"Ten-thousand-year-old Blood Clotting Grass."
"Ten-thousand-year-old Blood Red Flower."
"This is … a hundred thousand years … a hundred thousand years …"
"Haha, good stuff. Opportunities are everywhere. These spiritual herbs are all mine. All of you scram, or I'll kill you without mercy."
"I was the one who found these spiritual herbs first. Why are they all yours?"
"Die!" Since they couldn't get along with each other, they would draw their swords and fight.
In the Eternal Sacred City, there were many things that had decayed due to the passage of time, losing their original power. However, there were some things that had taken advantage of the situation to grow.
Blood Clotting Grass, Blood Red Flower, these kinds of spiritual herbs were considered ordinary in the outside world. They were usually used to refine blood replenishing pills, and their value wasn't high.
However, those Blood Clotting Grass and Blood Red Flowers were only a few years old. At most, they were a few dozen years old.
At the age of a thousand years, even an ordinary Spiritual Medicine would have an extraordinary value. Moreover, it was rare for an ordinary Spiritual Medicine to appear at a high age because no one would specially cultivate it for such a long time. As such, under certain circumstances, the value of an ordinary Spiritual Medicine with a high age would not be inferior to those precious Spiritual Medicines.
Ten-thousand-year-old or even hundred-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were enough to drive people crazy. Even Saint realm experts were no exception.
Similar things were happening in the Eternal Sacred City.
The Eternal Sacred City was indeed huge. Tens of millions of people who entered were like stones sinking into the sea. However, as time passed, it was inevitable for people to run into each other. Once they ran into each other, there was a high chance that a conflict would break out.
Since entering the Eternal Sacred City, Chu Mu had killed eight small tormented souls and three large tormented souls. He had also found several ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.
The spiritual herbs here all had one thing in common, and that was that they were rich in blood qi and also contained a strong murderous aura. This was the result of being soaked in the murderous aura of the Eternal Sacred City for a long time. If they couldn't endure it, they would wither and disappear. If they could endure it, they would transform.
Fighting, killing, and being attacked by the murderous aura would temper one's will to a certain extent, making it purer and tougher.
As he walked, Chu Mu's expression suddenly changed.
"I can't suppress it anymore," Chu Mu muttered to himself. His eyes flashed as he quickly looked around.
More than a year ago, his cultivation had reached the peak of the eighth level of the Nirvana Realm. At that time, he could actually try to break through to the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm. However, he heard that breaking through in the Ancient Sacred City would bring additional benefits, so Chu Mu had been suppressing it.
After more than a year, even if he didn't deliberately cultivate, his cultivation base had improved little by little, and his foundation had become more solid. After entering the Eternal Sacred City, he had fought a few battles, especially with the Great Tormented Spirit, which was an excellent training for him. His strength and spirit had become purer and smoother.
At this point, Chu Mu could no longer suppress it. He only felt that the sword origin in his Dantian was boiling like boiling water. The power in his body was also constantly surging, forcing the surrounding air away. In his spiritual world, his divine thoughts were like waves.
If he continued to forcefully suppress it, it would only bring about negative consequences over time.
Chu Mu was looking for a suitable place to undergo Nirvana.
The commotion during Nirvana would certainly attract many people's attention. Perhaps, it would also attract a large number of tormented spirits. If he wasn't careful, not only would he fail to undergo Nirvana, but he would also get himself killed. Then, the loss would outweigh the gain.
He had to find a relatively safe place.
His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and his mind kept replaying the places he had been to before, trying to find a suitable place to break through.
Chu Mu's memory was amazing. When he deliberately tried to recall, all the places he had been to before appeared clearly in his mind. His eyes swept across and did not miss a single spot.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He used his movement skill and moved back and forth at lightning speed.
He remembered that there was a basement not far away. He didn't know what it used to be, but it was built very sturdily. Even if the seal on it had dissipated due to the passage of time, the material of the walls was indeed extraordinary.
Not long after, Chu Mu re-entered the basement.
The basement was empty, and the walls were emitting a faint blood-red luster.
Chu Mu drew his sword and slashed out. The Sword Light pierced through the air and slashed at the wall. The sword light shattered, but the wall remained intact.
"So sturdy!" Chu Mu was shocked.
He did not use his full strength, but the power was not weak. It could kill an ordinary high-level Nirvana Realm expert in a second, but it did not leave any mark on the wall.
"This is the place." Chu Mu said to himself.
Time did not allow for it. Now, Chu Mu was forcefully suppressing it. However, the more he suppressed it, the more obvious the rebound was. Moreover, this basement seemed to be very sturdy.
"But before that, I need to make more preparations."
Chu Mu said to himself. Then, he moved quickly.
He sealed the basement door and started to set up seals.
Chu Mu did not have much time to practice the Dao of Seals. However, due to the continuous improvement of his realm and experience, he had made significant progress in the Dao of Seals.
Now, he was going all out to set up seals. The basement's walls, ceiling, floor, stone door, and so on were all covered.
