"This Chu Mu is really hard to deal with. He doesn't want to see anyone. There's no way to contact him or recruit him."
Outside the Genius Garden, inside the Genius City, the people in charge of the various sects and forces were all vexed.
When they first learned that a new peerless genius had appeared, they immediately sent the news back to their respective sects and forces as fast as they could. After the sects learned about it, they also made a decision in the shortest time possible. They sent back the news and tried to recruit as many people as possible. They even sent elders and other people over.
It was a competition between the various sects and forces. Whoever could obtain a peerless genius would have the hope of becoming stronger. Some of the weaker forces might have the opportunity to rise if they could obtain a peerless genius.
The chances of a small force getting an exceptional genius to join them were very small, but they still had to try.
Unfortunately, half a year had passed so far. Other than one person who was rejected by the True Sword Tower, the others couldn't enter the True Sword Tower.
Using force?
Unless they didn't want to live anymore. Although the Genius Garden wasn't a strict organization and was rather loose, there were countless geniuses. Most of these geniuses belonged to various sects and forces. The rules couldn't be broken.
If they couldn't get in touch with Chu Mu, they couldn't talk about recruiting him. Therefore, the people in charge were all vexed and had a headache. But when they saw the others in the same situation, they felt a little better.
"There's nothing to be vexed about. I heard that the people from the four Heavenly Gates were also rejected. Just thinking about it makes me feel much better." A middle-aged man chuckled.
"Hearing you say that, I do feel much better."
The four Heavenly Gates were the four rulers of the Ancient Heavenly Domain. They were the strongest sects, but not all sects and forces respected them. On the surface, they naturally didn't dare to go against them, but they were secretly dissatisfied with the four Heavenly Gates.
The best resources of the Ancient Heavenly Domain were divided by the four Heavenly Gates, and the best geniuses were also snatched away by the four Heavenly Gates. Although strength was the foundation, and people walked to the top while water flowed to the bottom, the other forces were still unhappy.
Under such circumstances, the four Heavenly Gates would only become stronger and stronger. Correspondingly, the gap between the other forces and the four Heavenly Gates would become bigger and bigger.
In the past, every time a Heaven Rank genius appeared in the Genius Garden, they would always be recruited by the four great Heavenly Gates in the end. The other forces did not have a share.
Now, knowing that the four Heavenly Gates were not as successful as before, the people in charge of these sects were all happy just thinking about it.
Compared to their schadenfreude, the people from the four great Heavenly Gates were flustered and exasperated.
Half a year, it had been half a year, but he had not been able to get in touch with that peerless genius called Chu Mu, let alone recruit him.
"Damnable thing, he really wants to do things the hard way. A mere peerless genius dares to be so arrogant?" A deacon of the Heaven Suppressing Sect cursed.
The people from the four Great Heavenly Gates were indeed qualified to say such words. That was because each of the four Great Heavenly Gates had numerous peerless geniuses.
Just the Ancient Heaven Domain alone had a population of hundreds of millions, and the four Great Heavenly Gates were the most powerful sects in the Ancient Heaven Domain. They had the most abundant resources, the deepest foundation, and the best cultivation environment. Naturally, they would attract geniuses. If one was not a powerful genius, it would be difficult to join.
It could be said that within the four Great Heavenly Gates, there were countless Yellow Rank geniuses, Black Rank geniuses were a dime a dozen, Earth Rank geniuses were not few, and there were also some Heaven Rank geniuses. Although there were not as many peerless geniuses as Heaven Rank geniuses, there was still a batch.
One had to know that the four Great Heavenly Gates had existed for even longer than the Genius Garden. Very few people knew about their foundation, and their strength was even more impossible to estimate.
For such ancient and powerful forces, other than recruiting geniuses from the outside world, they were also nurturing geniuses internally. With their foundation and strength, it was not difficult to nurture geniuses, and there were also some peerless geniuses that they had secretly nurtured.
At the very least, after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, generation after generation of inheritances, the number of peerless geniuses had gradually increased.
Therefore, perhaps a peerless genius was rare and extremely important to some sects, but to the four Great Heavenly Gates, they were only worthy of being heavily nurtured.
They even had monstrous geniuses, so a single peerless genius would not cause them to make a big fuss.
…
Half a year had passed, and the decennial Genius Exchange had also begun as planned.
One by one, the geniuses headed towards the Genius Exchange and walked up the stairs.
The decennial Genius Exchange had strict rules. Yellow Rank geniuses could only be on the second floor, Black Rank geniuses could only be on the third floor, Earth Rank geniuses could only be on the fourth floor, and Heaven Rank geniuses could only be on the fifth floor. As for the highest floor, the sixth floor was where the peerless geniuses went.
There were many geniuses in the Genius Garden. If all of them came, the Genius Exchange building would not be able to accommodate them all. Therefore, to participate in the Genius Exchange, one must have the corresponding qualifications.
