The Chuji Store was divided into three sections. One was the store, one was the resting area, and the last one was the sword forging area.
At this moment, Master Chu was in the third section. He was holding a black iron hammer that weighed a hundred pounds. He was slowly hammering on the red-hot iron, gradually forming the shape of a sword.
If there was a Grandmaster Swordsmith present and carefully observed, he would discover that every time Grandmaster Chu's hammer landed on the sword embryo, there would be a strange vibration power. The moment the black iron hammer touched the sword embryo, the vibration power would instantly vibrate tens of thousands of times, continuously tempering the sword embryo and making it more condensed bit by bit.
At the same time, when the vibration force was applied to the sword, the strong vibration force would remove the impurities on the sword and improve the quality of the sword.
Sky Shaking Yuan Sword Forging Art!
The essence of this sword forging art was vibration and fusion.
This person was Chu Mu, who had disappeared for a year.
A year ago, Chu Mu had condensed the sword soul prototype with the help of the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon. Then, he broke through the Qi Hai realm and reached the first revolution of the Ninth Revolution realm. At the same time, Chu Mu's Lacerating Mentality and Illusionary Mentality also broke through, becoming the Lacerating Profound and the Illusionary Profound.
Although the Sky Barren Sword Qi was sealed in his body and could not be used at will, Chu Mu's strength had increased a lot. With the thirty percent sword intent from the sword soul prototype and the power of the profound, coupled with his body that was not inferior to an Astral Realm swordsman, it was enough to kill a normal Astral Realm swordsman.
Because he could not use the sword qi, Chu Mu left the cave on foot. He walked as if he was flying. In a few days, he had entered the Tianfeng county. Finally, he bought a small store that could not operate anymore and opened a sword forging shop. He began to study the Sky Shaking Yuan Sword Forging Art.
Of course, Chu Mu didn't give up on his cultivation while studying the Sky Quake Fusion Sword Forging Technique.
Chu Mu began to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering chapter of the Heavenly Desolate Sword Codex. He tempered the first level of the Heavenly Desolate Sword Body, causing the Heavenly Desolate Sword Body to improve bit by bit. Because of his deep accumulation, Chu Mu cultivated the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering very quickly. Not long after, he broke through to the second revolution of the Nine Revolutions Realm, causing the strength of his body to increase again.
Today, after a year, Chu Mu had reached the seventh turn of the Nine Turns Refining Technique, which was the seventh turn of the Nine Turns Realm. The strength of the Tianhuang Sword Body was seven times stronger than before. It was more than seven times stronger than an ordinary Origin Realm swordsman. It was extremely terrifying. Combined with sword intent and Ultimacy, it would not be too difficult for him to kill an ordinary Origin Realm swordsman.
Speaking of Chu Mu's improvement in the past year, other than reaching the seventh turn of the Nine Turns Realm, Chu Mu had also increased his comprehension of the Lacerating Ultimacy and Illusory Ultimacy to twenty percent, which was the entry level. Once he reached forty percent, he would have reached the initial level. At that time, his power would increase greatly.
However, Ultimacy was much more powerful than mental state. It was at least ten times more difficult to comprehend. Even with Chu Mu's increased comprehension due to his breakthrough and the strength of his soul, he had only managed to increase his comprehension of these two ultimacies to twenty percent in the past year.
It should be known that many swordsmen would not be able to reach twenty percent of their ultimacy after breaking through to the Origin Realm. The difference between their comprehension and Chu Mu's was like heaven and earth.
With the improvement of his ultimacy, his sword intent would naturally not fall behind. A year ago, Chu Mu's sword intent was only at thirty percent. Now, a year later, Chu Mu's sword intent had reached forty percent, and the embryonic form of the sword soul in the center of his spiritual world had become more solid.
Because of the embryonic form of the sword soul, Chu Mu's forty percent sword intent could not unleash the power of an ordinary swordsman's fifty percent sword intent. With the addition of the twenty percent of the Lacerating Ultimacy, the power was unparalleled and terrifying.
Many Origin Realm swordsmen's sword intent had been stuck below forty percent, and many Origin Realm swordsmen's sword intent had been stuck below fifty percent.
People like Chu Mu, who had reached this level of comprehension when he was still in the Nine Turns Realm, were too few. Even geniuses like Jue Wudao and Yan Jiuyou might not be able to reach this level.
Of course, even if their comprehension was not as good as Chu Mu's, they still had powerful sects to rely on, providing them with all kinds of resources and conveniences. This allowed them to improve at an extremely fast speed, surpassing ordinary swordsmen by countless times.
The improvement of his body, sword intent, and ultimacy was indeed gratifying. However, there was another improvement that made Chu Mu extremely happy. It was the breakthrough of his vibration force.
The Zhen Tian School's Zhen Tian Energy had five levels: Basic Vibration Force, Stone Shaking Force, Mountain Shaking Force, Earth Shaking Force, and Zhen Tian Energy.
Three months ago, Chu Mu had broken through the Stone Shaking Force with the help of the Sky Shaking Energy Fusion Sword Forging Technique. He had successfully reached the third level, Mountain Shaking Force.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the Stone Shaking Force could shatter rocks. As for Mountain Shaking Force, Chu Mu did not know if it had the power to shatter mountains. Perhaps it did not, but since it was called Mountain Shaking Force, it could at least shatter some small hills.
