Chu Mu and Elder Yun Feng and Elder Yun He carried out a simple discussion. After constructing a complete framework for the Sect Great Competition, Chu Mu became a hands-off shopkeeper and handed over the details of the Sect Great Competition to Elder Yun Feng and Elder He to handle.
As for Chu Mu himself, he was wholeheartedly comprehending the sword art. He was trying his best to decipher the Emperor of Purple Gold's ultimate move. Only by deciphering that move would he be able to resist or even defeat the Emperor of Purple Gold.
Apart from cultivating, Chu Mu had some free time to organize his collection. He planned to take out some of his personal treasures as rewards for the Inter-Sect Tournament. When he was organizing his collection, Chu Mu once again looked at the crystal coffin and the person inside. She was still in a deep sleep. In fact, Chu Mu didn't know whether she was still alive or not. He couldn't open the crystal coffin either.
He took out another piece of paper. It was an incomplete secret manual that he had won previously. There was only one move on it, and it was called the Eternal Sword Force.
Chu Mu had tried to comprehend the Eternal Sword Force before, but he didn't get anything out of it. It was too profound, or maybe he didn't find the right path.
Now that he was reading it again, Chu Mu didn't expect to be able to comprehend anything. Unexpectedly, after reading it once, he suddenly had a strange feeling. It was as if he understood a little bit. This discovery surprised Chu Mu, and he quickly focused on reading it.
He read it over and over again, comprehending it over and over again. Gradually, Chu Mu's heart had a layer of understanding. It was as if he was about to understand something, but he was always lacking a little bit. It was as if there was a layer of membrane between him and it was as if he could pierce through this membrane to see the true picture.
Although he had a feeling that he was about to comprehend it, he was still unable to do so. Chu Mu had to give up temporarily. However, he vaguely understood that increasing the realm of his sword art would be of direct help in comprehending the Eternal Sword Force.
Now, his swordsmanship realm was at the Consummate Realm of the Union of Man and Sword, but it was just the beginning. His swordsmanship realm had increased by a small realm, and his mastery and understanding of swordsmanship had obviously increased by a lot. If he could break through the Union of Man and Sword and reach the next realm of swordsmanship, he might be able to comprehend the essence of the Eternal Sword Momentum.
Cultivating, comprehending, and practicing swordsmanship had become a daily necessity for Chu Mu. Elder Yun, Elder Yun, Elder Yun, Elder Yun, Elder Yun, Elder Yun, Elder Yun, Elder Yun and Elder Yun had also reached a conclusion and reported it to Chu Mu. After reading it, Chu Mu immediately made a decision.
The Great Sect Competition was set to be held in a month, and this news was immediately spread. When the True Sword Sect's disciples heard about it, they were all quite startled before becoming overjoyed. The last Great Sect Competition had been held many years ago.
With competition, there would be pressure and motivation. The disciples who had been cultivating fervently to begin with began to work even harder. Under this atmosphere, all the disciples were filled with motivation.
Yun Feng continued to collect information, but there was no progress on the information regarding the eighteen God Races. There was only some superficial information. Perhaps it was because the True Sword Sect's level was not high enough, but the Fifth Supreme Elder was unable to think of any useful information, which made Chu Mu feel quite helpless.
However, it was impossible to make something out of nothing. There was nothing Chu Mu could do about this. He could only put aside the secret of the eighteen God Pearls for now and focus on increasing his own strength. Only with enough strength would he be able to better explore the secrets. Otherwise, even if he knew, he would not be able to keep it.
He knew that he was not the only one who was paying attention to the eighteen God Pearls. There were definitely people stronger than him.
Unraveling the secrets of the Sword Sect Spirit Mark, increasing his cultivation and strength, and developing the True Sword Sect were his main tasks at this stage.
During this month, not only were the True Sword Sect's disciples working hard to cultivate, Chu Mu was not idle either. His efforts were not inferior to any of the disciples.
During this period, Chu Mu entered the Sword Sect Spirit Mark again and fought with the Emperor of Zi Jin many times. Although he was defeated every time, Chu Mu was able to last longer each time. From time to time, he would even take out the Eternal Sword Force to comprehend it. Although he was still unable to unravel the secrets within it, the realm of his swordsmanship was increasing bit by bit.
Suddenly, Chu Mu had an epiphany. If he was strong enough, then no matter what the opponent's methods were, he would be able to unravel them in the end.
After understanding this, Chu Mu was even more conscious to increase the realm of his swordsmanship, instead of trying to unravel the Emperor of Zi Jin's swordsmanship killer moves.
This was the true path of the king.
The path was divided into two extremes, the extreme of ease and the extreme of heaviness. Chu Mu's understanding of this was also increasing. The white-robed swordsman's light and graceful swordsmanship was fully absorbed by Chu Mu. However, Chu Mu was different from the white-robed swordsman. Hence, his swordsmanship was imprinted with Chu Mu's personal style and had his own unique style.
The realm of One with the Sword continued to consolidate and increase.
Within the Sword Sect Spirit Mark, Chu Mu faced the Emperor of Zi Jin once again.
"I have said that the second stage is your final stage." The Emperor of Zi Jin once again pulled out his sword and walked down from his throne. His aura was shocking, and the might of the Emperor was shocking.
He slashed out with his sword, and the might of the Emperor was biting cold. The four seas bowed down, and the eight directions bowed respectfully.
