Chu Mu had always thought of Saint Sovereigns and Saint Emperors as equals. Only now did he know that Saint Sovereigns were Saint Sovereigns and Saint Emperors were Saint Emperors. They were two completely different concepts.
Saint Sovereigns were called Fifth Refinement Exceptional Experts. Exceptional Experts used their Yuan Qi to refine the laws. However, Saint Emperors had already surpassed that level and were exploring the Great Dao. The Deep Blue World was declining day by day. That was because the Great Dao was declining. It could no longer support the Saint Emperors. Even the Saint Emperors' every action would have an obvious impact. Therefore, the Saint Emperors had no choice but to enter seclusion to break through to a higher level and leave the Deep Blue World.
Therefore, this era was called the era where Saint Emperors did not appear.
This was a secret that was passed down among the Exceptional Experts. The majority of First Refinement Exceptional Experts did not know about it. Only those Exceptional Experts who had lived long enough would know about it.
"Although the six of you can enter the Ice Palace, you do not walk the Dao of Ice. Therefore, you cannot obtain my inheritance." Holy Master Ice's virtual image continued, "However, since you can enter the Ice Palace, even if you are destined to be with me, I can't let you go back empty-handed. However, what kind of opportunity you can get depends on your own abilities."
After saying that, the eyes of Saint Sovereign Ice's consciousness image lit up. Two rays of icy-blue light shot out. Immediately, an icy-blue vortex appeared before everyone.
"Go in. What kind of fortune you can obtain will depend on your luck." Saint Sovereign Ice's consciousness image disappeared after saying that.
"Do you want to go in?" Lei Ba looked at the blue vortex, then looked at the others and asked.
"Let's go in." Feng Wuhen said. He immediately stepped forward and entered the blue vortex.
They couldn't get the inheritance of Saint Venerable Ice, because Saint Venerable Ice's consciousness had said very clearly that the inheritance was for cultivators of the Dao of Ice, and they weren't.
However, even if it was given to them, whether they would accept it or not was another matter. Now that there were other fortunes, they obviously had to obtain them.
What was the purpose of entering the secret realm? Of course, it was to obtain fortunes and increase one's strength.
Now that the fortune was right in front of them, what was the point of not obtaining it?
After WindWithoutTrace stepped into the blue vortex, the others followed suit.
The moment Chu Mu stepped in, he felt as though he was shuttling through time and space. Countless streams of blue light swirled before his eyes. After that, the scenery changed again. Chu Mu appeared in a strange mountain valley. Other than him, the other five people were not here. Maybe they had their own opportunities and appeared in other places.
He quickly scanned the surroundings of the valley. The valley didn't look very big, and he could see the end of it with a single glance. It was strange because the valley seemed to be divided into two halves by an invisible force. One half was lush with grass and trees, full of vitality, while the other half was dry and cracked, full of sand and rocks, full of death.
"Life and Death Split …" Chu Mu frowned slightly. His Divine Sense spread out and encapsulated the entire valley.
Half was filled with life, while the other half was filled with deathly stillness. The contrast was very obvious. Other than using his soul power to sense, Chu Mu also walked back and forth. He walked into the place filled with life and felt the powerful life force, then walked into the place filled with deathly stillness.
He walked back and forth a few times, scanning with his Divine Sense, but he did not find any treasures.
Chu Mu frowned, but he was not willing to give up.
Just like Saint Sovereign Ice's consciousness image had said, the fortune one could obtain depended on one's own ability. Luck also played a part in one's ability.
This valley was so strange. Half of it was alive, half of it was dead. There must be some treasure in it. It was just that Chu Mu had not found it yet.
"Calm down, there's no need to rush," Chu Mu said to himself. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
The sound of his heartbeat became very clear. His thoughts gradually spread out along with the power of his soul. His breathing also became more and more subtle. Finally, it disappeared. Time passed slowly. Chu Mu gradually felt as if he had become one with the surrounding air. As the air spread out, he gradually became one with the valley.
Everything in the valley was under his control in great detail.
It felt like his thoughts were gradually penetrating deeper into the valley. Half an hour later, everything in the valley was under Chu Mu's control.
In the half of the Life Force, there was a dense Life Force. In the other half of the Deathly Stillness, there was a shocking Deathly Stillness. Moreover, these two forces carried a kind of sharpness, a sharpness that belonged to a sword.
"Come out!"
With a loud shout, sound waves spread out, overlapping each other, directly attacking the life force and silence hidden in the depths of the valley.
Under the influence of Chu Mu's power, the two forces hidden in the valley suddenly appeared and floated in the air. The two forces were in the shape of swords, about the size of a finger. One was green, full of vitality, while the other was grey, full of deathly stillness.
Chu Mu's gaze immediately fell on the two small sword shadows.
"Come!" With a low roar, Chu Mu extended his hand and grabbed at the air. Under his powerful strength, he immediately grabbed the sword image brimming with vitality. However, the sword image struggled and instantly broke free from Chu Mu's hand. With a flash of light, it slashed out a sword aura.
