After reaching the Origin Realm, Chu Mu's perception had increased tenfold. He closed his eyes and with a thought, his mental power instantly radiated out from his mental world, covering an area of a thousand meters. Everything was clearly displayed in Chu Mu's perception.
Just as Chu Mu's mental world had expanded by a few times, a vast expanse of yellow sand appeared. If one were to look closely, they would discover that it was actually Chu Mu's mental power radiating out, covering an area of a thousand meters. Whether it was sand or rocks, everything was clearly visible.
Even the dust particles floating in the air could be clearly felt by Chu Mu. This wonderful feeling was like a fish returning to the sea, swimming freely.
The Origin Realm was not only about condensing sword Qi into sword energy, but also expanding one's mental world to the point of being able to release mental power.
Ordinary Origin Realm swordsmen could release their mental power to a range of a hundred meters. As their cultivation increased, their mental power would slowly increase, and the range would increase as well.
However, even a Complete Origin Realm swordsman could only release their mental power to a range of five hundred meters. Of course, this only applied to ordinary Origin Realm swordsmen. Those who were born with powerful mental power, possessed techniques to refine mental power, or had some fortuitous encounter to greatly increase their mental power were not included.
However, people like Chu Mu, who could release their mental power to a range of a thousand meters upon reaching the Origin Realm, were extremely rare.
One could imagine that as Chu Mu's cultivation increased, the range of his mental power would increase as well.
At this moment, a powerful sword pressure rolled over from afar. It descended from the sky and blasted towards Chu Mu. The yellow sand around Chu Mu seemed to be swept away by an invisible hand and was blown away.
"Origin Realm …" Chu Mu retracted his mental power and raised his head to look at the source of the sword pressure. He saw a figure flying over, appearing in the sky and looking down at him.
With a thought, Chu Mu's body floated into the air and shot up into the sky like an arrow. He didn't use any flying secret techniques.
Astral Realm swordsmen already possessed the ability to fly. Because of their powerful Spiritual Energy and Sword Origin, they were able to escape the gravitational pull of the ground.
Although it was his first time flying in the Origin Realm, Chu Mu didn't face any difficulty at all. He stably faced the swordsman from a few hundred meters above the ground.
"Chu Mu, it is indeed you." A cold smile appeared on the other party's face.
Chu Mu didn't say anything because he clearly saw who the other party was. It was one of Situ Feng's two Sword Guards, the Origin Realm Sword Guard named Dacheng.
"You were indeed in the Ninth Transformation Realm. You didn't find a secluded place to enter seclusion and instead appeared outside." The man continued talking with a cold smile on his face, as if he had everything under his control. He was similar to Situ Feng, "Shocking, this is truly shocking. You actually used less than a year and a half to pass the Ninth Transformation Realm and break through to the Origin Realm. There must be a shocking secret behind this."
Chu Mu still didn't say anything. He didn't even show any special expression.
"Tell me, if I were to announce this news, what kind of commotion would it cause?" The middle-aged swordsman smiled proudly.
"Tell me your goal." Chu Mu finally opened his mouth and said indifferently.
"Hahaha … My goal is simple. As long as you follow me back to see the young master and agree to work for him, I will keep this news to myself." The middle-aged swordsman smiled, "Of course, I believe that a genius like you has extraordinary strength. Even so, you don't have the strength to kill me. Once you do, I will immediately leave and spread the news. At that time, even the top ten sword sects will be interested."
A threat, a naked threat.
Chu Mu could tell from the other person's tone that he wasn't joking and was serious. As long as Chu Mu didn't do as the other person said, he would definitely announce this news.
At that time, regardless of whether the news was true or false, it would definitely cause a storm. And the center of the storm would be Chu Mu. At that time, he would be in endless trouble.
"Take a guess. Between the trouble that hasn't come yet and the threat that threatens me, which one would I choose?" Chu Mu suddenly smiled and asked.
"It seems that you don't intend to cooperate." The middle-aged swordsman's expression turned cold. He instantly drew his sword and slashed out. In an instant, a fiery red sword light appeared. It was incomparably huge, as if it could cut through the sky.
Immediately after, the middle-aged swordsman turned around and exploded with a terrifying sword origin wave. With a boom, the air shook as he turned into a ray of light and flew away.
He wasn't stupid. He probably knew that with his current strength, if he wanted to kill a genius swordsman like Chu Mu, even if there was a huge gap between their cultivation bases, the success rate wasn't very high. After all, geniuses were geniuses because they often had trump cards that others didn't have.
"Moon Slashing!"
Chu Mu's figure flashed and dodged the huge fiery red sword light. With a low roar, Chu Mu held the Eight-sided Desolation Sword in his hand and slashed out.
The sword origin was the bone, the sword will was the soul, and the Ultimacy was the flesh. In an instant, the perfect Moon Slashing tore through the sky.
