Battles and killings continued to take place in the Ancient Sacred City.
Tormented spirits appeared and were either killed for their crystals or absorbed their vitality to strengthen themselves.
Spiritual herbs and treasures were the main topics of the competition.
The deeper one went into the Ancient Sacred City, the higher the chances of encountering opportunities and treasures. At the same time, one would encounter stronger opponents. There were no small tormented spirits in sight. The weakest one was a big tormented spirit. Chu Mu even encountered a Tormented Spirit General.
Fortunately, the Tormented Spirit General was fighting with a Five Star Martial Saint so Chu Mu was not pursued. Otherwise, it would have been very dangerous.
The deeper he went into the Ancient Sacred City, the more Chu Mu realized that he was not strong enough.
In the early stage of the Ninth Sky of Nirvana Realm, although his real battle strength was comparable to that of a Three-Star Martial Saint, and he would be even more powerful if he used his secret method, it was still not enough. If he encountered the Five-Star Martial Saint Martial Saint Martial Saint, he would have to use the trump card given by the Elders of the Real Sword Sect.
Unfortunately, it could only be used once.
Strength. Chu Mu needed more strength to go deeper into the Ancient Sacred City. He needed to fight for treasures with other experts and survive the pursuit of tormented spirits.
His next goal was to reach the Eternal Realm.
Now that he was at the early stage of the Ninth Sky of Nirvana Realm, Chu Mu could break through to the Eternal Realm if he wanted to. However, he would not destroy his future because he could reach the peak of the Ninth Sky of Nirvana Realm and consolidate his foundation before breaking through to the Eternal Realm.
"I need to find a safe place and use the Spiritual Pool to refine treasures and increase my cultivation," Chu Mu thought to himself.
His current strength was an obstacle. Increasing his cultivation was a way to increase his strength. Without the Spiritual Pool, it would take a long time to reach the peak of the Ninth Sky of Nirvana Realm even though the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the Ancient Sacred City was extremely rich. However, with the Spiritual Pool and many treasures, things were different.
The Spiritual Pool was the main reason why Chu Mu could increase his cultivation in such a short time. Without the Spiritual Pool, it was unknown if he could reach the Seventh Sky of Nirvana Realm.
If Chu Mu's current cultivation was not at the Seventh Sky of Nirvana Realm, then he would most likely still be in the Canglan Dynasty. Even if he came to the Ancient Ancient Domain, he would not be qualified to enter the Ancient Sacred City.
At that time, when he was at the Seventh Sky of Nirvana Realm, he had not mastered many abilities. No matter how powerful his talent was, he could not fight against a Martial Saint. Even the lowest Martial Saint, who was at the beginning of the First Star Martial Saint, could not do it.
The improvement of his cultivation, the strengthening of his various aspects, and the mastery of various abilities were the foundation of his true strength.
There was a saying in the world of cultivation since ancient times: cultivation is the foundation of everything.
In some people's minds, the higher the cultivation, the better. However, this was only a superficial understanding.
Cultivation was the foundation of everything, and it referred to opportunities. One needed to have sufficient cultivation to support it. Otherwise, if an opportunity was right in front of one's eyes and one was within reach, but one couldn't activate it because one's cultivation was insufficient, it was equivalent to not obtaining it at all. Or, if one's cultivation was insufficient, it was clearly right in front of one's eyes, but one couldn't break through its defenses to obtain it.
Those who did not have the corresponding experience would not be able to understand the true meaning of the phrase 'cultivation is the foundation of everything'.
For example, Chu Mu had experienced a lot, so he understood it better.
When encountering an opportunity, one's cultivation was insufficient, one couldn't activate it, or couldn't obtain it. Or, when one was clearly about to obtain it, it would be snatched away by someone with a higher cultivation. Even if one had already obtained the opportunity, one would still be killed because one's cultivation was insufficient.
For example, a spiritual sword in the hands of a Nirvana Realm cultivator was a sin. However, in the hands of a Sword Saint, it could be of help. Of course, Chu Mu was an exception.
In short, after thinking about it for a while, Chu Mu increasingly understood the importance of cultivation.
Only when one's cultivation was sufficient could one compete for more opportunities, obtain more opportunities, and be able to support greater strength.
After spending five days, Chu Mu finally found a relatively safe place.
This was a tower. Previously, there was a protective layer around it, but the treasure had been taken away. Chu Mu saw clearly that the person who took the treasure was a Six Star Martial Saint expert. Naturally, the person who was competing with him was also a mid-level Martial Saint expert. Chu Mu had no room to interfere.
The tower didn't suffer much damage because the Six Star Martial Saint who took the treasure wasn't an ordinary Six Star Martial Saint. He suppressed everyone with his own strength and took the treasure away calmly.
After losing the treasure, no one paid attention to the tower anymore. The tower itself was made of good materials. It was very sturdy and covered all four sides. It was almost impossible to see inside unless one entered.
There was no such thing as absolute safety in the Ancient Sacred City. It was only relative.
He calmly set up layers of seals. The outermost layer was naturally a seal to isolate aura. Then, there were defensive seals, defensive seals, offensive seals, and so on.
Chu Mu was at the center of the seal. He took out a spiritual pool and a large number of treasures. He threw them into the spiritual pool and converted them into pure spiritual energy.
