(Brothers and sisters, happy Dragon Boat Festival! Eat more rice dumplings!)
"Captain, that brat just met Gu Yue and stayed in a restaurant for half an hour." A member of the Berserk Squad reported to Sha Kuang.
"Keep an eye on him." Sha Kuang's eyes were filled with killing intent as he bit into a large piece of meat in his hand as if it was Chu Mu's meat. "Once he leaves the Holy City, inform me immediately. I want to use his head as a final gift to the Bloody Mang Squad."
"Yes, captain."
…
Chu Mu returned to his room with the book Gu Yue gave him.
The cover of this book was black, and there were a few words written in bold strokes, vigorous and forceful.
< Small Collection of Treasures of the Ancient Region >
Flipping open the cover, Chu Mu found a table of contents. After a rough glance, he found that the table of contents only had a thousand entries.
There were definitely more than a thousand types of treasures in the Ancient Ancient Region. However, this book only recorded a thousand types of treasures. No wonder it was called a small collection.
Chu Mu wasn't sure if the black stone he obtained from the Dragon Claw Tribe was really a treasure. He also didn't know if it was in this small collection. Therefore, he could only start from the first page. After all, the book didn't have a detailed classification. He only saw the names of many things and didn't know what they looked like.
With Chu Mu's reading ability, he only used half an hour to finish reading the book. Moreover, his powerful memory allowed him to remember the contents of the book as if they were branded in his mind.
Putting away the book, Chu Mu closed his eyes and recalled the contents of the book. There were records of thousands of treasures, such as spiritual herbs and ores.
He found that he didn't seem to see any records of the black stone.
Could it be that it wasn't recorded?
Thinking of this, Chu Mu took out the black stone and carefully observed it. He even released his mental energy and tried to penetrate it.
At first, he couldn't do anything. However, after several attempts, Chu Mu's mental energy finally penetrated a bit.
"This is …" Chu Mu's face showed a shocked expression.
Retracting his mental energy, he gathered the sword energy on his finger and grabbed it.
With a cracking sound, cracks appeared on the stone. Chu Mu forcefully pulled it off and saw a completely different color.
It was transparent like a crystal, and there were specks of starlight moving slowly inside, like the stars in the night sky.
"Could it be …" Chu Mu's eyes lit up. He waved his hands in the air and broke off the black stones, revealing an oval-shaped crystal about the size of an egg.
It was like a flawless crystal with specks of starlight inside. It was deep and mysterious, full of mysteries, like a miniature version of the starry night sky.
Holding this crystal, Chu Mu could clearly feel the strange energy ripples emanating from it. The energy ripples were constantly being emitted and disappeared into the surrounding space.
Carefully looking at the crystal, the specks of starlight within it seemed to have turned into a night sky, causing one to almost be intoxicated.
Fortunately, Chu Mu's soul was strong enough to wake up and escape.
"Heavenly Star Crystal … It is indeed such a treasure …" Chu Mu sighed, revealing a heartfelt smile.
The Heavenly Star Crystal was recorded in the small collection book. It was one of the top ten treasures among the thousands of treasures and was very precious.
The Heavenly Star Crystal had only one function, and that was to release radiation to change the bloodline of savage beasts or demonic beasts. This change was to make them better, stronger, and more perfect.
Regardless of whether it was demonic beasts or savage beasts, the Heavenly Star Crystal had an unparalleled allure. It was a rare treasure that could allow their life to evolve.
Although the Heavenly Star Crystal was useless to humans, there were some human swordsmen who reared demonic beasts or savage beasts. When these demonic beasts or savage beasts grew up, they would become excellent helpers.
If one could obtain the Heavenly Star Crystal and mutate the bloodline of the demonic beasts or savage beasts, they would become even stronger and be of greater help to the swordsmen.
"Sell it …" Chu Mu thought about how to deal with this Heavenly Star Crystal. "Or should I tame a savage beast and use the Heavenly Star Crystal to mutate the savage beast's bloodline?"
"Keep it first."
Using the Infinite Barren Sword Vitality and sword intent, he set up a simple seal on the surface of the Heavenly Star Crystal, preventing its power from radiating out.
As the Heavenly Star Crystal was a consumable, as its power continued to radiate from within, the Heavenly Star Crystal would become smaller and smaller until it eventually disappeared.
Therefore, before it was used, he would seal it first to prevent it from leaking out.
"Let's go to the Swordsman Mansion to take a look at the mission first."
Chu Mu's goal was to see if there were any suitable special missions to do. After all, special missions earned more hunting points than regular missions.
Unfortunately, he could not find a suitable special mission. Chu Mu sold the inner cores of the steel-shattering savage beasts in his spatial ring to the Swordsman Mansion in exchange for some high-grade spirit stones to replenish his consumption. After that, he left the Swordsman Mansion and headed out of the Holy Wildlands City.
Not long after Chu Mu left the Holy Wildlands City, the Berserker Squad also left the city to check on his tracks.
"He runs pretty fast." Sha Kuang's face was ferocious. "Chase!"
Immediately, the five members of the Berserker Squad burst forth with speed and chased in the direction Chu Mu left.
