The deaths of the Tiger Cave Snake and Yunzhong He did not attract the attention of others.
Firstly, no one saw Chu Mu kill the three of them with their own eyes. After killing them, Chu Mu did not care about their corpses and only took away the valuable items.
Therefore, even if someone saw the corpses later and recognized them, they would only be surprised. They would not know who did it. Since they did not know who killed the three of them, it was naturally not that shocking.
Secondly, there was an even bigger matter. The appearance of the Heaven Wasteland Giant Beast confirmed the authenticity of the legend.
Then, since the legend of the Heaven Wasteland Giant Beast was true, then the legends that existed after the Heaven Wasteland Giant Beast should also be true.
"Heaven Wasteland Underground Palace …" Inside the cave, Chu Mu looked outside. His eyes became deep. Ever since he killed three of the Five Evils of the Desolate Border, he had been staying inside the cave to cultivate.
In these few days, there was a constant stream of news regarding the legend of the Heaven Wasteland Underground Palace. This news allowed Chu Mu to have a more direct understanding of the so-called Heaven Wasteland Underground Palace.
It was rumored that the last time the Heaven Wasteland Underground Palace appeared was three thousand years ago. At that time, a Heaven Wasteland Giant Beast also appeared. Around ten days after that Heaven Wasteland Giant Beast appeared, the Heaven Wasteland Underground Palace also appeared.
Following that, many people flipped through various ancient books to find records regarding the Heaven Wasteland Giant Beast and the Heaven Wasteland Underground Palace. They also found many records left behind.
It turned out that the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace had already appeared twelve thousand years ago, and after that, it would appear once every three thousand years. Every time it appeared, a Heaven Wasteland Giant Beast would appear first, and no one knew where it would fly to.
It could be said that every time a Heaven Wasteland Giant Beast appeared, it was a sign of the Heaven Wasteland Underground Palace's appearance.
As for whether it was the same ten thousand years ago, it was hard to know because the ancient books that those people looked through at most recorded ten thousand years ago.
And every time the Heaven Wasteland Underground Palace disappeared, within three thousand years, generation after generation, it gradually became a legend that was buried in the torrent of history until the next time it appeared in the world.
Dozens of Red-crowned Cranes landed in the mining area and were managed by specialized people. A large group of people quickly headed towards Chu Mu's cave.
The restrictions outside were suddenly triggered. Chu Mu walked outside and was immediately stunned. He saw a few familiar faces. They were the students on the Great Kun Sword Abode's Bronze Sword List.
"Junior Brother Chu, you really are here." A hearty voice laughed.
"Senior Brother Zhuge … Senior Sister Han …" Chu Mu cupped his hands. He suddenly recalled that perhaps they had come here for the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace of the modern world.
There were more than sixty students on the Bronze Sword Ranking. Ten Thousand Pan Fu She, Ye Xiaokai, and Zhu Tianzhao were among them. Other than Zhu Tianzhao, who was coldly staring at Chu Mu and did not greet him, the others nodded at Chu Mu. Zhu Tianzhao was surprised that Chu Mu was still alive and had not been killed.
Other than the sixty students on the Bronze Sword List, there were eleven other people he had never seen before. They all looked to be in their fifties or sixties.
After introductions, ten of the eleven people were elders from the ten academies of the inner palace. The last one was the Great Elder of the inner palace.
The ten elders and the Great Elder all knew about Chu Mu because they had personally seen Chu Mu's performance in the Sword Art King Competition. They were very shocked by Chu Mu's sword art and subconsciously felt that even they might not be a match for Chu Mu in terms of sword art.
After that, Chu Mu had entered the inner palace for less than a year and obtained the 100th place on the Bronze Sword List. This was also a shocking matter. Naturally, the elders were more familiar with Chu Mu.
Towards a genius student like Chu Mu, the elders' attitudes were clearly very kind.
Even the Great Elder, who usually did not smile, smiled at Chu Mu and greeted him. This made the other students somewhat envious, especially Zhu Tianzhao, who was incomparably jealous.
Why did Chu Mu become the focus of everyone's attention? Was he only the 100th place on the Bronze Sword List?
People were like this. If you liked someone, you would think that their actions were good. Once you did not like someone, even if they were doing something good, you would think that they were just trying to please the crowd.
After a round of introductions, everyone explained their intentions. Chu Mu also confirmed that they were indeed here for the so-called Heaven Wasteland Palace.
"The Underground Palace has appeared …" A sword guard who heard the news roared.
"Let's go." The group immediately left the mining area and quickly headed towards the Heaven Wasteland Valley.
"This time, in addition to our Great Kun Sword Mansion, the people from the four major sword sects will definitely appear." An elder said.
"I think, in addition to the people from the four major sword sects, the people from the Proud Moon House and the Scattered Sword Alliance should also appear."
"It's normal for them to appear. We can't stop them. However, the people from the Black Hawk Dynasty and the Black Hawk Sword Mansion will definitely not allow them to enter the Underground Palace."
"That's right. Half of the Heaven Wasteland Mountain Range is within the Black Hawk Dynasty. The Heaven Wasteland Valley is close to the border of the Black Hawk Dynasty. The people from the Black Hawk Sword Mansion will definitely know about this phenomenon. It's inevitable that they will appear. However, no matter what, they can't let their students enter the Heaven Wasteland Palace."