Cyan colored Sword Qi, carrying an incomparably dense life force, shot towards Chu Mu. That Sword Qi instantly transformed into a cyan lotus. Its petals bloomed wave after wave, and every time it bloomed, a wave of Sword Qi would shoot out in all directions. A portion of it would shoot towards Chu Mu, filling the entire valley.
Chu Mu attacked, continuously shattering the sword aura. However, the green lotuses continued to blossom, as if there was no limit. Wave after wave of sword aura continuously shot out in a continuous and endless manner.
At the same time, the sword shadow that was filled with deathly stillness also pierced through the void, shooting out a greyish white Sword Qi. There was only one Sword Qi, but it carried a shocking deathly intent. It was capable of destroying everything in the world. Even the void could not resist it. Chu Mu's body tensed up and his hair stood on end.
"Endless vitality … deathly stillness … what a terrifying power." Chu Mu was not afraid. Instead, he was excited.
Because the stronger it was, the more useful it would be after he subdued it.
"Blood Prison Burning Heaven!"
"Sword Domain Change!"
Using the two secret skills, his strength immediately increased. He slashed out with both swords, and his terrifying power shattered the grey-white deathly still Sword Qi. He then shattered the green Sword Qi, and the two swords crossed, unleashing the Heaven and Earth Cross Slash. The resplendent cross-shaped sword light tore apart the green lotus, causing it to shatter.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Mu attacked with all his strength. Two rays of Sword Aura shot out and separately attacked the two sword images. His figure flashed and he used Sword Aura Shadow. He immediately appeared beside the cyan colored sword image and grabbed it with one hand.
A powerful force gathered in his palm and grabbed the sword shadow. The green sword shadow instantly exploded with a tyrannical power, trying to shake off Chu Mu's palm. However, Chu Mu was already prepared. He used all his strength and used a power dissipation technique to dissipate the power of the sword shadow and capture it.
His body flashed again and he appeared beside the grey sword shadow. Using the same method, he grabbed the grey sword shadow with his left hand.
Chu Mu grabbed the two sword shadows. All resistance was dissipated by him. They could not escape.
"Suppress!"
Without any hesitation, Chu Mu exploded with power again and used the second level of Sword God's Descent to suppress the two sword shadows.
The power turned into streaks and wrapped around the two sword shadows. They lost all resistance and could not move at all.
"Congratulations, destined one. You have obtained the Life and Death Sword Spirits." Holy Sovereign Ice's voice suddenly sounded in the sky above the valley. However, there was only Chu Mu in the valley.
"Life and Death Sword Spirits …" Chu Mu repeated.
"The Life and Death Sword Spirits are a Unique Treasure that I have obtained. They are a set of Unique Treasures. Among the various treasures that I have collected, they are in the top three." Holy Sovereign Ice's voice sounded again. "The Life and Death Sword Spirits can be refined into a Spiritual Sword to increase the power of the Spiritual Sword. You can also comprehend powerful sword moves from the Life and Death Sword Spirits. The two Spiritual Swords that have been refined into the Life and Death Sword Spirits can cooperate with each other and become even more mysterious. However, you must remember that the Life and Death Sword Spirits can only be refined once."
Chu Mu listened attentively. He heard every word that Holy Sovereign Ice said clearly and could understand it.
"According to what Holy Sovereign Ice said, the Life and Death Sword Spirits were prepared for me." Chu Mu thought.
The Life and Death Sword Spirits were two Sword Spirits. If he wanted to refine them, he had to refine them into two Spiritual Swords. Furthermore, after refining the Life and Death Sword Spirits, not only would the Spiritual Swords become more powerful, but the combination of the two Spiritual Swords would also become more mysterious.
Among sword cultivators, most of them used a single sword. Very few of them used two swords. Among the sword cultivators that Chu Mu had met who used two swords, none of them had mastered the true Dual Sword Skill.
When the Life and Death Sword Spirits were refined into a Spiritual Sword, the Dual Sword Skill would be more mysterious and powerful.
However, the Life and Death Sword Spirits could only be refined once. In other words, if Chu Mu refined them now, he would not be able to separate them and refine them into other Spiritual Swords in the future.
"I have the Eternal Spiritual Sword and the Silver Light Spiritual Sword. The Eternal Spiritual Sword can be refined into a Sword Spirit. It seems a bit wasteful to refine the Silver Light Spiritual Sword's Sword Spirit." Chu Mu thought.
The Silver Light Spiritual Sword was just a temporary Spiritual Sword. When the Annihilation Sword Essence was completely formed, he could cast the Primordial Spiritual Sword Embryo that had been nurtured in his Dantian for many years into the Annihilation Spiritual Sword. That was the Spiritual Sword that Chu Mu really wanted.
"In that case, I will wait until the Annihilation Spiritual Sword is cast and then refine the Sword Spirit completely."
