A sky blue oval-shaped flying ship flew across the sky and left quickly.
Chu Mu, Gu Luankong, Yang Zhantian and Lian Hongyun were in the flying ship. The flying ship was heading towards the Canglan Empire.
Chu Mu didn't return to the Genius Small World because there was no need to. He was in a hurry to return to the True Sword Sect. He planned to settle the Profound Sun World in the True Sword Sect and make it the forbidden area of the True Sword Sect.
There was still some distance between the Ancient Heaven Domain and the Canglan Empire. This flying ship was Chu Mu's spoils of war. He got it from the interspatial ring of the Eight Star Saint expert.
As spoils of war, there was more than one flying ship. However, other than the Extreme Peak that the Heavenly Sword Saint Venerable lent to Chu Mu, this sky blue flying ship was the most outstanding.
It would take a long time to return to the True Sword Sect. Everyone stayed in the flying ship to cultivate.
The trip to the Ancient Sacred City was all about fighting and searching for opportunities. They didn't have time to digest what they had gained. Now that they were on the way back, they could cultivate quietly. They could digest what they had gained from the trip to the Ancient Sacred City and turn it into their own strength.
…
The descent and departure of the Ancient Sacred City had caused an obvious change in the hierarchy of the experts in the Deep Blue World.
Refining the treasures had greatly increased the strength of many Saints. At the same time, many people had gone into seclusion to refine the treasures and meditate. They had also absorbed the treasures they had obtained in the Ancient Sacred City. When they came out of seclusion, their strength would be further strengthened.
…
"The Canglan Empire is in front." Chu Mu said in the sky blue flying ship.
"I haven't been to the Canglan Empire yet." Lian Hongyun said.
When they entered the Deep Blue World, everyone was separated. Most of them died from the pursuit of the experts in the Deep Blue World. Only a small number of them managed to escape. The small number of people who managed to escape were hunted down for a period of time and many of them died.
For example, Chu Mu managed to escape from the pursuit of a Middle Level Saint expert. He entered the Five Spirits Secret Realm and stayed there for half a year. The pursuit had already ended.
Gu Luankong and the other two only managed to escape after exhausting all their means. Of course, this was also due to the protection of the Heavenly Green List.
After Chu Mu escaped, he entered the Five Spirits Secret Realm, which was located in the Canglan Empire. Gu Luankong and the others, on the other hand, found their fortuitous encounters in other regions. After that, they entered the Ancient Heaven Region and met up with Chu Mu in the Ancient Sacred City. Naturally, they didn't come to the Canglan Empire.
After this period of meditation, everyone had improved. This improvement was not directly reflected in their strength. After all, it was not that easy to improve one's strength. However, their potential had increased, and their future path had become clearer. This was very important.
From the looks of it, the four of them seemed to be slightly different from before. Their eyes were brighter and more spirited.
Not long after, the flying ship entered the territory of the Azure Water Empire, and headed in the direction of the True Sword Sect.
As they approached the True Sword Sect, the flying ship lowered its altitude slightly and looked down. At some unknown time, a town had risen up. Chu Mu remembered that before he left, this place was empty.
From the looks of it, this should be the result of the True Sword Sect's development.
As the saying goes, when a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs will follow. Although it wasn't that exaggerated, the True Sword Sect wasn't strong at first. However, because of Chu Mu, they gradually became stronger and developed. As they developed, they would naturally affect everything around them. It was very normal for them to lead other developments.
Not long after, the flying ship arrived at the True Sword Sect's mountain gate.
This was an unfamiliar flying ship. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Chu Mu landed the flying ship. The four of them walked out of the flying ship. After putting away the flying ship, they walked towards the True Sword Sect's mountain gate.
"Not bad. This mountain gate is very impressive." Lian Hongyun looked around and said as she walked.
There were four low-level Nirvana Realm disciples guarding the mountain gate.
Using low-level Nirvana Realm disciples to guard the mountain gate was a form of deterrence. Secondly, it would be easier to deal with unexpected situations. Thirdly, if someone attacked, the Nirvana Realm disciples could at least hold on for a while and inform the other disciples and higher-ups of the sect.
Of course, it would be more ideal to use Saint Realm experts to guard the mountain gate. However, Saint Realm experts were very important to any sect.
It had been two years since Chu Mu left the True Sword Sect. Two years was very short, but for the True Sword Sect, it was very good. It allowed the True Sword Sect to further consolidate its development.
In the past two years, he had basically spent all of it on consolidating the sect. Development was a must, but blind development was a taboo. This was also the strategy Chu Mu had set when he left.
Therefore, in these two years, the sect didn't recruit any more disciples. Of course, there were some new disciples who came because of the sect's reputation. They joined the True Sword Sect by challenging the sect.
The four disciples guarding the mountain gate were recruited two years ago when the mountain gate opened, so they recognized Chu Mu. When they saw Chu Mu, the four of them stared blankly, not daring to believe their eyes.
When Chu Mu walked closer, the four of them finally reacted and hurriedly bowed respectfully in a sword salute.
"Disciple … greets Sect Master."
The four of them moved in unison.