The Great Kun Dynasty and the Black Hawk Dynasty had always been enemies. Therefore, the people from the Great Kun Sword Mansion and the Black Hawk Sword Mansion would naturally not get along well.
One by one, they used their movement techniques and quickly headed towards the Heaven Wasteland Valley.
At the same time, there was also a large group of people from other directions. They were wave after wave heading towards the Heaven Wasteland Valley. Looking at their clothes, it was clear that they came from different forces.
Not long after, Chu Mu and dozens of people arrived at the Heaven Wasteland Valley. Without stopping, they directly entered the Heaven Wasteland Valley and quickly headed towards the center of the Heaven Wasteland Valley.
This was decided by the Elders of the Sword Mansion. It was said that the Heaven Wasteland Palace would appear at a fixed location, which was the center of the Heaven Wasteland Valley.
Many people rushed into the Heaven Wasteland Valley. Many Swordsmen who were looking for Spiritual Herbs like the Heaven Wasteland Root in the Heaven Wasteland Valley were alerted and followed them to the center of the Heaven Wasteland Valley.
After a while, the students of the Great Kun Sword Mansion arrived at the center of the Heaven Wasteland Valley. They were all stunned.
In front of them, they saw a huge bronze gate. The gate was 100 meters tall and stood on the ground of the Heaven Wasteland Valley. It emitted a heavy and ancient desolate aura.
The bronze gate was tightly shut. The runes on it were unusually clear and filled with various mysterious forces. At one glance, everyone felt that their souls were shocked and could not move for a while.
Simple, heavy, and ancient!
On the bronze gate, there was an aura that had settled down over the years. It was like the mottled brilliance left behind by the river of time.
"Is this the Heaven Wasteland Palace?" After a long while, someone muttered to himself. He could not hide the shock in his voice.
"According to the records, this should be the gate of the Heaven Wasteland Palace. Once it is opened, we can enter the Heaven Wasteland Palace." An Elder said with a dazed look. Even with his cultivation that was far beyond the Qi Hai Realm, he could not maintain his composure. He was almost lost in the ancient aura of the bronze gate.
As for the Qi Transformation Realm Swordsmen, they were all shocked and almost lost in the vicissitudes of history.
Chu Mu was the first Qi Transformation Realm Swordsmen to wake up. He could not help but feel frightened. If someone attacked him at this time, he would definitely die.
At the same time, they were filled with fear towards the bronze door. Amidst their fear, there was also a deep sense of curiosity.
After a while, the others also woke up and were still amazed.
Chu Mu glanced around and found that other than the people of the Great Kun Sword Mansion, there were many people surrounding the bronze gate. Judging from their clothes, they were Swordsmen from different forces.
The Swordsmen from the Great Kun Sword Mansion were divided into seven groups according to their camps.
There was one place Chu Mu recognized because the clothes they were wearing were the clothes of Wang Long and his two senior brothers who had died under his sword. They were exactly the same, clearly coming from Mo Luo Sword Sect's swordsmen.
In addition, there were other uniform clothes. They should be Swordsmen from the King Kong Sword Sect, Black Water Sword Sect, and Real Flame Sword Sect.
"… …" The Great Elder introduced the different forces to the students: "The people over there are from the Proud Moon Tower, and the people over there are from the Scattered Sword Alliance. The other group should belong to the Scattered Sword Alliance, and the other group should belong to the Scattered Sword Alliance."
The four major sword sects, the Proud Moon Tower, the Scattered Sword Union, the pure Scattered Sword Swordsmen, and the Great Kun Sword Mansion. There were a total of eight camps of Swordsmen gathered at the bronze gate of the Heaven Wasteland Palace, waiting for the bronze gate to open.
Naturally, they had also discovered each other. Thus, they began to tease each other. No matter what, people from different camps were competitors to them.
"The strength of each of the four major sword sects is comparable to the strength of our Sword Mansion. Therefore, the strength of their Inner Palace students is also very strong. They are comparable to the students on the Bronze Sword Ranking of our Sword Mansion. As for the Proud Moon Tower and the Scattered Sword Union, although they are not as strong as our Sword Mansion, they also have some genius swordsmen who are comparable to the top ten of the Bronze Sword Ranking of our Sword Mansion." The First Elder said slowly: "According to the records, after the gate of the Heaven Wasteland Palace opens, only Swordsmen below the Qi Hai Realm can enter. Therefore, they are all your competitors."
Chu Mu had already heard that only Sword Artists under the Qi Hai Realm could enter, so he wasn't the slightest bit surprised.
While waiting for the bronze gate to open, the disciples of the four major sword sects were teasing and teasing each other. Chu Mu found that Zhuge Ming and the others seemed to know some of the disciples of the four major sword sects and the Proud Moon Tower's Scattered Sword Union. However, their relationship was not very good. Listening to their tit-for-tat tone, there seemed to be some animosity between them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Mu gradually learned about the people of the four major sword sects, the Proud Moon Tower, and the Scattered Sword Union who were more powerful and worthy of his attention.
