In a flash, three months had passed.
"Young master, I've found it. I've finally found it." The Sword Guard of Dacheng hurriedly ran up to the fourth floor of the House of Treasured Sword.
"Speak." The eyes of Situ Feng, who was holding a book, flashed. He immediately put the book to the side and said, "Don't worry.
"This Master Chu's real name is Chu Mu." The middle-aged Sword Guard handed a piece of paper to Situ Feng. Situ Feng took it and quickly read through it.
The Situ Family had five thousand years of history. Among all the families in the Central Main Sword Domain, this was one of the most profound families.
However, compared to the entire Central Main Sword Domain, the Situ Family was actually not that powerful. Especially when compared to some of the stronger sects. Apart from the top ten sword sects, there were many other sects that were stronger than the Situ Family.
Due to the limitations of their strength, their ability to gather information was naturally limited as well. Furthermore, Situ Feng was not the head of the Situ Family, so he could only use a portion of his authority. It took him a full three months to find Master Chu's information.
If Chu Mu was here to see the contents of the paper, he would definitely be shocked.
"Zhen Tian Sword Hero Chu Mu from the Eastern Sword Domain. He reached the thirty-second floor of the Heavenly Sword Tower and is ranked first on the Heavenly Sword Hero Ranking. No one can shake his position." Situ Feng repeated the important information on the paper. His eyes were reserved and his face was cold. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Are you sure the information on this paper is accurate?" After a while, Situ Feng looked at the middle-aged Sword Guard and asked coldly.
"I've checked it repeatedly, and I'm very sure." The middle-aged Sword Guard spoke with absolute certainty. Shortly after, he revealed a doubtful expression. "This Chu Mu reached the thirty-second level of the Heavenly Sword Tower more than a year ago and was ranked first on the Heavenly Sword Ranking. No one could shake his position. At that time, he should have accumulated to the limit. Now, he should be at the Ninth Transformation Realm and should be in seclusion to pass the Ninth Transformation Realm."
This was not only the middle-aged Sword Guard's doubt, but also Situ Feng's doubt.
Based on their many years of experience, once one broke through to the Ninth Transformation Realm, one would have to find a secluded place to go into seclusion. Only after passing the Ninth Transformation Realm and reaching the Origin Realm would one appear again.
However, Chu Mu made them feel extremely puzzled.
Could it be that the current Chu Mu had yet to break through to the Ninth Transformation Realm?
To be honest, this possibility was extremely small. After all, Chu Mu had already reached the 32nd floor of the Heavenly Sword Tower more than a year ago. Besides him, the second-ranked Zong Qingtian, the third-ranked Jue Wudao, and the fourth-ranked Yan Jiuyou had also reached the 32nd floor. However, they had only just entered the 32nd floor and were defeated in less than 60 breaths of time.
That was why Chu Mu had been able to dominate the Heavenly Sword Hero Roll for over a year, and no one had been able to shake his position.
If that kind of result was not his best, then wouldn't it be too shocking?
Suddenly, Situ Feng's eyes widened, and a terrifying light shot out. He thought of a possibility, and this possibility made his heart beat wildly.
"Where is Chu Mu now?" Situ Feng stood up and hurriedly asked.
"He left the Tianfeng Province a month ago and entered the Windy Fire Desert. I don't know where he went," the middle-aged sword guard hurriedly replied.
"The Windy Fire Desert …" Situ Feng also felt a headache. The Windy Fire Desert was too large, dozens of times larger than the Tianfeng Province. It was also very dangerous, and it was extremely difficult to find a person in it.
"Young Master, according to my calculations, the Ancient Sword Tomb in the Windy Fire Desert should be opening soon. At that time, many people will definitely rush over. I think that Chu Mu will definitely go as well." The middle-aged sword guard thought hard for a while, then clapped his hands and said.
"The Ancient Sword Tomb opening …" Situ Feng walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky outside. He muttered to himself, "If this Chu Mu is currently at the Ninth Transformation Realm, then he must have some backup plan that allowed him to appear outside. Perhaps there is some secret behind it. If I can obtain this secret, perhaps it will increase my chances of competing for the position of Patriarch. "
… …
The Windy Fire Desert was a famous forbidden area in the Central Main Sword Region.
Within the Windy Fire Desert, the temperature was extremely high. From time to time, there would be strong winds and sand blowing. Even Qi Transformation Realm swordsmen would feel unbearably hot. Even Qi Sea Realm swordsmen would feel thirsty. The moisture in their bodies would quickly evaporate, and their sword Qi would be affected as well, becoming harder to control than usual.
Throughout the year, the astral winds and earth fire would wreak havoc. Once they encountered the astral winds, Qi Transformation Realm swordsmen would disappear within ten breaths of time. Even Qi Sea Realm swordsmen would only be able to hold on for a little longer. They would have to leave the area of the astral winds as soon as possible, or else they would also end up being eroded.
As for the earth fire, it was even more terrifying. Once Qi Sea Realm swordsmen encountered the earth fire, they would instantly turn into ashes. Even Original Realm swordsmen would suffer great injuries.
Moreover, the earth fire in the Windy Fire Desert had another characteristic. Once it came into contact with a human body, it would continue to burn. From a small spark, it would become a prairie fire. Normal methods would not be able to extinguish it.
