Chu Mu had been to the territory of the Snow Clan once, so he remembered the route.
After arriving at the territory of the Snow Clan, he flew directly to the main castle of the Snow Clan, where the leader of the Snow Clan lived. If he wanted to find Xue Yinling, he had to find the leader of the Snow Clan first.
It wasn't easy to see the leader of the Snow Clan. However, Chu Mu's Qi was at the peak of the third step of the Great Emperor Realm. It was extremely sharp. The members of the Snow Clan didn't dare act rashly. Very quickly, Chu Mu entered the main castle and saw the leader of the Snow Clan.
"I remember you. You're Yinling's partner, the peerless genius of the Human Clan, Chu Mu," said the leader of the Snow Clan with a smile when she saw Chu Mu.
"Greetings, leader." Chu Mu saluted with his sword. The leader of the Snow Clan accepted it calmly. She was a Sovereign Realm cultivator and she was Xue Yinling's senior.
"Your cultivation …" The leader of the Snow Clan was astonished when she saw that Chu Mu's cultivation had reached the peak of the third step of the Great Emperor Realm.
She was shocked. The last time she saw Chu Mu, it had only been forty or fifty years. How could he improve so quickly?
"I had some adventures," said Chu Mu with a smile. He didn't explain in detail because it wasn't necessary.
"No wonder you're the peerless genius of the Human Clan. You're amazing." The leader of the Snow Clan was surprised and happy because Chu Mu was Xue Yinling's partner. The more outstanding he was, the better it would be for the Snow Clan. "By the way, are you here to find Yin Ling?"
"Yes." Chu Mu's eyes lit up.
"I can only say that you're too early," said the leader of the Snow Clan. "Yin Ling went back to the Snow Clan dozens of years ago to cultivate in seclusion. She hasn't come out yet."
"That's a long time!" Chu Mu was astonished.
"In the history of the Snow Clan, a half-step supreme cultivator was born. Because of that half-step supreme cultivator, the Snow Clan was able to rise. At its peak, we were much stronger than the other small clans. Unfortunately, after the half-step supreme cultivator died, the Snow Clan was divided." The leader of the Snow Clan said, "Before the demigod supreme died, he left behind an inheritance in the Snow Clan. Any suitable descendant of the Snow Clan is qualified to receive the inheritance."
"This time, including Yin Ling, there are a total of eight people who are qualified to receive the inheritance. They entered the small world of the inheritance when they were at the limit of a Half-step Great Emperor to fight for the resources in the small world. Only the last person will receive the inheritance." The leader of the Snow Tribe said, "There is no danger in the Small World of Heritage. If you fail, you will be sent out. Silver Spirit hasn't come out yet, which means she is still in the Small World of Heritage."
Hearing this, Chu Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
A Demigod Sovereign's methods were incomparably profound, there was no mistaking it.
"Chief, can I stay here and wait for Yin Ling to come out?" Chu Mu asked.
"Of course." The leader of the Snow Clan smiled and said, "However, I can't guarantee how long it will take for Yin Ling to leave the Small World of Heritage. As long as she receives the inheritance, she may be a Sovereign Realm expert when she comes out."
"That would be great." Chu Mu smiled.
Xue Yinling's previous life was the Sword Spirit of the Void. In terms of cultivation level, she was at the Sovereign Realm. After receiving the inheritance of the half-step supreme cultivator, it was nothing special for her to reach the Sovereign Realm.
Chu Mu settled down in the Snow Clan. However, he didn't live in a snow castle. Instead, he found a snow mountain and opened up a cave at the top. He settled down there.
The Snow Clan's territory was covered in ice and snow. It was extremely cold, but it was nothing to Chu Mu.
This snow mountain was the tallest in the Snow Clan's territory. It was sixty-six thousand feet tall. Chu Mu stood at the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. Countless white snowflakes were falling from the sky as if there was no end to them. The scenery was unparalleled.
Being alone was a type of loneliness and coldness, but it made Chu Mu feel very comfortable. He enjoyed being alone in this world. This feeling made his heart calm, and he was unable to extricate himself from it.
As time passed, Chu Mu's aura was restrained. It was as if he had become a wooden statue. Snowflakes drifted down and landed on his body. It was as if they had found a place to settle down. More and more snowflakes fell down and covered Chu Mu's body. Finally, he became a snowman.
The snowman stood on top of the mountain, motionless. Only his eyes weren't covered by the snowflakes. However, his eyes looked extremely pure, like a flawless gem.
Day after day passed. Month after month passed. Year after year passed.
Without realizing it, ten years had passed since Chu Mu had arrived in the Snow Clan.
During those ten years, the Xue Yinling hadn't shown up. Chu Mu had turned into a snowman and stood on top of the mountain. The leader of the Snow Clan had just come out of the snow castle. He raised his head and saw Chu Mu as a snowman.
