The sky was clear and the clouds were sparse. The sky was blue and deep.
A flaming meteor streaked across the blue sky, leaving behind a dark red trail and thick smoke.
With a boom, a figure flew out from the huge burning fireball.
Another boom rang out, and the ground trembled as the huge fireball smashed into a mountain, causing a heaven-shaking explosion. Terrifying shockwaves spread out in all directions, and everything within hundreds of thousands of meters was obliterated. Mountains and rocks were reduced to dust, and huge flames soared into the sky, seeming to burn down the sky.
The rumbling tremors lasted for dozens of breaths before calming down.
"What terrifying power," Chu Mu said to himself as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Fortunately, he had left the flying ship in time. Otherwise, if the flying ship had crashed into the mountain and exploded, even if he didn't die, he would have been seriously injured.
He was being chased by He Zijian and the other three's flying ship. Their flying ship was faster and had the ability to attack. Chu Mu controlled the flying ship to dodge, and he had no choice but to increase the speed of the flying ship to exceed the limit. As expected, he managed to shake them off. However, after a long time, the flying ship was also seriously damaged, resulting in the current situation.
"Li Family, Fire God Sect …" Silently muttering to himself, Chu Mu's lips curled into a sneer as his eyes flickered with a cold glint.
He would remember that when he was strong enough, he would definitely take revenge.
Suppressing this thought, Chu Mu flew in the direction of the explosion.
Everything within a hundred thousand meters was charred black. He could still see black smoke rising in spirals.
Chu Mu couldn't help but feel that it was a pity that his only flying ship was gone. The flying ship's speed was faster than his flying speed, and it didn't need to consume his own energy. Of course, it needed to consume the energy of his Yuan Dan.
But no matter what, it was still a good thing to have a flying ship.
After entering the mountain, Chu Mu scanned the area with his Divine Remembrance. Not long after, Chu Mu caught a weak aura fluctuation. That was a weak life force, a life force that was on the verge of death. It was like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
With a flash, Chu Mu moved quickly and saw a person lying in a pool of blood. The person's body was covered in blood, and the blood was covered in ashes. It was impossible to see the person's original appearance.
The weak aura of life came from this person.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Mu approached the person. He opened his palm, and with a distance of half a meter, he guided the life force of the Wood Form to turn it into a wisp of green. It spread out from his palm and shot towards the person on the ground. The green light entered the person's body, and the life force quickly spread out. The life force that was so weak that it was on the verge of extinction increased a little.
"His injuries are too severe." Chu Mu didn't attack again. This person's injuries were extremely severe. Unless he released a large amount of vitality, only then would he be able to heal some of his injuries and preserve his life. However, the price he had to pay was that the source of his Wood Aspect had been severely shrunk.
It was impossible for Chu Mu to be so selfless towards a stranger who he didn't know was good or bad.
It wasn't difficult to replenish the life force of the wood aspect, but it wasn't easy to replenish too much of it. This was one of the things he relied on in this strange world.
"Y- you …" The heavily injured person stuttered, gasping for breath.
Seeing how the person was, Chu Mu took out a few pills and dissolved them with his sword origin. They turned into a strand of energy that flowed into the person's mouth and into his stomach. These were healing pills.
After the pills were dissolved, the person was slightly replenished, and his life force seemed to have become slightly stronger.
"I- I'm the vice-sect master of the True Sword Sect …" The person stuttered, "I- I can't make it … I don't care who you are … I beg you … to … give … this … to … to … to … to … to … to … to … to … to … elder Yun Feng of the True Sword Sect … I'll use all my savings … as a reward …"
His voice was weak and stuttering. When he finally finished speaking, an irregular triangular object appeared in his hand. It seemed like the tip of a sword.
The person handed over the triangular object that looked like the tip of a sword. As soon as Chu Mu touched it, it suddenly trembled. With a buzzing sound, it released a pure milky-white lustre that grew brighter and brighter.
"This …" A surge of energy surged out of the heavily injured person. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with shock and excitement. "You … you … the True Sword Sect's spiritual seal … sect master …"
As he stuttered, perhaps because he was overly excited, his injuries flared up. His entire body suddenly trembled, and his body straightened. Immediately after, a mouthful of black blood spurted out from his open mouth like an arrow. Soon after, he fell back stiffly. With a bang, he stopped moving, and his life force dissipated. He was dead.
Chu Mu was stunned.
"He's dead …" Chu Mu muttered to himself, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
If he knew that this person was not supposed to die, and that he was only heavily injured and struck by the terrifying shockwave from the explosion of the flying ship, which aggravated his injuries to the point where he could not be healed, who knew what he would think.
The triangular object in his hand still let out a milky-white light. It radiated in bursts, and it contained a strange pulse of energy.
