The seemingly endless and unending sword intent kept rushing over. The source was the Heavenly Sword Gorge that had been split open by the sword.
Chu Mu had been sitting there for three days and three nights. This had attracted many people's attention. Even Xiao Qianfeng was shocked.
Because two days ago, Xiao Qianfeng had retreated 5km away from the Never-Ending Sword Intent because he was unable to withstand the impact of the Never-Ending Sword Intent. He rested for an entire half a day before he once again walked into the range of the Never-Ending Sword Intent and resisted it once more.
Even though ten thousand years had passed, even though the Never-Ending Sword Intent had weakened, from the point where even the Sword Of Gojoseon couldn't withstand it to the point where any swordsman who had comprehended sword intent could withstand it. After all, the Never-Ending Sword Intent was left behind by a Sword Saint. It was still very powerful.
In the face of this endless and continuous sword intent, it was as if he was standing in the sea and being hit by endless waves.
Using one's own sword intent consumed mental strength. Although the mental strength consumed each time wasn't much and could be recovered with some time, the problem was that when facing the impact of the Never-Ending Sword Intent, one couldn't find the slightest time to recover mental strength.
As time passed, one's mental strength would continue to be consumed. Once it was depleted, not only would one be unable to use sword intent to resist the impact of the Never-Ending Sword Intent, one would even fall unconscious. Once one fainted, one's mental world would be damaged or even shattered by the impact of the Never-Ending Sword Intent. This would affect one's soul and ultimately cause one's soul to disperse.
Therefore, every swordsman who came here to resist the Never-Ending Sword Intent to increase their own sword intent would pay close attention to the consumption of their mental strength. Once it reached eighty percent, they would immediately retreat and leave the range of ten miles away. They would either wait for their mental strength to recover or use pills or special treasures that could speed up the recovery of their mental strength.
After their mental strength recovered to its peak, they would enter the range of the Never-Ending Sword Intent again.
If they wanted to wait for their mental strength to recover naturally, the speed would be very slow. A normal swordsman would need at least a day and a night. Xiao Qianfeng had taken pills similar to the Spirit Calming Pill to recover to its peak in half a day.
However, it had been three days and three nights since Chu Mu had entered the range of the Never-Ending Sword Intent. Yet, he was still resisting the Never-Ending Sword Intent. It was impossible for a Sword Grand Master swordsman to do so. Only those in the Astral Realm could do so.
If it weren't for the fact that there wasn't a hint of pain on his face, others would have thought that he was unable to move due to overexertion of his mental strength.
"Junior Brother Chu is really … mysterious and unfathomable …" Xiao Qianfeng sighed lightly and entered the range of the Never-Ending Sword Intent once again. This time, he took a step forward. Although it wasn't much, it showed that he had made slight progress in his Sword Intent.
"Where did this young man come from?" Many of the Primary Realm swordsmen who had noticed Chu Mu began to guess.
They could see that Chu Mu's cultivation level was only at the peak of the Qi Hai Realm, and he had not reached the peak of the Qi Hai Realm. Being able to comprehend Sword Intent was already surprising, but what was even more surprising was that he was eight miles away from the Heavenly Sword Gorge. This meant that his comprehension of Sword Intent had exceeded 20%.
Originally, they thought that this young man was a genius in their hearts. But now, this young man had been under the attack of the Never-Ending Sword Intent for three days and three nights without any signs of discomfort. Was he a monster?
Chu Mu didn't know what others thought of him. Although he had some understanding of the Heavenly Sword Gorge, he didn't care about some common sense. After all, as long as one wasn't an idiot, they would know that retreating when one's mental strength was about to run out was an instinct of life.
The reason why Chu Mu was able to hold on for so long was because of his powerful soul.
His soul was ten times stronger than other swordsmen of the same level. Although he hadn't fully unleashed his potential yet, in terms of strength and quality, he could at least unleash three times the power.
This three times meant that Chu Mu had more and purer mental strength, as well as a faster recovery speed. It was an obvious advantage.
This was also the reason why Chu Mu was able to hold on for three days and three nights and was labeled as a monster.
However, after holding on for so long, Chu Mu felt that he only had about seventy percent of his mental strength left. Although he could at least hold on for half a day or more, in order to ensure his own safety, it was necessary to conserve thirty percent of his mental strength.
He stood up and took a step back. Immediately, he felt that the Never-Ending Sword Intent had weakened quite a bit.
As soon as Chu Mu moved, many swordsmen's gazes were attracted to him. After all, not all swordsmen wanted to push themselves to the limit.
After retreating ten miles away, Chu Mu didn't take out any elixirs to consume. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and meditated, recovering his mental strength according to the meditation technique of a swordsman.
After about four hours, Chu Mu's mental strength had completely recovered.
