Chu Mu chatted with Xia Zhenkong for a while, as it was rare for him to meet someone of the same kind who was not hostile to him.
Although Xia Zhenkong was a Sword Saint, and a Seven Star Sword Saint at that, he was not an arrogant person. On the contrary, he had achieved his current achievements step by step, and he was well aware of the hardships he had gone through. Therefore, he always maintained a calm heart.
Having lived for hundreds of years, he had come into contact with a lot of people of all kinds. When he saw Chu Mu, he felt that he was very extraordinary, which was why he wanted to befriend him.
Today, his cultivation and strength were far superior to his opponent's, but in the future, his opponent may catch up to him, or even surpass him. Such examples had often appeared since ancient times.
"The Black Demon Abyss is very dangerous, especially now that the Black Demon Race has gone crazy and is killing the Human Race everywhere. Little friend Chu, you'd better leave as soon as possible." After chatting for a while, Xia Zhenkong said to Chu Mu, and then added jokingly, "The Black Demon Race is ferocious and cruel by nature, and you have a beautiful female companion with you. If you run into them, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
"We're looking for the Deep Blue Divine Pearl," Chu Mu said directly, watching Xia Zhenkong's reaction.
Chu Mu said this because he wanted to confirm whether the Deep Blue Divine Pearl was with Xia Zhenkong.
"Almost everyone who entered here came for the Deep Blue Divine Pearl," Xia Zhenkong said. "It's just that we don't know where that person is hiding, and whether the Deep Blue Divine Pearl has been obtained by others."
Xia Zhenkong's expression did not change in the slightest, but Chu Mu could not help but be a little surprised. Could it be that the Deep Blue Divine Pearl's reaction was not because it sensed that there were other divine pearls nearby, or that Xia Zhenkong did not have that divine pearl...
For a moment, various thoughts flashed through Chu Mu's mind.
At this time, Xia Zhenkong groaned, his body trembled, and a wisp of black qi surged to his face, causing his expression to change dramatically.
Sitting down cross-legged, Xia Zhenkong closed his eyes and placed his sword on his legs. He formed a seal with both hands and began to circulate his cultivation technique.
Waves of dark demon Qi emerged from his body and filled his entire body. His own strength was resisting the dark demon Qi unceasingly. It was as sharp as a sword, trying to destroy the dark demon Qi. However, the dark demon Qi was very tenacious. It was unceasingly absorbing energy from the outside to resist Xia Zhenkong's strength.
"What a powerful dark demonic energy." Chu Mu was surprised, and so was Su Yuexi. The quality of the dark devil qi was much purer than what Su Yuexi could control.
"This is … the energy fluctuation of the Battle Demon King," Chu Mu concluded after sensing it carefully.
Xia Zhenkong's strength was unceasingly resisting the dark demon Qi. Gradually, he managed to suppress the dark demon Qi. However, at the moment when the dark demon Qi was about to be destroyed, a sudden change occurred. A hidden energy inside the dark demon Qi suddenly erupted. That energy was filled with the smell of death. It was like a peerless assassin's attack.
Xia Zhenkong's body trembled, and he groaned, spurting out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, and his body trembled.
"The energy fluctuation of the Earth Demon King …" Chu Mu's expression slightly changed.
Xia Zhenkong was injured by the Battle Demon King and the Earth Demon King.
With a quick thought, Chu Mu decided to help.
"Su Yuexi, can you guide the dark energy out of his body?" Chu Mu asked.
"Yes." Su Yuexi replied, and reached out her hand. Under a suction force, the dark energy in Xia Zhenkong's body was immediately pulled out of his body and flew to Su Yuexi's palm, being absorbed by her.
Not long after, the dark energy in Xia Zhenkong's body was completely absorbed by Su Yuexi, leaving only the death energy that was constantly destroying the vitality in his body.
Since the dark energy was taken care of by Su Yuexi, the death energy was naturally taken care of by Chu Mu.
He pointed with one hand, and a green light shot out from his fingertip. The green light that contained a rich vitality shot into Xia Zhenkong's body, condensing into a sword that pierced towards the death energy.
Chu Mu's Wood Aspect in his heart had been absorbed time after time, and the vitality it contained was incomparably rich. Since he rarely used it, there was still a lot of it left, and it continued to attack the death energy in Xia Zhenkong's body, causing the death energy to continuously dissipate.
Under Chu Mu's control, the vitality was divided into two parts, one to resist the death energy, and the other to repair Xia Zhenkong's body that was corroded by the death energy.
The death energy was ultimately unable to effectively replenish itself. Under Chu Mu's life force, it continuously retreated and scattered. Xia Zhenkong received the support and adjusted his own strength, coordinating with the life force to encircle and annihilate the retreating death energy.
One had to admit that the death energy was very cunning, as if it had its own consciousness. When it sensed that it was not a match for the vitality, it actually wanted to retreat and hide in the depths of Xia Zhenkong's body. Fortunately, Xia Zhenkong reacted in time and encircled it.
Under the two's cooperation, they finally defeated the death energy completely.
Chu Mu then sent another strand of vitality into Xia Zhenkong's body, replenishing his lost vitality.
