After entering the Chu Sect for three years and cultivating in seclusion for three years, Chu Mu had improved as much as he could.
The path of cultivation was about tension and relaxation, as well as the combination of movement and stillness.
The so-called stillness was meditation, and the so-called movement was adventure and battle.
The combination of movement and stillness was the best way to cultivate. Otherwise, if one only pursued movement or stillness, it would be one-sided. There would come a time when one reached the limit, and it would be difficult to take another step.
Meditation required experience as an accumulation, and experience required meditation as a summary. Only when the two were combined could the effect be maximized.
Everything that he had experienced in the past had been completely transformed into his foundation and strength under these three years of meditation. If he continued, even if he spent ten or even a hundred years, he would at most have some improvement in his cultivation. In other aspects, he would be stuck in the same place.
Chu Mu pursued cultivation because it could increase his strength, but other than cultivation, he had to keep up in other aspects.
Why could he challenge those of a higher level? Cultivation was only a small part of it. The bigger part was in other aspects, such as the realm of sword skills, the Dao Seeking Sword Technique, and so on.
For example, a wooden barrel had high and low edges, and the amount of water in it depended on the lowest edge. Therefore, it was best to advance at the same time.
Coincidentally, there were still many people in the Chu Sect. Chu Mu asked where it was more suitable to go for training.
"Junior Brother, you've asked the right person. Not long ago, a senior brother of our Chu Sect discovered a small world that had not been opened yet. It has only been a few years, and there should still be many resources. Junior Brother, you can explore it. Perhaps you will find something."
"Senior Brother, please tell me where the small world is?" Chu Mu's eyes lit up.
"What's so difficult about it?" This person laughed and told Chu Mu the location of the small world: "Junior brother Chu Mu, if you go to the small world, you have to be extra careful. The small world's beasts aren't ordinary. Moreover, the small world wasn't discovered by our Chu Sect's senior brother alone. There will be people from other sects and factions. Do your best to avoid conflict with them. However, junior brother, you have to remember one thing. If they dare provoke you, don't worry about anything. If you can win, fight back. If you can't win, run. No matter the result, our Chu Sect will take care of it."
If you win, Chu Mu will be there. "The last words were said in an extremely domineering manner.
"I know." Chu Mu said. During his three years in the Chu Sect, other than cultivating in seclusion, he would also interact with his other senior brothers. Therefore, he was rather familiar with the Chu Sect's style of doing things.
The Great Chaotic Void was extremely vast, almost boundless. The Origin Realm was only one of the three main worlds, and the area it occupied was only a tiny portion of the entire Great Chaotic Void. Within the Origin Realm, there were many other realms, and the Chaos Void between the realms was still extremely vast and astonishing.
As for the Primal Chaos Void, it had always contained countless mysteries. Countless experts yearned for it and put in great effort to explore it.
In truth, there were many cultivators who didn't cultivate for the sake of battle or longevity. Rather, they cultivated for the sake of exploring the secrets of the Chaosverse.
A Small World was a product of the Chaosverse. There were two kinds of man-made creation and natural creation. However, under normal circumstances, a natural Small World was often better than a man-made Small World, unless the creator was willing to spend a lot of effort to manage the Small World.
But then again, a man-made Small World usually had an owner, while a naturally formed Small World would be ownerless if it wasn't discovered and then developed. There were many resources inside.
Although the Small World had been discovered and explored, it had only been a few years. There were still many resources inside that could be used as training and exploration. It was killing two birds with one stone.
It just so happened that in addition to Chu Mu, there were two first-step great emperors in the Chu Sect who also planned to enter the Small World. They would pilot the flying ship to take Chu Mu there, which would be faster.
Time flew. Two months later, the flying ship stopped at a place in the Chaos Void and three figures flew out from it.
Exceptional Realm cultivators were already equipped with the ability to survive in the Chaos Void. Of course, it was only the most basic ability. After all, in the eyes of many experts, the Exceptional Realm was just a beginner level.
"Junior Brother Chu Mu, the entrance to the Small World is here," said one of the first-step great emperors with a smile. A first-step Great Emperor from the Chu Sect smiled. He formed a hand seal and a weak whirlpool appeared, allowing the three of them to enter.
The Small World was discovered by the Chu Sect and several other sects. After discussion, the Chu Sect and the other sects naturally developed it together. In order to prevent others from entering, they had to set up many layers of protection. Fortunately, the Small World was originally hidden in the Chaos Void. It was difficult to discover it without special means, so it was impossible to enter.
Not long after, the scenery in front of Chu Mu changed completely. There were mountains, rivers, and trees. It was completely different from the vast Chaos Void where stars were everywhere. It had a different flavor.
