"Xiao Qianfeng … Chu Mu … Damn it … Damn it all …" The sect master of the Heaven Burying Sword Sect, Heaven Burying Sword Venerable, was furious. The veins on his forehead bulged, making him look like a terrifying devil.
First, his son was killed by Xiao Qianfeng. Then, a large number of his disciples were killed. His only disciple was assassinated, and the murderer was still not found. Now, the Eighth Elder was killed by Xiao Qianfeng.
A dignified Primary Realm swordsman was killed by a sword hero.
The Heaven Burying Sword Sect was just a new sect. They only had ten Primary Realm swordsmen, and each of them was very precious. With the death of the Eighth Elder, the Heaven Burying Sword Sect only had nine Primary Realm swordsmen left.
The Eighth Elder's death caused the Heaven Burying Sword Sect's strength to drop significantly. More importantly, the sect's reputation plummeted.
"Issue the Heaven Burying Order to hunt down Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng." Venerable Zang Tian's anger reached its peak, but he calmed down. However, his expression was even more frightening.
The so-called Heaven Burying Order was actually a kind of wanted order. Almost every sect had something similar. Once such an order was issued, it meant that a certain target would be hunted down endlessly.
"The person who provides the exact location of the two will receive ten thousand upper grade spiritual stones. The person who brings their heads will receive fifty thousand upper grade spiritual stones. The person who captures them alive will receive a hundred thousand upper grade spiritual stones." Venerable Zang Tian continued, "If it's our sect's disciples, they will also receive an Earth Realm ancient sword art or even a Heaven Realm ancient sword art."
The elder beside him was shocked. The reward offered by Venerable Zang Tian was extremely shocking. Even Primary Realm swordsmen would be tempted.
"Alright, I'm sure that once the news spreads out, there will definitely be many people looking for Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng. Perhaps even the Primary Realm swordsmen will make a move. When that time comes, they will have nowhere to go." said the Ninth Elder. The Eighth Elder's strength was similar to his, so the two of them had the best relationship.
As expected, after the bounty of the Heaven Burying Sword Sect was spread, the swordsmen of Tongtian Town went crazy. The more the news spread, the more people knew about it, and the more people were tempted.
Not to mention 50,000 or 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, just providing accurate information could earn him 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. That was a huge gain.
For many of the Qi Hai Realm swordsmen, they did not know how long it would take them to earn ten thousand upper grade spirit stones. Even among the Sword Masters on the Heavenly Sword Master Ranking, only the top ten swordsmen would be able to afford it.
Back then, Raging Wave Sword Hero Cheng Tianlan felt the pinch even when he took out ten thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones. Although he could take out a hundred thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones, it was as if he was bleeding. Although he did not take it out in the end, Chu Mu did not get it either.
Primary Realm swordsmen used upper-grade spirit stones for their cultivation.
Therefore, a large number of Qi Hai Realm swordsmen were mobilized. Some of the Qi Transformation Realm swordsmen were also mobilized. They wanted to try their luck. If they were lucky, they might find out where Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng were hiding. Then they would be rich.
Even a small number of Primary Realm swordsmen were mobilized. Among them, there were some special swordsmen. They were Ninth Transformation Realm swordsmen who could not break through to the Primary Realm on their own for some reason.
… …
Zhao Ming was a special swordsman. He was in the seventh transformation of the Ninth Transformation Realm, but he could not continue to break through.
Originally, he had the opportunity to break through to the Origin Realm. However, a few years ago, his family had provoked a powerful enemy that no one could defeat. For the sake of his family's survival, all he had to do was to come out of seclusion and kill those powerful enemies.
In the end, his family was saved. However, Zhao Ming had to pay a heavy price for forcefully using his sword aura. From then on, his cultivation was fixed and could not improve. He had no fate with the Primary Realm.
The Ninth Transformation Realm was a very special realm for swordsmen. The existence of this realm was to strengthen the body. This kind of strengthening was not a simple strengthening. Otherwise, some swordsmen who had been focusing on body tempering since they were young would have skipped this realm.
The Ninth Transformation Realm strengthened the body of a swordsman by using his own sword aura to temper the body.
Tempering every part of the body, even the smallest part, was equivalent to completing a transformation. At this point, the strength of the body would be doubled. The amount of sword aura would not increase, but the purity would be doubled.
After a round of refinement, one must have enough time to rest and recover from all kinds of exhaustion before starting the next round of refinement. This recovery time was related to one's accumulation. The more accumulation one had, the shorter the refinement time and the shorter the recovery time. This would make it easier for one to reach the Origin Realm from the Ninth Transformation Realm.
Every tempering not only increased the strength of the body and the purity of the sword aura, but also increased the compatibility between the sword aura and the body.
The most important reason for increasing the strength of the body was to accommodate the sword energy that was many times stronger than the sword aura. Of course, some swordsmen's body could accommodate the sword energy when they were in the Qi Hai Realm, but they could not convert the sword aura. The reason was that the compatibility between the body and the sword aura was far from enough.
Every time a Ninth Transformation Realm swordsman completed a tempering, their strength would increase significantly. However, they could not use the sword aura, because the sword aura had to be kept in the body and could not leak out. Once it leaked out, the path to the Ninth Transformation Realm would be cut off and they could only stop there, unable to move forward.
