"Hahahaha, what a great place. Here, I, Huo Xuehai, can definitely raise my strength to a level that will terrify everyone." Amidst the ruins, a man spread out his arms. A terrifying aura surged out from his body, like a blood pillar that reached the heavens.
The aura was blood-red, which was similar to the evil spirit's evil spirit. It was extremely terrifying.
For ordinary cultivators, the Blood Qi in the Ancient Sacred City was very troublesome. They had to be on guard against it. Otherwise, if they were careless and were attacked, the consequences would be terrible. They might be killed by the tormented souls because of their slow reaction, or they might lose their mind and fall into an illusion.
But for cultivators who practiced the Evil Blood Skill, it was a paradise. It was the best place to cultivate, a sacred place.
Huo Xuehai's evil spirit soared to the sky and attracted a few Great Evil Spirits. Huo Xuehai was not afraid, but laughed wildly. He reached out his hands and grabbed two Great Evil Spirits. A vortex seemed to have appeared in his palms. Under a terrifying suction force, the evil spirit of the two Great Evil Spirits was absorbed, causing the Great Evil Spirits to struggle and wail.
This scene was very similar to the evil spirits absorbing the vitality of living creatures.
…
"Young man, hand over the Space Ring and we will spare your life." The horse-faced cultivator said to Chu Mu with a cold smile. A powerful aura locked onto Chu Mu.
The other person was silent, but he stared at Chu Mu with sharp eyes. He stood on the other side to prevent Chu Mu from escaping.
These two people were both saint rank experts, low stage saint rank experts. Did they have enmity with Chu Mu?
No, they just saw Chu Mu killing dozens of small evil spirits from afar and wanted to take Chu Mu's spoils of war. They felt that their low-level Martial Saints were enough to deter a Nirvana Realm martial artist.
"If I give you the spatial ring, will you kill me to silence me?" Chu Mu faintly smiled and said.
"You are quite smart. Since you are so smart, we will give you a quick death." The horse-faced Martial Saint was surprised at first, but then he smiled and said.
"How about this? Give me your spatial rings and I won't kill you," Chu Mu said.
To be honest, it was hard to believe that these two low-level Saints had seen Chu Mu as an idiot and then died.
There was not a single drop of blood on the Heaven Slash Sword. Two corpses lay at Chu Mu's feet.
Both of them were Two Star Saints. Even if Chu Mu hadn't broken through, he would've been able to kill them. Now that he had broken through, he could've killed them in a single strike.
He took off the Spatial Ring and quickly checked through it. Apart from Essence Pills and elixirs, there were dozens of Small Tormented Spirit Crystals and five Large Tormented Spirit Crystals. However, there were more than ten ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Herbs and three blood-red ores that were extremely hard.
In the Ancient Sacred City, it was normal for people who didn't know each other to be tempted by wealth. Of course, they had to have the ability to do so. Otherwise, they would've become corpses, just like now.
After getting the spoils, Chu Mu continued to move forward. As soon as he left, a Small Tormented Spirit drilled out from the ground and appeared beside the two corpses. It wrapped the corpses up. The two corpses withered at a speed visible to the naked eye and eventually became two grayish-white mummies.
Although they were dead, there was still a part of their vitality that hadn't completely dissipated. After the Small Tormented Spirit absorbed it, its Evil Qi became much stronger.
…
After looking around, Chu Mu nodded and decided to transform the Imperishable Sword into a Spiritual Sword here.
This wasn't a basement, but the interior of a palace.
The palace wasn't small. Parts of the walls had collapsed, but the depths were intact.
Chu Mu began to set up seals.
As soon as he started, he realized that it was easier, more accurate, and faster to set up seals after condensing his Primordial Spirit.
His ten fingers shone brightly, and with a flick of his fingers, seals fell one after another.
The ground, the walls, and the roof were all set up without any blind spots, layer after layer.
With his Primordial Spirit, Chu Mu's perception was stronger, and his control was more precise. The same seal consumed more than 30% of his strength, and the power of the seal increased by more than 30%.
One layer, two layers, three layers …
Soon, ninety-nine layers of seals were set up. Chu Mu found that the hundredth layer was very difficult, and it might cause the previous ninety-nine layers to collapse, so he had to stop.
This time, the structure of the seal was more reasonable and perfect than last time. In terms of power, it was also much stronger.
"It's enough to resist a Three-star Saint for a while," Chu Mu said to himself.
This was the limit of his current attainments in seals. Middle-level Saints were two levels higher than low-level Saints.
His aura was isolated, and so was his vitality. The Tormented Spirits couldn't sense it, and even if they did, it would be a weak vitality that couldn't attract them.
Chu Mu sat in the center of the ninety-nine layers of seals.
"If the Imperishable Sword becomes a Spiritual Sword, my strength can be improved again."
"But before that, I need to transform the Sword Soul into a Sword Soul."
A Sword Cultivator had to first comprehend the Sword Essence, and then condense the Sword Soul to carry the Sword Essence. This way, the Sword Essence would no longer be a rootless duckweed. It would become more solid, and its power would naturally increase.
The Sword Soul was the sublimation of the Sword Soul.
