(Tomorrow is the College Entrance Examination. Junior Brothers, some of you are going to take part in the College Entrance Examination. Senior Brother wishes you all the best, surpass your limits and achieve satisfactory results.)
In the Source Primordial Realm, under normal circumstances, even Eternal Realm cultivators couldn't fly in the air. This was the result of the Great Dao of the world being more complete and the spatial restraining force being stronger.
Chu Mu and He Lianyu left Flower City, each riding a Swollen Horse. The Swollen Horse was a type of horse. It was very tall and strong. Moreover, there was a large bump protruding from its forehead, as if it was swollen. It was very hard and comparable to a rock. Because the swollen horse had great horsepower, great speed, endurance, and a docile temperament, it was domesticated as a mount. Usually, commoners weren't qualified to ride it.
Before leaving, Chu Mu naturally told Chu Wangdao. Over the past twenty days, Chu Wangdao had handled the matters of the Sword Pavilion in an orderly manner. Although he wasn't used to it, he didn't ask him to stay. He also knew that his elder brother was only going out temporarily and would return later. He just needed to cultivate hard and manage the Sword Pavilion well.
…
Two strong black swollen horses that were more than two meters tall carried Chu Mu and He Lianyu, galloping on a wide road. Behind them was Flower City, which was full of flowers. On both sides of the road, there were many small wildflowers in full bloom.
The horses galloped and dust filled the air as they left quickly.
Within the territory of the Heavenly Star Sect, there were 36 cities as well as thousands upon thousands of villages and towns. Therefore, the population of the entire Heavenly Star Sect exceeded one billion people. The area of the Heavenly Star Sect could be considered to be extremely large and shocking.
But it was normal if one thought about it carefully. This world was one of the only three Main Worlds in the Chaotic Void. It was one of the three Main Worlds that appeared after the birth of the Chaotic Universe. After many years of development, it had become extremely large.
The thirty-six cities had a large population and a low ranking. Under normal circumstances, the higher the ranking, the larger the population. For example, Flower City had a fixed population of eight million and was ranked thirteenth among the thirty-six cities.
However, there was one city that was an exception, and it was Sword City.
Sword City, named after the sword, was a city built by sword cultivators. It was a city that belonged to sword cultivators. There were many sword cultivators in Sword City. It could be said that Sword City was a city with a good environment for sword cultivation.
There were many ways of cultivation in the Origin Realm, but the Way of the Sword was undoubtedly the most popular because swords were the most common weapons. Sword techniques were also very common combat techniques. It was easy to get started, so it was very popular. But at the same time, it was not easy to continue on the path of the Way of the Sword.
In short, practicing the sword was easy to learn but hard to master.
The population of Sword City was not like the other thirty-five cities, which had a fixed population of millions or even tens of millions. This was because the population of Sword City was passed down from generation to generation. For example, if a husband and wife were a fixed population of a certain city, their children would also be the fixed population of a certain city. Thus, with each generation, the number of children would increase.
The fixed population of Sword City was based on the level of one's sword technique. Only swordsmen had the qualifications to apply for a fixed population of Sword City, and those who became a fixed population of Sword City would be able to enjoy some benefits of Sword City.
The fixed population of Flower City could only be registered in other cities if they left Flower City's household register. But Sword City was different. As long as one's sword technique was at least at the level of a living sword, no matter which city or place one came from, one could apply for Sword City's household register. Overall, Sword City was more like an organization.
Along the way, He Lianyu explained to Chu Mu the origin and structure of Sword City and so on.
"With Brother Chu's sword technique level, it would be easy for you to get Sword City's household register. You might even be able to get a high level household register." He Lianyu smiled and said, "Moreover, although Sword City is within the territory of Heavenly Star Sect, it is the only city that is not under the jurisdiction of Heavenly Star Sect. If Brother Chu is not willing to be recruited by Heavenly Star Sect, you can get Sword City's household register. The higher the household register, the more attention you will receive from Sword City. At that time, no matter how overbearing Heavenly Star Sect is, as long as Brother Chu is not willing, they will not dare to force their way in."
"Sword City's household register is divided into levels?" Chu Mu asked.
"Of course, the living sword technique level is the most basic requirement to get Sword City's household register. But not all sword cultivators with living swords can get it. They still need to pass the test. Some sword cultivators are not good at fighting and cannot pass the test. So, as far as I know, there are less than two million people with Sword City's household register." He Lianyu continued to explain, "The higher the sword technique level, the more difficult the test you can apply for. After passing, you can get a higher level and enjoy better treatment. From the lowest level to the highest level, it is Swordsman Level, Swordsman Level, Swordsman Level, Sword Of Gojoseon Level, Sword Emperor Level. There is a more detailed division between Sword Of Gojoseon Level and Sword Emperor Level. "
Listening to He Lianyu's explanation, Chu Mu was even more curious about Sword City this time.
Less than two million people meant that there were more than one million people. It sounded like a lot, but thinking about it carefully, there were more than one billion people in Heavenly Star Sect's territory. More than one million people compared to one billion people. Including the sword cultivators who were not in Heavenly Star Sect's territory, it was a ratio of nearly one thousand to one. Among the one billion people, at least half of them were sword cultivators.
