In his mind, there was only one sword shadow left. As the light flowed, it seemed to have transformed into a real sword.
There seemed to be talismans condensed within the real sword. The talismans were embedded in the real sword and were one with the real sword, inseparable.
It could be said that this True Sword was constructed from countless Sword Dao talismans.
An indescribable and indescribable power flowed around the True Sword, pulsing in and out.
Chu Mu's eyes opened. An indescribable sharp light shot out and entered the Onyx Great Sword. As if it could sense it, the Onyx Great Sword trembled.
In that instant, Chu Mu had the illusion that he could control the Onyx Great Sword.
Illusion, after all, it was an illusion.
However, controlling the Onyx Great Sword was not Chu Mu's goal. He did not know what kind of existence this thing was. Naturally, he would not touch it easily.
"Sword intent!" He muttered in a low voice. In his tone, there was an unimaginable surprise.
Chu Mu completely didn't expect that in the Black God Enormous Sword, he would be able to comprehend a realm that he had heard of before but had never been able to touch. It was a higher level of sword strength, a strength that belonged to the same lineage as sword strength but was above sword strength.
Sword intent!
This was the power of the sword itself. It was the sword's will.
Once he grasped the sword intent, Chu Mu felt that the various sword intents that he had grasped before seemed to have a backbone.
That feeling was like an army that had an excellent commander. It was no longer a plate of loose sand.
"So that's how it is. In the ancient sword path, the sword intent is the foundation of all true intents." Chu Mu was enlightened.
Sword intent was the essence of the ancient sword path. It had been lost until now. To be able to comprehend it, it was a great opportunity. It was also due to his own high perception.
However, he had comprehended the True Intent of Stab, followed by the True Intent of Slash, True Intent of Defense, True Intent of Qi, and True Intent of Quake. The only thing he had yet to comprehend was the True Intent of Sword.
Therefore, the five true intents that he had comprehended were not related to each other and could not coexist.
But now, he had grasped the true intent of the sword. This was the foundation, the commander, the central hub. It was possible for him to control all other true intents.
However, that was the future. Today, Chu Mu had just started.
"This is the essence of the Ancient Sword Dao. The so-called comprehension of concepts, profundities, and laws is but a detour."
Yes, it was only now that Chu Mu realized that a true sword cultivator should walk on the Ancient Sword Dao. However, the loss of the Ancient Sword Dao caused the path of sword cultivators to become different. They walked on another path and deviated from the original Sword Dao.
Who was stronger and who was weaker?
It was hard to say, but Chu Mu now had a judgment and a choice.
After comprehending the true intent, one would be able to embark on the path of the Ancient Sword Dao.
While he was immersed in joy, the battle between Zi Jian and the one-eyed old man had reached its climax in the outside world.
As the battle progressed, the one-eyed old man gradually discovered something. Zi Jian's Soul-ignition secret technique was burning herself. It slowly faded and her power weakened bit by bit, allowing the one-eyed old man to gradually regain the upper hand.
After understanding this, the one-eyed old man began to change his method of battle. He no longer used powerful sword techniques in an attempt to suppress Zi Jian. Instead, he stalled for time, exhausting her power as much as possible until she could no longer endure the backlash of the secret technique. At that time, he would naturally win.
As he exhausted Zi Jian's power, he paid attention to Chu Mu's movements. As soon as Chu Mu walked out of the altar, he would use his ultimate move to kill him.
Even if he could cultivate in the altar, who knew how many years it would take for him to possess the strength to contend against the one-eyed old man under such circumstances. Moreover, the one-eyed old man was not standing still. As time passed, he would cultivate and comprehend more and more, becoming more and more powerful.
When Chu Mu woke up and saw this, he immediately understood the one-eyed old man's plan.
He glanced at Zi Jian and discovered that her body was slightly more transparent than before. She seemed to be able to last a little longer.
"Grasping the True Intent of the Sword can increase the power of the sword by a hundred times," Chu Mu thought as he silently calculated his strength after grasping the True Intent of the Sword.
First level sword force could increase the power of the sword by two times, second level sword force could increase it by three times, and so on. Ninth level sword force could increase it by ten times, while the True Intent of the Sword, which was above sword force, could increase it by a hundred times.
The difference between ten times and a hundred times was ten times. This was the difference between sword force and True Intent of the Sword.
Theoretically speaking, a hundred times was equivalent to an entire world of difference.
Originally, when Chu Mu did not use the Silver God Equipment, Divine Wilderness Origin Returning Secret Technique, Sword God's Descent Secret Technique, Demon Fighter Vambrace, and Sword Domain, his strength could barely contend against an ordinary beginner eight-star Saint. He would be at a disadvantage, but with his tenacity and superb sword skills, he could still hold on for a while.
Now that he had grasped the True Intent of the Sword, he estimated that he could defeat or even kill an ordinary beginner eight-star Saint and contend against an intermediate eight-star Saint without using any of his trump cards.
