Sword Light blazed as he swung his hand. Wind and thunder roared as the space beneath his sword turned into a vacuum. The surrounding air whistled as it flowed backwards.
In reality, Chu Mu didn't use too much strength. However, every strike contained two types of true intents. Moreover, he used the technique of combining sword origin and physical strength to perfectly combine them into an even more tyrannical force.
After practicing and sparring with Lin Biruo time and time again, Chu Mu had already familiarized himself with the technique and was able to use it freely.
"My current attack power is enough to double compared to before." Chu Mu thought to himself.
For a sword cultivator, attack power was equivalent to strength.
Silently calculating, Chu Mu felt that the current him, under the circumstances of not using any secret techniques, should be able to contend against a normal eight star saint peak stage sword saint. If he used a few trump cards, even if he wasn't a nine star saint initial stage opponent, he should be able to contend against one or two and escape from the opponent's sword.
When he first entered the land of exile, he could only defeat a peak seven-star Saint. Now, he could escape from a low-tier nine-star Saint. Chu Mu's increase in strength was not small.
However, Chu Mu felt that it was still too slow.
"Cultivation is my greatest restriction right now," Chu Mu thought to himself.
This was a restriction, but there was no good way to overcome it at the moment.
… …
Half a year had passed since Chu Mu returned to Bloodbath City. Long Yunkong, Yue Zhen, and the others had also returned.
Long Yunkong brought Yue Zhen, Mu Gaoli, and Xu Qingya to the manor. When Chu Mu saw them, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. Clearly, the reward for reclaiming the sinner's cave and reporting it to the sect was great.
However, when they saw Chu Mu, their eyes widened and their faces were filled with shock.
"Brother Chu … your cultivation …"
"I refined the Bronze Blood Dragon Root," Chu Mu said.
Hearing Chu Mu's words, everyone's expression returned to normal.
After refining the Bronze-Blood Dragon Root, it could raise a mid-level Saint's cultivation by one major heavenly layer. Thus, it wasn't strange for Chu Mu to reach the early fifth heavenly layer from the early fourth heavenly layer.
"No, Brother Chu, I haven't told you how to neutralize the Bronze Blood Dragon Root." Long Yunkong's face changed as he thought of something.
When the other three heard Long Yunkong's words, their faces also changed.
The power of the Bronze Blood Dragon Root was extremely violent. Even if a high-level Saint wanted to refine it, they would need to use some neutralizing spiritual herbs. Otherwise, they might suffer great injuries or even explode. Only some experts with extremely strong Saint bodies could forcibly refine it without the help of any neutralizing spiritual herbs.
Chu Mu, on the other hand, was only at the early fourth Heavenly Layer of the Primordial Realm back then. He had actually managed to refine the Bronze Blood Dragon Root without the help of any spirit herbs.
This was simply too shocking.
"Brother Chu, you already know how to neutralize the Bronze Blood Dragon Root, right?" Long Yunkong asked.
"No, but the situation was a little complicated, so I had to forcibly refine it." Chu Mu smiled. "Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see me."
When Long Yunkong and the others had just returned, the discussions about Chu Mu had already died down. Thus, they didn't know what had happened while they were in the sinner's cavern. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so surprised.
"Fine. Brother Chu is simply trying to topple the concept of cultivation. In the future, no matter what inconceivable things happen to him, I won't be surprised anymore." Mu Gaoli laughed. The others also laughed.
"Xu Qingya, thank you for the black market token." Chu Mu took out the token and returned it to Xu Qingya.
"You're welcome." Xu Qingya said softly and put away the token.
"Everyone, how do you feel after entering the third layer of the sinner's cavern?" Chu Mu asked.
"Very intense."
"Very shocking."
Everyone answered.
Then, from their simple explanations, Chu Mu knew what had happened.
When they first entered the sinner's cavern, they had to be careful because they weren't powerful enough. Therefore, they didn't wake up the sleeping sinners. But this time, the Butcher Blood House was the main force, and the Three Saint Sects and the Blood Sword Sect were the support.
"This time, the three forces have dispatched a total of 120 Nine Star Saint Realm experts. Among them, the Slaughtering Blood Manor has dispatched 50, while the Three Sacred Sects and the Blood Sword Sect have dispatched 35 each. The weakest among them is a Nine Star Saint Realm expert." Long Yunkong said, "One hundred and twenty Nine Star Saints led by a Bright Moon Sword Saint and two Dark Star Sword Saints led the four of us. They killed their way into the third layer of the sinner's cavern."
"There were a lot of Silver Sinners on the third layer. The most powerful one was even more powerful than the two Dark Star Sword Saints. However, under the sword of the Bright Moon Sword Saint, they were no match at all. They were killed in the end." Mu Gaoli said excitedly.
