The Burial Sword Abyss was not located in the Heaven's Pride camp, but in a corner of the Immemorial Sword City.
The Immemorial Sword City was incomparably huge. Although the Burial Sword Abyss was only a corner of it, it was like a true abyss.
Looking from afar, one could see that in the sky above the corner of the Immemorial Sword City, there was a countless amount of jet-black aura condensing. It was like a black cloud pressing down on the city. That was the phenomenon formed by the countless abandoned swords in the Burial Sword Abyss.
Why were the swords abandoned?
Either there was a mistake when they were first forged and could not be salvaged, or they were damaged after being used. The value of repairing them was too great, so they could only be abandoned and replaced with new ones.
There were so many sword cultivators in the Immemorial Sword City. Over the years, the number of abandoned swords was incalculable. And when the swords were abandoned, there would be an invisible negative aura spreading. If the amount of negative sword qi was small, it wouldn't have any effect on people. But when there was a large amount, it would cause a qualitative change. It would affect people's minds, causing them to go berserk and enter cultivation deviation.
But if one could endure the influence of the chaotic sword qi, they could temper their mind and make their will even more condensed and firm.
When Chu Mu arrived at the outermost part of the Burial Sword Abyss, he discovered that there were many people using the Immemorial Sword Seal to absorb the sword qi in the air. Chu Mu's perception was very sharp. The sword qi here was very sparse and also very heterogeneous. In other words, the sword qi in the outermost part of the Burial Sword Abyss was very low quality.
After using the Immemorial Sword Seal to absorb a strand of sword qi, Chu Mu couldn't help shaking his head. The quality of this sword qi was unimaginably low. It could be said that it was completely useless to him.
The outermost part of the Immemorial Sword Abyss was free, but to enter the Ninth Ring, one had to pay clan points. Only by paying clan points could one pass through the barrier of the Ninth Ring and enter the Ninth Ring.
The Ninth Ring was divided by the upper echelons of the Immemorial Sword City according to the density of the sword qi in the Burial Sword Abyss. The Ninth Ring naturally belonged to the outermost part of the Immemorial Sword Abyss. The First Ring belonged to the innermost part of the Immemorial Sword Abyss.
"Remember, you have to first try to absorb a bit. Only after confirming your endurance can you choose a location to absorb," said the sword cultivator in charge of the Burial Sword Abyss.
"Alright." Chu Mu nodded.
In order to enter the Ninth Ring to absorb sword qi and cultivate the Immemorial Sword Seal, one had to pay 50 clan points. The average person would not be able to afford it. For example, those who cultivated in the outermost regions would go bankrupt even if they could afford it.
To Chu Mu, 50 clan points weren't much. In fact, even if it was a lot, Chu Mu would still be willing to pay. After all, what was the purpose of obtaining clan points?
It was nothing more than to make it easier for him to cultivate and raise his cultivation base and strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to hide it after obtaining the clan merit points. That kind of method was undoubtedly stupid.
Walking into the Ninth Ring, Chu Mu immediately felt the sword Qi drifting in the air. It was much stronger than the outermost ring. The difference was very obvious. Not only was there a difference in quantity, but there was also a difference in quality.
He stood in place and activated the Immemorial Sword Seal. Strands of sword Qi immediately swam from all directions and entered the space between his eyebrows.
The sword Qi here was emitted by the abandoned sword. It contained all kinds of negative auras and was not as pure. After absorbing it, it was not as direct as when he absorbed the Li Perishing Sword's sword Qi. He had to first refine and convert it to get rid of the negative auras and make it pure before he could absorb it.
After absorbing for about half an hour, Chu Mu felt that the efficiency was on the low side. He could completely withstand the impact of the negative auras. Therefore, he continued to move forward.
There were very few people who were willing to pay 50 clan points to enter the Burial Sword Abyss. Chu Mu only saw a few people after a while. However, these people were all diligently cultivating and did not pay attention to Chu Mu.
50 clan points was not a small amount. There was a time limit to cultivating in the Ninth Ring. At most, one had to leave after a month.
Soon, Chu Mu passed the Ninth Ring and entered the Eighth Ring.
The density of the sword Qi in the Eighth Ring was a level higher compared to the Ninth Ring. It was obviously much stronger.
Chu Mu tried to absorb for a while. His spiritual will was constantly attacked by the negative auras, but he could still withstand it.
"Go to the Seventh Ring." Chu Mu thought to himself.
He did not know that there were several pairs of eyes staring at him.
Chu Mu was a member of the Prodigy Camp. Moreover, he was a Twelve-Star Prodigy that was hard to come by in a thousand years. He even broke the record of the Sword Union and became the number one talent in the Sword Union. His every move would attract many hidden gazes. Those who were watching him included the Great Dominators and Demigod Sovereigns in the Immemorial Sword City.
"This kid is only a Beginner Lesser Sacred Master, but he can withstand the impact of the sword Qi resentment in the Eighth Ring. His spiritual will is indeed amazing." The few people who were secretly watching him discussed.
