(Second Update)
"They didn't chase after me."
Inside the fork, Chu Mu let out a sigh of relief.
He wasn't confident that he could get rid of them, but he had to try. It would be best if he could get rid of them, but if he couldn't, then he had to be prepared to fight for his life.
The twelve Peak Qi Transforming Swordsmen were still manageable, but the key was the three Qi Hai Realm warriors. Chu Mu could definitely kill them one on one, but if the three of them worked together with the twelve Peak Qi Transforming Swordsmen, even a Qi Transforming Swordsman like Dacheng would have a hard time dealing with them.
Luckily, the dozen Swordsmen didn't choose the leftmost fork, but the rightmost one.
Relaxing his mind, Chu Mu increased his speed.
He had two questions in his mind.
First, why are there so many forks in this cave? Moreover, it has been at least an hour since I entered the cave. Apart from the passageways and forks, there is nothing else. There is no sign of any treasures or whatnot.
Second: According to the rumors, this was a cave left behind by an Astral Realm warrior or someone who had surpassed the Astral Realm or even the Sword Of Gojoseon, then even other Astral Realm warriors would be tempted. But out of the hundreds of Swordsmen who came here, the strongest one was only at the Peak Qi Hai Realm or someone as fierce as the Sky Slaughterer. Why was this so?
There were only two possibilities. First, there was a restriction that prevented those who were above the Qi Hai Realm from entering. Second, this cave wasn't left behind by an Astral Realm warrior, and it was impossible for it to be left behind by someone who had surpassed the Astral Realm or even the Sword Of Gojoseon. This was why it wasn't attractive to Nine Transformation Realm and Astral Realm Swordsmen.
As for whether there were other possibilities, Chu Mu wasn't sure. All in all, it was a fact that no Swordsmen above the Qi Hai Realm had come here.
Could it be that this was just a misunderstanding?
Chu Mu suddenly thought of this possibility. As he thought about it, he continued to move forward. Unknowingly, he had reached the end of the fork.
Just as Chu Mu was wondering if there would be another twelve forks, he saw a lonely pavilion in front of him. The entire pavilion stood in the middle of the cave, looking very strange.
The pavilion was nameless and had a total of two floors. Vaguely, Chu Mu seemed to see the power of a seal.
Chu Mu looked around and checked carefully. He didn't find anything, so he focused all his attention on the pavilion.
He gently shot out a strand of sword Qi, which was instantly obliterated by the sealing power of the pavilion. However, it only caused ripples on the surface of the seal, which slowly spread out.
Instead of attacking again, Chu Mu focused on the faintly discernible sealing power. He was calculating the strength of this sealing power and whether or not he could break it.
After ten breaths of time, Chu Mu's right hand flashed like lightning as the Swift Void Sword left its scabbard. The powerful sword was like a bolt of lightning as it pierced through the barrier of the pavilion.
Not only did this sword have 1% of the sword force, but it also activated the Stone Trembling Force at the last moment when it stabbed into the seal. With one sword strike, the seal instantly caved in by several centimeters, and ripples continuously spread out under the Stone Trembling Force, but it did not break.
On the contrary, the seal suddenly exploded with a rebounding force. This force was very tyrannical, and it was not inferior to Chu Mu's sword strike at all.
Chu Mu's sword was suddenly bounced back, and the blade was slightly bent. A shockwave passed through the blade and rushed towards Chu Mu's hand like lightning.
"Stone Trembling Second Drive!" Chu Mu shouted in his mind, and the muscles in his upper body trembled at a high frequency. Waves of tyrannical power instantly erupted, surging like a tidal wave towards his right arm. The muscles in his right arm swelled and contracted, and they vibrated at an extremely fast speed, instantly transferring all the power in his body to his palm.
The two forces collided in his palm, and in an instant, the two forces formed a unique spiral under Chu Mu's control, merging into one and rushing towards the Swift Void Sword.
The Swift Void Sword instantly vibrated at an even higher frequency, and a double shockwave reached the tip of the sword.
His arm suddenly thrust forward, and the sword pierced out again, still with 1% of the sword's power.
The powerful seal once again caved inwards. This time, the rebound force hadn't even been generated yet, and the seal had already reached its limit. A "bo" sound rang out, sounding extremely crisp in Chu Mu's ears.
Like a bubble bursting, the seal on the pavilion was also pierced by Chu Mu's Stone Trembling Second Drive.
Once a part of the seal was damaged, it would become incomplete. Even if the other parts of the seal were still intact, it would be greatly weakened. Shua shua shua! Sword Light flew out, and under the Swift Void Sword, the seal on the pavilion became as fragile as a thin piece of paper.
Chu Mu's body flashed, and he directly passed through the broken part of the seal and entered the pavilion.
The first floor of the pavilion was empty and spotless. Not only did the seal have the power to prevent others from entering, but it also had the ability to prevent dust.
Chu Mu's eyes swept over the first floor, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He slowly scanned the first floor, searching carefully, but he did not find anything special. Involuntarily, his gaze slowly followed the stairs to the second floor. Perhaps there would be some treasures on the second floor.
