There were only 12 dark gold altars under the Obsidian Giant Sword. Five of them were occupied by some powerful people. If one wanted to use them, one had to pay 10 Black Iron Hearts as a fee. The other seven were public. There was no additional fee, but one had to wait in line.
No matter how powerful a force was, they wouldn't dare to occupy all 12 altars. That would incur the wrath of the public. If they left seven altars, more than half of them would be left behind. Those powerful forces wouldn't deliberately provoke them. Only in this way could they live in peace.
Every time a sacrifice was made, it would take about three hours from the moment the sinner's heart was placed down to the moment the sword force returned. According to the calculation of one sacrifice every three hours, there were only eight chances to make a sacrifice in 24 hours a day.
Looking at those waiting in line, there were at least 200 altars. According to the calculation of eight altars a day, it would take at least 20 days to finish.
Not everyone was willing to wait for more than twenty days in one go.
Chu Mu naturally didn't want to wait that long. Of course, he didn't want to expose his strength and attract the attention of others. Therefore, he chose to pay 10 Black Iron Hearts as a fee to use the dark gold altars immediately.
But now, those Seven-star Saints were a little dissatisfied. Chu Mu had already made three sacrifices, which was four hours and a half. This was equivalent to three people using the altars, but Chu Mu only paid 10 Black Iron Hearts.
But for a moment, they didn't say anything. Because there weren't such rules before. No one had made two or even three sacrifices in a row.
Usually, after making a sacrifice, one would obtain sword force and familiarize themselves with it for a period of time before making a second sacrifice.
"Could it be that this person has mastered level three sword force?"
"Impossible, he's only a beginner Four-star Saint."
Indeed, how could a beginner Four-star Saint be able to master level three sword force? Only those peerless geniuses with unparalleled talent in swordsmanship could achieve that.
Could this person in front of them be a peerless genius in swordsmanship? That's impossible. If he was, why would he come here in such a shabby group shuttle?
Then, they saw Chu Mu take out another sinner's heart. This time, it was shining with a bronze light.
"Bronze Heart!" The people who saw it couldn't help but tremble. Their eyes shone with an intense light, extremely shocked.
It was already shocking enough that a four star Martial Saint could take out more than a thousand Black Iron Hearts. Now, he actually took out ten Bronze Hearts.
One had to know that a single Bronze Heart could be exchanged for ten thousand Black Iron Hearts. Ten Bronze Hearts were equivalent to a hundred thousand Black Iron Hearts. Compared to ten Bronze Hearts, the thousand Black Iron Hearts that Chu Mu had taken out before were nothing.
"This guy is actually so rich."
"Judging from his calm expression after taking out ten Bronze Hearts, I'm guessing there are more than ten of them."
"He's only a Four Star Martial Saint, but he actually possesses such shocking wealth. He's really a fat sheep."
Among the crowd, two people were secretly discussing. They stared at Chu Mu with eyes full of greed and savagery. Unknowingly, Chu Mu had become the center of attention. Although he didn't want to be in the limelight, he had unknowingly become the center of attention.
The ten Bronze Hearts were also melted by the power of the altar. They turned into a bronze light and shot into the Onyx God Huge Sword.
Not long after, a silver sword light shot out from the Onyx God Huge Sword and shot towards Chu Mu. It was as if it wanted to pierce through Chu Mu. In an instant, it disappeared between Chu Mu's eyebrows.
This sword light was a fourth level sword force. After it circled around Chu Mu's body and came into contact with Chu Mu's ninth level sword force, it left between Chu Mu's eyebrows and returned to the Onyx God Huge Sword. The inexplicable feeling in Chu Mu's heart deepened.
"The sword force left again?"
"Could this kid have mastered a fourth level sword force?"
"Are you kidding me? How could he have mastered a fourth level sword force? He must have a physique that can't activate sword force. How sad. He wasted so many Sinner's Hearts."
Many people looked at Chu Mu with pity and regret.
Ten Bronze Hearts and more than a thousand Black Iron Hearts. Such a great fortune had been wasted just like that. The Onyx God Huge Sword wouldn't return to you just because you couldn't obtain sword force.
Then, their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. They saw that the four-star beginner level Martial Saint actually took out another Bronze Heart. This time, there were a total of one hundred Bronze Hearts.
A hundred Bronze Hearts. To many mid-level Martial Saints, it was a fortune that they could only dream of. To many seven-star and eight-star Martial Saints, it was still a great fortune. It was enough to tempt them.
Even the seven-star Martial Saints who had occupied the altar revealed a greedy look in their eyes.
Although they had occupied the altar and set the rules, it didn't mean that they had to follow the rules to a certain extent. When the benefits were great enough, it wasn't strange that even blood brothers would turn against each other.
At this moment, the strength that Chu Mu had displayed was not proportional to the wealth that he had displayed.
