When Chu Mu left the Snow Clan, he only left a sword mark on the peak of the snowy mountain, the mark of longing.
After ten years of waiting, his mental energy had improved a step further. His sharpness had been restrained and he had reached a sublimation. If Chu Mu wanted to break through, he only needed to go into seclusion for a period of time. However, he wasn't willing to do so because he felt that his foundation wasn't perfect enough. He still needed to temper himself further.
It was like forging a sword. He could forge it again and finally create a peerless divine sword.
With his current strength, if he wanted to train himself, he would have to go to more dangerous places.
After thinking about it, Chu Mu finally decided to go to the Nether Realm.
The Nether Realm was once a realm. Due to the life and death battle between the Demigod Sovereigns a long time ago, the realm was pushed away from its original path and eventually collapsed. After countless years, the Nether Realm was located in the northwest of the Origin World.
There were countless dangers in the Nether Realm. The Nether Qi that was everywhere had terrifying power that could erode a cultivator's Essence, Qi, and Spirit and destroy their foundation.
However, there were also many opportunities in the dangerous Nether Realm. For example, there were treasures and inheritances left behind by past experts. There were also spiritual herbs and ores that had been born in the Nether Realm for countless years. These attracted countless cultivators to take risks.
There would be countermeasures when there was danger. Against the invasive Nether Qi that was everywhere in the Nether Realm, the ancestors had also researched ways to deal with it. Some were cultivation techniques, some were targeted treasures, and so on.
It took more than four months for Chu Mu to arrive at the Nether Realm through the Space-Time Gate.
From afar, the Nether Realm looked like a greyish black celestial body. It was incomparably huge and emitted waves of pressure that seemed to suck away one's soul. It was indescribably terrifying.
The Nether Realm was a place where cultivators below the Great Emperor Realm could not enter. If cultivators below the Great Emperor Realm approached the Nether Realm, their souls would be weakened and dissipated.
Even First Step Great Emperors did not dare to approach it. They had to be at least Second Step Great Emperors. However, most Second Step Great Emperors did not dare to enter the Nether Realm either.
To put it simply, the Nether Realm was only suitable for Second Step Great Emperors, Third Step Great Emperors, and Dominators. Chu Mu's cultivation was at the peak of the Third Step Great Emperor Realm, but his strength was far beyond that. Even Chu Mu himself didn't know how strong he was, because there was no suitable opponent for him to fight.
"I wonder how it compares to some of the weaker Sovereign Realm experts?" Chu Mu secretly guessed.
His figure flashed, and like a great roc, he swept across the void and flew toward the celestial body of the underworld.
There were a total of eight entrances to the Nether Realm, which also meant that there were eight exits. There were many cultivators at each of the entrances and exits. It looked very lively.
"Come, come, come. Low grade Darkness Dissipation Pills are on sale. One pill only costs ten clan points. Buy ten and get one free."
"Low-grade Netherward Jade Pendant. Can be used for ten years. Only 300 Clan Points."
"Low-grade Darkness Refining Pill. As long as you consume the Darkness Refining Pill, you won't have to worry about the corrosion of the Netherworld Qi for a month. You can also refine the Netherworld Qi into Yuan Qi to replenish your body. One pill only costs 30 Clan Points.
Chu Mu walked in, and all kinds of shouts came from all around him. He was stunned, as if he had walked into a mortal market.
At a glance, there were many stalls, and the people who set up the stalls were at least Second Step Great Emperors. It was a very strange feeling.
Chu Mu had a habit, and that was to find out where he was going to train in advance. Therefore, he also knew what the so-called Darkness Dissipation Pills and Netherward Jade Pendant were.
Once one entered the Nether Realm, they would be corroded by the Netherworld Qi. Under normal circumstances, even Dominator Realm experts couldn't avoid being corroded by the Netherworld Qi. After a long time, or when one's strength was depleted, it would obviously affect one's essence, qi, and soul. Then, the temporary weakening would slowly become permanent, and it would affect one's foundation.
However, there were countless treasures in the Nether Realm that people couldn't bear to give up. Therefore, all kinds of methods to resist the Netherworld Qi appeared.
After consuming the Darkness Dissipation Pill, its medicinal effect would circulate in the body for a month, eliminating the Netherworld Qi that had invaded the body, thus protecting the body.
The Netherward Jade Pendant's effect was similar, but it didn't need to be consumed. It could be directly worn on the body, and its effect was slightly longer, up to ten years. However, the Netherward Jade Pendant itself didn't contain any energy, and the buyer had to replenish it himself.
The Darkness Refining Pill's effect was to produce a surge of energy to refine the Netherworld Qi that invaded the body, turning it into Yuan Qi. This Yuan Qi was pure Yuan Qi, and could be refined and absorbed by the body to replenish the consumed energy. Of course, its effect was only average, but it was better than nothing.
Other than the Darkness Dissipation Pill, the Netherward Jade Pendant, and the Darkness Refining Pill, there were other things, such as the Darkness Expelling Talisman, and so on. All in all, they were similar, and it depended on one's preference.
