In the spiritual world, the primordial spirit sat in the center. At the outermost periphery, there was a red ring with the primordial spirit as the center. Inside the red ring, there was an orange ring that surrounded the primordial spirit. Inside the orange ring, there was a yellow ring that surrounded the primordial spirit.
Chu Mu had already mastered the first to third rings of the Rainbow Ring. The third ring had a strong defensive power. Coupled with Chu Mu's extraordinary primordial spirit and the enhancement of the Black Gold Mask, he could even withstand a level three primordial spirit attack mystic technique cast by a level four primordial spirit.
The cultivation of the Yellow Ring was even more time-consuming than the Red Ring and Orange Ring. It took Chu Mu a full three days to complete.
The fourth ring was a green ring, suitable for a level four primordial spirit to cultivate. Chu Mu tried it and realized that condensing a green ring talisman consumed more than half of his primordial spirit's power. Even after exhausting all of his primordial spirit's power, he could barely condense two green ring talismans.
As for the cultivation of each ring of the Rainbow Ring, it had to be done in one go. If there was a break in the middle, the condensed primordial spirit talisman would automatically dissipate, which was equivalent to a waste of effort. Under such circumstances, Chu Mu could only give up on cultivating the green ring. He could only wait until his primordial spirit broke through the second level to the third level before trying again.
The Boundary Monument Hall was the center of the entire Profound Yang Sword Realm. Its pure Yang energy was incomparably dense and pure, surpassing any other hall in the Profound Yang Sword Palace. Even if Chu Mu did not cultivate a cultivation technique, he would still be passively nourished and tempered. If he took the initiative to absorb it for cultivation, the efficiency would increase by more than a hundred times.
Everyone was cultivating diligently.
Inside the Boundary Monument Hall, Chu Mu held two swords in his hands. One was the Eternal Spirit Sword and the other was the Heavenly Holy Sword.
As he waved his arms, the two swords seemed to be an extension of his arms, connected by blood. As he waved his arms, countless arms and swords seemed to appear around Chu Mu's body. He was like an immovable Wisdom King.
Immediately after, all the arms and swords disappeared, turning into threads of Sword Light that fell from the sky like a glowing weeping willow. As the threads of Sword Light flowed, they were like a water curtain.
This move was the other defensive sword move, Thousand Threads Willow Sword Move.
After a period of cultivation, Chu Mu had already mastered the two defensive sword moves. He was very proficient in them. The only thing he lacked was to comprehend the essence of them.
These two defensive sword moves had one advantage, and that was that they could be used with a single sword, or they could be used with two swords. In the case of using two swords, it would be easier.
Chu Mu's perception was very high, but now he encountered a problem, a bottleneck.
Countless silk-like Sword Light disappeared. Chu Mu lowered his arms and started thinking.
"The best way to cultivate the defensive sword style should be in actual combat, defending against attacks …"
Thinking of this, Chu Mu immediately got to work. He took out the materials, and in the short span of a day, he created 18 One Star Saint level puppets and activated them.
The 18 One Star Saint level puppets were arranged into a level-one puppet array by Chu Mu, and Chu Mu was in the middle of the array.
Chu Mu controlled his strength to be at the beginning of the Three Star Saint level, and the 18 puppets in the level-one puppet array could all attack at the level of the Three Star Saint level.
The 18 One Star Saint level puppets and 18 swords continuously attacked Chu Mu. The power of each sword was at the level of the Three Star Saint level. Chu Mu did not dodge or counterattack, but directly used the Acalanatha Sword Move to block and defend.
The Acalanatha Sword Move and Thousand Threads Willow Sword Move were used alternately. When the Acalanatha Sword Move was used, it was as if it was rooted to the ground, standing firm, and blocking the attacks head-on. This sword move required the user to have a strong physique. Otherwise, it would be difficult to withstand the recoil.
The Acalanatha Sword Move naturally had its mysteries. It was different from an ordinary head-on collision. The moment the move was used, one's strength would be strengthened by ten times or more. Only then would one be able to withstand the enemy's attack head-on.
The Thousand Threads Willow Sword Move was different. Its main defensive method was to weaken the attack.
Countless thread-like sword lights fell down. Every attack that entered Chu Mu's body became faint and weak before disappearing. They were unable to cause any damage to Chu Mu.
…
"Congratulations to the two of you. From now on, you are the new Elders of the True Sword Sect." Chu Mu said to the two standing in front of him.
"If it weren't for the Sect Master, we wouldn't be here today." Yun Feng and Yun He's faces were filled with excitement as they spoke to Chu Mu. From the looks of it, they seemed to be younger, and their auras were stronger. They were fundamentally different from before.
Yun Feng and Yun He had successfully passed the Aeon Tribulation in the Profound Yang Sword Palace and become Sage Realm experts of the Eternal Realm. From then on, their lives were different from before.
Although the two of them only had ordinary talent, and if they worked hard, the probability of passing the Aeon Tribulation was less than one percent. However, because of Chu Mu, their fates were changed. Breaking through to the Eternal Realm with cultivation at the peak of the Eighth Sky of Nirvana Realm was definitely better than breaking through to the peak of the Seventh Sky of Nirvana Realm.
Moreover, they had passed the Aeon Tribulation in the Profound Yang Sword Palace, and the energy they had absorbed when refining their bodies was Pure Yang Qi. It was condensed into Pure Yang Saint Bodies.
