After returning to the manor, Chu Mu did not go out. Every day, he cultivated as usual.
He was not affected by the fame of the Unparalleled Sword Star. He did what he was supposed to do.
"There are less than nine years before the opening of the Black God Secret Land." When he was not cultivating, Chu Mu would take out the jade token he had obtained from the auction to check.
This was a jade token made by the five castellan manors. It had no other purpose other than to determine the number of people who had entered the Black God Secret Land. If it was lost or destroyed, one would lose the right to enter the Black God Secret Land.
There were many theories about what the Black God Secret Land was. None of them were convincing enough. However, one thing was for sure: the Black God Secret Land was the best place to increase one's strength.
Anyone who did not die after entering the Black God Secret Land would have their strength increased significantly after leaving.
Many people agreed with this statement. Therefore, Chu Mu was even more curious about entering the Black God Secret Realm.
"It would be great if I could get an extra slot," Chu Mu thought to himself.
He planned to let Lin Biruo enter the Black God Secret Land to increase her strength.
However, a slot was very precious. It was not easy to get one. Chu Mu could only give up on this idea.
Every day, he practiced, comprehended, and perfected his sword. Days passed.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. Long Yunkong came out of seclusion. When he heard the news, he was shocked and rushed to the manor.
"Brother Chu, I did not expect to miss such an exciting battle while I was in seclusion." Long Yunkong exclaimed with a smile.
"Brother Long, your cultivation base has increased a little. Your strength must have increased by a lot." Chu Mu saw Long Yunkong's cultivation base at first glance. It had increased from the early Seventh Sky of Wangu to the middle Seventh Sky of Wangu.
For ordinary cultivators, a small increase in strength would not be obvious. However, for geniuses, a small increase in strength would be obvious.
"No matter how much I have improved, I can't compare to you, Brother Chu." Long Yunkong sighed.
Originally, he had worked hard to cultivate because he didn't want to fall behind Chu Mu too much. Unknowingly, he had already set Chu Mu as a goal.
However, to his surprise, although he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation and increased his strength, the gap between him and Chu Mu had widened instead.
The seventh star, Unparalleled Sword Star!
This title represented one's strength.
After chatting for a while, Long Yunkong brought up the idea of sparring with Chu Mu. Of course, Chu Mu didn't refuse.
Sparring was mainly about swordsmanship. Long Yunkong's swordsmanship was indeed not bad, but there was a clear gap between him and Bai Chen. This sparring was almost equivalent to Chu Mu teaching Long Yunkong swordsmanship.
"Thank you, Brother Chu." Long Yun Kong put away his sword and saluted Chu Mu with three swords. Chu Mu accepted it calmly.
"I plan to stay here for a while. Is it inconvenient for you?" Long Yunkong said again.
"Brother Long, this manor originally belonged to you. There's no need to bother," Chu Mu said with a smile.
Long Yunkong stayed for the time being. His purpose was very simple. He wanted to ask Chu Mu to teach him swordsmanship.
A few days later, an uninvited guest came.
This person had barged into the manor without any prior notice. Seeing Chu Mu practicing his sword, he didn't say anything further. His footsteps suddenly sped up, and his body transformed into an aurora. He pulled out his sword, and a dazzling sword light flashed. It was like an aurora streaking across the sky. It was compatible with his movement technique. Sword and body combined, and the power of this move was displayed to the extreme.
The moment the uninvited guest entered the manor, Chu Mu sensed it.
While practicing his swordsmanship, he had a unique grasp of the surroundings. The movements of the entire manor were under his control.
"Who is it?" The Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint were sparring on the side when they sensed the arrival of an uninvited guest. As soon as they saw the swift Aurora Sword Radiance, their expressions changed and they let out a low roar. The two of them switched from sparring to facing the enemy together and stabbed out with their swords at the same time.
A waning moon rose. The moonlight shone brightly. The Sword Light was as steady as a rock.
Two swords and two moves attacked the uninvited guest at the same time.
However, the uninvited guest merged with his sword and was extremely fast. Like an aurora, he flew through the air. The aurora-like sword light twisted slightly and broke free of the Waning Moon Sword Saint and Monolith Sword Saint's pursuit. He was even faster as he stabbed towards Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's pupils contracted slightly. A wisp of aurora-like light was reflected in his eyes. He shook his right hand slightly. The Roaring Glory Spiritual Sword trembled and the Sword Light spread out.
He swung the Roaring Glory Spiritual Sword like a long whip. The golden-red Sword Light immediately slashed out. With a whistling sound, it was like a dragon swinging its tail, shattering the void.
In an instant, the two Sword Light collided. The aurora-like Sword Light was instantly shattered by Chu Mu's swing of his sword.
The uninvited guest's figure was revealed. It was a black-robed young man.
The black-robed young man's eyes flashed. When the Sword Light was shattered, his expression changed. He shouted in a low voice and a strong aura gushed out. He waved his sword in an instant. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. In an instant, eighteen sword Sword Lights were extremely fast. Eighteen aurora-like Sword Light intertwined and slashed, cutting the void in front of him into countless pieces.
This move was enough to threaten an ordinary Nine Star Saint Level expert.
