Chu Mu's forcefulness was not to be rejected.
No matter what the people from the Royal Sword Sect, the Gazing Sword Sect and the Starsword Sect said, they were unable to sway Chu Mu's decision.
Just as Chu Mu had said, if they had not come to him, Chu Mu would not have known of their existence. Naturally, he would not have had any thoughts about them.
However, since they had come to him of their own accord and interfered with True Sword Sect's affairs without his consent and even attempted to devour True Sword Sect, Chu Mu obviously would not treat people like that kindly.
The three great sects were all second-rate forces, led by the Star Sword Sect. They had already discussed among themselves that they would swallow up the True Sword Sect with the Star Sword Sect as the leader. They would gradually divide the True Sword Sect, and in the end, split up the disciples and cultivation resources of the True Sword Sect.
On the other hand, Chu Mu wanted the three sects to submit and become branches of the True Sword Sect.
The strong preyed on the weak. This was the most vivid example of a sect. Wasn't that what the Battle King Sect did?
Chu Mu did not give them much of a choice. Didn't they want to take over the True Sword Sect?
They could, as long as they had the strength to take over the True Sword Sect. On the other hand, if they were taken over by the True Sword Sect, they would have to submit to the True Sword Sect and become a branch of the True Sword Sect.
It didn't matter if they left the True Sword Sect and returned to their respective sects or used some other method to inform their sects. As long as they sent out the strongest experts from their sects to fight with the experts from the True Sword Sect, the outcome would be decided based on the outcome.
The people from the three sects all chose to leave the True Sword Sect and return to their sects. When they left, Chu Mu told them very straightforwardly that he would only give them three months. If the experts of the three sects did not come to the True Sword Sect within three months, he would take the initiative to attack with the experts of the True Sword Sect.
This was not a threat. It was a fact.
…
"The sect master of the True Sword Sect is too arrogant."
"Whether he's arrogant or confident, when the experts of our three sects arrive, the True Sword Sect will have to submit obediently."
"I wonder which sword manuals of the True God Sword Sect are passed down in the True Sword Sect?"
The people from the three sects took the same flying ship and left. Inside the flying ship, there was a lot of discussion and speculation.
The three great sects were indeed as they had said. The sect masters were all disciples of the True God Sword Sect back then. When they went out to train or carry out missions, they were left alive.
With the sword manuals passed down by the True God Sword Sect, their talents were not bad either. After thousands of years of cultivation, each of them became a Saint-level expert. They established their own sect and passed it down, gradually growing stronger.
The three great sects worked together and gained a firm foothold in the Cloud Region.
This time, some of the disciples were out training. When they passed by the Canglan Dynasty, they heard news about the True Sword Sect. After they brought the news back to their respective sects, their sects began to pay more attention to it. After confirming it, they discussed and decided on a plan.
They didn't think that they would be able to capture the True Sword Sect as soon as they made their move. The strength of the True Sword Sect's Sect Master was beyond their expectations.
Now, he had to rush back and report the situation here. Then, he would discuss it and make a new plan to take down the True Sword Sect.
…
The moment Chu Mu returned, he resolved the sect's matters swiftly and decisively.
He was able to do this because he was confident in himself. It was because he had the ability and foundation to do so.
Without the interference of outsiders, the True Sword Sect's development was once again on the right track. As for Chu Mu, he planned to cultivate for a period of time.
During the hundred years in the 100-year secret realm, Chu Mu cultivated the Yuan Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique, which raised his Yuan Spirit from the early stage to the peak of the third stage. Although he didn't break through in the next few decades, his foundation became more and more stable under the tempering of his Yuan Spirit. He had reached the limit of the peak of the third stage and couldn't improve any further. The next step was to break through.
The breakthrough from the third stage to the fourth stage was many times more difficult than from the second stage to the third stage. This was because it was a qualitative change. It was a qualitative change from the black iron Yuan Spirit to the bronze Yuan Spirit.
Simply put, a peak level two Yuan Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique used by a peak level two Yuan Spirit could pose a threat to an early stage level three Yuan Spirit that didn't cultivate any Yuan Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique. However, a peak level three Yuan Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique used by a peak level three Yuan Spirit wouldn't be able to do anything to an early stage level four Yuan Spirit.
The bronze Yuan Spirit Light of a fourth stage Yuan Spirit would naturally be able to withstand a peak level three Yuan Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique without being harmed at all.
A fourth stage Yuan Spirit was also the starting point for the formation of a Primordial Spirit Dharma Power.
All in all, the difference between a fourth stage Yuan Spirit and a third stage Yuan Spirit was on two completely different levels.
He had accumulated enough. What he needed now was an opportunity.
At night, Chu Mu looked up at the sky. There was moonlight. He went to the Sect Master's Peak and sat down to cultivate the Yuan Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique.
This was Chu Mu's first time cultivating the Yuan Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique under the moonlight.
The faint moonlight sprinkled down from the sky and landed on Chu Mu's body in all directions. It was as if a layer of silver frost had permeated the air.
Traces of moonlight seeped into Chu Mu's body and into his spiritual world. Chu Mu felt a trace of coolness.
