Red-crowned Crane was a low-level monster trained by the Great Kun Sword Mansion. Although it had the strength of a Qi Transformation Realm, it was gentle and did not attack unless it was provoked.
The purpose of the Sword Mansion to train Red-crowned Cranes was to use them as mounts. Among all the low-level monsters, Red-crowned Cranes were the easiest to train. Moreover, they had a strong ability to carry weight and had great endurance. They also flew quickly and steadily.
The Outer Mansion Master rode one Red-crowned Crane while Chu Mu rode the other. They soared into the sky and flew into the distance.
Their destination was the Inner Mansion of the Great Kun Sword Mansion!
The Great Kun Sword Mansion was located in the Great Kun Void Boundary and was independent of the outside world. However, the Inner Mansion and the Outer Mansion were not in the same place. The Outer Mansion was not far from the entrance of the Great Kun Void Boundary while the Inner Mansion was far away from the Outer Mansion. It was like the difference between the mortal world and the deep mountains and forests.
"Don't be too surprised when you reach the Inner Mansion." The Outer Mansion Master's voice ignored the strong wind that was blowing and directly entered Chu Mu's ears.
Chu Mu did not reply, but his curiosity was piqued.
The Great Kun Sword Mansion was established by the Great Kun Royal Family. It included many disciples of the royal family and many outstanding disciples from various sword sects. It could be said to be the most powerful place in the entire Great Kun Dynasty.
Just the Inner Mansion alone had more than seventy thousand students. From this, it could be seen that the Inner Mansion was the true foundation of the Great Kun Sword Mansion.
As for the Outer Mansion, it could only be considered a front station. It was like a reserve force in the army.
What was the difference between the Inner Mansion and the Outer Mansion other than the difference in cultivation and number of students?
The Red-crowned Cranes flapped their wings and quickly left the Outer Mansion. They turned into two small dots and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Junior Brother, I will make good use of the time you gave me. I will try to comprehend the essence and improve it to the maximum." Luo Yufeng looked up at the cloudless sky and clenched his fists as he said to himself.
Chu Mu transferred the remaining usage time of more than a hundred Cultivation Holy Lands to Luo Yufeng. Originally, Luo Yufeng could only enjoy eight hours of time to enter the Cultivation Holy Land every three months. The effect of his comprehension was not obvious. After half a year, he had only touched the surface of the concept.
However, he believed that with the 100 + hours that Chu Mu had given him, not only would he be able to successfully comprehend a concept, but he would also be able to raise his concept to 10% or even higher. In this way, his overall strength would improve again. Perhaps one day, he would be able to break into the top 100 of the Iron Sword List. Through his own efforts, he would be able to obtain more time to cultivate in the Holy Land.
…
After crossing a tall mountain, Chu Mu's eyes suddenly widened. Looking down, he saw a vast group of sword towers densely covering the earth.
This kind of feeling was like the first time he sat in a helicopter and flew over a bustling city. That kind of feeling was shocking.
It was huge, extremely huge. There were so many sword towers that it was impossible to count how many of them there were. One could only tell that there were big and small sword towers, high and low sword towers. That was all.
Just this alone was enough to make Chu Mu gasp in amazement.
"There are a total of 100,000 sword towers in the Inner Mansion." The voice of the Outer Mansion Master sounded in his ears again: "Students who come to the Inner Mansion for the first time will be shocked by the scene in front of them. After becoming a student of the Inner Mansion, each of you will have an independent sword tower to live in. However, the sword towers in the Inner Mansion are divided into four levels, from highest to lowest, they are Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. "
"Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow? What's the difference between the different levels of the sword towers? " Chu Mu asked. His voice was condensed in the Sword Qi. It tore through the violent wind and directly entered the ears of the Outer Mansion Master.
"Of course there are differences. Where there are people, there will be competition. Only with competition can there be improvement. In order to make the competition between the students more intense, the Sword Mansion has specially divided the sword towers of the Inner Mansion and the King's Mansion into different levels. " The Outer Mansion Master explained: "Qi Transformation Realm cultivators can communicate with the outside world and absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi into their body to refine and improve their Xiantian Sword Qi cultivation. Therefore, every sword tower has a Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit Tempering Array, which can absorb the Spiritual Qi from outside the sword tower and refine it inside the sword tower, making it purer and easier to absorb and refine. The Spirit Qi inside the Yellow Grade Sword Tower is 50% more than the Spirit Qi outside the Sword Tower. The purity of the Spirit Qi also surpasses 50%. The Profound Grade Sword Tower is 100%, the Earth Grade Sword Tower is 150%, and the Heaven Grade Sword Tower is 20%. "
Chu Mu's eyes flashed. The sword towers in the Outer Mansion probably also had the so-called Spirit Gathering Array, but for Sword Qi Transformation Realm cultivators, it only had the effect of nourishing their body for a long time.
For Qi Transformation Realm cultivators, not only could the Spiritual Qi nourish their body, they could also directly absorb it and transform it into Xiantian Sword Qi to improve their cultivation. The benefits were many times greater.
The difference between one time and one and a half times was not simple. It was like the difference between two years of cultivation and three years of cultivation. One year's time could often increase the distance by quite a lot.
