Not long after, the disciple who went to report came back.
"Seniors, I'm truly sorry. The sect master is currently receiving an important guest, so it's not convenient for him to see you." The disciple cupped his hands and said respectfully. There was nothing wrong with his expression.
"Receiving an important guest …"
Being rejected, the Saints didn't get angry. The current True Sword Sect's strength was unfathomable. They didn't dare to make an enemy out of the True Sword Sect.
Nodding, they left, but the truth didn't go far.
"How is it?" The other Saints came over and asked.
"The sect master of the True Sword Sect is receiving an important guest." The Saints answered honestly.
"Receiving an important guest …"
Everyone fell silent.
It had been half a day since the third envoy of the Battle King Sect had entered the True Sword Sect, but he still hadn't left.
After all, they were sure that the Battle King Sect had come to take revenge on the True Sword Sect. But why hadn't there been any commotion yet?
The words "receiving an important guest" made everyone's imagination run wild.
"This important guest should be the third envoy of the Battle King Sect."
"Calling him an important guest … Could it be that the True Sword Sect is planning to submit to the Battle King Sect?"
Thus, countless guesses appeared. But in the end, they all thought that the True Sword Sect was planning to submit to the Battle King Sect.
If that wasn't the case, why would they call him an important guest?
They definitely didn't know that this was just a fabrication by the second elder. Because Chu Mu was in seclusion for the time being, he was in charge of the sect's affairs. In order to avoid the Battle King Sect's next round of revenge and not cause too much commotion, he came up with this excuse on the spur of the moment.
They would never have thought that this was a trap set up by the second elder on the spur of the moment.
…
"Hmph, no matter how stubborn they are, they still have to submit in the end." This was what a disciple who left the True Sword Sect said. It also represented the thoughts of many other disciples who left the True Sword Sect.
After all, they had left the True Sword Sect when it was in danger. If the True Sword Sect had been wiped out by the Battle King Sect, they wouldn't have felt any pressure. They would even feel that they were wise to avoid disaster.
However, not only had the True Sword Sect not been destroyed, they had instead annihilated more than a hundred Saint level experts from the War King School, displaying astonishing strength. The disciples who had left all felt extremely uncomfortable.
It turned out that the True Sword Sect had such strength, but they deliberately did not let them know. They hid it, causing them to make the wrong judgment and be mocked by others.
After being ridiculed, those who were originally calm became angry from embarrassment. They even became dissatisfied with the True Sword Sect, which gradually turned into hatred.
The ridicule of others and the torment in their hearts had not been easy for them. Now that they heard that the True Sword Sect was going to submit to the Warlord Sect, they all heaved a sigh of relief. It was as if they had made the right choice. Otherwise, they would have to submit to the Warlord Sect right now.
…
"In the end, the True Sword Sect was unable to withstand the pressure from the Battle King Sect." Some people shook their heads and sighed.
"The Battle King Sect is unstoppable."
"From the looks of it, the strength of the True Sword Sect is only so-so. If they don't submit, they will only be exterminated. Between life and death, I believe many people know what to choose."
"Should I say that the True Sword Sect knows when to advance and retreat, or are they afraid of death?"
There were all kinds of discussions.
…
"Third brother is indeed powerful. He immediately subdued the True Sword Sect."
In the Battle King Sect, the envoys were all impressed.
"Why hasn't the third brother returned yet?" The second envoy was puzzled.
"He is interested in the True Sword Sect's leader. He must be trying to figure it out." The first envoy said, "Sometimes, the third brother's temperament is like that of a child."
For the time being, they did not suspect anything. They also thought that the True Sword Sect was really going to submit to the Battle King Sect.
This was the situation that the elders of the True Sword Sect wanted to see the most. They wanted to drag it out as long as possible. Although there would be a day when the truth would be revealed sooner or later, the longer they dragged it out, the better. It would be best if they could drag it out until the leader came out of seclusion. Otherwise, without the leader, the elders would not feel confident. It was not because they were useless, but because they were under a lot of pressure. Their personal life and death did not mean anything, but the survival of the True Sword Sect was the most important thing. If they thought too much, the pressure would increase.
That was the difference between being an elder and not being a leader.
The leader of a sect had to have the ability to control the entire sect. He would be the backbone of the sect and would be able to calm the hearts of the people. However, the elders were only responsible for one aspect of the sect. They had to think about different things.
Very quickly, a day passed. The third envoy of the Battle King Sect still did not appear. One day was actually nothing. No one suspected anything.
Two days … Three days … Four days …
On the fifth day, the third envoy of the Battle King Sect still did not appear. This attracted the attention of the Battle King Sect.
"Why hasn't the third brother returned yet?" The second envoy was confused.
Logically speaking, no matter how curious the third envoy was, a few days should be enough.
Each of them had a life plate left behind by the fusion of their spirit and blood essence. Unfortunately, they were not in the Battle King Sect. They were in another place that they could not reach. Only the leader knew about it. However, the leader had not appeared for a few days already. It seemed that he had left the Battle King Sect temporarily and had not returned.
