When Chu Mu and the others returned to the Great Kun Sword Mansion, they realized that the entire mansion had changed.
The atmosphere was joyous, as if it was the new year. The joy and excitement of the students and elders could be felt everywhere.
Half a year ago, after Baili Jianghe reported the outcome of the Great Kun Sword Mansion's Battle for Providence, the Mansion Master decided to spread the good news throughout the entire mansion. Regardless of whether it was the King's Mansion, the Inner Mansion, or the Outer Mansion, everyone knew about it.
When they understood the significance of the Battle for Providence to the entire Sword Mansion, the shock in their hearts could not be any greater.
The name Chu Mu once again stirred up a storm in the Sword Mansion. In the end, it was like a brand that was engraved in everyone's heart. They would never forget it until death.
The King of Sword Heroes came from the Great Kun Sword Mansion!
What kind of glory was that?
At the same time, it was an extremely strong motivation for the students of the Great Kun Sword Mansion. After half a year, many students had broken through their bottlenecks and their cultivation had increased.
In half a year, the overall strength of the Great Kun Sword Mansion's students had increased by a small level. This was unimaginable in the past.
It could be said with certainty that the Great Kun Sword Mansion was on par with the Four Major Sword Sects in the past. But now, the Great Kun Sword Mansion had once again surpassed the Four Major Sword Sects. In the future, it would definitely be able to surpass the Four Major Sword Sects like sixty years ago.
The decennial Battle for Providence was extremely important. The Four Major Sword Sects also knew of the outcome. They also knew that Chu Mu was now the new King of Sword Heroes in the Eastern Sword Domain. He was a one-of-a-kind genius.
Each of the Sword Sects had set a rule that they could not provoke Chu Mu. The current Chu Mu could be considered to have matured. Unless they sent a Primary Realm swordsman to kill him, they might not be able to kill Chu Mu even if they sacrificed their future as a Ninth Transformation Realm swordsman.
If they failed to kill Chu Mu, they would have a huge grudge. When Chu Mu truly matured and came for revenge, it would bring great trouble.
As for sending Astral Realm swordsmen to kill Chu Mu, it would be easily discovered. By then, it would incur the wrath of the Great Kun Sword Mansion.
Although the strength of each of the Four Major Sword Sects was about the same as the Great Kun Sword Mansion, the Great Kun Sword Mansion had once been glorious. They had once stood above the Four Major Sword Sects for hundreds and thousands of years. Their foundation was much more robust than the Four Major Sword Sects. They also relied on the Great Kun royal family.
A student like Chu Mu would definitely be valued by the Sword Mansion, even more so than the three Sons of Swords. Once they made a move on Chu Mu, it would only infuriate the Sword Mansion. At that time, the Sword Mansion would mobilize all their forces. Coupled with the Great Kun royal family, even if the Four Great Sword Sects joined forces, it would only end in a lose-lose situation.
As for the Moro Sword Sect, which had assigned Chu Mu as a core disciple, they also revoked the mission and issued a statement, listing Chu Mu as someone not to be provoked. They also made other decisions.
…
"Chu Mu, congratulations. You have become the Sword Mansion's Fourth Son of Swords," Baili Jiang He said to Chu Mu.
"Son of Swords?" Chu Mu was immediately stunned. Wasn't this something that could only be obtained after one's cultivation reached the Astral Realm?
"That's right. Because of you, our Great Kun Sword Mansion was able to reverse the sixty years of being at the bottom and obtain the third place. From now on, our Great Kun Sword Mansion's Luck will rise, and our overall strength will gradually increase. Although we might not be able to improve in the next War of Luck, at the very least, we have hope of maintaining our current ranking. As long as we have more time, our Sword Mansion will regain its former glory." Baili Jiang He said excitedly, "You have contributed greatly to the Sword Mansion. Now, you have defeated Lie Kong Yang and become the new Sword Hero Monarch of the Eastern Sword Domain. Be it in terms of talent or prestige, it is only a matter of time before you become the Son of Swords."
Chu Mu nodded and did not decline. It was as Baili Jiang He said; it was only a matter of time.
"Furthermore, the Mansion Master wants to see you," Baili Jiang He said with a smile. Baili Jiang He smiled and said with a little envy, "The Chief Mansion Master has not appeared for many years. No one has seen him for decades."
The Chief Mansion Master of the Great Kun Sword Mansion was called Li Daoyuan. He was not the Sword Of Gojoseon, but he possessed the strength of a Sword Of Gojoseon. However, when he possessed the strength of a Sword Of Gojoseon, he had already surpassed the limit of obtaining the title of Sword Of Gojoseon. However, this did not affect his strength.
The Chief Mansion Master only met with Chu Mu alone. Aside from the two of them, no one else knew what they were talking about.
Of course, they did not talk about anything important. It was just a chat between a powerful senior and an outstanding junior. They also expressed their gratitude to Chu Mu.
After that, the Chief Mansion Master gave Chu Mu a strand of Sword Essence, which merged into Chu Mu's Spiritual World.
"This strand of Sword Essence is the Meteor Sword Essence that I refined. When you encounter a fatal danger, you can use your mind to activate it. It will not consume any of your energy and can severely injure the Sword Of Gojoseon or block the Sword Of Gojoseon's attacks until its energy is exhausted," the Chief Mansion Master said.
Chu Mu was greatly shocked. To think that a strand of Meteor Sword Essence could possess such might. If used properly, it could even kill a Sword Of Gojoseon, even though the probability of that happening was extremely low.