"Junior Brother, do you want to come with us or go alone?" Asked one of the two great emperors. It was not that they wanted to chase Chu Mu away, but they knew very well that all geniuses had their own temperaments. They might prefer to go alone.
The Chu Sect was a very united force, but they would not force their will on others. Instead, they would respect each other regardless of cultivation level or strength.
"Thank you, Senior Brothers. However, I'm afraid my strength will be a burden to you. I'd better go alone," said Chu Mu.
"Alright, but be careful, Junior Brother."
"Junior Brother Chu Mu, farewell."
"Take care, Senior Brothers."
The two great emperors of the Chu Sect left, leaving Chu Mu alone. He looked around and based on his perception of the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, he chose the direction with the denser and purer Yuan Qi and flew away.
The Small World had been discovered and excavated in recent years. Therefore, there were still many resources. However, what really caught Chu Mu's attention was not the resources, but something more valuable.
For a Small World to be born, whether it was man-made or natural, it had to have one thing. That was the Origin, the World Origin.
The World Origin was different from the Origin controlled by Sovereigns. However, they were essentially the same. The World Origin could be controlled.
For example, the Deep Blue World was a world created by the Deep Blue Lord. The Deep Blue Lord needed the World Origin to create the Deep Blue World. In theory, the World Origin could also be refined by Sovereigns. However, the efficiency was lower. Therefore, after a Sovereign obtained the World Origin, he would not use the method of refining and absorbing it. Instead, he would use it to study and improve his cultivation level, his control of the World Origin, or use it to create a Small World.
This was different for Chu Mu. He could refine it better. This was because Chu Mu's Sword Dao Origin was formed by refining a small portion of the Deep Blue Lord's Origin and a portion of the Deep Blue World's Origin. It was formed by combining Chu Mu's own Sword Dao True Meaning and so on. It was rather special.
Chu Mu's goal in coming to this small world was to obtain the world origin.
The World Origin was usually located at the center of the Small World. Chu Mu's direction was the center of the Small World.
Chu Mu flew quickly through the air. Suddenly, a huge beam of light shot up from below. It tore through the air with shocking power. It was like a volcano had erupted. It wanted to shatter Chu Mu. The light was greyish-green and gave off a shocking stench.
Chu Mu was not afraid in the face of the attack. He calmly drew his sword and slashed down.
The sharp Sword Light cut through the air and slashed down. It cut through the light that had shot up. The sword slashed down to the ground, cutting apart the beast that had attacked Chu Mu.
The beast's shape was very strange. It was several dozen meters long, and it landed on the ground like a huge bun. It had a huge mouth, and as it wriggled, it would spit out a greyish-green liquid that attacked its target. It was very powerful, and it was shockingly corrosive and poisonous. An attack like that could easily kill an Extreme Saint Venerable.
However, after three years of cultivation, Chu Mu's cultivation had increased. His strength was clearly greater than before, surpassing the level of Extreme Saint Venerable. He slashed down and immediately killed the strange beast.
A bone-chilling sound rang out. The strange beast spat out countless gray-green pus. The intense stench spread for several tens of thousands of meters. Chu Mu hurriedly sped up and passed through, leaving it far behind.
Chu Mu, who had reached the Fifth Refinement of the Exceptional Saint Venerable, was extremely fast. He was even faster than regular Extreme Saint Venerables.
Up ahead, there were violent ripples. Chu Mu could feel that they were becoming stronger and stronger. It meant that someone was heading in his direction.
Chu Mu had come to the miniature world with the intention of training. He had also come for the World Origin. As a result, he did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so he went around.
Not long after, he saw a sword light flying at an extremely fast speed. Behind the sword light, there were three figures wrapped in light that were closely chasing after it, like maggots on a corpse.
"Hand over the Ascending Dragon Fruit, and we'll spare your life," the pursuer said as they chased.
"Don't even think about it," the person said through gritted teeth. "You'll regret trying to kill me."
"Hmph, others might be afraid of your Chu Sect, but we're not."
"Cut the crap. Hurry up and kill him. We'll take the Ascending Dragon Fruit."
The person was lying when he said that he was not afraid of the Chu Sect. After all, the organisation he belonged to was very powerful. However, they did not plan on starting a war with the Chu Sect. As long as they killed this person and no one else knew, the Chu Sect would not know either.
Moreover, the Ascending Dragon Fruit was very valuable. It could increase their strength, so they naturally had to get it.
Compared to offending the Chu Sect, they chose benefits. Taking a step back, even if they gave up now, the other party would not let this matter go. It was very likely that they would take revenge.
The best way was to kill him.
