(He obtained an eight-sided Han sword. It was made of stainless steel and shone with a cold light. It was perfect for someone as lazy as the Six Paths.)
"We've finally come to the True Sword Sect. We didn't miss the time." A group of cultivators arrived at the foot of Ancient Sword Mountain after a long journey. Looking at the entrance of the True Sword Sect, they sighed emotionally and beamed with joy.
Long ago, the True Sword Sect had already announced that the Ancient Beast Mountain would be renamed the Ancient Sword Mountain. The three smaller cities within a thousand kilometers of the Ancient Beast Mountain would be renamed as well. They would be Iron Sword City, True Sword City, and Ancient Sword City.
The royal family of Canglan had given the Ancient Beast Mountain and a thousand kilometers of land to the True Sword Sect. Everything there, including the cities and the clans within them, were all under the True Sword Sect's control. The city lords of the three cities had been moved away as well. The True Sword Sect had sent people to manage them.
However, the True Sword Sect was currently recruiting disciples, so the city lords of the three cities were empty for now.
It had already been half a month since the True Sword Sect had opened its doors to recruit disciples. More than a hundred thousand cultivators had come to take part in the test.
While recruiting disciples, the True Sword Sect was also busy building palaces, pavilions, and so on. There were also sword training cliffs, battle arenas, and so on.
It was possible to imagine that the number of disciples in the True Sword Sect would increase by several times after the recruitment. The current palaces, pavilions, and so on would not be enough.
During this time, the resources from the royal family had arrived as well. They were all stored in Space Rings, and the Dragonhawk King, who had drunk with Chu Mu, had personally delivered them with his Dragonhawk Guard. This greatly improved the True Sword Sect's reputation, and the people who had come to take part in the test behaved themselves.
Afterwards, the people from the Yellow Palace and Azure Wood Palace arrived as well. They handed over the compensation to the True Sword Sect. They personally witnessed the departure of the Dragonhawk King and his Dragonhawk Guard, which made them feel even more fortunate. They had made it in time. If they had delayed any longer, the True Sword Sect would have taken the Seven Star Sword Saint with them once the recruitment was over. By then, the Yellow Palace and Azure Wood Palace would have faced disaster.
When the envoys of the Yellow Earth Palace and the Green Wood Palace saw with their own eyes that so many sword cultivators had come to the True Sword Sect, only a small portion of them had passed the examination, and most of them were not fated to enter the True Sword Sect, they were even more shocked. It had to be known that many of the sword cultivators who did not pass the examination and were rejected by the True Sword Sect were not bad in their eyes.
As soon as the envoys of the Yellow Palace and the Green Wood Palace left, the Palace Master of the Mysterious Water Palace arrived.
The Mysterious Water Palace Master was a Five-Star Sacred Entity. However, he didn't have the demeanor of a Five-Star Sacred Entity or a Palace Master. He had come with a pleading look.
The Profound Water Palace had lost many disciples and Elders. Even their Six Star Saint Patriarch had perished. The Profound Water Palace's strength had plummeted by more than seventy percent. Fearing that the Profound Water Palace would be wiped out, they had come in person, bringing generous gifts as compensation to show their sincerity and ask for reconciliation.
The compensation from the Mysterious Water Palace was two hundred million upper-grade Origin Pills and five thousand catties of Mysterious Water.
This Mysterious Water was a specialty of the Mysterious Water Palace. It could be used to forge swords or refine pills. It was very effective.
When the True Sword Sect accepted the compensation from the Mysterious Water Palace, the Mysterious Water Palace Master heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that the True Sword Sect would no longer cause trouble for the Mysterious Water Palace.
Speaking of which, the True Sword Sect was currently growing stronger, while the Mysterious Water Palace was declining. The Mysterious Water Palace was no match for the True Sword Sect at all.
The True Sword Sect was buzzing with activity. All sorts of signs indicated that the True Sword Sect was gradually breaking away from being weak and becoming strong.
Chu Mu watched the changes in the True Sword Sect every day. A brand new experience was born in his heart.
The evolution from being weak to being strong.
In the past, the True Sword Sect would not even care about sects weaker than the Mysterious Water Palace, let alone the Mysterious Water Palace. They would not come. Even if someone did come, they would be arrogant and bossy. However, it was different now. The True Sword Sect possessed astonishing potential. The sect had a Sword Saint expert overseeing it, and the Heavensword Sage backing it. It had the recognition and support of the imperial family. The Yellow Earth Palace and the Greenwood Palace had sent envoys to offer compensation in fear and trepidation. The Mysterious Water Palace Master had personally come to plead for reconciliation with the True Sword Sect.
If the True Sword Sect was compared to a person, it would be like a person who was disdained, bullied, and ignored by others when he was still weak. However, when he gradually became stronger, all kinds of fawning, befriending, revering, and roping him in came.
If others were strong enough, there would be no need to curry favor with others, no need to respect others, and no need to rack their brains to rope others in.
Strength. Everything stemmed from strength, whether it was personal strength or the strength of the sect as a whole. Only by becoming strong could one be fearless, able to ignore everything, and do as one pleased.
In the past, Chu Mu had also understood the importance of strength, of strength. However, he had never seen it so clearly, so deeply, and so directly.
