The reason why Xie Donghua lost was firstly because he cultivated wind type sword techniques and comprehended the concept of wind. On this point, he was already inferior to Chu Mu.
Secondly, he'd misjudged Chu Mu's strength, causing him to be unable to bring forth his full strength. In the end, he was defeated by Chu Mu.
Xie Donghua believed that if they were to fight again, he would definitely not be defeated so quickly.
But a defeat was a defeat. According to the rules, he wasn't allowed to challenge Chu Mu for a month. After a month, he could pay a price to challenge Chu Mu again. At that time, he would challenge Chu Mu and seize back the Sword Pavilion.
Chu Mu defeated Xie Donghua under the supervision of the deacon of the Hundred Affairs Hall and under the witness of over 3,000 new and old students. Chu Mu had once again caused a stir in the Outer Court.
The uproar caused by him challenging the Small Sword Pagoda hadn't died down yet, and a new wave of uproar from defeating Xie Donghua surged over once more. It could be said that one wave had yet to die down when another wave arose.
"Dammit!" Huangfu Ba crushed the cup in his hand.
He'd always remembered the humiliation of being defeated by Chu Mu with a single sword strike, and he'd always wanted to turn the tables. But never had he imagined that Chu Mu would reveal a terrifying edge as soon as he entered the Sword Mansion. Even Huangfu Changtian was unable to compare to Chu Mu, so his hopes of turning the tables had completely failed.
"Don't be disheartened. We're disciples of the Imperial Family. With our natural talent and coupled with the fact that we've become the preparatory members of the Heaven King Hall, I believe we'll be able to improve our strength even faster. Once our cultivations break through to the Energy Transformation Realm, we'll immediately become official members of the Heaven King Hall. At that time, we'll be able to obtain even more cultivation resources and improve even faster. Catching up to and surpassing Chu Mu isn't impossible. "Huangfu Neng was relatively calm as he analyzed.
Huangfu Changtian, Huangfu Bingning, and Huangfu Shuidie didn't say anything. Actually, they felt that surpassing Chu Mu was absolutely not a simple matter, and it was extremely difficult or even impossible.
After all, they would improve, but it was impossible for Chu Mu to remain stagnant. People like him who couldn't see the depth of their abilities were the most dreaded. No one knew if Chu Mu would improve three points if they improved one point.
"I have to work hard as well. I can't let the gap between me and Junior Brother get too big," Luo Yufeng said to himself.
It was as if they had been stimulated by Chu Mu. Many of the new students wholeheartedly immersed themselves in their cultivation. Many of the old students were also stimulated and worked even harder in their cultivation, forming a good atmosphere.
…
"According to Senior Brother Zhuge, the function of the Cultivation Holy Land is to speed up the comprehension of Intent Realms. Those who have not comprehended Intent Realms can also comprehend Intent Realms from there. However, the Cultivation Holy Land is only effective for concepts below 40%. Once a concept reaches 40%, the Cultivation Holy Land will be powerless, "Chu Mu said to himself.
"Now that my comprehension of the concept of wind has reached 43%, the Cultivation Holy Land is of no help to me. However, my comprehension of the concept of gold and cloud has yet to reach 30%. I can borrow the effects of the Cultivation Holy Land to speed up my comprehension."
While thinking to himself, Chu Mu once again went down and left the Sword Tower.
Now, the concept of the sixty-fifth Sword Tower belonged to Chu Mu. This Sword Tower still had two floors, but the area was much bigger. The second floor also did not have any room partitions. Although the layout was also very simple, it gave people a different feeling. It was much more delicate and had a sense of texture.
In addition, for some unknown reason, the Spirit Qi inside the Sword Tower was fifty percent denser than the other Collective Sword Towers. Under such nourishment for a long time, it would definitely be more beneficial to one's body.
As for the meals, there were also people from the Thousand Cuisine Courtyard in charge of them. All kinds of treatment were indeed incomparable to the Collective Sword Tower.
The entrance to the Cultivation Holy Land was in the northeast corner of the Outer Palace. It was specially guarded by the Outer Palace Elder.
"You are Chu Mu?" The Elder in charge of the Cultivation Holy Land's entrance looked deeply at Chu Mu, as if he wanted to see what was different about Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded.
"Ranked sixty-fifth on the Iron Sword List, you have forty-five hours to use the Cultivation Holy Land in these three months." The Elder retracted his gaze and said slowly, "Which Cultivation Holy Land do you want to enter?"
"White Cloud Ferry," Chu Mu said without hesitation.
There were a total of twelve Cultivation Holy Lands in the Sword Mansion. They were: Still Water, Ice Cave, Thousand Musen, Lava Pool, Thunder Valley, Gale Cliff, White Cloud Ferry, Earth Wasteland, Golden Sword Tomb, Pure Yuan Pavilion, Polar Light Pavilion, and Black Demon Abyss.
Still Water comprehended the concept of water, Ice Cave comprehended the concept of ice, Thousand Musen comprehended the concept of wood, Lava Pool comprehended the concept of fire, Thunder Valley comprehended the concept of thunder, Gale Cliff comprehended the concept of wind, White Cloud Ferry comprehended the concept of clouds, Earth Wasteland comprehended the concept of earth, and Golden Sword Tomb comprehended the concept of metal.
Pure Yuan Pavilion was more special. It was a Holy Land to cultivate sword qi. It had nothing to do with the concept. It was said that the Spirit Qi in Pure Yuan Pavilion was incomparably pure and abundant. Most importantly, unlike other places, the Spirit Qi could be absorbed into the body and transformed into sword qi.
