The battle on Dragon Head Mountain had once again established Chu Mu's fame.
Unparalleled Sword Star, Unparalleled Sword Star. His name was worthy of its name and was enough to intimidate the weak.
As for the Evil Dragon Palace, to outsiders, they had only lost a Third Elder and eighteen Evil Dragon Secret Guardians. In reality, they had also lost two Dark Dragon Guards.
The cultivation of the Dark Dragon Guards was a hundred times more difficult than the Evil Dragon Secret Guardians. Thus, the Evil Dragon Palace only had six Dark Dragon Guards. Chu Mu had killed two of them in an instant. This loss was even greater than the losses on the surface. It could be said that the Evil Dragon Palace had suffered another serious blow. Their overall strength had decreased by quite a bit.
When the Evil Dragon Palace's First Palace Master and the others learned of this news, the fury in their hearts was indescribable.
"Sect Master, let me go." The First Elder stood up and said in a low voice.
"Go." Gu Xingdao's expression and tone were ice-cold.
After the Great Elder bowed, a black shadow seemed to float past, like a heavy ink brush brushing across a piece of white paper. Soon after, it disappeared.
The mysterious First Elder had left the Evil Dragon Palace for the first time after cultivating for several hundred years. Only he himself knew how strong he was. Even the First Palace Master, Gu Xingdao, did not know.
"Second Elder, I'll leave the matters of the palace to you for now." Gu Xingdao instructed before turning into a streak of light and disappearing.
He also wanted to go out.
There was no other way. After suffering two serious injuries, the Evil Dragon Palace's strength had been severely damaged. Moreover, their reputation had also been greatly damaged. The hatred he had for Chu Mu could not be washed away. Whether the First Elder could find Chu Mu or kill Chu Mu was still unknown. Thus, it was safer for him to act personally.
A mysterious First Elder whose strength was unknown and a Bright Moon Sword Saint. Would Chu Mu be able to survive the pursuit of these two?
… …
The exquisite flying shuttle flew at high speed, heading deeper into the Land of Exile.
The pursuit of the Evil Dragon Palace was within his expectations. However, Chu Mu did not know who was pursuing him.
While driving the shuttle, he checked the 21 Space Rings.
Aside from the Evil Dragon Palace's Third Elder's spatial ring, the other twenty spatial rings were practically useless to Chu Mu. After all, a group of Evil Dragon Secret Guardians and two Dark Dragon Guards would not carry any treasures with them.
Chu Mu checked the four bottles of pills given to him by Ghost Dragon Sect's Sect Master Gui Wuwu.
Chu Mu had already consumed the Four Symbols Origin Refining Pill, so he was very clear about its effects. However, he still wanted to confirm if it had been tampered with.
Although Chu Mu was still unable to refine a pill on the level of the Four Symbol Yuan Refining Pill with his current alchemy skills, it was not difficult for him to check if the pill had been tampered with by combining his soul power and other factors.
There were a total of forty pills in the four bottles. He checked them one by one, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he packed them up again.
The Four Symbols Origin Transformation Pill and the Four Symbols Origin Refining Pill belonged to the same line of medicinal pills, and they were like cousins. The Four Symbols Origin Transformation Pill's main effect was to increase Origin Energy, and its secondary effect was to refine Origin Energy. This point just happened to be different from the Four Symbols Origin Refining Pill, and the two could completely have the effect of complementing each other.
"One Four Symbols Energy Refining Pill is equivalent to three months of my cultivation. Then, the effects of the Four Symbols Origin Refining Pill will only be stronger. However, I wonder how much it will increase?" Chu Mu thought to himself.
The Ancient Saint's Breakthrough Pill was a pill used to refine the Saint Body. The so-called breakthrough meant to break through one's limits.
After mastering the Energy Unification Technique, Sword Origin Energy and Physique Energy could be perfectly combined. Therefore, whether it was increasing Sword Origin Energy or Saint Body, it would be of great help to Chu Mu's strength.
Comparatively speaking, the Saint Body was only at the mid stage of the fifth rank, close to the late stage. On the other hand, Sword Origin's cultivation was higher. Of course, increasing the level of the Saint Body would be more difficult. Between the same level of Saint Body and Yuan Power, the cultivator of the Saint Body would usually be more powerful.
The flying shuttle quickly entered the Land of Exile. Along the way, Chu Mu would switch to another flying shuttle. With the addition of the third elder's flying shuttle, it would be even easier to confuse him.
When the great elder of the Evil Dragon Hall arrived at Dragon Head Mountain, Chu Mu had already left, deep into the Land of Exile.
… …
"An abandoned Sinner's cave. Not bad. It's perfect for a place to cultivate," Chu Mu said joyfully after he finished exploring.
Sinner's caves were usually more hidden. This cave was abandoned, and its concealment was not good. That was why Chu Mu had discovered it. After exploring it, he discovered that it was a cave with only one floor.
Chu Mu went to the depths of the cave and laid down seals in the surroundings. His cultivation had increased very quickly, and so had his strength. He did not have the time to study the dao of seals. Thus, his current attainments in seals could not keep up with his strength. Compared to his opponents, they could only serve as a simple warning.
After laying down the seals, Chu Mu sat down cross-legged. He took out four bottles of pills and placed them beside him.
"Let's refine the Four Forms Origin Pill first."
