"Young Lord, the news is clear. Chu Mu has entered the War Hall and rented a silver-grade cultivation room for a year." Ying Wei stood beside Lin Ziqi and reported in a solemn voice.
"One year, it seems like he's planning to use this one year to raise his cultivation." Lin Ziqi sneered, "Ying Wei, order people to keep an eye on him. The moment he leaves Bloodbath City, kill him immediately."
"Yes, Young Lord." Killing intent flickered in Ying Wei's eyes.
Recalling how he had felt fear when facing Huang Xiaolong's killing intent, Ying Wei was furious. He had to kill Huang Xiaolong.
After Ying Wei calmed down, he thought that Huang Xiaolong had killed a lot of people, hence his killing intent. However, a strong killing intent didn't mean that Huang Xiaolong was stronger than him. After all, he was an eight-star Saint Realm expert.
A dignified Eight Star Saint Realm expert was actually frightened by a Five Star Saint Realm.
Shameful, this was too shameful.
Of course, to be safe, Ying Wei wasn't alone this time. There was another eight-star Saint Realm expert. With the two of them working together, nothing would go wrong. Now, all they had to do was wait for Chu Mu to leave Bloodbath City.
However, even if Chu Mu came out from the War Hall, he wouldn't leave Bloodbath City so soon. Who knows, he might stay in Bloodbath City for years.
Other than Ying Wei and the others, other people like Fei Yang and the Waning Moon Sword Saint also knew that Chu Mu had entered the War Hall and rented a silver-grade cultivation room for a year.
That was one hundred Silver Hearts ah, a huge amount of wealth. This made them even more tempted.
However, no one dared to cause trouble in the War Hall. They could only wait for Chu Mu to leave before thinking of a way to lure him out of Bloodbath City.
"Brother Chu has entered the War Hall?" Long Yunkong and the others also knew about Chu Mu's movements. After the auction ended, they could easily find out about Chu Mu's whereabouts and other news.
"Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant, Spirit Boosting Pill, and the War Hall … I wonder what level Brother Chu's cultivation will reach in one year."
"There should be at least Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Aeon."
"Brother Chu at the Sixth Celestial Layer of the Aeon …"
Everyone fell silent.
The Sixth Celestial Layer of the Aeon was only a mid-level Saint. To them, it was nothing. However, there was a monstrous genius, a monstrous cultivator. He was weaker than them, but he was much stronger than them.
"Now, many people have their eyes on Brother Chu. They're just waiting for him to leave Bloodbath City."
"There's no need to worry. Those people are all only eight star Martial Saints."
An Eight-Star Martial Saint was a powerhouse that they couldn't contend with at the moment. However, it was hard to say for Chu Mu in a year's time.
One had to know that Chu Mu, who was at the early Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Wangu Realm, was able to kill Luo Zhongxu, who was at the early Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Wangu Realm. On the other hand, Luo Zhongxu's strength was close to the middle Eighth Heavenly Layer.
The early Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Wangu Realm and the early Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Wangu Realm were both in the middle Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Wangu Realm.
"I'm looking forward to seeing Brother Chu's strength in a year's time."
"Me too." Long Yunkong and the others looked at each other and smiled. Then, they left. They also needed to cultivate so that they wouldn't fall behind too much. That would be embarrassing.
…
In the War Hall, there was a silver-ranked cultivation room. The entire room was filled with white energy. Wisps of white energy flowed from all directions towards the center of the room.
That was Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. It was rich and pure.
The effect of the Spiritual Boosting Pill was beyond imagination. It had an extraordinary ability to sense and absorb Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
Wave after wave of pure Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi flowed from all directions. It was like a river flowing backwards. It flowed into Chu Mu's pores and entered his body.
The Dragon Swallowing Jade Pendant's mouth was filled with white energy. It had reached its limit and was breathing in and out.
Wisps of pure Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi were transformed by the Dragon Swallowing Jade Pendant. They approached the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence and entered Chu Mu's body. They flowed through his meridians and turned into Divine Wilderness Sword Essence. They entered his Dantian and slowly filled it up.
Every Heavenly Layer, from the early stage to the peak stage, was the accumulation of Sword Essence. It was only when the accumulation reached the limit that one would consider the advancement and breakthrough of the cultivation level.
Chu Mu's cultivation level was very high. It was enough to support his cultivation level to the peak of the Nine Star Saint Grade. Therefore, what he lacked was the accumulation of Sword Essence. As long as he had enough Sword Essence, his cultivation level would increase without any obvious bottlenecks. This was something that other cultivators could not compare to.
In fact, one of the differences between a genius and an ordinary cultivator was the breakthrough of cultivation level.
For an ordinary cultivator, every Heavenly Layer required a lot of time to comprehend. Some might even be stuck for decades or even centuries. Some might not even be able to break through in their lifetime because of the limitations of their talent.
