It was already late at night. The sky was filled with stars, but the moon was nowhere to be seen.
Over six thousand meters above sea level on the Chaoyao Mountain, gusts of mountain wind blew in from afar. They whistled and rustled as they blew past the leaves, adding a unique charm to the dark night.
Because of the high altitude and the night, the wind was very cold. It was enough to freeze an ordinary person to death. Even Chu Mu had no choice but to use his protective sword qi to isolate himself from the mountain wind.
Popping sounds could be heard as the bonfire in front of Chu Mu burned fiercely. Sparks flew from the burning wood, and wisps of green smoke rose in spirals. When the mountain wind blew, they immediately dissipated without a trace.
The flames were high and low, roasting the demonic beast meat. Golden oil dripped down and sizzled as it was roasted by the flames. Bursts of rich meat fragrance were carried away by the wind.
In the distance, the occasional roar of a demonic beast could be heard, but it quickly quieted down.
Chu Mu didn't pay attention to the demonic beast meat being roasted. Instead, he focused on the dark red dagger in his hand.
Compared to the day, the dark red dagger no longer emitted any light. It was still the same dark red color as before. It didn't seem to have changed at all. However, Chu Mu felt that the aura of the dagger had changed. It was different from before.
However, Chu Mu couldn't tell what exactly was different. He vaguely felt that if the dagger before was an inanimate object, then the dagger now had a trace of spirituality. It was as if it was alive.
Sometimes, Chu Mu even felt that there was a life living inside the dagger. However, this kind of thought was too inconceivable.
This was the first change to the dagger.
The second change was that the two characters on the dagger had become very clear. Unfortunately, these were very ancient characters. Chu Mu didn't recognize them. He didn't know what they meant.
Although he didn't recognize them, Chu Mu already knew what they meant.
Asura!
The reason he knew this was because the red light from the dark red sword had entered Chu Mu's mind and evolved into two pieces of information. This allowed Chu Mu to know what this dark red sword was.
The first part of the message was that this thing came from the Central Main Sword Domain. It was something similar to a sword token, a sword token from a sect. This sect was called the Shura Sword Sect. As for what kind of sect it was, the small sword's message did not clearly state. It only stated that if one brought this small sword to the Shura Sword Sect, they would be able to enter the Shura Sword Sect and become a sword sect disciple.
This wasn't very attractive to Chu Mu. He just felt very surprised.
The content of the second message was even shorter, but it set off a storm in Chu Mu's heart.
The Asura Sword Sect was a Sword Dao Sect. If one entered the Asura Sword Sect as a disciple, they would have the opportunity to obtain the Asura Sword Dao Inheritance.
Sword Dao Inheritance!
So far, Chu Mu had only met less than ten swordsmen who had inherited the Way of the Sword. Perhaps there were more, but he didn't know. However, only two of them had actually fought against each other.
Xiao Qianfeng had inherited the Boundless Sword Dao!
Ying Jianyi had inherited the Seven Slaughter Sword Dao!
Within the Great Kun Sword Mansion, Chu Mu was sure that there were others who had also obtained the Way of the Sword Dao Inheritance. It was just that he didn't know who they were. There were simply too few swordsmen who could obtain the Way of the Sword Dao Inheritance. There might not even be one in a hundred thousand swordsmen.
Similarly, once a swordsman obtained the Way of the Sword Dao Inheritance, their future would be limitless. Their strength would also be much stronger than other swordsmen of the same level.
Chu Mu, who had fought against Xiao Qianfeng and Ying Jianyi, also yearned for the so-called Way of the Sword Dao Inheritance. However, according to the records of the Sword Dao Inheritors in the Eastern Sword Domain, most of them had gone out to train and obtained some sort of fortuitous encounter.
Now, Chu Mu knew that there was actually a Sword Dao Sect in the Central Main Sword Domain that could give its disciples the opportunity to obtain the Way of the Sword Dao Inheritance. Chu Mu was sure that within the Shura Sword Sect, there were definitely more than one or two swordsmen who had obtained the Way of the Sword Dao Inheritance.
This small sword was a great opportunity, but at the same time, it was also a hot potato. Once others knew that he had such an item, even Origin Realm swordsmen would attack him.
To countless swordsmen, the Central Main Sword Domain was the birthplace of swordsmen. It was the holy land of swordsmen. A Sword Dao Sect that was called a Way of the Sword Dao Sect was definitely very powerful. It might even surpass existences like the Great Kun Sword Palace.
If he could join it and strive to obtain the Way of the Shura Sword Dao Inheritance, wouldn't he soar to the heavens?
One had to know that many Origin Realm swordsmen opened their eyes wide, hoping that a pie would fall from the sky and obtain the Way of the Sword Dao Inheritance.
Chu Mu felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Right now, he would leave the Great Kun Dynasty, leave the Eastern Sword Domain, and head to the Central Main Sword Domain. He would join the Shura Sword Sect and strive to obtain the Way of the Shura Sword Dao Inheritance.
The excitement in his heart was quickly suppressed by Chu Mu. In a short period of time, he regained his composure. Even Origin Realm swordsmen would be amazed by his mental fortitude.
