The Myriad Sword Stele trembled and hummed. The lines on the sword steles shone brightly and shot out, causing the stele forest to shake.
Chu Mu was surprised. He stood up and looked around.
At this moment, beside the last of the thirty top grade sword steles, a sword stele broke out of the ground with a rumbling sound. It continued to rise until it finally stopped at a height of nine meters.
On the black sword stele, lines began to appear. Chu Mu stared at the new sword stele, staring at the lines that formed on the sword stele.
There seemed to be only one line, but there also seemed to be many lines. A line of words appeared at the bottom left corner of the sword stele.
"True God Sword Sect's 38th generation Sect Master, Chu Mu …"
"Sword Technique True Enlightenment …" Staring at the sword stele and looking at the lines on it, Chu Mu immediately understood the names of the lines on the sword stele, just like how he would know the names of the sword techniques recorded on the other sword steles.
Sword Technique True Enlightenment!
This was the record of what a sword was and what a sword technique was that Chu Mu finally comprehended after comprehending the 11,350 sword steles and using his own ability to fuse and comprehend, he looked back on his own sword forging process and finally comprehended the records of what a sword was and what a sword technique was.
This was not a sword technique, but a pure comprehension. It was a relatively complete comprehension. It was a comprehension that Chu Mu had walked on the path of the sword until now.
In the future, if there were sword cultivators who had the chance to enter here and see Chu Mu's sword stele, they would be able to comprehend the Sword Technique True Enlightenment on it. And comprehending the Sword Technique True Enlightenment would allow one's understanding of the sword and sword techniques to continue to deepen, reaching a profound realm.
"I didn't expect it to be a top grade sword stele …" Chu Mu was secretly pleasantly surprised.
He was confident that if he obtained the recognition of the Myriad Sword Stele, it would definitely not be a low grade sword stele. It might not even stop at the level of a middle grade sword stele. However, he had never expected it to be a top grade sword stele. But thinking back, with the 11,350 sword steles as the foundation, combined with the Sword of Heaven and Earth's sword momentum, sword forging technique, sword techniques, and so on, it was not strange that a top grade sword stele was erected in the Myriad Sword Stele.
After carefully looking at the top grade sword stele and the Sword Technique True Enlightenment on it, Chu Mu had a new understanding of the Sword Technique True Enlightenment.
"Not bad, a top grade sword stele." Bai Ling's voice sounded in his ears, "You have obtained the recognition of the Myriad Sword Stele. Let's go and receive the final inheritance."
As Bai Ling's voice fell, Chu Mu only felt his vision blur. Light and shadow flashed past, as if they were passing through layers of time and space. When they stopped, the dense sword steles in front of him had disappeared.
In the spacious area, the light was very dim. Looking at the weak light source, Chu Mu was stunned. Following the stairs up, at the end, there was a seat. The seat was high up, isolated from the rest of the world, as if it was located in the deep void.
"This is the center of the True God Sword Sect's forbidden area. That seat is called the Sword God's Seat." Bai Ling appeared beside Chu Mu and said softly. Looking at the seat, there was a complicated expression, "The previous sect masters of the True God Sword Sect had to obtain the recognition of the Myriad Sword Stele to enter here, cross the ninety-nine stairs, sit on the Sword God's Seat, and receive the final inheritance."
"Go up and sit on the Sword God's Seat, and you will be able to receive the final inheritance of the True God Sword Sect." Bai Ling said and did not speak anymore.
"Sword God's Seat …" Chu Mu's emotions surged as he looked at the seat on the ninety-nine stairs with a blazing gaze.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Mu took a big step forward and walked towards the stairs.
These stairs were the stairs in the void. There was a total of ninety-nine stairs, and he did not know what mysteries they contained.
Chu Mu walked to the front of the stairs and looked down. It was pitch black, like an abyss, and it made his heart palpitate.
Retracting his gaze, he calmed his mind and lifted his foot, taking a step forward. His surging emotions also calmed down.
His right foot landed on the first flight of stairs. Instantly, a strange feeling came from the bottom of his foot and spread throughout his body. It was indescribable. His left foot followed closely and landed on the first flight of stairs.
When both of his feet landed on the stairs, the strange feeling became even more obvious. It was as if he had entered a new world in an instant, and the path ahead became incomparably distant.
There were ninety-nine flights of stairs in the void. Each flight of stairs was only one meter wide, and each flight of stairs contained a kind of mystery.
The mystery that could not be described clearly seemed to be helping Chu Mu to comprehend something. It made him feel like he was immersed in it and carefully savoring it.
"The stairs in the void should be able to pass …" Bai Ling looked at Chu Mu's figure and said quietly.
Time passed slowly. Chu Mu was still on the first flight of stairs. The various mysteries caused him to stop in his tracks, and he stood there motionlessly to comprehend.
Suddenly, Chu Mu woke up. The mysteries of the stairs were said to be helping him comprehend something, but he did not comprehend anything. It was only exhausting his mind and delaying his steps.
Luckily, he woke up in time. Otherwise, the longer he stayed, the more exhausted his mind would be, and the more disadvantageous it would be.
Understanding this point, the mysterious feeling instantly disappeared. He continued to step forward, and immediately left the first flight of stairs and stepped onto the second flight of stairs.