For a genius, the comprehension of cultivation level was not that difficult. The more talented a cultivator was, the easier it was for them to advance their cultivation level. For a monstrous genius like Chu Mu, the Eternal Realm was not that big of an obstacle for him. It was easy for him to advance to the peak.
The real difficulty was to advance between the major levels. For example, the Nirvana Realm and the Eternal Realm, the Eternal Realm and the peerless experts.
For the monstrous geniuses from the Six Great Stars, their realms were not much of an obstacle to them. Therefore, they were able to reach the level of a Seven Star Saint at such a young age. Moreover, they had unimaginable strength.
However, the amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi required to advance from the early First Heavenly Layer to the peak Ninth Heavenly Layer was too much. Moreover, as a monstrous genius, which Yuan Qi was not different from an ordinary cultivator? The amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi required was at least two times, three times, four times, or five times more.
For example, Chu Mu, because his Dantian had become ten times larger after the mutation, the amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi he required was also ten times more than an ordinary cultivator.
Ten times was an incomparably huge amount, which limited Chu Mu's rapid advancement. Every advancement was extremely difficult for him.
After a month, the energy of the Spiritual Enhancing Pill was depleted. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the surroundings had lost its attraction and was about to disperse.
Chu Mu hurriedly took out a second Spiritual Enhancing Pill and consumed it. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the surroundings did not disperse before it began to condense again.
The Spiritual Enhancing Pill could increase one's Dantian by ten times, but that was only in theory. Although Chu Mu's refining speed was faster than his absorption speed, it was not as much as ten times. Altogether, it could only reach six or seven times.
Furthermore, with the Dragon Devouring Jade's automatic absorption and refinement, Chu Mu's cultivation speed was eighteen times faster than before. This was lower than in theory. After all, the theoretical increase was the best, and it had to be combined with various factors to reach the optimal level. Obviously, Chu Mu's cultivation environment and everything else was not at the optimal level. Naturally, it had to be discounted.
This was because he was cultivating twenty-four hours a day, and there was almost no time to rest. In the past, he would only cultivate for two to four hours a day.
In other words, one month of cultivation for Chu Mu was equivalent to eighteen months of cultivation. The Sword Origin in his Dantian had indeed increased a little compared to before, but it had not reached the mid-stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer, but it was very close.
Before the second month was over, Chu Mu's cultivation base had successfully broken through a small realm, reaching the mid-stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer.
In just two days, Chu Mu had consolidated his cultivation base and continued to improve.
In the fourth month, Chu Mu's cultivation base had reached the late-stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer.
In the sixth month, Chu Mu's cultivation base had reached the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer. The speed of his improvement was faster than he had expected.
However, even though Chu Mu did not have any bottlenecks, the amount of energy he needed to break through was ten times that of an ordinary cultivator. Therefore, the amount of energy he needed to break through from the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer to the Sixth Heavenly Layer was frightening.
In the seventh month, Chu Mu was still accumulating energy.
In the eighth month, he was still accumulating energy.
In the ninth month, Chu Mu's accumulation had reached its peak.
As his cultivation base increased, the speed at which he absorbed and refined the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth increased correspondingly. It was much faster than when he had first entered the cultivation room.
"Break through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer!" Chu Mu made up his mind and began to break through the bottleneck.
The powerful Divine Wilderness Sword Origin rippled within his body, releasing a roar that sounded like the roar of a primordial beast. It was like a tsunami, with huge waves crashing unceasingly.
His blood boiled and his bones crackled.
A powerful aura rose from Chu Mu's body, gradually growing stronger. It stirred the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth in the surroundings, forming a whirlpool that spun around.
A rumbling sound rang out in the cultivation room. The entire cultivation room seemed to be trembling.
This power was not at all comparable to the breakthrough from the Fifth Heavenly Layer to the Sixth Heavenly Layer. In fact, it was even stronger than the breakthrough from the mid-level to the high-level Sacred Realm.
One day … Two days … Three days …
Chu Mu constantly mobilized the Sword Origin in his body to break through.
After three days, he felt as if he had broken through the shackles. The Divine Wilderness Sword Origin started to boil and it started to grow rapidly. The surrounding Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth was instantly absorbed into Chu Mu's body.
More Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth whizzed over and gathered around Chu Mu's body, binding him once again.
A powerful aura surged and surged. This was the aura of an early Sixth Heavenly Layer. Chu Mu had finally broken through.
"There are still two months left. I should consolidate my cultivation base first before trying my best to break through." Chu Mu thought to himself.
It was definitely harder to break through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer than the Fifth Heavenly Layer. Therefore, Chu Mu did not know how far he could break through. He had to try his best.
