In the Scarlet Blaze Palace, the Palace Lord Scarlet Dragon was seated at the top. Below him were a group of Great Emperors.
"We didn't find anything." Scarlet Dragon said calmly. Under his calmness, there was a terrifying pressure. It was as if a volcano had erupted ten thousand years ago. In the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be magma-like flames burning. Wherever he looked, the Great Emperors lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eyes. Even the Sword Emperor Cloning Sword did the same.
"This is the result of your hard work for half a month?" Scarlet Dragon's calm voice sounded again. There was a pressure that seemed to be about to explode.
"Palace Lord, the culprit is too cunning. He might be a professional assassin." Sword Emperor Cloning Sword had to say something. "He didn't leave any traces behind."
"Then the Great Emperors of the Scarlet Blaze Palace died for nothing?" Scarlet Dragon asked. No one knew how to answer.
Many Great Emperors had died but they couldn't even catch the culprit's shadow. How could they bear it? They didn't know that the culprit was digging in the depths of the Scarlet Blaze Mountain.
They wouldn't be able to come up with such a crazy idea unless they were crazy.
After a few days, Chu Mu had already dug more than a hundred thousand meters. It was a shocking depth. The rocks were even harder and were accompanied by bursts of high temperature.
As Chu Mu dug, he treated this method as training. Yes, training his sword.
What angle to strike from, how much strength to strike with the sword, how to use less strength to produce more tyrannical power, how to make the power more condensed, how to use the external environment to make the sword strike faster, and so on.
He struck out his sword frequently and tirelessly. His target was the rocks in the mountain.
Chu Mu gradually forgot about everything else. He also forgot about his own goal. He just continued to attack with his sword. In his mind, there was only one thought, and that was to attack with even more precision.
The word 'better' encompassed many aspects.
Strength, speed, trajectory, etc.
Chu Mu unceasingly stabbed with his sword, unceasingly digging. Suddenly, his two swords missed. Chu Mu's entire body charged forward. The terrifying heat instantly invaded his entire body, as if his entire body was being burned on fire. This instantly woke Chu Mu up.
"Where is this?" Chu Mu immediately floated in the air and activated the Truth Seeking Technique. The Great True Wheel rotated and the power swept through every part of his body to resist the terrifying high temperature. His eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
What entered his eyes was a sea of red. Below him was a sea of red, like a lake. Chu Mu could see that this seemed to be formed by magma, but it looked very pure. Moreover, there seemed to be a layer of invisible flames covering the outermost surface, burning.
Looking around, there were sealed mountain walls. This was a space inside the mountain. It seemed to be a man-made space inside the mountain. It was about a few thousand meters in area and about a dozen meters in height.
The red liquid below was like a small lake. In the center of the lake, there was a huge rock protruding about five to six meters. The top of the rock was very flat. There was a person sitting cross-legged on it. It was an old man wearing a scarlet flame robe. His hair and beard were also scarlet.
Waves of high temperature spread out from the red liquid below. It also spread out from the body of the old man who was sitting cross-legged. The old man did not have any reaction to Chu Mu's arrival.
Chu Mu held his sword with both hands and activated the Truth Seeking Technique to the maximum. The shadow of the Great True Wheel seemed to appear behind his back. This was a sign that his strength was raised to the maximum.
His face was full of vigilance as he stared at the fiery red old man, but he didn't receive any attacks. As he watched, Chu Mu discovered that the fiery red old man seemed to have died.
Yes, he did not feel any vitality.
"Senior." Chu Mu tried to call out to the old man, but he did not receive any response. He called out a few more times, but there was still no response.
"Senior, junior has offended you." after Chu Mu's voice fell, he waited for three breaths of time before nearing the fiery red elder.
After circling around the old man, Chu Mu was finally sure that the old man was already dead.
In other words, this was a corpse. It was just that it looked no different from a living person.
"A dead Sovereign Realm expert." Chu Mu thought to himself. He felt a burst of joy for no reason.
He never thought that his wild idea of digging through the Scarlet Flame Mountain and destroying the foundation of the Scarlet Flame Palace would lead him to such a place at the very bottom of the Scarlet Flame Mountain. He would even find the corpse of a Sovereign Realm expert.
It was obvious that this was a Sovereign Realm expert who cultivated the origin of fire. The red liquid below was very likely formed by the influence of this Sovereign Realm expert who had died over the years.
Since it was a dead Dominator Realm expert, Chu Mu didn't feel any danger. He began to carefully examine the Dominator Realm expert's corpse as well as the surrounding environment. Finally, he came to a conclusion. This Dominator Realm expert had been dead for over a hundred thousand years. As for how many tens of thousands of years, Chu Mu wasn't sure.
"What relationship does this person have with the Scarlet Flame Palace?" A thought popped up in his mind.
This was the Scarlet Flame Mountain. This person cultivated the origin of fire. He had been dead for more than a hundred thousand years. The Scarlet Flame Palace had also existed for more than a hundred thousand years. It was inevitable that Chu Mu would have such a guess.