"Of course, students who have just entered the Inner Mansion can only stay in the Yellow Sword Tower. There is only one way to stay in a higher level sword tower." The Outer Mansion Master paused for a moment, then said with a sharp tone, "With the sword in your hand, you have to challenge and defeat opponents one after another. In the end, you will have the right to stay in the Heaven Sword Tower."
Although the Outer Mansion Master's words made one's blood boil, Chu Mu was still able to maintain his composure. "Are there any restrictions?"
"Yes, of course there are. If you want to challenge the right to stay in a higher level sword tower, you have to go up step by step. First, you have to apply to the Hundred Affair Hall for a deacon to be the witness and challenge a student of the same level. If you win ten times in a row within a month, you will have the right to challenge a student one level higher than you. If you defeat the opponent, you will have the right to stay in the opponent's sword tower and can continue to challenge. If you lose, you will not have the right to challenge for three months. "The Outer Mansion Master's tone became gentle again as he said.
The Red-crowned Cranes flew down, and countless sword towers quickly enlarged in front of their eyes.
Soon, the Red-crowned Cranes landed in front of the Flying Cranes Tower. The Flying Cranes Tower was a Sword Palace organization that specialized in taming the Red-crowned Cranes.
Led by the Outer Mansion Master, they passed through countless sword towers and quickly headed towards the Hundred Affair Hall.
With the Outer Mansion Master's help, the process of reaching the Hundred Affair Hall was exceptionally smooth. The so-called test consisted of two tests.
The first test was to see if his Dantian was filled with Innate Sword Qi.
The test tool was a specially made crystal ball. The deacon asked Chu Mu to place his palm on it and circulate his Innate Sword Qi.
The crystal ball immediately emitted a pure red luster. The deacon stared at it carefully for a while, then nodded and said that it was a pass. If there were impurities in the red luster, it meant that the Innate Sword Qi was not pure enough. It could also be caused by the Acquired Sword Qi or other factors. This would affect the Swordsman's future cultivation and improvement.
The second test was to see if the Swordsman's control of the Innate Sword Qi was good enough. The most direct method was to use the Innate Sword Qi to release a Sword Qi Slash to attack the test wall.
Chu Mu unsheathed his sword and slashed out without any pretense. The Innate Sword Qi surged and gathered, leaving the sword blade and forming an arc. It directly slashed at a specially made black wall ten meters away.
With a bang, the Innate Sword Qi Slash shattered, and the black wall flashed with a red luster.
"En, not bad. Your attacks are clean and efficient, and your Sword Qi is flowing smoothly. Your attack power is also up to standard." The deacon nodded with a faint look of admiration on his face. "You have passed both tests. Congratulations, you have become a member of the Inner Mansion. Now, give me your identity sword token."
Chu Mu took out his identity sword token and handed it to the deacon. The Outer Mansion Master stood to the side and watched without saying a word.
Chu Mu's identity sword token was also changed. His internal information was changed from Outer Mansion Disciple to Inner Mansion Disciple. However, when the deacon in charge saw that Chu Mu had more than twenty thousand academic credits left in his sword token, he was shocked.
This was because he rarely met a new Inner Mansion Disciple who had more than twenty thousand academic credits in his sword token. Such people would usually become famous in the Inner Mansion and were not ordinary people.
"The newest batch of new students to enter the Outer Mansion. It seems that you have obtained a very high ranking in the three natural barriers," the deacon said with a smile as he handed the identity sword token back to Chu Mu. His attitude was much gentler than before.
"Chu Mu's talent is not bad," the Outer Mansion Master said.
"A student that you have personally brought here is naturally extraordinary." The Outer Mansion Master's cultivation and status were above the deacon's, so his tone was very respectful. He then looked at Chu Mu. "With your ability, you should receive better training. I suggest that you choose between Astral-1, Astral-2, or Astral-3 to join the Heavenly King Palace, the Sword Pavilion, or the Heavenly Music Pavilion. If you stand out and stand out, you will definitely be valued and receive more resources for training. If you are willing, I can recommend you to join the Heavenly King Palace. You will immediately enter the eyes of the higher-ups there. "
"Don't interfere with him," the Outer Mansion Master said calmly. He knew that this was a very normal situation. Once an outstanding student entered the Inner Mansion, the deacons would be the first to interact with them. Although the competition between the ten academies was now prohibited, some small tricks were still allowed. For example, if Chu Mu accepted the deacon's recommendation to join the Heavenly King Palace, then Chu Mu would be recognized as someone worthy of training after passing the Heavenly King Palace's test. The deacon would also receive a reward from the Heavenly King Palace.
"Yes, yes, I'm just giving you a suggestion," the deacon said.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I choose Astral-9," Chu Mu said.
Zhuge Ming was in Astral-9, so Chu Mu subconsciously thought of Astral-9.
"Also, I choose a challenge," Chu Mu added.
"A challenge?" The deacon was stunned for a moment before saying, "Oh, you want a challenge? I understand. Go to Astral-9's Hall of Hundred Affairs first. I'll make arrangements for the challenge and inform you tomorrow."
"Let's go, I'll take you to Astral-9." The Outer Mansion Master did not interfere with Chu Mu's choice.
"Chu Mu … I have to report this matter to the higher-ups. Perhaps on this challenge, I can …" The attendant watched Chu Mu's departing figure and a strange light revolved in his eyes as he quietly spoke. (To be continued.)
