Sharp people seemed to have a dog's nose. They immediately sensed that something was amiss.
The Canglan Empire bestowed the title of True Sword Marquis to Chu Mu. This undoubtedly revealed that the Canglan Empire wanted to rope in Chu Mu to resist the Imperial Court's revenge.
"I never thought that the Canglan Empire would do such a thing," said an elder of the Tianyuan Palace.
"That's normal. The current Canglan Emperor is a man of great talent and vision. He's willing to accept the world. For someone like Chu Mu, who can kill a four star Saint as a one star Saint, it's completely worth it for him to pay a huge price to rope him in." The grand elder of the Tianyuan Palace said, "The True Sword Sect's development is ferocious, and they have a monstrous genius like Chu Mu as their sect master. I can foresee that he'll be a future expert. If it weren't for the fact that our Tianyuan Sect's foundation isn't enough to contend against the Imperial Court, the palace master would definitely take action to rope in Chu Mu."
"It seems like the Canglan Empire's interference is the reason why the ten nine star Saints of the Imperial Court returned without any results."
"I can foresee that the True Sword Sect will become the mainstream for a period of time in the future. In the future, if nothing unexpected happens, the True Sword Sect will also become a first-rate sect, standing on the same level as our Tianyuan Palace."
"I feel that it's better to provide timely assistance than icing on the cake. The current True Sword Sect is still relatively weak. It's in a period of rapid development. It's a sect of the Canglan Empire just like our Tianyuan Palace. The sect master of the True Sword Sect and our palace master can be considered officials of the same empire. Speaking of which, they can also form an alliance with our Tianyuan Palace."
Facing a rapidly developing sect with limitless potential, those powerful sects would usually adopt three methods to deal with them.
First, eliminate them while they're still weak, so as to prevent the experts from competing with them for resources when they grow up.
Second, provide timely assistance, leaving behind a debt of gratitude, or even form an alliance to watch over them. In the future, when they develop, they'll become true allies, advancing and retreating together.
Seventh and third, ignore them. This was usually because the distance was too far or the nature was different.
It seemed that the Tianyuan Palace, the only first-rate sect of the Canglan Empire, was prepared to choose the second method. It had to be said that this was a very wise choice.
…
Within the True Sword Sect, Chu Mu was currently organizing the treasures bestowed by the Azure Water Imperial Family.
Being conferred the title of Marquis wasn't just a title and status. It also had something substantial, which was cultivation resources.
Chu Mu couldn't help but sigh. As expected of an ancient Holy Land. Their foundation was unfathomable, and the rewards for becoming a Marquis were plentiful.
The most basic Elemental Core was still a Superior Grade Elemental Core. There were a total of one billion of them.
There were pills that were suitable for Nirvana Realm experts, and there were even pills that were suitable for low-level and mid-level Saint Realm experts.
Saint level medicinal pills were all very precious. In addition, there were thirty Sky-Piercing Saint Swords, many precious ores used to forge the swords, and many spirit herbs.
There were also ten cultivation techniques and ten sword techniques. There was also a secret technique that could increase one's cultivation base. It was suitable for Saint level experts to cultivate. After cultivating it to perfection, it could increase one's strength by ten times.
There was also a treasure called Elemental Gathering Tower.
The Elemental Gathering Tower was a cultivation secret treasure that was used to aid cultivation. There were a total of three levels. The first level had twice the Yuan Qi of the outside world, the second level had twice the Yuan Qi of the outside world, and the third level was the highest, with four times the Yuan Qi of the outside world. Not only was it effective for cultivators below the Nirvana Realm, it was also effective for low-level Saint level experts.
With these, the cultivation resources of the True Sword Sect had increased by a lot.
At this moment, Chu Mu had the Elemental Gathering Tower in his left hand. The Elemental Gathering Tower was only the size of a palm, and it was surrounded by a layer of Yuan Qi fluctuations.
In Chu Mu's right hand was a black wooden tablet. On one side of the wooden tablet were two raised words: Beast Taming.
On the other side of the wooden tablet was a carving of a two-headed dragon. One of the dragon's heads was ice blue, and the other was fire red. The scales on its body were also intertwined with ice blue and fire red.
The Beast Taming Tablet was a secret treasure as well. It was an extremely rare secret treasure that could capture and seal spiritual beasts within. When necessary, the spiritual beasts could be released and controlled by the owner of the tablet.
Chu Mu cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the black tablet. At the same time, he sent a strand of his soul into it. Immediately, a close connection was established between him and the tablet.
"Come out." With a shake of the tablet, he sent his sword origin into it. Immediately, the tablet shone brightly. At first, it was a smear of black light. Then, within the black light, a streak of ice blue and fire red light shot into the sky.
A figure seemed to shoot out from the tablet, rapidly expanding nearby. Afterwards, two intertwining dragon roars rang out. One was explosive, like a volcano erupting, while the other was frigid, like a thousand kilometers of ice.
Chu Mu stared at the thing in front of him in a daze. It was a two-headed dragon.
Both heads looked ferocious and domineering. One was fire red, and the other was ice blue. Their bodies were covered in scales, intertwined with fire red and ice blue.
