Huyan Zhengting walked out of the place where the True Sword Sect kept their cultivation techniques and sword techniques. His mind was filled with the sword techniques that he had seen.
The sword techniques that had been collected were only the less precious parts of the True Sword Sect. They couldn't be considered to be very profound. Only a few of them had reached the Heaven level. Even if they were placed outside, they would still have an extraordinary value. However, to Huyan Zhengting, such a sword technique was nothing. The sword technique that he had cultivated was clearly superior.
Therefore, after flipping through them, Huyan Zhengting could not help but feel a little disappointed.
On second thought, perhaps the true inheritance of the True Sword Sect was not placed there. After all, the defensive power there was not strong enough. In other words, the True Sword Sect had other places to collect profound books.
Although Huyan Zhengting really wanted to take a look, he also understood that he had just joined the True Sword Sect and did not have the qualifications to do so. He could only calm his heart and cultivate while truly integrating into the True Sword Sect and becoming a part of it. In any case, he did not have any abnormal thoughts when he joined the True Sword Sect. It was very simple. He just wanted to pursue a higher level of the Sword Dao. That was all.
… ….
Huyan Zhengting's whereabouts would often reach Chu Mu's ears.
"It seems that he is really sincere in joining the True Sword Sect." Chu Mu thought.
Chu Mu could see that Huyan Zhengting was a person who was obsessed with the Sword Dao. However, he was from the Cang Lan Royal Family and was a young prince. His status was not inferior to Chu Mu's. If he wanted to join the True Sword Sect, it would inevitably arouse Chu Mu's suspicion.
Now that he had observed for a period of time, it seemed that the other party did not have any special purpose. Of course, it was still not enough time to make a definite judgment. However, he could make a preliminary estimate.
Even so, Chu Mu did not plan to let Huyan Zhengting obtain the Profound Yang Sword Token and know of the existence of the Profound Yang Sword Realm.
The current True Sword Sect was not strong enough.
Every day, he cultivated sword energy, comprehended the Sword Heaven and Earth, and fought with Chu Cangfeng's sword techniques. When there was moonlight, he cultivated Yuan Spirit secret techniques. Days passed like this.
There were no fights. He could feel his cultivation base and strength improving bit by bit. Sometimes, Huyan Zhengting would come looking for Chu Mu to ask for guidance. Naturally, Chu Mu would not hesitate to fight him at the peak of the Sect Master's Peak.
Now, Huyan Zhengting was a part of the True Sword Sect. Although Chu Mu couldn't think of a way to define Huyan Zhengting's position, that didn't stop Chu Mu from giving him pointers.
A two star early stage Martial Saint giving pointers to a four star early stage Martial Saint might sound funny, but it was the truth. In terms of swordsmanship, Huyan Zhengting was clearly inferior to Chu Mu.
After receiving Chu Mu's guidance, Huyan Zhengting's two self-created sword techniques had been further perfected, and their might had also increased.
A month and a half had passed since Huyan Zheng Ting arrived at the True Sword Sect. The Great Elder and Xia Zhenkong had just returned to the sect.
However, when they left, there were only the two of them and six Martial Saints from the three sects. There were a total of eight Martial Saints, but when they returned, there were only six.
Chu Mu didn't find it strange that the three leaders of the three sects had come. After all, it wasn't a small matter for the three sects to be subordinates of the True Sword Sect. For the three sects and the True Sword Sect, it was a huge matter. Naturally, they had to treat it with care.
However, the first envoy of the Battle King Sect had left after Chu Mu had let him go. Why would he come to the True Sword Sect now?
Moreover, why would he come with the Great Elder and the others?
Chu Mu glanced at him. His face was pale, his eyes were dim, and his aura was chaotic. He knew that he was injured, and very seriously.
"Patriarch Chu, our Great Elder lost. Our Star Sword Sect admits defeat." Said the leader of the Star Sword Sect to Chu Mu. He was a mid-level seven Martial Saint. He was even stronger than the Great Elder. "But as the leader of the Star Sword Sect, I created the Star Sword Sect. I don't want the Star Sword Sect to become a branch of the True Sword Sect."
"Do you want to break your sword oath?" asked Chu Mu indifferently.
"No, I won't break my Great Elder's sword oath. I heard from the Great Elder that Patriarch Chu is a cultivator of the Primordial Spirit Dao." Said the leader of the Star Sword Sect. His eyes were shining like stars. "Patriarch Chu, please use your Primordial Spirit Dao to attack me."
It was a strange request. Everyone didn't understand. They frowned and looked at the leader of the Star Sword Sect. Even the leaders of the King Sword Sect and Gazing Sword Sect had the same expression.
"What do you mean?" asked Chu Mu.
"I don't want to accept this. So, I need a reason that I can accept," said the leader of the Star Sword Sect.
His words were easy to understand. He had created the Star Sword Sect and put in a lot of effort. But now, he had to become a branch of someone else. It was normal for him to be unwilling.
But, what did he mean?
Without thinking too much, Chu Mu used the Soul Splitting Wheel.
The Soul Splitting Wheel, which had completely stabilized at the early stage of the fourth level, shot into the leader of the Star Sword Sect's spiritual world and went straight for his Primordial Spirit.