Chu Mu was very familiar with the Emperor of Zi Jin's swordsmanship after fighting with him many times. He immediately countered it. Once again, both sides were unable to defeat each other. In the end, the Emperor of Zi Jin used his terrifying Emperor Slaying Sword again.
Chu Mu had died many times under this sword, and he had a deep understanding of it. When the Emperor of Zi Jin's sword was raised, he was very cautious. However, Chu Mu already had a way to counter it. It was just that he wasn't sure if it would work in theory. However, at least he could give it a try. After dying, he could come back again. This was his greatest advantage.
His sharp senses told him that when the Emperor of Zi Jin's sword was raised and was about to use the Emperor Slaying Sword, there would be a very short time gap. It was a time for him to accumulate his strength and aura. With the Emperor of Zi Jin's swordsmanship realm, he could use his own ability to cover up this small gap. Moreover, in a battle of life and death, how many people could truly grasp this gap?
Chu Mu grasped it. This time.
The sword drew a circle in front of him. Under the circle, there was a shocking mystery. Lightness and heaviness intertwined, causing this sword to have an indescribable strangeness. The power exploded, and the sword advanced.
The originally light and heavy sword suddenly turned into an aurora.
It was so fast that it made one's hair stand on end.
The Sword Light pierced through the void. It pierced through time and space, and went straight towards the Emperor of Zi Jin's Emperor Slaying Sword.
The Sword Light was extremely condensed. It was so light that it seemed to be weightless. However, it contained an incomparably heavy power. As the power intertwined, it became vigorous and domineering. It actually gave birth to a trace of the Emperor Slaying Sword's power.
Millions of corpses, the common people are ants.
Hit. Chu Mu's Sword Light pierced through the huge Purple Gold Sword Light and the Emperor of Zi Jin's forehead. At the same time, half of the Purple Gold Sword Light also slashed towards Chu Mu, killing Chu Mu.
This ending could be said to be mutual destruction.
Chu Mu once again entered the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal. The throne and the Emperor of Zi Jin had both disappeared. There was only a vast expanse of white.
"Could it be that I've passed the second stage?" Chu Mu was astonished.
At this moment, the white expanse of white around him started to change. Traces of black seemed to extend out from the void and spread out. It was like ink splattering out from an ink bottle. Very quickly, it covered everything around him and dyed the white expanse into darkness.
It was pitch black and silent. Suddenly, it gave Chu Mu a deep and lonely feeling. It was very strange. The strange atmosphere spread out, and Chu Mu became alert.
"Could it be the third stage?" Chu Mu couldn't help but guess.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. A pitch-black Sword Light seemed to have appeared in the darkness. It merged into one with the darkness. He couldn't look at it directly or feel it. Just as Chu Mu sensed it, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. His vision quickly fell into darkness.
He was dead.
"As expected, it's the third stage. However, I died in an instant. This is too …" In the secret cultivation room, Chu Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He hadn't even seen his opponent's figure, but he had been killed in a single strike. Compared to the previous two stages, the difference was far, far too great.
After thinking for a while, he came up with nothing. Chu Mu refused to give up and entered the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal again.
This time, he directly appeared in darkness. It was quiet and lonely, and he couldn't see anything. Chu Mu raised his vigilance as much as he could to guard against any attacks.
Sure enough, under full defense, he felt a trace of a strange and sharp ripple piercing towards his heart from behind. Chu Mu immediately reacted to dodge, but he was still a bit too slow and was pierced through from behind. His heart was shattered and he died again.
After thinking for a while, he entered again, but he was still instantly killed.
After a few more times, Chu Mu couldn't help but give up for now. He began to think deeply.
…
The Yang clan had developed for several hundred years, and they could be considered to have a certain foundation.
However, after being extorted by the True Sword Sect for seventy percent of their collection, their foundation had plummeted. This was a huge blow to the Yang clan. For a period of time after that, the Yang clan's disciples were no longer as vigorous as before. This caused the Yang clan's upper echelons to hate the True Sword Sect to the bone.
Not only had they plundered the Yang clan's hard-earned wealth, but they had also struck a blow to the Yang clan's disciples' confidence. Moreover, the Yang clan's wealth had shrunk so much that they had no choice but to slow down their cultivation of their disciples. This had delayed the Yang clan's development.
In short, the True Sword Sect was extremely detestable in the eyes of the Yang clan.
However, they were bound to be strong. If they hadn't agreed at that time, the Yang clan would have been in great trouble. They could only compromise for now.
The Yang clan had been waiting for an opportunity, and that was the only remaining Great Ancestor of the Yang clan. According to seniority, the Great Ancestor was the grandfather of the current Yang clan head's grandfather. He was over five hundred years old, and was the only remaining ancestor of the Yang clan. A few years ago, he had entered seclusion to break through to the Immemorial Realm. The Yang clan had been waiting for his return.
If Yang Gaozu failed to break through, the Yang clan would naturally swallow their anger. However, if he succeeded and became a Saint, it would be time for them to settle the score with the True Sword Sect. At that time, they would take back what they had lost two, three, or even ten times.
Now, the upper echelons of the Yang clan were very happy and excited. Yang Gaozu had successfully broken through to the Immemorial Realm and become a Saint. The Yang clan now had a pillar of support, and their foundation had strengthened greatly.
With Yang Gaozu going to the True Sword Sect, the True Sword Sect's people would have to pay a heavy price for their arrogance.
