Walking out of the Sword Cauldron Pavilion, the streets were bustling with people.
"The truth rune has reached the third stage. If I want to raise it to the fourth stage, I will need to consume 2000 Bronze Rank Slaughter Secret Runes. Raising it to the fifth stage will require 4000 Slaughter Secret Runes. I currently have over 8000 Bronze Rank Slaughter Secret Runes, which is more than enough to raise the truth rune to the fifth stage. Moreover, I still have some left. The remaining 2000 Slaughter Secret Runes can be temporarily used to replenish the power of the truth rune." Chu Mu walked on the street and thought to himself as he followed the flow of people.
Once the Truth Rune was upgraded to the fifth level, it could increase one's Essence, Qi and Soul by fifty percent. Combined with Chu Mu's Great True Force, his strength would become even more powerful.
However, Essence, Qi and Soul were the foundation. The battle between Exceptional Realm experts was mainly based on the laws. Chu Mu mainly used the Sword Principle Origin and the Great True Force as a supplement. Therefore, although the increase of the Great True Force would increase his strength by quite a bit, it could not increase Chu Mu's strength by leaps and bounds. However, overall, it was still pretty good.
"Once the Truth Rune is upgraded to the fifth level, combined with the new Rune of the Fifth Level and with the Li Perishing Sword, my strength will not be inferior to an expert of the Lesser Sacred Master level." Chu Mu thought to himself.
The gap between the Fifth Refinement and the Lesser Sacred Master level was huge. It would not be easy to bridge this gap.
However, following this, Chu Mu had to raise his cultivation. Previously, he had already reached his limit after raising his cultivation. Now that he had left his name on the Sword Cliff and experienced the battlefield of slaughter, his potential had been unlocked again. He could raise his cultivation even faster.
His current goal was to find a suitable place to cultivate in seclusion. There was naturally such a place in Human City, as long as one paid a sufficient price.
As he walked, the crowd in front of him suddenly parted to the left and right. A group of people in blood-red clothes quickly walked from the front. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Chu Mu.
"Are you the genius of the Chu Royal Court?" The person cupped his fists in front of Chu Mu and continued, "I am the deacon of the Tu Sect. Under the orders of the Sect Leader, I am here to invite Chu Mu to be a guest of the Tu Sect.
Slaughter Sect was the second most powerful force among the thousands of forces in Human City, second only to Elysium.
If Chu Mu wanted to join any force, a force like the Slaughter Sect would naturally be a very good choice.
Before Chu Mu could reply, a few more people arrived.
"Stand aside, Tu Zong. Come to Heaven Gate. Chu Tianjiao, we are the attendants of Heaven Gate. We are here to invite Chu Tianjiao to join Heaven Gate." This was a group of people wearing white robes with golden edges. They were extremely arrogant.
Elysium, the number one force in Human City, they had the right to be proud.
"Although the Elysium Gate is strong, our Yuwen Clan is not weak either." The third group of people appeared. They were all dressed in black. The leader smiled and looked at Chu Mu. He clasped his hands and said politely, "Chu Mu, we are the disciples of the Yuwen Clan. I am an elder of the Yuwen Clan. Originally, the clan leader wanted to come personally, but he was delayed by some matters. Therefore, I, as an elder, can only bring a group of disciples to invite you to our Yuwen Clan as a guest."
Everyone around was stunned.
Yuwen Clan, Slaughter Sect, and Heaven Gate.
These were the three most powerful forces in Human City. Normally, it was difficult to see their disciples, let alone their attendants and elders. It should be known that these three forces were powerful forces with Sovereign Realm experts. They were many times stronger than the fourth-ranked force. Many people had racked their brains to get in, but were rejected at the door.
However, this time, the three forces had come for one person.
Wait, Chu Tianjiao?
Was that a name?
No, it was not a name, but a form of address. When a genius reached an astonishing level, he would be called a Heaven's Chosen.
Surnamed Chu, and also called a Heaven's Chosen. Many people immediately knew Chu Mu's identity when they thought of the first sentence that the Slaughter Sect's people had said.
The first person to leave his name on the Sword Cliff, one foot higher than Chu Huangji, Chu Wangting!
In recent months, his name had been spread like wildfire. Only a few people knew who this mysterious person was. He had finally appeared in Human City in front of everyone. That kind of excitement was indescribable.
More and more people were watching. The three forces and the new Heaven's Chosen of the Human Race were all very eye-catching, especially when the two were together.
They were all waiting to see how Chu Mu would choose.
An invitation from such a big force was very respectful, but if he refused, it was very likely that he would offend them to a certain extent.
"Chu Wangting, I want to buy the reward rune you got from the task of leaving your name on the Sword Cliff. How much is it? You can name it." An unexpected voice interrupted. It was a young man in green. His aura was like rippling water. At first glance, it was obvious that he was extraordinary.
"Si Yufeng, a genius of the Hundred Heavens Alliance." When the young man in green appeared, someone immediately recognized his identity.
"This person has already left his name on the Sword Cliff, so he didn't get any reward this time."
Si Yufeng!
