After more than ten days, Chu Mu came out of seclusion. He had turned the mysteries he had comprehended from the Tablet of Slaughter into a sword technique. It was a sword technique that was one hundred percent compatible with him. He had also improved this sword technique to its current peak.
"Next, if I want to increase the power of Lifeless Sword Style, I have to either increase my cultivation or sharpen my killing intent to increase more killing intent." Chu Mu thought.
"But Chu Tianjiao …"
Not long after Chu Mu left the Human Hall, someone came up to him. His tone was respectful.
"What's the matter?" Chu Mu looked over. He was sure that he had never seen this person before.
"Chu Tianjiao, I am from the Hundred Heavens Alliance. I am here on the orders of Alliance Leader Li to invite you to our Hundred Heavens Alliance as a guest," the person from the Hundred Heavens Alliance said sincerely.
"Please lead the way," Chu Mu said. Since the other person was polite, he was polite too.
The person from the Hundred Heavens Alliance was delighted. He knew very well that the invitations from the top three forces — Heaven's Gate, Tu's Sect, and Yuwen Clan — were all rejected by the other party. Although the Hundred Heavens Alliance was not bad, it could only be considered a new force. It was far from being comparable to the top three forces. It could only be ranked outside the top 100. Therefore, he did not expect the invitation to be successful from the start.
He did not expect the result to be completely unexpected.
He succeeded.
"Chu Tianjiao, please follow me," the person said excitedly. He quickly turned and led the way.
Every force had their own stronghold in the Human City. Although the Hundred Heavens Alliance was a force founded by geniuses from the outside world, it was no exception.
Not long after, Chu Mu arrived at the stronghold of the Hundred Heavens Alliance. It was a very simple and huge wooden building with a total of three floors.
As soon as Chu Mu arrived, Li Qiubai led the geniuses of the Hundred Heavens Alliance to welcome him.
"Brother Chu, you are finally here," Li Qiubai said with a smile.
"Since Brother Li invited me, I naturally have to come," Chu Mu said.
Li Qiubai was very grateful that Chu Mu did not become the leader of the Hundred Heavens Alliance. He saw Chu Mu as a friend that he could make. At the same time, he also said that the members of the Hundred Heavens Alliance treated Chu Mu as their leader. It was as if Chu Mu had become the honorary leader of the Hundred Heavens Alliance.
Similarly, for Chu Mu, befriending the geniuses of the Hundred Heavens Alliance was not a bad thing. After all, unless it was absolutely necessary, who would be willing to make the whole world their enemy?
Moreover, it was always more convenient to travel outside with more friends.
The members of the Hundred Heavens Alliance were all present. Every one of them was a genius. They had heard Li Qiubai's words and were very clear about it. Therefore, no one was hostile to Chu Mu.
As for Si Yufeng, to be honest, he was not very popular in the Hundred Heavens Alliance. He had coveted Chu Mu's Slaughter Rune. After he had refused to buy it, he had even wanted to kill Chu Mu. This was not a problem. It was a very normal thing. The key was that he was not as good as Chu Mu and was killed.
In theory, he was a member of the Hundred Heavens Alliance. The members of the Hundred Heavens Alliance should at least seek an explanation for him. Li Qiubai had indeed done so. However, he had failed and lost. The Hundred Heavens Alliance had almost changed hands.
Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Li Qiubai was more grateful to Chu Mu. After all, the Hundred Heavens Alliance was his blood, sweat, and tears.
However, not being enemies was one thing. Many people looked at Chu Mu with a trace of fighting spirit.
A peerless genius of the human race, the first person to leave his name on the Sword Cliff, the first person to comprehend the Slaughter Stele. He had all sorts of glory and halo. However, no one knew how strong he was. Naturally, many people would compare him.
As a guest, they naturally could not avoid good food and good wine.
Apart from Si Yufeng who had died, the Hundred Heavens Alliance still had ninety-nine geniuses present. There were both men and women of the younger generation. Each of them had a peerless cultivation base. At least half of them had the strength of a Holy Venerate. Those who had not reached the Holy Venerate level were at the Fifth Refinement of the Exceptional Realm.
Chu Mu was not afraid of drinking. He drank cup after cup of wine. He did not refuse anyone.
"How can there be no sword when there is wine?" Suddenly, one of the Hundred Heavens Alliance's geniuses stood up. His eyes shone brightly as he approached Chu Mu with astonishing battle intent, "I'm Nan Zhen, the second in command of the Alliance Master. I'm also a sword cultivator, and I'd like to ask Chu Tianjiao for advice on sword techniques."
The second-in-command of the Alliance Lord meant that this person called Nan Zhen was the third-in-command of the Hundred Heavens Alliance. The first-in-command was naturally Li Qiubai.
The others were not surprised by Nan Zhen's challenge. They did not have the slightest intention of stopping him. Instead, they had the attitude of watching a good show. However, it was not intentional. They just wanted to see Chu Mu's sword techniques. They wanted to see the strength of this peerless genius of the human race.
"Okay." Chu Mu did not refuse. He just took it as adding to the fun. At the same time, he also wanted to see the sword techniques of the third-in-command of the Hundred Heavens Alliance.