The so-called qualifications were to show treasures. Only those treasures that were of sufficient value could enter.
Entering without sufficient treasures would be considered a troublemaker.
Chu Mu had killed many sacred rank experts and obtained many of their spatial rings. His spoils of war were plentiful and even though he had used up a large portion, he still kept a few of the more precious ones.
For example, the Water Avoidance Pearl from before. It was an extremely rare treasure, but because Chu Mu had dived deep into the ocean trench, a crack had appeared on the pearl. It was not perfect, but it was still a rare treasure.
Apart from the Water Avoidance Pearl, there were some other items that were also not ordinary treasures. Any one of them would have the qualifications to participate in the Genius Exchange.
Going straight to the sixth floor, Chu Mu also noticed that the other people who walked up to the sixth floor were all peerless geniuses.
The second floor was a large area, the third floor was also a large area, and the fourth floor was also a large area. On the fifth floor, there was a small room that could only accommodate one person. The sixth floor was different. Although the rooms were small, they were very unique. The treatment of peerless geniuses was indeed different.
"Since everyone is here, then the Genius Exchange will begin." A voice came from somewhere, announcing the start of the Exchange.
As the voice fell, rays of light shot out from all directions, finally condensing at the center of the Genius Exchange building, forming a platform.
"Let me throw a brick to attract the jade." A hearty voice sounded. Immediately, an item flew out and landed on the platform. It was a round bead, the size of a fist. It was dark green and emitted pure spiritual energy.
"Little Jasper Bead. Only for exchange, not for sale." The hearty voice sounded. Everyone noticed that it came from the fourth floor. It was an Earth Rank genius.
The Jasper Bead was also a pretty good treasure. It contained rich spiritual energy and was helpful for cultivation. However, for Saint Rank experts, it was not that useful.
"A thousand-year-old snow ginseng in exchange for your Jasper Bead." As soon as the voice sounded, a snow-white ginseng flew out and landed on the platform, emitting a biting cold air.
This snow ginseng was the best of the ginseng. A thousand-year-old snow ginseng was extraordinary.
"Deal."
The first transaction was completed just like that.
The first transaction was indeed throwing a brick to attract jade. Immediately, a second treasure appeared.
The previous transactions were mostly between Yellow Rank, Profound Rank, and Earth Rank geniuses. The Heaven Rank geniuses rarely made a move, and the peerless geniuses did not even make a move.
Because the best things that did not attract their attention would be left for last. They were not in a hurry.
The once-in-a-decade Genius Exchange would last for about a month each time. Now, it had just begun.
Chu Mu sat calmly in the private room, sipping tea while paying attention to the treasures that appeared. At the same time, he divided his attention to comprehend the Sword Universe.
After inheriting the Sword Universe, he would comprehend it whenever he had the time. The more he comprehended, the more he felt that the Sword Universe was broad and profound. It was boundless like the starry sky.
The Sword Universe was indeed as vast as heaven and earth.
Comprehension and cognition. This process was like drawing a circle. When the circle was small, the contact area with the outside world would be small. When the circle was large, the contact area with the outside world would also be larger.
If the inside of the circle represented what was known and grasped, and the outside of the circle represented the unknown, then when the circle was small, the unknown would not seem to be much. When the circle was large, the unknown would increase. This was relative.
Chu Mu was in such a situation now. The deeper he comprehended the Sword Universe, the more he gained, but the more questions he had.
The transactions continued. Soon, the first day passed. The Heaven Rank geniuses and the peerless geniuses did not make a move.
The second day, the third day, the fourth day, and the tenth day passed. On the eleventh day, there were still only Yellow Rank, Profound Rank, and Earth Rank geniuses making transactions.
"Qian Yuan Water Control Art, in exchange for a fire attribute treasure." A stiff voice sounded. It was also an Earth Rank genius.
Immediately, a beam of light shone on the Qian Yuan Water Control Art's jade crystal. Suddenly, a paragraph of text appeared on the light screen. Everyone could see that the text on the light screen was naturally the content of the Qian Yuan Water Control Art. However, it was only the first paragraph, not even one-tenth of the content. Even if they saw it, they would not be able to obtain the complete Qian Yuan Water Control Art. If they could deduce the entire content through this short paragraph, they could completely create it out of thin air.
This was the protection mechanism of the transaction. It allowed people to see a short paragraph of content and distinguish its profoundness. Then, they would decide whether or not to exchange, and what to exchange.
From this short paragraph, one could see that the Qian Essence Water Control Technique was an auxiliary technique, or rather, a secret technique. After cultivating it, one could strengthen one's control over water and the power of water. It had a miraculous effect on the cultivation of water elemental energy, the power of water, and the cultivation of water techniques.
After a glance, Chu Mu lost interest. What he needed was the essence of Heaven and Earth, especially the metal, fire, and earth elemental essences. However, if there were other essences of Heaven and Earth, he would also be tempted.
