Tiny!
After Chu Mu entered the palace and saw everything, he realized how tiny he was, just like an ant.
At this moment, there was no one in the palace. It was as if all the swordsmen had disappeared without a trace.
The palace was about a hundred meters tall and a few thousand meters wide and long. On all sides, there were closed doors that were ten meters tall.
At a glance, there were a total of a hundred doors.
Every door seemed to be made of some kind of metal. They were simple and heavy, and there were different carvings on each door. They looked like the carvings of wild beasts.
Other than that, the entire palace was empty. There was only a sword stele in the middle. The sword stele looked like an inverted sword.
Emptiness, desolation, vicissitudes of life!
For a moment, Chu Mu did not know what to do.
Choose a door to enter?
In a flash, Chu Mu quickly approached the sword stele. He found a paragraph of words on the sword stele and read it carefully.
"I see." After reading it, Chu Mu nodded.
It turned out that this palace was not the real Heaven Wasteland Palace. It was just an entrance to the Heaven Wasteland Palace. As for where the real Heaven Wasteland Palace was located, there was no explanation.
The content on the sword stele roughly said that there were a hundred doors. Pushing open different doors would lead to different places. There, one would undergo the test arranged by the Heaven Wasteland Palace for swordsmen. Only by passing the test would one be qualified to enter the real Heaven Wasteland Palace.
If one did not pass the test, there was only one outcome: death.
According to the records on the sword stele, opening different doors would lead to different places. Naturally, the test would be different. However, before entering, there was no way to know what the test would be. Therefore, there was no way to prepare in advance.
Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry to open the door. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and began to recover his Sword Aura cultivation, as well as his Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique's third layer Formless Protection Sword Aura, as well as his essence, energy, and soul. As for the wound on his left arm, it was quickly recovering.
Part of it was the effect of the blood-producing pill, and the other part was the pure spiritual qi obtained from the wild beasts he had hunted after entering the Heaven Wasteland Territory. Not only did it improve his explosive strength, reaction speed, and other aspects, even his self-healing ability had improved significantly.
About an hour later, Chu Mu's Tianyuan Sword Qi had completely recovered. Furthermore, he had made some progress in the Seventh Revolution and was not far from the Eighth Revolution.
Chu Mu estimated that when he broke through to the eighth revolution, he would also break through to the perfected Qi Transformation Realm.
In addition, the third layer of the Sword Qi Protective Secret Technique had also completely recovered. It now had the defensive ability of a low-grade armor. The wound on his left arm had also scabbed and fallen off, leaving only a faint scar. He believed that it would disappear soon.
"It's time." Chu Mu opened his eyes, got up, and rushed forward.
With a casual glance, Chu Mu quickly circled around and saw every pattern on the hundred doors clearly. They were wild beasts of different shapes and sizes.
"I wonder if these patterns have anything to do with the test?" After secretly pondering for a while, Chu Mu casually made a choice.
After all, he did not understand these things at all, and there was nothing to think about. He just followed his feelings and chose whichever one he first thought of.
In a flash, he appeared in front of the door. Chu Mu pressed his hands on the door and pushed with force.
"What! It doesn't move! " Chu Mu was secretly surprised. With this push, even if it was a thousand-kilogram heavy object, it would be moved by him, but the door did not move at all.
"It seems that just pushing the door open is already a test."
Taking a deep breath, the blood and qi in his body surged. The Tianyuan Sword Qi roared like a dragon. Chu Mu's power erupted in an instant, and his arms suddenly moved forward. Even a boulder weighing tens of thousands of kilograms would be moved in an instant.
However, the door only shook, and Chu Mu only pushed it a little.
Taking another deep breath, this time, Chu Mu's power erupted continuously, and he pushed it three times, pushing the door open a little more.
After pushing it again and again, after a total of ten times, the door opened a little. There was a flash of dense light, but he still could not enter, because the gap was too small.
After taking a few breaths, Chu Mu pushed the door again.
He was repeating the method of the swordsman who had entered before him. Finally, after pushing the door for the thirtieth time, the door opened a little enough for Chu Mu to enter.
In a flash, he directly entered through the gap and disappeared.
The door trembled slightly, as if someone was pushing it, and slowly closed.
A loud bang reverberated in the huge and empty palace.
After a long time, the loud noise quieted down.
Suddenly, in the empty palace, a shadow spread out from the sword stele in the center, and condensed into the figure of a middle-aged scholar in the air. He was dressed in a yellow robe, and his hands were behind his back. His eyes indifferently swept across the one hundred doors.