Unknowingly, Chu Mu fell into an epiphany. He did not know what it was, but it was just an epiphany. His mind wandered, seeming to understand something, but also not.
…
In the sky, three Sword Light rapidly flew in the direction of the True Sword Sect.
"I can sense it. Master is up ahead," the leader of the three said.
Before long, the other two also said that they could sense it. Their flying speed immediately increased.
These three were the Five Star Sword Saint Merlin, the Three Star Sword Saint Wen Fei, and Dragon Wing. Logically speaking, the three of them should have arrived at the True Sword Sect earlier than Chu Mu. However, they had encountered some unforeseen events on their way inland, which delayed them. Then, they were not familiar with the inland and so on, which caused them to arrive later than Chu Mu.
However, they had finally arrived at a time when they needed people.
Logically speaking, Chu Mu should have sensed their arrival. However, at the moment, Chu Mu was in an inexplicable state of epiphany, so he did not sense them.
With the guidance of the Mind Seed in their minds, the three of them soon arrived at the True Sword Sect and landed.
The arrival of the three Sword Saints naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"Welcome, seniors. May I ask what advice you have for us?" Elder Yun Feng clasped his hands.
"How should I address you?" Wen Fei asked.
"I'm Yun Feng, an elder of the True Sword Sect," Elder Yun Feng said.
"So, it's Elder Yun Feng. From now on, we're in the same sect." Wen Fei smiled, which immediately shocked Elder Yun Feng.
Same sect?
These three Saint-level contenders were in the same sect as him?
How come he had never seen them before?
Various doubts flashed across his mind.
"The three of us are from the Blue Sea." Wen Fei smiled. Merlin and Long Yi did not speak much.
"The Sect Leader is in the main hall of the sect. The other elders of the sect are also there. The three of you can go there." Yun Feng said with a heart full of questions. He still had to preside over the assessment of the inner sect disciples, so he could not leave.
Merlin and the other two could also sense that Chu Mu was in the main hall in front of them. They flew up and entered the main hall of the sect.
As soon as they entered, their expressions changed drastically. They were locked onto by two sharp auras. It was as if if they showed the slightest bit of hostility, the owners of the two auras would explode with a killing blow and kill them.
One of the auras gave them the feeling that a sword was above their heads. They could not defend against it at all, causing their sharpness to be suppressed and their bodies to be unable to move.
"Who are the three of you?" A dignified voice sounded and entered their ears. The aura that locked onto the three of them weakened significantly.
"We are from the Blue Sea. We are Master's servants. Master is the Sect Leader." The three of them hurriedly said. They did not know that there was such a terrifying expert here. A Sword Saint expert.
After speaking, they saw the person in the main hall clearly. Their Master, Chu Mu, was sitting on the Sect Leader's seat with his eyes closed. They did not know what he was doing. As for the other two, one looked familiar, and the other was a middle-aged stranger.
"Sword Maniac … Ling Fengxiao …" The three of them widened their eyes and their faces were filled with shock.
Although Sword Maniac Ling Fengxiao was only a Three Star Sword Saint, his reputation was greater than theirs. This was because Ling Fengxiao's talent was above theirs.
Why was Ling Fengxiao here?
Ling Fengxiao's eyes flashed with surprise.
Plum Blossom Sword Saint Merlin, Splash Ink Sword Saint Wen Fei, and Flying Dragon Sword Saint Long Yi. These three people were also in the Blue Sea. He could not understand why the three of them would address Chu Mu as their Master.
In his eyes, Chu Mu's mysteriousness had deepened.
"I'm now an elder of the True Sword Sect." Ling Fengxiao was arrogant but not blindly. These three people were qualified for him to take them seriously.
The three of them looked at Xia Zhenkong again and felt that he was unfathomable.
"I'm also an elder of the True Sword Sect." Xia Zhenkong smiled. He also noticed how the three of them addressed Chu Mu and himself.
Master and servant!
A Five Star Sword Saint and two Three Star Sword Saints called themselves servants. One could imagine the shock in Xia Zhenkong's heart.
In any case, the arrival of Merlin, Wen Fei, and Long Yi had further increased the number and strength of the True Sword Sect.
Three Sword Saints, one Five Star and two Three Star Sword Saints, further expanded the lineup of the True Sword Sect's experts.
However, the arrangement of these three could only wait until Chu Mu woke up.
Merlin and the other two left the main hall and went outside to watch the assessment of the True Sword Sect disciples.
In the future, the True Sword Sect would be equivalent to their sect.
As they watched, they could not help but overhear some words.
"What? The Heavenly Sword Saint is the ancestor of the True Sword Sect?" The three of them widened their eyes and looked extremely shocked. Their hearts were in turmoil.
It was the Heavenly Sword Saint.
As the humans of the Blue Sea, they had a deeper impression of the Heavenly Sword Saint's reputation. It should be known that since they were born, they had grown up listening to the stories of the Heavenly Sword Saint. Choosing the path of the sword was also the result of the Heavenly Sword Saint's influence.
They had never thought that the True Sword Sect would be related to the Heavenly Sword Saint.
The three of them felt a kind of excitement for no reason. This was a sect related to the Heavenly Sword Saint. Thinking of this, they did not feel so conflicted about being enslaved by Chu Mu.
