The route that Chu Mu took was straight. In other words, it was a straight line from the Black Dragon Mountain all the way to the Chaos Demon Plains.
On the straight line, there were mountains, rivers, forests, valleys, deserts, and so on. Chu Mu had to pass through them one by one to reach the Chaos Demon Plains.
Although Duanmu Xingkong said that the Chaos Demon Plains was a very good place to gain experience, the journey to the Chaos Demon Plains was also a way to gain experience.
After leaving the Black Dragon Mountain, Chu Mu did not use any movement techniques, nor did he use sword qi. He simply used his physical strength to move forward. At the same time, Chu Mu divided his mind into two. While paying attention to his surroundings, he swallowed the Desolate Elixir and used part of his mind to drive the pure Desolate Qi to temper his bones.
The difficulty of tempering the bones was much simpler than the bone marrow. It was similar to tempering the internal organs. However, each internal organ was not big, and the bones were connected to every part of the body. Therefore, it was not a small project.
Chu Mu's bone tempering started from the soles of his feet. After the soles of his feet, it spread to his ankles and then went up step by step. Finally, it was the tempering of his skull. Once the tempering of his skull was completed, it meant that the cultivation of the third part of the Heavenly Wasteland Sword Body was completed. He could then enter the cultivation of the fourth part.
The idea of cultivating the Heavenly Wasteland Sword Body while walking in the center was also something that Chu Mu had just thought of.
Although walking was also a kind of cultivation, it referred to the long walk to sharpen one's willpower, temperament, and so on. If one could cultivate other things during the long walk, it could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Otherwise, if he wanted to walk from the Black Dragon Mountain to the Chaos Demon Plains, with Chu Mu's current speed, it would take at least two to three months. Every day, he would only have some opportunities to cultivate at night. Wouldn't that be too little?
The sun was shining high in the sky, and rays of light shone on the earth, covering everything in a layer of golden luster.
On the road, there were pedestrians coming and going. Some were riding horses and carriages, while others were walking like Chu Mu.
However, those who walked on foot were usually in groups of three to five. People like Chu Mu who walked alone with a sword were extremely rare. Therefore, every time someone saw Chu Mu, their eyes would fall on him and look at him a few more times. They were a little surprised and secretly guessed who this person was.
Chu Mu's sword Qi had already reached the peak of Qi Transformation. However, he had done his best to conceal the ripples of his sword Qi. As a result, regular swordsmen would not be able to see through Chu Mu at all. They would not know what his sword Qi cultivation was like.
However, looking at Chu Mu's young age, he didn't seem to be even twenty years old. Naturally, the cultivation of his Sword Qi shouldn't be that high. It would already be pretty good if he could reach the Initial Qi Transformation Realm. If he could reach the Initial Qi Transformation Realm, that would be the limit.
Chu Mu didn't care about what other people thought. He just kept walking forward. He climbed mountains, waded through rivers, and crossed through forests. The path he took was the same as the straight line he had marked on the map in the Sword Mansion. There was not the slightest change.
After a month, Chu Mu completed the cultivation of his bones as he wished. He also used pure Desolate Qi to cleanse his bones and marrow, causing the relationship between the two to become even closer.
At this point, he had completed the cultivation of the third section of the Tianhuang Sword Body, the bones section.
Similarly, Chu Mu didn't use the Tianyuan sword Qi to protect himself during this month because of the long journey. As a result, there were many tears in his long robe and a lot of dust and dirt stuck to it. In addition, the shoes on his feet were also worn out. This made Chu Mu look like a destitute man who lived a difficult life.
His black hair was disheveled and half of his face was covered. His face was dark, making people think that he was a savage who had run out from the deep mountains and forests.
Chu Mu didn't care at all. His mind and soul had become very clear after a month of trekking. This clarity made him feel that his soul seemed to have become purer and his Spiritual Power had increased slightly.
More importantly, his 70% Cloud Concept had naturally broken through to 71% without deliberately comprehending it. Although his 50% Tearing Concept hadn't broken through, he felt that it was ready to move.
As he walked, Chu Mu didn't pay attention to anything else. He was immersed in his own comprehension and cultivation.
The fourth section of the Tianhuang Sword Body was the Meridians section. It was to temper the meridians to the point of transforming them into Tianhuang. Once the meridians were transformed into Tianhuang, they would become tougher and more tyrannical. At that time, they would be able to withstand the impact of stronger Sword Qi.
However, the meridians were like the bones that connected the entire body. However, compared to the bones, the meridians were many times more complicated.
Therefore, the time and the number of Tianhuang Elixirs needed to complete the transformation of the meridians would probably exceed the consumption of the bones.
Until now, in order to complete the transformation of the bones, Chu Mu had basically used up all the Tianhuang Elixirs he had obtained from the Heaven Elixir Pavilion in Border City. In other words, he would need to use Ancient Tianhuang Elixirs to cultivate the Meridians section.