The journey to the Central Main Sword Domain was more than ten thousand miles. There were countless dangers along the way that could easily take one's life. With his mere Qi Transformation Realm cultivation, wanting to head to the Central Main Sword Domain was no different from a fantasy.
Even Qi Hai swordsmen wouldn't dare to do so. Perhaps, only those with the strength of a Sword Grand Master would be able to give it a try.
Sword Grand Master!
Chu Mu's eyes suddenly emitted an intense light. There seemed to be golden flames burning in his pupils. He was filled with an indomitable will to fight. His aura was extremely impassioned. The aura he emitted actually caused the flames in front of him to burn even more fiercely.
With a flip of his hand, the dark red small sword disappeared. Chu Mu began to enjoy the delicious barbecued meat.
… …
In the Chaoyao Mountain, a moon-white figure flew past. That figure was as light as a feather. It was light and elegant. Its speed was also very fast. It flashed past like a bolt of lightning, leaving behind a faint white trace in the air. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.
What was shocking was that this moon-white figure was constantly flying forward. However, it seemed to stop at the same spot for a moment. It gave people the illusion that the moon-white figure wasn't moving forward at all. Instead, it seemed to be walking on the same spot. It was very strange.
In reality, the figure was moving forward at a speed as fast as the wind. Everything was just a visual illusion.
With a flash, the moon-white figure floated down like a feather. It was also like an arrow that shot out. It suddenly stopped and landed on a protruding rock a few meters high. Only its long black hair danced in the wind. Its moon-white robe also fluttered in the wind.
This person was Chu Mu. His eyes became deep and distant as he looked into the distance. The endless mountain forest stretched for tens of thousands of miles until it seemed to connect with the sky. The endless white clouds fluttered and changed unpredictably. Everything was reflected in his eyes.
"This is a footwork that combines the essence of the Flashing Wind Movement Technique, the Wandering in the Wind Movement Technique, and the Phantom Steps. I'll name it the Flying Swan Illusory Steps." Chu Mu said neither slowly nor quickly. It was as if he was talking to himself. His voice was so soft that only he could hear it.
Back then, when he encountered the Blood Sword Fen Lie in the cave, after Chu Mu dodged Fen Lie's first attack, in a moment of desperation, his potential suddenly erupted. In a situation where even Chu Mu himself could not grasp it, he used the Flashing Wind Movement Technique, the Wandering in the Wind Movement Technique, and the Phantom Steps at the same time.
It was indeed possible to use some different movement techniques at the same time, but the difficulty was very high. One had to completely grasp the essence of two different movement techniques in order to have a chance. There were even some different movement techniques that were basically opposites. If one wanted to use them at the same time, even if one had grasped the essence, it would not be possible. If one tried to forcefully fuse them, they might even hurt themselves.
Normally, using two movement techniques and one movement technique at the same time was something that one did not even dare to think about. Only when one's life was in danger and there was only one thought left in one's heart, would one's potential suddenly erupt. Only then would one be able to accomplish something that could be said to be impossible.
With the first time, with Chu Mu's memory, he would naturally remember the feeling at that time. Then, relying on his monstrous perception, he would slowly trace it back to its roots and thoroughly understand its mysteries. From there, he would truly reach the point where the essence of two movement techniques and one movement technique could be fused together.
This was a difficult process. Without a doubt, Chu Mu had crossed it and done it.
The Wandering in the Wind Movement Technique was originally created by Chu Mu, so it was very easy to grasp its essence. The Flashing Wind Movement Technique was originally a high level movement technique, but after being thoroughly understood by Chu Mu, it evolved into a super level movement technique. The Phantom Steps was originally a high level movement technique, but after evolving into a super level movement technique, its essence was grasped by Chu Mu.
All of these things had established the possibility of today.
The Flying Swan Illusory Steps was a brand new movement technique created by Chu Mu after fusing the essence of two movement techniques and one movement technique together with the concept of clouds. Not only did it have the lightness and elegance of the Wandering in the Wind Movement Technique, but it also had the speed of the Flashing Wind Movement Technique, the illusion of the Phantom Steps, and the unpredictability of the concept of clouds.
With all of these characteristics combined, it created the miraculous mysteries of the Flying Swan Illusory Steps.
Although this was the first time Chu Mu had used the Flying Swan Illusory Steps, this movement technique was based on the Wandering in the Wind Movement Technique, the Flashing Wind Movement Technique, the Phantom Steps, and the concept of clouds. Chu Mu easily grasped it and used it skillfully, as if he had practiced it for many years.
"This Flying Swan Illusory Steps can currently be divided into three levels." Chu Mu carried the Void Sword on his back and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back. He muttered to himself, "The first level is to display the essence of two movement techniques and one movement technique from before. They complement each other and give people the illusion that they are not moving. At this level, I can be considered to have just started and have a basic grasp of it. I still need more time to completely master it. The second level should be to give people the illusion that they are advancing and retreating. It shouldn't be too difficult to master this level. As for the third level, that is where the real difficulty lies. Currently, I am only stuck at the setting … "
As soon as Chu Mu's voice left his mouth, it was instantly blown away by the mountain wind and disappeared without a trace in the forest. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
