azure Sky Illusionary World that had reached the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer. It was countless times more powerful.
Even if he had reached the Tenth Heavenly Layer and his power had multiplied, it would still be incomparable to his body.
With his soul returning and his body awakening, Chu Mu moved a little. He felt a little awkward. His limbs and body were a little stiff and uncoordinated. This was the aftereffect of his soul leaving his body for a few months. After a period of training, he would be able to recover.
In this secret realm, Chu Mu started to move. First, he slowly waved his arms and moved his legs. When the stiffness and uncoordinated feeling in his body disappeared, he started to practice a fist art. He advanced and retreated according to the rules. His fist was as powerful as a mountain, and his leg was as swift as a sea.
After practicing the fist art, his body recovered further. He drew his sword and practiced the basic sword arts.
He could finally control his body freely. However, Chu Mu knew that this was not enough. He was just re-familiarizing himself with it. It was not thorough enough. This thoroughness could not be completed in a short period of time. He would need a period of time to adapt. He could not force it. Furthermore, he had a feeling that after his control of his body reached its original limit, there was still room for improvement.
Taking a deep breath, the Sky Beheading Sword entered his Dantian to be nourished. The restrictions around him disappeared. One by one, disciples appeared from the restrictions and left the secret realm.
Outside, the Five Elements Sword Sect's Sect Leader, three Vice Sect Leaders, and many elders were waiting. When they saw someone appear, their faces were filled with excitement.
Especially when they saw Chu Mu appear, they were extremely excited. Their faces were flushed red.
The number one on the Galaxy Genius Ranking of the Dark Night Tribe represented a great honor. He was the number one genius of the younger generation in the Dark Night Tribe. Even the geniuses of the older generation could not be compared to him. Even the ruler of the Dark Night Galaxy, the genius of the Dark Night Sword Sect, could not be compared to him.
Just thinking about it made them feel good.
More importantly, Chu Mu not only occupied the number one spot on the Galaxy Genius Ranking, but he also occupied the number one spot on the Heaven Ascension Ranking.
Although the number one spot on the Heaven Ascension Ranking did not mean that Chu Mu would be better than Gu Luankong, Qin Aoxian, and the others, it was a great honor.
Such a person's future achievements were limitless. A group of peerless experts in the future who had the potential to become Great Emperors came from the Five Elements Sword Sect. He was a disciple of the Five Elements Sword Sect.
Thinking of this, even the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sword Sect, Lin Wufang, was extremely excited. When he saw Chu Mu appear, he did not have the aura of a Sect Leader. Instead, he faced someone of the same generation. His attitude surprised Chu Mu, but he could accept it.
However, the treatment that Chu Mu received made the other geniuses jealous. However, they also knew the reason why Chu Mu received such treatment, so they did not feel jealous.
After chatting with the Sect Leader, Vice Sect Leader, and the others for a while, Chu Mu said goodbye.
"Have a good rest. I believe that you will be able to enter the Heaven Youth Ranking in the end." Lin Wufang patted Chu Mu's shoulder and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"I believe that with Chu Mu's ability, it won't be difficult for him to enter the Heaven Youth Ranking. He might even be able to enter the top ten."
"He will definitely be able to enter the top ten."
"Top three is also possible."
"I think it's better to take the number one spot."