He took out a Four Forms Origin Pill and tossed it into his mouth. He carefully sensed the medicinal energy within. It turned into a clear stream and flowed down his throat into his stomach, becoming warm. His lower abdomen was warm and very comfortable.
His Sword Origin moved, driving the medicinal energy through his meridians. As soon as he did so, Chu Mu felt that the Four Forms Origin Pill's growth in Sword Origin clearly surpassed that of the Four Forms Origin Refining Pill.
Because he wasn't in a place like Dragon Head Mountain, there wasn't any external pressure from a powerful force field. Therefore, Chu Mu spent two full days before he finished refining the first Four Image Energy Transforming Pill.
As expected of a high-end pill, Chu Mu could feel his Sword Origin increasing significantly after refining it. It was also very stable. This was because the Four Forms Origin Pill had a small refining effect.
"Based on this efficiency, I should be able to reach late-stage Eighth Heavenly Layer after refining two bottles of Four Forms Origin Pill." Chu Mu thought to himself.
Once his cultivation reached late-stage Eighth Heavenly Layer, his strength would increase as well.
He continued refining.
One Four Forms Origin Pill took about two and a half days to refine. A total of twenty Four Forms Origin Pills took Chu Mu fifty days. After refining all of them, his cultivation base broke through as he had expected.
Late-Stage Eighth Heavenly Layer!
This kind of pill was very high-end and precious. Ordinary factions did not have the qualifications to take it out. Even Gui Wuwu would not be able to take out two bottles easily. However, in order to make Chu Mu stronger and better deal with the Evil Dragon Palace, Gui Wuwu had no choice but to spend some money.
For ordinary Eighth Heavenly Layer cultivators, one bottle of Four Forms Origin Pill was enough to raise their cultivation from early-stage Eighth Heavenly Layer to late-stage Eighth Heavenly Layer. However, Chu Mu's Dantian had undergone a transformation, and his Sword Origin was extremely pure. Every time he raised his cultivation base, he would need ten times more energy than an ordinary cultivator.
This was completely out of Gui Wuwu's expectations. He thought that two bottles of Four Forms Origin Refining Pill and two bottles of Four Forms Origin Refining Pill would be enough for Chu Mu to reach peak Eighth Heavenly Layer and stabilize his cultivation base.
The current Chu Mu could contend against peak Dark Star Rank experts. If his cultivation reached peak Immemorial Eighth Sky and stabilized, he would be able to defend himself against Bright Moon Rank Sword Saints even if he could not defeat them.
As for the bottle of Ancient Saint Breaking Limit Pills, Gui Wuwu had prepared extra. After all, Chu Mu had never revealed his Saint Body before. His Origin Energy cultivation base was much higher than his Saint Body cultivation base. Naturally, no one would think that he was a Saint Body cultivator.
Then, Chu Mu put away the bottle of Four Forms Origin Refining Pill.
The amount of energy needed to raise his cultivation base from late-stage Eighth Heavenly Layer to peak Eighth Heavenly Layer was much higher. A bottle of Four Forms Origin Refining Pill was not that effective. The amount of Origin Energy he could gain from refining the pill was very limited.
"Next, I will refine the Ancient Saint Breaking Limit Pill."
Taking out a Ancient Saint Breaking Limit Pill, Huang Xiaolong saw that the pill was golden red in color. It was round and flawless, and it emitted waves of heat.
When he threw the pill into his mouth, it turned into a boiling liquid. It was as if he had swallowed lava. His esophagus was on fire, and waves of heat spread out. Soon, Chu Mu's skin turned red. Steam rose from his body, and white smoke rose into the air.
The intense heat spread throughout his body, and his blood started to boil.
The temperature in his body rose higher and higher. His blood was about to evaporate, and his organs were boiling. Even his bones were showing signs of softening.
The terrifying heat spread out, and the ground that Chu Mu was sitting on began to melt. This was a black iron ore that was extremely resistant to heat. It melted easily, and this was only because of the heat emitted from Chu Mu's body.
The Ancient Saint Breaking Limit Pill was like refining a Golden Body.
The Ancient Saint Breaking Limit Pill was a pill that was suitable for high-level Sacred Realm experts. It was suitable for a Level 6 Sacred Body, and it had a tempering effect on a Level 7 Sacred Body. However, it was barely enough for Chu Mu's Level 5 Sacred Body.
If his Sacred Body didn't have four attributes, and was more resilient than a Sacred Body of the same level, he wouldn't be able to withstand the heat.
Especially the Eternal Energy and Pure Yang Energy, their effects were obvious. They could resist the high temperature, and he wouldn't be completely melted.
Three days and three nights. After three days and three nights, the effect of the Ancient Saint Breaking Limit Pill gradually weakened. On the fifth day, the temperature dropped further. On the tenth day, the Ancient Saint Breaking Limit Pill was completely absorbed by Chu Mu's body.
Under the high temperature, Huang Xiaolong's whole body was in pain. It felt as if his whole body was melting, and it wasn't a good feeling.
However, after enduring it, Chu Mu could feel that his body was full of vitality, and his bones were tougher.
"Late Level 5."
Huang Xiaolong sensed that his Sacred Body had broken through to Late Level 5, and his strength had increased by a lot.
"There are still nine Ancient Saint Breaking Limit Pills left. They should be enough for my Sacred Body to break through to Level 6." Chu Mu thought to himself.
Once his Sacred Body reached Level 6, his strength would be greatly enhanced when combined with the Sword Origin of the Late Level 8 Immemorial Realm.
