The Genius City was a rather famous city in the Ancient Heaven Domain.
The Genius City wasn't famous because of how big the city was. In fact, there were many cities that were bigger than the Genius City in the Ancient Heaven Domain. There were at least a hundred of them.
The reason why Genius City was famous wasn't because it was rich in resources, but because in the Ancient Heavenly Domain, Genius City couldn't even be ranked in the Ancient Heavenly Domain.
However, the Genius City was very famous. Almost everyone in the Ancient Heaven Domain knew about it.
A long time ago, this city wasn't called the Genius City, but another name. That was because in a hundred years, a dozen exceptional geniuses had appeared in this city. Every one of them had become a high-level Saint expert. Their fame had spread throughout the Ancient Heaven Domain. In the end, the city was renamed the Genius City.
Subsequently, exceptional geniuses had appeared continuously in the Genius City. On average, there was one every few decades, causing the Genius City's fame to grow.
In the Deep Blue World, geniuses could be divided into several levels.
Yellow geniuses were slightly more outstanding than ordinary cultivators. They were one in ten thousand.
Black geniuses surpassed Yellow geniuses. They were one in ten thousand.
Earth geniuses surpassed Black geniuses. They were one in a million.
Heaven geniuses surpassed Earth geniuses. They were one in ten thousand.
Exceptional geniuses were above Heaven geniuses. They were one in a hundred million.
Note that this kind of selection of one in a hundred thousand didn't apply to everyone, but to cultivators. That was because not everyone had the talent for cultivation and could become a cultivator.
The ratio of ordinary people to cultivators was about ten to one.
Calculating it this way, it meant that among everyone, there would only be one exceptional genius in a billion. That was only in theory. In reality, it might be even less.
In a city, a dozen exceptional geniuses had appeared in a hundred years. After that, there would be another exceptional genius every forty to fifty years. There were even more geniuses of other levels.
The Genius City lived up to its name.
After the first dozen exceptional geniuses had become high-level Saints, they had returned to the Genius City and established the Genius Exchange.
As the name implied, only geniuses had the qualifications to enter and trade.
Geniuses often couldn't be understood with common sense. They might have some treasures on them that others didn't have, but they also needed them. Thus, the Exchange was born, and geniuses traded with each other.
When Xia Zhenkong found out that Chu Mu was looking for the essences of the five elements and eight phases, he recommended him to go to the Ancient Heaven Domain's Genius City.
As for whether Chu Mu could enter the exchange, Xia Zhenkong wasn't worried at all. If Chu Mu couldn't enter, then no one in this world could be called a genius.
In Xia Zhenkong's opinion, the so-called exceptional geniuses were no match for Chu Mu.
Genius City was famous because of the large number of geniuses it produced. At the same time, it attracted a large number of geniuses from afar.
Some people said that in other places, it might be hard to find a genius, but in Genius City, if you threw a stone and hit ten people, there would definitely be two or three geniuses.
This statement was indeed a little exaggerated, but it also meant that the number of geniuses in Genius City far exceeded that of other places. Most of the geniuses were attracted by the fame of Genius City.
For example, Chu Mu.
After several months of flying at full speed, using a flying ship faster than the Purple Thunderbolt and consuming tens of millions of high-grade origin pills, Chu Mu had finally resisted the Ancient Heaven Domain and arrived outside Genius City. He was about to step into Genius City.
The gates of Genius City were wide open. There were no guards, so anyone could enter and leave at will.
Although Genius City wasn't considered big in the Ancient Heaven Domain and it might not even be ranked in the top 100, it was still huge compared to the many cities of the Canglan Dynasty.
Every inch of the ancient city exuded the aura of an outstanding person.
As he strolled along the streets, Chu Mu held the Sky Beheading Sword in his left hand. Wisps of aura kept flowing from his body into the Sky Beheading Sword and back into Chu Mu's body, forming a cycle over and over again.
The Sky Beheading Sword could be kept in his body, but ever since he had comprehended the sword in his heart and obtained the inheritance of the Sword World, he understood one thing. With a sword in hand, maintaining the flow of aura between the sword and the user at all times would help in deepening his understanding and control of the sword.
This was because sword cultivators used their hands to wield their swords. Their hands were in direct contact with the sword, which was different from nurturing it in the body.
The streets of Genius City were very wide. It could accommodate twenty horses at the same time without being crowded.
People came and went, and it was very lively. Many people were either carrying swords or carrying swords on their backs. Unusual auras emanated from their bodies. Some were fierce, some were firm, some were gentle, and some were obscure.
Chu Mu even saw a few people from the Celestial Race. Men and women were walking side by side. Everywhere they passed, many people automatically retreated.
