"The peerless genius of the human race, Chu Mu, has become a member of the Chu Sect."
This news was not a secret. Very soon, it spread throughout the entire Hundred Battles Realm. It also spread to the surrounding realms. Many people knew about it.
"The Chu Sect is really lucky."
"The Chu Sect first had Chu Huangji, then Chu Mu. Two peerless geniuses, ten geniuses, and hundreds of geniuses. It's only a matter of time before they rise."
Many factions couldn't rise no matter how much time they had. They might even disappear in the long river of history. This was because all kinds of conditions were necessary to rise. For example, talents, resources, opportunities, and so on. The Chu Sect now had all of them.
"Chu Huangji will definitely become a Sovereign. As long as Chu Mu doesn't die midway, he will also become a Sovereign. Moreover, the chances of both of them becoming Great Sovereigns are very high. The Chu Sect won't be weak in the future."
"If one of them becomes a Demigod Sovereign, the Chu Sect will also become a peerless faction."
It was inevitable that peerless geniuses would become Minor Sovereigns. It wouldn't be too difficult for them to become Great Sovereigns. As for becoming a Demigod, it would be very difficult, but at least it would be more difficult than other factions.
Once they became Demigod Sovereigns, everything would be different.
Chu Mu didn't know about the news in the outside world. At this moment, he was cultivating in seclusion in the palace of the Chu Sect.
There was no need to continue cultivating the White Horse Sword Art. There was still a sixth level of the Sky Shattering Cloud Sword Art, but that was at the Great Emperor Realm. Chu Mu's current level was too far away. He couldn't touch it yet. He didn't know the level of the Sen Luo Sword Art, but there was still a lot of potential to be unearthed. There was also the Dao Seeking Sword Art.
As a unique and miraculous sword art created by Chu Mu himself, the potential of the Dao Seeking Sword Art was astonishing. It was beyond the imagination of Chu Mu, the creator.
Now, Chu Mu was digging in the direction of combos. He felt that if he could combos all fourteen forms of the Dao Seeking Sword Art, he might be able to make further progress. This became his main goal.
Other than that, there was also the comprehension of the Four Directional Truth Seeking Steps and the World's End Near Ruler Body.
The first and second levels had already been completed, and he had some clues about the third level. The only thing he had to do now was to comprehend the third level. That involved the profound mysteries of time. It wasn't that easy.
Time flew by and a month went by. Chu Mu's overdrafted potential from using the True Secret of Human Dao had also recovered. He began the third thing he needed to do, which was to refine and absorb the remaining source energy.
The origin energy rapidly vanished under Chu Mu's refinement. A portion of it was grasped by Chu Mu and converted into his cultivation, while a portion of it automatically recovered the overused origin energy.
Time passed day by day. Chu Mu's cultivation aura also gradually increased. At the same time, in a deep blue world far away at the edge of the Great Chaotic Void, layers of light flickered on the outside. Like water ripples, they gradually spread out. Following that, the Great Dao within the Deep Blue World also began to be repaired bit by bit, slowly recovering.
However, the speed of recovery was very slow and very slight. It was hard to feel.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. Chu Mu also successfully refined the remaining source energy. His cultivation base rose rapidly, reaching the limit of the Fourth Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. He was only a step away from the Fifth Refinement.
"Now, my strength should be at the level of a half-step Great Emperor." A glint flashed in Chu Mu's eyes as he silently said. He tested it and indeed, with his peak fourth refinement cultivation, his strength had reached the half step emperor level. However, it was probably a weak half step emperor level.
The increase from the high level of the Third Refinement of the Exceptional Realm to the limit of the Fourth Refinement of the Exceptional Realm seemed significant. However, it was insignificant to the level of a half-step Great Emperor from a Supreme Overlord.
If it was in the past, Chu Mu would be overjoyed with the increase in cultivation base and strength. However, he wasn't now because he had personally experienced the strength of a Great Emperor and the taste of death. He knew that his current strength was far from enough.
"Since it's not enough, I'll continue to cultivate," Chu Mu thought.
Refining Source Energy meant that he wouldn't be able to increase his cultivation base quickly. But it didn't matter. The battles in the Hundred Battles Arena and the Slaughter World had allowed him to further develop his potential. At the very least, he would be able to cultivate better for a period of time until he reached the bottleneck.
This time, Chu Mu used half a year's time to cultivate in seclusion.
"Junior Chu Mu, your cultivation base has risen very quickly. You're indeed a peerless genius." As soon as Chu Mu came out of seclusion and walked out of his room to get some fresh air, he met a senior brother of the Chu Sect. He was a first-step Great Emperor named Chu Zhihuan. He was a peerless genius.
"Senior Brother Zhihuan." Chu Mu greeted him with a sword salute.
"Junior Brother, you don't have to be so polite." Chu Zhihuan smiled. He looked like a scholar and was very scholarly.
At this moment, a figure flew in from outside like a stream of light.
"Junior Brother Zhihuan, this is?" The newcomer's voice was very deep. His gaze fell on Chu Mu's face as if it was real.
