The defensive power of the Ancient Sword Venerable's tomb was unexpectedly strong. Even though more than twenty people took turns to attack the same spot, it only created ripples and did not break.
The more it was like this, the more excited everyone was.
According to what they knew, if it was a relic left behind by a gold-level master, although its defensive power was strong enough, it could still be destroyed by a master ranked in the top 100 of the Silver List of the Milky Way. Now, two masters ranked in the top 30 of the Silver List of the Milky Way were unable to break through it. This was enough to prove that the tomb of the Ancient Sword Venerable was left behind by a demigod supreme master.
The excitement brought by guessing and affirmation were completely different.
Furthermore, it wasn't just the two of them who were ranked in the thirties of the Silver List. Everyone else was also ranked in the Silver List. Even with their combined attacks, they were still unable to break through the tomb. This was enough to show that Sword Venerable Gu, who had left behind this tomb, was not to be underestimated even among the King Grade.
All of them were full of motivation. Finally, under their continuous high-intensity attacks, the outer defensive power of the Ancient Sword Venerable's tomb finally showed some damage, allowing everyone to see hope.
After another series of attacks, the damage gradually increased. Finally, like a dam collapsing under an ant's nest, it quickly spread out and a huge gap appeared.
"It's broken."
"It's finally broken."
Immediately, their faces were filled with joy and excitement. In order to break this defense, they had spent a few days attacking continuously.
"Recover your strength and enter again," The Dark and Ancient Duo said. Although he wanted to monopolize it, with Jianming and Pu Yue there, he didn't have the chance.
They immediately took out all kinds of treasures to speed up their recovery. Soon, their auras surged, and their strength was restored.
The Dark and Ancient Duo's figure flashed, and they rushed into the gap. Jianming and Pu Yue's figure was like the wind, and they rushed into the defense almost at the same time. Then, the others rushed in one by one.
When Chu Mu entered, his face suddenly changed.
Outside the defense, he couldn't feel the aura inside, but after entering, an extreme sharpness rushed towards him. It was as if a heavenly sword was hanging in the air, but also as if he was trapped in a sea of sword qi, unable to extricate himself.
The extreme sharpness also contained an unparalleled ancient charm. Every time he breathed, he could clearly feel the fluctuations of the ancient charm, which constantly improved Chu Mu's comprehension of the Way of the Sword.
"What a great place to cultivate." Chu Mu thought to himself. If he could cultivate here for a period of time, his understanding of the Sword Dao would increase by a lot.
However, if they could obtain such benefits just by standing here, what would happen if they entered?
However, how was he going to enter?
The tomb looked very big, but no matter how big it was, it was still a tomb. There was no entrance. Chu Mu wasn't the only one who couldn't find the entrance. The others were the same. For a moment, the joy of breaking through the protective barrier disappeared.
He walked around the tomb and carefully searched, but he still couldn't find anything.
"Could it be that I have to use brute force to break it open?"
The Dark and Ancient Double Strike directly attacked. The two swords connected into a line and slashed down silently. The power was invisible and colorless. It hit the tomb directly. The invisible swords shattered instantly and turned into nothingness. The tomb was not affected at all. It was many times stronger than the protective barrier outside.
Apart from Chu Mu and Xue Yinling, the others kept attacking. Countless rays of light shot out and powerful fluctuations of power bombarded the tomb. However, they couldn't do anything to it.
Chu Mu stared at the tomb for a long time. His brain kept working. Then, he walked to the huge sword-shaped tombstone and stood still. He looked at the four words on the tombstone — Tomb of the Ancient Sword Venerable!
Chu Mu was sure that the previous scene wasn't an illusion. There might be some special mysteries in it.
Looking carefully, Chu Mu imagined himself holding a sword and drawing the four words on the tombstone. His essence, Qi, and Soul became one. Gradually, the fluctuations of the words on the tombstone condensed into one.
Suddenly, a wave of fluctuations came and covered Chu Mu's body. He couldn't resist.
In the next breath, Chu Mu disappeared in front of everyone's shocked eyes.
"Why did that strange race person disappear?"
"Did he enter the Sword Tomb?"
"The way to enter the Sword Tomb is probably on the tombstone."
They all came to a realization and rushed to the tombstone to study it.
The eyes of the Twin Darkness and Antiquity flashed with a dangerous light. He was very unhappy. It wasn't him who had entered the Sword Tomb first, but a strange race person. Although Pu Yue wasn't unhappy, she was a little surprised. She felt that she had underestimated that strange race person.
But no matter what, the most important thing now was to find the real way to enter the Sword Tomb.
…
Under the irresistible force, Chu Mu entered the Sword Tomb.
From the outside, the Sword Tomb was the size of a palace. The space inside was the same. It was really an ancient palace. It was an ancient dark bronze color that had settled down over the years.