An ordinary Lesser Sacred Master could only absorb the sword Qi in the outermost ring. Even the Ninth Ring would find it difficult to withstand it. Most of the geniuses could only cultivate in the Ninth Ring. The difficulty of the Eighth Ring was several times higher than the Ninth Ring.
Looking at Chu Mu's appearance, it was indeed surprising that he was able to handle the Eighth Ring with ease. However, thinking about it, this guy was the most outstanding talent in the history of the Sword Union. It was not surprising for him to have such a performance.
Soon, Chu Mu entered the Seventh Ring.
"Beginner Lesser Sacred Master?" A person walked out from the Seventh Ring. He was a little surprised when he saw Chu Mu. "The sword Qi in the Seventh Ring contains a very strong negative aura. I think you should be cultivating in the Eighth or Ninth Ring."
"I can withstand it." Chu Mu said to the stranger. He had a pair of purple eyes that looked a little demonic. It was easy for him to leave a deep impression on others.
This person was just casually advising. He did not know Chu Mu and would not say too much.
Standing in the Seventh Ring, Chu Mu once again activated the Immemorial Sword Seal. Suddenly, countless sword Qi spread out from all directions at an extremely fast speed. It was as if there were many invisible people holding sharp swords to kill. Each sword Qi was surrounded by a grey aura. The grey aura was the negative aura.
The quality of the sword Qi in the Seventh Ring was obviously several times higher than the Eighth Ring. At the same time, the negative aura in each sword Qi was several times stronger.
When the sword Qi entered between his eyebrows, Chu Mu refined it. At the same time, his spiritual will was also constantly attacked by the negative aura. The negative aura was like a devil. It was completely aimed at affecting Chu Mu's spiritual will. It wanted to make him lose his mind and go crazy. Chu Mu's spiritual will was incomparably strong. It was as firm as a rock and allowed the attacks to hit it.
After a few breaths, Chu Mu stopped absorbing. That was just an experiment. Even so, there was still a lot of sword Qi that rushed into his body in an attempt to cause damage. However, it did not affect Chu Mu at all.
"The negative aura from the seventh ring's sword aura is still within my tolerance range, but it's already near my limit." Chu Mu thought to himself. In his heart, he couldn't help but show some hesitation.
He was hesitating whether to cultivate in the Seventh Ring or enter the Sixth Ring.
Entering the Sixth Ring, the sword Qi would undoubtedly be several times stronger than the Seventh Ring. Its quality would also be several times better. However, the negative aura would undoubtedly be several times stronger.
In the Seventh Ring, he sought stability. In the Sixth Ring, it was risky.
Chu Mu did not hesitate. He directly stepped forward and walked towards the depths.
"He still wants to enter the Sixth Ring?" The few people who were secretly watching were shocked.
The deeper he went, the more difficult it would be.
After a period of time, Chu Mu entered the Sixth Ring. He immediately felt that the sword Qi that automatically entered his body had become several times stronger.
Taking a deep breath, he used the Ancient Sword Seal to absorb the sword Qi. He knew that the sword Qi in the Sixth Ring was very strong. Looking at it with the naked eye, he could see traces of grey aura. Feeling the sharpness everywhere, Chu Mu did not dare to be too reckless.
The negative aura in the Seventh Ring had almost reached his limit. If the Sixth Ring was several times stronger, it would definitely reach or even exceed his limit. He had to be careful.
Indeed, the moment the Sword Aura entered his forehead, the negative aura completely exploded, unceasingly attacking Chu Mu's mental willpower. It shook and caused Chu Mu's mental willpower to waver. For a moment, he seemed to see countless human figures made of grey aura. Each of them seemed to be broken, holding a sharp sword as they slashed towards him. Each sword carried a terrifying power.
The intensity of the negative aura had already exceeded the limit of Chu Mu's spiritual will. Chu Mu had no choice but to use all of his spiritual will to deal with it.
This method was very dangerous, but at the same time, if he could withstand it, his spiritual will would be tempered and become stronger.
If he focused all of his spiritual will to resist the negative aura, Chu Mu would not be able to absorb the sword Qi. However, he did not care. The first thing he needed to do was to stand firm in the Sixth Ring and let his spiritual will be tempered. When he could withstand it, he would then absorb the sword Qi to cultivate the Ancient Sword Seal.
"The negative aura in the Sixth Ring is still too strong for him."
"Yes, if there is an accident, we will act immediately."
The experts who were secretly watching said. Chu Mu was a peerless genius. He was a kind of hope. The possibility of him becoming a Demigod Sovereign in the future was not small. And with an additional Demigod Sovereign, the top battle strength of the human race would increase by a bit.
It was because of this that they paid special attention to Chu Mu. Naturally, they would not let Chu Mu suffer any unnecessary harm. Of course, they would not protect him everywhere. If an eagle wanted to spread its wings and soar, it had to bear the pain of falling to the ground. As long as it was not an irreparable injury, they would not interfere.
Like now, Chu Mu entering the Sixth Ring, in their eyes, was a bit sloppy. However, they did not interfere. They let Chu Mu experience it himself and realize his shortcomings. It would be more beneficial for his future cultivation.
