The blue sky was clear and cloudless.
A beam of blue light flashed across the sky like a rainbow. It was so fast that it left a faint blue trail behind it.
The blue-robed middle-aged man flew at full speed. Not only was he getting closer to Chu Mu, but he also felt that the Nirvana Realm warrior's aura was getting clearer and clearer. Soon, he would be able to catch up.
Chu Mu, who was flying at full speed, suddenly had a bad feeling. This feeling often meant that something bad was about to happen. For example, a crisis that he could not resist was approaching.
"Could it be that the trace of aura that leaked out from the Deep Blue Pearl attracted the warrior?" Chu Mu thought to himself. Although he longed to fight with warriors and train himself, the opponent's strength should not be too much higher than his. Now, he felt that the approaching crisis and the opponent's strength were not something he could resist, even if he used the Sword God's Descent and the Divine Wilderness Convergence at the same time.
In this case, Chu Mu would not be so stupid as to let the opponent catch up with him.
With a thought, a streamlined flying ship that looked like an extremely sharp longsword appeared. This was the Extreme Peak that the Heavenly Sword Saint Master had lent to Chu Mu.
Entering the Extreme Peak, Ye Futian threw in a large number of upper-grade Inner Elixirs. Under the burning of these Inner Elixirs, the Extreme Peak provided great power to the flying ship. In an instant, the tail of the Extreme Peak spurted out a terrifying power that was enough to instantly destroy a low-level Saint level warrior. Leaving an extremely sharp roar, the Extreme Peak had already turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the distance.
Not long after, the blue-robed middle-aged man flew to the place where the Extreme Peak was activated. He stopped for a while and carefully sensed the remaining aura. His face suddenly changed.
"What a terrifying power, full of destruction …" The blue-robed middle-aged man's eyes were filled with shock and horror. That power made him feel threatened.
"Could it be that there is more than one Nirvana Realm warrior, and at least one mid-level Saint level warrior?"
"No, this destructive aura doesn't seem to be left by a cultivator, but more like … a flying ship …"
"I see. Could it be that the opponent has sensed my pursuit? That's impossible. No matter how powerful a Nirvana Realm warrior is, it is impossible for him to sense my pursuit … "
Various thoughts flashed through the blue-robed middle-aged man's mind unceasingly. Then, he continued to chase after them.
However, there was still a clear gap between his speed and the Extreme Peak's. The gap would only grow wider.
With the Extreme Peak's super speed, Chu Mu soon arrived outside Genius City. Retrieving the Extreme Peak, he quickly entered the Genius Garden and then the Genius Small World.
After an interval of around an hour, the blue robed middle aged man followed the aura and arrived outside the Genius Garden.
"This person is a genius from the Genius Garden." The blue-robed middle-aged man stood outside the Genius Garden and pondered for a dozen breaths of time before he strode into the garden.
…
Within the small world of geniuses, Chu Mu handed in the mission. After proving that he had completed the mission, he would receive a generous reward. What Chu Mu valued the most was the contribution points.
Looking at the thousands of contribution points he had obtained, Chu Mu knew that he was getting closer and closer to his goal.
He didn't check the mission again because Chu Mu felt that he was being targeted because of the Deep Blue Pearl he had just obtained. If he immediately accepted the mission and left the small world of geniuses, he would most likely encounter an irresistible danger. He couldn't use the Extreme Peak every time. That would consume too much energy.
Moreover, after the recent missions and the battle with Liu Bailong, he had comprehended the Cloud Piercing Sword Style and so on. He needed to go into seclusion for a while to digest them.
While Chu Mu was in seclusion, the blue-robed middle-aged man from the Imperial Court was depressed.
He had passed the Genius Garden's yellow class test and entered the Genius Garden. He wandered around and sensed the aura, but the aura was cut off at a certain point. He couldn't continue to pursue it. If he forced his way in, he would only be killed by the high level Saints guarding the Genius Garden.
Only then did he realize that the Nirvana Realm cultivator was a genius from the small world of geniuses. He thought about it and weighed the pros and cons.
The Deep Blue Pearl was extremely important. If he could obtain it and offer it up, he would definitely receive a generous reward from the Imperial Court. His status and cultivation would also rise along with it. He would become stronger and wield real power. This was extremely attractive to him.
Even if he had to take some risks, he had to obtain the Deep Blue Pearl.
He found the upper echelon of the Genius Garden and brought up the idea of entering the small world of geniuses.
Although he was only a yellow class genius, he was still a mid-level Saint. The small world of geniuses naturally wouldn't reject him. After going through the formalities, the blue-robed middle-aged man entered the small world of geniuses as he wished.
After such a period of time, the aura Chu Mu had left behind had already faded. Moreover, the small world of geniuses was filled with all sorts of auras. The auras of many geniuses intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish them.
Although he was helpless, the blue-robed middle-aged man could only wander around and search for Chu Mu's aura. In the small world of geniuses, this was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
…
There seemed to be countless white clouds in Kongming Cave. They gathered and formed a sea of clouds. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing. However, the void was filled with a strange force field. It was like a stagnant swamp.
In this strange force field, Chu Mu's figure seemed to be drifting around, making it difficult to lock onto him.
This was the result of Chu Mu's battle with the White Dragon Gate Grand Elder. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good thing to be locked onto.