Under the attraction of the Yuan Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique, traces of moonlight entered Chu Mu's spiritual world and flowed into his Primordial Spirit.
Moonlight was an extremely pure form of energy that didn't contain any impurities. However, there weren't many cultivation techniques that could absorb moonlight for cultivation.
Moreover, although moonlight was pure, it was very thin. It usually took a long time to absorb it for it to be effective.
Tonight, Chu Mu absorbed very little moonlight.
The thin moonlight was absorbed by Chu Mu's Primordial Spirit bit by bit. Outside the Primordial Spirit, there was a layer of moonlight that permeated the air. It was lustrous and looked even more magnificent.
The night passed very quickly. It was like closing and opening one's eyes. When Chu Mu couldn't feel the moonlight anymore, he stopped cultivating the Yuan Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique.
He could feel that after a night of cultivation, his Primordial Spirit seemed to have undergone an indescribable change. This change was very subtle, but it was a good change.
The Great Elder was still cultivating in seclusion in the Profound Yang Sword Palace. Gu Luankong and the other two were also cultivating in the Profound Yang Sword Palace.
Pure Yang Qi could refine the Primordial Spirit, blood and Yuan Li. The effect was very good.
If they cultivated for a long time, Gu Luankong and the other two could even increase their Sacred Body's Pure Yang Qi. At that time, their Sacred Body would become even stronger.
The other elders and disciples were also in the midst of their cultivation. However, the Profound Yang Sword Realm couldn't be known by others. Therefore, the ten Esoteric Disciples still didn't have the qualifications to enter it to cultivate. However, they had obtained the right to cultivate in the Spiritual Pool and their cultivation had increased rapidly.
Chu Mu also placed the various treasures that he had taken from the Canglan Dynasty's secret vault.
Refining Heart Valley, Crazed Battle Hall and the others were all discussing how to deduct contribution points to cultivate under the elders' discussion.
The Great Energy Gathering Array and the Eight Phase Sky Lock Array were also completed. The Great Energy Gathering Array would always be activated, while the Eight Phase Sky Lock Array would only be activated when a strong enemy attacked. Once it was activated, even a Nine Star Saint expert would be trapped and attacked.
With the Eight Phase Sky Lock Array, the True Sword Sect's mountain gate could be considered to have the ability to protect itself.
The various cultivation treasures that Chu Mu brought back injected new vitality into the True Sword Sect's development.
Everything was developing in a better direction.
The bright moon didn't appear every day. Sometimes, it would be covered by dark clouds. Under such circumstances, Chu Mu couldn't absorb the moonlight.
Sometimes, the moonlight was thin and the effect wasn't obvious.
Fourteen days had passed in a row. Out of the fourteen days, there was no moonlight to absorb for six days. The remaining eight days, there was only thin moonlight to absorb.
However, tonight was different. Chu Mu's eyes lit up.
The bright moon in the sky was like a disc. The moonlight it emitted was extremely bright and much denser than before.
Chu Mu sat down with his legs crossed and began to circulate the secret technique of the Hanging Moon. As soon as he circulated it, the dense and pure moonlight was drawn over, seeping into Chu Mu's body and entering his mental world.
Because of the Bright Moon Hovering Sky Primordial Spirit cultivation technique, the moonlight around Chu Mu was completely absorbed, forming a patch of darkness. Soon after, the moonlight in the sky quickly flowed over, replenishing the darkness in a timely manner, causing the moonlight to look like flowing water, adding a bit more movement.
Chu Mu continuously absorbed the moonlight. A layer of lustre appeared around Chu Mu's soul, as if he was wearing a robe of moonlight. It gave him a sense of mystery.
He constantly absorbed the moonlight. Although it wasn't much in the past few days of cultivation, it had gradually caused slight changes to his soul. It had accumulated over time.
Today's absorption had increased. Chu Mu felt his soul tremble slightly, as if a brand new energy was emerging from the depths of his soul.
The light of the black iron soul around his soul already had a faint bronze lustre. As the new power emerged, the bronze lustre gradually became stronger and spread out.
As the moonlight was constantly absorbed, the light of Chu Mu's soul gradually changed.
The changes in the light of the soul were closely related to the level of the soul.
Suddenly, Chu Mu felt his soul tremble violently. A powerful suction directly appeared, directly absorbing all the moonlight within a kilometer of Chu Mu. This caused the entire area to sink into darkness in an instant.
In this darkness, Chu Mu only felt that the new power in his Yuan Spirit had become extremely powerful. As it emerged, it impacted his Yuan Spirit from top to bottom. The Black Iron Yuan Spirit's light rapidly transformed. Bronze color spread out and the Bronze Yuan Spirit's light replaced the original Black Iron Yuan Spirit's light.
Chu Mu's soul had successfully advanced from a level three soul to a level four soul.
The advancement of his soul made the power of Chu Mu's soul even more powerful. His thoughts also became clearer. In that instant, he actually felt like he had grasped a part of the world. It was as if he could dominate everything as long as he wanted to.
Of course, this was an illusion. However, his soul had indeed become much more powerful after reaching the initial level of a level four soul.