The Sword Soul was above the Sword Soul, and only Sword Cultivators of the Eternal Realm could condense it. This was because to condense the Sword Soul, one needed to master the power of the Divine Spirit, which was to condense the Primordial Spirit.
Although Chu Mu hadn't reached the Eternal Realm, he had already condensed the Primordial Spirit, and had the power of the Divine Spirit. He could transform the Sword Soul into a Sword Soul.
With a thought, the power of the Divine Spirit emerged from the Primordial Spirit, and filled the Spiritual World. When it was ready, it rushed to the Eternal Sword Soul, and washed it over and over again.
Sufficient power of the Divine Spirit was the guarantee to condense the Sword Soul faster. Chu Mu's Divine Spirit was originally far superior to other Cultivators of the same level.
When he was at the Eighth Sky of Nirvana Realm, his Divine Spirit was comparable to an ordinary Two-Star Saint. Now, it was comparable to an ordinary Three-Star Saint. In other words, although Chu Mu's Primordial Spirit had just been condensed, the power of the Divine Spirit was comparable to a Three-Star Saint.
The Eternal Sword Soul was washed over and over again, and it began to change little by little.
This was a slow process, but Chu Mu's Divine Spirit was strong, and the power of the Divine Spirit was boundless, so the efficiency was higher.
Wash, wash, wash. In the continuous washing, the Eternal Sword Soul was changing little by little, and it was turning into a Sword Soul.
The outermost seal was a seal that isolated the aura. Even if someone with sharp senses passed by, they wouldn't pay attention to it, because the aura was very weak and inconspicuous.
But if someone walked in, they would see this scene.
Outside the Ancient Sacred City, there were still people rushing over. They entered the Ancient Sacred City through the blood-red chains, but this was only a small number. Most of them were already in the Ancient Sacred City, and they were moving towards the center.
The Ancient Sacred City was huge. Until now, seven to eight days had passed, but no one had reached the center.
After countless years, many treasures in the Ancient Sacred City had lost their Spiritual Qi and power due to the corrosion of the Evil Blood Qi. They had become rotten, and they were no longer useful.
There was nothing they could do about it. After all, even Eternal Ancient Experts couldn't be truly immortal, they could only live for a longer period of time. The Ancient Sacred City had existed for tens of thousands of years, at least a million years. The things that had been preserved for such a long time were absolutely extraordinary. Any one of them would cause a great battle to break out between the cultivators of the Ancient Sacred City and the Ancient Sacred City.
…
"Chu Mu should have entered the Ancient Sacred City, right?" Lian Hongyun said.
Ever since he met Gu Luankong and Yang Zhantian, they had been moving together. After all, this was the Deep Blue World, and not the Ancient God World. Although they were talented, they weren't strong enough. It was more convenient for them to work together.
Previously, they had gone to the Genius Small World to look for Chu Mu. However, due to some reasons, they were delayed. After knowing that the Ancient Sacred City was about to descend, they temporarily canceled their mission and focused on preparing.
"If the person in the Genius Small World is Chu Mu, he will definitely enter the Ancient Sacred City," Yang Zhantian said. "We should work hard and increase our strength. It's best if we can be stronger than him when we meet him."
Yang Zhantian was very competitive. When he lost to Chu Mu in the past, he accepted it wholeheartedly. However, he didn't give up on chasing after Chu Mu's footsteps. After coming to the Deep Blue World, he had a fortuitous encounter. Now, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Ninth Sky of Nirvana Realm. He was further strengthening his foundation and preparing for the Immortal Realm.
Even so, he still didn't have much confidence in killing a One Star Martial Saint expert.
"Chu Mu is too monstrous. It won't be easy to surpass him," Ancient Chaos said. Even though he was more talented than Yang Zhantian and Lian Hongyun, he still didn't have the confidence to defeat Chu Mu. However, he wouldn't give up just like that.
…
"I've already reached the Immortal Realm. Killing a Two Star Martial Saint is as easy as slaughtering a pig. Chu Mu, you better pray you don't meet me here. Otherwise, I'll slowly torture you to death with my sword." Ao Zhenheng's face was ferocious after killing a Two Star Martial Saint.
…
One day, two days, three days …
Five days had passed since Chu Mu began refining the Sword Soul. Under the constant cleansing of his Spiritual Energy, the majority of the Sword Soul had been converted into Sword Soul Energy.
The sixth day … the seventh day …
Suddenly, Chu Mu felt the Eternal Sword Soul tremble as if it was penetrated by a force. A luster flashed across the surface of the Eternal Sword Soul. It was sharp, sharp, and simple.
This was … the Sword Soul.
Eternal Sword Soul. Under Chu Mu's continuous efforts, after seven days, it finally evolved from Sword Soul to Sword Soul.
His Spiritual Energy didn't stop cleansing the Sword Soul. At this time, the Sword Soul was only at the initial stage and needed to be further consolidated.
The Sword Soul was more stable than the Sword Soul. The power it contained was also more vigorous, majestic, and profound. The transformation of the Sword Soul into a Sword Soul also led to a qualitative improvement in the Sword Soul.
The Eternal Sword Soul of the Nirvana Realm began to climb to the Eternal Sword Soul of the Immortal Realm.
It only took one day for Chu Mu to raise the level of the Eternal Sword Soul from the Nirvana Realm to the Immortal Realm.