Seeing an expert attack with their own eyes, the feeling was indescribable. It would be a great help to their future cultivation.
"Dark Star? Bright Moon Sword? "Chu Mu was confused.
"Brother Chu came from the outside world, so there are some things that he doesn't know." Yue Zhen explained.
The cultivation system of the Land of Exile was brought by the cultivators of the Deep Blue World. Due to the differences between the Land of Exile and the Land of Exile, there were some differences between the Land of Exile and the Deep Blue World after many years of development.
The Eternal Realm cultivators were also called Saint Realm experts. The peak of the Eternal Realm was naturally the peak of the Nine Star Saint Realm.
Without a certain amount of talent, it was impossible to reach the Eternal Realm. The Eternal Realm was divided into low, middle, and high levels. The breakthrough of each level required sufficient talent.
Therefore, those who could become high level Saint Realm experts were all geniuses.
However, there would always be someone stronger than the strong. There was always a taller mountain. Amongst the geniuses, there were also different levels. When these geniuses of different levels were at the same cultivation level, there would be a clear difference in their strength.
The Initial One Star Saint Realm to the Peak Nine Star Saint Realm was a conventional division. It was a division of levels and also a comparison of strength.
However, when those geniuses reached the Peak Nine Star Saint Realm, due to various reasons such as the difference in their talent, there would also be differences in their strength.
In order to better differentiate the levels of the Nine Star Saint Realm experts, the cultivation system defined new levels.
The Dark Star Level, Bright Moon Level, and the highest level was the Bright Sun Level.
These three levels were no longer the cultivation levels of the Saint Realm experts, but the actual levels of strength.
A Dark Star Saint Realm expert could kill an ordinary Peak Nine Star Saint Realm expert within three moves.
It should be known that any cultivator who could become a Peak Nine Star Saint Realm expert had great talent. They were originally the true geniuses. Every one of them was the kind that could fight across levels.
Killing a Dark Star Saint Realm expert within three moves showed the strength of a Dark Star Saint Realm expert.
However, there were very few Saint Realm experts that were above the Nine Star Saint Realm and below the Exceptional Realm. There weren't many of them in the Land of Exile. Although the ratio of Saint Realm experts in the Deep Blue World was far less than in the Land of Exile, the number of cultivators in the Deep Blue World was many times greater.
Therefore, there were naturally Saint Realm experts that were stronger than ordinary Peak Nine Star Saint Realm experts in the Deep Blue World. However, there wasn't a division of levels like in the Land of Exile.
Yue Zhen's explanation immediately made Chu Mu understand.
These three levels were the division of strength. Only powerful geniuses could reach these levels.
Simply put, only the monstrous geniuses of the Six Star Realms could reach the Bright Sun Level. The geniuses of the First Array could reach the Dark Star Level. The powerful ones could reach the Bright Moon Level. As for the geniuses of the Second Array, they could reach the Dark Star Level.
In the entire Land of Exile, only the powerful forces had Bright Moon Sword Saints. As for whether the Five Great City Lord Mansions had Bright Sun Sword Saints, no one knew. In fact, even if they did, there would only be one Sword Saint in each Mansion.
"These three levels are still too far away from us. I don't even know if I can reach the Dark Star Level." Long Yunkong smiled bitterly.
He was listed as a genius of the Second Array in the Land of Exile and could be ranked in the top three. In theory, he had the chance to become a Dark Star Sword Saint. However, whether he could do it in the end was still unknown. As for Yue Zhen, Xu Qingya, and Mu Gaoli, their chances might be even lower than Long Yunkong's.
"I think that Brother Chu has a 90% chance of becoming a Bright Sun Sword Saint," Mu Gaoli said.
A Bright Sun Sword Saint was the existence closest to the Seven Kings.
"That's a matter for the future." Chu Mu smiled and said, "Everyone, I have something to ask. Do you know where I can increase my cultivation quickly without any side effects?"
"Brother Chu, I can see that your cultivation speed is already not slow. If it continues, how can others live?" Mu Gaoli smiled and said.
"Because of some reasons, I have to increase my strength as much as possible in a short period of time. Right now, my cultivation is a hindrance," Chu Mu said.
"Increase your cultivation quickly?" Long Yunkong and the other three fell into deep thought.
In fact, which cultivator wouldn't be tempted by the idea of increasing their cultivation quickly without any side effects?
After so many years, many places in the Land of Exile had been developed and resources were consumed. It was extremely rare to find a place that could increase one's cultivation quickly without any side effects. There were some places, but they were all controlled by powerful forces. Moreover, most of them were one-time use and couldn't increase one's cultivation by much.
"Oh, right." Long Yunkong's eyes suddenly lit up. Yue Zhen and the other two seemed to have thought of something at the same time. They all looked at Chu Mu with excitement.