A ten-meter-long dark golden crescent moon tore through the sky at lightning speed. It locked onto the Origin Realm swordsman Dacheng and approached him at a speed ten times faster than his own.
The middle-aged swordsman's body trembled. He turned around and his face turned pale. He was scared out of his wits.
The aura emitted by Chu Mu's perfect Moon Slashing was too powerful. Thirty-nine percent sword will and thirty percent Ultimacy were perfectly combined with the Desolation Sword Origin. Furthermore, the Eight-sided Desolation Sword was a top-notch Royal Grade sword. Due to its special properties, the Desolation Sword Origin had an obvious amplification effect.
The Origin Realm swordsman Dacheng's sword will had reached forty percent, and his Fire Ultimacy had reached fifty percent. In addition to his powerful sword origin, he could have blocked Chu Mu's attack and not died if he had used all his strength.
However, Chu Mu's attack was beyond his expectations. The speed of the Moon Slashing was unbelievably fast. Once again, it exceeded his expectations. By the time he reacted and mobilized the sword origin in his body, preparing to release a sword technique, the Moon Slashing had already arrived. It instantly tore apart his protective sword aura and his precious armor.
With a ripping sound, as if a long blade had cut through flesh, the Origin Realm swordsman Dacheng's body was split into two halves. Blood rained down like rain.
Chu Mu's thirty-nine percent sword will was comparable to a forty-nine percent sword will without a Sword Soul. The thirty percent Ultimacy was comparable to a sixty percent Ultimacy. As for sword origin, the Desolation Sword Origin was more condensed than ordinary sword origin. With the amplification of the Eight-sided Desolation Sword, it was at least fifty percent stronger.
With such a powerful Moon Slashing, even if the opponent tried his best to block it, he would most likely be injured.
Although the Origin Realm swordsman Dacheng did not use his full strength to block it, Chu Mu was able to roughly test the power of the Moon Slashing.
Chu Mu's figure flashed and he quickly landed on the ground. He picked up the Royal Rank Sword and Spatial Bracer from the corpse that had fallen on the yellow sand. A flame appeared under Chu Mu's control and burned the corpse into ashes.
"Apart from this person, Situ Feng should also be suspicious of me. His other sword guard and maid might also know something. This is a potential problem, so I must get rid of it." Chu Mu glanced at the ashes of the corpse that was swallowed by the yellow sand and thought to himself. Traces of light flickered in his eyes.
Between the trouble that had yet to come and the threat of giving in, Chu Mu was unwilling to choose.
However, if he was forced to make a choice, Chu Mu would rather be in trouble than be threatened. This was his principle and his path.
"The Sword Sovereign Realm requires at least seventy percent Sword Intent … Although there is no requirement for cultivation, those who can comprehend seventy percent Sword Intent should be able to reach the Origin Realm. Dacheng's cultivation should be able to reach the Perfection Realm. Coupled with the increase in other profoundness, his strength should be extremely terrifying. The current me is still unable to compete with a Sword Sovereign Realm swordsman.
"I wonder if Senior Brother Xiao has broken through to the Origin Realm?"
"Even if Senior Brother Xiao has broken through to the Origin Realm, we would still not be a match for a Sword Sovereign under normal circumstances. The Sky Burying Sword Sect's Venerable Zang Tian has the strength of a Sword Sovereign. Even the most ordinary Sword Sovereign's strength is above ours …"
"If that's the case, I will wait a little longer and increase my cultivation before seeking revenge."
"The Ancient Sword Tomb is about to open. There might be great opportunities inside …"
After staying in the Tianfeng Prefecture for more than a year, Chu Mu was not oblivious to the outside world. He had gathered quite a bit of information.
The Wind-Fire Desert was a place where swordsmen trained and earned Spiritual Stones. It was the most suitable place for Origin Realm swordsmen. Within the Wind-Fire Desert, there was an ancient sword tomb called the Ancient Sword Tomb.
The Ancient Sword Tomb had existed for a very long time. Its exact origins were unknown. All that was known was that there were many opportunities within the Ancient Sword Tomb. One could even obtain the Sword Dao Inheritance within. Of course, opportunities often coexisted with danger. The Ancient Sword Tomb contained countless dangers. One could die within if one was not careful.
The Ancient Sword Tomb appeared once every thirty years. Each time, it would appear at a different location. Therefore, no one knew where the Ancient Sword Tomb would appear this time. The only thing that was certain was that the Ancient Sword Tomb would still appear in the Wind-Fire Desert. As for the exact location, only when the signs of the Ancient Sword Tomb appeared would they know.
"If the time is correct, the Ancient Sword Tomb will appear in another day."
Chu Mu flew above the Wind-Fire Desert. He wanted to see what the Sand Beasts of the Wind-Fire Desert looked like.
At the same time, a large number of swordsmen rushed into the Wind-Fire Desert. Their goal was naturally the Ancient Sword Tomb that was about to appear … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