His Sword Energy was boiling, his physique was surging, and his Spiritual Sense was getting more and more violent. It was getting harder and harder to suppress.
Set up, set up, set up, set up layers upon layers of seals. Chu Mu consumed his own strength to weaken the violent power.
In the end, ninety-nine layers of seals were set up by Chu Mu. This was the first time he had set up so many seals. It was very complicated, but under great pressure, he still managed to complete it. It could be considered a small milestone in the Dao of Seals.
The entire basement, except for a small area in the center, was densely covered with seals.
There were seals that isolated aura, defensive seals, defensive seals, defensive seals, offensive seals, and so on. All the seals that Chu Mu knew were set up in an orderly manner.
At this moment, Chu Mu felt a vast aura coming from afar.
"It seems like the Nirvana Tribulation, but it is stronger than the Nirvana Tribulation. Could it be the Aeon Tribulation?" Chu Mu carefully sensed the fluctuations of the aura. It was continuous and powerful, and had a familiar yet strange feeling.
The so-called Aeon Tribulation referred to the tribulation from the Nirvana Realm to the Eternal Realm.
The Aeon Tribulation was divided into Saint and Mortal. As the name implied, the Aeon Tribulation was the difference between Mortal and Saint.
The Nirvana Realm was naturally not considered a mortal, but to the Eternal Realm, it was still in the category of mortals. This was because the essence of life in the Eternal Realm had undergone a qualitative change. It was a kind of leap, a kind of sublimation.
"Someone is going through the Aeon Tribulation. That's good." Chu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that his Nirvana Tribulation was very powerful and accompanied by many strange phenomena. Therefore, he had been worried that it would attract many tormented souls and experts.
Now that someone was going through the Aeon Tribulation, which was divided into Saint and Mortal Tribulations, there might not be any strange phenomena, but at least it would attract the attention of many people and share some of the pressure.
Then, Chu Mu felt another aura coming from another direction. It seemed to be weaker, but the fluctuations of the aura were almost the same. This meant that there was also someone who was going through the Aeon Tribulation in the other direction.
There was one more person to share the pressure.
Chu Mu could not wait for more people to break through at this time. This way, the danger that he might have to bear would continue to decrease.
There seemed to be someone who had the same idea as Chu Mu. With the appearance of the two people going through the Aeon Tribulation, there were more people going through the Aeon Tribulation. Aeon Tribulation, Nirvana Tribulation.
Above the Ancient Sacred City, the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth constantly gathered.
This city had existed since ancient times. It wandered in the Void, absorbing higher level energy and transforming it into rich and pure Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth.
In the Ancient Sacred City, even if one did not obtain any treasures, the effect of cultivation was many times better than the cultivation sacred grounds outside. Even the cultivation sacred grounds of the four Heavenly Gates could not compare.
Whistling sounds were incessant. The Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth flowed and condensed at high speed, forming white cyclones that were mixed with traces of Blood Evil Qi.
The Blood Evil Qi caused the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth to become impure. Absorbing it into the body would bring about negative effects, but if one could successfully pass through it, the benefits would be more obvious than the outside world.
But if one could not pass through it, one would die a terrible death.
This was a gamble, using oneself as the stake.
"Let me start too." Chu Mu thought to himself. He sat down cross-legged in the center of the basement. The three types of energy in his body were still restless, but because of the consumption of energy from setting up the seal, the restlessness was not that obvious. What Chu Mu wanted was to regulate his breathing and recover the energy that he had consumed.
While he was regulating his breathing and recovering his energy, a few more people went through the Nirvana Tribulation.
The Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth fluctuated violently, and the Blood Evil Qi condensed and converged. The hidden tormented souls were all attracted and let out sharp howls.
One day later, Chu Mu's Essence, Qi, and Spirit were all fully recovered and adjusted to the peak.
The breakthrough had begun.
The peak of the Eighth Sky of Nirvana Realm broke through to the Ninth Sky of Nirvana Realm. This was the ninth Nirvana, the last Nirvana of the soul, and also the most dangerous Nirvana, especially in the Ancient Sacred City. However, the situation was already out of Chu Mu's control.
He took a risk. Fortunately, before this, many people had also broken through and dispersed the pressure.
A large amount of Nirvana Qi that was already prepared appeared and revolved around Chu Mu's body. It began to cut his body.
His physique was incomparably strong, and the cutting effect of the Nirvana Qi was not that obvious. Every cut brought intense pain to Chu Mu, and he had to endure it with a clear mind.
How did it feel to be cut into pieces?
The pain that Chu Mu was enduring right now was definitely many times worse than being cut into pieces.
He had to endure it. At the same time, Chu Mu also felt his body shattering, as if he was wandering between heaven and hell. This was a process, a process of destruction and then establishment.
The Nirvana of destruction and establishment was also a process of understanding one's own body. It was a process of familiarizing oneself with one's own strength and further mastering one's own strength.