This gift, an incomparably huge gift, made Chu Mu's heart beat wildly. His blood rushed through his body like a flood.
With this strand of Meteor Sword Essence, it meant that Chu Mu had an additional chance of survival when facing a Sword Of Gojoseon.
However, a Sword Of Gojoseon was not a cabbage that could be found anywhere. Furthermore, which Sword Of Gojoseon was not a high and mighty existence? Why would they lower their status and attack a nobody like Chu Mu?
However, just because the Sword Of Gojoseon did not attack, it did not mean that the powerful swordsmen below the Sword Of Gojoseon would not attack. This strand of Meteor Sword Essence was extremely useful.
Moreover, this strand of Meteor Sword Essence was not a one-time use item. It could be used multiple times depending on the amount of energy consumed. Even if Chu Mu's cultivation had broken through to the Origin Realm, this strand of Meteor Sword Essence would still be of great help.
With this strand of Sword Essence, Chu Mu could do many things that he could not do before.
"With your talent, you must go to the Central Main Sword Region. That is the most suitable place for you." The Chief said, "I am not giving you this strand of Meteor Sword Essence as a reward. I want to ask you for a favor. This matter may be very safe, but it may also be very dangerous. You can choose not to promise me."
"Chief, please tell me." Chu Mu said. He was a little speechless. The Chief had sent the Meteor Sword Essence over without asking for his permission. Now, he was saying such things. What a hypocrite.
"Actually, I am not from the Great Kun Dynasty. I am from the Li Clan in the Pingyang County of the Central Main Sword Region." The Chief said slowly. His eyes were filled with reminiscence, "The Li Clan is the largest clan in the Pingyang County of the Xicheng Prefecture. It has a history of more than a thousand years and has a deep foundation. More than a hundred years ago, when I became the Clan Leader, I wanted to lead the clan to become an aristocratic family of the Ancient Sword Dynasty. At that time, I was high-spirited and worked hard. In just ten years, the Li Clan grew rapidly under my leadership. However, because of this, I offended many people. However, as the Li Clan grew stronger, these enemies were no longer in my eyes. "
Chu Mu listened quietly.
"Once, in an auction, I took a fancy to a treasure that was useful to the clan. I bid for it without caring about anything else. Because of this, I offended an inner sect disciple of the Divine Firmament Sword Sect. That inner sect disciple attacked me after the auction. Although he was strong, he was not my match. In the end, he died under my sword. However, that inner sect disciple turned out to be the grandson of an inner sect elder of the Divine Firmament Sword Sect. In anger, the inner sect elder of the Divine Firmament Sword Sect personally attacked. I was not his match and escaped under the cover of my personal guards. I was saved by the previous Chief of the Great Kun Sword Sect. The previous Chief negotiated with the Divine Firmament Sword Sect through the Eastern Sage Palace. In the end, I survived a sword strike from that elder and swore to never enter the Central Main Sword Region. " As Li Daoyuan spoke, there was no deep hatred in his tone. Instead, there was a kind of great enlightenment.
"What happened back then, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, is already in the past. I also have no intention of taking revenge. It can be said that the disaster of the Li clan was caused by me." Li Daoyuan said sadly, "I feel that I have let down the Li clan. Therefore, this time, I beg of you. After entering the Central Main Sword Region, if you have the chance, please make a trip to Ping Yang County and see if the Li clan still exists. If the Li clan is in danger, according to your own ability, help as much as you can. If it is indeed something you cannot do, then do your best to preserve the bloodline of the Li clan. "
Chu Mu could hear the guilt in Li Daoyuan's tone.
"Chief, don't worry. I will go," Chu Mu said.
"In that case, I will have to trouble you." Li Daoyuan said and waved his hand. "Go. Later, the Sword Manor will give you the reward for you. In addition, the Moro Sword Sect will also compensate you."
After Chu Mu left, Baili Jiang summoned Chu Mu and gave him two high-grade spatial bracelets.
One of them was a reward for Chu Mu from the Sword Manor. The reason was that Chu Mu had made great contributions in the battle for Luck. Even the nine Sword Heroes received rewards, although they could not compare to Chu Mu's.
The other high-grade spatial bracelet was a gift from the Moro Sword Sect. It was called compensation, and they hoped that Chu Mu would not hold a grudge over the past conflicts.
After Chu Mu returned to the Sword Tower and checked the items in the two high-grade spatial bracelets, he immediately beamed with joy.
Rich, very rich, exceeding Chu Mu's expectations. This was especially so for the Great Kun Sword Manor's reward. It was several times more generous than the compensation given by the Moro Sword Sect.
After a careful inspection, Chu Mu calmed down. There were naturally many spiritual stones and elixirs. There were also some rare metal ores, spiritual herbs, and so on. These were all things that swordsmen needed.
Unfortunately, for Chu Mu, who cultivated the Heavenly Barren Sword Qi Technique, they were not that useful.
In fact, for Chu Mu, the biggest gain after returning to the Sword Manor this time was the Meteor Sword Energy from Li Daoyuan. As for the matter that Li Daoyuan asked him to do, it should not be too difficult.
"I will keep a part of it for myself. I can bring the rest back to the Chu Clan and strengthen it." Chu Mu thought to himself. After making up his mind, he went to the Inner Mansion to gather Chu Tian and the others. Then, he went to the Outer Mansion to gather the disciples of the Green Edge Sword Sect and so on. After that, he left the Sword Manor and returned to the Chu Clan. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