"Not bad. After two years of cultivation, your cultivations have all improved. Keep it up." Chu Mu looked at the four of them and nodded slightly with a smile. He gave them encouragement.
The four of them were instantly excited. They admired Chu Mu a lot.
Two years ago, they came because of his reputation. It was an unprecedented feat for a Nirvana Realm expert to kill a Saint Realm expert. He immediately became their idol. In these two years of cultivation in the True Sword Sect, they personally practiced the sword techniques that Chu Mu created and so on. The admiration in their hearts skyrocketed.
"Guard the mountain gate well." Chu Mu said again.
"Yes." The four of them immediately stood up straight. Their auras shot up into the sky as they replied in unison. That aura caused Gu Luankong and the other two to be taken aback. Soon after, they laughed. They were filled with admiration in their hearts. They didn't expect that their sect leader would be so well-loved.
He led Gu Luankong and the other two into the mountain gate. The four of them looked like they were taking a stroll in the park. However, their speed wasn't slow at all. Often, before people could react, they had already left behind a shadow.
"That person looks familiar."
"There are four of them. Who are you talking about?"
"The one in the front. The one in the starry robe."
He frowned and looked like he was thinking hard. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and his eyes widened. His face was filled with surprise and excitement. He said loudly, "I remember now. It's the Sect Master. He's the Sect Master. The Sect Master is back."
When his voice spread out, it immediately caused a commotion.
"The Sect Master is back?"
"Where is he?"
The disciples of the True Sword Sect looked around. The words "the Sect Master is back" caused a huge commotion.
Chu Mu had already brought Gu Luankong and the other two to the main hall of the Sect Master's Peak.
…
As the Sect Master of the True Sword Sect, Chu Mu had returned. All the elders who were in the True Sword Sect and weren't in seclusion all rushed over to greet him.
"Sect Master, your cultivation?" When the First Elder saw Chu Mu, he immediately realized that Chu Mu's aura was different from before. He was shocked.
"I gained something in the Ancient Sacred City. My cultivation broke through to the Ancient Realm." Chu Mu smiled and replied.
"Congratulations, Grandmaster!" All the elders revealed looks of joy as they smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
When Chu Mu was in the Nirvana Realm, he already had shocking strength. When he was at the Seventh Sky of the Nirvana Realm, he could kill a Two Star Martial Saint. Now that he was at the First Sky of the Ancient Realm, his strength had increased by thousands of times.
"Given Sect Master's strength, you should be able to defeat a Third Sky of the Ancient Realm." The Third Elder said.
"No, I think Sect Master's strength can defeat a Fourth Sky of the Ancient Realm." The Second Elder said.
Chu Mu didn't say how strong he was now. He left it to the others to guess.
"What happened in the sect in the two years that I was gone?" Chu Mu asked.
When the Ancient Sacred City descended, no one else except for Chu Mu had entered it. It was a place to harvest opportunities, but at the same time, it was a meat grinder. It was extremely dangerous.
Hearing Chu Mu's words, an elder immediately reported the development of the True Sword Sect in the past two years.
As expected, the True Sword Sect had developed too quickly two years ago. They focused on digesting and consolidating their strength in the past two years. Even so, the overall strength of the sect had increased significantly.
After two years of consolidation, every disciple's cultivation had increased significantly. Some of the geniuses had even more obvious improvements. Moreover, the True Sword Sect was a sword cultivation sect. Chu Mu's self-created sword techniques and some of the sword techniques he brought back from the Forest of Thousand Sword Steles were incomparably mysterious and unpredictable. After cultivating them, they would become even stronger.
It could be said that the overall strength of the True Sword Sect was more than 30% stronger than two years ago.
Don't underestimate this 30% increase. It was enough to raise the overall strength of the True Sword Sect to a whole new level.
After understanding the development of the True Sword Sect in the past two years, Chu Mu also asked about the ten esoteric disciples. Li Donglai, who he introduced, was one of the ten esoteric disciples.
"Is there any other news?" Chu Mu asked.
As the master of a sect, he had to consider more and understand more.
"Something happened not long ago," the third elder said. "On the way back to the Blue Sea, the Sea Race was intercepted by the Human Race. After a huge battle, both sides suffered losses …"
When Chu Mu heard this, he immediately laughed. He immediately understood what was going on.
That group of Sea Race was definitely returning to the Blue Sea after leaving the Ancient Sacred City. It wasn't strange for them to be intercepted. After all, they must have gained a lot in the Ancient Sacred City.
According to the third elder, the Sea Race lost almost half of their forces. They had to use many trump cards to escape. Although the Human Race also suffered a lot of losses, the continent was still the Human Race's world. A well-prepared interception would result in more losses than gains.
"This time, the Sea Race is going to cry." Chu Mu smiled. The losses in the Ancient Sacred City, the losses from being intercepted, and the deaths of many Sea Race experts were huge. "The Emperor Shark Clan's Emperor Shark Jade escaped, right?"
"Yes," the third elder said.
"It's lucky that he didn't die, but …" Chu Mu smiled. A trace of killing intent flashed across his eyes.
