Only a few breaths of time had passed since Xue Yinling made the first move to kill the third small mastery level sword cultivator.
Too fast, this unforeseen event had happened too quickly.
After Chu Mu and Xue Yinling killed the third small mastery level sword cultivator, they locked onto the fourth person. It was the small mastery level sword cultivator Dacheng that was suppressing Guan Zhongjie.
Guan Zhongjie's cultivation was at the peak of the small mastery level, and his strength was also at the same level. He was very close to the small mastery level Dacheng, but there was still a huge gap between him and the small mastery level Dacheng. He was immediately suppressed.
Chu Mu and Xue Yinling's swords attacked from the left and right, bringing a clear threat to the small mastery level sword cultivator Dacheng. The sword cultivator immediately retreated. His cultivation was stronger than the three small mastery level sword cultivators from before.
"Let's go." The person decisively shouted.
Out of the five of them, three had been killed in an instant. The remaining two Minor Sovereigns weren't a match for the five of them at all. If they continued to stay here, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't be besieged and killed.
Even though they were very angry and unwilling, they still had to retreat. With the small mastery level Dacheng's cultivation, it wasn't difficult for them to escape.
When the two small mastery level sword cultivators left, Xu Guanying and the others didn't chase after them. Chu Mu and Xue Yinling didn't chase after them either. Although they weren't slow, they didn't have an advantage over the small mastery level sword cultivators like Dacheng.
After the two of them disappeared, Xu Guanying and the others looked at Chu Mu and Xue Yinling with complicated expressions. Originally, they thought that the two of them were only at the beginning of the small mastery level and were the weakest among them. They didn't expect their strength to be so shocking. When they worked together, they killed small mastery level sword cultivators like chopping vegetables.
Perhaps it was because they were caught off guard, but it was enough to show that their strength was outstanding.
Unknowingly, Xu Guanying and the others changed their opinions. They didn't dare to underestimate them at all.
"Three interspatial rings. Two belong to us, and one belongs to you guys." Chu Mu said. As he killed the enemy, he took the interspatial ring and sword.
The three spatial rings were all ownerless, but Chu Mu didn't know what was inside. He didn't know about the others either. Choosing one was a random choice.
Xu Guanying and the others didn't have any objections to Chu Mu's distribution because the three small mastery sword cultivators had all been killed by Chu Mu and Xue Yinling. Even if Chu Mu didn't give any to them, it was reasonable.
That was the difference. If Chu Mu and Xue Yinling hadn't shown their strength, Guan Zhongjie might have suggested other ways to split the spoils.
Xu Guanying's gaze swept across and she casually picked one of them. The owners of the three interspatial rings were all at the early stages of Lesser Sovereign Realm. The value of the treasures in the interspatial rings should be around the same. She wouldn't lose out in choosing any one of them.
Xu Guanying and the others checked the items in the interspatial rings and divided them equally. Chu Mu and Xue Yinling each recognized an interspatial ring and checked the treasures inside.
Most of them were ordinary. What Chu Mu cared about were the treasures of the Sword God Mountain.
There was a fifth of the Sword Qi Spirit Source. There were ten stalks of Sword God Grass. In addition, there was an egg-sized silver stone. The surface was smooth, but it contained shocking waves of Sword Qi. It was also a Sword Dao treasure obtained by the Sword God Mountain.
"Let's continue." Xu Guanying looked at Chu Mu and Xue Yinling as she spoke. She didn't do that before. Now, she was asking for Chu Mu and Xue Yinling's opinions. This was the change brought about by the difference in strength.
Other than strength, there was also decisiveness.
When the three of them were facing a threat and were still hesitating whether to hand over the treasures or fight, Chu Mu and Xue Yinling had already attacked. They caught them off guard and killed them instantly.
That decisiveness and sharpness, in addition to sufficient strength, was very scary.
"Okay." Chu Mu nodded. Everyone continued to move forward.
The Sword God Mountain was very high. They kept climbing. Time flew by, and they gained more and more.
In the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed since Chu Mu and the others entered the Sword God Mountain. However, they were still climbing. It was as if the Sword God Mountain had no height. It was endless.
In fact, the Sword God Mountain had a height. However, the higher they climbed, the denser the Sword Qi became. It brought more pressure to them. At first, they were as fast as flying, but now, they couldn't move an inch.
Every time they moved forward, they had to withstand the great pressure. Until now, they couldn't go any further. However, although they couldn't go any further, they had gained quite a lot.
"I suggest that we go back a little and go around the mountain to continue looking for treasures." Xu Guanying said. Her eyes were still on Chu Mu and Xue Yinling's faces. This made Guan Zhongjie very unhappy. However, along the way, they had observed carefully and found that whether it was Chu Mu or Xue Yinling, their strength was higher than their cultivation level.
In other words, both of them could challenge those of a higher level.
