The closing of the Azure Sky Virtual World and the return of the souls of the geniuses caused an uproar.
The people in the outside world could only see the changes in the rankings and genius points on the Galaxy Genius List and the Heaven Ascension List, but they did not know what had happened in the Azure Sky Virtual World. Many people were very curious and asked about it, but to no avail.
Most of the geniuses realized that their memories of the Azure Sky Illusionary World had become very blurry. They only knew that they had entered the Azure Sky Illusionary World and that something had happened. However, they couldn't remember what exactly had happened. They only had a vague impression.
Under such circumstances, they did not know what to say even if they wanted to.
Only the geniuses who had killed the large virtual beast and obtained the golden glowing ball were lucky enough to retain a part of their memories. However, none of them said anything about what had happened in the Azure Sky Virtual World.
After Chu Mu returned to the Zhen Tian Peak, the Zhen Tian Peak had become the most famous peak in the Five Elements Sword Sect. Chu Mu, a swordsman who was only at the First Sky of the Nirvana Realm, had also become the most famous person in the Five Elements Sword Sect. His halo shrouded everyone and no one could compare to him.
Every day, many people came to the Zhen Tian Peak to visit Chu Mu. Not only were there people from the Five Elements Sword Sect, but there were also people from other overlord forces. Their purpose was naturally to befriend Chu Mu, so they brought expensive gifts.
Jiang Bei did not reject these gifts and accepted them all. The disciples of the Zhen Tian Peak were all grinning from ear to ear. They reckoned that in a few days, they would not be able to close their mouths.
Some people who were usually high and mighty in their eyes not only had to be treated politely when they came to the Zhen Tian Peak, but they also had to give gifts and listen to their arrangements. This feeling was unprecedented.
The disciples were a little light-headed. Fortunately, although Jiang Bei was excited, he did not lose his mind. He reminded them many times that although they were happy, they should not forget why they were treated so politely.
Everything was because of Chu Mu.
Without Chu Mu, they were nothing.
There were all kinds of gifts, swords, treasured clothes, treasured armors, Yuan Dan, medicinal pills, spiritual herbs, metals, ores, and so on. In order to be able to befriend Chu Mu, or at least leave a good impression on Chu Mu, these visitors could be said to have spent a lot of effort.
Some visitors even sent beautiful women, which made the people of Jiang Bei speechless.
Unfortunately, they didn't know much about Chu Mu. They didn't know what Chu Mu liked, so it was hard for them to cater to his liking. As for Chu Mu, after returning from the Azure Sky Ethereal World, he still had some memories in his soul. These memories were very useful to him.
After returning to Zhen Tian Peak, Chu Mu went into seclusion. He refused to see anyone, not even a Great Emperor.
Therefore, none of the visitors were able to see Chu Mu. They could only leave their gifts and leave regretfully. However, some of them didn't want to give up until they saw Chu Mu, so they stayed in Zhen Tian Peak.
He was a guest, not to mention that he had brought a valuable gift. Jiang Bei naturally wouldn't chase him away.
…
Inside the Heaven Shaking Palace, Chu Mu sat cross-legged in a secluded cultivation room. His surroundings were dark and there were only traces of halos of light that circled around his body. These were halos of light that came from Chu Mu's body. They were halos of light that belonged to the power within his body.
Chu Mu tried hard to recall everything that had happened in the Azure Sky Ethereal World. He tried to recall all his experiences and insights in the Azure Sky Ethereal World. However, he could only remember a part of it. He had completely forgotten the rest. He couldn't recall it no matter how hard he tried.
During the three years in the Azure Sky Ethereal World, he had fought, comprehended, and gone through all kinds of experiences. It wasn't much, but it wasn't little either. His own comprehensions were especially important and mysterious.
What Chu Mu had learned in the Azure Sky Ethereal World was what he valued the most.
After a round of inspection, Chu Mu discovered that the memories he retained, aside from a few experiences and comprehension, only had knowledge of martial arts. For example, the knowledge of sword techniques, footwork, body techniques, and so on. Moreover, they weren't comprehensive enough. As for the sword techniques, footwork, and body techniques that he had created, most of them had disappeared. What remained were the lowest level ones. To the current him, they weren't of much use.
This was also done intentionally by the power of the Azure Sky Ethereal World. The purpose of the Azure Sky Ethereal World was to evaluate the talent, comprehension, potential, and so on. In other words, it was a genius index and genius points.
The cultivation system in the Azure Sky Ethereal World was different from the cultivation system in the outside world. Although there were similarities between the various comprehensions, there were also conflicts. Erasing those memories was a good thing for most of the geniuses.
In the Azure Sky Ethereal World, Chu Mu had comprehended the Power of Heaven and Earth. It was the Power of the Five Elements. The various comprehensions weren't completely erased. Chu Mu sank into a state of comprehension.
In the Spiritual World, the Power of the Five Elements formed a cycle. It was constantly circulating in a mutually reinforcing manner.
Chu Mu had cultivated the Five Elements Sword Sect's secret technique, the Five Elements Scripture. It allowed the Power of the Five Elements to mutually reinforce and refine each other. After combining the comprehensions of the Azure Sky Ethereal World with the comprehension of the Five Elements Scripture, Chu Mu felt as if he had been enlightened. His understanding of the Five Elements Scripture had deepened.
