Thousands of years ago, the True God Sword Sect had dominated the sea and was viewed as a thorn in the side of the sea race. Although the Heavenly Saint Cult was a human force, they also viewed the True God Sword Sect as an enemy.
Elder Zhao was an official disciple of the True God Sword Sect back then and didn't know much about it. He thought that the Heavenly Saint Cult was the main culprit behind the True God Sword Sect's extermination, but the truth wasn't so. What caused the True God Sword Sect's extermination was an unforeseen event that even Dugu Chong wasn't clear about. That event was a disaster, causing many strong practitioners of the True God Sword Sect to die. Only then did the sea race find an opportunity.
After that, the Heavenly Saint Cult was just there to take advantage of the situation.
Under the incomparably tragic battle back then, there were tens of thousands of people in the True God Sword Sect. Almost all of them died. Occasionally, there were fish that escaped the net, but they couldn't do anything.
Dugu Chong was saved from the brink of death and survived in the end. However, this kind of situation was extremely rare. It might even be that Dugu Chong was the only one.
The others were like the sect masters of the three sects who went out to carry out missions or were forcefully chased away by their masters, leaving behind sparks. There were also people like Elder Zhao and the other elders who were only official disciples and didn't have the right to participate in that level of battle. They were lucky not to have died.
Even if a portion of them didn't die, after thousands of years, there were countless possibilities. Those who died were dead, and those who were crippled were crippled.
Thus, several months had passed since the True Sword Sect issued the order to return to the sect. Dugu Chong had arrived, and another few months had passed since. Two more Saint level experts had arrived, but they were only at the Five Star Saint level. One was called Waveshift, and the other was called Xing Jiu. They were not disciples of the True God Sword Sect, but the descendants of two elders of the True God Sword Sect.
These two people had been taught everything about the True God Sword Sect by their fathers since birth. They were to search for the Sword Sect Spirit Mark, and if they saw someone recognized by the Sword Sect Spirit Mark, they were to assist him, and so on.
Now, they had also heard the sect returning order and hurried over. With an attitude of trying, after Chu Mu took out the Sword Sect Spirit Mark, the two of them joined the True God Sword Sect.
The talents of these two people were quite good and could be classified as geniuses. They were able to surpass a small level and defeat strong enemies. Therefore, they were included in the Lingxiao Sword Cavalry and became Sword Cavalry Guards. The number of Sword Cavalry Guards increased from ten to twelve.
Another few months had passed, but no one from the True God Sword Sect or related descendants had come. Presumably, it was either too far away, or that was it. However, at least someone had come. It was not bad, especially Dugu Chong. This peerless expert was enough to protect the True Sword Sect.
Of course, the current True Sword Sect was in a peculiar state where it was neither strong nor weak. It could not compare to a super first-rate organisation like the Heavenly Yuan Palace, let alone a sacred ground like the Canglan Empire. However, compared to other first-rate organisations, Dugu Chong alone was enough to protect the True Sword Sect.
Dugu Chong had studied the Dao of Puppetry for thousands of years and had accumulated an extremely deep foundation. After obtaining the Heavenly Python Secret Manual and comprehending it for a period of time, he had integrated the Dao of Puppetry and his attainments had become even more profound. He was like a strongman who had astonishing strength but did not know how to use it. After receiving systematic training, he had mastered his own strength and could unleash 100% or even 120% of it.
With Dugu Chong, the Puppet Cave was further improved. More Saint level puppets were created to cooperate with the Puppet Formation to guard various parts of the True Sword Sect. As for the Heavenly Puppets, they were too precious. Chu Mu could not give them to Dugu Chong to study. If he wanted to study them, they would have to be taken apart.
At present, he had four Heavenly Puppets. He had one with him. The remaining three had already gained sentience. Taking them apart would cause them great damage.
Although Dugu Chong wanted to study them, he also knew the difficulty and key points. Therefore, he did not dare to do it. He only studied the Dao of Puppetry. He would not touch the Heavenly Puppets for now.
Dugu Chong also planned to choose one or two disciples who were interested in the Dao of Puppetry as his disciples to teach the Dao of Puppetry. However, this would require a long period of observation.
After nearly a year, the True Sword Sect had become even stronger.
Chu Mu also gave the Profound Yang Sword Token to all the Soaring Firmament Sword Cavalry, allowing them to enter the Profound Yang Sword World to cultivate. Although Jian Kuangsheng was a peak Seven Star Saint expert, he could enter the Profound Yang Sword World to temper his Saint body and comprehend secret sword manuals, sword arts, and so on. It would not cause any harm to the Profound Yang Sword World.
As for the others, they could make good use of the Pure Yang Qi to cultivate.
The ten esoteric disciples also finally obtained the Profound Yang Sword Token.
After experiencing the Puppet Cave and Spiritual Pool, the ten of them had already reached the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Nirvana. After consolidating for a period of time, they could begin to break through to the Eternal Realm.
Once they succeeded in breaking through to the Eternal Realm in the Profound Yang Sword World, they would be able to temper their Pure Yang Saint Body and become even stronger.
What made Chu Mu regretful was that the Profound Yang Sword World he obtained did not have any cultivation method for the Pure Yang Saint Body. Otherwise, it would be even better.