In theory, the power of Mountain Shaking Force was on the same level as that of ultimacy. However, the way it was displayed was different. There was a huge difference. They belonged to completely different systems. There was no comparison between the two.
Chu Mu had also thought that there were five levels of Zhen Tian Energy. If the level of Mountain Shaking Force was equivalent to ultimacy, then what about Earth Shaking Force? What level of power was it equivalent to?
What was above ultimacy?
Chu Mu did not know. Moreover, after Earth Shaking Force, there was Zhen Tian Energy, which was more advanced and more terrifying.
What made Chu Mu feel regretful was that the Air Penetrating Force was still at the second level, which was the level of Stone Penetrating Force. He had not broken through yet.
The Heaven Shaking Energy was, after all, the essence of the Heaven Shaking Flow. Although it had already been lost, it could still be seen from the words in a few damaged ancient texts. Adding on the fact that his realm was constantly increasing and he had used it many times, Chu Mu had evidence to back it up. Bit by bit, he finally deduced the third level of the Mountain Shaking Energy and broke through.
As for the Air Penetrating Force, it could be said that Chu Mu had deduced it from the beginning. Even the Stone Penetrating Force was a technique that he had deduced with reference to Stone Shaking Force. If he wanted to deduce the next level of Mountain Penetrating Force, it would be even more difficult and would take a longer time.
Even if he was anxious, he couldn't rush it. Chu Mu could only comprehend a little bit every day. His schedule was packed to the brim and he didn't have any time to sleep. His resting room was only used to cultivate the Nine Revolution Body Tempering Technique.
As for the six types of concepts that he had comprehended in the Eastern Saint Sub Palace, they had also improved because he had broken through to the Ninth Transformation Realm. Four of them had improved to ninety percent. As long as Chu Mu was willing to spend some time, he would definitely be able to improve them to perfection and then break through to the profoundness.
However, that would definitely distract Chu Mu and take up a lot of his time. Perhaps in the future, Chu Mu would do that, but right now, he did not have such thoughts.
However, because he had spent a lot of time beside the furnace to forge the sword, Chu Mu had used the fire concept to help the fire, causing the temperature of the fire to be higher and more vigorous. It was also easier to control. Therefore, even if he did not deliberately comprehend it, he had already broken through to the profoundness of fire and reached ten percent.
In addition, there was also the water concept. Because he needed to temper the water when forging the sword, he could use the water concept to control the water and achieve a better tempering effect. Therefore, he did not deliberately comprehend the water concept and reached ten percent of the profoundness of water, which was on par with the profoundness of fire.
Lastly, there was the advancement of the Skyquake Sword Forging Art.
This sword forging art was not complete. It only had the part to forge Royal Grade swords. The rest should be in the Ou Clan of the Central Sword Domain.
And now, after a year, Chu Mu had studied the Skyquake Sword Forging Art to the grandmaster level. Moreover, he had also reached the pinnacle of the grandmaster level. He was only one step away from becoming a grandmaster blacksmith who could forge Royal Grade swords.
However, this step was like a heavenly moat that obstructed him. Even after a month, he was still unable to break through.
The swords created by Chu Mu, who was a sword master, couldn't be compared to the normal swords circulating in the outside world. This was because the Heavenly Shaking Fusion Sword Forging Technique was a very profound sword forging technique, and there was a clear difference between it and normal sword forging techniques.
Moreover, Chu Mu's Zhen Tian Energy had reached the third level, the Mountain Quaking Energy. When used on the Skyquake Sword Forging Art, the improvement was even more obvious. If he put his heart into it, he could forge a top quality sword that was comparable to ordinary Royal Grade swords in terms of sharpness and hardness. It might even frighten people to death.
Even if many grandmaster blacksmiths put their heart into forging top quality swords, they would not be able to compare with Chu Mu's.
Of course, Chu Mu did not take out this kind of top quality sword to sell. It was too shocking and could be considered his proudest work. He would not take it out easily.
The black iron hammer slowly hammered on the sword embryo. The sword embryo had now taken the shape of a sword.
After hammering it a few more times, Chu Mu nodded in satisfaction and began to temper the sword. Sizzling sounds were heard, and countless white gas spiraled up. Under the control of the profoundness of water, it did not dissipate. Instead, it continuously condensed in the surroundings and interacted with the water below to temper the sword.
After a while, the tempering was completed. Chu Mu pulled out the sword from the water.
The sword was one meter long but only as wide as a finger. Compared to ordinary swords, it was obviously much narrower. The tip of the sword was incomparably sharp. It did not move, but it seemed to have the sharpness to pierce through the void. This was obviously a strange sword, and its main power was reflected in the thrust.
Chu Mu waved his hand and stabbed a few more times. The speed of each stab was as fast as lightning and the sound was extremely soft. The Sword Light was shockingly condensed, as if it had pierced a few holes in the void in front of it.
"That's it for today." Chu Mu muttered to himself. He put this top quality sword into the space bracelet and turned around to walk out of the sword-forging room. He entered the lounge and sat cross-legged to comprehend the sword intent.
Outside, the hundred swords were sold out every day. Chu Mu gave all the spirit stones he obtained to the shop assistant to buy the materials he needed to forge the swords. This cycle repeated itself as he continued to forge swords and improve himself. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