Unlike Gu Luankong and the others, Yun Feng and Yun He had obtained sufficient Pure Yang Qi. Therefore, their Pure Yang Saint Bodies were complete. Of course, they were only at the lowest level of Pure Yang Saint Bodies, but they were much stronger than ordinary Saint Bodies. They could even use Pure Yang Qi to fight.
After being refined by Pure Yang Qi, their Primordial Spirits had reached the Intermediate Level One Primordial Spirits, which was better than most people's Beginner Level One Primordial Spirits. Their comprehension had increased, and they had mastered the essence of sword skills. They had also grasped the First Level Sword Force and became a true Sword Saint.
Although Chu Mu was in seclusion, it wasn't to the point of death. He would come out every once in a while.
After breaking through, Yun Feng and Yun He took charge of the Wind Trust Hall and Punishment Hall again. The Wind Trust Hall was in charge of collecting information. Chu Mu had instructed them to collect the Deep Blue Sacred Pearls, but they hadn't found anything.
After being happy for a while, they got down to business.
"Sect Leader, a new sect has appeared recently. It is called the Battle King Sect. Its origin is mysterious, but it is developing rapidly. It specializes in targeting third-rate and quasi second-rate forces." Yun Feng reported, "Until now, within the Canglan Dynasty, thirty third-rate forces and ten quasi second-rate forces have been subdued. Among them, seven third-rate forces and three quasi second-rate forces were not willing to submit. They were all destroyed."
"Battle King Sect …" Chu Mu was slightly shocked.
Thirty third-rate forces had been subdued, ten quasi second-rate forces had been subdued, seven third-rate forces and three quasi second-rate forces had been completely annihilated. The True Sword Sect's current strength was only equivalent to a quasi second-rate force.
"It has been less than a month since the Battle King Sect appeared. They are very arrogant and overbearing. They either submit or destroy the sect." Yun Feng said, "Moreover, they only target third-rate and quasi second-rate forces. They won't provoke second-rate, quasi, or first-rate forces. According to the information we've obtained, when the Warlord Sect sets their sights on a force, they'll send a Warlord's Invitation, and the time of the visit will be written on it."
"They only target third-rate and quasi second-rate forces …" Chu Mu nodded, "In other words, it is very likely that our True Sword Sect will receive a Battle King Invitation as well."
"Yes," said Yun Feng.
"Alright. If they send a Battle King Invitation over, let me know," said Chu Mu, giving Yun Feng a way to contact him.
Chu Mu took the matter of the Battle King Sect to heart slightly. However, he did not pay too much attention to it because he still had other things to do.
Every day, there would be disciples going to the Puppet Cave, but even after a few months, no one had been able to break through the Puppet Cave. The puppets in the Puppet Cave had very strong bodies, and they had great strength and speed. They also had exquisite swordsmanship and knew how to coordinate with each other.
Although no one had been able to pass through the Puppet Cave, all the disciples who did felt their combat strength increase. Their battle experience increased, and their grasp of sword skills deepened.
The True Sword Sect was growing at a slow but steady pace.
Once someone reached the seventh Firmament of the Aeon Realm, the True Sword Sect would immediately become a second-rate force. Currently, the True Sword Sect did not have a seventh Firmament expert, but it was not inferior to ordinary second-rate forces in any other aspect.
As for Xia Zhenkong, although he was a Seven Star Sword Saint, he was only a guest elder of the True Sword Sect. He could not be considered a member of the True Sword Sect.
Chu Mu entered the Boundary Stele Hall again to cultivate.
Under the level-one Puppet Formation, the eighteen One Star Saint puppets each had the power of a Three Star Saint. They kept attacking from all directions. Chu Mu held his sword with one hand. When he swung it, it was as if there were arms all over his body. Countless sharp swords blocked all the attacks coming from all directions.
When they collided head-on, huge shockwaves rippled out endlessly. If it was a normal block, Chu Mu would not be able to withstand it. However, with the Motionless Wisdom King Sword Style, he could immediately dissolve the shockwaves after each block. It would not affect the next block at all.
Chu Mu seemed to be one with the Boundary Stele Hall. He did not move at all.
Soon after, the sword technique changed and became the Thousand Silk Weeping Willow Sword Style. Countless silk-like sword lights fell down and Chu Mu, who was within them, swayed like a willow in the wind. He had already grasped the essence of the Thousand Silk Weeping Willow Sword Style.
Using two swords to perform the Motionless Wisdom King Sword Style and the Thousand Willow Sword Style was easier than using one sword. It also consumed less energy. However, using two swords was an extension of Chu Mu's strength. One sword was the foundation.
Day after day of cultivation, Chu Mu came out of seclusion not long after. There was an unexpected surprise. One of the top ten secret disciples, the prince of the Canglan Empire, gave Chu Mu dozens of Illusory Crystals. However, Chu Mu did not take them for free. Instead, he exchanged them with the same number of Pure Yang Crystals.
After receiving the Illusory Crystals, Chu Mu embedded the eighteen Illusory Crystals in Chu Cangfeng's body. Chu Cangfeng's intelligence had already reached the level of Dacheng. With the support of suitable energy, he began to quickly derive a suitable cultivation method for him.
