It was a peaceful scene in the True Sword Sect.
Chu Mu had been away for a few months, which was not a long time at all. The disciples of the True Sword Sect had not made much progress, but the cultivation atmosphere was very good. Every disciple was wholeheartedly devoted to cultivation, forming a healthy competition.
In the Sect Master's Hall, Chu Mu sat on the Sect Master's Seat. Below him were Yun Feng and Yun He, as well as Yang Zhen, the Guest Elder. They were reporting to Chu Mu about what had happened in the True Sword Sect during the months that Chu Mu had been away. In fact, there were not many things that had happened in the Canglan Dynasty.
Chu Mu did not say anything after listening, because these things had little to do with him and the True Sword Sect.
However, the last piece of news caught Chu Mu's attention.
It turned out that not long ago, the Canglan Dynasty had issued an order that a year later, the Canglan Dynasty would hold a Myriad Sect Grand Meeting. The so-called Myriad Sect Grand Meeting was to allow all the large and small sects within the Canglan Dynasty to gather at a special place to display the strength and resources of their sects.
Of course, it was up to them to participate or not.
"Why is the Dynasty doing this?" Chu Mu pondered.
Without a doubt, there would definitely be many sects participating in the Myriad Sect Gathering. After all, this was a very good opportunity to spread the name of one's sect and attract even more outstanding disciples to strengthen the strength and foundation of the sect. To a sect, this was an exceptional opportunity. However, what would the Canglan Empire gain from this?
Would it increase the fame of the sects without any purpose?
Chu Mu didn't think so. Perhaps the strengthening of the sect was beneficial to the entire empire, but that definitely wasn't the main point. The Canglan Empire definitely had other goals, and they had to be goals that were beneficial to the empire.
After thinking for a while, Chu Mu could not think of anything, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Speaking of which, there was still a year's time, and the location had not been notified. Now he had other things to do.
"I made a friend in the Firmament Territory this time. He's a Sword Saint with the Honorable Title of Light Sword Saint and his name is Xia Zhenkong. He's now a Guest Elder of the Real Sword Sect. If he comes here in the future, don't misunderstand," Chu Mu said.
"Radiant Sword Saint Xia Zhenkong …" Yun Feng and the other two looked at each other. They felt that this title and name sounded a little familiar. They tried hard to recall.
The Firmament Territory was adjacent to the Canglan Dynasty. Therefore, many people in the Firmament Territory knew the famous experts in the Canglan Dynasty. Conversely, many people in the Firmament Territory also knew the famous experts in the Firmament Territory.
Light Sword Saint Xia Zhenkong was known as the number one Sword Saint in the Firmament Territory. Of course, they knew him, but they were not sure.
Thinking about it, Chu Mu's cultivation was only at the Nirvana Realm. When he left, he was at the Fifth Sky of the Nirvana Realm. Now, he was at the Seventh Sky of the Nirvana Realm. However, Light Sword Saint Xia Zhenkong's cultivation was at the Seventh Sky of the Eternal Realm.
The Great Light Mountain was famous in the Firmament Territory. Although the Real Sword Sect outnumbered the Great Light Mountain in terms of numbers, there was a huge gap in strength. Xia Zhenkong alone was enough to defeat the Real Sword Sect.
Because of the huge gap, Elder Yun Feng and the other two could not connect the dots.
"Sect Leader, is the Light Sword Saint Xia Zhenkong really the one from the Great Light Mountain in the Firmament Territory?" Yun Feng asked cautiously.
"Yes, it's him," Chu Mu said with certainty.
Yun Feng and the other two's breathing became rapid.
What did this mean? At least on the surface, the Real Sword Sect was a super expert. After all, it was not suitable for the seven Highest Elders to appear in the open.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. In the future, there will be more and more experts in the Real Sword Sect." Chu Mu said with a smile, "Well, if there's nothing else, you may leave for now. Work hard on your cultivation and try to reach the Eternal Realm as soon as possible. In the future, when the Real Sword Sect develops, it will be difficult for the Nirvana Realm experts to become Elders."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
Hearing this, Yun Feng, Yun He, and the other elders were greatly encouraged.
…
"The original mountain gate of the Real Sword Sect was on Lianyun Island," Third Highest Elder said.
"Lianyun Island …" Chu Mu nodded. He was no longer the rookie who had just entered the Deep Blue World. Lianyun Island was north of the Canglan Dynasty. At the end of the island was a vast ocean called the Blue Sea, the only ocean in the Deep Blue World.
Lianyun Island was one of the many islands in the Blue Sea. It was also a very famous island because Lianyun Island was ranked in the top three among the many islands in terms of its size.
Moreover, Lianyun Island was once the mountain gate of the True God Sword Sect. Now, it was the mountain gate of another big sect. It was very famous.
And that big sect was the main culprit behind the decline of the True God Sword Sect. That big sect was called the Heavenly Saint Cult.
The seven Supreme Elders didn't show up because they were worried about the Heavenly Saint Cult. Once the Heavenly Saint Cult found traces of them, the Real Sword Sect might be completely annihilated.
