The huge wooden ship was like an ancient beast, galloping on the Tong Ming River, riding the wind and breaking the waves.
The white waves spread to the left and right under the impact of the ship's keel, forming waves that were close to twenty meters tall. The waves only weakened after reaching several hundred meters away, turning into layers of ripples that spread out.
This ship was completely black. It was a hundred and twenty meters long and thirty meters tall. It was like a huge whale, moving at lightning speed as it crossed the Tong Ming River.
On the side of the black ship, there was a picture of a golden flood dragon, proving the origin of this ship.
The Golden Flood Dragon!
The Tong Ming River was very long. It was said that it traversed the entire Ancient Sword Continent. In other words, other than the Eastern Sword Domain, the other three Sword Domains also had Tong Ming River. It was also one of the paths from the three Sword Domains to the Central Sword Domain.
And the final flow of the Tong Ming River was the Outer Sea. That was a place that existed beyond the Ancient Sword Continent.
As for the width, due to the change in terrain, the width of the Tong Ming River was also different. The widest part was even ten times wider than the narrowest part. From the port of the Eastern Sword Domain to the corresponding port of the Central Sword Domain, riding a large ship like the Golden Flood Dragon would still take half a year.
Of course, if one rode on a flying demonic beast, it would be even faster. However, don't forget that there was no place to rest on the Tong Ming River. No demonic beast could fly for months without rest.
Moreover, the Tong Ming River also had a special characteristic. The longer one flew in the air, the greater the consumption, and the easier it would be to feel tired. Furthermore, one might encounter wind, rain, fog, and so on.
In short, unless one was a powerful swordsman who was extremely confident in his own strength, or had some special treasure or powerful flying demonic beast, one would choose to ride a large ship to cross the Tong Ming River.
One person had to pay a thousand mid-grade spirit stones to obtain the right to ride a large ship.
The huge wooden ship that was a hundred and twenty meters long and thirty meters tall could accommodate hundreds to thousands of people at the same time. Basically, everyone would be able to obtain a small but well-decorated room.
In addition, the ship also provided food and drinks, and so on.
At this moment, the sun was shining brightly as the Golden Flood Dragon rode the wind and waves on the Bright River. In the corner of the ship, there was a moon-white figure sitting on a chair. It was a young man wearing a moon-white robe. He looked to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.
This young man's appearance was not very handsome, but he gave people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze, as if he could contain all things in the world. At first glance, it made people feel comfortable, especially his eyes, which were so clear that one could see the bottom of a pool of clear water.
But when you really wanted to see the bottom, you would find that it was just an illusion. His eyes were incomparably deep, like the sky.
Just like that, the young man didn't blink. He stared at the boundless Bright River and the rolling waves. There seemed to be an endless river flowing in his eyes.
Not far away, some people were sizing up this young man in a moon-white robe and pointing at him.
Basically, everyone on the Golden Flood Dragon knew the identity of the white-robed youth.
Zhen Tian Sword Master — — Chu Mu!
The Sword Master King of the Eastern Sword Region, the Sword Master King who defeated the arrogant Raging Waves Sword Master with one sword strike with absolute strength.
The people on the Golden Flood Dragon felt very honored because they were actually on the same ship as Chu Mu. In their hearts, they were very excited. This was a kind of honor.
Perhaps, many years later, when Chu Mu became even more powerful and his name shook the entire Ancient Sword Continent, they could proudly tell their descendants that they were once on the same ship as Chu Mu.
To ordinary people or those swordsmen with average talent, this was an unparalleled honor.
"Say, should we go and get to know Chu Mu?"
"I want to, but I don't dare."
Although they really wanted to get to know Chu Mu and let him know their names, they also knew that they were just ordinary Qi Hai swordsmen. Although Chu Mu was also a Qi Hai swordsmen, and only had the sword qi of Dacheng, he was a Sword Master, and the king of the Sword Masters.
Many people had the thought of getting to know Chu Mu. Unfortunately, no one dared to take action because their hearts were nervous and apprehensive.
Chu Mu didn't know what others were thinking, and he didn't want to know. To him, this was a rare opportunity to be quiet.
He knew that it would take half a year to cross the Tong Ming River, and he could use this half a year to cultivate.
The Sky Barren Sword Qi Art was of a very high grade, and the Sky Barren Sword Qi that was cultivated was incomparably pure. Naturally, it would take more time. Therefore, until now, Chu Mu's sword qi was only at the Qi Hai realm. However, he estimated that within this half a year, he should be able to reach the peak of the Dacheng realm.
At that time, his overall strength should be slightly increased.
However, this wasn't the most important thing. In half a year, Chu Mu was confident that his sword qi and control of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi could be further improved. This was the most important factor for his strength to increase.
During the battle with Wild Wave Sword Master Cheng Tianlan, Chu Mu's sword qi was at 18%, and he didn't hide it.