Four huge pillars stood in four directions. Each pillar had an Azure Dragon on it. From the ground to the top, it was as if the Azure Dragon wanted to soar into the sky.
In the center of the deepest part, there was a seat. It was a huge ancient seat that was dark bronze in color. There was no one in it.
Chu Mu carefully examined his surroundings. Other than the four enormous pillars and seats, he could also vaguely see a few veined patterns on the four walls. These veined patterns crisscrossed, as if they were densely packed with sword scars. They contained their own mysteries and quickly attracted Chu Mu's attention.
When Chu Mu's attention was fully focused, the sword marks on the walls seemed to come alive. Chu Mu seemed to see a vigorous figure holding a sword and beginning to dance. Every sword was very simple and the trajectory was clear, but it contained a profound mystery that couldn't be explained with words.
It was a kind of true return to the origin. It was a uniqueness that broke away from the surface and went straight to the deepest level of mystery. It was a kind of profoundness that was incomparably compatible with the universe itself.
Sword after sword, it was a very basic and pure sword technique. But even the same stab contained a completely different profoundness.
He was immersed in it and forgot about everything. He didn't know how much time had passed.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Mu suddenly woke up and realized that he had already finished looking at all the sword scars on the four walls. He felt as if he had comprehended something, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't understand anything.
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound and a unique aura fluctuation descended. A blurry figure appeared on the huge seat and became the center of the hall.
"I am the first generation of the human race, the Immemorial Sword Venerable."
An ancient voice sounded. It was deep and slow, but it was powerful. Chu Mu was shocked.
This Tomb of the Immemorial Sword Venerable was actually the tomb of the Immemorial Sword Venerable.
"I don't know which generation of the human race you are from. It's fate that you and I are able to come here," the Immemorial Sword Venerable said. Immemorial Sword Sovereign's figure spoke slowly. Chu Mu listened quietly. He knew that this figure was only a consciousness left behind by Immemorial Sword Sovereign.
"Junior, this sword tomb contains my legacy. There are two legacies and you can only choose one."
"The first one is the sword technique that I have been practicing all my life. If you inherit it, your future achievements won't be inferior to mine."
Chu Mu was excited when he heard this.
The first generation of the Immemorial Sword Venerable was the founder of the Immemorial Sword City. He was a very powerful Demigod Sovereign. According to Pu Yue, the Immemorial Sword Venerable had challenged the strongest Kings of the Sky River Tribe and the Nether River Tribe and defeated them all.
As the two major tribes that were born from the Sky River Tribe and the Nether River Tribe, their combat power was much higher than that of humans of the same level. Their Demigod Sovereigns were also very powerful. The fact that the first generation of the Immemorial Sword Venerable could defeat all the Demigod Sovereigns of the Sky River Tribe and the Nether River Tribe showed how powerful he was.
There were differences among the Demigod Sovereigns. The first generation of the Immemorial Sword Venerable was undoubtedly one of the few top Demigod Sovereigns.
It was the dream of countless human sword cultivators to obtain his legacy. Even the current Primordial Sword Venerable would be very tempted.
Chu Mu suppressed the excitement in his heart and listened carefully to the words of the Immemorial Sword Venerable. He had said that there were two legacies and now he had only mentioned the first one.
"The second one is the comprehension of a higher realm after I reach the peak of the Demigod Sovereign."
Chu Mu couldn't stay calm when he heard this. His breathing became rapid and his chest rose and fell rapidly.
The comprehension of a higher realm after reaching the peak of the Demigod Sovereign!
This sentence revealed a message. The Demigod Sovereign wasn't the end of a cultivator. There was a higher realm above the Demigod Sovereign.
For a moment, Chu Mu fell into a dilemma.
If it was possible, he would definitely want both inheritances. One would allow him to steadily advance to the Demigod Sovereign level, or even reach the peak of the Demigod Sovereign level. The other would give him the possibility of advancing further. It could be said that he couldn't do without either one of them.
Chu Mu didn't understand. Since the Immemorial Sword Venerable wanted to leave behind his legacy, why did he separate the two legacies? Could it be that the two legacies didn't belong to the same lineage?
Just as he was thinking, the voice of the Immemorial Sword Venerable was heard again. "You can only choose one of the two legacies. Make your choice."
Chu Mu didn't reply immediately. He was in a dilemma.
How should he choose?
"Senior, why did you separate the two legacies?" Chu Mu tried to ask but didn't get any response. It was only the consciousness of the Immemorial Sword Venerable. The words were left behind by the Immemorial Sword Venerable and couldn't hear Chu Mu's question at all. Chu Mu wasn't disappointed. This was within his expectations.
"What choice do I have to make?" Chu Mu rubbed his forehead in distress. This was the first time in his life that he had fallen into such a dilemma. Like a fish and a bear's paw, he couldn't have both.
But no matter what, he had to make a choice in the end. Chu Mu raised his head and his eyes shone brightly.
"I choose …"
