"What a good sword! Even the two masters in the Bao Sword Tower would not be able to forge such a high quality sword." In a room, the young man in white pulled out the sword. His eyes sparkled as if they were flowing. He lightly tapped the body of the sword, and the melodious sound continued to be heard, as if it came from the heavens.
Just by looking at its appearance, this high quality sword was indeed extraordinary.
The eyes of the two middle-aged Sword Guards and the maid beside him lit up. Although they did not know much about swords, ever since they stepped onto the path of a Sword Artist, they had seen a lot of swords, so they had a good eye for swords.
"You said that this Master Chu looks like he is in his twenties?" The young man in white turned around and asked one of the middle-aged Sword Guards.
"Young master, that is indeed the case. That Master Chu does not look more than thirty years old, and the feeling he gives me is very strange. It is as if he does not have any cultivation." The middle-aged Sword Guard thought for a while and replied, "To be able to forge a high quality sword, he must at least be in the Qi Hai realm. But I cannot feel any sword Qi from him. There are only three possibilities. The first is that his cultivation is higher than mine. The second is that he has some kind of treasure that can cover his body's Qi. The last is that he is in the Ninth Transformation Realm."
"Go and invite this Master Chu here. Tell him that I am the one who invited him to become a Sword Forger in the Bao Sword Tower. His position is equivalent to a Master." The young man in white put the sword back into the scabbard and placed it on the table beside him. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, "If he is not willing, you know how to deal with him."
"Yes, young master." The middle-aged Sword Guard was happy.
Originally, he was a little frustrated at the Chu Restaurant. But now, with the young master's order, he could do whatever he wanted. If that young Master Chu dared to resist, he could teach him a lesson.
But what he did not expect was that he could not find Chu Mu at all.
… …
Once again, he finished comprehending the sword intent. Although there was no improvement, each comprehension was a kind of accumulation, from quantitative change to qualitative change.
As for cultivating the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Technique, it didn't need to be done every day. This was because one tempering session usually took a day. After the tempering session was completed, one could only wait for the next tempering session. According to the situation of a year, it would usually take more than a month.
This time interval was extremely short for other Ninth Revolution realm swordsmen because most Ninth Revolution realm swordsmen would have to wait at least a year for the second tempering after the first tempering.
Although each tempering would increase the strength of his body and the purity of his Sword Qi, it was also a burden on his body. This kind of burden could not be removed by human means. It could only be allowed to recover on its own.
Some people recovered slowly, while others recovered quickly. The speed of recovery was not only related to one's physique, but also the degree of accumulation.
"In another half a month, I will be able to undergo the eighth tempering session and enter the Eighth Revolution, the Origin Realm. It won't be long." Chu Mu sighed softly and said.
In his spiritual world, the Meteor Sword Essence from the Great Kun Sword Mansion's Mansion Master still existed. It had never been used. The aura it emitted was almost enough to cause Chu Mu's Sword Soul Prototype to collapse.
After comprehending the sword intent, Chu Mu began to study the Sky-shaking Yuan Fusion Sword Forging Technique.
"The Sky-shaking Yuan Fusion Sword Forging Technique … Strictly speaking, it can be divided into two parts, Sky-shaking and Yuan Fusion. The part I obtained is incomplete. Only the Sky-shaking part was not mentioned in Yuan Fusion."
"According to what I have comprehended in the past year, the so-called Yuan Fusion is most likely to inject one's Sword Qi into the sword embryo when hammering it. It strengthens the sword embryo from the inside out, making it more adaptable and conductive to Sword Qi." Chu Mu frowned slightly, "Unfortunately, I have already completely grasped the Sky-shaking part, but I'm still missing the Yuan Fusion part …"
Chu Mu simply sorted out the incomplete Sky-shaking Yuan Fusion Sword Forging Technique from the beginning. Then, he combined it with his sword forging experience in the past year and carefully pondered over it.
The essence of the Sky-shaking part of the Sky-shaking Yuan Fusion Sword Forging Technique was vibration. Chu Mu's vibration power had already reached the third level, the Mountain Quaking Energy. Compared to the real Ou Clan, he was much better in this aspect, at least several times better.
This was also why Chu Mu only grasped the Sky-shaking part. Under the situation where he lacked the essence of Yuan Fusion, he was still able to forge a top-notch supreme grade sword.
However, it was still not enough. For Chu Mu, even forging the most ordinary Royal Grade sword would be very difficult, let alone forging a top-notch Royal Grade sword like the Sky Desolate Sword.
Chu Mu understood that he had to solve the Yuan Fusion part. He had a premonition that once he solved this part, he might be able to break through the Master Swordsmith level and become a Grandmaster Swordsmith. Then, he would be able to forge a genuine Royal Grade sword.
"However, even if I obtain the Yuan Fusion method now, I won't be able to successfully cultivate it because I can't use sword qi right now."
As he thought about it, Chu Mu's body suddenly shook. His eyes emitted a terrifying light.
"I've been thinking too much." He clapped his hands and suddenly stood up. He pushed open the door of the lounge and strode towards the Sword Forging Room.