When this name was mentioned, Chu Mu felt that it was a little familiar. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that it was the name he saw on the Sword Cliff, ranked ninth.
In other words, in terms of talent, this Si Yufeng was even better than Mirror Mirror Ye Jingyun.
With such talent, Si Yufeng naturally had the right to be proud. However, he felt very unhappy. Originally, he was ranked ninth on the Sword Cliff. Although he did not obtain it during the mission and did not receive the mission reward, there were two people who had suppressed him during this mission.
One was Nie Kong, and the other was Chu Wangting.
Suppressing them was actually indirect. But no matter what, he was originally ranked ninth, but because of these two people, he fell to eleventh, falling out of the top ten.
Cultivation in the world was about strength, power, immortality, and fame.
Even many rulers couldn't see through fame and fortune, let alone a peerless cultivator like Si Yufeng.
Therefore, Si Yufeng bore a grudge against Nie Kong and Chu Wangting, but at the same time, he coveted the rare slaughter runes that they had obtained.
Now that he knew that Chu Wangting had appeared on the streets of the Human City, Si Yufeng immediately rushed over and opened his mouth to buy Chu Mu's rare runes. This was undoubtedly a provocation.
"You can't afford it." Chu Mu glanced at Si Yufeng and said unhurriedly.
"So you don't want to sell it?" Si Yufeng's eyes flashed, and his tone became cold.
The Hundred Heavens Alliance was an alliance formed by the geniuses of the outside world. It meant that it was an alliance of 100 geniuses. Of course, there were geniuses, but there weren't that many. It was just a name.
Si Yufeng could barely be regarded as a heaven's pride level genius. However, there was still some gap between him and a true heaven's pride level genius. However, his status in the Hundred Heavens Alliance was quite high. After all, there were only a few true geniuses in the Hundred Heavens Alliance.
The geniuses in the Hundred Heavens Alliance were quite united. If he made an enemy of one of them, it meant that he might make an enemy of all the geniuses in the Hundred Heavens Alliance. This wasn't a wise choice.
However, Chu Mu wouldn't hesitate to retreat because of this.
"You can't afford it." Chu Mu repeated again. Then, he looked at the people from the Tianmen, Tu Sect, and Yuwen Clan. "Thank you for thinking highly of me. However, I have something to do now, so I won't disturb you."
After speaking, Chu Mu walked past the crowd and continued forward. A figure flashed in front of him, and Si Yufeng blocked his path.
"I want to fight with you." Si Yufeng said coldly. His eyes were as sharp as swords, directly piercing Chu Mu's eyes. "If you lose, give me the reward of leaving your name on the Sword Cliff."
Chu Mu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "No."
"The first person to leave his name on the Sword Cliff, the peerless genius who suppressed Chu Huangji, actually doesn't dare to fight with me. If this gets out, you'll be the biggest joke." Si Yufeng sneered and mocked.
"Do you plan to challenge me, who is in the First Refinement, with your Third Refinement of the Exceptional Realm?" Chu Mu asked.
Indeed, Si Yufeng was in the Third Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. His talent was outstanding, and he could be called a Quasi-Prodigy. He was very powerful, and had once defeated a Lesser Saint. Chu Wangting was indeed a prodigy, but prodigies represented talent and potential, and not direct strength.
In a situation where there was an obvious gap in cultivation, such a challenge became somewhat unreasonable.
"Or do you plan to suppress your cultivation to the same level as mine before fighting with me?" Chu Mu asked again. Si Yufeng's expression became a little ugly.
He was a conceited person. It was impossible for him to put down his pride and fight with Chu Mu, who was in the First Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. Even if he won, it wouldn't be something to be proud of. However, he couldn't agree to suppress his cultivation to the same level as Chu Mu because it was very likely that he would lose.
"Do you plan to wait for the Secret Guardian of Slaughter to come?" Chu Mu asked again.
Si Yufeng's expression became gloomy again. He glared at Chu Mu and retreated unwillingly. If he continued to obstruct Chu Mu, Chu Mu would definitely be qualified to be protected by the Secret Guardian of Slaughter in the city. Si Yufeng now had this qualification.
After Si Yufeng retreated, the people of Tianmen, Slaughter Sect and Yuwen Clan didn't dare to forcefully stop Chu Mu. They could only watch Chu Mu leave.
The reason why he didn't accept Si Yufeng's challenge was that he wasn't confident in defeating him. After all, Si Yufeng had left his name on the Sword Cliff. His talent was outstanding, and with his Third Refinement of the Exceptional Realm, his strength was at least at the level of a Little Sacred Master.
Secondly, Chu Mu planned to cultivate in seclusion as soon as possible. He wanted to increase his cultivation as soon as possible to increase his strength and reach the level of a Half-Step Great Sovereign. Only then would he be able to complete the mission of the Massacre Ranking in Human City.
Ten years seemed very long, but it was actually very short. Moreover, while he was improving, others wouldn't stay the same. Only by improving at a faster speed could he surpass others.
After Chu Mu left, the people of Tianmen, Slaughter Sect and Yuwen Clan also left. The crowd dispersed spontaneously. However, what happened today would spread throughout Human City in a very short time.
