The centennial Grand Competition of the Great Alliance had ended. The next one would be held in another hundred years.
This was a grand occasion for the Origin Yuan Realm. The news began to spread after the end of the centennial Grand Competition. It swept across the entire Origin Yuan Realm like a void storm, sweeping across the heavens and spreading to one domain after another.
High-level domains, mid-level domains, and low-level domains, as long as they were not sealed off, all received the news and knew the results of the centennial Grand Competition.
The names of the first, second, and even the tenth place, their race, age, appearance, and so on were all being spread and widely known. In an instant, they became the idols of the younger generation.
… …
The Azure Domain was one of the low-level domains of the Origin Yuan Realm. It was also the first stop of Chu Mu's arrival in the Origin Yuan Realm. Chu Mu had spent a few years in this place. Under normal circumstances, he might have stayed for a few more years or even a decade before leaving. However, because of the Crimson Domain, Chu Mu had to leave the Azure Domain early.
When he left, he was ambushed. Fortunately, he did not die. He entered the Massacre Royal Palace and the Massacre Domain. His cultivation base increased and his strength increased. Since then, he had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Those who knew Chu Mu in the Azure Domain did not know all of this. They only knew that Chu Mu had left the Azure Domain and perhaps headed to a mid-level domain. This was their guess. Chu Mu had talent. Those who knew Chu Mu in the Azure Sacred Palace believed that one day, Chu Mu would definitely become a Great Emperor or even a Dominator. However, it would take time.
No matter how talented a person was, it was not that easy to become a Great Emperor. It would take at least a few decades or a hundred years. As for becoming a Dominator, it was not just a matter of time. It also required luck.
They knew that perhaps one day, Chu Mu would return to the Azure Domain. However, that might be a hundred years later.
However, when a piece of news came, the Palace Master of the Azure Sacred Palace, the Saints, Saintesses, and other people who knew Chu Mu were all stunned.
This news was naturally about the Great Alliance Tournament that was held once every 100 years. The ranking of the 10 finalists was very detailed. They were all very familiar with the name Chu Mu, who was in sixth place.
"It should be someone with the same name."
"I think so."
"Maybe it really is the Chu Mu that we know."
There were all kinds of discussions, but no conclusion was reached. After all, the news did not clearly state where Chu Mu, who was ranked sixth, came from.
"It shouldn't be him." The Azure Saint Lord hesitated for a moment and said, "The Chu Mu that we know is indeed very talented. He is definitely a prodigy. However, he needs time to grow. It has been less than ten years since he left. However, from what I know, those who can participate in the Great Alliance Tournament must at least be at the peak of the Half-step Great Emperor Realm."
Back then, Chu Mu had only been at the Eternal Ancient Realm. The gap between him and a peak Half-step Great Emperor Realm was too big. It was impossible for him to improve so much in such a short time. Although the Azure Saint Lord hoped that the Chu Mu they knew was the Chu Mu that they knew, the truth was right in front of them.
But the truth was right in front of their eyes, and it was almost impossible.
"However, I believe that if he is given more time and a good environment to grow, he will definitely be famous in the future," the Azure Saint Lord said.
…
After the Great Alliance Tournament, everyone returned. Chu Mu, Xue Yinling, and the others all returned to the Genius Camp in Ancient Sword City.
It didn't take long for Chu Mu's Ancient Sword City Token to increase by 50,000 clan points. As for the first stage of cultivation in the original universe, he could enter it whenever he wanted to apply again.
Chu Mu wouldn't enter the original universe to cultivate for the time being. Five years sounded like a long time, but it was actually very short. Besides, the original universe was filled with the power of the origin. As a great emperor, he would gain the most from comprehending it. Of course, Chu Mu didn't have to comprehend it after becoming a great emperor. However, now wasn't the time.
After returning to Unique Tower, the first thing Chu Mu did was to cultivate in seclusion.
The many battles in the Great Alliance Tournament had brought great benefits to Chu Mu. He hadn't completely digested all of them yet. It would take time. Now was the best time.
In his mind, he recalled every battle that he had seen and experienced in detail. It was as if he was reliving it all over again. Every battle had its merits, and every battle was very exciting.
After reviewing it all, Chu Mu had a deeper understanding.
After that, he began to comprehend in detail. He replaced his simulation and fought with everyone. He used everything that he had learned to fight. Different opponents required different methods.
This was undoubtedly a process that consumed a lot of time and energy. It took Chu Mu a few months to complete it. Following that, Chu Mu extracted every type of comprehension he gained from the simulated fights and deepened his understanding.
Cultivation was a boring process. Only by enduring the loneliness could one reach the peak.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed since the Great Alliance Tournament. During this year, Chu Mu had been cultivating in seclusion in Unique Tower. Xue Yinling had also been cultivating in seclusion in Freezing Snow Tower.
In a year's time, Chu Mu had completely extracted the essence of every battle in the Great Alliance Competition and turned it into his own foundation. Although his cultivation was still at the extreme sacred monarch level and he hadn't improved much, his foundation was more solid and his foundation was more solid.
