There was a huge lake with a calm surface. The deep blue color of the lake made it look like a huge sapphire embedded in the ground. It looked very magnificent from the sky.
This was Luoshui Lake, the largest lake in the Tianshui Region. It was as vast as the sea, and islands were scattered all over the place. They looked like embellishments on a sapphire.
At the center of Luoshui Lake, there was an island that was several hundred miles in length and width. It was the largest island in the entire Luoshui Lake. This island was called Luoshui Island, and around it, there were seven or eight other islands that were several dozen miles in length and width. They were all encircled.
On Luoshui Island, there were mountains and forests. The scenery was beautiful. In the center, there were many groups of palaces. This place was called Luoshui True Palace.
Luoshui True Palace was one of the top forces in the Tianshui Region. However, it was not at the top level. On the surface, the Palace Master of Luoshui True Palace was at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Aeon. The experts in charge were only at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Aeon. In reality, there were peerless experts in the Luoshui True Palace.
There was an obvious difference between the forces in the Deep Blue World and the Land of Exile. In the forces in the Deep Blue World, the person in charge wasn't usually the strongest person in the force. Those strongest people were usually in closed-door cultivation in pursuit of a higher level. As long as the force wasn't under great threat, they wouldn't appear. Instead, they would act as a deterrent. There were even some forces that had exceptional experts in charge. Very few people knew about this.
If it was not for the fact that the Wind Whispering Tower was spread throughout the Deep Blue World, they would not have known about the Luoshui True Palace.
Chu Mu flew in the air. His body and sword were one. He was like a heavenly sword sweeping across the sky. His speed was unimaginable.
In an instant, he crossed a distance of ten thousand meters and arrived above Luoshui Lake. He did not slow down at all as he flew towards Luoshui Island in the center of Luoshui Lake.
That's right. One of Chu Mu's destinations was the Luoshui True Palace.
A distance of several hundred miles was nothing to Chu Mu, who had the speed of a peerless expert. He crossed it in just a few breaths.
He did not hide his aura fluctuations at all. A powerful aura seemed to descend from the heavens. In an instant, it crashed down and covered the entire Luo Water Island. Immediately, the expressions of the cultivators on Luo Water Island changed greatly.
Luoshui Lake belonged to the Luoshui True Palace, so the cultivators on the island were naturally disciples of the Luoshui True Palace. At this moment, they felt a vast aura descending from the sky. The aura carried an astonishing sharpness, as if it was suspended in the sky.
Although this aura was very strong, it didn't cause any harm to them. It was just a pressure. Those who didn't understand didn't understand, but those who understood were incomparably shocked. This required an astonishing control of one's own aura to be able to do.
Chu Mu didn't have any enmity with the Luo River True Palace, and he wasn't a demon who would kill without batting an eyelid. There was no need for him to harm others without benefiting himself.
The palace master and elders of the Luo River True Palace flew into the sky and faced Chu Mu.
"May I know which senior has graced us with his presence?" The palace master of the Luo River True Palace was a middle-aged woman. She was still very charming. It could be seen that she must have been very beautiful when she was young. In fact, the Luo River True Palace was a sect dominated by female cultivators. The cultivation method they cultivated would subtly change one's appearance and temperament, transforming them in a better way. Therefore, it was basically impossible to find ugly women in the Luo River True Palace. It was even difficult to find ordinary women.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Mu appeared in front of them.
He was very young. This was their first impression. If they hadn't directly sensed the powerful aura emanating from him, they would have doubted it.
"The Luo River True Palace has the essence of water, right?" Chu Mu said as soon as he appeared in front of the palace master and elders.
This straightforward manner of speaking stunned everyone in the Luo River True Palace. For a moment, they didn't react. However, as they were in high positions, their reactions were naturally not slow. They immediately understood the meaning of Chu Mu's words, and their expressions changed.
"Senior, you must be joking. The essence of water is one of the essences of the power of heaven and earth. It is incomparably precious. How could our small Luo River True Palace have it?" The palace master of the Luo River True Palace said in a very sincere tone. If Chu Mu hadn't received accurate information from the Wind Tower, he would probably have been swayed by her tone and expression.
"There's no need to speak nonsense." Chu Mu replied unhurriedly, "The essence of water is useful to me, and I don't intend to take it by force. So, state your price."
Hearing Chu Mu's direct and unquestionable words, the faces of the palace master and elders of the Luo River True Palace changed drastically. The essence of water was the most precious treasure of the Luo River True Palace. It had existed for thousands of years and was closely related to the Luo River True Palace. It could be said to be extremely important.
"Senior, please don't make things difficult for us," the palace master of the Luo River True Palace said.
"I'm talking about a deal with you. If it doesn't work, I'll take it away," Chu Mu said without holding back.
If the deal didn't work, then he would take it by force. This was the decision he made when he came. In the past, he was limited by his strength. He couldn't collect the Deep Blue Divine Orbs and so on. He had many concerns. But now, he had begun to have considerable strength. Strength brought confidence. If he wanted to go one step at a time, he needed to fight for it if he wanted to go higher and see further.