Immediately, Chu Mu picked up a chopstick and used it as a sword. He stabbed it at Nan Zhen.
Nan Zhen also quickly picked up a chopstick to counterattack.
There was no real confrontation. Instead, they used chopsticks as swords to fight.
Actually, in many cases, for a sword cultivator like Chu Mu and Nan Zhen, one chopstick could kill someone.
The two sides did not use any other power. It was purely a competition of sword techniques. In this way, the lethality would not be so great. In addition, it was not a real sword, so the lethality was further weakened.
Chu Mu's position was a little far from Nan Zhen. Even if the two tried their best to reach out with their chopsticks, they would not be able to touch each other. However, at this moment, under the sword techniques displayed by the two sides, one could only see sword shadows constantly colliding. They were looking for the flaws in the other's sword techniques to break through.
As the third-in-command of the Hundred Heavens Alliance, Nan Zhen's cultivation was at the Fifth Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. His strength had reached the level of an ordinary Supreme Saint Master. Once he burst out, this huge wooden building would be directly torn down. His attainments in sword techniques were also quite profound. In the confrontation, Chu Mu could feel that it was a sword technique of the Earth Realm.
In the Sword City of the Azure Domain, there were very few people whose sword techniques had reached the Earth Realm. However, the Azure Domain was only a low-level domain after all. Geniuses like Nan Zhen who were born in a high-level domain naturally had more advantages.
After several exchanges, Chu Mu could be sure that Nan Zhen did not hide his sword technique realm. It was indeed at the peak of the middle level of the Earth Realm. He should have settled down for a long time. Once he had an opportunity, he would be able to break through and reach the upper level of the Earth Realm.
As for Chu Mu, his sword technique realm had reached the Heaven Realm. Although it had not really reached the initial level of the Heaven Realm, it was still much better than Nan Zhen's.
It was too difficult to improve the sword technique realm of the Heaven Realm. So far, Chu Mu had only improved a little. After all, until now, he had not met a sword cultivator who could compare with him in sword technique realm. Even the City Lord of the Sword City of the Azure Domain, who was a Great Emperor sword cultivator, was the same.
Without enough pressure, it was difficult to improve. On the other hand, Chu Mu had not encountered any opportunities that could help him comprehend the sword technique realm. He could only rely on his own efforts to comprehend the sword technique realm bit by bit and slowly improve.
Chu Mu did not use the full extent of his sword technique realm when he fought with Nan Zhen because it was not necessary. In fact, he only controlled it to the middle level of the Earth Realm, which was similar to Nan Zhen's. However, Chu Mu's application of the sword technique was much better than Nan Zhen's.
This was because Chu Mu's true sword technique realm had reached the Heaven Realm. The gap between the Heaven Realm and the Earth Realm was like a chasm, like the gap between the Great Emperor and the Dominator Realm.
Nan Zhen's expression was solemn as he continuously attacked. He changed his sword technique one after another, but he was still unable to break through Chu Mu's defense. Chu Mu did not use any special sword technique from the beginning to the end. He only used the same few moves, and it could even be seen that he only used basic sword techniques. Even so, he was able to resist Nan Zhen's ever-changing attacks.
Nan Zhen was not the only one who was shocked. The other geniuses of the Hundred Heavens Alliance were also shocked. Li Qiubai's expression did not change, but his heart was in turmoil.
He had already overestimated Chu Mu, but he did not expect him to exceed his expectations.
It could be seen that Nan Zhen had used all of his swordsmanship to attack with all of his might. However, his opponent was able to casually defend against his attacks. Every move he made seemed so simple and clear, yet it contained an indescribable mystery.
It could be seen that their sword technique realms were not at the same level.
Nan Zhen was naturally unwilling to give up. Moreover, his sword technique realm was very high among his peers. It was difficult to find someone who could match him. Now that he had met an opponent who could not only match him, but even surpass him, he was itching to test his skills. He did not want to end the fight.
He felt that this was an opportunity for him, a turning point. Perhaps he could use this turning point to break through his current level of swordsmanship and reach an even higher level.
Due to various reasons, Nan Zhen naturally wouldn't stop here. Sensing Nan Zhen's intentions, Chu Mu didn't intend to stop either. He might as well help Nan Zhen achieve a breakthrough in his sword technique. Then, Nan Zhen would definitely be grateful to him.
They continued to exchange blows. Under Chu Mu's conscious guidance, Nan Zhen's sword technique kept changing. He performed all the sword techniques he had practiced, regardless of their level or power. Every time he performed them, there would be some subtle changes, and they became more exquisite.
Immediately, the chopsticks in Chu Mu's hand trembled, as if they had turned into thousands of pieces. They were full of thousands of changes and seemed to contain endless changes.
Limitless Sword Technique, Limitless Nature!
With this move, even Li Qiubai was instantly bewitched, unable to see what was real and what was fake, let alone Nanzhen itself.
Unable to see clearly, unable to resist. Nan Zhen's chopsticks were knocked down. Immediately, he felt a chill between his eyebrows, as if he had been stabbed by something. Nan Zhen knew that if it had been a battle of life and death, his eyebrows would have been pierced and he would have been killed.
