This year, Chu Mu was over 20 years old.
This year, Chu Wangdao was over 17 years old.
In this year, Chu Mu's cultivation had reached the upper stages of the Fifth Heaven of the Ancient Realm. His Dao Seeking Sword Art had reached the sixth move, the Four Directions Truth Seeking Steps had entered the second stage, and the World's End Near at Hand had also entered the second stage. His strength had increased significantly compared to a year ago.
The Truth Seeking Technique was a cultivation technique. One had to constantly cultivate in order to increase one's cultivation and progress in the Truth Seeking Technique. The Sword Seeking Technique was also created by Chu Mu himself. In theory, he had already mastered it. In essence, he had also mastered it. However, the mastery was based on his own consciousness.
In order to seize Chu Wangting's soul and occupy his body, Chu Mu needed to cultivate. Only then could he transform the theory into the control of the new body. The Dao Seeking Sword Art was undoubtedly a very profound sword art. It involved the use of essence, qi, and spirit. Therefore, it was very difficult to cultivate. If Chu Mu was not the original creator, it would be very difficult to master the first move.
Every move of the Dao Seeking Sword Art was the recollection of Chu Mu's past experiences. It was also a high degree of integration of his own strength. Therefore, the further he progressed, the deeper the use of essence, qi, and spirit, the stronger the power.
The Four Directions Truth Seeking Steps and the World's End Near at Hand were the same as the Dao Seeking Sword Art.
In this year, Chu Wangdao's cultivation had reached the fourth level of the True Realm. His sword art realm had increased to the Heart's Realm. He passed the examination and received the Sword City Token of the Sword Hero level.
In this year, the Chu Sect Sword School had developed more than ever before.
In this year, Chu Mu also learned more about the azure domain.
In this year, a palace-shaped flying boat set off from the Sun Mountain. It traveled at high speed and would pass by the Sword City.
…
"Big brother, this is an invitation. It's for you." After Chu Wangdao returned to the Sword Pavilion from his cultivation, he took out a gold-plated red card. On the card, there was a blazing sun shining brightly. Above the blazing sun, there was a sword floating in the air. It was a sword that seemed to be red but was also golden.
Chu Mu took the invitation and could feel an aura, an aura that was as hot as the sun. That aura also carried an astonishing Sword Will. It was clear that it came from a swordsman, a swordsman with superb swordsmanship.
Even before he opened it, he could already guess what was going on just by looking at the blazing sun and sword on the post and sensing the aura emanating from the post.
He opened the post and saw a line of words.
"I've heard about Jun Jianxie and I'm very curious. I'll be here tomorrow to meet you."
There were a total of sixteen words, and each word seemed to be red and gold at the same time, or perhaps red and gold intertwined. They flickered endlessly like the rays of the sun. The astonishing sword intent was as hot as the scorching sun in the sky, wantonly spreading out.
There were only sixteen words in the post, and there was no signature. However, Chu Mu already knew who this person was.
"The leader of Nanchen's Four Great Young Swordsmen, Blazing Sun Sword Saint?" Chu Mu closed the post and revealed a faint smile. The outside world thought that he was one of the Five Great Young Swordsmen of Nanchen and was given the title of Evil Sword Of Gojoseon. However, Chu Mu didn't admit it himself. After all, he was different from these people. He came from the Deep Blue World, and when he was in the Deep Blue World, his swordsmanship had already reached the Heaven Realm and he had also condensed his Sword Dao Origin.
In terms of cultivation time, Chu Mu naturally surpassed them by a lot. However, in terms of achievements, he also surpassed them by a lot. This was because geniuses like the Four Great Young Swordsmen of Nanchen would at most reach the Great Emperor Realm in the future. Their future swordsmanship would at most reach the Earth Realm. Even if they were given a hundred thousand or a million years, they wouldn't be able to improve any further. That was their limit.
Chu Mu was different. His achievements would at least reach the Dominator Realm. After reaching the Dominator Realm, he would pursue a higher realm.
Due to various reasons, Chu Mu didn't think that he was the same type of person as them. However, this didn't stop him from being interested in these geniuses. As long as one was a genius, they would definitely have something extraordinary about them. Only by having more knowledge, experience, and knowledge would one be able to climb to the peak. This had always been Chu Mu's understanding.
On the second day, a person came to the Chu Sect Sword Gallery. When this person stepped into the Sword Gallery, the sword disciples who were practicing their swordsmanship all looked over. Their expressions changed drastically. They felt that they couldn't look straight at this person because what they saw was a ball of light. It was like a blazing sun in the sky.
Light and heat were constantly being emitted from this person's body, illuminating the surroundings. It made everyone feel scorching hot and also like they were being cut by a sword. It was extremely uncomfortable.
As this person walked, the scorching heat became more and more intense. The sword also became sharper and sharper.
Suddenly, just when everyone thought that they were about to melt or be cut into pieces, a cool breeze silently blew past. Like a willow, it blew up ripples on spring water and slowly spread out. The scorching heat and the sharp edge of the sword were all blown away in an instant and disappeared without a trace. Everything seemed like an illusion.
At this moment, they could clearly see the person who had walked into the Sword Gallery. However, they could only see the back of a person wearing a golden-red robe. Behind the robe was a blazing sun rising.
