Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade would be tested today!
At the end of the tenth year, two figures walked out of the Ancient Sword Palace.
"Is it done?" Chu Mu looked at Xue Yinling and asked with a smile.
"Yes." Xue Yinling nodded.
In ten years, the two of them had completed their cultivation below the Great Emperor Realm. They had built a perfect foundation for themselves.
After the foundation was built, their cultivation had reached the peak of the Half-step Great Emperor Realm. If they wanted to go further, they would have to break through to the Great Emperor Realm.
"My foundation is too solid. If I want to break through to the Great Emperor Realm, it will be a thousand times more difficult." Chu Mu said, "So, I plan to go out and explore. I want to sharpen myself between life and death in order to break through."
"I'm in the same situation. So, I'll go back to the Snow Clan first," Xue Yinling said.
Ten years ago, the two of them could have easily broken through to the Half-step Great Emperor Realm. However, at that time, they felt that the time was not right and their foundation was not solid enough. Ten years later, the time was right and their foundation was solid. However, they could not break through because the difficulty of breaking through had increased by a thousand times.
This situation was within their expectations. The more solid the foundation was, the more difficult it would be for them to break through. Once they broke through, they would be more powerful.
Ten years hadn't left any traces of age on Chu Mu's face. Other than his temperament changing slightly, he didn't look any different from ten years ago. However, Xue Yinling was different. If she looked like a young girl ten years ago, she looked more mature now. Other than her ethereal and exquisite coldness, she also had a hint of maturity.
The two of them did not stay for long. In order to be together for a longer time in the future, they needed to work harder now.
Xue Yinling left directly and went back to the Snow Clan. Before she left, she told Chu Mu that she would stay there for a long time.
Chu Mu went back to the Unique Tower first. As a result, he was challenged.
In the Sword Hall, Jiang Yuchen faced Chu Mu.
"This will be my last battle as a half-step Great Sovereign." Jiang Yuchen stared at Chu Mu with sharp eyes and said in a neither fast nor slow manner. His casual aura contained an extreme sharpness that was extremely terrifying. His eyes were deep like the abyss of purgatory. "In this battle, I will step on you and ascend to the Great Sovereign Realm."
"You will be very disappointed." Chu Mu's tone was very calm, without the slightest bit of momentum.
It could be seen that after ten years of hard work, Jiang Yuchen had also created a perfect foundation for himself. However, different people had different perfect foundations.
The difference between the two was obvious.
Jiang Yuchen suddenly smiled and slashed out with his sword. It was an ordinary slash, but it contained the might of purgatory descending. It was brilliant and irresistible, and the whole world fell into absolute darkness in an instant.
Just from this one strike, it was clear that the current Jiang Yuchen was several times stronger than ten years ago. If Chu Mu's strength had not improved in the slightest, he would not have been able to resist this strike and would have lost without a doubt.
However, there were no ifs.
In the face of Jiang Yuchen's incomparably tyrannical strike, Chu Mu did not move at all. He waved his right hand and a snow-white Sword Light broke through the air. It was astonishingly cold, like lightning that tore through the darkness, and illuminated Jiang Yuchen's eyes. The extreme coldness of the sword light was like frost and snow. It destroyed the power of Jiang Yuchen's sword and counterattacked.
The overwhelming tyrannical power directly slashed on his body. Jiang Yuchen felt as if he had been directly hit by an ancient giant beast. His entire body flew out, and the force of the collision brought with it an irresistible feeling. His spiritual world seemed to have been slashed, and his body felt like it was about to be torn apart. His qi and blood were shaken and his yuan qi was in chaos.
In an instant, Jiang Yuchen fell off the arena.
If Chu Mu had not intentionally held back, this strike would not have been as simple as knocking Jiang Yuchen off the arena. It would have directly killed him, and his essence, qi and spirit would have been completely destroyed.
This was the power of a strike driven by the brand-new power of the truth-seeking technique.
After defeating Jiang Yuchen with one strike, Chu Mu returned to the [Unique Restaurant] to tidy up, and then left the Heaven's Pride Battalion and the Ancient Sword City.
His plan was to leave the Ancient Sword City and go out to adventure. He wanted to hone himself between life and death, but where was his destination? For a moment, Chu Mu could not think of anything.
His mind was spinning rapidly.
"Go to the Demon Domain?"
"No, the Outer Demons Domain has now been unified by Xing Gujianxie. Even the strongest Xing Gujianxie of the Outer Demons Domain is no match for me, let alone others. It is difficult to hone myself there, but the Inner Demons Domain will surpass me."
The Demon Domain was not suitable, nor was the Divine Prison. Where was it suitable?
For a moment, he did not have a good idea. Chu Mu pondered as he left the Ancient Sword City.
There seemed to be many places in the universe that he could go, but there were very few that met his current conditions. Moreover, although Chu Mu had accumulated a lot, the Source Realm was very vast. There were many places that he did not know.
Chu Mu's cultivation base was at the pinnacle of the half-step Great Emperor Realm. His foundation was incomparably solid and perfect. Chu Mu had absolute confidence that at the half-step Great Emperor Realm, there was absolutely no one in the entire Source Realm who could be his match. Perhaps, it was only possible to find a half-step Great Emperor Realm expert from the Divine Race and Demon Race that could compete with him.