They were well aware of what it meant to challenge someone of a higher level than them in the Sovereign Realm. It meant that both of them were top-notch peerless geniuses. The martial arts that they cultivated were extraordinary and the Origin Energy that they possessed wasn't something that ordinary Origin Energy could compare with.
Such people had unlimited potential. It was only a matter of time before their cultivation level surpassed theirs.
The reason why they had to retreat was that at this height, they had to withstand the great pressure at all times. In order to resist the pressure, they had to mobilize their own strength. This would consume their strength continuously.
Resisting the pressure brought by the Sword Qi could temper their own Sword Will. However, they could encounter other teams at any time. A battle was inevitable. It was more important to maintain their condition.
Everyone agreed with Xu Guanying's suggestion. They retreated a few thousand meters. The pressure on their bodies weakened a lot.
Everyone had a kind of potential. It was the gradual increase in pressure. When they reached a certain height, they would feel relaxed when they retreated and withstood the slightly weaker pressure.
After retreating a few thousand meters, the group quickly moved along the mountain.
Previously, they were moving in a straight line from the bottom to the top. They collected all the treasures along the way. Now, they were moving horizontally. They continued to search for treasures.
In more than three months, other than the small team that they encountered, they didn't encounter any other small teams. The Sword God Mountain was very big. There were less than a hundred people entering this time. The probability of them encountering each other was low.
As for the three Sovereign Realm sword cultivators, they were powerful and fast. They had already rushed to a higher height by themselves.
The Sword God Mountain could only be entered once every ten thousand years. During these ten thousand years, many Sword Dao treasures would be produced. However, the lower level treasures such as the Sword God Grass and Sword God Fruit wouldn't have obvious effects on Grand Dominator Realm sword cultivators. They wouldn't even be interested in them. Otherwise, if Grand Dominator Realm sword cultivators had their eyes on the lower level Sword Dao treasures, the other Minor Dominator Realm sword cultivators wouldn't even be able to get anything.
Not long after, Chu Mu's group of five found a few stalks of Sword God Grass along the mountain.
The higher the height, the higher the probability of finding Sword God Grass. Furthermore, the color of the Sword God Grass would be deeper. This meant that the Sword Dao intent contained within it would be richer.
"This is great. With these, I will be able to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time after leaving Sword God Mountain. It will be equivalent to a few thousand years of cultivation for me." Guan Zhongjie put away the Sword God Grass with a deep luster. He was secretly delighted.
A few years of seclusion would be equivalent to a few thousand years of cultivation. How great was this? This was also one of the charms of adventuring. Which cultivator didn't want to reach a higher height? However, due to their own potential or resources, it was difficult to do so. They had to go out to temper themselves and obtain opportunities.
The Sword God Mountain was a public opportunity. One could enter once every ten thousand years. Some sword cultivators would even wait for ten thousand years in the outer region just for this opportunity.
After a period of time, Chu Mu's group of five saw a patch of Sword God Grass.
Yes, there was an entire patch. There were at least forty to fifty stalks. They were like small swords pointing towards the sky, attracting the attention of Chu Mu's group. Shortly after, they burst out with their fastest speed and transformed into five rays of light, flying towards the patch of Sword God Grass.
At the same time, there were two groups of people who also burst out with their fastest speed, flying towards the Sword God Grass.
It turned out that other than Chu Mu's group that discovered this patch of Sword God Grass, there were two other groups that discovered the Sword God Grass at the same time.
Right now, it was a competition of speed. They wanted to see who could reach the Sword God Grass faster.
The speed of Minor Sovereigns was extremely fast. They instantly traversed several hundred meters and approached the Sword God Grass. No one made a move because they were worried that they would affect the Sword God Grass and cause it to be destroyed.
After the three groups of people got close, they quickly made a move and plucked stalks of Sword God Grass one after another.
Plucking the Sword God Grass wasn't something that could be done casually. It required a certain level of skill. They definitely couldn't damage the roots. Once the roots were damaged, the effect would be greatly reduced.
There were a total of forty-five stalks of Sword God Grass. Chu Mu obtained three stalks and Xue Yinling also obtained three stalks. In fact, each of them obtained three stalks.
With the Sword God Grass in their hands, the three groups faced each other. They all wanted to obtain the Sword God Grass of the other two groups and even all the treasures in their interspatial rings.
However, no one made a move. Comparing the cultivation of the three groups, Chu Mu's group was the lowest. The other two groups were about the same. However, the problem was that they all wanted the other group's Sword God Grass.
"Everyone, now that each group has obtained fifteen stalks of Sword God Grass, there's no difference. If we make a move, it will undoubtedly be a waste of time. It's better to look for more treasures." Xu Guanying said. He had the cultivation of Minor Sovereign Realm like Dacheng, so his words carried a lot of weight.
The other two groups of people seemed to be discussing through voice transmission. Then, the two groups of people slowly retreated. However, their gazes were fixed on each other, preventing them from being ambushed in the process of retreating.
Chu Mu's group of five also slowly retreated. They were on high alert, guarding against the other two groups' attacks.
