"Cultivate in seclusion for two years, soar to the sky, and become a Sword Saint in the future. There's a slight chance …" Watching Chu Mu's departing figure, Elder Tuo sighed again. His voice was filled with envy, loneliness, and anticipation. The hall fell into a dead silence again.
… …
In the sky outside King City, a figure was flying away with a gust of wind. It was the Wind-Winged Dragon.
Compared to two years ago, the Wind-Winged Dragon's body was much larger. Due to Chu Mu's large amount of beast cores, the Wind-Winged Dragon had already reached the peak of the Intermediate Super Level.
Unfortunately, the Wind-Winged Dragon's growth limit was the Intermediate Super Level. It could only continue to grow and break through the Intermediate Super Level to become an Advanced Super Level beast.
If he had killed the Thunderwing Golden Roc and obtained its beast core for the Wind-Winged Dragon to consume, it would have indeed mutated the Wind-Winged Dragon's bloodline. It could have reached the Advanced Super Level at the very least.
Fortunately, Chu Mu was only using the Wind-Winged Dragon as a means of transportation. He was too lazy to look for any treasures that could mutate a beast's bloodline.
After reaching the peak of the Intermediate Super Level, not only was the Wind-Winged Dragon bigger, it was also more ferocious. Its flying speed had also increased significantly.
Chu Mu sat cross-legged on the Wind-Winged Dragon's back like a statue, not moving at all. He was actually comprehending what he had learned in the Eastern Sage Sub Palace.
Even the number one Sword Hero, Mu Longcheng, could only comprehend in the Eastern Sage Sub Palace for a year. However, Chu Mu had stayed there for two years. This was all thanks to his powerful soul energy and deep understanding of the sword.
The longer he stayed, the more he learned.
There were tens of thousands of books in the Book Collection Palace. Chu Mu used two years to finish reading nearly half of the books and memorize them in his mind. The time was too short. With only four hours of reading every day, Chu Mu could only choose the important books and choose the ones that were helpful to him to memorize.
In this way, Chu Mu's knowledge had increased by more than ten times. Even some seventy or eighty year old swordsmen might not know as much as Chu Mu.
In these two years, Chu Mu had removed the pure Sky Yuan Sword Qi from his body and trained the Sky Barren Sword Qi that was ten times purer. His Sword Qi had returned to the peak of the Low Qi Hai Realm, and was only one step away from reaching the Dacheng Realm.
This time, the [Heavenly Wasteland Sword Qi Technique] was different from the past. To a certain extent, it was equivalent to scrapping the foundation of the sword qi and starting from scratch. In addition, the purity of the [Heavenly Wasteland Sword Qi] was extremely high. As a result, Chu Mu spent a full two years to complete it.
Chu Mu's Sword Qi was also at the Small Completion level. The amount of Tianhuang Sword Qi was not much greater than the Tianyuan Sword Qi, but its purity was more than ten times greater. Even many Peak Qi Hai Warriors' Sword Qi was not as pure as Chu Mu's, unless they trained in the Top Rank Earth Realm Sword Qi.
Furthermore, the [Heavenly Wasteland Sword Qi] had its own special characteristics, which made its power even more powerful.
Even if he had not improved in any other areas, the current Chu Mu could easily defeat himself two years ago, because the [Heavenly Wasteland Sword Qi] was extremely powerful.
In these two years, Chu Mu had seen many different sword arts through the sword scars in the Sword Comprehension Palace. Different sword arts contained different mysteries, which had greatly broadened Chu Mu's horizons and allowed him to comprehend many different mentalities.
Now, besides the Tearing mentality and the Cloud mentality, Chu Mu had also comprehended the Fire mentality, Water mentality, Earth mentality, Wood mentality, Thunder mentality, and Ice mentality. He had also comprehended all six mentalities to forty percent completion. As for the Wind mentality and Gold mentality, he had slightly comprehended them all into the Tearing mentality. The Tearing mentality had already reached ninety percent completion, and its power was equivalent to the Gold mentality at one hundred and twenty percent completion.
The Cloud mentality was harder to comprehend than the Tearing mentality, so it had also reached ninety percent completion.
The enhancement of the Tearing mentality had an extremely obvious effect on Chu Mu's strength. The Cloud mentality had reached ninety percent completion, and Chu Mu's Flying Swan Illusory Steps had also reached the second level. The combination of the two was even more mysterious and exquisite.
As for the other six mentalities, Chu Mu did not know what they were used for. If he wanted to comprehend them to the Dacheng Realm, he would have to spend a lot of time on Chu Mu. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem worth it.
But no matter what, the six more mentalities that had reached the Small Completion would not cause any hindrance to him. Maybe they would be useful in the future.
The Stone Shaking Power had also broken through from the peak of the Dacheng Realm, reaching perfection. As for the other technique, the Penetrating Power, Chu Mu had also spent a lot of time comprehending and cultivating it.
The Stone Shaking Power was the second level of the Zhen Tian Realm. The Zhen Tian School had already had a complete cultivation method. Even if the cultivation method after the Stone Shaking Power was lost, Chu Mu could still find some clues from the incomplete ancient books left behind by the Zhen Tian School. Then, according to his many years of cultivation and the growth of his knowledge, he could deduce it one by one.
The Penetrating Power was different. At that time, the book given by the Inner Palace only had the most basic cultivation method of the Penetrating Power. It was very simple. Even if an ordinary swordsman obtained it, it would be very difficult to cultivate the Penetrating Power.
