(Thanks to "Boundless Sea and Sky 1226", "God ~ Give Me a Girl", and "Zhaozhaomu 0572" for the monthly votes. Chu Mu is finally about to break through to the next realm. How delightful!)
Forty percent of the concept of wind!
Thirty percent of the concept of cloud!
Thirty percent of the concept of metal!
Beginner level of sword force!
These were the things that Chu Mu had with him. They were his true strength. Up until now, no one had been able to make him use all of his strength and trump cards.
"My sword qi cultivation is at the peak of the half-step Qi Transformation Realm. I'm only a step away from the true Qi Transformation Realm. However, I still need to make some preparations to ensure that when I break through, I can raise the concept of cloud and metal to forty percent. It would be best if I could raise the concept of wind a bit as well."
Chu Mu announced that he was going into seclusion and refused all interruptions. As a result, the people of the Outer Palace began to speculate. In the end, they all believed that not long after Huangfu Shenglong and the other two, another person was about to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm.
"Could it be that Chu Mu's concept has already reached thirty percent?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Are you stupid? If it's not thirty percent, with Chu Mu's talent, would he be so reckless?" someone immediately said with disdain.
"You're the stupid one. How can you be so sure that Chu Mu is going into seclusion to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm?"
"If I say you don't understand, then you don't understand. I'm too lazy to explain."
"I didn't think that the cold-faced man was already preparing to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm." Huangfu Feiyan's small face was filled with contemplation. Soon after, she clapped her hands. "No, this time I can't lose to him no matter what. I have to enter the Qi Transformation Realm before him."
As she spoke, Huangfu Feiyan also announced that she was going into seclusion.
"Big Brother and Little Swallow have already announced that they're going into seclusion. It seems that they're preparing to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm. My concept of power is not far from thirty percent. Then I'll also go into seclusion and focus on comprehending the concept of power. I'll try to reach thirty percent as soon as possible and then prepare to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm," Huangfu Kuang muttered to himself.
It was as if a new wave of cultivation craze had started, and seclusion was the trend.
There was nothing special about Chu Mu's seclusion.
Although his sword Qi was already extremely pure, it still needed to be refined. At the same time, he also needed to adjust his mental state so that his essence, qi, and spirit could reach their peak.
Only when everything was adjusted to its peak state would it be the best time to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm. Otherwise, if it was too early or too slow, it would have an impact.
Two days. Chu Mu only used two days to adjust his condition.
His Upper Elemental Sword Qi was originally very pure, and it could be adjusted with a little bit of adjustment. Because of his unusually strong soul power, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit could be adjusted very quickly, and his Qi and blood were vigorous.
"It's time to break through to the Qi Transformation stage," Chu Mu muttered to himself as he sat down on the second floor of the Sword Gauntlet and began channeling the Shangyuan Sword Qi Art.
Breaking through from the Sword Qi realm to the Qi Transformation realm was a transition from the Houtian realm to the Xiantian realm. It was quite difficult.
However, every swordsman had already experienced that feeling when they broke through to the ninth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. It left a slight impression in their hearts and became an entry point for them to break through.
The more talented a person was, the easier it was for them to find an entry point. Naturally, it would be easier for them to break through.
For example, Chu Mu's seventh-grade cultivation talent was very ordinary in the Sword Mansion. However, in other aspects, he was not ordinary at all.
According to what Chu Mu had learned during this period of time, there were two ways to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm.
The first way was to first transform one's Houtian Sword Qi into Xiantian Sword Qi, and then refine one's body to successfully break through to the Qi Transformation Realm.
The second way was to first expel one's Houtian Sword Qi from one's body, and then use the external Spiritual Qi to refine one's body. After that, one would absorb the external Spiritual Qi into one's body and refine it into Xiantian Sword Qi.
These two methods were not necessarily better or worse, but the order was different.
However, the first method required a longer time, and it was steady and steady. The second method was more efficient, but it was best if one already had a streak of Xiantian Sword Qi in their Dantian as a primer.
Chu Mu had already made his choice after understanding this.
The Origin Sword Qi flowed rapidly in his meridians. When the speed of the Sword Qi reached a perfect balance, Chu Mu's mind flashed, and he subconsciously ejected the Origin Sword Qi from his body.
Whooshing sounds could be heard as streaks of white arrows shot out from Chu Mu's body in all directions. They were extremely fast, sharp, and ferocious. Chu Mu seemed to have turned into a hedgehog.
These Sword Qi were all Houtian Sword Qi, and they dissipated into the air.
Subsequently, Chu Mu used the method of controlling the Sword Qi to gather the surrounding Spiritual Qi, and began to nourish and refine his body.
External sword aura originally had the effect of nourishing the body. Although the effects weren't immediate, it was long-lasting and gentle. It was like the silent spring rain that moistened everything. At this moment, Chu Mu's body was even purer than other half step Qi Transformation peak swordsmen.
Spiritual Qi flowed slowly in his body, and a mixture of black and scarlet filth was expelled little by little from his pores. A foul stench immediately filled the air.
In a mere six hours, Chu Mu had completed the steps of refining his body with Spiritual Qi. After refining his body, regardless of whether it was strength, reaction, or explosive power, they all had obvious improvements. The toughness of his meridians had also increased by a lot, and they were now able to withstand the impact of Xiantian Sword Qi.