His body flashed, and Chu Mu arrived at the stairs, and his footsteps quickly reached the second floor.
On the second floor, there was a bed and a table. The bed was empty, and there were two things on the table, which immediately caught Chu Mu's gaze.
One was a fist-sized bead, transparent and bright like a crystal ball, pure and flawless, but Chu Mu could not see what it was. The other thing was a piece of armor.
The crystal ball and the armor were both covered by seals. Chu Mu looked at them for a while, and then gently pointed his finger and sent out two strands of Sword Qi to probe.
Chu Mu was not proficient in seals, and he could only rely on his strength to break them, but he knew one thing. Some seals were closely related to the things inside the seal, and if he was not careful when breaking the seal, it was very likely that after breaking the seal, the things inside the seal would be damaged or even self-destructed.
He could not see what use the crystal ball had, and he did not know what grade the armor was, but Chu Mu felt that these two things should be good.
Again and again, he used his finger to shoot out sword auras to test the strength of the seals on the crystal ball and armor. After a moment, Chu Mu finally knew exactly how strong a force was needed to break open the seals on these two items without damaging them.
The Spatial Speed Sword came out of its scabbard again, and the sword shot out like lightning. In an instant, there was a flash of cold light, and with a pop, the seal on the armor was broken by the tip of the Spatial Speed Sword. Chu Mu controlled the power of this sword very well, and it only broke the seal without damaging the armor at all.
Once the seal was broken, even a small damage would affect the overall strength of the armor. Chu Mu's wrist trembled, and the tip of the sword flashed with a cold light. It was like a magic brush in the hands of a calligraphy master.
After a breath of time, all the seals on the armor were broken, and the armor was not affected in the slightest. The Spatial Speed Sword stabbed out, and the armor gently flew into Chu Mu's hand.
This armor was not made of metal, and it was more like a layer of very tough skin. It was silver-white in color, and there were faint feather-like patterns on it. It was as light as a feather in Yang Kai's hand.
Chu Mu estimated that this armor was at least mid-grade.
He dripped a drop of blood on it, and there was a simple message about this armor.
Feathery Patterned Armor, high-grade armor.
"Good." Chu Mu's face suddenly lit up with joy.
An armor of the same grade was at least five times more valuable than a sword, and it was even possible for it to be ten times more valuable. This Feathery Patterned Armor's value was probably close to that of a top-grade sword.
Moreover, armors were often rarer than swords. On one hand, it required more materials to forge, and on the other hand, it required a higher level of attainment and craftsmanship.
"Not only is it tough enough to reach the level of a high-grade armor, but it can also be injected with Sword Qi to form a layer of protection. With this high-grade armor, not only can it block the sharpness of a high-grade sword, but it can also weaken the attack of a top-grade sword to a certain extent." Chu Mu secretly thought, and quickly put on the Feathery Patterned Armor.
The Feathery Patterned Armor stuck close to his skin, and a burst of coolness spread throughout his body, making Chu Mu involuntarily shiver, as if his whole body had become more energetic.
This Feathery Patterned Armor not only had a protective effect, but also had a refreshing effect. Although the refreshing effect was not obvious, it was better than nothing. Such a high-grade armor was even more valuable than the Profound Star Sword.
Chu Mu attacked another seal with his sword. Not long after, that seal was also broken by Chu Mu, and the sealed crystal ball fell into Chu Mu's hand.
Contrary to the Feathery Patterned Armor, this crystal ball was quite heavy, definitely more than five kilograms, which was very inconsistent with its size.
Chu Mu held the crystal ball in his palm and carefully looked at it. No matter how he looked at it, he could not see what this crystal ball was used for. His mind moved, and he cut his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood on the crystal ball. In an instant, the blood was absorbed by the crystal ball and melted, using a spiritual imprint.
After three breaths, the blood disappeared, and the crystal ball returned to its original flawless and transparent appearance. Chu Mu had a trace of connection with the crystal ball, and he also knew what this crystal ball was.
Sealed Beast Pearl!
This was the name of the crystal ball.
The so-called Sealed Beast Pearl, as the name implied, was a secret treasure that could seal a monster beast inside.
Monster beasts were the natural enemies of human beings, but under certain circumstances, they could be of help to human beings. For example, they could be tamed by human beings, but it usually took a long time to tame them, and it was best to tame them when they were eggs or young.
However, some swordsmen did not have such patience. They needed tools that could be sacrificed for them at any time. The Sealed Beast Pearl was born under the research of some secret treasure masters.
Just like swords, Beast-Sealed Pearls had different grades. The lower the grade, the lower the required materials and the lower the difficulty of making them. The higher the grade, the more difficult the materials and the higher the grade.
In theory, a low-grade Sealed Beast Pearl could seal a low-grade monster beast, a mid-grade one could seal a middle-grade monster beast, and a high-grade one could seal a high-grade one.
The Sealed Beast Pearl in Chu Mu's hand was a mid-grade one, and it was an empty one. In other words, Chu Mu could use this Sealed Beast Pearl to seal a middle-grade monster beast for his own use.
At this moment, a series of undisguised footsteps came from outside, and Chu Mu's heart suddenly jumped. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