With a stab, Sword Light condensed. There was a stunning brilliance amidst the obscurity. It silently pierced through the void and thousands of white clouds.
It was the Cloud Piercing Sword Style that had been further perfected.
After going back and forth a few times, Chu Mu began to practice the God Slaying Sword Style.
Stabbing had its true meaning, slashing had its true meaning as well. Chu Mu's goal was to comprehend the true meaning of slashing.
If he could comprehend the true meaning of slashing, even if it was just a superficial understanding, Chu Mu's sword slashes would be much more powerful. Sword styles like the God Slaying Sword Style that were based on the Sever Word Formula would become even more terrifying.
It could be said that without the true meaning of slashing, the God Slaying Sword Style was incomplete.
Other than the God Slaying Sword Style, there were a few other sword styles based on the Sever Word Formula. For example, the Void Slashing Sword Style, the Flow Slashing Sword Style, and the Extreme Slashing Sword Style.
Just like the three sword styles of the Stabbing Word Formula, the Silent Sword Style, the Sky Strike Sword Style, the four sword styles of the Sever Word Formula, the God Slaying Sword Style, the Void Slashing Sword Style, the Flow Slashing Sword Style, and the Extreme Slashing Sword Style each had their own focus.
There were no shortcuts to comprehending the true meaning. The last time he was able to comprehend the true meaning of stabbing was also a coincidence. The current sword dao was no longer as glorious as it was in ancient times. Many cultivation methods had been lost. Chu Mu could only rely on his monstrous perception to fumble around.
…
"The last aura is here." At the foot of Kongming Mountain, a blue-robed middle-aged man appeared.
After entering the Genius Pocket World, the blue-robed middle-aged man had been walking around nonstop, constantly searching for the aura. His hard work paid off. Finally, after more than a month, he found the aura.
Looking up at the top of Kongming Mountain, a cave residence vaguely appeared.
With a leap, the blue-robed group flew up and soon arrived in front of Kongming Cave.
"I am Lan Yu, a newcomer to the Genius Pocket World. I have come to pay you a visit." The blue-robed middle-aged man stood outside Kongming Cave and shouted loudly.
However, Chu Mu didn't hear him.
After shouting a few times, there was no response, but Lan Yu knew that the other party was inside Kongming Cave.
He attacked the seal, causing the seal to shake and alerting Chu Mu inside Kongming Cave.
Soon, Chu Mu arrived outside Kongming Cave.
"Who are you?" Chu Mu's tone was indifferent.
"This aura, yes, it's you …" When Lan Yu saw Chu Mu and felt the aura on his body, his eyes lit up and he directly reached out to grab Chu Mu. However, Chu Mu was already prepared. He took a step back and entered Kongming Cave's seal. Lan Yu's grab was blocked by the seal.
This seal was able to resist high-level Martial Saints. Lan Yu was only a mid-level Martial Saint, so he couldn't break the seal with brute force.
When he attacked just now, it was because he was overjoyed. After being blocked by the seal, Lan Yu came back to his senses. The light in his eyes was sharp, as if it could pierce through the void. Then, he retracted the light and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Junior, I am a deacon of the Imperial Court. Do you know the Imperial Court? It is an extremely powerful organization, founded by a Martial Saint Emperor. It is no weaker than the four Heavenly Gates. "Lan Yu smiled.
"Oh." Chu Mu replied indifferently, which made Lan Yu feel depressed. However, he had to maintain his smile and maintain a friendly appearance.
"Little friend, the Imperial Court is not only powerful, but it is also more secretive than the four Heavenly Gates. I am a deacon of the Imperial Court and my job is to find true geniuses and nurture them. In the future, it will be easy for them to become Martial Saints, let alone high-level Martial Saints. They might even become peerless experts." Lan Yu opened his mouth and tried to tempt Lin Fan.
"Oh." Chu Mu's reaction was still so calm because he already knew what kind of organization the Imperial Court was from Xia Zhenkong.
Lin Fan's calm reaction almost made Lan Yu go crazy. His desire to get the Deep Blue God Pearl attacked his rationality. But he also understood that if he showed any ill intentions, Lin Fan wouldn't leave the seal and he wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Moreover, if he attacked, he would definitely attract the attention of others. At that time, he wouldn't be able to gain anything.
"Little friend, please open the seal and let me in. I will tell you about the Imperial Court in detail. With your talent, once you join the Imperial Court, you will definitely be nurtured to the highest level and become a peerless expert." Lan Yu continued. He started to try to trick Lin Fan.
"What is your goal? Just say it." Chu Mu said calmly. He didn't show any signs of opening the seal. He wasn't stupid. Lan Yu was a mid-stage Martial Saint and he wanted to attack him from the start. Opening the seal was the same as letting a wolf into the house.
"Little friend, a month ago, in a sect called the White Dragon Gate, did you get a dark blue pearl? This big …" Lan Yu described the appearance of the Dark Blue Sacred Pearl. "That thing, if you get it, I'm willing to buy it from you for a million high-grade elemental pills."
"You are too naive." A trace of disdain flashed through Chu Mu's eyes. He no longer paid attention to Lan Yu and turned around to walk into the cave, leaving behind a stunned and angry Lan Yu.
