"Instructor Chu Mu, I want to be your disciple. Please accept me." Chen Li knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Mu. His tone was very firm.
This was the tenth time Chen Li requested to be Chu Mu's disciple. However, this was the first time he knelt to Chu Mu.
Before Chu Mu could stop him, Chen Li had already kowtowed three times. Every time he kowtowed, his head would hit the ground and make a thumping sound. When he got up, Chen Li's forehead was slightly red.
Although he wasn't a body cultivator, Chen Li's body was much stronger than the average person after many upgrades. The red mark on his forehead meant that he used a lot of strength.
He was very sincere and sincere.
Chu Mu had a headache. Chen Li's talent in swordsmanship was not bad, but it could only be considered above average. There was still a gap between him and those peerless geniuses. However, he was very sincere. If he was in the human race's four major star fields, Chu Mu wouldn't hesitate. However, in the Deep Blue World, he was only here to carry out a mission.
"Chen Li, you have some talent and sincerity. However, I still can't accept you as my disciple." Chu Mu thought for a while and said slowly, "However, I can accept you as an in-name disciple first."
Hearing Chu Mu's words, Chen Li first showed a disappointed expression before it turned into a pleasant surprise.
An in-name disciple was still a disciple after all.
"Master, please accept this disciple's three kowtows." Chen Li quickly kowtowed three more times.
"I don't have much time. Therefore, other than teaching swordsmanship, I won't teach you often." Chu Mu said honestly.
"I understand, master. As long as you can guide me, I will learn diligently." Chen Li didn't show any dissatisfaction.
"Okay, you can go back first and cultivate well." Chu Mu said.
"Okay, master. However, before I go back, I wonder if I should give up on spells and focus on swordsmanship?" Chen Li said, hoping that Chu Mu would give him a suggestion.
"I won't give any suggestions. Follow your heart." Chu Mu said faintly and signaled Chen Li to leave.
"Yes, Master." Chen Li turned around and left with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The concept of magic was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it was also one of the mainstream developments in this world. It had its own uniqueness. As for what would happen in the end, Chu Mu didn't know, so he couldn't make any conclusions.
Moreover, Chen Li was merely a nominal disciple.
Taking in Chu Mu as a disciple in name didn't affect his daily life much. He still attended sword art classes, cultivated, and went to the Book Collection Department.
Chu Mu's identity as the Head Instructor of the Sword Techniques of the Sky Bearing Academy allowed him to become one of the higher-ups of the Sky Bearing Academy. The Book Collection Department was no longer guarded against him and he could browse through it as he wished.
The upper level of the Book Collection Department did not have as many books as the lower level, but they were more precious than the lower level. There were even a few unique books.
However, Chu Mu flipped through them one by one but did not find any information about the World Spirit.
However, flipping through these books had broadened his horizons, increasing his knowledge and knowledge.
Because he had to cultivate, Chu Mu couldn't stay in the Book Collection Department all the time.
After more than ten days, there were still a few books left in the upper level of the Book Collection Department that he hadn't browsed through.
In these ten days, he had attended a few sword art classes and also taught Chen Li a few times. Chen Li's talent was indeed not bad, and his comprehension wasn't bad either. Every time Chu Mu gave him pointers, he could quickly comprehend it and then spend a few days to absorb it. The next time, there would be some improvement. This made Chu Mu quite satisfied.
In these ten days, many people came to listen to the Three Sword Techniques Department in the Earth Palace. Fortunately, the training hall was big enough and Chu Mu didn't chase them away. Chu Mu's reputation also spread and resounded throughout the Canglan Empire, causing many people to come. Some came because of his reputation and wanted to enter the Sky Bearing Academy to become Chu Mu's student, while others wanted to challenge Chu Mu to become famous.
However, Chu Mu rejected all challengers and didn't even bother with them.
Today, Chu Mu came to the upper level of the Book Collection Department again. He planned to finish reading the remaining three books today. If he still couldn't find any information related to the Power of the World, he planned to find an opportunity to leave this place.
He picked up the first book and read it carefully. In less than an hour, he finished reading the book and memorized all the contents.
He flipped through the second book.
He flipped through the third book.
Reading page by page, flipping through page by page, Chu Mu suddenly paused. A sharp glint flashed through his eyes as if he had thought of something. He flipped back to a few pages and carefully read them again.
There wasn't much information on this page. Chu Mu only noticed something different after reading it three times.
The general meaning was that the greatest secret of the Deep Blue World was the eighteen Divine Pearls. Collecting all eighteen Divine Pearls would unlock the secret of this world.
"Eighteen Divine Pearls … The secret of the world …" Chu Mu narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself thoughtfully.
The content was very little. It could even be said that it was only mentioned briefly. When Chu Mu read it previously, he didn't think too much about it. It was only when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration that he went back and read it a few more times that he found some clues.