When both of his feet landed on the second flight of stairs, a bone-chilling feeling caused Chu Mu's expression to change. His hair stood on end. An incomparably sharp Sword Light came straight at him, filled with killing intent.
His instincts were faster than his thoughts. He immediately dodged, pulled out his sword, and slashed out.
The incomparably sharp Sword Light suddenly disappeared without a trace. Chu Mu's slash contained an unfathomable mystery. He himself did not feel it, but Bai Ling's eyes lit up: "He has already touched the surface of the true meaning of the sword …"
The bone-chilling sense of danger still surrounded him, causing Chu Mu to not dare to relax in the slightest. The Sword Light that had disappeared suddenly reappeared from a strange angle and attacked.
His reaction was quick, and he did not need to think. He immediately dodged and counterattacked.
After repeating this a few times, Chu Mu felt as if his sword had stabbed something. The Sword Light disappeared again, and he naturally crossed the second flight of stairs and stepped onto the third flight of stairs.
The ninety-nine flight of stairs in the air, each flight of stairs contained a kind of mystery. Some of these mysteries were used to delay Chu Mu's progress, some were used to attack and try to kill the person who entered, and some were actually useful to the person who entered.
For example, now that Chu Mu had stepped onto the tenth flight of stairs, he had a mysterious comprehension on the tenth flight of stairs. Although he did not know what use it had, he felt that his understanding of the sword had deepened a little.
He stepped onto the eleventh flight of stairs.
The twelfth flight of stairs … the thirteenth flight of stairs …
Very quickly, Chu Mu stepped onto the eighteenth flight of stairs and entered the nineteenth flight of stairs. He discovered that this flight of stairs actually helped him in his comprehension, as if it was a summary of his experience on the previous flight of stairs.
"Could it be that there are ninety-nine flights of stairs, and every flight of stairs is a summary of the next flight of stairs?" Chu Mu secretly guessed. The truth was not far from what he had guessed.
"Throughout the history of the True God Sword Sect, there were outstanding sword cultivators who had obtained the recognition of the Forest of Thousand Swords, and were able to step onto the ninety-nine flight of stairs in the air. However, there were less than a hundred people who were able to pass the flight of stairs and sit on the Sword God's seat. And there were less than ten people who were able to obtain the final inheritance of the Sword God's seat …" Bai Ling looked at Chu Mu's figure with a deep and distant gaze, as if she had traveled through endless time and space, and saw the figures of the outstanding sword cultivators of the True God Sword Sect advancing on the flight of stairs in the air. "I wonder if you can pass through the ninety-nine flight of stairs, and if you can obtain the inheritance of the Sword God's seat …"
Chu Mu did not know about the glory of the flight of stairs and the Sword God's seat. Right now, he was wholeheartedly moving forward, intending to pass the ninety-nine flight of stairs and sit on the Sword God's seat. As for how difficult it would be, he did not know because Bai Ling did not tell him. And the reason why Bai Ling did not tell him was because she did not want to pressure Chu Mu.
The forty-ninth flight of stairs …
The fiftieth flight of stairs …
The fifty-first flight of stairs …
Unknowingly, Chu Mu had already surpassed many sword cultivators who had been able to step onto the flight of stairs in the past. After all, being recognized by the Forest of Ten Thousand Sword Steles did not mean that one could pass the ninety-nine flight of stairs. That was a completely different test.
Most sword cultivators could only stop at the first thirty-three steps. There were not many who could reach the middle thirty-three steps, and even fewer who could reach the latter thirty-three steps. And just as Bai Ling said, there were less than a hundred sword cultivators who could sit on the Sword God's seat.
Before Chu Mu, the Forest of Ten Thousand Sword Steles had a total of eleven thousand three hundred and fifty sword steles. In other words, there had been eleven thousand three hundred and fifty sword cultivators who had been recognized by the Forest of Ten Thousand Sword Steles and stepped onto the flight of stairs. Less than a hundred of them had stepped onto the flight of stairs and sat on the Sword God's seat. This ratio was one in a hundred.
Such a one in a hundred ratio was not simple, because each and every one of those people would be shocking peerless geniuses in the outside world. Each and every one of them would be able to make a name for themselves and become famous.
Such peerless geniuses were even one in a hundred among the monstrous geniuses. Their value was frighteningly high.
One flight of stairs after another, Chu Mu continued to advance. Even if he was obstructed, he would still continue to advance, like a hot knife through butter.
The ninetieth step …
"There are still nine more steps …" Bai Ling could not help but become nervous. Ninety-nine steps, there were only nine left. Would Chu Mu stop at the front, or would he cross all the steps and ascend to the Sword God's seat? As for whether he would be able to obtain the final inheritance after ascending to the Sword God's seat, that was a matter for the future. It was not something that needed to be considered now.
Bai Ling knew that Chu Mu's talent was outstanding, but in the history of the True God Sword Sect, there were many sword cultivators who were shockingly talented. There were even some who were not inferior to Chu Mu.
The ninety-first step …
The ninety-second step …
The ninety-third step …
Finally, Chu Mu arrived at the ninety-eighth step. Finally, it was the ninety-ninth step.
When Chu Mu stepped onto the ninety-ninth step, Bai Ling's emotions fluctuated greatly. The final moment had arrived, but Chu Mu was in a predicament …