Guest Elders were different. Guest Elders only had a title and a position in the sect. Strictly speaking, they didn't belong to the sect and didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the sect. Once they faced a major threat, they had the right to choose to leave the sect. It wasn't shameful.
Next, the third supreme elder started talking about the Heavenly Saint Cult to Chu Mu.
The Heavenly Saint Sect was a great sect, a powerful sect. It had a history of almost ten thousand years and had nurtured a large number of experts. They had even more Saint level experts than the Purple Thunder Palace. They weren't inferior to the Heaven Vault Holy Land. The only difference was that the founder of the Heaven Vault Holy Land was the Heaven Vault Holy Emperor, while the Heavenly Saint Sect didn't have a Saint Emperor.
However, other than the upper echelons of the Heavenly Saint Cult, no one knew if the Heavenly Saint Cult had a Saint Emperor.
After understanding the Heavenly Saint Cult, Chu Mu asked Third Highest Elder about the original location and distribution of the True God Sword Sect. For example, the location of the forbidden grounds and what the situation was. Although Third Highest Elder was surprised, he still told Chu Mu everything he knew. In the end, Third Highest Elder couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, you asked in such detail. Could it be that you want to …"
"That's right. I want to make a trip to Lianyun Island and enter the forbidden grounds of the True God Sword Sect," Chu Mu said.
"No, you can't, Sect Master." Third Highest Elder's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly advised, "The current Lianyun Island is the territory of the Heavenly Saint Cult. You are the Sect Master of the True Sword Sect. If you are discovered after entering that place, you will definitely die."
"Third Highest, if I don't reveal my identity, they won't know that I'm the Sect Master of the True Sword Sect," Chu Mu said with a smile.
"Even so, the mountain gate of our True Sword Sect might have already been occupied by the Heavenly Saint Cult. It can be said that it's impossible to enter the forbidden grounds." Third Highest Elder said with a bitter smile, "It's also unknown whether the various seals of the forbidden grounds still exist or not."
"Third Highest, I have a reason that I must go, because …" Chu Mu's tone paused, and his expression became serious, "I have already unraveled the secret of the Sword Sect's spirit seal. Within the spirit seal, there is a senior. He told me that the true inheritance of the True God Sword Sect is in the forbidden grounds."
"What!" Third Highest Elder's eyes widened. He was incomparably shocked and excited, "You have already unraveled the secret of the Sword Sect's spirit seal. The true inheritance of our True Sword Sect is in the forbidden grounds?"
"Yes, so if the True Sword Sect wants to rise again, we must go to the forbidden grounds," Chu Mu said.
"Alright, I'll go with you," Third Highest Elder said. He decided to go all out. Even if he had to pay with his life, he had to enter the forbidden grounds to obtain the true inheritance of the True God Sword Sect.
"No, Third Highest, if you travel with me, it'll be easy to attract attention." Chu Mu rejected. With his cultivation at the Seventh Heaven of Nirvana Realm, entering Lianyun Island as a lone traveler wouldn't attract any suspicion.
However, if the Third Highest followed him, it would be strange if a Sword Saint of the Fifth Heaven of the Aeon didn't attract attention.
"But Sect Master, Lianyun Island is still the territory of the Heavenly Saint Cult …" Third Highest Elder was still worried.
"Third Highest, don't worry. The senior in the Sword Sect's spirit seal will appear to help me when my life is in danger." Chu Mu said, "I don't know if Third Highest has heard the news that the Palace Master of the Purple Thunder Palace of the Firmament Territory was killed by a White Sword Saint not long ago."
"The Palace Master of the Purple Thunder Palace of the Firmament Territory …" Third Highest Elder was stunned. Previously, he had lived in seclusion and didn't know much about the outside world. However, during this period of time, he didn't cultivate in seclusion. Instead, he stayed in the True Sword Sect temporarily, so he could get some news quickly.
News like the death of the Palace Master of the Purple Thunder Palace was definitely big news. It was big news that caused a storm. The whole Firmament Territory knew about it, and all the forces in the Canglan Dynasty also knew about it.
The Palace Master of the Purple Thunder Palace was a super expert at the peak of the Seventh Heaven of the Aeon Realm. He was killed by a White Sword Saint who appeared out of nowhere. Many people were looking for the whereabouts of the White Sword Saint.
"Could it be that the White Sword Saint is …" Third Highest Elder was even more excited.
Chu Mu didn't answer. He just nodded. Third Highest Elder stood up and paced back and forth. He was so excited that his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"Sect Leader, can … can … can I meet that senior?" Third Highest Elder's eyes were full of hope.
"Third Highest Elder, the senior won't appear unless my life is in danger," Chu Mu said.
Third Highest Elder's tense body relaxed when he heard this. There was an indescribable regret in his eyes.
"Since the senior is protecting you, you can go. But you must be careful," Third Highest Elder said in a serious tone.
"Don't worry, Third Highest Elder," Chu Mu said.
After returning and staying in the True Sword Sect for three or four days, Chu Mu left the True Sword Sect again. This time, Chu Mu went to the north of the Canglan Dynasty on a new Airship. His destination was a huge island above the Blue Sea — Lianyun Island.