Chu Mu's Sword Light changed its trajectory. It went from an arc to a straight stab. When the sword stabbed out, it seemed to pierce through the clouds and the moon.
It was just a stab, but it was like a thousand or ten thousand swords. It hit the intersection of the eighteen aurora-like Sword Light.
The strong eighteen aurora-like Sword Light was immediately broken by Chu Mu's sword.
A Sword Light passed by like a thunderbolt and arrived in an instant. Before the black-robed young man could perform a new sword technique, Chu Mu's sword had already stabbed toward his face. A cold light flashed in front of his eyes. It was like a cold star shining, filling the world in front of his eyes.
In great shock, the black-robed young man burst out with all his strength. His strong aura soared into the sky. The sword in his hand burst out an amazing light. In the sharp slashes, a defensive wall of light was formed in front of him.
The wall of light was strong. The aurora-like ripples, intertwined and attacked. It instantly blocked Chu Mu's stab.
Chu Mu's wrist trembled slightly. His strength exploded, layer by layer. His sword pierced through the aurora-like sword wall, tearing it apart and piercing through it.
The sword touched the black-robed young man's horizontal sword. The strong impact of the Sword Will made the black-robed young man tremble and fly backward. He felt pain in his muscles and bones, as if they were about to fall apart. He couldn't control his Qi and blood, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He landed dozens of meters away and staggered back dozens of meters before he could regain his balance. The Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint attacked and surrounded him.
"Stop!" the black-robed young man shouted. "I mean no harm."
But the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint wouldn't listen to him. They attacked from left and right. Although they didn't want to kill him, they would still be injured if they were hit.
"Stop." Chu Mu's indifferent voice sounded. The Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint stopped their attacks at the same time. They stopped less than an inch away from the black-robed young man. The cold sword will attacked, and the black-robed young man's expression changed.
He had almost died here. He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
The reason why Chu Mu called for them to stop was because the black-robed young man didn't show any killing intent from the beginning to the end.
"The famous Aurora-Sword Saint. What do you want from me?" Chu Mu asked again. He pointed out the other party's identity with one sentence.
The Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint looked at the black-robed young man with sudden realization. So this was the Aurora-Sword Saint who had been in the limelight recently.
They cultivated in the manor, but it didn't mean that they didn't know what was going on outside.
Therefore, they knew about the bigger news in the outside world.
The Aurora-Sword Saint was a very famous person in the past half a year. It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere. He first defeated Zhou Jianming, then Yu Canghe, and then Ji Ying.
Zhou Jianming, Yu Canghe, and Ji Ying were the top three geniuses in the first array. It was naturally big news that they had been defeated consecutively.
The Aurora-Sword Saint, Zhao Wuji, was also famous because of this.
Zhao Wuji had a mysterious background. His cultivation had reached the late stage of the Seventh Sky of Aeon, but his strength was not inferior to an ordinary Nine Star Saint. The sword technique he used was called the Aurora-Sword Technique. The sword was as swift as the aurora, and the power was condensed. The penetrating power was shocking. Therefore, he was called the Aurora-Sword Saint.
Because he had defeated Zhou Jianming, Yu Canghe, and Ji Ying, the Aurora-Sword Saint, Zhao Wuji was regarded as the number one person below the seven stars.
Half a year ago, Zhao Wuji had watched the battle between Chu Mu and Bai Chen on Dragon Head Mountain. He had been greatly inspired. For the past half a year, he had been constantly challenging people to improve his sword technique. After increasing his strength, he had the idea of challenging Chu Mu. Therefore, he had come to Blood-Slaughtering City to find Chu Mu.
He felt that even if he wasn't a match for Chu Mu, the difference wouldn't be too big. However, he hadn't expected to be defeated by Chu Mu in just a few moves.
Chu Mu's cultivation was only at the peak of the mid-stage of the Sixth Sky of Aeon. He hadn't even reached the late-stage of the Sixth Sky of Aeon.
Zhao Wuji didn't know until they had fought. Once they had fought, Zhao Wuji realized that there was a huge gap between his strength and a Star Realm monstrous genius like Chu Mu.
If the battle with Chu Mu was like this, there was no need to talk about the battle with the other six stars. After all, although Chu Mu's talent was strong, his cultivation was still inferior to the First Sky of the six stars.
Zhao Wuji's simple explanation was accepted by the crowd.
"Brother Chu, I took the liberty to make a move. Please don't take offense." After Zhao Wuji explained, he cupped his fists. He was arrogant, but Chu Mu's talent and strength were above his. Therefore, he didn't feel that he had anything to be proud of in front of Chu Mu.
"It's just a spar. There's nothing to be surprised about." Chu Mu smiled.
"I was too arrogant. I thought that my strength was enough to challenge Brother Chu. I didn't expect that there was still a huge gap between us." Zhao Wuji shook his head and sighed, "Brother Chu, in a few years, I will also enter the Black God Secret Realm. Right now, I need to go back and cultivate in seclusion to increase my strength. When the time comes, I will definitely challenge you again. Please accept this bottle of pills as an apology for offending Brother Chu."
After saying that, Zhao Wuji threw a jade bottle at Chu Mu. He turned around and walked out of the manor.
