For the development of the True Sword Sect, he could become famous, but he didn't like being watched.
If he wanted to leave, no one would dare to stop him. The reputation of a peerless genius was too strong. Even those with higher cultivation than Chu Mu would be intimidated and wouldn't dare to offend him.
When Chu Mu left the Genius Exchange, nearly a thousand people were in an uproar.
Then, they were a bit annoyed. This was a good opportunity to get close to a peerless genius, but because of their clamor, he left. Many people regretted it.
…
Inside the True Sword Tower, Yu Xiu stood beside Chu Mu respectfully and said in a soft voice, "Young Master, there is a person called Li Donglai outside who wants to see you. He said you asked him to come."
"Let him in," Chu Mu said.
"Yes." Yu Xiu bowed slightly and left.
Outside the Peerless Abode's True Sword Tower, Li Donglai's heart was somewhat uneasy.
No one could casually enter the Unique House, but it was different if they were invited. However, even if they entered the Unique House, they had to get permission to enter a certain tower.
It was funny to say that Li Donglai was at the Seventh Sky of Nirvana Layer and an Earth Level genius recognized by the Genius Garden. In the outside world, he would be a target of many forces. But now, he was standing outside the True Sword Tower with a nervous heart and didn't have the demeanor a genius should have.
Yu Xiu's appearance made Li Donglai's eyes light up.
"Come in." Yu Xiu opened a gap in the seal and let Li Donglai in.
On the second floor, Chu Mu gestured for Li Donglai to sit across from him. Yu Xiu poured a cup of tea for Li Donglai and retreated.
"What's your condition?" Chu Mu said indifferently without any pleasantries and went straight to the point.
Taking a deep breath, Li Donglai solemnly said, "I know where to find the Earth Essence."
"How many elemental cores do you want? Or exchange for some treasure? "Chu Mu asked seriously.
"I don't want elemental cores or treasures." Li Donglai said, "I only have one condition."
Chu Mu quietly looked at Li Donglai, waiting for him to speak.
"Kill one person. As long as you help me kill one person, I can give you the Earth Essence." Li Donglai said word by word. His eyes were red. It was obvious that he hated the person he was talking about.
"Who?" Chu Mu's expression remained unchanged as he asked indifferently.
"Why not? He's an elder of the Thunderclap Sect, a late-stage First Heavenly Layer of the Ancients. As Li Donglai spoke, his eyes grew redder and redder. Hatred filled his eyes. "Originally, I wanted to wait until I broke through to the Eternal Ancient Realm to kill him for revenge, but that would take at least a few decades. I can't wait that long."
In just a few words, Chu Mu understood Li Donglai's mentality.
If he didn't kill the enemy who had annihilated his clan, he wouldn't be at ease.
Even if he had the talent, he would be able to kill the other party after he matured. However, it would take a long time. A few decades or even a few years would be hard to wait. It felt like a day was like a year, let alone a few decades.
Li Donglai was the last survivor. When He Buyou found out about it, he chased after him. Unable to resist, Li Donglai could only stay in the Genius Garden for the time being.
He Buyou wasn't a genius, so he wasn't qualified to enter the Genius Garden. To Li Donglai, it was very safe.
His purpose for setting up a stall was very clear. He wanted to attract people with the soil that was stained with the essence of the earth element and see the cultivation level of the other party. If it was a Saint level expert, he didn't need to look at the other party's Genius Token. If it was a Nirvana Realm expert, he would look at the other party's Genius Token and see the other party's Genius Rank.
Originally, he wanted to find a Saint Realm expert, or at least a Heaven Realm expert whose cultivation was higher than his. Eighth Heavenly Layer or Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Nirvana Realm, someone who had a chance of breaking through to the Eternal Ancient Realm in ten years. He wanted that person to kill He Buyou.
He never imagined that he would attract a peerless genius, an Eighth Heavenly Layer Nirvana Realm expert.
He was a peerless genius, and his talent in all aspects wasn't bad. At the very least, he was better than Li Donglai. Breaking through to the Eternal Ancient Realm from the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Nirvana Realm would definitely be shorter than Li Donglai's.
An early aeon genius could definitely kill He Buyou after stabilizing his cultivation base. Even if He Buyou's cultivation base had improved in the past few years, he would still be able to kill He Buyou.
Li Donglai couldn't wait for a few decades, but he could endure for ten years.
"As long as you kill He Buyou, I'll tell you the location of the Earth Essence. The time limit is ten years." Li Donglai stared into Chu Mu's eyes and said solemnly.
"Ten years …" Chu Mu pondered for a moment.
"If you think ten years isn't enough, twelve years is fine too." Li Donglai was like a drowning man who had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
"Ten years is too long." Chu Mu said. Li Donglai sighed in relief. "Where is He Buyou now?"
"He should be in the Thunderclap Sect." Li Donglai said, "However, there are spies in Genius City. The moment I appear, they will inform He Buyou."