They could only continue to wait until the leader returned.
…
Inside the True Sword Sect, the disciples did not go out. However, there were many discussions because the news from the outside world had spread.
"Impossible. How could the leader submit to the Battle King Sect?"
"I don't believe it either."
There were all kinds of discussions. Almost all the disciples believed that the leader would not submit to the Battle King Sect. However, there must be a reason for the news to spread.
However, because the leader had not appeared for a long time, the disciples were worried. Fortunately, the elders had spread the news that the leader was in emergency seclusion.
Emergency seclusion meant that he was about to make a breakthrough in a certain aspect.
In the Boundary Monument Palace, Chu Mu had been cultivating the Third Transformation Technique.
Cultivating the primordial spirit would consume the primordial spirit's power. Therefore, it was impossible to cultivate continuously. However, Chu Mu was in the Boundary Monument Palace. Under the rich and pure Yang Qi, he could continuously absorb and refine it. With the Black Gold Mask's thirty percent boost, his primordial spirit's recovery speed was extremely fast. This allowed him to cultivate even more.
Cultivating over and over again, and on the fifth day, Chu Mu felt that his primordial spirit had reached the peak. It had reached the true limit of the peak of the second level.
Next, it was time to break through.
After five days of cultivation, Chu Mu continued to absorb and accumulate the Yang Qi. After a certain amount, he began to break through.
"Break!"
"Break!"
"Break!"
In the spiritual world, three sounds rang out. Each sound was louder than the previous, and each sound was stronger than the previous. It was like a thunderclap.
The primordial spirit's power continued to rotate, carrying the rich and pure Yang Qi. It was like the roar of the sea and the impact of the collapse of the mountains. In an instant, there was a pop. It was as if something had been broken. The Third Transformation Technique entered the Third Transformation Technique.
In an instant, Chu Mu felt his spiritual world tremble. There seemed to be a layer of black light above his primordial spirit. Immediately, his primordial spirit seemed to become very light. It almost flew up, but in an instant, it became heavy and fell down. It was more stable and solid.
The luster around his primordial spirit became a long and heavy pure black.
The primordial spirit's light of the black iron primordial spirit was black. It went from the initial faint black to a pure and heavy black. It had experienced three levels of change.
The light of the primordial spirit now represented that Chu Mu's primordial spirit had broken through from the peak of the second level to the third level.
The reason why he could break through so quickly was that Chu Mu's primordial spirit was very strong. The peak of the second level was comparable to a third level primordial spirit. The second was the endless pure Yang Qi in the Boundary Stele Hall. The third was the Mystic Thoughts Third Transformation Technique.
All three were indispensable. Of course, Chu Mu's primordial spirit had to be at the peak of the second level.
Once the primordial spirit broke through, the feeling was immediately different. His six senses rose sharply. His comprehension and other aspects were also enhanced.
"I've finally broken through. The third level of the primordial spirit. It's a pity that I can't improve quickly from now on," Chu Mu said.
He was now at the early stage of the third level of the primordial spirit. There were still three levels after that: the middle stage, the late stage, and the peak stage. Every small improvement was not easy. If he did not have a primordial spirit cultivation technique, it would take at least decades or centuries. With a powerful primordial spirit cultivation technique, he could shorten the time by several times or even more.
The early stage of the third level primordial spirit, with its own uniqueness and the thirty percent boost from the Black Gold Mask, was comparable to a late stage of the third level primordial spirit.
Chu Mu took out the primordial spirit attack secret technique, the Soul Piercing Needle, and began to study it.
The cultivation method of the third level primordial spirit attack secret technique, the Soul Piercing Needle, was to cultivate the power of the primordial spirit into the shape of a needle. The process was not complicated, but it required a lot of patience to condense the power of the primordial spirit into the shape of a needle.
Once the needle was formed, the next step would be to continuously refine and nurture it until it reached the limit.
During the attack, the power of the Soul Piercing Needle would be stimulated and the power of the primordial spirit would be consumed. When released, the needle would pierce into the opponent's spiritual world and go straight for the primordial spirit.
The power of the primordial spirit was different from the power of the soul.
The power of the soul could be said to be a derivative of the power of the primordial spirit. The power of the soul could be released at will, but the power of the primordial spirit was contained within the primordial spirit. Only a primordial spirit attack secret technique could release it, and only a primordial spirit defense secret technique could defend against it.
Chu Mu had a third level primordial spirit, so it was not difficult for him to cultivate the Soul Piercing Needle.
In less than half a day, a black needle was successfully condensed and suspended above the head of the primordial spirit.
The current Soul Piercing Needle was only at the level of a first level primordial spirit. With the boost from Chu Mu's third level primordial spirit, it could threaten a second level primordial spirit.
The next step was to refine the Soul Piercing Needle and raise its grade until it reached the peak of the third level. This would require some time. Chu Mu came out of seclusion.