Xia Zhenkong couldn't help but sigh. If it wasn't because he felt that Chu Mu was extraordinary and wanted to befriend him, he was afraid that his injuries would erupt. Even if he didn't die, he would still be severely injured. It would be very detrimental to his future cultivation, and he might not even be able to make any progress or even regress.
It could be said that Chu Mu and Su Yuexi's help, especially Chu Mu's, saved Xia Zhenkong's future cultivation path. This was a huge favor, not inferior to the favor of saving his life, perhaps even surpassing it.
After all, for a true cultivator, not being able to make any progress or even regress was more terrifying than losing one's life.
Xia Zhenkong stood up and saluted Chu Mu with his sword. It was a great gesture for a Sword Saint to salute a junior in the Nirvana Realm.
"Senior, you don't have to do that." Chu Mu said.
"If you don't mind, we can call each other brothers." Xia Zhenkong said.
"Brother Xia." Chu Mu didn't refuse. It was just a form of address. Xia Zhenkong was much better than Chu Mu in terms of age, cultivation, and strength. They had a good conversation, and they had a good impression of each other. It was reasonable to call him brother.
"Brother Chu." Xia Zhenkong laughed. He then looked at Su Yuexi and said, "How should I address you, sister-in-law?"
Chu Mu was startled when he called her sister-in-law. Su Yuexi blushed.
"Brother Xia, please don't joke around." Chu Mu said helplessly. He had never thought about love, and he subconsciously thought that Su Yuexi was the same. Therefore, he thought that Xia Zhenkong was joking and would make Su Yuexi feel awkward. "She's Su Yuexi, a good friend of mine."
Hearing Chu Mu's words, Su Yuexi's eyes flashed with a touch of disappointment.
Xia Zhenkong saw it and immediately understood what was going on. A mysterious smile flashed across his face. He then looked at Su Yuexi and said, "Thank you for your help."
"Brother Xia, you're welcome," Su Yuexi said softly. Su Yuexi said softly. This made Chu Mu surprised. She seemed to be different from the usual Su Yuexi.
"It seems that Sister Su has feelings for Brother Chu, but Brother Chu didn't realize it." Xia Zhenkong thought to himself, but he didn't intend to point it out. He would let nature take its course. If he forcibly intervened, it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Brother Chu, are you going to leave the Black Demon Pool or..." Xia Zhenkong changed the subject.
"Stay and continue to look for the Deep Blue Divine Pearl," Chu Mu said.
"In that case, how about me?" Xia Zhenkong said. "Of course, if we find the Deep Blue Divine Pearl, it'll belong to you."
Xia Zhenkong's words were sincere.
"Brother Xia's injuries haven't healed yet, right?" Chu Mu said. He had just sent some vitality over, but Xia Zhenkong was seriously injured and had not recovered.
"It's okay, I'm almost there. As long as we don't encounter two Demon Kings, we can fight," Xia Zhenkong said.
"Then let's go together," Chu Mu said.
Thus, Chu Mu's team, from the original two people, became three people.
Su Yuexi didn't express any opinion. She didn't know why, but the way Xia Zhenkong addressed her just now seemed to echo in her mind — — sister-in-law...
Along the way, in search of the Deep Blue Divine Pearl, Xia Zhenkong would chat with Chu Mu from time to time, but most of the time it was Chu Mu asking and Xia Zhenkong answering. After all, Chu Mu was not from the Deep Blue World, while Xia Zhenkong was an indigenous expert who had lived for hundreds of years and was very knowledgeable. He was happy to introduce to Chu Mu.
As they talked, the topic of the two turned to the Deep Blue Divine Pearl.
Xia Zhenkong knew more about the Deep Blue Divine Pearl than Chu Mu.
"There are a total of 18 Deep Blue Divine Pearls. If you gather all 18 of them, you can open the center of the world and find the World Spirit. If you can get the World Spirit's approval, you can become the World Lord," Xia Zhenkong said. "However, these are all legends. Whether it's true or not hasn't been verified, because until now, no one has gathered all 18 Deep Blue Divine Pearls."
"By the way, Brother Chu, since you're also looking for the Deep Blue Divine Pearl, you must be careful of the Imperial Court. They're also looking for the Deep Blue Divine Pearl all over the world. If they find out who has it, they'll snatch it," Xia Zhenkong said seriously.
"Imperial Court?" Chu Mu was surprised.
"That's right. The Imperial Court is an ancient organization, and a very powerful one at that. It's said that the founder of the Imperial Court is a Saint Emperor. He's not the slightest bit inferior to the Canglan Dynasty or the Heaven Vault Holy Land. In fact, he's even a little bit stronger than them. Moreover, the people of the Imperial Court are very domineering. They don't need any evidence, "Xia Zhenkong added, further explaining to Chu Mu how strong and domineering the Imperial Court was.
"If we continue to search for the Deep Blue Divine Pearl, we'll have a conflict with the Imperial Court one day, right?" Chu Mu said.
"Yes," Xia Zhenkong said.
"Why don't you tell me more about the Deep Blue Divine Pearl and the Imperial Court?" Chu Mu smiled.