Within the Windy Fire Desert, there were no demonic beasts. There were only Sand Beasts, one of the strange beasts. Only Sand Beasts could survive in the Windy Fire Desert. It could be said that there were all sorts of strange things in this world.
At this moment, in the outskirts of the Windy Fire Desert, in a rather remote area, there was a huge rock that had been eroded into a natural cave by countless sandstorms. On the dry ground, there was a figure sitting cross-legged.
The entrance of the cave was sealed by a sword Qi, preventing the strong wind and sand from blowing into the cave. Thus, it was unable to affect the person inside the cave.
This person was Chu Mu, who had left the Tianfeng Region a month ago.
A month ago, Chu Mu had already reached the ninth revolution of the Nine Transformation Realm. Now that he had accumulated enough, he planned to break through the Nine Transformation Realm and enter the Original Realm.
At this moment, Chu Mu was cultivating the third section of the Heavenly Barren Sword Qi Manual: Yuan Condensation Section.
The purpose of the Yuan Condensation Section was to condense and condense the Heavenly Barren Sword Qi after the Nine Transformation Realm. After ten times of compression and condensation, there would be a qualitative change, forming an even more powerful Sword Yuan.
The difference between Sword Yuan and Sword Qi was huge, at least ten times.
In other words, the power released by one portion of Sword Yuan was at least comparable to ten portions of Sword Qi, or even more.
One could imagine that with Chu Mu's strength, once he broke through to the Original Realm, it would be extremely shocking.
A month ago, Chu Mu had dismissed Fang Liu because he no longer planned to continue operating the Sword Forging Shop. Before Chu Mu left, he gave Fang Liu some Spiritual Stones and some Sword Arts to end their relationship.
Because when he broke through to the Original Realm, there would be a lot of commotion. People would definitely guess that he was in the Nine Transformation Realm before, which might cause some unnecessary trouble.
Without a doubt, the Windy Fire Desert was a very suitable place for breaking through. Although there were many swordsmen who entered the Windy Fire Desert, the area was huge. If one wanted to hide, it would not be easy for others to find him.
Moreover, even if the commotion caused by breaking through was noticed, it would not cause as much trouble as breaking through in the Tianfeng Province.
The Sword Qi at the entrance of the cave was laid down by the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon. Even if the people of the Sword Of Gojoseon found this place, they would not be able to enter. If they tried to force their way in, they would be killed by the counterattack.
Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Chu Mu closed his eyes and circulated the Yuan Condensation Section over and over again.
The Yuan Condensation Section focused more on one's Spiritual Will. Using one's Spiritual Will to drive, it would further compress and condense the First Transformation Realm Sword Qi into Sword Yuan.
Chu Mu's soul was very powerful. Naturally, his Spiritual Will was stronger than the average swordsman, and the efficiency of condensing Sword Qi was also higher.
Now, Chu Mu had reached the final moment. The Nine Transformation Heavenly Barren Sword Qi in his body had been condensed to the extreme and was beginning to liquefy.
Sword Qi existed in the form of a gas, while Sword Yuan existed in the form of a liquid. The change in form meant an increase in quality.
Every time he circulated the Yuan Condensation Section, the Nine Transformation Realm Sword Qi would further refine his powerful body, causing the strength of his body to increase once again. In other words, other than the Heavenly Barren Sword Qi that was about to condense into Sword Yuan, Chu Mu's Heavenly Barren Sword Physique was about to break through to the second level.
Although the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon did not appear, his mind was able to cover the outside world. Everything about Chu Mu was clearly within his mind.
"Breaking through to the Origin Realm in less than a year and a half. Such a speed is truly shocking. Unfortunately, such a person cannot become my disciple," the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon sighed to himself, "I wonder how far he will go in the future? Sword Saint? Or challenge the legendary Sword God? "
Chu Mu's mind was highly concentrated, not daring to be distracted in the slightest. He circulated the Yuan Condensation Section again and again, refining the Nine Transformation Realm Sword Qi in his body bit by bit.
Gradually, the gaseous Heavenly Barren Sword Physique in his body began to change, as if it was about to turn into a liquid, condensing like water vapor.
The rumbling sound was like thunder, rumbling within his meridians. The purity of the Nine Transformation Realm Sword Qi was much higher than ordinary Nine Transformation Realm Sword Qi. When it was circulated, the burden on his meridians was even more obvious. If not for the fact that Chu Mu had already mastered the first level of the Heavenly Barren Sword Physique and was about to break through to the second level, he would not have been able to withstand such an impact.
Under Chu Mu's continuous compression, the first drop of Sword Yuan finally appeared. Like a drop of water, it flowed along his meridians and fell into his Dantian, floating up and down in his Dantian.
This was a good start. Following that, the second drop of Sword Yuan was formed.
The third drop … the fourth drop … the fifth drop …
Drop after drop of Heavenly Barren Sword Yuan was condensed by Chu Mu. Chu Mu's mind and willpower were also rapidly depleted, and his face gradually turned pale.
This was an unstoppable breakthrough. Chu Mu had to persevere until all of the Heavenly Barren Sword Qi was condensed into Heavenly Barren Sword Yuan … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
