There were many types of forces. Sects, clans, and gangs were all one type of force, and so were academies.
Sects had their own methods of inheritance, clans had their own methods of inheritance, and academies had their own methods. The students of academies were different from the disciples of sects and clans.
But no matter what, during the period of being a student, they were part of the academies. Even if they left the academies under normal circumstances, most of them would still remember that they were once students of the academies and lend a helping hand when the academies were in trouble.
Within the Canglan Empire, Sky Bearing Academy wasn't the only academy. In fact, before Sky Bearing Academy was established, there were already other academies.
Among them, the most famous was the Canglan Empire's signature — Canglan Academy.
Canglan Academy was established many years ago by an expert of the Canglan Empire's imperial family. It was a powerful academy of the Canglan Empire with a long history and deep heritage. A thousand-year-old clan like the Li Clan couldn't be compared to the Canglan Empire.
The Canglan Academy's recruitment rules were even stricter. One's talent had to reach a certain level before they were qualified to become a student of Canglan Academy. Not only did Canglan Academy have a long history and deep heritage, it also had a direct relationship with the Canglan Empire's imperial family. Some of the students who graduated from Canglan Academy could even directly enter the Canglan Empire's imperial family.
One had to know that in the entire Canglan Empire, the imperial family's power was undoubtedly very strong. All the aristocratic clans were below the imperial family, and only one or two powerful sects could be compared.
With all sorts of superior conditions, the Azure Water Academia had become the top choice for many cultivators within the empire. Even some geniuses from outside the empire would come here because of its reputation. This led to the students of the Azure Water Academia having extraordinary talents that were far ahead of the other academies.
The academy that was ranked second was called Yingtian Academy.
Yingtian Academy was established by a Saint. This Saint was called Yingtian Saint, and was a powerful Saint who was proficient in spells. The Yingtian Academy that was established by him had its own unique spells.
Originally, Sky Bearing Academy was established by the Sky Sword Saint, and it also focused on swordsmanship. However, Sky Bearing Academy overtook them and took third place.
Canglan, Yingtian, Sky Bearing, and Sky Bearing were the four great academies of the Canglan Empire. As for the other academies, they were basically unranked, and it was rare for them to produce any powerful students.
Every year, the organizer of the exchange was usually one of the four great academies.
As the organizer of this event, Sky Bearing Academy was working hard to prepare for it. The other academies were also provoking the other academies to select the participants for the exchange. The exchange was a major event and could not be sloppy. It was impossible to bring all the students because there were too many of them. They could only select the best among them.
The elites that were selected had to have outstanding abilities. Otherwise, they would not be able to display the prestige of the school.
…
While all the academies were doing their best to prepare, Chu Mu was cultivating on the second level of the Five Spirits Pagoda.
The Divine Wilderness Sword Art and the Astral Calamity cultivation technique did not fall behind. As he cultivated, he continued to improve. Although it was slight, he was still close to the peak.
After another round of cultivation, Chu Mu stood up and practiced his swordsmanship. This had already become a habit of his.
After he finished practicing his swordsmanship, Chu Mu adjusted his breathing. Suddenly, a golden light flashed across his eyes.
He muttered, "Five Elemental Sharp Metal Sword." In an instant, the power of the Five Elemental Rules of Order fluctuated rapidly. Following that, the power of the Rules of Order of Gold shone brightly. Using a mysterious method, it poured into the Heavenslash Sword in his hand and slashed forward.
In an instant, a ray of dazzling golden light cut through the void. It was so dazzling that nothing could block it.
The golden Sword Light did not dissipate. It slashed the wall of the second level of the Five Spirits Pagoda and shattered it.
He could feel that the power of the Five Elemental Sharp Metal Sword was very strong. Its specialty was its sharpness. The power of the Rules of Order of Gold was condensed into one and released by the sword. It was sharper than the tip of a sword and could cut through everything.
However, the Five Spirits Pagoda was very sturdy. With his current strength, he could not even shake it, let alone destroy it. Hence, Chu Mu was not very clear about the power of the Five Elemental Sharp Metal Sword.
However, he was sure that his cultivation of the Five Elemental Sharp Metal Sword was only at the small success stage. He was still far from Dacheng.
He slashed out again. The golden Sword Light crossed the sky and slashed the wall of the second level of the Five Spirits Pagoda. With a pop, it dissipated again.
Chu Mu cultivated like that. After every slash, he would stop and think. He would repeatedly comprehend where he was lacking, where he could improve and where he could do better.
Every time he slashed out, he would do his best. The power of his Spiritual Sense, Sword Origin, Rules of Order of Gold, etc.
It was not easy to cultivate a unique skill. It required the cooperation of various powers. In terms of controlling power, Chu Mu was unique. Ordinary people could not compare with him.
After using up all of his Sword Origin, Chu Mu also used up most of his Spiritual Sense. He stopped cultivating the Five Elemental Sharp Metal Sword and sat down cross-legged to recover his power.
When his Sword Origin was fully recovered, so was his Spiritual Sense. Chu Mu continued to cultivate.