Although under normal circumstances, a Ninth Transformation Realm swordsman's body was stronger than a Qi Hai Realm swordsman, if they did not use the sword aura, they would not be a match for a Qi Hai Realm swordsman. Once their life was in danger, other than being killed, they would be forced to use the sword aura and destroy their future.
Therefore, once a swordsman broke through to the Ninth Transformation Realm, they would find a secret place to cultivate. The fewer people who knew, the better.
"If I can find Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng and sell the information to the Buried Heaven Sword Sect, I will be able to get ten thousand upper rank soul stones. Adding the sixty thousand I saved up before, I will have seventy thousand upper rank soul stones, which is just enough for me to buy a Seven Transformation Barrier Breaking Pill." Zhao Ming thought to himself as he searched the forest.
Humans were an intelligent race, so they naturally had to overcome difficulties. Faced with the possible drawbacks of the Ninth Transformation Realm, someone had researched the Barrier Breaking Pill, which corresponded to the nine stages of the Ninth Transformation Realm. It was divided into First Transformation to Ninth Transformation Barrier Breaking Pills.
If you stopped at the First Transformation, you could use the First Transformation Barrier Breaking Pill to break through to the Second Transformation. From then on, if you wanted to continue to improve, you would have to rely on the Second Transformation, Third Transformation, Fourth Transformation and so on.
Zhao Ming, who stopped at the Seventh Transformation, had to use the Seventh Transformation Barrier Breaking Pill. After that, he would have to use the Eighth Transformation Barrier Breaking Pill and the Ninth Transformation Barrier Breaking Pill to break through to the Origin Realm.
However, the price of the Barrier Breaking Pill was not cheap. The First Transformation Barrier Breaking Pill cost ten thousand upper rank soul stones, the Second Transformation cost twenty thousand, and so on. The Seventh Transformation cost seventy thousand, and the Ninth Transformation cost ninety thousand.
The reason why Zhao Ming came to this forest was because one of the swordsmen who saw Chu Mu leave was his junior.
Other than Zhao Ming, there was also a group of swordsmen who came here to search for Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng.
… …
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
In a cave in the forest, the Luminous Pearl was emitting a bright light. Two figures were sitting not far away from each other with their eyes closed, as if they were cultivating.
These two people were Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng.
A month ago, he flew here and occupied a demonic beast cave. After cleaning it up a little, it became very clean. After giving Xiao Qianfeng a pill, he stayed here and occasionally went out to check on the situation.
After a month of cultivation, Xiao Qianfeng had almost recovered. However, because of the consumption of ten years of lifespan, he looked a little older. He looked a little like a thirty year old man, and his face was a little pale.
According to the Shura Sword Of Gojoseon, as long as he used the pill to replenish his lifespan, he would be able to recover without any side effects.
One had to admit that the Death Forbidden Art was very powerful. It gave Xiao Qianfeng the ability to kill normal Origin Realm swordsmen. Of course, the price was also very high. After all, after using it, he would fall into a coma and most likely die. Even if he did not die, ten years of lifespan was a huge price to pay for a Qi Hai swordsman. Only an ancient Sword Of Gojoseon like the Shura Sword Of Gojoseon was not worthy of his attention.
After a month, other than cultivating the Desolate Sky Sword Qi normally, Chu Mu mainly focused on comprehending the Burying Heaven Secret Sword Art. With his comprehension ability, he only used ten days to comprehend it. After that, he started to cultivate it. Now, he had already cultivated the Burying Heaven Secret Sword Art to the minor completion level.
If Zang Tian knew about this, he would be extremely jealous. Thinking back, he had spent a few years to reach the entry level, and even longer to reach the minor completion level.
At this moment, Chu Mu heard the stone that sealed the cave being touched. He immediately woke up and turned around to look. His eyes narrowed slightly.
In this month, there were some swordsmen that came here, but they were all killed by Chu Mu. Because they were all Qi Hai swordsmen, they were not a match for Chu Mu.
Although the forest was very big, and the cave was quite remote, Chu Mu could not guarantee that no one would find this place.
"Two people …" After moving the stone away, a person walked in and took in everything in the cave. He was stunned at first, but then he revealed an expression of ecstasy, "It's the two of you! That's great! My Seven Turn Barrier Breaking Pellet and now my Eight Turn Barrier Breaking Pellet."
This person was the Ninth Turn Seventh Turn Realm swordsman, Zhao Ming. This place was very remote, and he found this place purely by luck. He did not expect to find Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Zhao Ming felt that the heavens were giving him a chance to break through to the Ninth Turn. After that, it would be more likely for him to break through to the Origin Realm.
Hearing what the other person said, Chu Mu was stunned at first, but then he reacted and his eyes lit up.
"A Ninth Turn Realm swordsman … should be in the Seventh Turn …" Chu Mu felt that this was a novelty. Although a Ninth Turn Realm swordsman was not as strong as an Origin Realm swordsman, he had seen many Origin Realm swordsmen. A Ninth Turn Realm swordsman usually did not travel outside, so this was the first time he had seen one. (To be continued.)