"I have to get the Earth Essence as soon as possible." Chu Mu stared at Li Donglai and said neither slowly nor quickly: "Right now, I have two choices for you. The first choice is that I leave Genius Garden with you and wait outside Genius City for He Buyou to arrive before killing him. The second choice is to continue waiting, but once the genius trade fair ends, I'll leave. At that time, I can go kill He Buyou."
"This … this …" Li Donglai was stunned, and he couldn't speak for a moment.
This was too crazy. This person couldn't be an egomaniac, right?
A peerless genius at the Early Stage of the Nirvana Realm was indeed able to kill a Middle Stage of the Nirvana Realm. It was not difficult for him to fight against a Late Stage of the Nirvana Realm. However, it was impossible for him to kill a Late Stage One Star Martial Saint.
"Do you think I'm boasting?" Chu Mu saw through Li Donglai's inner thoughts with a single glance. "You have half a year to think about it. If you go find someone else, it's fine. But who knows, you might be captured and forced to confess."
This sentence caused Li Donglai's expression to change greatly. He had indeed experienced this before. If it wasn't for his wits, he would've lost his life before he could take revenge.
Learning from his mistakes, Li Donglai didn't dare to randomly find someone else. It was either he wasn't strong enough, or he was afraid of the Thunderclap Sect, or he had bad intentions.
Chu Mu gave him a good feeling. Moreover, he was a peerless genius with shocking potential. Killing He Buyou in the future would definitely be easy.
Li Donglai was very hesitant.
"I'll think about it again." Li Donglai said. Revenge was fine, and he was even willing to give up his life. But if he couldn't take revenge after giving up his life, he would be a fool.
"Alright." Chu Mu nodded.
He wanted to get the Earth Elemental Essence as soon as possible. However, there was still half a year before the genius trade fair would begin. He would see if he could get anything then.
As for Li Donglai, he definitely wouldn't leave the Genius Garden during this half a year. As long as he was alive, the clue of the Earth Elemental Essence would still be there.
Li Donglai stood up and left. His mind was filled with thoughts, and he didn't have the excitement of entering the Exceptional Residence at all.
…
On the first floor of the True Sword Tower, Chu Mu was practicing his sword.
Practicing the sword required sincerity and wholeheartedness, without any distracting thoughts.
Pieces of Sword Testing Stones were erected in the surroundings. Under Chu Mu's Sword Light, they were broken and shattered.
The sword had a sharp edge. It could slash, slash, stab, and collapse.
Under the collapse, the Sword Testing Stones were shattered.
Yu Xiu stood in the distance and watched with a face full of shock. She couldn't imagine that without using any powerful sword art, it was only a basic sword art. She also didn't feel the power of the sword intent rule or the fluctuation of origin power. Just a Sword Light was enough to break the hard Sword Testing Stones one by one.
As a maid nurtured by the Genius Garden, her knowledge and experience weren't something that ordinary cultivators could compare with. Her strength wasn't something that ordinary cultivators in the outside world could compare with either.
Yu Xiu had cultivated both spells and sword arts. Although she paid more attention to spells, she was also proficient in basic sword arts. Naturally, she understood the power within them. However, what she saw before her eyes was completely different from what she knew. It was a feeling that exceeded her understanding.
It was only a basic sword art. It didn't contain any other power, but it had such terrifying power. Yu Xiu was very clear about the hardness of the Sword Testing Stones. Even if she attacked with all her strength, she wouldn't be able to cause much damage.
Didn't that mean that the peerless genius she served could kill many Nirvana Realm cultivators with a basic sword art? Even those of the same cultivation level wouldn't be his match.
No wonder he was known as the peerless genius who passed the three tests in the shortest time in the Genius Garden's tens of thousands of years. He was indeed extraordinary.
Yu Xiu's heart was filled with joy. The more powerful her master was, the higher her status as a maid would naturally rise.
In the past, when some of her sisters became the maids of peerless geniuses, even some Earth Rank geniuses had to treat them with respect.
Yu Xiu's eyes widened as the sword pierced through several Sword Testing Stones under the Sword Thrust True Intent.
As time passed, as he comprehended and cultivated, Chu Mu's grasp of the Sword Thrust True Intent became more and more proficient. He had surpassed the initial entry stage and reached the initial stage.
Within the Sword True Intent, other than the Sword True Intent, there was also the Slashing True Intent, the Collapsing True Intent, the Slicing True Intent, and various other True Intents. If he could comprehend all these True Intents, then no matter what angle he attacked from, he would be able to erupt with shocking power.
However, the other True Intents were too difficult to comprehend. Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry.
He stayed in the True Sword Tower, cultivating while waiting for the genius trade fair to begin. During this time, some people used their connections to enter the Unique Residence and came to the True Sword Tower to visit Chu Mu. After Chu Mu received one, the others were all rejected by Yu Xiu. These people's goal was to persuade Chu Mu to join them.
Chu Mu was the master of a sect. How could he join another sect? It would be a loss of face. Secondly, there were constantly people coming to visit him, which would affect his cultivation.
Because of this, those who were rejected couldn't help but say a few more words, causing Chu Mu's name to become even more resounding.
