The interior of the manor was like an independent little world. It was undisturbed by the outside world, and everything was peaceful.
As the Sword Light flickered, circles of ripples spread out like ripples. They spread out layer by layer and swept out in all directions. Every ripple contained astonishing power, and as they spread out, they cut through everything in their path.
The Rippling Sword was also known as the Eight Rippling Techniques.
Lin Biruo had trained bitterly for many years, and under Chu Mu's personal guidance, she had finally grasped a sliver of its essence.
Today was a year after Chu Mu returned to the manor in Bloodbath City.
The changes in the outside world were great, but the effects on the five cities were only preliminary. The manors in the five cities were not much of a power, so they were not affected at all. Chu Mu and the others who stayed in the manors were naturally fine as well.
However, Chu Mu did not let go of any news of the outside world. He had the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Monolithic Sword Saint pay close attention to all of it, to see just what kind of changes there were.
The destruction of the Evil Dragon Hall a year ago was believed to be the doing of the sect master of the Sword Demon Sect, Feng Wuyi, which boosted his reputation. Afterwards, he defeated the Bright Yang Sword Saint of the Dragon Slaying Manor, Long Huan, which made Feng Wuyi even more famous. For a moment, he suppressed the five city lord manors and entered a period of rapid development. More and more cultivators joined the Sword Demon Sect, obtaining the ability to demonify through the Demonification Pool and obtaining greater strength.
Powerful strength would make people intoxicated. After demonifying, they could devour Yuan Spirits to rapidly increase their own cultivation base. This made the disciples of the Sword Demon Sect restless, and they went around killing people. In the various camps of the Land of Exile, there were bloody massacres after massacres.
A portion of the Sword Demon Sect's disciples were killed, but a portion of them devoured souls and became even more powerful. Overall, the Sword Demon Sect's strength did not decrease at all. Instead, it increased.
Camps after camps surrendered or were destroyed. Battles and massacres could be seen everywhere. The land of exiles became extremely chaotic. Outside the five cities, it was possible to encounter the disciples of the Sword Demon Sect at any time and be surrounded and killed. As a result, in just a short year, large groups of cultivators had surged into the five cities, seeking the protection of the five city lord manors.
In this year, the five City Lord Manors did not take the initiative to attack. They only had some small skirmishes with the Sword Demon Sect.
There was still no news of the seven kings, and they still hadn't returned. The situation was becoming more and more intense.
"Brother Chu." Long Yunkong strode into the manor and cupped his hands in greeting as soon as he saw Chu Mu.
"Brother Long, you've made a breakthrough in your cultivation base and become even stronger," said Chu Mu with a smile.
Half a year ago, Long Yunkong came to the manor and saw Chu Mu. He was very happy that Chu Mu was still alive. After all, he treated Chu Mu as a good friend.
In the past five years, Long Yun Kong's cultivation level had increased a lot. He had reached the peak of the Seventh Sky of Immemorial Realm. Half a year ago, he had been cultivating in seclusion in the Three Sacred Sects, trying to break through to the next level. Now, his Qi was at the early Eighth Sky of Immemorial Realm.
"No matter how hard I try, I won't be able to catch up to Brother Chu." Long Yunkong laughed. It was a fact, but also a joke. He had already given up the thought of comparing himself with Chu Mu. Otherwise, it would only be very tiring.
When he first met Chu Mu, he was at the early Seventh Sky of Immemorial Realm while Chu Mu was at the early Fourth Sky of Immemorial Realm. Now, he was at the early Eighth Sky of Immemorial Realm while Chu Mu was at the early Ninth Sky of Immemorial Realm.
How could they compare?
After chatting for a while, Long Yunkong unsheathed his sword and began to compare sword skills with Chu Mu. This was a routine every time he came to the manor.
As a genius, Long Yunkong had decent talent, whether it was in cultivation or sword techniques. Because he often exchanged sword techniques with Chu Mu, his sword techniques were constantly improving. Now, his attainments were even more profound, surpassing geniuses of the same level and reaching an even higher level.
In the sharpness of the sword light, there was a change. It seemed simple, but was actually intricate and complicated. It was hard to grasp. It was enough to defeat a normal eight star saint rank initial stage expert in one strike. However, in Chu Mu's eyes, it was still not enough. No matter how Long Yun Kong used it, he was unable to harm Chu Mu at all. All the trajectories and even the flaws were clearly displayed in Chu Mu's eyes.
All of this came from the obvious gap between their sword skills.
"Brother Chu, I've learned a new sword skill. It's one of the secret sword skills of the Three Saint Sects. It's called Human Saint True Image Sword." Long Yun Kong's continuous attacks couldn't do anything to Chu Mu. Although he was shocked, he didn't feel dispirited because this was normal. Shortly after, he retracted his sword and stood upright, pointing it towards the sky like an incense stick. His expression was solemn as he said in a serious tone, "Please teach me."
"Please." Chu Mu stared at Long Yunkong and immediately felt that Long Yunkong's aura had undergone a miraculous change.
