His sword was like an aurora, piercing through the void. Nothing could stop it, and it was indestructible. Every strike was sharp, light, elegant, firm, and domineering. All of them were aimed at Bai Ling.
Bai Ling was clearly sitting there, but no matter how fast Chu Mu's sword was, or how sharp it was, it could not hit Bai Ling. It was as if Bai Ling was just a shadow, an existence of nothingness.
However, Chu Mu knew that Bai Ling was right in front of him, right under his sword. However, every time she dodged, every time she moved, she was very fast and very subtle, perfectly dodging his sword. Because her movements were very subtle and fast, in his eyes, it was as if she hadn't moved at all.
He used all of his strength and did not hold back at all. He displayed all of his sword skills. If Xia Zhenkong saw this, his eyeballs would definitely fall out of their sockets.
However, such a sword skill could not do anything to Bai Ling. Chu Mu already knew that Bai Ling's level was far above his. After a period of consolidation and improvement, he thought that the gap between them had shortened. He did not expect the gap to still be so big.
After attacking with all of his strength for fifteen minutes, Chu Mu was not discouraged or dispirited. He was calm and focused. In his eyes, there was only one target, Bai Ling. In his heart, there was only the thought of hitting Bai Ling. His mind was highly focused. With the sword in his hand and the sword in his heart, Chu Mu's sword skills improved little by little without him noticing.
It was another fifteen minutes of high-intensity sword attacks.
Bai Ling flicked his finger, hitting the tip of the Sky Beheading Sword. With a clang, an irresistible force was transmitted, causing the Sky Beheading Sword to tremble. Even after using a defensive technique, it was unable to dissipate the force. His wrist went numb, and his arm trembled. Waves of soreness surged, and he almost lost his grip on the sword.
"Not bad. You have completely consolidated the beginner level of having a sword in your heart. You can advance to a higher level," said Bai Ling indifferently. His tone was filled with approval for Chu Mu.
Chu Mu calmly accepted Bai Ling's approval.
"You are already qualified to know the secret of the Sword Sect's Spiritual Seal." Bai Ling's next sentence immediately made Chu Mu's heart skip a beat, and his eyes widened.
"Se … Senior … I haven't defeated you yet, have I?" Chu Mu stuttered as his mouth went dry.
Chu Mu naturally wanted to know the secret of the Sword Sect Spirit Seal, and he had been working hard for it. However, when he used his sword earlier, he knew that there was still an insurmountable gap between him and Bai Ling. It was like a natural chasm, and he didn't know how long it would take for him to defeat Bai Ling.
Now, Bai Ling said that he had the qualifications to know the secret of the Sword Sect's spirit seal. What's going on?
"When did I say that you'll only be able to know the secret of the Sword Sect's Spirit Seal if you defeat me?" Bai Ling asked with a spurious smile.
Chu Mu was astounded, and then he carefully recalled what Bai Ling had said that day. It seemed that Bai Ling really hadn't said that he would only be able to find out about the secret of the Sword Sect's Spirit Seal by defeating him.
Bai Ling must have approved of him a long time ago. Back when his swordsmanship had broken through to the level of having a sword in his heart, it was a pity that he had always misunderstood it. Fortunately, he had come in this time. Otherwise, according to his previous plan, if he wanted to wait until his swordsmanship had reached a higher level before he could defeat Bai Ling, who knew how many years it would take.
He tried his best to calm himself down.
"Senior, what is the secret of the Sword Sect's Spirit Seal?" Chu Mu asked with a trembling voice.
This was because he yearned for the secret of the Sword Sect's Spirit Seal very much.
However, Bai Ling had a spurious smile on her face. She didn't say anything and just looked at Chu Mu, which made Chu Mu's hair stand on end.
"Actually, the secret of the Sword Sect's Spirit Seal is an inheritance," Bai Ling said, which made Chu Mu heave a sigh of relief.
"Inheritance?" Chu Mu was even more expectant. What kind of inheritance would require him to defeat four examinees with superb swordsmanship and obtain the approval of the invincible Bai Ling to obtain it?
"Only the first half of the inheritance is here. The second half isn't here. You have to obtain it yourself." As Bai Ling spoke, she stretched out a finger and pointed at Chu Mu. Chu Mu couldn't dodge, and the finger landed between his eyebrows. Suddenly, a wave of information surged into his mind.
For a moment, Chu Mu couldn't think because the amount of information that surged into his mind was too much. It constantly attacked his consciousness, making him unable to calm down and think.
It seemed to have lasted for thousands of years, but also seemed to have only lasted for a moment. Bai Ling retracted her finger, but Chu Mu's eyes were blank. It was as if he had been immobilized.
There was too much information, and it attacked Chu Mu's consciousness one after another, making his mind rigid and unable to function. He tried hard to organize and mobilize his thoughts to straighten out and read. It took him a full two hours before he had a clue.
"Sword of Heaven and Earth"
This was the name of all the information that Bai Ling had passed on to Chu Mu.
"Sword of Heaven and Earth", a name that Chu Mu had endless associations. What was this?