On this day, Chu Mu's gem-like eyes suddenly trembled slightly. A sharp light pierced through the sky like the edge of a sword. However, there was also an uncertain gentleness. His gaze seemed to pierce through the heavens, traversing through the cycle of time and space, heading towards an unknown depth.
Chu Mu moved.
There was a thick layer of snow on his body, but it didn't fall because of him. It was as if he had become one with Chu Mu.
Then, a Sword Light streaked across the sky. Even the leader of the Snow Clan didn't know where that Sword Light had come from or where it was going.
It was incomparably mysterious.
The sword had an indescribable Qi, as if it had started from nothing. It was the first move of the Wen Dao Swordsmanship, Start from Nothing.
Then, the second move, the third move, and so on. Chu Mu performed one move after another.
The fifteenth move, Reincarnation, seemed to rotate in the sky.
The sixteenth move, Destroy the World, destroyed the sky and the earth.
The seventeenth move, Split the Sky, tore the sky open. A huge crack appeared in the sky.
The eighteenth move, Kill the Soul, destroyed the souls of gods and demons.
Suddenly, Chu Mu's sword stopped. It seemed like a second, a thousand years, an eternity. Then, he swung his sword again.
It was so fast that it surpassed time and space and reincarnation, but it also seemed so slow. Bit by bit, it could be seen clearly. It was extremely sharp, but also extremely gentle.
The snow on his body shook and flew up like butterflies, circling around his body. Then, like thousands of dancing butterflies, they all swept towards the long sword. Along with the sword light, there was a kind of hope, a kind of hope, and a kind of expectation. It scattered through the void, the heavens, the ten thousand worlds, and the reincarnation cycle.
At that moment, the leader of the Snow Clan fell into an indescribable state. It was as if the softest part of his heart had been hit. The entire Snow Clan was covered by that unique Qi. They all fell into an inexplicable longing. There was only a touch of gentleness in their eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, the wind blew, the snow stopped, and the sword was sheathed. Chu Mu's body was clean and tidy, without a single thing remaining. His gaze went from sharp to calm. There was a kind of restraint of essence, energy, and spirit. His entire spirit seemed to have been raised to a higher level.
Indeed, he hadn't moved for ten years. His heart had fused with the snow mountain and the Snow Clan. His cultivation level had risen again. Before, he had barely reached the level of a small ruler, but now, he was a small ruler. Besides, Chu Mu also felt that he had accumulated enough strength. Soon, he would be able to break through to the ruler layer.
However, what made Chu Mu feel like his greatest gain wasn't the elevation of his mental energy, nor was it the increase in his cultivation. Instead, it was that sword.
That sword had transcended time and space, but it didn't contain any murderous intent. On the contrary, it was indescribably gentle.
"This sword is called Longing," said Chu Mu with a sigh. It was as if he had released all the longing he had felt for the past ten years.
Longing was a kind of emotion. People existed because of emotions. Everything had emotions. Birth, old age, prosperity, and decline. It was a cycle of reincarnation.
The nineteenth move of the Wen Dao Swordsmanship, Longing!
The first move to the fourteenth move represented Chu Mu's past.
The beginning of the fifteenth style represented the beginning of this era. Then, the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth styles represented the battles and massacres of this era. The power of each sword was tyrannical to the extreme. It was a type of massacre and destruction.
The eighteenth move, Soul Eater, was an ultimate killing move.
The nineteenth move suddenly changed from an ultimate killing move to a gentleness. It was Longing. When Longing's strength reached its peak, it could transcend time and space. It could transcend reincarnation.
That Longing was Chu Mu's longing for Xue Yinling. It was also the memory of his past feelings.
The change from ultimate killing to ultimate destruction was like the birth of Yin when Yang reached the extreme. It was a kind of improvement. Chu Mu felt that his swordsmanship level seemed to be loosening.
Chu Mu's figure flashed. He turned into a Sword Light and descended from the snowy mountain. Soon, he arrived at the main castle to see the leader of the Snow Tribe.
"Is there still no news from Yinling?" asked Chu Mu.
"Not yet, but don't worry. She won't be in any danger," said the leader.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Chu Mu said, "If Yinling comes out, please tell her that I'm going to travel. I'll come back when I become a Dominator."
"Okay." The leader nodded. She didn't know how long it would take for Xue Yinling to come out. Maybe a few years, maybe a few decades. Chu Mu's talent was peerless. It would be difficult for him to improve if he stayed in this place. He had to travel and experience the world. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.
Chu Mu didn't hesitate at all. He came as he pleased, stayed as he pleased, and left as he pleased. There was an indescribable free and easy nature to him.
After Chu Mu left, Xue Yinling was still working hard in the Small World of Inheritance. Her cultivation kept improving. She had reached the third step of the Great Sovereign Realm and was still improving. She only had one opponent left.
