Within the Zi Sky Mansion, there was a valley known as the Three Secluded Valley. It was one of the forbidden grounds of the Zi Sky Mansion, as it was extremely dangerous. Few swordsmen dared to approach it, and even if they did, they would only move around the periphery.
However, at this moment, there was a large group of people gathered in the Three Secluded Valley. There were already more than a hundred swordsmen gathered here, and more swordsmen were arriving. It was very lively.
It was noon. A group of people came from afar and entered the Three Secluded Valley. They were members of the Shen Tu family clan. There were a total of ten of them, including Chu Mu.
This time, other than Chu Mu, the Guest Elder, the other nine people from the Shen Tu family clan were all from the Shen Tu family clan. Shen Tu Wudi and the other eight experts from the family clan were all at least at the initial stage of the Origin Realm. One of them was even at the perfect stage of the Origin Realm. The aura they emitted was extremely sharp and strong, causing people to be alarmed.
Soon, the Fan and Long family members arrived. Other than that, the other three large family clans from the other counties of the Zi Sky Mansion also arrived. Some greeted each other, while others sneered at each other. It was obvious that there were some grudges between them.
The Long family members' gazes landed on Chu Mu's face. Their gazes were filled with intense hatred, as if they wanted to cut Chu Mu into a thousand pieces. Long Qianshan's gaze was especially vicious. As for a middle-aged man that Chu Mu did not recognize, he seemed to have facial paralysis. However, when his eyes landed on Chu Mu, it immediately made Chu Mu feel uncomfortable. It was as if he was constantly being sliced, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake in the dark.
Chu Mu was shocked to discover that this person's cultivation was at the peak of the Origin Realm.
"Long family's Long Ling!" Shen Tu Wudi's father, who was also the head of the Shen Tu family, Shen Tu Kuangsha, whispered in shock.
"So it's him." Shentu Wudi immediately understood. He turned to Chu Mu and said, "Brother Chu, this person is called Long Ling, the commander of the Sword Guards of the Long family. He is a lawless person. Twenty years ago, he was already at the Origin Realm, Dacheng. He is very powerful and once killed a Complete Origin Realm swordsman. After twenty years of seclusion, his cultivation should have reached the Complete Origin Realm, and his strength should be several times stronger. This time, I'm afraid that he will make a move on you. However, as long as we enter the Sword Saint's Ruins, Chu Mu will move with us, and he won't dare to make a move. "
Chu Mu nodded and did not say anything. However, he understood that even if he encountered Long Ling alone, Chu Mu would not be killed. Instead, he would be able to kill him.
"So you have already sided with the Shentu Clan." A cold voice sounded in his ear, and it was filled with anger. Chu Mu turned around and saw a cold and beautiful face. It was the young lady of the Fan family, Fan Fenghua.
Fan Fenghua was also at the Initial Origin Realm, but her aura was not very stable. Obviously, she did not break through on her own. The Fan family must have used some methods to increase her cultivation.
Indeed, Fan Fenghua's talent was not bad. However, she did not place much importance on cultivation. She placed most of her attention on business. Therefore, the Fan family used resources and pills to increase her cultivation.
This time, Fan Fenghua would also enter the Sword Saint's Ruins to look for opportunities. Due to her lack of strength, the Fan family had specially arranged experts to protect her at all times.
Originally, she had invited Chu Mu but was rejected. Now that she saw Chu Mu appear here, Fan Fenghua felt an indescribable anger in her heart. She felt as if she had been humiliated by Chu Mu.
Chu Mu only smiled and did not answer. Fan Fenghua coldly snorted and turned her head away, no longer looking at Chu Mu.
Chu Mu did not take this matter to heart.
Time passed slowly, and the scorching sun slowly set in the west.
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's prepare to enter the Sword Saint's Ruins." An old man said loudly. He came from the number one family of the Purple Sky Court, the Jing family. He was an elder of the Jing family and was at the Complete Origin Realm.
As expected of the number one family of the Purple Sky Court, there were more than twenty people here. Among them, five were at the Complete Origin Realm, ten were Dacheng, and five were at the Initial Origin Realm.
Shentu Wudi was transmitting his voice to Chu Mu, introducing the important members and experts of each family to Chu Mu so that Chu Mu could have a better understanding of them.
Among all the young people present, the most outstanding one was the second young master of the Jing family, Jing Wuming. At this moment, he was holding his sword in front of his chest and closing his eyes to rest.
As for Shentu Wudi, he was not even in the top ten among all the outstanding young people. As for Long Qianshan from the Long family, there was no need to even mention him.
As soon as the elder of the Jing family finished speaking, two old men walked out from the other two families. They each took out a small sword and began to pour their Sword Energy into it.
Three small swords flew into the air and turned into three beams of light. Their speed was unbelievably fast.
"Follow them!" As soon as the voice was heard, the swordsmen all moved and chased after the three beams of light.
