Zhuge Ming's arrival and explanation gave Chu Mu a deeper understanding of the Sword Residence.
There were around four thousand outer palace disciples, seventy thousand inner palace disciples, and twenty thousand king palace disciples. This number caused Chu Mu to be extremely shocked.
All the inner house disciples were swordsmen of the Qi Transformation Realm, and all the imperial house disciples were swordsmen of the Qi Sea Realm, and they were not ordinary swordsmen. In addition, there were Ninth Transformation Realm seed disciples. Zhuge Ming did not specify how many there were, but it should not be too little.
"There are no more than 20 swordsmen of the Qi Transformation Realm in the entire Qingfeng Sword Sect. Even if the Qinglan Sword Sect is stronger than the Qingfeng Sword Sect, there will not be too many swordsmen of the Qi Transformation Realm. There are less than 100 swordsmen of the Qi Transformation Realm in the entire Qinglan Mountain Three Sword Sect. Compared to the Great Kun Sword Residence, it is like comparing a firefly to the moon, "Chu Mu said to himself.
He felt that even the more powerful middle or upper grade sword sects could not compare to the Sword Residence in terms of the number of swordsmen of the Qi Transformation Realm. There were more than 70,000 swordsmen, which was a huge number.
When he returned to his room, he recalled everything Zhuge Ming said about the Sword Residence. He digested it one by one, and the shock in his heart gradually calmed down. However, there was a sense of excitement that came from the depths of his heart, bone, and soul.
"A Sword Residence like this, where there are many experts, is the place that suits me." Chu Mu said to himself. His eyes shone brightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He clenched his fists and felt a surge of power surging from the depths of his body. It made him want to immediately draw his sword and spar with those experts.
After a long time, the excitement in Chu Mu's heart gradually calmed down. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, but it was contained in the depths of his pupils.
"The Ancient Sword Continent is different from Earth. Swordsmen on Earth spend their lives practicing basic swordsmanship until they reach the level of swordsmanship grandmaster. Only then do they have external sword aura and begin to create their own sword moves. As such, I need to constantly challenge and exchange blows with brilliant swordsmen to improve myself. " Chu Mu thought to himself, But the swordsmen of the Ancient Sword Continent don't only have one sword technique. It's just a foundation. Apart from that, there are all kinds of powerful sword techniques, internal sword Qi, various concepts, sword moves, and so on. Therefore, even if you don't go around challenging others, there are other ways to strengthen yourself. "
Based on Chu Mu's character in the past, he would have gone around looking for skilled swordsmen to spar with. However, the environment was different. Compared to a swordsman, a swordsman was much more profound, and there was no need to stick to one pattern. Furthermore, in the world of swordsmen, there were many experts. The current Chu Mu was only at the bottom of the swordsmen. It was just his foundation. He still needed to continue improving himself and become stronger. Only then would he have the qualifications to compete with other swordsmen.
"According to what Senior Brother Zhuge said, the moment I break through to the Qi Transformation Realm, I will enter the Ethereal Realm. At that time, my comprehension will increase exponentially, and there will be at least a 30% chance of increasing my comprehension. Thinking about it, with my powerful soul and comprehension, there should be at least a 70% to 80% chance. " Chu Mu's eyes shone. "I have forty percent Wind Concept, twenty percent Cloud Concept, and ten percent Metal Concept. Now, the most important thing is to increase my Cloud Concept and Metal Concept to thirty percent. Then, I'll take advantage of the time when I break through to the Qi Transformation Realm to raise these two concepts to forty percent.
"According to the rules, the Cultivation Sacred Land is used to speed up the comprehension of concepts. However, new students don't have the qualifications to enter the Cultivation Sacred Land. Only after participating in the Small Sword Pagoda Ranking Battle will they have the opportunity to enter the Cultivation Sacred Land. There are still twenty days until the Small Sword Pagoda Ranking Battle. In these twenty days, I'll raise my sword Qi cultivation to the half-step Qi Transformation Realm, and then cultivate the Phantom Steps to a higher level. I hope to obtain a higher ranking in the Small Sword Pagoda Ranking Battle. "
Thinking up to here, Chu Mu couldn't help but think of Xiao Qianfeng. If it weren't for that accident, Xiao Qianfeng would be cultivating in the Sword Mansion like him.
With Xiao Qianfeng's talent and temperament, he would definitely be able to stand out among the geniuses in the Sword Mansion and become the focus of everyone's attention. Thinking of Xiao Qianfeng, Chu Mu also thought of the Qinglan Sword Sect. He clenched his fists tightly. When he was strong enough, he would kill his way to the Qinglan Sword Sect and get the revenge they deserved.
…
In a room on the second floor of Sword Tower No. 321, Chu Mu sat cross-legged on the bed with a low-grade spirit stone in his hand. He closed his eyes and focused on channeling the Shangyuan Sword Qi Manual.
The pure Shangyuan Sword Qi flowed like a stream in his meridians. As it flowed through his palm, it drew out a stream of pure Spirit Qi from the low-grade spirit stone. It flowed through his meridians and merged into the Shangyuan Sword Qi. During the channeling process, it quickly transformed into Shangyuan Sword Qi, causing it to constantly grow stronger.
Not long after, the Thirty-Three Great Circulations were completed. Chu Mu opened his eyes. Two rays of light pierced through the air. He slightly opened his mouth and exhaled a mouthful of white turbid Qi that shot out like a sword.
