In the Unique Restaurant, the Li Perishing Sword floated in front of Chu Mu as if there was an invisible hand holding it, motionless. Wisps of pure and sharp aura constantly emanated from the Li Perishing Sword. Each wisp of aura was like a sharp sword. When it shot towards the space between Chu Mu's eyebrows, it cut through the void as if it was cutting through cloth.
For three days in a row, Chu Mu maintained this state of cultivation.
The Immemorial Sword Seal was a secret sword technique. The difficulty of mastering it was not high. The key was the absorption of sword Qi.
For each level of cultivation, one had to absorb enough sword Qi to succeed. As for the amount of sword Qi, there was no fixed number. This was because the sword Qi emitted by different quality swords had a clear difference in strength. Better quality sword Qi would be more efficient. Conversely, it would be less efficient to absorb sword Qi.
Of course, it was impossible for a Holy Venerate cultivator to absorb a Great Emperor level sword. Just the aura emitted by a Great Emperor level sword was enough to cause serious harm to a Holy Venerate.
The most suitable sword for a Holy Venerate to absorb was undoubtedly a Spiritual Sword. However, Spiritual Swords were divided into Low, Middle, High and even Top Grade. Above the Top Grade, there was a kind of top Spiritual Sword that could be passed down for generations. There was a clear difference in the quality of sword Qi.
So far, in the entire Immemorial Sword City, the fastest record for a cultivator who had cultivated the first level of the Immemorial Sword Seal secret technique was one month. In other words, he had cultivated the first level of the Immemorial Sword Seal secret technique in a month.
Up until now, Chu Mu had only cultivated for three days. Although he had absorbed a bit of sword aura, it was still a slow cultivation method and not a predatory absorption. Therefore, the accumulated sword aura revolved around the imprint seed and unceasingly condensed, but it still hadn't truly condensed into a sword imprint and reached the first level.
Time passed day by day. News of Chu Mu as a newcomer had spread to the Elites of the Elites' Barracks. However, the challenge for newcomers had ended. Chu Mu had been staying in the Unique Restaurant and cultivating in seclusion. The Elites also had their own things to do. Very few people deliberately paid attention to his movements.
The fifteenth day!
Another pure Sword Qi shot into the space between Chu Mu's eyebrows. As it revolved, suddenly, all the Sword Qi surrounding the seed was compressed in an instant, as if an incomparably huge pressure had suddenly appeared from all directions. It was also as if the insides of the stars were collapsing, causing the Sword Qi and the seed to completely fuse into one. An astonishing sharpness spread out, sweeping across the entire Unique Restaurant.
After a few breaths, that sharp aura was withdrawn into the space between his eyebrows. Chu Mu's eyes also opened. Sharp light shot out like sword Qi, piercing through the void.
"I've finally mastered the first level." Chu Mu's lips curled into a smile. He did not know that he had broken the Ancient Sword City's cultivation record. However, even if he knew, he would not feel much about it.
After all, his cultivation had barely reached the Sovereign Realm, but his cultivation was only at the level of Lesser Sacred Master. The Sword Qi that he had absorbed came from the top Spiritual Sword. The quality of the Sword Qi was extremely shocking. It could be said to be the pinnacle of Spiritual Sword Qi. Moreover, the Li Perishing Sword was often tempered by his Sword Principle Origin. To a certain extent, there were signs that it had surpassed the level of a Spiritual Sword.
The combination of all these factors allowed Chu Mu to break the record in cultivation speed. In half a month, he had mastered the first level of the Immemorial Sword Seal.
The first level was the easiest. It could be said that except for the newcomers in the Elites' Barracks, every genius or Elite had at least mastered the first level of the Immemorial Sword Seal.
The difficulty of the second level was ten times higher.
It was not difficult to master the second level. It was just absorbing Sword Qi and constantly condensing it. It was not easy because the amount of Sword Qi required was ten times that of the first level.
Even so, a considerable number of people in the Elites' Barracks and Elites' Barracks had mastered the second level. As for the third level, it was even more difficult because the amount of Sword Qi required was ten times that of the second level.
The amount of Sword Qi required for each level was ten times that of the previous level. Therefore, in theory, the Immemorial Sword Seal could be cultivated to countless levels. Being able to cultivate to the ninth level was already an extremely shocking matter.
If others knew that Chu Mu had only used half a month to master the first level of the Immemorial Sword Seal, who knew what kind of shock it would cause.
"Let's give it a try." Chu Mu thought as he activated the power of the Immemorial Sword Seal. Immediately, a sword-shaped light shone between his eyebrows. As it flickered, a tyrannical sharpness spread out. Chu Mu also felt a sharp energy enter his body, turning his body into a sharp sword.
After personally experiencing the power of the first level of the Immemorial Sword Seal, Chu Mu stopped and withdrew the sharpness.
The Immemorial Sword Seal was different from the True Secret of Human Dao. The True Secret of Human Dao was a secret technique that stimulated one's own potential, while the Immemorial Sword Seal was a secret technique that relied on external forces to cultivate. It did not have much to do with one's own potential.
