After I uploaded the first chapter yesterday at six o 'clock, my wife asked me to help her bathe the baby. After bathing, the baby's grandparents said that they missed him after not seeing each other for a few days, so we video-chatted for a while. After that, Six Paths went to cook. Only after I finished my meal did I realize that I forgot to update the chapter. Normally, Six Paths would update the first chapter at around six o' clock in the evening. Since the beginning of the novel until now, I have never stopped updating the chapter no matter if I am sick or if my family is sick.
"Fourth Elder, is Chu Mu really a disciple of our Chu Family?"
Chu Xiuze asked after leaving the Kongming Mountain. Chu Mu's attitude was very firm, which made his thoughts waver.
"According to our elders' analysis, most likely." The Fourth Elder said after pondering for a while.
"Then what should we do now?" Chu Xiuze asked. He naturally hoped that Chu Mu was a disciple of their Chu Family. That way, the Chu Family would have a monstrous genius, and then the Chu Family would be able to develop and become stronger.
"It's very simple. Spread the news and let everyone know that Chu Mu has our Chu Family's bloodline and is a disciple of our Chu Family." Fourth Elder said, "If he still refuses to admit it, come to our Chu Family to verify the bloodline."
"Fourth Elder, isn't that a bad idea?" Chu Xiu Ze hesitated for a moment before speaking. This method was equivalent to making a decision without the other party's consent. It was quite a bit of coercion. A monstrous genius was proud. How could he be willing to be coerced? If something went wrong and he offended the other party instead, wouldn't the losses outweigh the gains?
Chu Xiuze's concern was very reasonable.
Offending a monstrous genius was not something fun.
"Don't worry, he is a disciple of our Chu Family. He might be a bit emotional at the beginning, but it will be fine in the end." The Fourth Elder said.
Since that was the case, Chu Xiuze didn't say anything more, but he still felt uneasy.
…
The news spread quickly.
"What? Chu Mu is a disciple of the Sky Mountain City's Chu Family? "
"Chu Mu is the patriarch of the True Sword Sect of the Canglan Dynasty. What does he have to do with the Sky Mountain City's Chu Family?"
"You don't know about this. Back then, a genius of the Chu Clan went out to train and left behind a bloodline outside."
All kinds of discussions spread throughout the Ancient Heavenly Domain.
"Chu Mu is a disciple of the Heavenly Mountain City's Chu Clan?" Lian Hongyun and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this. They looked at each other in dismay and then smiled.
"The Sky Mountain City's Chu Clan really knows how to flatter themselves." Yang Zhantian said. Indeed, Chu Mu was a monstrous genius with boundless potential. Even if he couldn't become a Heavenly Emperor in the future, he would at least surpass the Nine Star Saint Realm.
A peerless genius who surpassed the Nine Star Saint level could establish a first-rate force. As for the Chu Clan of Heaven Mountain City, it was only a quasi-first-rate force.
…
Chu Mu was still unaware of this news because he had already closed the Hollow Chime Cave and started a new round of seclusion.
Chu Mu had a feeling that he would gain something from this seclusion. However, he had no way of knowing what it was. He would only know after he obtained it.
Inside the Hollow Chime Cave, Chu Mu held a sword and practiced sword arts.
It had already been more than a month since his battle with Ao Zhenheng. Chu Mu's gains were great.
Suddenly, his sword paused slightly, and his eyes became cold and sharp. The aura on his body was sharp but also contained a trace of lightness. Swish, swish, swish. In an instant, eighteen rays of sword light were astonishingly sharp and lightning-fast. They slashed out from different angles, attacking the front and trying to kill.
If Ao Zhenheng saw this scene, his eyes would immediately pop out. He was so shocked that his eyeballs would fall out.
Because the sword art Chu Mu was using now was a sword art that belonged to the Shattering Heaven Palace: Flying Heaven Eighteen Swords.
For a normal sword cultivator, it would take at least a year for them to familiarize themselves with the Eighteen Flying Swords. It would take them three years to master the Eighteen Flying Swords. It would take them at least ten years to comprehend its essence and grasp its essence.
Ao Zhenheng was known as a monstrous sword cultivator. From practicing to mastering the essence of the Eighteen Flying Heavens Swords, it took him half a year's time. This kind of speed was very fast. In the Broken Heaven Palace, since ancient times, he could be ranked in the top three.
Now, Chu Mu had only used a little more than a month to master the Flying Heaven Eighteen Swords. Moreover, he had grasped its essence and derived his own unique insights. The most important thing was that Chu Mu did not obtain the secret manual of the Flying Heaven Eighteen Swords. He had only fought with Ao Zhenheng, experienced Ao Zhenheng's moves, and then mastered them.
If the Shattering Heaven Palace Master knew this, perhaps he would not have given Ao Zhenheng any choice. Instead, he would have directly killed Chu Mu to prevent future troubles.
Chu Mu continued to practice the sword art. Ao Zhenheng had used more than a dozen sword arts in the battle, and they were all performed under Chu Mu's sword.
The power of these sword arts was not weak. Most of them barely had the power of a low level sword art in the Forest of Ten Thousand Sword Stele. A few of them could even be compared to a middle level sword art.
Chu Mu would not use these sword arts in battle. The difference between their power and the three major sword arts was too great. The reason why he practiced and mastered them was to broaden his horizons and increase his accumulation of sword arts.