When he defeated Lie Kong Yang, his Sword Intent was at 12%. After that, his Sword Intent would increase by 1% every three months. During the one month of meditation in the East Sage Hall, his Sword Intent had increased by 2%, reaching the current 18%.
The power of the Beheading Moon with the 18% sword qi was even more terrifying. In addition to Chu Mu's monstrous perception and other factors, the power of the Beheading Moon was much stronger than the Wild Wave Sword with the 18% sword qi.
This meant that in terms of understanding and creation of sword skills, Chu Mu far surpassed Cheng Tianlan.
As for the control of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, when Chu Mu reached the Qi Hai Realm, he had already grasped 30%. Now, his control had reached 80%.
Chu Mu felt that after half a year, his control of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi could reach 90%, but it wouldn't be easy to reach 100%.
Many Sword Masters continuously accumulated in order to reach 100% control of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, and then break through to the Ninth Transformation Realm. However, most of the Sword Masters couldn't wait until that moment because their accumulation reached its limit, and they were forced to break through.
There were too few swordsmen like Lie Kong Yang, who had only broken through to the Ninth Revolution Realm after thirteen years of accumulation and had finally achieved 100% control over the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
According to the records, those who could reach 100% control of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi before breaking through would often reach the Ninth Transformation Realm faster, and their foundation would be more stable. It would also be easier for them to reach the Origin Realm.
"I estimate that in about two years, Lie Kong Yang will be able to reach the Ninth Transformation Realm and become a Origin Realm Sword Master." Chu Mu thought to himself, "The Sky Barren Sword Qi Art is very powerful, but the training speed is too slow. The possibility of me reaching the Origin Realm within three years is very small."
After all, Chu Mu was only confident that he could reach the Peak of the Qi Hai Realm within three years. As for reaching the Peak of the Qi Hai Realm, he only had a 30% chance.
Fortunately, once he reached the Peak of the Qi Hai Realm, he would be able to break through and reach the Ninth Transformation Realm. He wouldn't have to suppress his cultivation like the other Sword Masters and slowly accumulate.
But every monster was special.
Every day, Chu Mu would stay in his room and train the Sky Barren Sword Qi. After training, he would go to the corner of the deck to comprehend the sword intent and control the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi. He would also comprehend some sword skills. At night, he would spend some time reading the records.
On the Golden Dragon, there were some records specially prepared. The contents of the records were about the culture of the Central Sword Region. It was very suitable for people who entered the Central Sword Region for the first time.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Chu Mu's eyes suddenly shot out a sharp Sword Light. The Sword Light disappeared into the void. The Tong Ming River in front of him seemed to have been cut open by an invisible longsword, leaving a mark. It took three breaths for the river to return to its original state.
"Sword intent at 19% … It seems that when I reach the Central Sword Region, my sword intent should be able to reach 20%." Chu Mu thought to himself.
Sword intent below 10% was superficial. 10% to 30% was entry level. 40% was minor success. 70% was Dacheng, and 100% was complete.
The difference between Dacheng and Dacheng was very obvious.
According to legends, a powerful Sword Master who had accumulated a lot of experience would be able to kill a normal Origin Realm Sword Master once he comprehended the sword intent to the minor success level, which was 40%.
One had to know that the Origin Realm and the Qi Hai Realm were separated by the Ninth Transformation Realm. Although some people only needed a year to pass the Ninth Transformation Realm, the difference was not to be underestimated. It was like the difference between the sky and the earth.
Even the weakest Origin Realm swordsman would be able to kill a Sword Hero who had been practicing for seven to eight years with just a normal Sword Origin. Even a Sword Hero who had been practicing for ten years would not be able to survive.
Among all the Sword Masters in the Eastern Sword Region, there were very few who had accumulated for ten years.
As for whether the legend was true or not, no one could be sure. Because until now, there had never been any news of a Sword Master who had comprehended 40% of sword intent.
It was already very rare for a Sword Master to be able to comprehend sword intent. Those who had comprehended 10% were even rarer. 40% was just a fantasy.
The boredom of riding the ship seemed to have disappeared. Chu Mu had become the center of discussion again and again.
In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed. Standing at the bow of the ship, one could vaguely see a black shadow in front of them. Everyone knew that it was the outline of the land, and the central sword region was right in front of them.
Chu Mu opened his palm. There was a Qi swirling around his palm. It was a Qi whirlpool. The white Qi whirlpool made a whooshing sound. Ninety percent of the Qi was milky white.
This meant that Chu Mu's control of the Qi of Heaven and Earth had reached ninety percent. He was only ten percent away from 100% completion.
With a clench of his palm, the Qi whirlpool dissipated and turned into rays of milky white Qi that shot out from his fingers like spiritual snakes. Chu Mu's eyes flashed. It was as if an invisible sword was slashing through the air, seemingly able to cut through all things.