"This time, I can apply for the Swordsman Level's household register register." He Lianyu said with a smile. He was very happy because every time the Sword City's household register was increased, the treatment he enjoyed would be more obvious. "Brother Chu, with your sword technique level, you might be able to get the Sword Emperor Level's household register register."
Chu Mu just smiled. According to the levels that He Lianyu mentioned, the so-called Sword Of Gojoseon Level should correspond to the Human Realm, and the Sword Emperor Level should correspond to the Earth Realm. As for the higher Heaven Realm, he didn't know what it was called. Maybe there was, maybe there wasn't.
Chu Mu's sword technique level had stepped into the Heaven Realm and hadn't reached the Initial Level. If he wanted to, it wouldn't be a problem for him to get the Emperor Level, but he didn't plan to do so.
With his current cultivation level and age, getting the Sword Of Gojoseon Level was already an extremely shocking thing. He would be regarded as a heaven-defying genius in sword technique. However, if he got the Sword Emperor Level, it would definitely attract covetous eyes. With his current strength, he didn't have much ability to protect himself.
Appropriate concealment was for the sake of better survival.
The swollen horse galloped day and night, displaying astonishing speed and endurance. Other than eating grass, it actually galloped for three days and three nights before resting for half a day.
After resting, Chu Mu and He Lianyu didn't waste any time and continued to cultivate. Although absorbing the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth in the air had limited effects on Chu Mu's cultivation level, it was a good habit.
The thirty-six cities weren't in a straight line, but were distributed in an irregular ring shape. Therefore, the distance between Flower City and Sword City wasn't too far. The swollen horse's speed was extremely fast, so it wouldn't be a problem for it to travel ten thousand miles in a day. Therefore, after ten days, Chu Mu and He Lianyu both saw the outline of Sword City.
Sword City was a city that didn't seem to have any defenses. It wasn't surrounded by tall walls like the other thirty-five cities, but it was backed by Dragon Spine Mountain. There was a white river that was hundreds of feet wide flowing from the side. Therefore, there were only two places that could directly enter Sword City.
Looking from afar, there were many greyish black objects in Sword City. They looked like huge swords that were stabbed into the ground with their tips pointing to the sky. There were more than a hundred of them.
"Those buildings that look like swords are called Sword Pagodas. They're also common buildings in Sword City." He Lianyu introduced, "The Sword Pagodas in the center are called Divine Sword Pagodas. They're ninety-nine feet tall. Next are twelve Heaven Sword Pagodas, eighty-eight feet tall. Next are thirty-six Earth Sword Pagodas, seventy-seven feet tall. Finally, there are one hundred and eight Human Sword Pagodas, sixty-six feet tall. The other buildings can't be shaped like Sword Pagodas. They're called Sword Towers and can't exceed five hundred and fifty feet."
Looking from afar, the more than a hundred Sword Pagodas were like huge swords pointing to the sky. It was as if they wanted to use their swords to fight against the heavens. They were unyielding and unyielding, displaying the elegance of a sword cultivator. Countless Sword Pagodas set off the more than a hundred Sword Pagodas, showing off their sharpness.
Just looking from afar, Chu Mu felt that he had fallen in love with this place.
"Sword City … Perhaps, this is my true starting point in this world," Chu Mu thought to himself.
With the sword as its name, its shape, and its foundation, it was called Sword City.
This was definitely a heaven for swordsmen. Many sword cultivators yearned for this place.
The tall and swollen horse quickly approached Sword City. Stepping into Sword City from one of the two main roads, they were greeted with an ancient aura that carried traces of sharpness.
Chu Mu and He Lianyu's arrival didn't attract anyone's attention. Or rather, the people passing by casually glanced at them and ignored them. After all, although Sword City's population was the smallest out of the thirty six cities and was even smaller than the second smallest city by a few million, Sword City's population was the largest out of the thirty six cities.
Every day, there would be hundreds of thousands of people coming in and out of Sword City. Chu Mu and Helian Yu weren't important figures. To the current Sword City, they were insignificant. Naturally, no one would pay attention to them.
Sword City didn't forbid riding, but one couldn't run wildly. Otherwise, one would be expelled.
"Brother Chu, there's more than one way to obtain Primordial Stones in Sword City," Helian Yu said. "But before that, it's more convenient to obtain the registration of Sword City."
"Then let's go and obtain the registration." Chu Mu said casually. His tone was as if he had already gotten the household registration. He Lianyu didn't doubt him at all. What kind of joke was this? If even Chu Mu, with his sword technique realm, couldn't get the household registration, then there was no need for Sword City to exist.
"Yes, I also want to raise my level in Sword City," Helian Yu said. He brought Chu Mu and headed towards the so-called Household Registration Sword Tower.
The Household Registration Sword Tower was in charge of the registration of Sword City. It was five hundred and fifty feet tall and was located not far away from a Human Sword Tower. When Chu Mu and Helian Yu arrived, there were over ten people lined up outside the Household Registration Sword Tower.