"Senior Brother Gangji, you're back. This is a junior brother who joined the Chu Sect half a year ago. His name is Chu Mu. This is Senior Brother Chu Gangji, one of the second-step Great Emperors of the Chu Sect," Chu Zhihuan introduced. Chu Zhiyue introduced, "Junior brother Chu Mu obtained a hundred consecutive victories in the Hundred Battles Heavenly City's Hundred Battles Arena. He's an exceptional genius."
Chu Gangji, who had heard Chu Zhihuan's first sentence, was about to greet Chu Mu. However, when he heard Chu Zhihuan's second sentence, he was stunned. Then, his eyes widened and his face was filled with shock and disbelief.
A hundred consecutive victories in the Hundred Battles Arena!
A peerless genius!
No matter which news it was, it was like a thunderbolt bombarding his mind. He couldn't react immediately.
"Hahahaha, that's great." After a while, Chu Gangji finally couldn't stop laughing. His strong body and broad shoulders trembled as his loud voice echoed in the great hall, "Originally, I went to the Slaughter World to invite the Chu Royal Hall to join our Chu Sect, but I didn't find the Chu Royal Hall. I didn't expect that even though I couldn't find the Chu Royal Hall, junior brother Chu Mu joined the Chu Sect.
Only now did Chu Mu understand that Chu Gangji had gone to the Slaughter World to find the Chu Royal Court. Thinking about it, it was very normal. After all, the Chu Royal Court's name on the Sword Cliff surpassed Chu Huangji's name. Moreover, his surname was Chu. Naturally, the Chu Sect would search for and recruit him.
"That's a pity." Chu Zhihuan sighed regretfully, "If he can find the Chu Royal Court and join our Chu Sect, then our Chu Sect will have senior brother Huangji, junior brother Chu Mu, and the three peerless geniuses of the Chu Royal Court."
Hearing their conversation, Chu Mu felt strange. After all, the Chu Royal Court was the name he used in the Slaughter World.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu decided to say it so that the Chu Sect wouldn't have to waste time and effort to find the so-called Chu Royal Court.
"Senior brother Zhihuan, senior brother Gangji, there's something I have to tell you," Chu Mu said.
"Junior brother, please speak." Chu Zhihuan and Chu Gangji both looked at Chu Mu.
"There's no need to find the Chu Royal Court," Chu Mu said.
"Junior brother, why do you say that?" Chu Gangji frowned.
"Because the Chu Royal Court is the name I use in the Slaughter World." Chu Mu said. Chu Zhihuan and Chu Gangji felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They were completely stunned and only reacted after a while. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"We have to tell the other senior brothers about this," Chu Gangji said.
"I didn't expect that junior brother Chu Mu is the Chu Royal Court." Chu Zhihuan stared at Chu Mu and sighed with emotion, causing Chu Mu to smile.
Not long after, Chu Huangji also appeared. As soon as he appeared, he kept staring at Chu Mu, causing Chu Mu to be confused. Then, Chu Huangji smiled. "I've always been curious about what kind of person who left his name on the Sword Cliff and surpassed me was like. Only now do I know."
"Senior brother, don't blame me," Chu Mu said with a smile.
"If you want to blame me, you have to blame me." Chu Huangji suddenly looked serious and dignified. "Why did you only surpass ten feet and not surpass twenty and thirty feet?"
"I also want to." Chu Mu smiled. As for half a year, Chu Mu's cultivation rose from the early stage of the Fourth Refinement to the Fifth Refinement, Chu Huangji wasn't surprised at all.
Not long after, other senior brothers came. They were surprised by the fact that Chu Mu was the Chu Royal Court. After chatting for a while, they all left.
"My cultivation has reached the Fifth Refinement and has reached a bottleneck. I can't improve as quickly as before." After returning to his room, Chu Mu thought, "But I can't neglect my cultivation. I have to focus on the Dao Seeking Sword Technique and do my best to complete as many consecutive moves as possible. In addition, the Chu Sect Palace also has a library. I should spend some time flipping through the books and replenishing my knowledge further."
The Chu Sect Palace's library was also very large, but there weren't many books inside. Currently, there were only a few tens of thousands of books. They were divided into many categories. There were cultivation techniques, sword techniques, palm techniques, and so on. There were also some secret techniques and miscellaneous notes.
But every power would definitely have a library or similar place that would store many books. That was the embodiment of a sect's foundation.
The Chu Sect had only been established for a few hundred years. Compared to many other powers, a few hundred years seemed insignificant. It was like a child's time, so it was very normal for it to not have accumulated enough knowledge.
However, in a short month, Chu Mu had read through all of the books in the Book Storing Palace and memorized all of the contents.
The reason why he was so fast was because he had read a small portion of the books in the library before.
Time flowed like water. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed since Chu Mu had come to the Chu Sect Palace and become a member. In these three years, Chu Mu hadn't fought anyone. Apart from spending a month to finish reading all the books in the library, he had spent the rest of his time cultivating and comprehending.
He cultivated the Truth Seeking Technique and did his best to raise his cultivation. He comprehended the Dao Seeking Sword Technique, the Four Directions Truth Seeking Steps, and the World's End Near. Under his efforts, he had clearly improved in all aspects.