There were a total of eight counties in the Purple Sky Court. Only the three major families of each county were qualified to know the news. They had to keep it under control to prevent the news from leaking out. At this moment, the twenty-four most powerful families of the Purple Sky Court quickly moved. They divided into different groups according to their families and gathered together.
As they went deeper into the Three Gloomy Valley, the light became dimmer and dimmer. It began to affect the swordsmen's vision.
One had to know that all of the swordsmen present were at least at the beginning of the Astral Realm. Although some of them were only at the beginning, and their true strength was not at the true Astral Realm, they still had the vision that only Astral Realm swordsmen had.
The dimming of the light could affect the vision of an Origin Realm swordsman. Chu Mu could feel that there was a mysterious substance floating in the air, which made him very vigilant.
As they went deeper into the valley, not only did the light become dimmer and dimmer, but there was also an oppressive Qi spreading out. Even breathing became difficult.
"We're here." A voice sounded. Everyone stopped. Three beams of light shot into the darkness and disappeared without a trace. Immediately, a faint light appeared in front of them like ripples on water.
"This is the entrance to the Sword Saint's Relic." The elder of the Jing family pointed at the faint light in front of them. Then he looked at Jing Wuming and said respectfully, "Young master, we can go in now."
"Let's go." Jing Wuming opened his eyes. They were as clear as water. He did not look at the crowd and directly flew into the light. The members of the Jing family followed him.
"Let's go too." Another member of an aristocratic family moved.
"Let's go."
One by one, the swordsmen of the families entered the faint light.
"You'd better stay with the Shentu family. Otherwise, once you're alone, you'll die." Long Qianshan's voice was transmitted into Chu Mu's ears through the sword Qi. Then, Long Qianshan and the rest of the Long family entered the Sword Saint's Relic and disappeared as if they were swallowed by the darkness.
"Let's go in too." Shentu Kuangsha said. The Shentu family, including Chu Mu, had a total of ten people. They all entered the faint light.
"What's going on?" An elder exclaimed.
"My Sword Origin … Where is my Sword Origin?" Another elder's voice was filled with fear.
"Sword Origin … has been imprisoned …" Shentu Kuangsha was dumbfounded.
Chu Mu also discovered that his Sky-Barren Sword Origin seemed to have disappeared. Although he could still see the Sky-Barren Sword Origin in his Dantian, he could not feel it. The connection between his mind and Sword Origin had been severed by some mysterious power.
"Sword Intent … My Sword Intent has also been imprisoned."
"It's not just my Sword Intent. My Profound Meaning has also been imprisoned."
"That is to say, our Sword Origin, Sword Intent, and Profound Meaning have all been imprisoned." Shentu Kuangsha regained his composure and analyzed, "If we've been imprisoned, others will also be imprisoned. This should be the rule of the Sword Saint's Relic. In this way, the level of cultivation, Sword Intent, and Profound Meaning's comprehension has no place here. Everyone can only rely on their own bodies and the swordsmanship they've painstakingly cultivated."
When Shentu Wudi heard this, he immediately looked at Chu Mu with a strange expression.
He had seen Chu Mu's swordsmanship with his own eyes and had also challenged him. In the end, he was defeated by Chu Mu with a single strike. Shentu Wudi knew that that was not Chu Mu's true swordsmanship, because even Chu Mu had been defeated by him with a single strike.
So far, Shentu Wudi had not seen anyone who could defeat Chu Mu in swordsmanship. Perhaps there were, but there shouldn't be many. In other words, among all the swordsmen who had entered the Sword Saint's Relic, Chu Mu had the greatest advantage.
Originally, Chu Mu's cultivation was only at the beginning of the Origin Realm. His Sword Intent seemed to be at fifty-one percent, and his Profound Meaning's comprehension was only at thirty percent. For his age, he was indeed a genius. Even a veteran Origin Realm swordsman like Dragon One, Dacheng, was no match for him.
However, Long Ling's strength was definitely above Dragon One's by many times. Chu Mu could not possibly be a match for Long Ling. And this time, there were more than twenty swordsmen who were stronger than Long Ling. It could be said that Chu Mu's strength could only be considered at the middle level.
But now, after entering the Sword Saint's Relic, the swordsmen's Sword Origin, Sword Intent, and Profound Meaning's strength were all restricted. They could only rely on their bodies and swordsmanship to determine their strength. Chu Mu had instantly risen to the high level.
Shentu Wudi couldn't help but feel envious. He didn't know that Chu Mu's body was not an ordinary Origin Realm body, but the Sky Desolate Sword Body. The Sky Desolate Sword Body's strength was ten times that of an ordinary Origin Realm swordsman's body.
In other words, in the Sword Saint's Relic, the strength of one's body was an advantage, and the level of one's swordsmanship was another. Chu Mu had both advantages.
"This is going to be fun. Long Family, I want to see how you will deal with me when you meet me." Chu Mu secretly laughed. This change was very interesting to him. Originally, there was a sense of urgency in his heart, but now, it was a lot more relaxed and full of confidence.
All of this originated from his terrifying swordsmanship. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