"This place is definitely an excellent cultivation ground for those who cultivate the Great Dao of Fire." Chu Mu thought. Soon after, his gaze locked onto the interspatial ring on the old man's finger.
Using his sword, he skillfully picked up the interspatial ring and placed it in his hand.
Since the old man was dead, the interspatial ring had become an ownerless item. Chu Mu easily dripped a drop of blood on it to recognize it as its owner.
"Fated person, I am the Scarlet Flame Ancestor of the Scarlet Flame Palace. If you are a disciple of the Scarlet Flame Palace, you should bring everything of mine back to the Scarlet Flame Palace. If you are not a disciple of the Scarlet Flame Palace, you should also bring everything of mine back to the Scarlet Flame Palace. The Scarlet Flame Palace will give you a sufficient reward." An old but loud voice rang out, startling Chu Mu.
Fortunately, this was only a consciousness left behind by the dead Sovereign Realm expert. Otherwise, if he was distracted, it would definitely bring a lot of trouble to Chu Mu.
This consciousness also allowed Chu Mu to know that this old man was called Ancestor Scarlet Flame. He was the Ancestor of the Scarlet Flame Palace.
"A dead Ancestor of the Scarlet Flame Palace. Very good." Chu Mu's lips curled into a smile.
As for the consciousness left behind by Ancestor Scarlet Flame, it was a complete joke for Chu Mu to bring everything of him back to the Scarlet Flame Palace.
After checking, there were many good things in Ancestor Scarlet Flame's interspatial ring. After all, as a Sovereign Realm expert, he must be rich.
There were dozens of Origin Source Stones of Fire and more than a dozen other Origin Source Stones. There were also many elixirs, weapons, spiritual herbs, metal ores, and so on. There were also some martial arts manuals.
"I wonder if Ancestor Scarlet Flame's Origin Source of Fire still exists?" Chu Mu thought to himself and unhesitatingly drew his sword.
The Heavenly Golden Sword was extremely sharp and instantly pierced into Ancestor Scarlet Flame's head. With a flick of his wrist, the sword slashed horizontally and instantly cut open Ancestor Scarlet Flame's head. Following that, a ball of fiery red light flew out, emitting an extremely pure flame energy fluctuation.
That was the Origin Source of Fire.
The Origin Source of Fire seemed to have a mind of its own. As soon as it left Ancestor Scarlet Flame's head, it quickly flew down. The red liquid below seemed to be attractive to it.
Chu Mu could not let it escape. His left hand grabbed at the void and power surged. Suddenly, the Origin Source of Fire was captured and held in his hand.
His palm seemed to be burned by flames.
This was a complete piece of Origin Source of Fire. Unfortunately, as time passed, the power contained in this complete Origin Source of Fire was not as much as it was at its peak. There was only about half of it left.
"Even if it's only half, it's enough for me to raise my cultivation by a lot." Chu Mu thought to himself.
In the past, he had only obtained a small portion of the Origin Source of Fire. It was not even one percent of the complete Origin Source. It was incomparable to the current one.
"In that case, I will completely refine this piece of Origin Source of Fire here and raise my cultivation further." Chu Mu thought to himself.
An increase in cultivation meant an increase in strength. He would become more powerful, and with more powerful strength, he would be able to deal with more powerful enemies.
Without any hesitation, Chu Mu pushed Ancestor Scarlet Flame's body away and sat on the boulder. He held the Origin Source of Fire in his hand and operated the Truth-seeking Technique. He began to absorb the power of the Origin Source of Fire into his Spiritual World and used it to refine his All-heavens Sword Way Origin Source.
With the influx of the power of the Origin Source of Fire, Chu Mu's refinement of the All-heavens Sword Way Origin Source of Fire improved little by little. At the same time, the part of the All-heavens Sword Way Origin Source of Fire also improved. This was beyond Chu Mu's expectations.
The power of the Origin Source of Fire circulated throughout his body and at the same time, it was refining the All-heavens Sword.
It could be said that the benefits brought to Chu Mu by the Origin Source of Fire were in three aspects.
Time passed little by little, and Chu Mu's cultivation improved at an astonishing speed. It was many times faster than his usual cultivation.
In theory, any cultivator could refine the power of the Origin Source. However, there were fewer people below the Dominator Realm who could do it. Moreover, it usually took a lot of time. There was no one like Chu Mu who could refine it so quickly. Even if there was a Dominator Realm master helping to refine it, it would still be the same. After all, one was helped by others while the other was refined by oneself. The efficiency was completely different.
Chu Mu's original cultivation was at the level of a First Step Great Emperor. Now, he was rapidly charging towards the level of a First Step Great Emperor. The efficiency of his improvement was even faster than when he was cultivating in the original universe.
The cultivation in the original universe focused on comprehension. However, the current cultivation was directly refining the power of the Origin Source of Fire to refine his own Sword Way Origin Source. In this way, he could strengthen the use of the All-heavens Sword Way Origin Source of Fire.