Even if it was a swordsman with good talent, it would be impossible for him to get started without spending three to five years.
Firstly, there was no complete cultivation method for the Penetrating Power, and there was no more theoretical research. Secondly, the Penetrating Power was more strange than the Zhen Tian Realm, and it required a lot of skill.
Chu Mu had just gotten started not long after he obtained the cultivation method for the Penetrating Power. But after that, his progress was very slow, and he did not have much time to properly comprehend and deduce it.
This time, the two years of cultivation in the Eastern Sage Sub-Palace gave Chu Mu the perfect time to borrow the Zhen Tian Realm system and look at the many sword scars in the Sword Comprehension Palace. Among those sword scars, there were very few traces of the technique of exerting force.
Originally, Chu Mu's comprehension ability was monstrous. In the Sword Comprehension Palace, his comprehension ability had increased several times. Chu Mu had finally cultivated the basic Penetrating Power to perfection, and created the second level: the Stone Shaking Power.
Although the name was simple, it directly described its effect. It could penetrate through rocks. This kind of penetration was not condensed into a line of penetration, but directly penetrating through the rock without causing any damage to the rock.
Chu Mu had also named this technique of exerting force as the Penetrating Power. Coincidentally, the Penetrating Power was also classified by Chu Mu as the fifth level, just like the Zhen Tian Realm.
However, the Penetrating Power was even more strange and unpredictable than the Zhen Tian Realm. It was more than twice as difficult as the Zhen Tian Realm. Chu Mu estimated that even if he cultivated the Zhen Tian Realm to the fifth level, it would be hard to say if he could cultivate the Penetrating Power to the fourth level.
Most importantly, Chu Mu's sword aura had improved from the peak of perfection, reaching the pinnacle of sword aura, and was even more powerful.
Right now, Chu Mu could kill his old self with a single sword attack.
Two years of time had not only brought Chu Mu an increase in strength, but also broadened his horizons and accumulated knowledge. Most importantly, Chu Mu had completed the first closed-door training in his life, which would greatly improve his training in the future.
The Wind-Winged Dragon was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had left the King City and was heading towards the Black Dragon Mountain.
… …
When the Inner Palace students saw Chu Mu return, they were shocked at first, but then they spread the news.
When Duanmu Xing Kong heard that Chu Mu had not only reached the peak of the Low Qi Hai Realm, he had also successfully challenged the Sword Hero and obtained the title of Zhen Tian Sword Hero, he was extremely shocked.
Two years of time, in just two years, Chu Mu had not only reached the peak of the Low Qi Hai Realm, his strength was also extremely powerful, and he had obtained the title of Zhen Tian Sword Hero. Immediately, the entire Sword Palace was shaken.
If before, Chu Mu only had some influence in the Inner Palace, then now, Chu Mu's name was known throughout the Sword Palace. Even the three Sons of Swords knew his name.
Since ancient times, although there were not many students who had obtained the title of Sword Hero, there would always be a few. Batch after batch, there would always be a certain number.
The most shocking thing was that when Chu Mu became a Sword Hero, he was only twenty years old!
Becoming a Sword Hero at the age of twenty, in the whole of the Great Kun Dynasty's history, he was the only one.
The only one in a thousand years, what kind of glory and shock was this?
At this moment, while the entire Sword Palace was shaken, many people shook their heads and sighed. Especially the elders of the Sword Palace, they were both extremely happy and ashamed. They secretly thought that they had wasted all their years of training. Compared to Chu Mu, they were just trash.
"Becoming a Sword Hero at the age of twenty …" The voice was filled with an overbearing aura.
"Brother Huang Tian, this Chu Mu's talent is really amazing." This light laughter was unique, and it was unforgettable for anyone who heard it.
"In this world, there are many talented people, but there are very few who can truly achieve the title of Sword Hero. Chu Mu was able to obtain the title of Sword Hero at the age of twenty, it is not just a matter of talent." This voice was like the sound of a spring, and the sound of a zither lingered in the air for three days.
"So what if he has extraordinary talent? Even if he has a fortuitous encounter, it is impossible for him to catch up with us." This voice had an overbearing aura that made people feel hopeless.
"Haha, I do hope that he can catch up with us." The unique light laughter sounded.
Then, another piece of news came from the Sword Palace. The Son of the Three Swords, Little Heavenly King, Huangfu Huangtian, had announced that within ten years, as long as Chu Mu was still on the Ancient Sword Continent, he would personally deal with Chu Mu.
In other words, there were only ten years left for Chu Mu.
"Ten years?" Chu Mu was instantly stunned. He did not expect that he would be targeted by one of the Three Swords, Little Heavenly King, Huangfu Huangtian, when he returned to the Sword Palace.
Huangfu Huangtian had long possessed the cultivation of the Origin Realm, but he did not know what level he had reached. More importantly, he was also a Sword Venerable.
The Little Heavenly King was the most overbearing person. He always acted according to his heart and did not care about what others said. Therefore, when his announcement was made, the entire Sword Palace was in an uproar.
Of course, while there were countless people who admired Chu Mu, there were also many who were gnashing their teeth. Some were even envious and jealous.
In short, Chu Mu's return stirred up a super storm in the Sword Palace. As for himself, he was now meeting with his brother, Chu Tian, and the others and chatting … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