However, there was too little information.
The eighteen Divine Pearls and the so-called secret of the world were just this. There wasn't anything else. This made Chu Mu confused.
He couldn't be sure if the eighteen Divine Pearls and the so-called secret of the world had anything to do with the World Spirit.
If it was related to the Power of the World, it was worth Chu Mu to investigate. However, if it wasn't, there was no need to investigate further.
However, Chu Mu couldn't be sure if it was related or not. This was the main point.
After reading it again, he flipped open the pages again and read page by page. He was more careful than before and he understood every word. This time, his reading speed was much slower.
In the end, he finished reading the entire book and memorized it. Other than that page, there wasn't any other information related to the eighteen Divine Pearls and the secret of the world. After Chu Mu closed the book, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he sat on his seat and closed his eyes. He carefully recalled the contents of every book that he had read in the Book Collection Department.
His reading volume was very large and he had read many, many books. Therefore, it wasn't easy to recall everything carefully.
After spending half a day, Chu Mu finally finished recalling everything. He could be sure that other than that page in the book, there wasn't any other information related to the eighteen Divine Pearls and the secret of the world. There was also no information related to the Power of the World.
"It seems like I have to focus on the eighteen Divine Pearls." Chu Mu thought to himself and focused on the so-called eighteen Divine Pearls. When he left the Book Collection Department, it was already night time. Chu Mu didn't return to his residence but went to look for Mu Shihua.
…
"Eighteen Divine Pearls?" Mu Shihua was confused. Judging from his tone and expression, he didn't know anything about the eighteen Divine Pearls at all.
"I just saw it when I was flipping through the books in the Book Collection Department. I was just curious," Chu Mu said calmly with a faint smile.
Mu Shihua nodded without any doubt.
"Vice-Chairman Mu, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Since he didn't get any information, Chu Mu stood up and left.
Mu Shihua didn't take it to heart.
…
"I have a feeling that the transformation of the power of time will happen during this period of time. It won't be long."
"Then I'll wait until the power of time transforms into the laws before I bid farewell to Mu Shihua," Chu Mu thought to himself.
Cultivate, continue to cultivate. Every three days, there would be a sword technique lesson. After that, Chen Li would come over every one or two days. Chu Mu would also use his free time to give him some pointers. As a result, Chen Li's swordsmanship gradually improved and he was even further away from the other students.
However, Chen Li was still a long way from comprehending the essence of swordsmanship and mastering sword energy.
It seemed hopeless for him to master sword energy in the lower or middle levels of the Nirvana realm.
Chu Mu would also take some time to write a book on swordsmanship. He planned to leave Sky Bearing Academy soon and give this book to Chen Li as an explanation to his in-name disciple. After all, he wouldn't be able to give him pointers in the future.
…
Li Qiufeng was forced to leave the Li family and go to the Skyblaze Sect. With his own talent and strength, as well as the influence the Li family had in the Skyblaze Sect, he quickly became a core disciple of the Skyblaze Sect and had a relatively high status.
However, Li Qiufeng had always been thinking about the position of the head of the Li family. Although he knew that after he became a disciple of the Skyblaze Sect, the position of head of the Li family would no longer have anything to do with him, he was still unwilling to accept it.
He knew that the reason he lost the position of head of the Li family and was forced to become a disciple of the Skyblaze Sect was because he had committed a grave mistake. The reason for his grave mistake was that Chu Mu had killed eight Heavenly Guards and one Heavenly Guard Commander of the Li family, causing the Li family to suffer a great loss.
Chu Mu was a person that Li Qiufeng hated the most. He swore that he would definitely take revenge on Chu Mu and make him suffer a fate worse than death.
Now, Li Qiufeng was about to take his revenge on Chu Mu. He brought a few powerful cultivators from Fire God Sect that belonged to the Li Family and quickly left Fire God Sect. He first returned to the Li Family. After learning of the recent events, he gnashed his teeth in anger.
"He is now in the Sky Bearing Academy and is in the limelight," an elder of the Li family said viciously.
"Relying on the Sky Bearing Academy's support, he has completely disregarded the Li family and is lawless."
"Father, Elders, don't worry." Li Qiufeng's eyes flashed with a cold light as he vowed, "This time, I have brought a few experts from the Skyblaze Sect with me. They all belong to the Li family and each of them has a profound cultivation base. With them, Chu Mu will not be able to escape. The Sky Bearing Academy will definitely not dare to offend the Skyblaze Sect and protect Chu Mu. Otherwise, they will become the Skyblaze Sect's enemy. Even the founder of the Sky Bearing Academy, the Sky Bearing Sword Saint, would not dare to offend the Skyblaze Sect."
Just like that, Li Qiufeng left the Li family with a few experts from the Skyblaze Sect and quickly headed for the Sky Bearing Academy. He was fully confident that he would be able to capture Chu Mu this time.
