Some were happy while others were sad.
Chu Mu had obtained the only spot in the Night Underworld Galaxy and became the only representative candidate to comprehend the third stage of the Heavenly Azure Ranking. This made the Five Elements Sword Sect people so happy that they didn't know where they were going. However, the Night Underworld Sword Sect people were so angry that they wanted to grind their teeth to dust.
Dark Night Galaxy, Dark Night Sword Sect. Since it was so obvious, the Dark Night Sword Sect's disciples should be the representatives. However, that wasn't the case. The Dark Night Sword Sect's disciples all felt a burning sensation on their faces as if they had been slapped several times.
The Dark Night Sword Sect's disciples were even more hostile towards the Five Elements Sword Sect and were even more angry at Chu Mu.
…
After the Dark Night Galaxy's Astral Boundary Battle ended, the other galaxies' Astral Boundary Battles also ended one after another. Out of the 120 galaxies, 120 people had entered the third stage. Almost every one of them could be called a monstrous genius.
The second stage had ended, but there was still no clue about the third stage because no news had been released.
Because of Chu Mu's success, the Five Elements Sword Sect celebrated and invited other forces. Of course, the Dark Night Sword Sect was also invited.
Many people came to this celebration, including the overlord forces. They all sent valuable gifts, but not a single person from the Dark Night Sword Sect appeared. Clearly, they had made their attitude clear. As for the forces under the Dark Night Sword Sect, they also didn't come. Their attitude was clear.
This was expected, so the Five Elements Sword Sect didn't feel dissatisfied. On the contrary, they didn't have to look at the Dark Night Sword Sect's faces.
The celebration lasted for three days and three nights before it ended. Chu Mu's fame had spread throughout the Dark Night Galaxy. Because of this, the Five Elements Sword Sect became the most famous force in the Dark Night Galaxy. It even overshadowed the Dark Night Sword Sect for a while.
Many people wanted to enter the Five Elements Sword Sect and become their disciple.
The upper echelons of the Five Elements Sword Sect were also intensely planning to open their doors. They wanted to take this opportunity to recruit a batch of talented disciples to strengthen the sect's strength and strengthen the sect's disciple formation.
Recruiting disciples wasn't a joke. As a disciple of a sword sect, they had to contribute to the sect's growth. Similarly, the sect had to contribute to the growth of their disciples. This was a mutual process.
The more disciples one had, the bigger the family would be, and the more resources one had to have, the more resources one would have to provide. Otherwise, they would be eaten up.
The Five Elements Sword Sect had stood towering for many years, so it naturally wouldn't be unaware of this. Thus, when it made an exception to recruit disciples this time, it didn't become dizzy from the enormous amount of people that signed up, and it instead adhered to the principle of only recruiting those with outstanding natural talent and disposition, meaning that it only recruited elites.
Relatively speaking, elites were worth nurturing.
Originally, the sect leader of the Five Elements Sword Sect proposed to let Chu Mu take charge of the recruitment of disciples, but Chu Mu refused. To him, it was a waste of time. He might as well go into seclusion and cultivate. The battle of the Astral Boundary had given him a lot of benefits.
Lin Wufang also understood that the third stage of the competition was a battle between 120 monstrous geniuses, and it would be ten times, ten times, or even a hundred times more intense than the second stage. Therefore, he didn't force Chu Mu, and even suggested that everything in the Five Elements Sword Sect would be completely open to Chu Mu.
Many people signed up for the Five Elements Sword Sect because of Chu Mu, but at this time, Chu Mu was cultivating in a secluded cultivation room in the Zhen Tian Hall.
He sat cross-legged, and his mind was constantly replaying one intense and exciting battle after another, absorbing the advantages of the battle to supplement himself. The experience and comprehension of the Azure Sky Illusory World hadn't been completely integrated into the present, and it was gradually deepening.
His strength was increasing little by little.
The understanding of the essence of swordsmanship, the improvement of Qi Cultivation and Body Cultivation, the sharpening of the power of heaven and earth, and the sharpening of sword intent, and so on, were all in the process of improvement, symbolizing that Chu Mu's strength was also increasing.
His vertical swordsmanship had also completely reached the peak, and it was on par with his horizontal swordsmanship. Next was the birth of the Sword Domain.
Having personally experienced the Sword Domain, Chu Mu had a more intuitive understanding of the Sword Domain, but after comprehending it, he found that it wasn't so easy to comprehend the Sword Domain.
Every day, many people came to the Zhen Tian Peak, but it was a pity that the current Zhen Tian Peak was no longer the same as before, and not just anyone could enter as they wished.
In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed.
Chu Mu was still cultivating, but the Five Elements Sword Sect welcomed two people, or rather, a "distinguished guest."
Qin Zhenyu brought Chen Gang to the Five Elements Sword Sect, and the sect master, Lin Wufang, personally came to welcome them.
If Chen Gang came alone, the person receiving him would at most be a deacon. Even if he came on behalf of the Dark Night Sword Sect, the person receiving him would only be an elder.
But Qin Zhenyu was different, as he was the only disciple of the Dark Night Emperor.
The Dark Night Emperor symbolized absolute strength.
As the only disciple of the Dark Night Emperor, Qin Zhenyu's status was unimaginably high. If Chu Mu went to another overlord-level force as a Deity, the leader of the overlord force would definitely come out to welcome him as long as he wasn't out or in seclusion. This was a symbol of status.