One must know that the more wealth one had, the more powerful one had to be to protect it. Otherwise, one would be a fat sheep in the eyes of others. Obviously, Chu Mu was a fat sheep in many people's eyes. The fat, fat kind.
Chu Mu didn't care about it. Or rather, he didn't notice that his mind was completely attracted by the Onyx God Huge Sword. He couldn't tolerate anything else.
Standing on the altar, he was protected by the altar's power. External forces, even the full-force attack of a nine-star Martial Saint, wouldn't be able to shake it.
Now, Chu Mu was very safe.
The one hundred bronze hearts were also pierced through by the power of the altar. They were wrapped up and turned into pure energy. Then, they condensed into a ray of bronze light that soared into the sky and shot into the Black God Greatsword, entering the Black God Greatsword.
The Onyx God Huge Sword trembled. Compared to the previous tremors, the tremors were clearer and stronger.
Then, a silver sword light shot out from the Onyx God Huge Sword. It was purer than the previous sword light. This was the Level Five Sword Energy.
This sword light was like an invisible peerless sword cultivator that was attacking Chu Mu. The sword pierced straight at him without any changes or superfluous techniques. It was just a simple stab. However, this stab gave Chu Mu a feeling that it had returned to its original state and its sharpness was restrained.
This sword was close to the level of Chu Mu's swordsmanship.
He could still dodge it, but he didn't need to.
The Level Five Sword Energy once again penetrated between Chu Mu's eyebrows and entered his body. It quickly circled around his body and came into contact with Chu Mu's Level Nine Sword Energy again.
There was a huge gap between the Level Five Sword Energy and the Level Nine Sword Energy. Therefore, the Level Five Sword Energy left Chu Mu's eyebrows once again. The inexplicable feeling that Chu Mu had was further strengthened.
"I see." Vaguely, Chu Mu seemed to have grasped something. He carefully thought about it and recalled the feeling left behind by the Level Five Sword Energy when it entered his body from the Level One Sword Energy to the Level Five Sword Energy. That feeling was actually the same. It could be said that it came from the same origin. It went from shallow to deep and gradually strengthened.
"If I could sacrifice 1,000 Bronze Hearts, that feeling would be clearer. If I could sacrifice Silver Hearts, I'm afraid that I would be able to completely understand that feeling and what it was hinting at. It wouldn't be like now where I can only make some guesses based on that feeling," Chu Mu thought to himself.
Unfortunately, although he still had Bronze Hearts, he didn't have 1,000 of them. He only had slightly more than 100. Although it was a good fortune, it wasn't enough for him to sacrifice a sixth time.
This time, the sacrifice had to stop here.
"How stupid. He actually sacrificed more than 100 Bronze Hearts and 1,000 Black Iron Hearts five times. How much wealth is that? If it was given to me, it would be enough for me to master Level Five Sword Energy."
"It's important to know one's own limitations. He knew that he couldn't master Sword Energy, but he insisted on being brave. He wasted so much wealth for nothing."
These people gritted their teeth as they spoke. It was as if they wished that those Bronze Hearts and Black Iron Hearts were theirs. They were also reprimanding Chu Mu for his stupidity.
In their opinion, Chu Mu's five sacrifices were not only useless, but also wasted a lot of wealth for nothing. It was simply extremely stupid. However, they didn't understand that although Chu Mu seemed to have wasted five chances and a lot of wealth, he actually gained something. To his gains, these losses were nothing. They were just external forces.
"That feeling is telling me that as long as I sacrifice the Black Iron, Bronze, and Silver Sinner's Hearts once, it can guide me to a breakthrough in Sword Energy." Chu Mu thought to himself. This was the conclusion he came to after recalling and comprehending. He was vaguely certain, but whether it was true or not, he still needed to verify it.
To verify it, he naturally had to pay a price. However, Chu Mu didn't have enough Bronze Hearts and didn't even have a single Silver Heart. He couldn't do it in a short period of time.
It seemed that he could only collect more Sinner's Hearts. Only when he had 1,000 Bronze Hearts and 1,110 Silver Hearts would he come back to the Dark Deity Great Sword to sacrifice. After the sacrifice, Chu Mu would definitely have an unexpected gain.
Other than that, he couldn't see any other mysteries of the Dark Deity Great Sword for the time being.
Chu Mu had no choice but to walk down from the altar. As soon as he walked down, he was surrounded by a few Seven-star Saints.
"Junior, you alone have sacrificed five times, which is equivalent to five people sacrificing. Ten Black Iron Hearts are obviously not enough." A Seven-star Saint said.
Chu Mu didn't want to argue with them. He directly took out 40 Black Iron Hearts and gave it to them.
Seeing Chu Mu take out 40 Black Iron Hearts, the pupils of these Seven-star Saints instantly shrank. In the distance, two people with fiendish expressions walked over. Their eyes were fixed on Chu Mu. The greed in their eyes was very clear, as if they wanted to eat Chu Mu.
