Other than the Seven Kings and Chu Mu, no one else knew that they had survived a huge crisis.
After the Seven Kings returned, they did not go back on their words. The news quickly spread, once again causing a commotion in the five cities and dozens of camps.
The Eighth King!
Since ancient times, there had only been Seven Kings in the Land of Exile. Generation after generation, there had been many outstanding people who had worked hard to become the Eighth King, but no one had succeeded.
Now, there was news of the Eighth King. Moreover, it came from the mouth of the Seven Kings, including the Lords of the five cities, the General of the Flowing Light Army, and King Xuanmiao. It was not a rumor.
With the status of the Seven Kings, they would not spread rumors at all. In other words, the Eighth King really existed and had appeared.
The second piece of news.
King Peerless Chu Mu!
In fact, the two pieces of news could be considered one, because the so-called Eighth King was King Peerless Chu Mu.
"Peerless Sword Star … King Peerless …"
"I knew that he would definitely become a King one day, but I did not expect it to be so fast."
"The Eighth King, the ultimate glory."
"The most important thing is not the Eighth King, but King Peerless, the King Peerless recognized by the Seven Kings."
The word 'Peerless' had a very deep meaning. It represented the pinnacle, the meaning that no one could reach. The Six Great Stars were all monsters and proud people. However, in the end, they all acknowledged Chu Mu's title of Peerless Sword Star from the bottom of their hearts. And now, the Seven Kings had unanimously acknowledged the title of Peerless King. This meant that Chu Mu could very well become the head of the Eight Kings, and be the champion of the Land of Exile.
Above millions of people, the ultimate glory.
…
In the blink of an eye, another five years had passed since Chu Mu and the Seven Kings worked together to kill the Gold Sinner King and resolve the crisis in the Land of Exile.
The 30-year deadline was getting closer and closer. There were less than three years left.
Chu Mu's body was filled with extremely powerful Blood Qi. It was like a ten-thousand-year-old volcano that did not erupt, but once it did, the power would shake the world and destroy everything.
After cultivating in the Essence Blood Pool, Chu Mu's Saintly Body had advanced to the middle stage of Level Nine. The remaining time was not enough for him to break through to the late stage of Level Nine.
As for his Yuan Qi cultivation, it was no surprise that he had reached the peak of the Aeon Ninth Heavenly Layer. However, this peak wasn't the limit. He still needed to purify and refine his Yuan Qi. This was a step that every cultivator had to go through. Therefore, a Peak Nine-Star Saint who had just broken through and a Peak Nine-Star Saint who had been accumulating Yuan Qi for dozens of years might not have the same amount of Yuan Qi. However, there was a clear difference in the purity of their Yuan Qi.
Refining and purifying elemental energy would be a relatively long process.
In fact, the Way of the Divine Body was the same. After reaching the peak of Level Nine, it also needed to undergo tempering. It was the same for the Way of the Primordial Spirit.
"There are still more than two years left. Let's continue to settle." Chu Mu raised his head and looked at the sky. Today was a rare day of good weather. The sky was a rare shade of azure blue and white clouds floated in the sky.
Chu Mu planned to properly refine the Divine Wilderness Sword Origin for more than two years. Now that his Yuan Qi cultivation had reached the peak of the Sacred Grade, the Dragon Yuan Pill could only replenish his Yuan Qi.
"Way of the Divine Body … Middle stage of Level Nine … It's still too far away." Chu Mu thought to himself.
In terms of strength, the current him had increased a lot from the foundation of a First Refinement Exceptional Expert. This was brought about by his Yuan Qi cultivation rising from the late stage of the Aeon Ninth Heavenly Layer to the peak. It was also brought about by the Divine Body's cultivation rising from the early stage of Level Nine to the middle stage of Level Nine. However, it was still at the First Refinement Level.
"First Refinement? It's still not enough." Chu Mu thought to himself.
To return to the Deep Blue World and fight against many forces, such as the Imperial Court and the Sky Tribe, the strength of a First Refinement Exceptional Expert wasn't enough. He needed to be even stronger.
But now, there wasn't enough time. It wasn't that easy to increase his strength again. Also, because of the increase in strength, some of his trump cards had lost their usefulness. For example, the Silver Divine Equipment and the Demon Vanquishing Vambrace.
The stronger one was, the fewer treasures that could increase one's strength. In other words, the rarer the treasures were. If he wanted to become stronger, he had to start from himself.
That was the truth. Chu Mu couldn't be anxious. He grasped the air with his right hand. A wisp of silver-white aura filled with astonishing sharpness spread out and turned into a silver-white sword.
The thin sword body was silver-white. It was like a mirror that reflected everything. Chu Mu's wrist trembled slightly. The sword in his hand immediately turned into an incomparably sharp silver light. It ignored all changes in resistance. The Sword Light was ice-cold, as if it could cut through everything.
Spiritual Sword Silver Light!
This Spiritual Sword was chosen by Chu Mu from the Silver King's collection. It was a Middle Rank Spiritual Sword that focused on sharpness.
The Blazing Brilliance Spiritual Sword's body and spirituality were damaged. It was equivalent to being crippled. The second Spiritual Sword was also set aside because the new sword intent hadn't been completely formed. In order to better unleash his strength, Chu Mu could only grasp a new Spiritual Sword and use it with the Eternal Spiritual Sword to better perform the Dual Sword Technique.