Polar Light Pavilion comprehended the concept of light, while Black Demon Abyss comprehended the concept of darkness.
"White Cloud Ferry..." The elder nodded, took out a sword token and handed it to Chu Mu. He then pointed to the light door behind him and said, "Take the sword token and walk in. You will be sent to White Cloud Ferry."
"Thank you, elder," Chu Mu said. He took the sword token and walked into the light door and disappeared.
"It is said that Chu Mu also displayed the concept of wind when he defeated Xie Donghua. Why did he not enter Gale Cliff but enter White Cloud Ferry?" The elder stared at the light door and thought to himself, "Could it be that Chu Mu has already comprehended the concept of wind to the pinnacle of thirty percent? Or could it be that although his concept of wind has not reached the pinnacle of thirty percent, he has also comprehended the concept of clouds? "
"If it is the former, it means that Chu Mu's comprehension is very high. If it is the latter, it is even more incredible. Could there really be a second student who has comprehended two concepts in the Outer Mansion?" The elder thought for a long time but could not come to a conclusion. "This matter must be reported to the Mansion Master."
… …
As soon as he walked into the light door, Chu Mu only felt that he was wrapped in a strange power.
This power seemed to sweep through Chu Mu's body and finally locked onto the sword token in his hand. The sword token also burst forth with a power that mixed with the strange power.
Then, Chu Mu felt that the sky and earth were spinning. Before he could react, his eyes were filled with a vast expanse of whiteness.
"This place..." A look of astonishment flashed across Chu Mu's face. He found that he was standing on a white cloud, and all he could see were white clouds floating slowly. "... is this White Cloud Ferry?"
It was a very magical place. There was no land, no trees, only endless white clouds.
The floating white clouds did not have any pattern. They may float from the left, or from the right. When they collided with each other, they may both disperse, or they may merge to become a larger white cloud.
After the dispersing white clouds, there were still wisps of cloud energy left. Then, the wisps of cloud energy would reappear and gather to form a white cloud.
This beautiful and unpredictable scene instantly attracted Chu Mu's attention. His eyes didn't even blink as he gradually immersed himself in it, unable to extricate himself.
Where did the white clouds of White Cloud Ferry come from? Chu Mu did not know, nor did he want to know. This was not a question that he needed to think about.
Perhaps, only after comprehending the concept of clouds to perfection and breaking through, surpassing the level of the concept, would he have the qualifications to peek into the mysteries within.
And now, Chu Mu's mind was gradually drawn in. He forgot everything else and eliminated all distracting thoughts. He was fully focused on White Cloud Ferry. He wanted to feel the fluttering of the white clouds, feel the collision of the white clouds, feel the collapse of the white clouds, feel the fusion of the white clouds, feel the convergence of the white clouds.
Completely subconsciously, the sword in his hand jumped out and landed in his hand. Chu Mu used his sword arts purely by instinct.
However, if other people were to watch from the side, they would discover that Chu Mu's Flying Cloud Sword Technique seemed to be the same, but was faintly different. There was a faint shadow of the Flying Cloud Sword Technique within, but it was even more profound and unfathomable.
The Flying Cloud Sword Art was the first sword art that Chu Mu came into contact with after coming to this world. He had already thoroughly comprehended it. Now that he was able to sense it by observing the clouds, he was able to execute it. His 21% Concept of Clouds merged into it, dancing with the sea of clouds, creating a unique flavor.
He practiced the sword techniques over and over again, from the Flying Cloud Sword Technique to the Soft Cloud Sword Technique to the Following Cloud Sword Technique to the Rolling Cloud Sword Technique. Then, he performed the incomplete Cloud Sea Sword Technique and Cloud Shattering Sword Technique.
In the end, he unleashed the Cloud Shattering Sword Explosion. The Cloud Sword Qi pierced through the void and shot out in all directions. In this place, the power of the Cloud Sword Arts and Sword Skills was greatly enhanced.
After performing the Cloud Shattering Sword Explosion, Chu Mu maintained his sword stance and did not move. His eyes turned from sharp to gentle. The white ripples turned into wisps of cloud and flowed through his eyes slowly.
"Clouds form, clouds gather, clouds disperse, clouds disappear … This is the law and mystery of clouds …"
All kinds of thoughts appeared and circulated in his mind. All kinds of comprehensions appeared. Chu Mu only felt that the Concept of Clouds that he usually found hard to improve was starting to loosen up and deepen bit by bit.
After a while, Chu Mu waved his sword casually. It was purely an instinct. He did not perform any sword arts or Sword Skills. He was just like a child waving a tree branch randomly.
However, as Chu Mu waved his sword, wisps of cloud were produced from the tip of the sword. They slowly floated around and quickly formed an outline.
What was strange was that these wisps of cloud did not form into white clouds. Instead, they were like threads that wrapped around Chu Mu's surroundings. They were like silk wrapping around Chu Mu's body.
As the sword paused, the wisps of cloud also paused before they all dispersed.
"Concept of Clouds … Concept of Clouds …" Chu Mu muttered to himself. He withdrew his sword and stood up. There was a trace of absent-mindedness in his eyes. The white cloud under his feet slowly floated forward and collided with the other white clouds.
However, what was strange was that this white cloud did not disperse or merge with the other white clouds. It was like a reinforced white cloud that was rampaging and crushing everything.
Unknowingly, Chu Mu's Concept of Clouds had increased from 21% to 22%.
Chu Mu was still immersed in his comprehension. Sometimes he stood still, sometimes he waved his sword, sometimes he jumped up and spun in the air … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.