With a thought, the only Xiantian Sword Qi hidden in his dantian immediately flowed out of his dantian and circulated in his meridians. His meridians did not feel the slightest bit of pain.
In a split second, the Spiritual Qi of the outside world surged in from every pore on Chu Mu's body. All the Spiritual Qi within the Sword Gauntlet was immediately gathered, and the Spiritual Qi outside the Sword Gauntlet also surged rapidly, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
Very quickly, an unceasingly spinning cyclone appeared in the sky above the fifth Sword Gauntlet, crazily absorbing the Spiritual Qi flowing in from all directions. The cyclone's range grew larger and larger, and its color became darker and denser.
"That's the fifth Sword Gauntlet …"
"The Sword Gauntlet Chu Mu lives in … Is he also about to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm?"
For a moment, the entire Outer House was once again alarmed. A large number of students left their Sword Gauntlets and gathered a few hundred meters away from the fifth Sword Gauntlet, staring at the cyclone above the fifth Sword Gauntlet.
"What a huge cyclone. It looks like it's at least forty meters."
"It's indeed huge, but it's still not as big as Huangfu Shenglong and the other two."
"Whether it's comparable or not, we'll know in the end. Look, that cyclone is rapidly growing."
The airflow turned into a wind, blowing everyone's black hair and clothes into a mess. They all narrowed their eyes and stared at the cyclone above the Sword Gauntlet that was gradually condensing into a Spiritual Qi vortex.
"It's already fifty meters. It's not inferior to any of Huangfu Shenglong and the other two."
"It seems to be still expanding."
"In the past hundred years, when the Outer House students broke through to the Qi Transformation Realm, the largest Spiritual Qi vortex was seventy meters. I wonder how many meters Chu Mu's Spiritual Qi vortex can grow to?"
"I wonder if Chu Mu can break another record and create a new one."
Therefore, many students were looking forward to it.
"This cold-faced man actually broke it earlier than me." In the fourth Sword Gauntlet, Huangfu Feiyan had an unhappy expression and clenched her fists in indignation.
"Big Brother is about to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm. Judging from the momentum, he's not inferior to Big Brother Shenglong," Huangfu Kuang said inwardly.
The Spiritual Qi vortex continued to expand … sixty meters …
Under everyone's gazes, the Spiritual Qi vortex expanded to seventy meters …
The violent wind blew, forcing the students who were a few hundred meters away from the fifth Sword Gauntlet to retreat another two hundred meters. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to stand firm.
"Seventy meters!"
"Chu Mu has already tied the highest record in the past hundred years."
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Why do I feel that the whirlpool of spiritual energy is still expanding? "Someone rubbed his eyes with all his strength, causing them to turn red as he spoke with a face full of astonishment.
"No … it's not your eyes playing tricks on you. The Spiritual Qi vortex is still expanding …"
"Chu Mu … is Chu Mu going to create a new record?"
Everyone was extremely excited and looking forward to it. Their breathing became hurried and their faces flushed red.
Eighty meters … the Spiritual Qi vortex was still expanding …
Ninety meters … the Spiritual Qi vortex paused for a moment before expanding again. However, the speed of expansion was getting slower and slower, like a snail.
"Nine … nine … ninety … meters …" The person who spoke was stuttering and his voice was constantly trembling.
Rumbling sounds continued to shake the surroundings. The terrifying storm had already covered a kilometer around the fifth Sword Gauntlet. Everyone had no choice but to retreat a kilometer away.
The Sword Gauntlet was in the center of the storm, making people very worried that it would be swept away. However, the seal displayed an extremely powerful force and forcibly blocked the storm that was terrifying enough to kill an ordinary Qi Transformation Realm swordsman. It didn't budge at all.
The Spiritual Qi vortex had a whirlpool that poured into the Sword Gauntlet like a cone. As the Spiritual Qi vortex spun crazily, the purest part of the Spiritual Qi was rapidly condensed and poured into the Sword Gauntlet along the cone, where it was absorbed by Chu Mu.
With a strand of Xiantian Sword Qi as a guide, Chu Mu quickly absorbed the pure Spiritual Qi that filled the entire Sword Gauntlet. The Spiritual Qi was quickly converted into Xiantian Sword Qi in his meridians, causing the Xiantian Sword Qi to become more and more vigorous.
Time slowly passed. The Spiritual Qi vortex had expanded to a hundred meters in size and completely stabilized.
As if the end of the world had arrived, the Spiritual Qi in the entire Outer Palace became turbulent and turned into gusts of wind that blew over.
No matter where one was in the Outer Palace, one could clearly see the huge Spiritual Qi vortex in the sky with just a slight raise of their head. The entire Spiritual Qi vortex was a dense greyish-white color, as if it was spinning the entire sky.
"A hundred meters …" Under the gale, even the sound changed.
For a moment, the people who stared at the huge Spiritual Qi vortex couldn't tell what they were feeling.
Excitement? Anticipation? Envy? Excitement? Or bitterness? Disappointment?
In short, they felt as if they had flipped open a bottle of five different flavors. It was abnormally complicated.
The sky became darker and darker. It was as heavy and oppressive as the storm before it arrived. It was almost suffocating … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