…
Chu Mu's speed was very fast, almost at full strength. Moreover, his endurance was very shocking. Therefore, after an hour, the Berserker Squad could only stare blankly at Chu Mu's back as it got further and further away from them until it could no longer be seen.
"Damn bastard!" The Berserker Squad was furious. Sha Kuang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The difference between a Completion Astral Realm warrior and four Profound Astral Realm swordsmen was less than a quarter of an hour, yet they couldn't even catch up to a Lesser Astral Realm swordsman. If word got out, the Mad Killing Squad would lose all face.
"Chase! We must catch up to him no matter what."
The Berserker Squad was determined to catch up to Chu Mu. No matter what, they had to catch up to him.
One must know that when they were chasing after the other junior Sword Hunters, they had caught up to them in less than thirty minutes and killed them instantly. It was a clean job. Those junior Sword Hunters were all at the Origin Realm Dacheng Swordsmen level.
For Chu Mu to become a junior Sword Hunter despite being at the Minor Achievement Astral Realm and having a duel with Yang Lianfeng of the Jade Sword Gang, it was enough to show that Chu Mu's talent was shocking. Sha Kuang did not care about the duel. All in all, he had to kill Chu Mu.
With a slight sound of wind breaking, Chu Mu's figure was like a cloud of dust. It was as if he had lost all his weight as he lightly flew across the ground. His speed was increasing bit by bit.
This was something that was almost impossible.
Originally, Chu Mu's speed was already faster than an ordinary Complete Astral Realm swordsman. But now, it was still increasing. It was unbelievable.
"What an unbelievable state …"
Chu Mu's face was filled with amazement.
He tried to apply the state of emptiness to the Flying Goose Illusory Steps. At first, it was very difficult because the Flying Goose Illusory Steps contained the Profound of Illusion and Reality.
The state of mind and the Profound were completely different. The two powers could not be combined. Therefore, Chu Mu could only use the state of emptiness to replace the Profound of Illusion and Reality.
After a short period of hard work, he successfully replaced the Profound of Illusion with the state of emptiness. Chu Mu then realized that the Flying Goose Illusory Steps had undergone a magical change.
In terms of power, seventy percent state of emptiness was not as good as thirty percent state of the Profound of Illusion. But for some reason, the state of emptiness was more suitable for the Flying Goose Illusory Steps than the Profound of Illusion.
Chu Mu only felt an indistinct connection between his body and the space around him. This connection caused the spatial restriction he felt to continuously decrease. It was as if an eagle was soaring in the sky, or a fish was swimming in the water.
It was as if the Flying Goose Illusory Steps was born for the state of emptiness. Between the two, there was a hundred percent harmony.
Chu Mu's figure was like a wisp of smoke. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed hundreds of thousands of meters. The sound of the wind was barely audible.
After Chu Mu had integrated seventy percent state of emptiness into the Flying Goose Illusory Steps, his speed had reached its current limit. He had shaken off the Mad Killer Team that was chasing after him.
"Compared to the Flying Swan Illusory Steps of the Void Concept, the Flying Swan Illusory Steps of the Void Concept is much faster and the user's body is also much lighter. However, its effect on the user's vision is much weaker."
The state of emptiness and the Profound of Illusion and Reality were two different powers with their own characteristics. When the two powers were used alternately in the Flying Goose Illusory Steps, there would be different results. Especially in battle, it would definitely be more flexible.
Since he had shaken off the Mad Killer Team, Chu Mu began to alternately use the two powers to drive the Flying Goose Illusory Steps.
In the beginning, it wasn't very flexible. But Chu Mu's comprehension was shocking. His soul power was powerful, and his mental power was far superior to others. His control over his body was much more precise. After a few tries, he began to grasp it.
Sometimes, it was like he was moving, but sometimes he wasn't. It looked like he was still in the same place, but in reality, he was already hundreds of meters away.
Sometimes, it was like he had lost all his weight and was three inches above the ground. It was almost as if he was flying.
Because of the special rules of the Ancient Ancient Wilderness, the True Realm swordsmen who came here couldn't fly. Only those who had reached the God Condensation Realm could resist the restrictions of the rules to a certain extent and regain the ability to fly.
But today, Chu Mu had done something that other True Realm swordsmen couldn't, even though he was only three inches above the ground.
"Maybe after the state of emptiness breaks through to the Profound of Emptiness, I will be able to fly again. At that time, it will be more convenient for me to travel or escape." With this thought in mind, Chu Mu went deeper into the Ancient Wilderness.
This time, he planned to spend two to three months hunting the Earth-shattering Giant Barbaric Beasts to obtain more hunting points and try his best to stay in the Enlightenment Pagoda for as long as possible. It would be best if he could raise the state of emptiness to the Profound of Emptiness level, and then raise the level of his sword intent and other profounds as much as possible.
Actually, Chu Mu didn't really care about the half-year battle with Yang Lianfeng. In his opinion, it was only a small obstacle on his path. All his efforts were for him to go further on the path of the sword, and not just for Yang Lianfeng. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