"The True Sword Sect …"
He looked at the glowing object in his hand before shifting his gaze to the mangled corpse on the ground. His mind spun rapidly, and his thoughts gradually cleared up.
Regardless of what the True Sword Sect was, the person who had died was the so-called vice-sect master of the True Sword Sect.
Why had he died?
Looking at how he was so heavily injured that he could not be healed, he had probably been beaten up by someone. He had managed to escape, but he had collapsed here because his injuries were too severe. Afterwards, he was discovered.
The vice-sect master knew that he could not be healed, and he knew that he did not have long to live. After seeing Jian Chen, he placed a sliver of hope on him, which was to use all the savings in his Space Ring as a reward to entrust Jian Chen with the glowing, milky-white triangle to the people of the True Sword Sect.
According to the vice-sect master's agitated words before he died, this thing should be called the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal. It was likely that the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal was something very important to the True Sword Sect. It was probably a token.
"The Sword Sect Spiritual Seal … The sect master …" Chu Mu gradually made sense of things.
He had been present throughout the entire process. He could be said to have participated in it all, so he remembered all the changes very clearly.
When the vice-sect master of the True Sword Sect took out the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal, it did not glow. Only when Jian Chen took it from him did the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal shudder and let out a continuous, milky-white light.
It was because the vice-sect master saw this change that he suddenly became agitated. In the end, he said something that no one could understand. Afterwards, his injuries flared up due to excessive agitation, and he died.
With just a few words, everything that had happened in a short amount of time was roughly deduced by Chu Mu with his great mental abilities.
"Could it be that the highest authority in the so-called True Sword Sect is only the vice-sect master and not the sect master? Only those who have gained the recognition of the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal can become sect master?" After making sense of things, a thought leapt into Chu Mu's head.
After thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be a possibility.
However, he smiled. Even if it was true, he didn't mind. He put the Sword Sect Spirit Seal into his portable pocket space, then took the man's spatial ring. Then, he picked a spot and dug a hole. Then, he placed the man's corpse into the hole and buried it.
Using his fingers like a sword, he sliced through the air. A boulder that was as fragile as tofu was cut into the shape of a tombstone by Chu Mu. Using his fingers like a pen, he carved out a line of words on the tombstone.
"Tomb of the True Sword Sect's vice-sect master!"
Placing the tombstone in place, he could give the vice-sect master an explanation.
After doing all this, only then did Chu Mu carefully inspect the vice-sect master's Space Ring.
There were some pills, quite a few Yuan Cores, some swords, a few Cultivation Method manuals, some spiritual herbs, some metal ores, and so on. These things could be considered the normal reserves of every cultivator. However, some were more common and some were more precious.
Chu Mu did not pay too much attention to these things. However, these things could be considered as a part of Chu Mu's reserves, causing his wealth to increase once again.
In addition, Chu Mu also found some Nirvana Qi, but it was not much. It was not enough for him to undergo the fifth Nirvana. Of course, there was still quite some time before the fifth Nirvana. His cultivation was only at the early stage of the Fourth Heavenly Layer, not the peak.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Mu's eyes lit up. With a thought, a flying ship appeared out of thin air. It was the flying ship from the vice-sect master's Space Ring.
This flying ship was about the same size as the previous one, but in terms of style, shape, and so on, it was much better. The entire flying ship was sword-shaped. It looked like a giant sword.
The flying ship was not very spacious. It could barely accommodate two people, but it was very comfortable to accommodate one person. It was called the Giant Sword.
After entering the Giant Sword and studying it for a while, Chu Mu mastered the piloting method of the Giant Sword. He activated the Giant Sword and it rose into the air. Then, a virtual flame shot out from the tail. With a boom, the Giant Sword instantly shot out. Its speed was much faster than the previous shuttle-shaped flying ship.
Chu Mu was sure that if it was at full speed, its speed would be much faster than the previous shuttle-shaped flying ship that exceeded its limit.
If he had used this flying ship before, He Zijian and the other three would not have been able to catch up to him, let alone cause his flying ship to exceed its limit and be destroyed.
Moreover, this Giant Sword flying ship actually had the ability to attack. It had two forms. One could shoot a ray of light from the front. It was very powerful. Chu Mu even deliberately tried it. With one shot, it could pierce through a mountain rock. Its penetrating power was very terrifying. Its attack power was probably something that even an Eighth Heavenly Layer Nirvana cultivator would not be able to resist.
The second form of attack was to shoot out a ball of cannon fire. After hitting the target, it would explode and cause area damage. Chu Mu also tried it. The range of this attack was about one thousand meters. Its power was weaker than the first form, but it could still threaten a Seventh Heavenly Layer Nirvana cultivator.
No matter what form of attack it was, it would consume energy every time. It was about the energy of a hundred high-grade Origin Cores.
