Chu Mu and Xue Yinling couldn't remember how long they had been away from the Origin Realm. They hadn't counted carefully, but it had been at least a few hundred years.
First, they had been flying in the void of the chaotic universe for dozens of years. They had entered the Sword God Mountain. Then, they had continued flying and entered the Phaseless World. After that, they had left the Phaseless World and reached the Heavenly River through the space-time wormhole. That had been more than a hundred years. Chu Mu had been wandering in the Heavenly River for more than two hundred years. Then, he had been traveling in the River Boundary for more than a hundred years.
It had been at least five hundred years.
To mortals, five hundred years was at least five cycles of life and death. However, five hundred years was nothing to Chu Mu and Xue Yinling. Now that they thought about it, it seemed like it had passed in the blink of an eye.
In these five hundred years, their cultivation had been constantly improving. They had gone from the lowest level of the Minor Sovereign Realm to the highest level of the Minor Sovereign Realm. They had reached the limit of the Minor Sovereign Realm. If they continued to improve, they would have to break through to the Great Sovereign Realm.
If they had cultivated in the Origin Realm for five hundred years, with their talent, they could have reached the limit of the Minor Sovereign Realm. Then, they could only choose to break through after further strengthening their foundation. However, before they broke through, their strength would have been raised to the limit. They couldn't improve much more.
Breaking through to the Great Sovereign Realm was very difficult for many Minor Sovereign Realm experts. However, for Chu Mu and Xue Yinling, it was just a little difficult.
Now, after traveling, especially when they had accidentally arrived at the Heavenly River Boundary and other places in the universe, they had seen more power. They had also obtained more treasures that could increase their potential and the upper limit of their strength. After mastering the Heavenly River's power and the Nether River's power, their strength would become even stronger at the same level of the Minor Sovereign Realm.
Even if their cultivation didn't improve and they didn't break through to the Great Sovereign Realm, they could still continue to cultivate and improve their strength.
Now, their cultivation couldn't improve, but there was still room for improvement. They had to use the power of vibration and the power of ice.
Chu Mu's vibration power had reached the sixth level, and Xue Yinling's power of ice had reached the fourth level.
This kind of power was very powerful, and the further one progressed, the more difficult it would be to improve.
It was a hundred-meter-long greatsword that was covered in unique patterns. Those patterns condensed into runes, and each rune emitted an ancient aura. As the greatsword flew forward, each rune flickered with a faint light. They were constantly swallowing the power of the universe to provide energy for the greatsword.
This hundred-meter-long giant sword was the Primordial Divine Sword Boat that Chu Mu had left behind by the first Primordial Sword Lord.
If Chu Mu and Xue Yinling wanted to return to the Origin Realm, they would have to fly for many years on Xue Yinling's Domain-crossing Flying Ship. After all, the distance between the universe and the Origin Realm was unimaginably far. It might take them 100,000 years or even a million years to fly at full speed. It was no different from not being able to return.
The Primordial Divine Sword Boat was different. This was a flying ship secret treasure left behind by the first Primordial Sword Lord. It was a secret treasure that surpassed the Great Dominator level and reached the Demigod Sovereign level. Its normal flying speed was more than a thousand times faster than the Domain-crossing Flying Ship's full speed. If it flew at full speed, it could be ten times faster.
In other words, perhaps Chu Mu and Xue Yinling would only need about a hundred years to return to the Origin Realm from the universe.
This kind of speed made them feel horrified.
As a Demigod Sovereign level treasure, the Primordial Divine Sword Boat had a spirit. It could control the Primordial Divine Sword Boat to fly to the Origin Realm. Chu Mu and Xue Yinling could then focus on cultivating.
They had found many treasures in the River Boundary this time, and they needed time to refine them one by one.
For example, Chu Mu and Xue Yinling each had two stalks of Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass. They started to consume and refine them.
The seclusion room was completely sealed. Even if an expert at the limit of the Great Dominator Realm attacked with all his might, he wouldn't be able to shake it. It was enough to withstand the attack of a Demigod Sovereign. It was extremely safe.
Taking out a stalk of Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass, Chu Mu put it in his mouth and chewed it. An indescribable liquid entered his mouth and swallowed it.
Cold and hot auras spread and burst out instantly, sweeping through every part of his body. Chu Mu's body changed into half golden-red and half dark green. It wasn't fixed but flowed like water. That was the power of the Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass. It was constantly refining Chu Mu's essence, vital energy, and spirit.
Not only was his body alternating between hot and cold, but his spiritual will was also enduring the alternating hot and cold. That feeling couldn't be described with words. It seemed painful and comfortable.
Chu Mu spent a year to completely refine a stalk of Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass. At the same time, his potential increased by 30%.
Chu Mu was shocked.
One had to know that Chu Mu's potential had more than doubled after consuming the Heavenly River Vital Energy, Heavenly River Fruit, Heavenly River Pill, and other treasures. Now, it had increased by 30%. It was unimaginable.
