The Sword Light was bright but not dazzling. Its aura was majestic, solemn, and carried with it a hint of holiness.
Two figures approached each other on the training platform. The bright Sword Light came into contact and collided with each other.
These two people were Chu Mu and Xia Zhenkong.
Xia Zhenkong cultivated the [Light Sword Way]. His sword techniques had a strong light style. They were upright, majestic, and majestic. The vigor of his aura was astonishing. Every strike contained an astonishing power that suppressed others. Under the illumination of the light, all darkness had nowhere to hide and would be purified and melted.
Chu Mu's sword techniques were somewhat similar to Xia Zhenkong's. Previously, he had comprehended the [Light Sword Stele] and cultivated the [Great Light Sword Technique] so that he could use the moves of the [Great Light Sword Technique] to fight against Xia Zhenkong.
The [Great Light Sword Technique] was an advanced heaven level sword technique. However, Chu Mu did not use sword intent, sword origin, or the power of laws, so its power naturally did not reach that level. However, he could still use the sword moves within it.
The [Great Light Sword Technique] was comprehended from the [Light Sword Stele], and the [Light Sword Way] was also comprehended from the [Light Sword Stele]. Strictly speaking, they came from the same source. Therefore, Chu Mu and Xia Zhenkong's sword techniques had obvious similarities.
Chu Mu did not use his sword intent ability.
The reason why he used the sword moves of the [Great Light Sword Technique] was because he was familiar with it and also because it was a form of feedback.
Although he was just a beginner, Chu Mu's comprehension ability and the realm of his sword techniques allowed him to familiarize himself with the [Great Light Sword Technique] in an extremely short amount of time. He also quickly comprehended it.
When the same sword technique was used by different people, there would be obvious differences. These differences were directly related to the person's height, weight, and other physical characteristics, as well as the person's habits and preferences.
The sword technique that Chu Mu used had a strong light style, like the illumination of holy light. However, it was different from Xia Zhenkong's majestic sword technique in that it had a trace of sharpness.
The same test, different exchange. An extremely exciting battle unfolded before everyone's eyes.
"How is this possible? He's merely at the Fifth Sky of Nirvana Realm. How can he be on par with Master in terms of swordsmanship?" Ning Zichen's usually indifferent expression changed greatly. His eyes were filled with shock.
As Xia Zhenkong's eldest disciple and most valued disciple, Ning Zichen had a good understanding of Xia Zhenkong's swordsmanship. He also knew how brilliant Xia Zhenkong's swordsmanship was. But now, an insignificant Fifth Heavenly Layer Nirvana Realm swordsman was actually on par with Xia Zhenkong in swordsmanship.
After all, in the process of going out to gain experience and tempering, he'd killed numerous cultivators at the fifth or sixth level of the Rebirth Realm.
Did Xia Zhenkong go easy on them?
Although this thought crossed Ning Zichen's mind, he wasn't blind. He could tell that Xia Zhenkong wasn't going easy on him.
Lu Hui and Xu Zhan's faces were filled with astonishment. Their eyes were blank and their mouths were agape. It was as if they were petrified. They could not believe what they were seeing.
Su Yuexi's face was calm. She knew from the beginning that Chu Mu's swordsmanship was extremely high. It wasn't surprising that he could compete with a Sword Saint.
This time, the swordsmanship battle lasted for half an hour. One was a Body Cultivator, while the other was a Sword Saint. Their bodies had completely broken away from the level of mortals and reached a new level of life. Therefore, after half an hour of high-intensity swordsmanship battle, they only felt their blood boiling and their whole body comfortable. They didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, they felt very energetic.
"Brother, you're not being honest," Xia Zhenkong said to Chu Mu after sheathing his sword.
"Brother Xia, isn't it good to have some gains?" Chu Mu smiled and said.
No one else could understand what the two of them were saying.
Xia Zhenkong was saying that Chu Mu hadn't used his full strength, which was to say, all his swordsmanship attainments. After all, he had seen Chu Mu fight many times in the Black Demon Abyss and knew that Chu Mu was proficient in dual swords. The swordsmanship that he was using now was also comprehended from the Light Sword Stele. It could be said that it wasn't Chu Mu's true ability.
But even so, they were equally matched. If Xia Zhenkong had used all his swordsmanship attainments, he might not have been able to hold on for long before being defeated.
He felt helpless, but the swordsmanship that Chu Mu used was from the same source as his. He roughly understood what Chu Mu meant, which was to repay him for comprehending the Light Sword Stele.
After half an hour of fighting, Chu Mu repeatedly used the moves of the [Great Light Sword Technique]. Xia Zhenkong had also learned it. The Great Light Mountain had another inheritance.
"What's the name of this swordsmanship?" Xia Zhenkong asked.
"[Great Light Sword Technique]," Chu Mu said.
"[Great Light Sword Technique] … it's a good name. I like it very much," Xia Zhenkong said.
… …
"With such superb swordsmanship, it's no wonder that Master wants you to call him Martial Uncle," Ning Zichen said softly.
"So what if his swordsmanship is superb? His cultivation is only at the fifth layer of Nirvana. If he encounters a true expert, his superb swordsmanship won't be able to save his life," Lu Hui snorted. Xu Zhan more or less had the same thought. They felt very unconvinced, even though they were very surprised.