"Eighteen Ancient Tianhuang Elixirs. I wonder how far I can cultivate the Tianhuang Sword Body?" Chu Mu thought to himself.
Even if he consumed all eighteen Ancient Tianhuang Elixirs, he wouldn't be able to complete the cultivation of the Tianhuang Sword Body. At that time, without the assistance of the Tianhuang Elixirs, the cultivation speed of the Tianhuang Sword Body would be greatly reduced. He didn't know how long it would take to complete the cultivation.
For a moment, Chu Mu couldn't think of any solution, so he could only leave it at that.
Today, Chu Mu climbed over a hill. The sky was dark, and there happened to be an ancient temple at the foot of the hill.
The ancient temple had long been dilapidated. One-fifth of the roof tiles were completely broken, revealing the beams. There were countless cracks on one side of the wall, as if it would collapse at any time, but it still stood firm.
Waves of flickering flames penetrated through the cracks, indicating that there were people in the ancient temple.
When Chu Mu appeared at the entrance of the ancient temple, several sharp gazes immediately shot over and landed on Chu Mu. They were as sharp as sword radiance.
Chu Mu didn't care at all. He only glanced around and saw the male and female swordsmen next to the bonfire in the ancient temple. He retracted his gaze and walked into a corner of the ancient temple to sit down, ignoring everyone else.
"Where did you come from? Don't you know how to greet us before entering? Isn't that too rude?" One of the swordsmen sitting beside the bonfire suddenly raised his eyebrows and stared at Chu Mu with a mocking expression.
The other swordsmen frowned.
"Is this ancient temple your personal property?" Chu Mu calmly replied.
"No." The first person was stunned. The other party was startled for a moment before replying. Soon after, he revealed an angry expression. He was angry that this disheveled barbarian actually dared to refute him. He gripped the hilt of his sword and sword qi surged from his body, causing the bonfire in front of him to sway crazily. The burning of the tree branches made crackling sounds. "This ancient temple has already been used by the few of us. We are the temporary owners of this ancient temple. You barged in without the permission of the owner and even dared to refute. Scram immediately, otherwise don't blame my sword for being merciless."
His words were very decisive, and there was a bit of killing intent. It seemed that if Chu Mu didn't leave the ancient temple, he would draw his sword and cut down Chu Mu.
Sometimes, the world of swordsmen was just so unreasonable. It was not uncommon for people to draw their swords and spill blood over a single word.
The other swordsmen also looked at Chu Mu with different expressions, but no one said anything to stop him.
Chu Mu glanced at them. There were a total of five people, three men and two women. They seemed to be between 25 and 30 years old, and their sword Qi cultivation was also different.
The strongest was at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm and should be around 30 years old. He had a calm expression and seemed to be the leader of the five. The weakest was at the peak of the initial Qi Condensation Realm. The other three were all Qi Condensation Dacheng.
The person threatening Chu Mu was one of the three Qi Condensation Dacheng swordsmen.
These five people should be from some sword sect or power, or they could be from some large clan. The possibility of them being scattered swordsmen was very small.
No matter what their identities were, in Chu Mu's eyes, they were just five ants. Even the most powerful swordsman, who was at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, could be killed by Chu Mu in one breath.
At this moment, there was an intense flash of light, followed by the sound of thunder. The rumbling sound caused everyone to look up.
After three breaths of time, there was the sound of rain pouring down.
The large raindrops hit the tiles of the ancient temple, creating a cacophony of sounds. The pitter-patter never stopped. Fortunately, the corner Chu Mu chose was relatively intact and wouldn't be splashed by the raindrops.
"Okay, this ancient temple is not small. It doesn't matter if he's here or not." At this moment, the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm swordsman said in a deep voice. He was very dignified among the five people. After he spoke, the Dacheng swordsman coldly glanced at Chu Mu and sat back down.
Chu Mu closed his eyes and divided his mind into two parts. One part was focused on the outside, and the other part was focused on the inside.
"I didn't expect such a heavy rain. I hope it won't delay our journey."
"The battle between the Gold Fragment Sword Hero and the Wild Dragon Sword Hero will be in two days. According to our speed, we can definitely arrive before the battle."
Chu Mu's expression suddenly changed. The battle between the Gold Fragment Sword Hero and the Wild Dragon Sword Hero?
In the entire Kun Dynasty, there were only eighty-one people who had the title of Sword Hero. Every one of them was a famous person. Their strength was very strong, and they were at the top of the Qi Hai realm.
The battle between the two Sword Heroes could be said to be a grand event.
Involuntarily, Chu Mu pricked up his ears and listened attentively to the conversation of the five people. The five people also seemed to have forgotten about Chu Mu. Perhaps they thought that Chu Mu was not a threat to them, or that the content of their conversation was not top secret. Thus, they did not intentionally avoid Chu Mu.
As they talked, more information about the Gold Fragment Sword Hero and the Wild Dragon Sword Hero was obtained by Chu Mu. Moreover, the location of the battle between the two Sword Heroes was also known to Chu Mu. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
