Chu Mu looked on coldly from the side, sweeping past the altars one by one.
"Get lost!" A loud shout was heard. Someone was trying to snatch a spot on one of the seven altars, but he was caught and thrown out.
However, in the other line, there were also people who cut in line. In the end, no one dared to chase them away. The people in the front didn't care because they weren't obstructed. However, those who were pushed to the back didn't dare to make a sound because the other party's cultivation was higher than theirs.
This was the reality, and this was the benefit of having strength.
Without strength, it would be difficult to move around in a place like this.
"You're courting death!" At another spot, someone was also trying to snatch a spot. However, his eyesight was not good, and he happened to snatch the spot of a fierce person, so he was kicked away. That person did not stop there. That person pulled out his sword, and with Level 2 sword force, he slashed out. It was like thunder breaking through the sky, and the thunderous sword light tore through everything in front of him. Under the shocked eyes of the other party, it was like a peerless thunderbolt slashing through the world.
Unable to block, he was struck by the sword and was sent flying. Blood splattered across the sky as he was sent flying hundreds of meters away. After landing on the ground, he struggled a few times. He was exhaling more than he was inhaling. He would not survive.
"Oh, oh, oh, there's blood again." A Seven Star Saint laughed mockingly.
"If you're not strong enough, then line up obediently. Otherwise, you can come to us. As long as you have ten Black Iron Hearts, you can use the altars immediately, and you don't have to wait in line. Think about it, the sooner you can master sword force, the sooner you'll be ahead of others."
Indeed, there was such a saying in the world of cultivation. If you're one step ahead, you'll be one step ahead. If you're one step behind, you'll be one step behind. This was a very common situation.
After seeing blood, it did not make people afraid. Instead, it aroused the fierceness of many people, and they relied on their strength to snatch a spot closer to the front.
Snatching a spot had to be very careful. If you snatched the wrong spot, you'd lose face or even lose your life.
However, not everyone had such good eyesight. There were always people who snatched the wrong spot, and the result was naturally a conflict.
In the Land of Exile, killing people was not a big deal, let alone outside the camp. No one would care. Instead, it was treated as a good show by others. The premise was that it did not affect others. Otherwise, the consequences would be even worse.
Not long after, several people were killed because of the conflict. Their blood splattered everywhere. After they were killed, their spatial rings naturally became the spoils of war for others.
Chu Mu retracted his gaze. Actually, with his strength, he could easily snatch the first spot on any of the seven altars. After all, the most powerful person in the queue was only a peak six-star Saint. Even if it was a peak seven-star Saint, Chu Mu still had the ability to snatch it. However, he didn't plan to do so.
Being too ostentatious and eye-catching was not the original intention of Chu Mu.
Chu Mu took out ten Black Iron Cores and handed them to a Seven Star Saint.
"Not bad. You are also very wise. Wait a moment. After he finishes his sacrifice, it will be your turn." After receiving the Heart of Black Iron, the Seven-star Martial Sage smiled at Chu Mu. His attitude was still acceptable.
Chu Mu nodded and stared at the person on the altar.
This person had been standing at the center of the altar. He had taken out a hundred Blacksteel Hearts and placed them around the altar in order. After placing them down, the scattered Blacksteel Hearts seemed to be moved by an invisible force, and became disorderly and orderly.
Following that, the secret runes on the altar activated and emitted traces of light, piercing through the hundred Black Iron Cores and wrapping them up. Chu Mu was shocked. He knew how hard the Black Iron Cores were, but they were pierced so easily. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the power of the light on the altar was.
After the hundred Black Iron Cores were wrapped up, they seemed to be melting. After an hour, the hundred Black Iron Cores seemed to have completely melted. They turned into black streams of light and flew into the sky, rapidly flying towards the Black God Great Sword.
In the blink of an eye, the hundred Black Iron Cores turned into black lights and shot towards the Black God Great Sword. They instantly entered the great sword and disappeared.
The Black God Great Sword seemed to tremble, but it was very subtle and hard to detect. After that, it became silent and there was no more movement.
However, the person standing on the altar raised his head and looked at the Black God Great Sword. He quietly waited. He had already sacrificed once. This was the second time, so he knew the process of the sacrifice.
After about an hour, the Black God Great Sword seemed to tremble again. A faint silver light shot out from the Black God Great Sword in an instant. It was as straight as an unsheathed sword and shot down. Its target was the person standing on the altar.
The faint silver sword light made people feel its terrifying sharpness from afar. It was as if it could pierce through the void. No one doubted its power. However, the person didn't have any intention of dodging. Instead, his eyes revealed joy and excitement.
A faint silver sword light shot out and pierced through the man's forehead before sinking into his body. The man's body trembled uncontrollably and his eyes seemed to be surrounded by a faint silver light.