The fifteenth move of Wen Dao Sword Art, Reincarnation, was close to perfection. The All Heavens Sword Principle was further improved. Then, the All Heavens Sword Techniques were improved. He could use Sword One, Sword Two, and Sword Three freely. He also had some ideas about Sword Four.
In terms of power, Chu Mu was much stronger than he had been a year ago. Of course, he still couldn't defeat an invincible Half Great Emperor.
He walked out of Unique Tower and went to Freezing Snow Tower. But Xue Yinling was still cultivating in seclusion. Chu Mu left to apply for a challenge. He wanted to challenge Ding Yan and be ranked on the Genius Roll.
…
"Do you think that you defeated me a year ago because of your power? Let me tell you, it was just your luck." Ding Yan's eyes were as cold as knives. His words were as sharp as swords, as if they were going to pierce through Chu Mu.
In this year, Ding Yan had returned to War God Mountain to cultivate in seclusion. Under the guidance of the War God Ancestor, his cultivation had broken through. His power had increased by leaps and bounds. Compared to a year ago, he had obviously improved. When he returned to the Prodigy Camp, he originally wanted to challenge the third on the Genius Roll. He hadn't expected Chu Mu to apply for a challenge.
"If I can defeat you once, I can defeat you again," Chu Mu said. Perhaps Ding Yan's power had increased by a lot, but so had Chu Mu.
"Humph!" Ding Yan snorted coldly. He used the second transformation of the War God Nine Transformations. A strong power surged. The fifth level of the Immemorial Sword Seal was used. Its sharpness increased. The War God Heaven-Destroying Sword attacked Chu Mu.
After the Grand Alliance Competition, he had trained hard for a year. Thanks to the guidance of the War God Ancestor, Ding Yan's mastery of the War God Heaven-Destroying Sword had increased by leaps and bounds. The power of the War God Heaven-Destroying Sword had also increased tremendously.
When the sword was used, it was as if a War God didn't submit to Heaven and Earth. With his own strength, he fought against Heaven and Earth.
The difference between this War God Heaven-Destroying Sword and a year ago was obvious. A year ago, he had only scratched the surface. Now, he had truly entered the door.
Scratching the surface and entering the door were two different levels. The difference between them was obvious.
When the Li Perishing Sword was used, Chu Mu didn't retreat. Instead, he counterattacked. He used the fourth level of the Immemorial Sword Seal and activated the Sky Sword Runes.
All Heavens Sword Style, Sword One. Sword Light condensed and broke through the air. This was the combination of strength and speed. It was faster and stronger than before.
After Sword One, it was Sword Two. The power of Sword Two was even stronger. It broke through Ding Yan's Sword Light and attacked directly.
Ding Yan wasn't stupid. He knew that while he had improved, Chu Mu couldn't have not improved in the past year. Therefore, he exploded with all of his strength from the start, even using the secret technique Immemorial Sword Imprint.
Ding Yan's cultivation had already broken through the Supreme Sacred Venerate and reached the level of a low-level Half-step Great Emperor. This meant that in terms of strength, he was now an invincible Half-step Great Emperor.
He swung his sword and shattered the Sword Light. Then, he attacked again. This time, the power was even stronger. His battle intent was shocking.
The War God Nine Revolution Technique was the most compatible with the War God Heaven-Destroying Sword. When he used the War God Nine Revolution Technique, the power of the War God Heaven-Destroying Sword would be maximized.
Knowing his opponent's strength, Chu Mu knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat Ding Yan. Therefore, he didn't hesitate and used the True Secret of Human Dao.
A strong power surged from the deepest part of his body. It was like a storm that swept through every part of his body. Then, the power of the Sword Dao Origin exploded. Chu Mu's cultivation instantly broke through the Supreme Sacred Venerate level and reached the level of a low-level Half-step Great Emperor.
In terms of strength, Chu Mu wasn't inferior to Ding Yan.
Sword Three!
The combination of strength and speed reached the pinnacle. He stabbed out instantly. The sword broke through the sky with unparalleled power. Ding Yan had to be cautious.
He retreated and then attacked again. The War God's Step was like the War God's Charge. The War God Heaven-Destroying Sword attacked Chu Mu again.
Chu Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at Ding Yan. His gaze was extremely sharp as he saw the trajectory of Ding Yan's sword. The War God Heaven-Destroying Sword was indeed an extremely profound sword technique. It was very powerful. However, Ding Yan's attainment in it was only at the entry level. He could only unleash a portion of its power. He couldn't do it perfectly. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that Chu Mu could see some of the trajectory.
Following the trajectory, Chu Mu attacked with his sword.
The sword slashed down. It was the Dao Seeking Sword Art's Reincarnation.
Ding Yan had seen this sword before. He had a bad feeling in his heart. However, it was already too late for him to block it.
After the Reincarnation was perfected, it was as if one could pass through time and space. It seemed slow, but it was actually extremely fast.
Sword Three, which was propelled by the Reincarnation, was extremely fast. It instantly tore through Ding Yan's War God Protective Sword Light. The tip of the sword pierced through Ding Yan's forehead. If it went any further, it would pierce through Ding Yan's forehead and end his life.
