Thirteen corpses were lying on the ground, their blood staining the ground red. The smell of blood spread out and was blown away by the wind.
Chu Mu stopped looking at the thirteen corpses and stretched out his right hand. He opened his palm and bent his fingers as if he was grabbing onto something. A slight sound of wind was heard and wisps of Ling Qi quickly gathered from the surroundings like snakes gathering in his palm.
In the blink of an eye, a Ling Qi whirlpool appeared in his palm. It kept spinning and was grey in color. It was a smaller version of the Ling Qi whirlpool from before.
Qi Sea in the Palm!
This was the symbol of a real Qi Hai Sword Artist.
Just like the one eyed dragon from before, although he was a Qi Hai Sword Artist, he had just broken through to the Qi Hai Sword Artist and did not have the ability to command the Ling Qi of heaven and earth!
Therefore, the One Eyed Dragon could not be considered a true Qi Hai Realm Swordsman. Only after a period of seclusion could he be considered a true Qi Hai Realm Swordsman. Unfortunately, he was too impulsive and died under Chu Mu's sword.
The Qi Sea in the Palm did not have any power. It was only a symbol of a real Qi Hai Sword Artist. At the same time, it showed the level of control a Qi Hai Sword Artist had over the Ling Qi of heaven and earth.
Chu Mu's eyes were focused on the Spirit Aura Whirlpool in his right palm. He was completely focused on the Spirit Aura Whirlpool. His pupils reflected the Spirit Aura Whirlpool. Strands of Spirit Aura mixed with Demonic Aura continuously flew in from all directions. It was like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, causing the small Spirit Aura Whirlpool to expand little by little.
"I only need Ling Qi." Chu Mu said to himself. The grey Ling Qi whirlpool suddenly released wisps of grey Qi. It was the violent Yao Qi.
A Qi Hai Sword Artist could command the Ling Qi of heaven and earth, but could not command the Yao Qi. The demonic aura was violent and destructive. Although it was mixed with spiritual energy in the air, it was clearly separated.
In a place like the Disorderly Goblin Mountains, the amount of Yao Qi was almost equal to the amount of Ling Qi. Thus, when a Qi Hai swordsman manipulated the Ling Qi of heaven and earth, it was inevitable that the Yao Qi would converge. This Yao Qi was not under their control.
Therefore, swordsmen had to exclude Daemon Qi. Otherwise, their control of Spirit Qi would become difficult due to the existence of Daemon Qi. They would not be able to do it perfectly, and if they were not careful, it would cause a violent conflict between Spirit Qi and Daemon Qi, causing harm to themselves.
Think about it. Originally, he wanted to use the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to assist his attack or defense. If he ended up hurting himself because of the conflict between the Demonic Qi, that would be really unlucky.
Even though Chu Mu was extraordinarily talented, he could not go against this rule. Therefore, he expelled the demonic aura from his Sea of Qi in his palm. Instantly, the greyish-white color turned white.
If it was a swordsman who had just broken through to the Qi Hai realm, they would not be able to do this. They would need to try for days or even months before they could do it. However, Chu Mu's soul was extremely strong, and his control was unparalleled. He could easily do it by concentrating his mind.
The white Spirit Qi whirlpool covered the entire palm. It spun at a speed visible to the naked eye, making a whistling sound as if a strong wind was blowing.
In the center of the white Spirit Qi whirlpool, the color was the darkest. It was a milky white color. Looking closely, the milky white color took up 30% of the entire white Spirit Qi whirlpool.
"30% … …" Chu Mu frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with this ratio. Soon after, his expression returned to normal. 30% was actually not bad.
When a swordsman with average talent broke through to the Qi Hai realm, they would need to spend three months to half a year in seclusion to be able to control the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth and condense the Sea of Qi in their palm.
At this point, a swordsman at the Qi Hai realm would have the ability to control the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth. But there was a limit to how much Spirit Qi could be controlled.
In other words, with one's body as the center, ten percent of all the Ling Qi within a one kilometer radius would be able to increase a Qi Hai level Sword Artist's attack or defense by ten percent.
After breaking through to the Low Qi Hai realm, the radius of the Spirit Qi increased from 1000 meters to 2000 meters. That 10% could also increase a swordsman's attack or defense by 10%.
Similarly, after breaking through to the Qi Hai realm, Dacheng could control the Spirit Qi within a radius of 3000 meters. After breaking through to the Peak of the Qi Hai realm, he could control the Spirit Qi within a radius of 4000 meters. Some talented swordsmen could even control the Spirit Qi within a radius of 5000 meters when they reached the peak of the Peak of the Qi Hai realm.
Do not underestimate this 10%. The difference between a Peak of the Qi Hai realm and a Beginning of the Qi Hai realm was like heaven and earth.
Above that would be 20%. A swordsman who could control 20% of the Spirit Qi after forming the Qi Sea in their palms would be extremely talented.
Above that, there were even more talented swordsmen who could control 30% of the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth. There were very few swordsmen who could control 30% of the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Chu Mu was able to control 30% of the spirit aura within a thousand meter radius for his own use. This meant that his attack or defense could be increased by 30% from the original foundation.
30%, this was a terrifying ratio. It was enough to defeat any swordsman of the same level.