Recovering mental strength was good. For example, filling a pool with water. The larger the pool, the higher the upper limit of mental strength, and the longer it would take to fill it. However, if the small water pipe was replaced with a large water pipe, the result would be different. For example, one would have a stronger soul.
Since his mental strength had completely recovered, Chu Mu took out some rations to fill his stomach. Then, he walked back into the Never-Ending Sword Intent area and walked back to his original position.
Chu Mu's appearance shocked many swordsmen. A few of them were almost injured by the Never-Ending Sword Intent because they relaxed their minds. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They didn't dare to be distracted and focused on resisting.
Freak … What a freak … Many swordsmen roared in their hearts. At the same time, they were envious and jealous.
One had to know that the longer one resisted the Never-Ending Sword Intent, the better the effect.
For example, Chu Mu, resisting the Never-Ending Sword Intent for three days and three nights at a time, the effect was at least five times better than others who resisted for one day and night and then rested.
Time passed bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
In a month, Xiao Qianfeng rested a total of twenty times. The total amount of time he rested added up to about ten days. However, Chu Mu was completely different. In a month, the total amount of time he rested didn't even reach two days. His harvest was three times more than Xiao Qianfeng's.
"Sword Intent at 24%. This Heavenly Sword Gorge is really an excellent place to comprehend sword intent." Chu Mu sighed as he rested again.
Originally, he would need at least three months of comprehension to increase his sword intent by one percent. Especially after his sword intent reached 20%, it would take even longer to increase it by one percent.
He didn't expect that his sword intent would reach 24% from the original 22% in just a month in the Heavenly Sword Gorge. Although it had been a while since it reached 22% and wasn't far from 23%, this speed was still many times faster than before.
"I'll stay here and increase my sword intent to the limit. I'll also cultivate the Heavenly Desolation Sword Qi in my spare time." Chu Mu said to himself.
Now, when he recovered his mental strength, he would take out the Heavenly Desolation Stone to absorb it. This method of recovering and cultivating at the same time was relatively common here. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Chu Mu's situation.
The further one's sword intent went, the harder it was to increase it. Especially for Qi Hai Realm swordsmen, it was already very impressive to be able to comprehend sword intent. Increasing sword intent to 20% was extremely rare. Increasing sword intent beyond 20% was even rarer and more difficult.
Otherwise, with the talent of Jue Wudao and Yan Jiuyou, coupled with the large amount of resources from the Sword Sect, they wouldn't only be able to comprehend sword intent to 25%.
One had to know that there were Sword Saints in the Ten Major Sword Sects. Although the Ten Major Sword Sects didn't necessarily have a place like the Heavenly Sword Gorge, they did have similar treasures.
Cultivating every day allowed Chu Mu's sword qi to increase bit by bit. As long as he reached the peak, his sword intent would also reach the limit of what he could comprehend. Then, he would be able to break through to the Ninth Transformation Realm.
The limit of a Qi Hai Realm swordsman's sword intent was closely related to the swordsman's spirit and will. To put it bluntly, it was directly related to the soul.
With Chu Mu's soul, the limit of his sword intent would definitely be higher than other swordsmen.
Time passed, month after month. Some swordsmen reached their limit and left. There were also new swordsmen who arrived to comprehend sword intent.
Although the limit of the Heavenly Sword Gorge was for people to comprehend sword intent to 100%, not everyone could do so. There was a limit. Once one reached the limit, they would not be able to comprehend sword intent anymore. They would have to rely on themselves to slowly comprehend sword intent and slowly improve.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. His sword qi was still at the Complete Qi Hai Realm, but it had improved a lot compared to half a year ago. According to Chu Mu's estimation, his sword qi would be able to reach the peak of the Complete Qi Hai Realm within the next half year.
"Sword intent … I have finally reached 27%." Chu Mu's face revealed a sincere smile.
27% sword intent was much stronger than the previous 22%. If he used the Beheading Moon and the Burying Heaven Secret Sword, he would definitely be able to kill a normal Origin Realm swordsman.
"I feel that my sword intent has not reached its limit yet. I can continue to improve it. 28%, 29%, or even 30% …"
After improving his sword intent to this point, every improvement would be harder. Chu Mu did not dare to hope for too much.
In this half a year, Xiao Qianfeng's sword intent had also improved a lot. Although the improvement could not be compared to Chu Mu's, it was still more than 20%. It had reached 21%. Compared to half a year ago, it had increased by 20%.
As for sword qi, Xiao Qianfeng had already reached the peak of the Complete Qi Hai Realm. Now, all he needed to do was to increase his sword intent to the limit and control the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi to 100%. Then, he would be able to break through to the Ninth Transformation Realm.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed.
A boom reverberated in Chu Mu's mental world like a thunderclap.
"Thirty percent … … my Sword Intent has reached thirty percent … …" Chu Mu's body trembled as ecstasy surged in his heart. Thirty percent Sword Intent, he felt a bit of disbelief … … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