More than a dozen sword arts were nothing. However, Chu Mu was very interested in the secret techniques that Ao Zhenheng had mastered, especially the Sword Qi Doppelganger secret technique.
Sword Qi Doppelganger, a Sword Qi doppelganger with the same strength as the main body. Under the control of the main body, the strength of the doppelganger would increase several times. Especially for someone like Chu Mu, who was proficient in dual swords, it would become even more terrifying.
"There should be more to the Sword Qi Doppelganger secret technique." Chu Mu stopped practicing and thought to himself.
With his current horizons, he could see some of the mysteries of the Sword Qi Doppelganger secret technique. He could also deduce that there were deeper changes to the Sword Qi Doppelganger secret technique.
After thinking for a while, Chu Mu had some ideas.
"The Sword Qi Doppelganger has no consciousness. If this secret technique is developed to a high level, it might be able to create a doppelganger with its own consciousness," Chu Mu thought to himself. He exhaled, and some fear flashed in his eyes.
He did not know if his speculation was correct. If it was true, then the secret technique after the Sword Qi Doppelganger secret technique should be very terrifying.
The Sword Qi Doppelganger did not have any consciousness and was controlled by the main body. Therefore, it could cooperate with the main body very well. This was a good thing, but it still lacked flexibility and autonomy.
If the Sword Qi Doppelganger had its own consciousness, it would become an independent entity. It would be even more flexible and powerful.
"If I can get the Sword Qi Doppelganger secret technique, my strength will increase by a lot," Chu Mu thought to himself. Unfortunately, he could not get it.
Dispelling this thought, Chu Mu started practicing swordsmanship again.
Swordsmanship had to be combined with footwork in order to maximize its power. Otherwise, there would be a limit to pure swordsmanship. This limit would prevent the full power of the swordsmanship from being unleashed.
Chu Mu had amazing attainments in swordsmanship, but he did not pay enough attention to footwork and body movement.
If he could make a breakthrough in footwork and body movement, his strength would increase significantly.
Cultivation, continuous cultivation, one sword technique after another was performed under Chu Mu's sword.
Ao Zhenheng's dozens of sword techniques, as well as the sword techniques that he had comprehended in the Forest of Ten Thousand Sword Steles, were performed to his heart's content. He was very familiar with each and every one of them.
There was no strongest, only stronger.
While practicing, Chu Mu got rid of all distracting thoughts. In his mind, there were only sword techniques and sword moves. Unknowingly, his body and footwork were compatible with the sword techniques and sword moves.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed in his cave residence.
While practicing, Chu Mu suddenly paused. His body and movements froze, and his eyes shone with a bright light. It was a kind of light that belonged to wisdom. It was a kind of light that came from suddenly comprehending something and understanding something.
It was a sudden realization that came naturally. It was a great realization that had been accumulated over time.
"Although I can't do the Sword Qi Doppelganger, I can do this." As soon as his voice fell, Chu Mu took a step forward. Suddenly, a figure was left on the spot, while the real body appeared in another place.
The figure that was left on the spot was lifelike. It stayed there for three breaths of time before fading, and five breaths of time before disappearing.
With another step, another figure was left on the spot. Chu Mu continued to take steps, leaving behind figures that seemed endless, filling the cave residence. Each figure was left for a few breaths of time. They were so lifelike that it was impossible to tell if they were real or fake with the naked eye. It was as if there were countless Chu Mu's appearing in the cave residence at the same time.
After a pause, the figures disappeared one by one. Chu Mu stood in the cave residence with joy in his eyes.
"Integrating Sword Qi into my footwork and body movement to leave behind afterimages to confuse the enemy. It will definitely have a miraculous effect in battle." Chu Mu muttered to himself, "In that case, this move will be called Sword Qi Doppelganger. Sword Qi Doppelganger is an afterimage left behind by integrating Sword Qi into a body movement and body movement. It is not considered a body movement or a body movement, but it is equivalent to a unique combination of body movement and body movement."
As he spoke, Chu Mu took another step forward. Another afterimage appeared on the spot, and another one appeared a few feet away. It was exactly the same.
The real body stared at the Sword Qi Doppelganger. It faded after three breaths of time, and disappeared after five breaths of time.
"The appearance is exactly the same, and it is impossible to tell with the naked eye. However, the aura is much weaker, and it is not agile enough …"
With a single glance, Chu Mu saw the flaw in it.
The Sword Qi Doppelganger was only in the initial stage, and the flaws were very obvious. It still needed further improvement.
After understanding the flaws, Chu Mu had a clearer target for improvement.
After thinking for a moment, he took another step forward. A figure stopped at the same spot. This time, it faded after three breaths of time, and disappeared after five breaths of time. However, Chu Mu carefully observed the changes in the aura. Compared to before, the aura was stronger and more agile. It was closer to the real body.
The Sword Qi Doppelganger was an unexpected yet expected gain. The Sword Qi Doppelganger should have the same aura as the real body, and the same agility. This way, it would be even more difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and it would be even more effective in confusing the enemy.
As for the time it could stay, three breaths of time was actually enough.
In a battle between experts, one breath of time was enough to determine victory and defeat, life and death. Three breaths of time was very long. However, if he could extend the time it could stay, it would be extremely good.