"Low-grade Netherworld Stone. Low-grade Netherworld Stone only costs one hundred clan points."
Chu Mu heard the shout and walked to the front of the stall. His gaze locked onto one of the items on the stall. It was a stone about the size of a child's fist. The stone was dark grey, almost black, and it emitted waves of pure energy fluctuations, which was extremely cold.
"One hundred clan points is too expensive. I'll take it for eighty." Someone was bargaining with the stall owner.
"One hundred it is." The stall owner insisted on the price.
"Ninety-five at most." The person bargained again.
"One hundred." The stall owner didn't change his attitude.
"One hundred, right? I'll take it. Do you have any more?" A white-robed person walked over and said directly.
"No, I only have this one." The stall owner said.
The two quickly completed the transaction.
For experts who had stepped into the Great Emperor Realm, clan points had become the mainstream currency for transactions. Even if they belonged to different races, clan points could be shared and exchanged on a one-to-one basis.
Back when he was in the Prodigy Barracks of the Ancient Sword City, it wasn't easy to earn clan points. Even if he completed missions, he would only earn five or six hundred points a year. However, he was only a half-step Great Emperor at that time, and his missions were relatively low-level, so naturally, he had fewer clan points.
Once one's cultivation reached the Great Emperor Realm, the speed of earning clan points would be much faster than a half-step Great Emperor. If one worked hard enough, it wouldn't be difficult to earn one or two thousand clan points a year. It was even possible to earn three or four thousand clan points.
Other than completing missions, clan points could also be earned by trading with others.
Once one reached the Sovereign Realm, it wouldn't be difficult to earn a few tens of thousands of Clan Merit Points in a year. In short, the stronger one was, the faster one could earn Clan Merit Points. Similarly, the stronger one was, the more Clan Merit Points one could earn if one didn't use them.
After all, a treasure worth one hundred clan points might be very effective for a First Step Great Emperor, but it would have little effect on a Second Step Great Emperor. It wouldn't have much effect on a Third Step Great Emperor.
Low-grade Nether Stone was a special product of the Nether Realm. It was extremely peculiar. It was formed from ordinary jade that had been soaked and nourished by the Nether Qi of the Nether Realm for many years before finally undergoing a qualitative change. Ordinary Nether Qi would damage the essence, energy, and spirit of a cultivator and affect their foundation. Except for some extremely special cultivation methods, it was impossible to refine it. However, the Nether Qi contained within the Nether Stone was different.
During the refining process, one's Essence, Qi, and Spirit would be tempered, refined, and improved.
It sounded very effective and attractive, but the low-grade Nether Stone was one of the more ordinary treasures in the Underworld. In addition, the benefits a Great Emperor would gain from refining a low-grade Nether Stone was almost negligible. Hence, the price wasn't high.
To make a comparison, the low grade Nether Stone was more effective for First Step Great Monarchs, but it had little effect on Second Step Great Monarchs, and it had no effect on Third Step Great Monarchs. This was referring to the ordinary Great Monarchs. If it was used on the genius Great Monarchs, then the effect would be greatly reduced.
As he walked around, he saw more Nether Stones being sold. However, they were mostly middle-grade Nether Stones. There were also some spiritual herbs that were the specialty of the Underworld. They all had Nether Qi fluctuations and each had their own uses. There were also Nether Ores, such as Nether Iron, Nether Copper, and so on. They could be used to forge weapons with the attribute and power of Nether Qi.
After walking around, Chu Mu gained a deeper understanding of the Underworld. Only by experiencing it personally could one gain a deeper understanding of the Underworld.
Chu Mu bought a Nether Jade Pendant and held it in his hand. He circulated the Truth Seeking Technique and instantly filled the Nether Jade Pendant's energy. It could be used for ten years. Other than that, Chu Mu also bought ten Nether Refining Pills.
After finishing his preparations, Chen Zong walked towards the entrance of the Underworld.
"Hey, friend, are you planning to enter the Underworld?" Just as he reached the entrance, before he even stepped in, Chu Mu was stopped by someone. He turned around and saw three people walking over from the side, "Friend, you're also a third step great emperor, right? Are you alone? Do you want to join us? "
There were two men and a woman. One of the men asked Chu Mu with a smile, while the other man and woman didn't say a word.
"No." Chu Mu rejected.
"Friend, there are many dangers in the Underworld. If you move alone, it will be inconvenient. If we work together, we can support each other." The man didn't give up and continued.
"Many thanks, but I'm used to moving alone." Chu Mu said.
"Then I'm sorry to disturb you." After being rejected for the second time, the man didn't show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled and said. He wasn't stupid. He had been wandering outside for many years, and he deeply understood that in the world of cultivators, willfulness wasn't enough. Sometimes, one could accidentally provoke someone they shouldn't provoke. There was nothing wrong with being humble and low-key. "Oh right, judging from your appearance, this is your first time in the Underworld, right? Other than the dangers in the Underworld itself, you must be careful of other cultivators."
This was considered a small piece of advice. Chu Mu nodded, indicating that he understood.
This was just a small interlude. Soon, Chu Mu stepped into the Underworld.