The main hall of the True Sword Sect was very large. It was over a hundred meters wide. However, the two-headed dragon couldn't straighten itself. It had to bend. Chu Mu estimated that it was over a hundred and fifty meters long.
Once the Ice and Fire Dual Headed Dragon appeared, it let out a dragon roar and turned its head. Its four huge eyes were filled with a ferocious and ruthless glint as it stared fiercely at Chu Mu. It looked as if it could attack Chu Mu at any time and eat him up, yet it seemed to be worried about something.
Chu Mu knew that the Ice and Fire Dual Headed Dragon was wary of the Beast Taming Card in his hand. He had already dripped blood on it and was the owner of the Beast Taming Card. The Ice and Fire Dual Headed Dragon was enslaved by the Beast Taming Card, which meant that it was indirectly enslaved by Chu Mu. No matter how fierce it was, it couldn't attack Chu Mu. On the contrary, Chu Mu could use the Beast Taming Card to punish it.
"Peak seven-star Saint …" Chu Mu didn't care about the two-headed dragon's ferocious eyes. He sensed the fluctuation of its aura and nodded, "With your two-headed dragon's strength, you should be able to rival or even defeat regular eight-star early stage Saints."
The two-headed dragon's eyes were still ferocious. There was no other reaction.
"I know that you can understand me." Chu Mu spoke as if he was minding his own business. High rank Spirit Beasts all had high intelligence, especially the dragon species. They were even more intelligent and could understand human language.
"Let's make a deal." Chu Mu continued, "You will do your best to protect the True Sword Sect for a thousand years. After a thousand years, I will give you freedom. At that time, you can choose to stay or leave. But you can't be an enemy of the True Sword Sect."
Hearing Chu Mu's words, the two-headed dragon was stunned. The ferociousness in its eyes weakened and was replaced by doubt and disbelief.
Of course it was intelligent. Since it was captured by human experts and sealed in the tablet, it knew that its future was to become a battle beast of the human race. If it resisted, it would be punished and tortured.
Unexpectedly, this new master seemed to be different from its previous master. He actually wanted to make a deal with it.
Its first reaction was disbelief and doubt.
"There is no need to doubt. The True Sword Sect in a thousand years will already have a nine-star saint. But you may not be able to reach the nine-star saint level after a thousand years." Chu Mu saw the doubt in its eyes and said. Chu Mu didn't know what would happen in a thousand years, but he was confident. "So, after a thousand years, whether you stay or leave is up to you."
The Ice Fire Two-headed Dragon kept staring at Chu Mu. Chu Mu's expression was sincere and his eyes were pure. His deal was sincere. The Ice Fire Two-headed Dragon kept staring at Chu Mu and its gaze gradually softened.
"I will trust you this time." The Icefire Two-headed Flood Dragon said. It was the mouths of the two heads that were moving. The Icefire Two-headed Flood Dragon had two heads but only one consciousness.
"You should find a place to cultivate in the True Sword Sect." Chu Mu said, "Stay here and don't come out. If a high-level saint invades the True Sword Sect, you can eliminate them. After a thousand years, I will set you free."
"Okay." After giving Chu Mu a deep look, the two-headed dragon's body flashed and turned into a stream of icy blue light. In the blink of an eye, it shot out of the Sect Hall and disappeared.
At this time, a few elders quickly went in and looked around, but they didn't find anything.
"Sect Master, we heard a dragon's roar just now …" an elder said doubtfully.
"It's just a treasure." Chu Mu smiled and didn't tell the truth. He didn't want the people of the True Sword Sect to rely on the two-headed dragon. He didn't want them to slack off.
"Let's go and settle down this Yuan Gathering Pagoda. In the future, the disciples will have another place to cultivate." Chu Mu changed the topic.
He led the elders out of the Sect Master's Hall and looked around the Sect Master's Peak. Finally, they chose a place.
He injected the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence and Spiritual Energy into the Yuan Gathering Pagoda. The pagoda trembled and flew up. It expanded rapidly in the wind and slowly landed on an empty ground a few hundred meters away.
With a boom, the ground trembled. The three story Yuan Gathering Tower, which had become very big, fell down as if it had taken root in the ground. Waves of Qi spread out, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was attracted to it, rushing into the Yuan Gathering Tower.
The Yuan Gathering Pagoda could automatically absorb the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth from the surroundings and store it in the pagoda for people to cultivate. However, although the absorption speed of the Yuan Gathering Pagoda was fast, if there were too many people cultivating, the supply would not meet the demand and would require extra Yuan Dan to replenish.
"Elders, the Yuan Gathering Pagoda only allows Nirvana Realm disciples and low-level Saints to cultivate, but it will consume Yuan Dan. Therefore, you have to pay a corresponding amount of Sect Contribution Points to be able to enter. As for how long you need to cultivate on each level and how many Sect Contribution Points you need, I will leave it to the elders to discuss." Chu Mu said. He was the Sect Master and shouldn't worry about such things.
"Yes, Sect Master." The elders readily agreed.
