"An outsider will always be an outsider."
"You want to get the inheritance in the Heavenly River Ancient Temple? What a joke."
Seeing that Chu Mu had reached the top, the other Heavenly River Tribe members were very unhappy. After all, he was not a member of the Heavenly River Tribe, but an outsider. Even if the Heavenly River Tribe members were happy, they would not be happy about it.
Now that they saw that Chu Mu was sent out of the third floor by the power of the Heavenly River Ancient Temple and had no chance to enter the next floor, they felt very happy.
"What a pity." Goros and Mo Shaoshan said. As good friends, they hoped that Chu Mu could enter the fourth floor, but this was the rule of the Heavenly River Ancient Temple, and they had no choice.
…
The moment the voice sounded, Chu Mu was also wrapped in a magnificent force and was sent out of the third floor. When he reappeared, he was at the place where he had just entered the ancient temple, where he was comprehending the scripture on the pillar.
In his hand, there was an elixir. It was golden with nine dark golden lines on it. It was the Nine Revolutions Heaven River Elixir.
This Nine Revolutions Heaven River Elixir was a kind of compensation for Chu Mu.
After all, the Heavenly River Ancient Temple was a place for the Heavenly River Tribe to gain experience, and it was also a place of inheritance. The first three floors could be entered at will, but the fourth floor was the real place of inheritance. Although there were a thousand people who entered the third floor, only a few could enter the fourth floor and obtain the inheritance.
Chu Mu was an outsider, so he naturally did not have such an opportunity.
But then again, Chu Mu was satisfied.
After obtaining the Heavenly River Secret Manual and integrating the essence of it into the Truth Seeking Technique, it made the Truth Seeking Technique further enhance his strength. After entering the first floor of the ancient temple, he obtained some Silver Heavenly River Fruits and Silver Heavenly River Vines. These were all treasures that could increase his potential, increase the upper limit of his strength, and temper his strength. After consuming and refining them, his overall potential and strength were improved.
After that, he entered the second floor and fought in the corridor. He defeated group after group of Silver Swordsmen, which was equivalent to training his battle skills. During the battle with Jian Zhen, he took the opportunity to comprehend and master the power of vibration. This was another huge gain.
After entering the third level and comprehending the Astral River Quintessence, Qin Wentian's understanding of the Astral River Secret Manual had deepened. His understanding of the Astral River Secret Manual had also deepened. His understanding of the Astral River Secret Manual had also deepened.
Now that he had obtained two Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pills, even though he didn't know how effective they were, at least they were beneficial.
He had already gained a lot of benefits from entering the Ancient Heavenly River Palace. As an outsider, what was there to complain about?
After carefully inspecting his harvest, Chu Mu was shocked.
"The power of vibration has actually reached the first level?"
Previously, when he was on the second floor, after his battle with Jian Zhen, he had only managed to comprehend and grasp the power of vibration. He had only scratched the surface and had not even crossed the threshold. But now, he had actually reached the first level.
The power of vibration was divided into nine levels, and the lowest level was the first level. Jian Zhen had grasped the first level, and its power was astonishing.
Going directly from the superficial to the first level, under normal circumstances, without a few decades of hard work, it was very hard to do. Even if it was an exceptional genius, it would take at least a few years. However, Chu Mu had only used a very short amount of time to go from grasping the vibrating power to the first level.
"The Astral River Quintessence is really good stuff." Chu Mu thought. He was certain that the reason why his power of vibration could reach the first level so quickly was because he had comprehended the Astral River Quintessence. Although he had already comprehended the Astral River Quintessence, Chu Mu could continue to comprehend it until he reached the limit. At that time, his power of vibration would definitely increase by a lot.
"My current strength should be a lot stronger than before."
"I wonder how it compares to Si Guyuan?"
"Let's try refining the Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pill first."
After saying that, Chu Mu sat down in a corner of the hall and set up layers of formations to protect himself. Then, he took out a Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pill and threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.
A tyrannical medicinal efficacy suddenly erupted from the Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pill, like a torrent bursting through a dam, rushing into his body from top to bottom. Chu Mu's body trembled incessantly as a tyrannical power filled every part of his body. It felt as if his body was about to explode.
The Truth Seeking Technique was activated to the extreme, and the truth millstone was rotating at full speed. A true image of the truth millstone appeared behind Chu Mu's back, exuding an astonishing pressure that suppressed all directions.
The power contained in the Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pill was beyond Chu Mu's expectation. It was unbelievably tyrannical, but it did not cause Chu Mu's body to explode. Instead, it kept rotating in his body, cooperating with the refining of the truth millstone.