The only successor of the Dark Night Emperor was no lower than a Deity.
"I'm here to find Chu Mu," Qin Zhenyu said, and directly stated his purpose.
"Please wait for a moment, Young Master Qin. I'll send someone to invite Chu Mu over," Lin Wufang said. Qin Zhenyu came from an aristocratic family, so it was very appropriate to call him Young Master. He also liked it when people called him that.
"Elder Xuan, go to the Zhen Tian Peak and look for Chu Mu. Tell him that the disciple of the Dark Night Emperor is waiting for Young Master Qin." Lin Wufang instructed, specially mentioning Qin Zhenyu's identity as the disciple of the Dark Night Emperor. If it wasn't for this identity, Lin Wufang wouldn't have personally received Qin Zhenyu.
It was also because of this identity that he guessed that Chu Mu might be in seclusion and wanted to find him.
As the sect master, if he didn't give face to the successor of the Dark Night Emperor, it would inevitably make the Dark Night Emperor unhappy. Offending the Dark Night Emperor wasn't a good thing.
Elder Xuan also understood the importance of this matter, and immediately left for the Zhen Tian Peak.
At this moment, Chu Mu was indeed in seclusion. However, this matter was urgent, and Elder Xuan could only transmit a message to Chu Mu, asking him to come out of seclusion.
"Chu Mu, the successor of the Dark Night Emperor, Young Master Qin Zhenyu, is here. He's currently waiting in the Five Elements Hall." Elder Xuan immediately explained when he saw Chu Mu.
Chu Mu frowned slightly when he heard this. The Dark Night Emperor and the other three had attracted his attention, but why did the successor of the Dark Night Emperor, Young Master Qin, want to see him? Especially at such an important time.
Although he was unhappy in his heart, Chu Mu didn't want to make things difficult for Elder Xuan. He followed Elder Xuan to the Five Elements Hall.
The Five Elements Hall was the main hall of the Five Elements Sword Sect.
Inside the Five Elements Hall, Sect Master Lin Wufang, the three vice sect masters, and many elders were present. Qin Zhenyu and Chen Gang were also present.
Elder Xuan and Chu Mu stepped into the hall, and all eyes fell on Chu Mu. Qin Zhenyu's eyes were filled with playfulness, and Chen Gang's eyes seemed to be suffused with a layer of faint blood-red color, making him look cold and desolate.
"Greetings Sect Master, three vice sect masters, and various elders." Chu Mu greeted everyone as soon as he entered. As for Chen Gang, he didn't even look at him. As for Qin Zhenyu, he only glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
All the elders smiled, feeling that they had gained face.
"Chu Mu, let me introduce you." Lin Wufang stood up and walked over, gesturing to Qin Zhenyu, "This is the successor of the Dark Night Emperor, Young Master Qin Zhenyu."
Following Lin Wufang's introduction, Chu Mu also cupped his hands and saluted Qin Zhenyu. Qin Zhenyu didn't stand up. He sat on the chair, and as if he was maintaining his status, he cupped his hands and returned the salute to Chu Mu.
"Young Master Qin is here for you. You're both young and handsome, so you should have a lot to talk about." Lin Wufang frowned slightly, then relaxed.
"Since Young Master Qin is here for me, why don't you come to my Zhen Tian Hall and have a seat?" Chu Mu invited.
He felt that it wasn't polite for two juniors to talk in the main hall of the Sword Sect.
Although he had the title of the tenth God's Son, he was still a disciple of the Five Elements Sword Sect, not the sect master.
"Don't bother," Qin Zhenyu said directly, "I'm here for only one purpose."
As he spoke, Qin Zhenyu's eyes locked onto Chu Mu. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through Chu Mu.
"Young Master Qin, please speak," Chu Mu said lightly. His intuition told him that Qin Zhenyu probably didn't come with good intentions.
Lin Wufang frowned slightly, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Chen Gang, on the other hand, had a strange smile on his face.
"You can be my sword servant." There was no explanation, and there was no turning around. Although Qin Zhenyu's last word was "okay," it was full of toughness. It was as if Chu Mu had to be his sword servant.
What was a sword servant? It was the sword-holding boy next to him.
If it was a normal genius, being appointed as a Sword Servant by a genius like Qin Zhenyu, the successor of a great emperor, he would definitely be very happy. However, Chu Mu wasn't a normal genius. He was a monster, a monster with a heart higher than the heavens.
Hearing Qin Zhenyu's words, the expressions of Lin Wufang, the three deputy lords, and the elders changed greatly. They had never expected that Qin Zhenyu would come here for this purpose. This was simply a humiliation.
Chu Mu furrowed his brows.
He expected Qin Zhenyu to come with bad intentions, but he didn't expect that Qin Zhenyu would come here to ask him to be his sword servant.
Sword servant?
What a joke. Not to mention that Qin Zhenyu didn't have the qualifications to make him his sword servant, even Emperor Ye Ming didn't have such qualifications.
In terms of talent, Chu Mu wasn't inferior to Emperor Ye Ming at all. If he was born in the same era as Emperor Ye Ming, perhaps even Emperor Ye Ming wouldn't be as good as him.
Of course, that was just an assumption. But it was undeniable that Chu Mu couldn't become Qin Zhenyu's sword servant.
The corners of Chen Gang's mouth curled into a cold sneer. His eyes flickered with an indescribable light. The light was sharp and had a strange feeling to it. Qin Zhenyu also had a strange expression on his face.
