"Slaughtering Blood Manor …" Chu Mu raised his head. His gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, landing on the Slaughtering Blood Manor.
"Such power, far surpassing the Bright Yang Realm. Could it be that the Slaughtering Blood King has returned?" Muttering to himself, Chu Mu didn't hesitate. He directly left the manor and headed towards the Slaughtering Blood Manor.
If it was really the Slaughtering Blood King who had returned and invited him, he most likely wouldn't have any malicious intentions.
The previous confrontation on the spiritual level was more of a test because there was no killing intent in it.
Very quickly, Chu Mu arrived outside the Slaughtering Blood Manor without any obstructions. The guards of the Slaughtering Blood Manor all looked at Chu Mu with incomparable reverence. They all knew that it was this person who had personally killed the Sword Demon, Feng Wuyi, who had instilled fear in countless people, and indirectly saved countless people from danger.
"Brother Chu, you're here. Follow me." Tu Qianjun seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
He brought Chu Mu deep into the Slaughtering Blood Manor. Not long after, they stopped outside a blood-colored great hall.
"Brother Chu, this time, my master wants to see you." Tu Qianjun said. Shortly after, he spoke into the great hall, "Master, Chu Mu is here."
"Come in." A tyrannical voice rang out. It was the same voice that had invited Chu Mu to the Slaughtering Blood Manor.
Chu Mu followed Tu Qianjun into the great hall. What greeted them was a sea of blood, swallowing them whole. Although Tu Qianjun was used to it, Chu Mu didn't feel the slightest bit of fear.
After passing through the sea of blood, he saw everything in the great hall.
Everything in the great hall was blood-red. A tall figure sat on the main seat. His aura was tyrannical, as if he was the center of the great hall, the center of the Slaughtering Blood Manor.
"Master." Tu Qianjun quietly stood to the side.
"Greetings to the Slaughtering Blood King." Chu Mu bowed.
"Little friend Chu, I've heard of your name more than ten years ago. However, this should be the first time we're meeting." His voice always carried a sense of dominance. Those who were inferior to him in terms of strength and status would often feel restrained when facing him.
Chu Mu was no ordinary person, but when facing the Blood Slaughtering King, he could still feel a faint trace of pressure, but it was still within his tolerance range.
"Little friend Chu, first of all, I would like to thank you for taking action and killing the sword demon Feng Wuyi." Blood Slaughter King said, "Otherwise, by the time we return, the five great cities might have already been conquered. At that time, even if we kill Sword Demon Feng Wuyi, the losses will be great."
"It's just a coincidence." Chu Mu said, "Senior, I'm afraid you didn't call me here for this matter."
"That's just one of the things. There's another thing." The Blood Slaughterer King said, "However, these two matters have something in common. They are related to the safety of the five great cities."
"Senior, please speak clearly." Chu Mu said.
"The danger Sword Demon Feng Wuyi brought to the five great cities is relatively small, because we can resolve it as long as we return. However, as for the latter, even if the seven of us work together, it will still be difficult to resolve," the Blood Slaughtering King said with a serious expression. Tu Qianjun and Chu Mu also felt the severity of the problem.
If even the seven kings couldn't resolve it, how big was the danger?
"Senior, if even the seven kings can't resolve it, what ability do I have?" Chu Mu said. It wasn't that he was looking down on himself. At the very least, his current strength couldn't compare to any of the Kings, let alone the seven of them working together.
"The current you obviously doesn't have the ability." The Blood Slaughtering King was very direct. "However, little friend Chu's Yuan Qi cultivation is at the late stage of the Ninth Celestial Layer, and your saint body is at the late stage of the Eighth Celestial Layer, right? Your true strength has probably already surpassed the Bright Yang Realm and is infinitely close to the King Realm. If your Yuan Qi cultivation reaches the peak of the Ninth Celestial Layer and your saint body reaches the Ninth Celestial Layer, then perhaps you'll have the strength of a King Realm."
As he spoke, the Blood Slaughtering King suddenly looked very emotional.
"I've seen countless monstrous geniuses, but I've never seen anyone like little friend Chu, who can be called the number one monstrous genius since ancient times. No one can compare to you."
"Senior, you're overpraising me. However, I'm not sure if I'll have the strength of a King Realm after breaking through." Chu Mu said, "Moreover, it's easier to raise Yuan Qi cultivation, but it's too difficult to raise the cultivation of a Saint Body."
"Little friend Chu, I've called you here to talk about this. Naturally, I have a way to raise your cultivation," the Blood Slaughtering King said. "However, I hope that after you raise your cultivation and have the strength of a King Realm expert, you can work together with the seven of us to resolve the danger."
"I'll try my best." Chu Mu said. He didn't know what the danger was, but he knew that it wasn't easy to raise his strength to the level of a peerless expert. With the help of a peerless expert, it would naturally be much faster.
This was an opportunity. With opportunities came dangers. It was very normal. There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
"Alright." The Blood Slaughtering King smiled.
"Senior, a King Realm expert is a peerless expert, right?" Chu Mu asked. He wanted to confirm.