Originally, Long Yunkong's aura was like a white cloud floating in the sky. But now, it became more dignified and surrounded his body. It was as if the floating white clouds in the sky were frozen in an instant. Vaguely, there was the aura of a 'saint'.
Human Saint True Image Sword!
This was one of the three secret sword skills of the Three Saint Sects. The other two were Earth Saint and Heaven Saint. These three secret sword skills were the foundation of the Three Saint Sects.
Long Yunkong's cultivation had reached the early stage of the Eighth Sky of the Ancient Era. Because of his status in the Three Saint Sects, he was taught the first sword of the Three Saint Secret Sword. If it were someone else, they would have to be at the early stage of the Ninth Sky of the Ancient Era.
In the past six months, Long Yunkong had not only been cultivating in seclusion to make breakthroughs, but also to practice the Human Saint True Image Sword.
However, as one of the Three Saint Secret Swords of the Three Saint Sects, Long Yunkong had only scratched the surface in half a year even though it was the weakest and simplest sword skill. He knew Chu Mu's terrifying talent and high realm in sword skills. Therefore, he asked for Chu Mu's guidance.
As he accumulated power, Long Yunkong's aura became more and more serious. The wind stopped and the leaves in the manor stopped moving. Everyone could feel that a storm was coming. The air was oppressive.
In the distance, the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint were shocked. Then they felt bitter.
Originally, they thought that they had made great progress in their swordsmanship, but compared to Long Yunkong, there was still a clear gap. They also realized that the swordsmanship of those top forces was very tyrannical. Just the aura emitted by the swordsmanship was enough to make them feel oppressed. It should be known that their cultivation was one Celestial Layer higher than Long Yunkong's.
As Long Yunkong's aura grew stronger and stronger, Chu Mu's expression changed from indifference to solemnity.
"Human Saint True Image Sword … Human Saint True Image … Human Saint True Image … Human Saint True Image … Human Saint True Image …"
"When a man becomes a saint, he stops his seven emotions and six desires. He manifests his image and kills everything …"
"The Human Saint's True Image Sword is indeed unique."
For a moment, all kinds of inspirations appeared, but they were not complete.
In an instant, Long Yunkong slashed out with his sword. The sword light shone brightly as he became one with his sword, instantly tearing apart the void. A terrifying pressure poured down from all directions, directly hitting Chu Mu and suppressing him.
This kind of strong pressure was enough to affect an ordinary eight-star saint. If they were unprepared, they would be unable to move for a moment. For a strong cultivator, a moment was enough to decide many things.
The moment the pressure poured in from all directions, the Sword Light was already in front of him. There was no way to dodge it. In fact, Chu Mu did not need to dodge it.
In fact, he did not even pull out his sword. He only raised his sword finger and gently moved it. Vaguely, there seemed to be the sound of metal clashing. The Sword Light that could cut through everything collapsed in an instant, revealing the longsword. Chu Mu's sword finger was blocked. Chu Mu's sword finger was not damaged at all.
His sword finger trembled slightly, and a powerful force burst out. Under the shock, Long Yunkong could not help but continuously retreat. The pressure around him collapsed and disappeared in an instant. The aura that made Waning Moon and Rock Boulder feel oppressed also disappeared without a trace.
Long Yunkong retreated more than ten meters before he could steady himself. His face first turned abnormally red, then pale.
He had only just grasped the surface of Human Saint True Image Sword. It had consumed too much of his essence.
Yes, the Human Saint's Sword of Origin was not a regular sword technique. It was a secret sword technique, an absolute killing move. Its power was extremely terrifying, so the usage of energy it involved was countless times more complicated than regular sword techniques. It involved the use of one's strength, mind, and various other aspects. Not a single one of them could be missing.
Long Yunkong was only at the initial stage of cultivation. It was still very difficult for him to unleash the power of the Human Saint True Image Sword. If he could reach the small success stage, he would be able to severely injure or even kill an ordinary Nine Star Saint with one strike.
"It's not because he hasn't used his sword. It seems that he lacks the other two swords," Chu Mu said as if he was talking to himself.
Seeing Long Yunkong use his sword, he had an inspiration. He vaguely felt that this Human Saint True Image Sword would be useful to him. It would be helpful, but it was lacking. He originally thought that it was because Long Yunkong had not used his sword and had not shown more of its mysteries. Now, it seemed that this was not the case. Although Long Yunkong was only at the beginning level, Chu Mu could still see more mysteries.
He could not describe this kind of inspiration with words. He could only be sure that it was useful to him. Therefore, he wanted to comprehend it.
From the looks of it now, it seemed to be missing the connection between the other two swords. Perhaps, only by gathering the Sword of Mortal Saint's True Form and the other two swords and combining them to become complete would one be able to comprehend more from it and absorb the inspiration to improve oneself.
"Brother Long, I have something to discuss with you," Chu Mu said seriously.
"Brother Chu, please speak." Long Yunkong also realized that what Chu Mu wanted to say was not ordinary.
"I want to take a look at the Three Saints Secret Sword and see if you can pass it on," Chu Mu said, revealing his purpose.