When he opened his palm, the low-grade spirit stone in the palm of his hand had almost completely turned gray. The white dot on it was almost invisible. Chu Mu knew that after such a long period of absorption, the pure Spirit Qi in this low-grade spirit stone was finally going to be absorbed by him.
He could not help but sigh inwardly. Such a low grade spirit stone was actually able to support his cultivation for over half a year. Although this was also because his cultivation was only at Tenth Phase and had yet to reach the Qi Transformation stage, it also reflected the enormous amount of Spirit Qi contained within the low grade spirit stone.
Putting the low-grade spirit stone into the Space Bracelet, Chu Mu felt that he should be able to openly use the Space Bracelet when he broke through to the Qi Transformation Realm.
He got up and opened the door just in time to see Zhang Qingwei coming upstairs.
When Zhang Qingwei saw Chu Mu, his expression changed slightly. His eyes evaded Chu Mu's gaze, not daring to look directly at him. In a flash, he hurriedly hid in his room.
Chu Mu did not care about this. Ever since his battle with Li Yingrui, he did not know what Li Yingrui said to Zhang Qingwei. In short, whenever Zhang Qingwei met Chu Mu, he did not dare to look directly at Chu Mu. He avoided him as much as possible. Even if he could not avoid him, he did not dare to be as overbearing as before. Instead, he would smile apologetically.
Walking down the stairs to the first floor of the Sword Tower, Chu Mu drew his sword and practiced the basic swordsmanship. Chu Mu had not given up on the fundamentals of swordsmanship. He still insisted on taking a certain amount of time to practice every day.
Since his swordsmanship had reached the Grandmaster Realm, it had become very difficult to improve. Until now, there had not been any obvious improvement.
After finishing his swordsmanship training, Chu Mu began to practice the Hurricane Sword Art, the Golden Edge Sword Art, the Dual Sword Art, and so on. After reviewing all of them, he began to practice the Phantom Steps.
When he took a step forward, an illusion appeared, making it impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Step after step, using his footsteps to move his body, one illusion after another appeared on the first floor. There were already five of them. Including Chu Mu, there were six of them. This meant that Chu Mu's comprehension of the Phantom Steps had deepened.
At this time, two people walked in from outside. They were Zhou Yi and Shen Tao. When they saw the six almost identical figures overlapping each other, they could not help but rub their eyes and look again. However, they still could not distinguish between the real and the fake. Immediately, their faces were filled with shock.
"Senior Brother Chu's footwork has become even more brilliant." Zhou Yi sucked in a breath of cold air and said.
"That's right. It's impossible to tell which one is real and which one is fake. If you fight senior brother Chu like this, you won't be able to make any effective attacks. You definitely won't be a match for senior brother Chu." Shen Tao nodded and agreed.
At the top of the stairs, Zhang Qingwei secretly looked down. When he saw the six alternating figures, his expression became even uglier. Even with his cultivation and eyesight, he was unable to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Time passed day by day. Chu Mu seemed to have returned to the days when he was in the Azure Edge Sword Sect.
Every day, he would wake up early, wash up, and begin to practice the Origin Sword Qi Art. After that, he would practice the various swordsmanship training. After that, he would practice other swordsmanship. Then he would practice the Windwalk, Fleeting Gale, and Phantom Steps.
At night, he would immerse himself in the comprehension of sword intent. Only in the middle of the night would he enter a deep sleep to recover the energy he had spent during the day.
Day after day, Chu Mu almost turned into a swordsmanship nerd. He did not even go to the Thousand Meals Courtyard. Every meal was brought back by Shen Tao and Zhou Yi.
As a result, Chu Mu saved a lot of time. Shen Tao and Zhou Yi were also very happy to do so.
A new day had arrived. Chu Mu woke up and washed up. After stretching his muscles and bones, he sat cross-legged on the bed. He cleared away all distracting thoughts, calmed his mind, and began to practice the Origin Sword Qi Art.
He held a new lower grade spirit stone in his right hand. The previous one had already lost its effect and had become a very ordinary stone. Perhaps after thousands of years, it would become a spirit stone again. However, it would no longer be of any use to Chu Mu.
After circulating one cycle after another, the Origin Sword Qi became increasingly pure and vigorous. While circulating, it faintly emitted a muffled rumbling sound as if it was about to break through some shackles.
Suddenly, Chu Mu's body involuntarily trembled. The Origin Sword Qi in his meridians suddenly accelerated, as if something was about to break through. Chu Mu only felt the Origin Sword Qi churning. It was thirty percent pure and thirty percent vigorous.
"Good, I've finally reached half-step Qi Transformation. My overall strength has increased by at least twenty to thirty percent."
After finishing the Origin Sword Qi Art, he went downstairs and began his regular training. Then, he began to practice the Phantom Steps.
Phantoms appeared. One … two … three … four … five … six …
Six phantoms and Chu Mu himself. There were seven phantoms that were difficult to distinguish between real and fake. They moved around the first floor of the Sword Gauntlet in a dazzling sight.
Practicing the Phantom Steps over and over again, the phantoms appeared and disappeared. They overlapped and alternated, but there were still six of them.
After more than ten times, Chu Mu's footsteps paused. The phantoms overlapped and disappeared. He stood there quietly and thought for a moment. Then, his body moved again and phantoms appeared one after another.
After the sixth illusory figure, a new illusory figure was formed with a flash. At the same time, the loud sound of a bell rang out, exploding with invisible sound waves that spread out in all directions. It ignored all obstacles and drilled into the ears of every student in the Outer Mansion … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