In his eyes, a wisp of green flashed. That wisp of green was full of vitality. It was like a seedling growing. Immediately, the Rules of Order of Wood shone brightly and poured into the sword. He then slashed out.
The green Sword Light slashed out towards the wall of the Five Spirits Pagoda. When the green Sword Light hit the wall, it did not break instantly like the golden Sword Light. Instead, the front part broke and the back part followed. The broken part seemed to be absorbing the Rules of Order of Wood in the air to replenish itself.
The specialty of the Five Elemental Sharp Metal Sword was its sharpness. It could cut through everything.
On the other hand, the Five Elemental Green Wood Sword was endlessly growing.
Just like cultivating the Five Elemental Sharp Metal Sword, Chu Mu swung the sword again and again until his power was exhausted. He then sat down cross-legged and continued to recover.
After he had fully recovered, he began to cultivate the Five Elemental Flowing Water Sword.
The Rules of Order of Five Elements operated. The Rules of Order of Water shone brightly and fluctuated violently. It poured into the Heavenslash Sword. The deep blue light filled the Heavenslash Sword with a mysterious aura.
As he slashed out, the blue Sword Light raged. Between the fluctuations, there seemed to be the sound of flowing water. It gave people a feeling that it was endless. When it slashed the wall of the pagoda, the blue light shattered like water ripples and turned into sputtering bits. The following Sword Light followed and flowed out continuously. It seemed gentle, but it was actually very tough.
The Five Elemental Flowing Water Sword was different from the Five Elemental Green Wood Sword.
He cultivated tirelessly. When his power was exhausted, he would recover and continue to cultivate.
This time, it was to cultivate the Raging Inferno Sword.
The Rules of Order of Fire shone brightly and poured into the Heavenslash Sword. It was as if a raging fire was burning, and the scorching aura fluctuated.
As he slashed out, the fiery red Sword Light was filled with a violent and scorching aura. It blasted out like a ball of fire. After it hit the wall of the pagoda with a bang, the fiery red Sword Light shattered. However, the power that erupted in an instant was incomparably tyrannical.
The Five Elemental Blazing Sword was characterized by its high temperature and instantaneous explosive power. It was as if all the power was blended into a ball and released in an instant, causing great destruction.
The last one to cultivate was the Five Elemental Thick Earth Sword.
The Rules of Order of Earth grew stronger and poured into the Heavenslash Sword. Suddenly, a brown light gathered on the Heavenslash Sword. There was no bright light. There was only a deep and restrained color, as if it had solidified. Chu Mu only felt the sword in his hand sink. Its weight seemed to have increased by thousands of times.
As he slashed out, a heavy aura filled the air. The brown Sword Light was like a mountain, a thick earth, crushing everything. The terrifying power was stable and solidified, suppressing everything.
Each of the five ordinary lost arts had its own uniqueness. None of them were weak. It was worth Chu Mu's time to cultivate.
As the days passed, Chu Mu continued to cultivate the five lost arts. Every time his power was exhausted and recovered, there would be a slight improvement.
Finally, Chu Mu's Qi Cultivation and Physique Cultivation broke through as he wished. He was now at the peak of the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm.
"I've finally reached the peak. Next, I'll consolidate it for a few days. Then, I'll go for the fourth Nirvana Realm." Chu Mu thought to himself.
He continued to cultivate. After a few days, his cultivation was completely consolidated. Chu Mu was also ready to go for the fourth Nirvana Realm.
Previously, he did not have much Nirvana Qi left from the Nirvana Realm. However, the spatial rings of the eight Heavenly Guards of the Li Family, the Third Commander of the Li Family, and Wei Yang, who was the earliest, all had Nirvana Qi. Although each of them did not have much Nirvana Qi, together with what Chu Mu had left, it was just enough for him to go for the fourth Nirvana Realm.
There were nine levels in the Nirvana Realm.
The first to third levels were the lower levels, the fourth to sixth levels were the middle levels, and the seventh to ninth levels were the upper levels.
The difference between the lower, middle, and upper levels was very obvious. It was much bigger than the difference between the first and second levels.
This was because in the lower levels of the Nirvana Realm, the main Nirvana Realm was the body. Through repeated Nirvana Realms, a near-perfect body would be formed, which was more beneficial for cultivation.
In the middle levels of the Nirvana Realm, it was the Dantian. Through the reorganization of the Nirvana Realm, a powerful and perfect Dantian would be formed. It was also a great help for future cultivation.
As for the upper levels of the Nirvana Realm, the Nirvana Realm was the soul.
The Nirvana Realm of the soul was the most dangerous. If one was not careful, one's soul would collapse and disappear between heaven and earth. Therefore, many Nirvana Realm swordsmen would only cultivate to the seventh level of the Nirvana Realm. They did not have the confidence to continue the Nirvana Realm. They generally understood that with their talent, they would not be able to endure the eighth level of the Nirvana Realm, let alone the ninth level.
Many Martial Saints were actually cultivators at the seventh level of the Nirvana Realm. Because the soul at the sixth level of the Nirvana Realm had not transformed, they could not break through to the Eternal Realm.
Chu Mu began the fourth Nirvana Realm …