The power of the Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pill rotated nine times in a row, turning into nine circulatory cycles at the same time. It was being refined one by one. Along with the refining, a pure and majestic power was integrated into Chu Mu's body. Chu Mu felt that his potential was beginning to increase, and the upper limit of his strength was further increased. Moreover, his strength was increasing and becoming purer after being refined.
Potential was related to the ultimate height that a practitioner could reach. It was often innate and extremely difficult to improve. However, since Chu Mu came to the Heavenly River, he had improved many times. Now, his potential was several times more than before. One should know that his original potential was already very amazing, so it was even more unimaginable that his potential had increased by several times.
The upper limit of one's strength was related to the amount of power that could be accommodated in the same cultivation level.
The increase of the upper limit of one's strength would increase the capacity of one's strength. In a battle, one's strength would be more abundant. However, the increase of the upper limit of one's strength was not equal to the increase of the quantity of one's strength. The upper limit of one's strength was like a container, and one had to add things to the container.
The last step was naturally the refinement of one's strength.
Quantity alone was not enough, one must also have quality. Otherwise, one would be like a plate of loose sand, without enough power. For example, a large piece of tofu could be cut into pieces by a small knife.
Chu Mu did not expect that the result of his inspection of the Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pill was still insufficient. This pill had four effects, and each effect was very amazing.
His strength was rising steadily. Chu Mu was sure that when this Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pill was completely refined, his strength would certainly increase a lot.
The refining of the Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pill was not easy. It took three full days to refine it successfully.
After getting up, feeling the tyrannical power running wildly in his body, Chu Mu felt that he could smash the Ancient Heavenly River Palace with one punch. Of course, that was just an illusion. The power of the Ancient Heavenly River Palace was countless times stronger than his.
After calming down, Chu Mu began to practice his sword. What he practiced was only the basic swordsmanship, but it became more and more exquisite, returning to the original, and pointing straight to the Great Dao.
After practicing a few times, Chu Mu fully adapted to the increased strength. Once again, he entered the formation and took out the last Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pill.
He felt that he still had potential to increase and to continue to improve. Naturally, he would not miss it.
The refining time of the second Nine Revolutions Heaven River Pill was only two days. After refining, Chu Mu's strength became even stronger.
"In terms of strength, the current me has surpassed Jian Zhen." Chu Mu thought to himself.
Jian Zhen's strength was more than ten times that of an ordinary peak Silver expert. If Chu Mu surpassed him, it meant that the upper limit of his strength was more than ten times that of an ordinary peak Sovereign expert.
That was a very frightening concept.
The more powerful geniuses usually had an upper limit of two times the strength of cultivators of the same level. Being able to reach three times the strength was already very frightening. Being able to reach five times the strength was already at the level of peerless geniuses. Being able to reach ten times the strength was extremely rare. As for exceeding ten times the strength, it was hard to find a few since ancient times.
"I feel that my strength has reached the true limit." Chu Mu thought to himself after carefully sensing it.
This kind of limit was not the limit of a lack of treasures. It was the limit of one's own strength. Even a Demigod Sovereign had their own limits. Even the Primal Chaos Universe had its own limits. Chu Mu was indeed more outstanding than other cultivators, but that did not mean that he was omnipotent.
It was natural for him to reach the limit. He did not find it strange or regretful. What he needed to do now was to truly reach this limit and forge a perfect foundation. Then, he would seek a breakthrough and become a Sovereign.
After practicing the sword a few more times and stabilizing his body's strength, Chu Mu let out a breath. The current him was even less clear about his strength and what level he had reached. However, he was sure that he could at least enter the top three hundred of the Heavenly River Silver List. Even the top two hundred shouldn't be a problem. As for whether he could enter the top one hundred, he wasn't sure because he didn't have a clear reference.
Suddenly, Chu Mu's eyes brightened. He thought of some opponents. They were the flying beasts and pitch-black tentacles outside the ancient palace. Before, he had not been a match for any of them. But now, he could definitely face them head-on.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu walked toward the ancient palace's door. The door seemed to know that Chu Mu was going to leave, and it automatically opened a crack for Chu Mu to pass through before closing again.
Outside, there was nothing. The flying beasts and pitch-black tentacles were nowhere to be seen.
Chu Mu strode out. Although he was bold, he was still on guard. Not long after he left the ancient palace, Chu Mu sensed danger. As he moved to the side, a pitch-black tentacle broke through the ground. It was just a hair's breadth away from hitting Chu Mu.
After Chu Mu calmly dodged, the pitch-black tentacle abruptly swung. It was like a huge whip that was about to shatter the sky as it fiercely swung towards Chu Mu. That terrifying might brought about an earth-shattering pressure. As the wind blew, Chu Mu couldn't even breathe. However, his expression didn't change and was still calm.