"The swordsmen who entered the underground palace this time are not bad. I wonder if any of them will be able to reach the end and obtain the Tianhuang sword token..." The middle-aged scholar's figure sighed, and there was an ancient vicissitude that came from the long river of history. "It has been ten thousand years, and no one has been able to obtain the Tianhuang sword token, I wonder..."
The voice gradually quieted down, and finally disappeared as the middle-aged scholar entered the sword stele again.
… …
"It was not easy to push the door open, but when I came in, there was not a single person in the hall. The other people who entered before me should have already pushed the door open and entered," Chu Mu thought. He appeared in an open space, and the air was a little humid.
"However, there were at least four or five hundred people who entered the palace. I can't be the only one who entered through the door, so why am I the only one here?"
"Did they pass the test or die, or did they enter a different test place after opening the same door?"
All kinds of questions circled in his heart.
Chu Mu looked around, and there seemed to be no end to this place. But what was interesting was that there were two walls on the left and right of Chu Mu, which seemed to be man-made.
The walls were very high, and there seemed to be no end to them. Even Chu Mu, who was in the air, could not see the end. The huge door had also disappeared, and it felt as if he had been teleported to another place.
There was a rich desolate aura here, and the spiritual aura was very thin. Even if Chu Mu had the Spirit Devouring Pearl on him, and constantly absorbed the spiritual aura, it was still very thin within a fifteen meter radius.
"There is water vapor, could there be water here?"
He walked forward, and the two walls that he could not see the top of became farther and farther away. Gradually, Chu Mu was not sure how far he had walked. He only saw a green expanse in the distance, and it seemed to be rippling water.
"Test? What kind of test is here? " Chu Mu thought to himself as he walked. Since he had entered this place until now, there had not been any abnormalities, and there had not been any hints, so he did not know what kind of test he had to go through.
For humans, the most worrying thing was not the difficulty, but the unknown.
As long as they knew what they had to face, no matter how difficult it was, they would think of a way. If there was no way, they could only wait for death, and that would make them feel more at ease.
However, the unknown was often the source of fear. In the unknown, it was inevitable that there would be all kinds of guesses. The more guesses one had, the more chaotic one's mind would be. Once it was chaotic, all kinds of distracting thoughts would grow, and it would be very disadvantageous to oneself.
Once fear appeared, it would occupy one's heart, and at that time, it would affect one's mind.
As soon as the distracting thoughts appeared, Chu Mu immediately sensed them and killed them.
His powerful soul force and sword aura gave him an even more resolute will, and he would not be affected by distracting thoughts, so his mind would not be disturbed and fear would not grow.
Unknowingly, Chu Mu had already walked to the edge of the swamp. In front of Chu Mu, the swamp was very shallow, and he could clearly see the sand and stones at the bottom. As he walked to the left and right, the swamp became deeper, and he could not see the bottom. It gradually turned from light blue to dark blue, and further away, it was dark blue, as if it stretched as far as the eye could see.
Looking at the dark blue color, Chu Mu felt his heart palpitate for no reason, as if there was an extremely terrifying existence hiding within.
In an instant, Chu Mu's vigilance was raised to the limit, and he paid attention to the movements around him. Seeing and Listening to Swords were raised to the limit, and not even the slightest movement could escape his senses.
The sound of water splashing could be heard, and Chu Mu saw black shadows appear at the bottom of the blue water on the left and right. They quickly swam over, and then broke out of the water.
Chu Mu squinted his eyes and stared at those black shadows, and the fingers of his right hand lightly flicked.
The black shadows that broke out of the water appeared in front of Chu Mu's eyes. Chu Mu's pupils rapidly contracted, and he was shocked by the scene he saw.
It was not a human, and he had already expected this.
However, the thing that appeared was actually a kind of exotic beast that was similar to a human walking on two feet, a kind of exotic beast with a ferocious, multi-colored fish head.
Fishmen!
Yes, this thing was a strange fish that had grown a pair of arms and legs similar to a human's, and then stood up and walked upright like a human.
"In the records I've read, other than exotic beasts, there were also records of exotic races, but they were very few. Could this kind of monster be an exotic race?" Chu Mu said to himself as he stared at the five fishmen.
After the five fishmen appeared, they each held a rusty pitchfork in their hands. They were extremely sharp, and their protruding eyes were filled with incomparable excitement and surprise. They seemed to be mumbling something, and seemed to be very excited.
This excitement, Chu Mu didn't feel like they were welcoming him. Looking at their open mouths and their shark-like sharp teeth constantly dripping with turbid saliva, it was more like they were treating him as delicious food and were about to divide and devour him.
"It doesn't matter if you are exotic beasts or exotic races, as long as you are an enemy, you will all die under my sword." Chu Mu drew his sword … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