After nearly a year, Chu Mu's harvest was not small.
Dugu Chong was an elder of the True God Sword Sect and had extraordinary knowledge. Now that he had become a peerless expert, his realm was higher than Chu Mu's. Under his guidance, Chu Mu's self-created sword moves were further perfected.
Unfortunately, Elder Dugu Chong's sword force had been at the peak of the Ninth Level for many years and had not broken through. According to him, the next level of sword force would be even stronger. It was called the Sword Intent.
When Chu Mu heard about it, he was very surprised and also very expectant.
The True Intent of Sword seemed to belong to the same lineage as the True Intent of Piercing, True Intent of Slashing, True Intent of Defense, and True Intent of Qi that he had comprehended before. However, according to Dugu Chong, the True Intent of Sword was much harder to comprehend than the other True Intents.
Dugu Chong had spent thousands of years and still hadn't been able to comprehend it. One of the reasons for this was that his talent in Sword Dao was indeed not strong enough. But there was also another reason, and that was that the difficulty of comprehending the True Intent of Sword was too high.
Chu Mu did not know how long it would take for him to comprehend the Sword Intent. Perhaps it would take a few years, a few decades, or a few centuries. However, at least he knew the next level of sword force. At least, it was equivalent to having a goal.
Cultivating with a goal was more motivating than cultivating without a goal. Otherwise, without a goal, one would be at a loss. If one was at a loss for a long time, it was inevitable that one would not be able to persevere and give up halfway.
During this period of time, Chu Cangfeng constantly battled with Chu Mu and also received Chu Mu's teachings. He was becoming more and more mature, and could completely take charge of things on his own.
Everything in the True Sword Sect was on the right track. There was no need for Chu Mu to worry about their safety.
"It's time to leave." At the top of the Sect Master's Peak, Chu Mu finished his cultivation and looked at the horizon.
It had been a few years since he returned to the True Sword Sect. In these few years, the True Sword Sect's strength had undergone tremendous changes. Now, even if the Imperial Dynasty came for revenge, as long as they did not send too many experts, the True Sword Sect had nothing to fear with Dugu Chong around.
Of course, if the Imperial Dynasty's Warmonarch personally came, Dugu Chong would not be a match for him. However, the Canglan Dynasty would not stand by and do nothing.
The True Sword Sect could be said to have the ability to protect themselves now.
After half a month, the ten esoteric disciples all successfully broke through to the First Sky of the Aeon Realm. Naturally, they also became Ling Xiao Sword Cavalry Quasi-Guards. The new ten esoteric disciples were also being selected.
Today, Chu Mu, Gu Luankong, Yang Zhantian, and Lian Hongyun left the True Sword Sect again.
This time, Chu Mu did not know how long it would take for him to return to the True Sword Sect. Because this time, his goal was to find the Deep Blue God Pearl and unlock the secrets of the world.
Every time Chu Mu left, he would not hide it. Therefore, whether it was the elders, the Sword Cavalry, or the disciples, they all knew that their Sect Master was going to leave again.
Every time Sect Master left and came back, his cultivation would be higher and his strength would be stronger. Therefore, they weren't surprised by Chu Mu's departure. They were still looking forward to the next time Sect Master came back, just how powerful he would be.
On a blue flying ship, there were only four people, Chu Mu, Gu Luankong, and Lian Hongyun.
The flying ship took off from the True Sword Sect and turned into a ray of blue light in the eyes of the elders and disciples. It was like a meteor streaking across the sky as it flew into the distance.
In the blink of an eye, the blue flying ship disappeared into the horizon.
…
Inside the flying ship, Chu Mu, Gu Luankong, and Lian Hongyun were drinking wine.
"My strength was originally not as good as yours. Now that our cultivation has been pulled apart, the gap is even bigger." Lian Hongyun said bitterly as she drank.
In the past few years of cultivating in the True Sword Sect, their cultivation had also increased. All of them had reached the mid-stage of the First Sky of the Aeon Realm. Ordinary First Sky of the Aeon Realm would need at least ten years to reach the mid-stage. However, they were talented and with the help of the Profound Yang Sword Palace, they were able to reach the mid-stage in a few years.
The increase in cultivation from the early-stage to the mid-stage of the Aeon Realm wasn't that obvious. However, other than the increase in cultivation, their sword skills and other aspects had also improved significantly. Naturally, they were much stronger.
Compared to others, such an improvement should be considered very large. However, compared to Chu Mu, it couldn't compare. The difference was too large.
They were both at the early-stage of the First Sky of the Aeon Realm, but Chu Mu was at the early-stage of the Second Sky of the Aeon Realm. Not only did the difference not decrease, it actually increased. Furthermore, they were all cultivating, unlike Chu Mu who had to take care of other aspects as the sect leader.
It was no wonder that Lian Hongyun was depressed.
"It's mainly because of the hundred-year secret realm." Chu Mu smiled and said honestly.
The hundred-year secret realm could be said to be a great opportunity for him. Otherwise, his cultivation would still be at the early-stage of the First Sky of the Aeon Realm. At most, he would be at the peak of the early-stage of the Aeon Realm.
"The hundred-year secret realm is indeed a magical place." Gu Luankong said. This was an opportunity. Some people could obtain it, while others couldn't. It couldn't be forced.