Suddenly, the Power of the Five Elements shone brightly. Layer by layer, the Power of the Five Elements circulated at a high speed. They refined each other and became increasingly pure.
Originally, Chu Mu's Rules of Gold, Water, Fire, and Wood had all reached the Microscopic Level. Only the Rules of Earth remained at the basic level. However, at this moment, under the rapid circulation of the Power of the Five Elements, the Rules of Earth broke through the barriers without any difficulty and reached the Microscopic Level.
After the Power of the Five Elements had all reached the Microscopic Level, the speed of circulation didn't slow down. Instead, it sped up. It was like a wheel that crushed the Heavens and Earth. The five-colored light shone brightly and filled the entire Spiritual World. It caused all the other powers to pale in comparison.
Chu Mu's mind was completely attracted. He was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.
He felt as if his mind was being absorbed by the five-colored vortex that was spinning at a high speed.
Suddenly, a shocking power spread out from the five-colored vortex and impacted the entire Spiritual World. It caused the Spiritual World to tremble. The rotation of the five-colored vortex gradually slowed down. Chu Mu was pleasantly surprised to find that the Power of the Five Elements had all reached the peak of the Microscopic Level. It was only a step away from the Microscopic Level. It seemed that it could break through at any time.
Among the various Power of the Rules, the Power of the Five Elements was the most profound. Even the Power of the Rules of Space that was constantly refined by the Secret Codex of the Void was inferior.
"As long as the Power of the Five Elements reaches the Microscopic Level, I will be able to cultivate the Five Elements Force Field." Chu Mu was secretly delighted.
His mastery of the Power of the Five Elements had made a huge breakthrough. The other Power of the Rules of Heaven and Earth didn't have any obvious improvement. This was related to Chu Mu's experience in the Azure Sky Void World.
Then, Chu Mu comprehended the Sword Technique.
He stood up and the Sky Beheading Sword appeared in his hand. He started to practice the Sword Technique.
The Sword Technique that he knew in the Azure Sky Void World and the Sword Technique that he knew in the Azure Sky Void World, he absorbed the advantages of each other and supplemented each other. He was like a sponge that was hungry and thirsty, constantly supplementing and perfecting his understanding of the Sword Technique.
He practiced again and again. The Sword Light of the Sky Beheading Sword slashed through the darkness of the secret room again and again. It didn't look orderly. It was like a child holding a tree branch and casually drawing. It was unsightly.
However, every stroke was a combination of Chu Mu's original Sword Technique and the Sword Technique that he knew in the Azure Sky Void World.
Every stroke contained a unique essence. Those who weren't proficient in the Sword Technique would feel that it was simple and crude without any mystery. They would even feel that it was unsightly and scoff at it. However, those who were proficient in the Sword Technique would be deeply attracted and shocked. They would be addicted to it and wouldn't be able to extricate themselves.
Back and forth, Chu Mu didn't know how many strokes he had made. He fused the Sword Technique that he had comprehended in the Azure Sky Void World into it. He felt as if he had broken through some shackles.
He flicked his wrist lightly and the Sky Beheading Sword vibrated. Suddenly, a silver light was activated from the sword body. It flowed on the sword body like water and was extremely sharp.
The sound of the sword breaking through the air was endless.
Sword Force!
"Level Four Sword Force …" Chu Mu was pleasantly surprised.
Before this, his Sword Force had reached Level Three. When he used it, he could increase the power of the Sword Technique by four times. However, the difference between Level Three Sword Force and Level Four Sword Force was huge. It was very difficult for him to achieve a breakthrough. Back then, it had taken him a few years to achieve a breakthrough from Level Two Sword Force to Level Three Sword Force.
Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to achieve a breakthrough from Level Three Sword Force to Level Four Sword Force without at least ten years.
Now, his Sword Force had achieved a breakthrough. It was because Chu Mu had fused the various Sword Techniques that he had comprehended in the Azure Sky Void World.
Level Four Sword Force could increase the power of the Sword Technique by five times.
Every time the power of the Sword Technique doubled, it meant an obvious increase in strength.
This trip to the Azure Sky Void World only took about three months in the outside world. His mastery of the Five Elemental Rules of Order had all reached the peak of the Minute Subtlety. His Sword Force had also broken through from Level Three to Level Four. His strength had obviously increased by a lot. This was a huge gain.
However, Chu Mu felt that he still had room for improvement in a short period of time. Therefore, he still did not come out of seclusion. Until …
The competition for the Heaven Azure List looked at the quality of the geniuses in all aspects and was not something that could be done overnight. The Heaven Azure Void World was only the first stage.
Subsequently, the news spread that the second stage of the competition was about to begin. The condition to participate in the second stage was to be on the Galaxy Genius List during the first stage.
Every department had a Galaxy Genius List. Each Galaxy Genius List had a thousand names. The condition to participate in the second stage was to be on the Galaxy Genius List. This meant that there were only a thousand people in each galaxy who could participate. Compared to the tens of thousands of geniuses in each galaxy in the first stage, a thousand people were very few.
When he had entered the Azure Sky Void World, there had been a three-year period and a nervous urge in his heart to encourage the geniuses to work hard and stimulate their potential.