After all, he had always thought that a King Realm expert was equivalent to a peerless expert. When the Blood Slaughtering King said that, he didn't mention a peerless expert.
"I forgot that little friend Chu came from the outside world." The Blood Slaughtering King said, "In the outside world, a King Realm expert from the Land of Exile is indeed called a peerless expert."
"Senior, can you explain to me the difference between a peerless expert and a Saint Realm expert?" Chu Mu asked again.
In the past, his strength was too far away from that of a peerless expert. Knowing too much wouldn't do him any good. But now, it was different. His strength was infinitely close to that of a peerless expert. Just one more step and he would step into the realm of a peerless expert. Of course, it was only his strength that had stepped into the realm of a peerless expert. However, knowing more about a peerless expert was always beneficial.
Right now, there was a good opportunity.
"Little friend Chu, do you know why there are only seven Kings in the Land of Exile? There has never been an eighth King?" The Blood Slaughtering King asked. However, Chu Mu didn't know about this matter.
"The seven Kings are an inheritance. Without a suitable inheritance, it's impossible for others to become a King Realm expert." The Blood Slaughtering King smiled bitterly, "The inheritance of the seven Kings can only be passed on to one person at a time. After the inheritance, a new seven Kings will appear. The previous seven Kings won't appear again. They will go into seclusion in order to improve themselves. However, after countless years of inheritance, the previous seven Kings didn't seem to have made any progress."
"Could it be that to become a peerless expert, one must pass on an inheritance?" Chu Mu frowned. He thought of the peerless experts in the Deep Blue World. There was no such thing as an inheritance.
"No, the reason why the seven Kings need an inheritance is because their cultivation techniques are incomplete. They can only rely on an inheritance to become a peerless expert." The Blood Slaughtering King said, "The difference between a peerless expert and a Saint lies in the refinement of the power of law. There's a saying called the Nine Stars of the Saint Realm, the Five Refinements of the Peerless Realm. As the name implies, a Saint Realm expert is divided into nine stars and nine levels. A peerless expert is divided into five refinements and five levels."
"With a suitable cultivation technique, one can raise their cultivation to the peak of the Nine Heavenly Layers of the Aeon and refine their Yuan Force to the limit. Then, they can use their Yuan Force to refine the power of law they have comprehended, making it purer and more condensed. After refining it once, the power of law will undergo a qualitative change. Stepping into the realm of a peerless expert is called the First Refinement. The second refinement is called the Second Refinement, and the Fifth Refinement is the pinnacle."
"A Saint Realm expert's Yuan Force is the main and the laws are secondary. However, a peerless expert's Yuan Force is the main and Yuan Force is secondary. After the Fifth Refinement, the Yuan Force is completely integrated into the laws." The Blood Slaughtering King continued, "The difference between each refinement of a peerless expert is huge. After each refinement, the difficulty will increase by several folds. Without enough talent, perseverance, and luck, it will be difficult to succeed."
Hearing the Blood Slaughtering King's explanation, Chu Mu finally understood that the difference between a peerless expert and a Saint Realm expert was so obvious.
Yuan Force, laws!
"If I continue to develop like this, if I become a great emperor or holy emperor, will I also use laws as the main source of power?" Chu Mu guessed silently before tossing this thought aside.
Although a peerless expert was close at hand, there was still a huge gap between them. Breaking through wasn't that easy, let alone a Great Emperor or a Saint Emperor who was above a peerless expert.
Moreover, a peerless expert had the Fifth Refinement. Each refinement was more difficult than the last. How many peerless experts had reached the First Refinement but were unable to break through to the Second Refinement?
"I wonder which refinement the Seventh King has reached?" Chu Mu thought. However, he didn't say it out loud. After all, this was someone else's secret. If he rashly asked about it, it might cause the other party to dislike him.
"Little friend Chu, do you have any other questions?" The Blood Slaughtering King was very polite.
A genius like Chu Mu, whose cultivation hadn't reached the peak of the Saint Realm, but whose strength was already infinitely close to the King Realm, was simply unprecedented. Although it was due to the fact that he cultivated both the Yuan Force Dao and the Saint Physique Dao, it was still very shocking. Once the Yuan Force Dao and the Saint Physique Dao both reached the peak of the Saint Realm, he would definitely possess the strength of a King Realm expert. Once such a person reached the peak of the Saint Realm, his strength would be even more unimaginable.
Such a person had a boundless future. It was worth befriending.
Of course, this was also because the Blood Slaughtering King was broad-minded. Not everyone was broad-minded. Narrow-Minded people would be jealous of a monstrous genius like Chu Mu. They might even kill him without hesitation.
Life was full of different things. Everyone had their own personality and differences.
"Not for the time being. Thank you, Senior, for clearing my doubts." Chu Mu saluted. Perhaps, when he returned to the Deep Blue World and the True Sword Sect, he would be able to find the senior elder and ask him everything. However, that was a matter for many years in the future.
"Since that's the case, Qianjun, bring Little friend Chu to the Essence Blood Pool to cultivate. Do your best to increase your strength within three years," said the Blood Slaughtering King.