Ning Zichen didn't say anything else. He wasn't as shallow as his two junior brothers, but he couldn't call Chu Mu Martial Uncle because his cultivation was at the peak of the seventh layer of Nirvana and he was already preparing for his eighth nirvana. The difference between his cultivation and Chu Mu's was very large.
… …
Chu Mu and Su Yuexi temporarily stayed in the Great Light Mountain.
Although the Great Light Palace wasn't as majestic and vast, it was still very easy for a few people to stay.
The duel with Xia Zhenkong's swordsmanship also gave Chu Mu some insights. He was now quietly cultivating in the cultivation room that Xia Zhenkong had prepared.
The cultivation room was very simple. The wooden walls were covered with seals and there was a faint fragrance that helped to calm one's mind. The room was empty, and there was only a cushion for one to sit cross-legged on.
Chu Mu's eyes were tightly shut. Scenes constantly flashed through his mind. They were the scenes of his duel with Xia Zhenkong. They were replayed very clearly, as if the battle had been replayed.
Xia Zhenkong's realm of swordsmanship was not as good as Chu Mu's, but he had been immersed in the realm of 'One with the Sword' for far longer than Chu Mu. His mastery of 'One with the Sword' was also unique and subtle, which was something that Chu Mu could learn from.
It didn't mean that just because Chu Mu's realm of swordsmanship was better than Xia Zhenkong's, it didn't mean that Xia Zhenkong's swordsmanship had no merits. It wasn't easy for anyone to cultivate, and everyone had their merits. An excellent swordsman should learn from others and use their merits.
As he absorbed, he also compared it with the experience of the Five Spirits Sword Saint to speed up his comprehension.
Su Yuexi was meditating in another cultivation room. Whether it was comprehending the Light Sword Stele or watching the battle between Chu Mu and Xia Zhenkong, it gave her a lot of insights. The most important thing was that she had awakened the Sacred Body of Darkness, which was one of her foundations now.
The initial awakening of the Sacred Body of Darkness still had a lot of potential to be unearthed and strengthened.
Xia Zhenkong was also in the cultivation room. Whether it was the battle with Chu Mu or the [Great Light Sword Technique], they were all obviously helpful to him, so he needed to completely transform them into his own strength.
Everyone was working hard.
… …
After a period of time, Chu Mu successfully absorbed all his gains from the battle with Xia Zhenkong. The realm of his swordsmanship seemed to have improved a little, but it wasn't obvious.
But at the level of having a sword in one's heart, it would take a long time to improve. Even the slightest improvement was amazing.
"It's time to enter the Sword Sect Spirit Seal again," he said to himself.
Last time, in the Black Demon Abyss, Chu Mu definitely wouldn't have been able to leave the Black Demon Race's territory without Bai Ling's help, regardless of whether he was alive or dead.
But because of Bai Ling's help, he had an unpredictable power. He killed the Black Demon Emperor's clone, defeated the eight Demon Kings, and killed his way out of the Black Demon Race.
Chu Mu had always wanted to find an opportunity to enter the Sword Sect Spirit Seal again to resolve the doubts in his heart, but the time was not right in the Black Demon Abyss. Then, in Xia Zhenkong's Honorable Martial's Roar, the time was also not right. It was only now that the time was right.
Taking out the Sword Sect Spirit Seal, Chu Mu focused his mind and entered the Sword Sect Spirit Seal in the form of divine thought.
It was still the same white space. Chu Mu was very used to it, because soon, the white disappeared, revealing the familiar scenery. Chu Mu's gaze was directed to the pavilion in front of him.
It was empty.
His figure flashed, and he appeared in the pavilion.
"Senior Bai Ling," Chu Mu called out, but there was no response.
After waiting for a while, Bai Ling still did not appear. Chu Mu could not help but feel a little disappointed. Just as he was about to leave, a figure seemed to appear from nothingness in front of him. It was Bai Ling.
"I haven't been here for a long time," Bai Ling glanced at Chu Mu and said indifferently.
"I don't have the confidence to defeat you," Chu Mu said.
Bai Ling just smiled gently, "Then why did you come in now?"
"Thank you first, Senior Bai Ling. If you had not lent me your power, I'm afraid I would have died by now." Chu Mu got up and bowed to Bai Ling very sincerely.
"You deserve it," Bai Ling said indifferently. Bai Ling said indifferently, "As the most outstanding Master of the Spiritual Seal in the history of the Sword Sect, you have the qualifications. Otherwise, if I let you die, it wouldn't be easy to find another successor as outstanding as you. Who knows how many years it would take."
Chu Mu just nodded at Bai Ling's words, and was not surprised.
"However, I can't lend my power to you every time," Bai Ling said.
"I understand. It's only real if I become stronger," Chu Mu said with a strong voice.
"You're right to have this awareness. I have high hopes for you." Bai Ling said slowly, "Now, draw your sword. Let me see how your sword technique has progressed."
"Yes." Chu Mu got up. This was actually one of his goals in entering the Sword Sect Spirit Seal.
A sheathed sword appeared out of thin air in his originally empty left hand. It was the shape of the Sky Beheading Sword. Then, Chu Mu grabbed the hilt with his right hand, and threads of sharpness condensed on his body.