The grade of the Silver Light Spiritual Sword was about the same as the Blazing Brilliance Spiritual Sword. However, the difference between the two was that the Blazing Brilliance Spiritual Sword contained the power of flames and its attack power was more violent. On the other hand, the Silver Light Spiritual Sword's power was very sharp and its cutting power was astonishing. Both of them had their strengths.
With the Spiritual Sword Silver Light in his hand, Chu Mu immediately began to cultivate his sword technique.
"Young Master, the Villa Master of the Hegemon Sword Villa is here to visit." A figure came to the backyard. It was the little maid, Lin Biruo.
Compared to five years ago, Lin Biruo's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. This was the result of her own hard work and the biggest reason was Chu Mu's nurturing.
From the moment she firmly became Chu Mu's maid, it was destined that she would be extraordinary in the future. At least, she wouldn't be the same as before. She wouldn't develop in the same way as before.
With Chu Mu's current status, there were too many people who wanted to curry favor with him. If Chu Mu wanted to get some elixirs, it was a very simple matter. These elixirs were almost useless to him. It was just right for Lin Biruo to consume and refine them. With Chu Mu around, Lin Biruo would be in no danger while refining the elixirs.
The current Lin Biruo exuded an aura that made people know that she was no longer the little maid of the early Seventh Sky of Wangu five years ago. She was a young genius expert whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Eighth Sky of Wangu.
"What's the matter?" Asked Chu Mu as he practiced his sword. Ever since the title of King Peerless spread out, there would always be people who came to visit him.
It could be said that everyone came to curry favor with him. He was a new King, and a very young one at that. They believed that his future was limitless. He was even better than the seven Kings.
However, Chu Mu didn't meet most of them. Instead, he let Lin Biruo, the Waning Moon Sword Saint, and the Rock Sword Saint receive them. After all, Kings had their statuses. They couldn't be met just because they wanted to. It wasn't that Chu Mu was putting on airs, but that he didn't want to waste time.
"He said that he just obtained a kind of Essence of Heaven and Earth," said Lin Biruo. As an excellent maid, she knew what Chu Mu wanted. Of course, Chu Mu had also revealed this idea before. At one point, many people had started to search for Essence of Heaven and Earth.
However, there was too little Essence of Heaven and Earth in the Land of Exile. Until now, no one had been able to take it out.
"Let him in," said Chu Mu. His expression changed. He stopped practicing and ordered.
"Yes, Young Master." Lin Biruo quickly retreated.
Soon, Lin Biruo came in again. There were two people behind her. One was a middle-aged man. He was tall and strong. If he was in front of others, he would definitely have the demeanor of an overlord. However, when he saw Chu Mu, he was as obedient as a little sheep. The other person was a child of eight or nine years old. He had clear eyes and looked very lively.
"Hegemon Sword Villa's Villa Master Wei Wuji and his son Wei Wudao greet King Peerless." When they saw Chu Mu, they immediately bowed.
"No need to be so polite. You said that you have Essence of Heaven and Earth. What kind is it?" Asked Chu Mu. Essence of Heaven and Earth was incomparably precious. However, to Chu Mu, there was a difference between important and unimportant.
"Reporting to King Peerless, it's the Frost Spirit," replied Wei Wuji. He stretched out his palm. A ball of white Frost Qi was spinning on his palm. It emitted a shocking chill and instantly froze the surrounding air. Chu Mu's eyes lit up.
"What's the exchange?" asked Chu Mu.
"I hope that my son Wei Wudao can enter King Peerless's tutelage to learn the sword," said Wei Wuji. That child had been looking at Chu Mu with anticipation.
Chu Mu glanced at Wei Wudao. Light flickered in his eyes and he nodded. This child seemed to be quite intelligent. He might be a good seedling. However, he still had to make things clear.
"I can accept him as my disciple and teach him the sword. However, the time limit is only two years." Chu Mu said. Because two years later, it would be thirty years. At that time, he would have to leave the Land of Exile and return to the Deep Blue World.
"Master, please accept three kowtows from your disciple." Wei Wudao was very quick-witted. He immediately took three steps forward and quickly knelt down in front of Chu Mu. He kowtowed three times in an instant. Each kowtow was loud and full of sincerity.
"King Peerless, please take care of my son," said Wei Wuji emotionally. He respectfully handed over the Frost Spirit with both hands.
Chu Mu didn't hold back and immediately grabbed the Frost Spirit and put it away. Promptly, he looked at Wei Wu Dao and said: "Get up. Counting things, you are your master's second disciple. However, perhaps you will never have the chance to meet your eldest senior brother."
His tone was somewhat emotional as he thought of the Ancient Sword Continent.
Very soon, the news of Wei Wudao becoming Chu Mu's disciple spread. Chu Mu also planned to hold a ceremony and invited the seven kings to participate.
Many people were envious of Wei Wudao. They also knew how Wei Wudao became King Peerless's disciple. Therefore, they were even more enthusiastic about the search for the essence of Heaven and Earth.
Time flew. Very soon, two years had passed. The thirty year time limit was up. Chu Mu also left Bloodbath City after giving some instructions. He was leaving the Land of Exile and leaving behind a legend.