In addition, the upper limit of his strength had also increased by 30%.
"There's still one more stalk of Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass. I wonder if it can increase by another 30%?" Chu Mu guessed secretly. He was extremely excited. If it could increase by another 30%, his potential would be too terrifying.
He took out the second stalk of Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass and consumed it.
This time, Chu Mu spent half a year to completely refine the Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass.
"It's only 20%. What a pity."
"But thinking about it, after consuming the first stalk, I already have a certain resistance. It's normal for the second stalk's effect to weaken. Moreover, the 20% increase of the second stalk is on the basis of the 30% increase of the first stalk. The difference isn't that big."
Although it didn't reach 30% again, Chu Mu was very satisfied.
On the basis of consuming the Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass, his potential had increased by more than 50%. In addition, the upper limit of his strength had also increased by more than 50%.
Xue Yinling's refining speed was slower than Chu Mu's. She hadn't finished refining the first stalk of Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass yet.
"The upper limit of my strength has increased. My Dantian is much emptier now." Chu Mu secretly thought. He cultivated with all his might.
The runes on the Primordial Sacred Sword Boat could automatically absorb the power of the universe and convert it into pure energy for the Primordial Sacred Sword Boat to fly. At the same time, a small part of it would seep into the flying boat for the cultivator to absorb.
This kind of pure energy was of an extremely high level. Chu Mu didn't feel any pressure when absorbing it. His cultivation didn't increase, but his strength kept accumulating and increasing.
Half a year later, Xue Yinling finished refining the first stalk of Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass. Her potential had increased by 50% compared to Chu Mu's.
Of course, this was also because Xue Yinling didn't have all kinds of opportunities like Chu Mu. Her potential was far less than Chu Mu's. Therefore, it was reasonable for her to increase her potential by 50% after refining one stalk of Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass.
Then, Xue Yinling started refining the second stalk of Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass. This time, it only took her a year to completely refine it. After refining it, Xue Yinling's potential had increased by more than 40%.
Similarly, her upper limit of her strength had increased twice. Once by 50%, and once by 40%.
Feeling a sense of emptiness in her body, Xue Yinling's little face was secretly excited. She hurried to cultivate. A large amount of pure energy immediately poured into her body and quickly transformed into her own strength. The accumulation of her strength kept increasing.
In a flash, 10 years had passed. The Primordial Sacred Sword Boat had left the Milky Way of the universe and kept flying towards the Origin Realm.
In 10 years, Chu Mu and Xue Yinling had both come out of seclusion.
This was because their potential had increased to an extremely high level. Unless they had treasures that were better than the Heavenly Underworld Primordial Grass, they could only increase their potential further. However, such things could only be found in the River Boundary.
In addition, their strength had been accumulated to the extreme. With a slight thought, it was like the Milky Way was surging. It was very terrifying.
"I wonder if my strength can be compared to the experts of the Great Dominator Realm?" Chu Mu thought to himself.
Chu Mu's cultivation was at the limit of the Small Dominator Realm. However, in terms of the purity and quantity of his strength, it was dozens of times more than an ordinary limit of the Small Dominator Realm. It might even be higher. As for the experts of the Great Dominator Realm, in terms of the purity and quantity of their strength, it was about 100 times more than an ordinary limit of the Small Dominator Realm.
"With my current strength, I might be able to fight an ordinary Great Dominator Realm expert and not lose." Chu Mu thought to himself again.
Challenging someone of a higher level was nothing to him. However, the gap between the Small Dominator Realm and the Great Dominator Realm was extremely large. Chu Mu didn't dare to guarantee it. It was just a guess, but the possibility wasn't small.
"Next, it's time to increase the grades of the All-heavens Swords."
In the River Boundary, he had found hundreds of pieces of Milky Way Metal Essence and Styx Silver God Steel. It was enough to increase the grades of the All-heavens Swords by a small grade. However, Chu Mu planned to only increase the All-heavens Swords that had reached the limit of the Small Dominator Realm high grade to the Great Dominator Realm low grade.
It had to be known that the Small Dominator Realm was much easier to increase than the Great Dominator Realm.
Xue Yinling didn't need that much Milky Way Metal Essence. She only needed one piece and a piece of Dark Heaven Primordial Copper. This was because she only had one sword.
Within the secret room, a sword appeared in front of Chu Mu. The sword gave off a shocking golden light. It was incomparably sharp and could pierce through anything. It was the All-heavens Golden Sword. It had already reached the limit of the Small Dominator Realm high grade. Shortly after, a piece of Milky Way Metal Essence appeared. Under the high temperature of Chu Mu's strength, it started to melt bit by bit.
When the Milky Way Metal Essence completely melted into a drop of golden liquid, it flew towards the All-heavens Golden Sword. It instantly spread out and enveloped the All-heavens Golden Sword. Bit by bit, it seeped into the All-heavens Golden Sword. Then, an even more vast and terrifying sharpness burst out from the All-heavens Golden Sword and swept in all directions.