The leader of the Star Sword Sect's Primordial Spirit was also a fourth level Primordial Spirit. However, the luster around his Primordial Spirit was darker than that of the Great Elder of the Star Sword Sect. It was close to bronze. It could barely be considered a mid-stage fourth level Primordial Spirit.
What was worth Chu Mu's attention was that outside the leader of the Star Sword Sect's Primordial Spirit, other than the bronze Primordial Spirit light, there was also a blue luster. The blue luster was like ripples in the sea, but it was fixed in one place and didn't leave.
This was a Primordial Spirit Defense Secret Technique. The blue luster, which was like the sea, protected the leader of the Star Sword Sect's Primordial Spirit.
The early stage of the fourth level Soul Splitting Wheel instantly shot toward the leader's Primordial Spirit. It was extremely fast. In an instant, it entered the sky above the blue luster. The blue luster fluctuated and surged upward like a huge wave, rushing toward the Soul Splitting Wheel.
The Soul Splitting Wheel's cutting power was only slightly hindered. It broke through the heavy blue waves and continued forward.
"Level three Primordial Spirit Defense Secret Technique." In an instant, Chu Mu determined the level of the opponent's Primordial Spirit Defense Secret Technique.
However, a level three Primordial Spirit Defense Secret Technique couldn't withstand the attack of the early stage of the fourth level Soul Splitting Wheel, especially when it was cutting at high speed.
Soon, the Soul Splitting Wheel broke through the opponent's level three Primordial Spirit Defense Secret Technique and went straight for the Primordial Spirit. It was blocked by the bronze Primordial Spirit's light. The defensive power of the bronze Primordial Spirit's light was even stronger than a level three Primordial Spirit Defense Secret Technique. It instantly blocked Chu Mu's Soul Splitting Wheel.
However, it was only temporary. Under the constant cutting of the Soul Splitting Wheel, the bronze Primordial Spirit's light was quickly cut open. In just two breaths' time, the Soul Splitting Wheel arrived in front of the defenseless Primordial Spirit. Traces of coldness invaded, causing the leader's Primordial Spirit to tremble.
Chu Mu stopped the Soul Splitting Wheel and didn't cut open the leader's Primordial Spirit.
Then, the Soul Splitting Wheel quickly retreated and left the leader's spiritual world. It returned to Chu Mu's spiritual world.
"Sect Leader Chu is indeed a Primordial Spirit Cultivator." The leader of the Star Sword Sect had a strange expression on his face. There was excitement and loneliness. "The Star Sword Sect is willing to become a branch of the True Sword Sect."
The leader of the Star Sword Sect didn't quite understand his attitude. In fact, other than himself, no one else could understand how he felt.
However, since the leader of the Star Sword Sect had expressed his attitude, he probably wouldn't go back on his words.
Hearing the leader of the Star Sword Sect's words, the leaders of the King Sword Sect and the Wang Sword Sect knew that the situation was set. There was no turning back. Although they didn't want to, they could only accept the fact. They would look for an opportunity to leave later.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll first invite the three sect masters to the side palace to rest. After the sect elders discuss this, we'll discuss the next step." Chu Mu said. He didn't delay or hide anything, directly speaking.
The three leaders didn't object. They were led to the side hall to rest.
Then, Chu Mu looked at the former first envoy of the Battle King Sect.
"Sect Leader, I met him on the way back with Guest Xia. He was badly injured, so I saved him." The Great Elder explained. At that time, he didn't know that this person was the First Envoy of the Battle King Sect. At that time, the Great Elder was in seclusion and had never seen this person. When he found out later, he regretted saving this person and was about to kill him, but this person said that he wanted to see Sect Leader Chu.
Firstly, he was badly injured and secondly, Xia Zhenkong was there. The elder thought about it and agreed to his request.
"Sect Leader Chu, thank you for not killing me that day." The first envoy of the Battle King Sect bowed to Chu Mu to show his respect, "But the Battle King Sect has a huge background. Battle King Sect was wiped out and I was still alive. That wasn't allowed, so I was hunted down …"
Hearing the other party's words, Chu Mu understood.
Battle King Sect belonged to the Imperial Dynasty and all the envoys came from there. Battle King Sect was wiped out and he was the only one left. He was seen as a traitor and was hunted down. Although the Imperial Dynasty had nurtured him, he had completed many missions for the Imperial Dynasty. After being hunted down, he cut all ties with the Imperial Dynasty.
Fortunately, he met the elder this time. Otherwise, he would have most probably died from his injuries.
"Then, you can heal up in the sect." Chu Mu said. He didn't mention the matter of him staying to join the True Sword Sect. He had already mentioned it once and was rejected. If he mentioned it now, it would seem like he was trying to force him to repay him.
"Sect Leader Chu, can the True Sword Sect take me in?" The former first envoy of the Battle King Sect hesitated. He thought about something and added, "But if the Imperial Dynasty finds out, it will be really bad for the True Sword Sect."
Normally, when one heard his second sentence, it would be normal to reject him.
However, Chu Mu wouldn't refuse. When True Sword Sect destroyed Battle King Gate, they were already at odds with Imperial Court. They were stopped by Canglan Empire, so it wasn't a big deal for True Sword Sect to take in another person being hunted down by Imperial Court.