As the saying went, one step ahead would lead to another step ahead.
Therefore, since he had already made up his mind, there was no need to delay.
"Senior, you are indeed powerful, but we of the Luo River True Palace are not persimmons that you can pinch as you please," an elder said with anger.
"It seems that you can't make a decision. If that's the case, let the person who can make the decision come." Chu Mu said. The index and middle fingers of his left hand formed a sword and pointed in the air. Suddenly, a Sword Light shot out, shattering the space. Wherever the light passed, the void was pierced. Nothing could stop it. The sword shot towards the highest peak of the Luo River Island.
The Sword Light was so dazzling that the upper echelons of the Luo River True Palace had to close their eyes, unable to look at it directly. The aftershock of the light spread, causing them to tremble. It was as if they were being cut by countless sword auras.
That mountain was the highest peak of the Luo River Island. Besides, it was also a forbidden area of the Luo River True Palace. Why was it a forbidden area?
The answer came out very quickly.
The Sword Light that Chu Mu pointed with his sword finger was extremely fast. It was like an aurora cutting across the sky, passing by in an instant. Its power was enough to pierce through a mountain in an instant. It could easily kill a Bright Yang Sword Saint.
With a pop, the Sword Light shot out, but it was blocked. Outside the mountain, a light blue screen of water appeared out of nowhere. Ripples spread out.
The Sword Light was completely blocked.
"Aren't you being a little too overbearing?" A gentle female voice sounded. Chu Mu could vaguely see the clear blue water and the blue sky. A cool breeze brushed past his face, and ripples overlapped.
Soon after, a figure dressed in white appeared in front of Chu Mu, like a fairy who had walked out of a painting. It seemed slow, but it was fast.
This person seemed to be even younger than the Palace Lord of the Luo River True Palace. Of course, this was only on the surface. Her actual age was much older than the Palace Lord of the Luo River True Palace.
She was the peerless powerhouse hidden in the Luo River True Palace. She was also the only peerless powerhouse in the Luo River True Palace. She lived in seclusion on the highest peak of the Luo River Island, and her strength was at the First Refinement level.
As long as she did not exceed the First Refinement level, Chu Mu was confident that he could deal with her. The current him was no longer at the First Refinement level. He was even stronger.
"It's good that you're out." Chu Mu looked at the peerless powerhouse of the Luo River True Palace and said directly, "As the strongest powerhouse of the Luo River True Palace, you should have enough authority to speak. The Essence of Water of the Luo River True Palace is mine."
As he spoke, Chu Mu released all of his aura. In the sky, the clouds moved, and an invisible sword gradually condensed. The Celestial Sword floated in the air, and its terrifying sharpness was rampant. The void around it was directly suppressed, turning into a vacuum.
Chu Mu's aura was only targeted at the peerless powerhouse of the Luo River True Palace. Hence, the others could not feel it clearly. However, when they saw the expression of the peerless powerhouse of the Luo River True Palace change drastically, as if she was facing a great enemy, they knew that this person's strength was definitely very terrifying.
The peerless powerhouse of the Luo River True Palace also released her own aura. Her aura spread out and gradually resonated with the Luo River True Palace. An illusory image of the Luo River True Palace seemed to appear behind her, suppressing the void and facing the Celestial Sword above Chu Mu's head.
The cultivation of the Luo River True Palace mainly focused on the power of water, and their weapons were also swords. However, they were not sword cultivators. However, they had extraordinary attainments in the power of water.
The power of water was limitless, but the aura of Chu Mu's Celestial Sword in the air cut through everything. Whether it was hard or soft, whether it was existence or nothingness, everything was affected. Gradually, the peerless powerhouse of the Luo River True Palace felt the pressure, and sweat appeared on her forehead.
Her strength was indeed strong, but she was only slightly stronger than a peerless powerhouse who had just entered the First Refinement. In terms of level, she was at most about the same as Chu Mu. If they really fought, the outcome of the battle would be unpredictable, and the Luo River True Palace would suffer a calamity.
"The essence of water is mine. I won't do anything. The resources inside belong to you." Chu Mu took out a space ring and flew it to the peerless powerhouse of the Luo River True Palace.
This could not be considered as robbing, but it was a forced trade.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, the peerless powerhouse of the Luo River True Palace took the space ring and looked inside. She was immediately stunned. The resources in the space ring were not very valuable, but there were a lot of them. It was enough to further enrich the resources of the Luo River True Palace. They would not have to worry about the depletion of resources for the next few decades.
In theory, it was enough to exchange the resources in the space ring for the essence of water. However, those resources were still relatively ordinary things and could barely be considered treasures. The essence of water, however, was a very precious treasure. The two were on different levels.
"Do you still need to think about it?" Chu Mu asked, his aura increasing.