Traces of sharp aura rose from this person's body, gradually becoming stronger and stronger.
Chu Mu had been observing. He was sure that he didn't miss any details. However, he didn't gain anything.
From the moment he saw the Black God Great Sword, Chu Mu's main focus was on it. He carefully observed it, but he didn't see anything special about it. This could only mean that the Black God Great Sword exceeded Chu Mu's level by too much.
However, this was also because the time he had to observe it was too short. If he had enough time, he might be able to see something.
Besides observing, Chu Mu also planned to personally experience the feeling of receiving a reward from the sacrifice. Perhaps, it would be more direct.
About an hour later, the sharp aura on that person's body was withdrawn. His eyes, which had been closed for an unknown period of time, opened once again. His eyes were filled with excitement.
He quickly pulled out his sword and stabbed it out. Under the concentrated strength, a faint silver light flashed from the sword. However, it was extinguished in an instant.
That was second grade sword force. Although it was only for a moment, it was because the person wasn't familiar with it yet.
"Haha, I finally have second grade sword force." The person laughed and jumped off the altar. He quickly went to the side to practice second grade sword force. He wanted to master it as soon as possible.
Mastering second grade sword force was naturally more difficult than first grade sword force. However, with first grade sword force as a foundation, it wouldn't be too difficult.
"Alright, it's your turn now." Towards this phenomenon, those seven star saints had seen it countless times, so they casually spoke to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded. He jumped and landed on the altar. He didn't rush to take out the Heart of Black Iron. Instead, he first observed the various patterns on the altar.
The crisscrossing patterns seemed chaotic, but they actually contained mysteries. Chu Mu only felt that the more he looked, the more mysterious they became. Their mysteries were endless, yet he was unable to comprehend anything. This feeling was very strange and a bit awkward.
After looking for about fifteen minutes, Chu Mu couldn't understand anything. He gave up temporarily. Even with his powerful memory, he couldn't remember these patterns. They were too complicated.
He took out ten Heart of Black Iron.
"It's actually a rookie." The Seven Star Saints nearby laughed when they saw this.
The rookie here was someone who hadn't mastered sword force yet.
Not long after, the ten Heart of Black Iron were enveloped by the altar's light. They melted and turned into a ray of black iron light that shot towards the Dark Deity Great Sword. After a while, the faint silver light left the Dark Deity Great Sword and shot towards Chu Mu.
In Chu Mu's eyes, the faint silver light was like a peerless expert stabbing at him. It gave him a feeling that he couldn't dodge it.
Of course, if Chu Mu wanted to, he could also dodge it. However, he didn't.
In an instant, the faint silver light shot into Chu Mu's forehead. Chu Mu carefully felt the feeling of the sword force entering his body. It quickly circled around his body and was about to enter his body. However, it suddenly came into contact with the sword force that he already had.
Chu Mu's sword force had reached the peak of Level 9. However, the sword force that entered was only Level 1. The difference between the two was immeasurable.
The moment the sword force entered, it retreated. Finally, it left Chu Mu's forehead and returned to the Dark Deity Great Sword.
"What's going on?" Those who saw it all revealed astonished expressions one after another.
Generally speaking, after the sword force entered the body, it would settle down in the person's body and gradually allow the person to master it.
It was extremely rare for the sword force to leave after entering the body.
"It seems that this person has already mastered Level 1 sword force. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this." Someone immediately said. It was an Eight Star Saint. He had seen a record of this before and thought of a similar situation.
"Maybe this person isn't suitable for sword force." Someone else said. After all, there were always exceptions. It was normal for some people not to be suitable for sword force. These kinds of cultivators had very low status in the Land of Exile.
Chu Mu faintly creased his brows. He didn't really understand this situation, but after the sword energy entered his body and circled around it, it gave him an indescribable feeling. It was very, very faint.
Soon after, Chu Mu took out another hundred Black Iron Hearts and put them down. He planned on trying again.
After a period of time, the hundred Black Iron Hearts were also melted, transforming into a black ray of light that soared into the sky and entered the Black God Enormous Sword. Following that, a faint silver ray of light, the second rank sword energy, shot into the center of Chu Mu's eyebrows. After rapidly circling once, it left Chu Mu's forehead and returned to the Black God Enormous Sword just like the first time.
At this moment, the indescribable feeling was even clearer.
Then, Chu Mu took out another thousand Black Iron Hearts and placed them down.
"This guy is actually so rich." When the Seven-star Saints and the others saw this, they were shocked. A low-level Four Star Saint was definitely at the bottom of the food chain in the Land of Exile. Yet, he was able to take out more than a thousand Black Iron Cores. This kind of wealth was much greater than other Four Star Saints.