There was a threshold between beginner and intermediate Saint-level experts, and another threshold between intermediate and advanced Saint-level experts.
Theoretically, the difference was the same, but there were many factors that affected it. Unknowingly, the difference was even greater.
Chu Mu was only a intermediate Saint-level expert, and he was at the bottom of the intermediate Saint-level. The difference between him and an advanced Saint-level expert was too great. Therefore, his obvious improvement was not very obvious to an advanced Saint-level expert.
"With my current strength, if I use all my trump cards, I can defeat or even kill an ordinary advanced eight-star Saint. To a certain extent, I can contend against a peak eight-star Saint. However, there is still a huge gap between me and a nine-star Saint."
The gap between a peak eight-star Saint and a beginner nine-star Saint was much greater than the gap between a peak seven-star Saint and an eight-star Saint.
"If I can break through to the Fifth Sky of the Aeon, my strength will definitely improve. At that time, when I use all my trump cards …" Chu Mu's eyes flashed with a trace of determination.
If this continued, Purple Sword could only delay the one-eyed old man, but could not kill him.
Moreover, it seemed like the one-eyed old man was still paying attention to Huang Xiaolong while fighting Purple Sword. This meant that if Huang Xiaolong planned to use Purple Sword to delay the one-eyed old man and leave the altar, he would very likely be attacked by the one-eyed old man.
With his current strength, there was no way he could withstand the one-eyed old man's attack.
Moreover, there was Lin Biruo.
If Huang Xiaolong ignored her, she would definitely be killed by the one-eyed old man.
"If I have the cultivation of the Fifth Sky of the Aeon, even if I can't defeat the one-eyed old man, I have a better chance of escaping." Chu Mu thought. "If I'm in time, I can even join forces with Purple Sword to kill him."
If the one-eyed old man wanted to kill him, with Chu Mu's personality, he would not let it go so easily. If there was a chance, he would definitely kill the old man.
Now, there was a chance to see if he could grasp it.
After making his decision, a spiritual herb appeared in Chu Mu's hand — the Bronze Blood Dragon Root!
He had decided to refine the Bronze Blood Dragon Root and raise his cultivation to a whole new level.
According to Long Yunkong, the power of the Bronze Blood Dragon Root was extremely violent. He had to use other spiritual herbs to neutralize its effects. Otherwise, it would be difficult for his body to withstand it. If his body was not strong enough, not only would he be injured, but he might even die.
"With my Fifth Level Saint Body and super self-healing ability, I should be able to withstand it." Chu Mu thought.
The current situation was not up to him. His chances of escaping were slim. It was not his style to stay on the altar.
Breaking through was a must.
A fifth level sacred body allowed Chu Mu's teeth to easily chew through even refined steel. Under his great strength, he bit through the Bronze Blood Dragon Root, chewed it, and swallowed it into his stomach bite by bite.
The taste of the Bronze Blood Dragon Root was not very good. It had a metallic taste and was hard to swallow. However, for the sake of increasing his strength, Chu Mu had to endure it.
In just a few breaths, the entire Bronze Blood Dragon Root had been swallowed by Chu Mu.
The berserk energy immediately exploded in his stomach. With a bang, Chu Mu felt as if his five viscera and six bowels were being attacked, as if they were about to explode. An indescribable pain spread throughout his body.
He could clearly see that his internal organs had cracked under the impact of the power.
Fortunately, his Fifth Level Saint Body was strong enough. Otherwise, the impact of the violent power would have been enough to destroy his internal organs.
The Wood Phase Origin in his heart instantly emitted a rich vitality that wrapped around his internal organs. Combined with his self-healing ability, his internal organs healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, the violent impact of the force was endless. It spread throughout his limbs and bones, as if it was everywhere.
Chu Mu felt as if the bones, tendons, and muscles in his body were being torn apart and almost shattered. Fortunately, his strong self-healing ability, combined with the vitality of the Wood Phase Origin, allowed his injuries to heal quickly. Only then was he able to hold on and form a stalemate.
Although Chu Mu's Sacred Body was a Fifth Level Saint Body, the self-healing ability of his Sacred Body was comparable to a Sixth Level Saint Body. Combined with the vitality of the Wood Phase Origin, the self-healing ability was comparable to a Seventh Level Saint Body.
The self-healing ability and the violent impact force were in a stalemate. Chu Mu's Sacred Body was damaged and healed again and again.
"Begin refining!"
This situation allowed Chu Mu to heave a sigh of relief. At least his Sacred Body was able to hold on and was not destroyed in an instant. He quickly mobilized the Divine Wilderness Sword Origin in his body. Like a peerless divine sword, he cut into the violent impact force and separated a small portion. He wrapped it up and moved it along his meridians. As he moved it, he slowly refined it and turned it into the Divine Wilderness Sword Origin.