A person's cultivation talent was very important. It was related to the limit of one's cultivation.
For example, a Third Grade Cultivation Talent could definitely reach the Nirvana Realm. However, it was almost impossible to reach the Eternal Realm.
Previously, Chu Mu's cultivation talent was at the Third Grade Cultivation Talent. Now, after going through Nirvana again and again, his cultivation talent had improved and was infinitely close to the Second Grade Cultivation Talent.
Chu Mu had a feeling that as long as his cultivation reached the peak of the Ninth Sky of Nirvana Realm and triggered the Eternal Tribulation, his cultivation talent would improve again. He would break through the Third Grade Cultivation Talent and reach the Second Grade Cultivation Talent. At that time, he would be able to reach the Eternal Realm and become a Martial Saint expert.
Not every cultivator had the same ability as Chu Mu. Every time he went through Nirvana, there would be a strange phenomenon. Under the continuous strange phenomenon, it would drive his cultivation talent.
Therefore, every time other Nirvana Realm cultivators went through Nirvana, their cultivation talent would only improve slightly.
Not long after, the many treasures in the Spiritual Pool were converted into pure Spiritual Energy.
Chu Mu jumped into the Spiritual Pool. The clothes on his body disappeared and his skin came into contact with the Spiritual Energy. The pure Spiritual Energy immediately seeped into Chu Mu's skin.
The Divine Wilderness Sword Art revolved and a suction force appeared. It directly absorbed a large amount of Spiritual Energy into his body. In his meridians, it was like the water of a great river. It surged endlessly and merged into the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence. It was quickly absorbed and assimilated by the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence. It increased the quantity of the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence and purified its quality.
The improvement of one's cultivation was not only an increase in quantity, but also in quality.
At this time, sitting in the Spiritual Pool, surrounded by pure Spiritual Energy, it was as if he was in the middle of clouds and mist. It was like a fairyland.
Chu Mu's Divine Wilderness Sword Essence was increasing and purifying at a speed that he could clearly feel. This cultivation speed was many times faster than when he absorbed Heaven Earth Yuan Qi from the outside world. It was far from being comparable.
While the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence was increasing, a surge of energy flowed through his body. His organs, bones, meridians and muscles were all impacted by the pure energy. Every impact would strengthen his organs, bones, meridians and muscles. His physique was also strengthened.
His strength, defense, speed and other aspects were also increasing.
Chu Mu cultivated both Qi and Body Refinement. Spiritual Energy was a special kind of energy. It was different from Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. This kind of energy was extremely rare and would only appear in special environments. It could be used to quickly refine and increase one's Qi and Body Refinement cultivation without any side effects.
Until now, other than the Spiritual Pool, Chu Mu had never seen any other kind of Spiritual Energy.
Speaking of which, the Spiritual Pool was really a treasure. It was extremely important for a Nirvana Realm cultivator.
If the passersby didn't intentionally get close to observe, they wouldn't be able to discover Chu Mu in the tower. Thus, Chu Mu could be at ease and wholeheartedly absorb the spirit energy in the spirit pool to refine and raise his own cultivation.
Half a day later, Chu Mu's cultivation had increased from the early Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm to the middle Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm.
This kind of speed was really shocking. One had to know that Chu Mu was not the kind of person who had been in the early Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm for a long time. He had just broken through to the early Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm.
In just half a day, he had broken through from the early Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm to the middle Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm. It was an incomparable speed and there were no side effects.
This time, Chu Mu had consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy in the Spiritual Pool.
The higher one's cultivation, the more Spiritual Energy one needed to refine for each small realm increase. In the past, the Spiritual Pool that was filled to the brim with Spiritual Energy was enough for Chu Mu to advance by one Heavenly Layer and two or three small realms. But now, the Spiritual Energy that filled the Spiritual Pool had consumed more than half of it.
The remaining Spiritual Energy was not enough for Chu Mu to break through to the late Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm. Chu Mu simply stopped cultivating and took out a large number of treasures and dropped them into the Spiritual Pool. The Spiritual Pool began to revolve and refined the treasures into new Spiritual Energy.
After a period of time, the Spiritual Pool was finally filled to the brim with Spiritual Energy again. Chu Mu began cultivating again with the majestic Spiritual Energy.
Another half a day later, more than seventy percent of the Spiritual Energy in the Spiritual Pool had been absorbed by Chu Mu. Chu Mu's cultivation had also successfully advanced from the middle Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm to the late Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm.
At this moment, a huge mysterious aura came from afar. When Chu Mu sensed it through the seal, it was already very weak, but Chu Mu still caught it.
"What kind of fluctuation is this?" Chu Mu was secretly puzzled.
This kind of fluctuation did not seem to be man-made because the aura was not the same. If it was not the aura of an expert, then it was the aura of a treasure, or an aura related to a treasure.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Mu decided to wait until his cultivation had advanced again and reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm before exploring. If it was some kind of treasure, it would most likely have been taken away. But if it was related to a treasure, perhaps there was still a chance to snatch it.
The stronger one was, the greater the chance of snatching it. The strength of the peak of the Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm was several times weaker than that of the early Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm.
With this thought, Chu Mu took out a large number of treasures and dropped them into the Spiritual Pool.