Also, it was not impossible for a Qi Hai swordsman to control the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth. Under some special circumstances, it was possible to increase the Spirit Qi by 10% or even 20%. By then, the swordsman would be even more powerful. But these circumstances were too rare. Most of the Qi Hai swordsmen could only control 10% of the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth when they reached the peak of the Qi Hai realm.
Before, when Chu Mu killed the thirteen core disciples of the Mo Luo Sword Sect, he did not use any of the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth. He only used his own Sky Yuan Sword Qi, the more powerful Lacerating Mentality, and one percent of his Perfect Sword Form.
During the process of breaking through to the Qi Hai realm, Chu Mu entered the Ethereal state. Dacheng's Perfect Sword Form also broke through to the Perfect Sword Form. This did not take much time. After that, Chu Mu focused on understanding the Lacerating Mentality. He increased the Lacerating Mentality from 50% to 60% before he finished the Ethereal state.
After the Perfect Sword Form, not only was it twice as powerful as Dacheng's Perfect Sword Form, it was also much more flexible. Once it was used, it would be able to shake the heavens and earth. In terms of energy consumption, it was actually less than Dacheng's Perfect Sword Form.
It was like some of the unnecessary edges had been smoothed out. The sharpness of the sword had also changed from being exposed to the outside to being restrained. The power had become more condensed, and it could even flow around the sword like Sword Qi, reducing the energy consumption.
Chu Mu finally understood why the Sword Hero rank swordsmen could use 1% of their sword force without restraint. It was because their sword force had reached perfection. No wonder one of the requirements to become a Sword Hero was to reach perfection in sword force.
Sixty percent of the Lacerating Mentality was still at the Minor Completion level, but its power was equivalent to ninety percent of Dacheng's Perfect Sword Form. With every ten percent increase in the mentality, the power would increase by a lot.
Sixty percent Ripping Concept and one percent Perfect Sword Force. Adding on the fact that the quality and quantity of his Sword Aura was much higher than that of a normal Low Qi Hai Realm Sword Artist, Chu Mu's every sword attack was extremely terrifying. It was comparable to a Perfect Qi Hai Realm Sword Artist. It was not something that a Low Qi Hai Realm Sword Artist or High Qi Hai Realm Sword Artist could defend against.
Among them, the Flying Swan Illusory Steps also played a huge role. With the combination of the two, Ye Chen had killed all thirteen core disciples of the Mo Luo Sword Sect with his Speed Sky Sword.
Ye Chen took out all the Space Armlets from the thirteen corpses with ease. There were ten Low Rank Space Armlets in total, and each of them contained soul stones, pellets, spirit medicines, ores, metals, and so on. Chu Mu even found three Earth Rank Ancient Sword Arts among them.
However, these three Earth Rank Ancient Sword Arts were much weaker than the Broken Star Sword Art. Just the Broken Star Sword Art alone would have taken Chu Mu a lot of time to train, so Chu Mu just put away the three Earth Rank Ancient Sword Arts.
After organizing a little bit, Ye Chen found thirty-five Low Rank Black Iron Soul Stone Cards, twelve Low Rank Bronze Soul Stone Cards, twenty-three thousand five hundred Low Rank Soul Stones, and one thousand one hundred and twenty Mid Rank Soul Stones. In addition, there were also ten Extreme Rank Swords and three Upper Rank Swords. Their value was also extraordinary, and Chu Mu had gained a lot from them.
Chu Mu did not care about the thirteen corpses. He knew that after he left this place, these thirteen corpses would become some demonic beast's food.
His body flashed as he used the Flying Swan Illusory Steps. Chu Mu's body seemed to have stopped at the same place, but in reality, he had already appeared dozens of meters away. He left with a light and fast speed.
…
Putting the Speed Sky Sword back into its scabbard, the Mid Rank High Rank Demonic Beast in front of him fell down unwillingly. Its Demonic Core had also become Chu Mu's spoils of war.
This demonic beast was killed by Chu Mu in front of its cave. After killing it, Chu Mu threw the corpse far away. He then moved a huge rock that weighed a few thousand pounds and placed it at the entrance of the cave. He then walked into the cave and blocked the entrance with the huge rock. The light inside the cave immediately dimmed.
Luckily, this demonic beast liked to be clean, and the inside of the cave was rather dry, which did not make Chu Mu feel disgusted.
A strand of Sword Qi came out of his finger and swept across the cave, clearing out an empty space that was as clean as a mirror. Chu Mu sat down with his legs crossed. He first closed his eyes and adjusted his Sky Origin Sword Qi for a while. Then he opened his eyes, which were shining brightly.
With a move of his hand, a jade box appeared in his palm. He opened the jade box, and a yellow colored fruit was quietly lying inside. The surface of the fruit was filled with cracks, as if it was a round rock that had not been broken by a hammer.
The Sky Desolate Fruit!
Originally, Chu Mu's plan was to eat the Sky Desolate Fruit when he was at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm. On one hand, it would increase his cultivation talent to the sixth rank, and on the other hand, it would allow his Sword Qi to break through to the Qi Hai Realm.
But later on, the plan changed. He needed to train the Nine Transformations of Sky Yuan to the ninth transformation first. Once he reached the ninth transformation, he would naturally have the opportunity to break through, and would not need the Sky Desolate Fruit. But now that he had broken through to the Qi Hai Realm, his cultivation talent had an obvious effect on his cultivation speed. Adding on the pressure from the Sky Slaughterer Sword, Chu Mu decided to eat the Sky Desolate Fruit. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