"I have two special powers, the Zhen Tian Energy and the Void Penetrating Energy. The Zhen Tian Energy is vibration, and the Void Penetrating Energy is penetration. Since I don't have the Yuan Fusion method, I might as well change my way of thinking and replace it with the Void Penetrating Energy." Chu Mu said excitedly as he pushed open the door of the Sword Forging Room. A scorching aura assaulted his face.
This was a completely new attempt. If he succeeded, it would mean that Chu Mu had walked his own path in the Ou Family's Skyquake Yuan Fusion Sword Forging Technique.
Using the profound meaning of fire, the temperature of the flames in the furnace continued to rise to a terrifying degree. The temperature in the Sword Forging Room was already high enough to roast an ordinary person to the point of suffocation.
Chu Mu had already taken off his robe and put it away. His upper body was bare, and he was only wearing a pair of shorts. In a short while, the soldering iron had turned red from the heat.
This kind of metal was specially used to forge top-grade swords.
After all, the higher the quality of the sword, the higher the hardness and toughness. Naturally, the requirements for the materials were also higher. Fortunately, there were many top-grade swords in a place like the Central Main Sword Domain. Therefore, the materials used to forge top-grade swords were also very common. There were often shops that specialized in refining metals that sold them.
There were even metals used to forge Royal Grade swords. Of course, the price was much higher.
Chu Mu pulled out the red-hot soldering iron from the raging flames and grabbed the 50 kilogram black iron hammer. He began to try to use the vibration and penetrating energy on the soldering iron at the same time.
This was undoubtedly a very difficult technique.
The vibration and penetrating energy were two completely different kinds of energy. Chu Mu had never used these two kinds of energy at the same time. Instead, he separated them and created the two ultimate sword skills, Iron Slash and Point Kill.
Now, because he wanted to make a breakthrough in the Sword Forging Technique, he suddenly had the idea to use these two different kinds of energy at the same time.
The first attempt ended in failure.
Chu Mu was not discouraged. He knew that this was not an easy task, especially when the two kinds of energy, Mountain Quaking Energy and Rock Penetrating Energy, were not equal. It was even more difficult.
However, since he had found the direction, he would persevere until he succeeded.
On the first day, the soldering iron was hammered out of shape by Chu Mu. He did not succeed in using the Mountain Quaking Energy and Rock Penetrating Energy at the same time. On the second day, he told the shop assistant that once the swords in the shop were sold out, he would temporarily close the shop and would inform him when he would reopen. Chu Mu continued to forge and tried to use the two kinds of energy at the same time.
He still failed.
The third day … the fourth day … the fifth day …
Chu Mu failed day after day, but he persevered day after day. His spirit was unprecedentedly focused, as if he had gone mad. He did not have any time to rest at all. He stayed in the sword-forging room 24 hours a day.
On the sixth day, Chu Mu's eyes were bloodshot, but he was still tirelessly waving the black iron hammer.
When he hammered down, Chu Mu was suddenly stunned. This was because he felt that the iron felt under the soldering iron was bombarded by a force, and it instantly shook.
This feeling was much stronger and more condensed than the Rock Penetrating Energy.
"The Rock Penetrating Energy has also broken through …" Chu Mu did not react for a moment. He did not expect that after working hard for six days, the Zhen Tian Energy and Space Penetrating Energy were not used together. Instead, the Rock Penetrating Energy had broken through. This should be equivalent to the level of Mountain Quaking Energy.
"Let's name it Mountain Quaking Energy," Chu Mu said.
Temporarily giving up on trying to use the two forces at the same time, Chu Mu tested the power of the Mountain Quaking Energy.
The Rock Penetrating Energy could only penetrate things that were not very dense, whether it was solid, liquid, or gas. In terms of destructive power, it was far inferior to the Rock Quaking Energy. It was only superior in terms of strangeness and difficulty to guard against.
Naturally, the power of the Mountain Quaking Energy could not be compared to the Mountain Quaking Energy. After all, the role of the Mountain Quaking Energy was purely to destroy, while the role of the Mountain Quaking Energy was to penetrate.
After trying, Chu Mu found that the Mountain Quaking Energy could penetrate steel, and not ordinary steel. It could easily penetrate the metal used to forge top-grade swords. This was something that the previous Rock Penetrating Energy could not do.
As for the destructive power of the Mountain Quaking Energy, it was probably equivalent to the Rock Quaking Energy.
Next, Chu Mu still tried to combine the Mountain Quaking Energy and the Mountain Quaking Energy together, but he could not do it. He also understood the reason.
It was because these two forces were very unique. The use of each force required his full concentration, and the burden on his body was also very obvious. With his current physical strength and mental strength, it was not enough to support the fusion of these two forces. The burden was too great. If he forced the fusion, his body would collapse, and even his mental world would be severely damaged.
Since he understood this, Chu Mu no longer forced the fusion of the two forces. Instead, he took a step back and used the Mountain Quaking Energy to hit the soldering iron first. The moment the Mountain Quaking Energy took effect, he used the Mountain Quaking Energy to penetrate the soldering iron, working from the inside and the outside.
In just one day, Chu Mu succeeded. The moment he succeeded, he suddenly had a feeling that perhaps he could start forging Royal Grade swords. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