Swordsmanship?
Cultivation technique?
Secret technique?
Before carefully reading the contents, Chu Mu's heart flashed with a few guesses. However, when he read the contents, he discovered that it wasn't a sword technique, nor was it a technique, nor was it a secret technique. Yet, it was something even more precious than the three. He couldn't describe what it was, because he couldn't give a clear definition.
It was like a handwritten letter that taught people how to practice the sword, or a book that recorded the comprehension of the sword, or a book that recorded the development of the sword and the Way of the Sword.
All in all, it was a very mystical and indescribable thing.
"Sword of Heaven and Earth!"
Chu Mu only read a small part of it, but he was deeply drawn in. The profoundness of it was indescribable with words.
"Senior Bai Ling, is there only the first half of the Sword of Heaven and Earth?" Chu Mu wanted to completely immerse himself in it, but when he thought about how he was in the Sword Sect's spiritual seal right now, and senior Bai Ling was present as well, it would be inappropriate for him to do that. He forcefully suppressed his excitement and forced himself to give up on reading for now.
"You can say that, but the Sword of Heaven and Earth is actually very complete. The second half is a secret technique." Bai Ling said leisurely.
"What kind of secret technique?" Chu Mu's eyes lit up as he quickly asked.
"You'll know when you get it in the future." Bai Ling did not say it out loud, but instead kept him in suspense.
"Then how can I obtain that secret technique?" Chu Mu asked.
"The secret technique is not with me, but in the forbidden area of the True God Sword Sect." Bai Ling said.
"The sect's forbidden area …" Chu Mu frowned slightly.
"You should ask the people of the True God Sword Sect about the sect's forbidden area." Bai Ling said.
"Alright." Chu Mu nodded.
"Whether it is the inheritance of the True God Sword Sect or the increase of your own strength, you must obtain that secret technique. That is the orthodox method of the True God Sword Sect." Bai Ling said with a serious tone.
"I will definitely get it." Chu Mu replied solemnly.
"I hope that the Sword of Heaven and Earth will be of great help to your increase in strength." Bai Ling said, "Also, I have good news to tell you."
With that, Bai Ling paused again. Chu Mu could only look at him and wait for him to continue.
"You have passed the Sword Sect's Spirit Seal test, so you have five chances." Bai Ling said, and even stretched out his palm and opened his five fingers: "You can ask every tester to help you once. Remember, everyone can help you once, including me. The previous one does not count. After five chances, if you are killed, I will not help you again."
"Five chances …" Chu Mu was both happy and surprised.
Chu Mu did not know the names of the first four testers. Other than their sword styles, he did not know anything else. However, it was undeniable that the strength of the four testers was definitely very strong.
Each of them could help him once, which meant that he had a few more life-saving trump cards. Even Senior Bai Ling, who he had defined as invincible, would help him once.
Just how strong was Senior Bai Ling? Chu Mu had no idea at all. He only knew that even if his sword skills kept increasing, he would not be able to defeat Senior Bai Ling. The gap between them was like a chasm. Perhaps one day in the future, he would be able to catch up or even surpass Senior Bai Ling. However, it was definitely not now, nor would it be in the near future.
"Senior Bai Ling, the strength of the four testers …" Chu Mu's voice trembled slightly. He wanted to know how strong the four testers were and what level they were at. Only then would he be able to make good use of them when he encountered danger that he could not handle.
"The first tester is the weakest, at the Seventh Sky of the Aeon. The second tester is at the Eighth Sky of the Aeon. The third tester is at the Ninth Sky of the Aeon. The fourth tester is slightly stronger than the Ninth Sky of the Aeon, but not as strong as a Great Emperor," Bai Ling said calmly. He stared at Chu Mu and saw that Chu Mu's mouth was agape. His face was full of surprise and he seemed to be enjoying it.
"The first tester is at the Seventh Sky of the Aeon … The second tester …" Chu Mu's eyes were wide open. He had no choice. Senior Bai Ling's words had shocked him too much.
The first tester was the weakest, but he was at the Seventh Sky of the Aeon. The second tester was at the Eighth Sky of the Aeon. The third tester was at the Ninth Sky of the Aeon. The fourth tester had surpassed the Ninth Sky of the Aeon and was second only to a Great Emperor.
In his excitement, Chu Mu suddenly paused and stared at Bai Ling.
If the fourth tester's strength had surpassed the Ninth Sky of the Aeon, then what about Senior Bai Ling?
Senior Bai Ling's strength must be greater than the fourth tester's. If that was the case, then Senior Bai Ling's strength must be …
Chu Mu was excited when he thought of that word.
Great Emperor!
In an era where there were no True Gods, Great Emperors were the supreme experts. At least, that was what many people thought. Chu Mu also thought so.
He was only at the Fifth Sky of the Nirvana Realm. He had not even touched the Aeon Realm. He felt that he was still far away, let alone a Great Emperor who was above the Aeon Realm.
"Senior Bai Ling, your strength …" Chu Mu couldn't help but be curious. He felt like a child in front of Bai Ling.