"Please sit." Chu Mu gestured with his hand and smiled at the person who had walked in.
"Evil Sword Of Gojoseon. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation." The newcomer sat down without any hesitation. This was a person who looked very young. His eyebrows were black, but they fluttered in the air like two swords. In the depths of his eyes, there were traces of golden-red.
His wide golden-red robe was overflowing with light. It was like the seven-colored light of the sun was shining.
"The demeanor of the Blazing Sun Sword Saint is truly worthy of his name." Chu Mu said. "However, I believe that the Blazing Sun Sword Saint has come all the way from the Blazing Sun Mountain just to say a few words."
"Of course not. My purpose is to invite the Evil Sword Of Gojoseon to set off with us to the Azure Lands." The Blazing Sun Sword Saint laughed heartily. When he laughed, it was as though he was emitting boundless light and heat.
"The Azure Lands, the heart of the Azure World Region?" Chu Mu was somewhat puzzled.
"Yes." The Blazing Sun Sword Saint said. "Every hundred years, the Azure Sacred Palace in the Azure Lands will hold a gathering of geniuses. The Azure Secret Realm will also open not long after. At this time, the peak geniuses from all over the Azure World Region will be invited to participate in the gathering of geniuses. They will enter the Azure Secret Realm to seek opportunities to strengthen themselves. In addition, within the Azure Secret Realm, there is also the source energy left behind by the Azure Sovereign. If you can find it and absorb it, your potential will be greatly enhanced."
"The source energy …" Chu Mu said. A trace of joy flashed in his eyes.
"Just as the Evil Sword Of Gojoseon guessed, the peak geniuses of the four major powers of the South Star Region have all been invited except for the Evil Sword Of Gojoseon. They probably didn't know about the existence of the Evil Sword Of Gojoseon, so they missed it." The Blazing Sun Sword Saint said. "However, the Evil Sword Of Gojoseon is also a peak genius of the South Star Region. He is fully qualified to participate in the gathering of geniuses of the Azure Sacred Palace. Entering the Azure Secret Realm is not only beneficial to the Evil Sword Of Gojoseon's improvement, it is also beneficial to the status of the South Star Region in the Azure World Region."
There was no righteousness or moral coercion. The Blazing Sun Sword Saint was just stating a fact.
When Chu Mu heard that it was a gathering of the peak geniuses of the entire Azure World Region, his interest was piqued. When he heard that there would be the source energy left behind by the Sovereigns, his interest was even greater.
The source energy was a power that could only be possessed by Sovereigns. It was a symbol of the Sovereigns. However, some Sovereigns who had fallen would leave behind some of their source energy for their descendants to absorb. Of course, not everyone had the ability to absorb the source energy.
However, every genius had their own outstanding aspects. The peak geniuses who accepted the invitation had a high probability of successfully absorbing the source energy. After absorbing it, they naturally wouldn't directly possess the source energy. However, they would be able to increase their own potential and improve their body in all aspects. In short, absorbing and refining the source energy would bring many benefits. It was a comprehensive improvement without any side effects.
To Chu Mu, the source energy was even more important. He had already grasped the source energy of the Sword Dao. However, it wasn't much to begin with. Due to the instability of the passage, he had to permanently consume a large portion of the Sword Dao in order to protect the safety of his consciousness. There wasn't much left. Previously, in the battle with the Great Demon Lord of the Demon Race in the Demon Suppression Realm, he had also consumed a lot of the Sword Dao. Until now, he had only recovered a little.
Therefore, if Chu Mu could find the source energy, he could absorb it and turn it into his own Sword Dao. In the long run, the benefits would undoubtedly be greater.
"Are we leaving now?" Chu Mu asked. Since he was interested, he wouldn't delay any longer.
"Of course." The Blazing Sun Sword Saint immediately replied.
Chu Mu summoned Chu Wangdao and gave him some instructions. He also told Shang Zhizhen and the others that he was going to participate in the Azure Grand Gathering. Then, he left with the Blazing Sun Sword Saint.
"The Azure Grand Gathering. It's a pity that we don't have the qualifications to participate." Shang Zhizhen sighed.
"Don't even think about it. It's the biggest gathering in the Azure Domain that only happens once every hundred years. It's a gathering that only the top geniuses can participate in." Wang Chaoying laughed.
"Yes, Brother Chu is a true top genius. He's qualified to participate. As for us, we're considered geniuses, but not top geniuses." Ge Le also sighed.
For geniuses like them, as long as they didn't die, they had at least a sixty to seventy percent chance of becoming Holy Masters in the future. As for Great Emperors, they had no chance at all. As for the top geniuses, they had a hundred percent chance of becoming Holy Masters.
"I wonder how far Brother Chu will go after the Azure Grand Gathering." Everyone sighed and made guesses.
At this moment, Chu Mu stepped onto a palace-shaped flying boat. It was the flying boat used by the eight Holy Sons of the Sun Mountain. Because it was a long journey from the Southern Domain to the Azure Domain, they would pass through many dangerous places along the way. If they didn't have suitable transportation, it would take at least a few years to reach the Azure Domain. With this flying boat, a few months would be enough.