And he wanted to hone himself between life and death to find an opportunity to break through to the Great Emperor Realm. In that case, he needed to find a sufficiently strong opponent, preferably one who was stronger than him. However, it was impossible to find a stronger opponent in the half-step Great Emperor Realm.
A Great Emperor Realm expert was indeed stronger than him. However, Chu Mu did not know how big the gap was between him and a Great Emperor Realm expert. Was it very small or very big? He had no confidence.
If he rashly fought a Great Emperor Realm expert, it was hard to say whether he would survive.
"I'll travel around temporarily to broaden my horizons." Chu Mu thought. Although he couldn't put himself in a life and death situation for the time being, it didn't hinder his accumulation of knowledge.
Even for a Demigod Sovereign expert, it was necessary to travel and broaden one's horizons. This was also the reason why some Demigod Sovereigns chose to go deep into the Chaotic Universe.
Time flew. In a flash, half a year had passed since Chu Mu left the Immemorial Sword City. He had broadened his horizons and encountered some opponents, but there wasn't the slightest danger because the opponents were too weak.
"It's you. Very good." Suddenly, a tyrannical aura locked onto Chu Mu. That aura was filled with dense killing intent.
Chu Mu looked over and was shocked. This person was the Great Emperor Realm expert who had been threatened by Chu Mu and Xue Yinling more than a decade ago. In the end, he had no choice but to take out a piece of Snow Source Stone in order to survive.
This person's cultivation was at the Great Emperor Realm. More than a decade ago, he had gone to the secret realm to try his luck. In the end, he hadn't gained anything. Instead, he had been threatened by two half-step Great Emperors and had no choice but to take out a piece of Snow Source Stone to survive.
To a Great Emperor Realm expert, a piece of Snow Source Stone was still very valuable. After the incident, he had felt the pinch for a long time.
After more than a decade, he had met one of the two half-step Great Emperors again. Anger erupted in his heart, and killing intent surged. If it wasn't for the fact that he was wary of the other party's trump card, he would have attacked already.
"Low-level Great Emperor Realm." The moment Chu Mu saw the other party, not only did he recognize the other party, but he also saw the other party's cultivation. He was stunned for a moment. More than a decade ago, he could only roughly estimate the other party's cultivation. Now, he could confirm that the other party was a low-level Great Emperor Realm expert.
"I wonder how big the difference is between my strength and a low-level Great Emperor Realm expert?" Chu Mu thought to himself.
From what he knew, there was no half-step Great Emperor Realm expert who could fight against a Great Emperor Realm expert. No matter how talented one was, it was impossible. Therefore, Chu Mu didn't know if he could do it.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu's heartbeat quickened, and his blood flowed faster. Vaguely, there was a feeling of excitement in his heart, and he wanted to fight the other party.
"I still have the Snow Dao Sword Jade. Even if I can't defeat the other party, I can still activate the Snow Dao Sword Jade's power." Chu Mu thought to himself. With a life-saving trump card, he completely let go of the uncertainty and apprehension in his heart.
A Sword Light flickered between his eyebrows as he displayed the fourth layer of the Immemorial Sword Seal. Heavenly Sword Runes appeared as he waved his right hand. As the sword light flickered, the Li Perishing Sword appeared in his hand.
His opponent was a low-level Great Emperor Realm expert. Although it sounded like there was only a fine line between him and a peak half-step Great Emperor Realm expert, the difference in strength between them was like a natural chasm. Chu Mu didn't dare to be careless.
Pushing the Truth Seeking Technique to the extreme, rumbling noises sounded like a surging tide. Behind Chu Mu, there seemed to be a sea of light surging. That light seemed to be golden, black, and silver. It could be any color. It looked like a storm, a tide, or a flash of lightning. It was full of endless changes and contained endless mysteries.
Chu Mu's self-created Truth Seeking Technique originally had three layers. After integrating the Yuan Race's origin art, God Race's martial arts, and Devil Race's martial arts into it, the Truth Seeking Technique underwent a transformation. It became the strongest martial art in the world, possessing the greatest potential. Even the God Race and Devil Race's supreme martial arts couldn't be compared to it.
The new Truth Seeking Technique was completely different from the previous Truth Seeking Technique. Its power was more than ten times stronger. The Great True Force cultivated by the new Truth Seeking Technique was also more than ten times stronger than before. It was pure, domineering, and majestic.
Previously, when Chu Mu defeated Jiang Yuchen with ease, he didn't use any supreme martial arts. He only used the new Great True Force to push the basic sword skills to its peak.
Now that he was facing a low-level Great Emperor Realm expert, Chu Mu not only used the Immemorial Sword Seal to increase the sharpness by forty percent, he also used the Sky Sword Runes. He even pushed the Truth Seeking Technique to the extreme. His Great True Force surged as he displayed the Truth Seeking Sword Art.
Out of the ten years of seclusion in the Immemorial Sword Palace, nine of them were used to integrate the God Race, Devil Race, and Yuan Race's cultivation techniques into the Truth Seeking Technique, perfecting it to the extreme. The last year was used to perfect the Truth Seeking Technique, the Four Directions Truth Seeking Steps, and the World's End Near at Hand.
The Truth Seeking Technique and the Truth Seeking Technique were a complete set. They focused on attacking the essence, qi, and soul. Therefore, Chu Mu was able to improve the Truth Seeking Technique further in a short one year.