Another point was that the True Secret of Human Dao required a considerable amount of time to recover after each use. Therefore, it could only be used as a final trump card. It could not be used easily unless it was the most critical moment. The Immemorial Sword Seal was different. It was a conventional secret technique.
The use of the Immemorial Sword Seal consumed its own power. Once it was used up, there were two ways to recover. One was to recover on its own, which was slower. The other was to absorb the aura of the swords to recover, which was faster.
"The Immemorial Sword Seal is a secret technique of external forces, while the True Secret of Human Dao is a secret technique of potential. If the enemy is too strong, perhaps I can use both secret techniques at the same time." Chu Mu thought, "With the Truth Seeking Technique that I cultivate, the strength of my Great True Force, and the strength of my physique, I should be able to withstand it."
If one wanted to be stronger than one's own strength, one naturally had to bear the corresponding burden. This was the truth.
"The first level can increase the sharpness by ten percent, while the second level can increase it by twenty percent." Chu Mu thought. Shortly after, he waved his hand. Rays of Sword Light flashed and hundreds of swords flew out from his interspatial ring. These swords were all spiritual swords, and they were the weapons of the enemies that he had killed.
"Let's try the Predatory Absorption." Chu Mu thought to himself. He resonated with the hundreds of swords, and then activated the secret technique of the Immemorial Sword Seal.
The cultivation this time was completely different from the previous cultivation. It was not gentle, but extremely domineering. He used the Predatory Absorption method to absorb the power of the hundreds of swords.
The hundreds of swords were all spiritual swords, and they all had their own spirituality. Under Chu Mu's domineering Absorption, they actually let out cries and trembled. They wanted to resist and break free, but they were powerless to do so. They could only let the aura on their bodies spurt out like a waterfall. The hundreds of swords all flew towards Chu Mu, as if they were going to pierce through Chu Mu's head. However, in an instant, they entered between his eyebrows.
As soon as the swords entered, another hundred swords followed closely behind. They came wave after wave, as if they were endless. Gradually, the swords formed a straight line. One end was a sword, while the other end was between Chu Mu's eyebrows.
The power was constantly absorbed. Before long, the auras of the hundreds of swords began to weaken. It happened very quickly, and mottled rust appeared on the swords as if they had been buried in the ground for a long time. A rotten aura began to permeate the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The swords naturally shattered one after another, turning into countless fragments that splattered in all directions. Soon after, those fragments turned into powder under the collision and scattered all over the sky.
In just a few dozen breaths, the hundreds of swords had completely lost their spirituality. Furthermore, they had all turned to dust. This was enough to show how terrifying the Predatory Absorption was.
Chu Mu opened his eyes, and the light that shot out penetrated the dust. With a wave of his hand, all the dust disappeared without a trace.
The materials used to forge spiritual swords were often extraordinary and difficult to destroy. However, after the spirituality and power were completely absorbed, they were directly destroyed from the inside and turned to dust. This was not surprising.
"The cultivation of the second level is indeed not that easy." Chu Mu thought to himself. He carefully sensed and found that he had only completed half of it. In other words, he still had to absorb the hundreds of spiritual swords in a predatory manner to be able to cultivate the second level.
However, other than the Li Perishing Sword, Chu Mu did not have any other spiritual swords. He naturally could not absorb the Li Perishing Sword in a predatory manner. However, if he wanted to absorb the Li Perishing Sword's Sword Qi to cultivate the second level of the Immemorial Sword Seal, he estimated that it would take two to three months.
"Let's go to the Burial Sword Abyss." Chu Mu stood up. Without any hesitation, he left the Unique Restaurant and headed towards the Burial Sword Abyss.
The Burial Sword Abyss, as its name implied, was a place where swords were discarded. It was originally a place in the Immemorial Sword City to dispose of discarded swords. After countless years of accumulation, it became a place like an abyss.
Countless discarded swords invisibly released sword Qi. It was dense and majestic. Moreover, it was very heterogeneous, causing it to become a dangerous place. If ordinary sword cultivators were to be placed in it for a long time, they would be affected by the heterogeneous sword Qi. If it was light, they would be injured. If it was heavy, they would die.
Therefore, the Burial Sword Abyss was once listed as a forbidden area. However, when someone absorbed the sword Qi in the periphery of the Burial Sword Abyss to cultivate the Immemorial Sword Seal, the results were remarkable. Thus, another use of the Burial Sword Abyss was discovered.
Many people would go to the Burial Sword Abyss to cultivate the Immemorial Sword Seal. However, they would only go to the periphery because the deeper the Burial Sword Abyss was, the more dangerous it was. As more people entered the Burial Sword Abyss to cultivate, the supply of sword Qi in the periphery could not meet the demand. A portion of cultivators gradually entered the Burial Sword Abyss. Not long after, the upper echelons of the Immemorial Sword City made a corresponding regulation. The Burial Sword Abyss was divided into the center and the Nine Rings. Outside the Nine Rings was the outermost area of the Burial Sword Abyss.
Anyone could cultivate in the outermost area. However, anyone who wanted to enter the Nine Rings to cultivate had to pay clan points.