The appearance of the people of the Celestial Race was not much different from that of the Human Race, but their auras were different. They always had a sense of superiority. Their appearance was that the men were handsome and confident, and the women were noble and beautiful. In other words, it was impossible to find an ugly person in the Celestial Race. Not to mention ugly, there weren't even any ordinary clansmen.
Any member of the Celestial Race, when placed in the Human Race, could be described as a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Coupled with the noble temperament they naturally exuded, countless people pursued them endlessly.
The people of the Celestial Race had a natural sense of superiority, so much so that when they treated other races, they would always have a superior attitude. It was as if in the entire world, only the Celestial Race was the most outstanding race. However, many people fell for this trick. The fact that they automatically made way for the people of the Celestial Race was a very direct proof.
This was the second time Chu Mu had seen the people of the Celestial Race. The first time was in the Black Demon Abyss of the Firmament Territory.
Passing by a few Heaven Race people, Chu Mu kept a distance from them. He did not intentionally target them, nor did he intentionally avoid them. Everything was going to happen naturally.
"Brother, may I ask where the Genius Garden is?" Chu Mu stopped a person on the side of the road and asked.
"Genius Garden..." The person who was stopped was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and pointed to the street behind him, "It's over there. As long as you walk straight ahead, you can see the Genius Garden."
"Thank you." Chu Mu said indifferently, and once again walked forward.
After a quarter of an hour, Chu Mu still did not see the Genius Garden. According to what that person said, he could see it if he walked straight ahead, which meant that the Genius Garden was very eye-catching. There were only two possibilities left. One was that that person was teasing Chu Mu, and the other was that the Genius Garden had not arrived yet.
The possibility of the first possibility was very low. After all, Chu Mu's tone was indifferent and gentle, not aggressive at all, and not to the extent of making the other party feel disgusted.
With a thought in his mind, Chu Mu did not stop and continued to walk forward.
With his speed, every step he took seemed slow, but in reality, he was already several meters away. He continued to move forward, and was even faster than a BMW. Even so, it took half an hour for Chu Mu to see the so-called Genius Garden.
It was a three-story pavilion. The pavilion looked very simple, as if it had been there for many years.
There was a huge plaque on the door of the pavilion. On it were the three golden words "Genius Garden". Even without sunlight, it was still shining with a golden light. It was very eye-catching. Unless one was blind, they would definitely see it.
According to Xia Zhenkong, the so-called Genius Exchange was inside the Genius Garden.
However, it was not that easy to enter the Genius Garden. To many people, the Genius Garden was a place that they yearned for, something that they could only look at but not reach.
Just look at the many people who passed by the Genius Garden. Look at their expressions, their eyes, and the envy and yearning that came from their bones, from their hearts, and from the depths of their souls.
Chu Mu strode towards the entrance of the Genius Garden. Immediately, many gazes fell on him.
Just as he stepped onto the stairs, Chu Mu felt an unusual atmosphere. Just as he stepped into the door of the genius garden pavilion, he hadn't even completely walked in when a person appeared in front of him. Without any sound, like a ghost, he suddenly appeared and blocked Chu Mu's path.
"What's the matter?" This person looked like a waiter. He had an ordinary appearance and his eyes didn't have any divine light. If he were placed in a restaurant, he would definitely be mistaken for a waiter. It was hard to imagine that he had extraordinary strength.
"Examination." Chu Mu said.
"Do you have a referral?" The waiter asked.
"Yes." Chu Mu said.
Before coming, Xia Zhenkong had already explained the rules of the Genius Garden to Chu Mu.
To enter the Genius Garden, geniuses who had already passed the examination could enter at any time. For people like Chu Mu, who came for the first time, they had to pass the examination first.
In order to take the examination, there had to be a referral. Without a referral, it would be more troublesome and time-consuming.
Xia Zhenkong was Chu Mu's referral.
Since Chu Mu said that he had a referral, the waiter didn't make things difficult for him. He brought Chu Mu to the second floor of the pavilion.
"Lord Deacon, this person is applying for the examination," said the waiter to a middle-aged man on the second floor.
"Do you have a referral?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Yes." The waiter replied.
"Alright, you can leave." The middle-aged man looked at Chu Mu. "Please show me your referral letter."
A special letter immediately appeared in Chu Mu's hand. This letter was given to him by Xia Zhenkong.
The middle-aged man took it and looked at it. Astonishment immediately appeared on his face.
"This is indeed a letter from the Genius Garden. You can actually get a Tian rank genius to be your referral. It seems your talent is no small matter." The cyan robed middle aged man's tone was a bit more fervent, and the way he looked at Chu Mu had also changed.
