In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
On the other side of the Mingjian Lake, one could see silhouettes appearing one after another outside the Mingjian Tower. There were exactly one hundred of them.
These one hundred swordsmen moved one after another, flying away from the Mingjian Island at an extremely fast speed. In less than ten breaths of time, they had crossed the ten thousand meter wide Mingjian Lake. Some of them did not even touch the ground as they directly flew away, while others landed and walked into the crowd.
Beside the Mingjian Lake, a large number of swordsmen had gathered. Their attention was all focused on the Mingjian Island on the other side of the lake.
Because the Mingjian Hero Gathering was about to begin.
Whoever could enter the Mingjian Island in the top one hundred would gain an opportunity. Of course, it was only the beginning.
However, the Mingjian Hero Gathering had not officially started yet. Therefore, no one dared to move first.
The reason was simple. Every time the Mingjian Hero Gathering was held, it would be hosted by a disciple of the mysterious Sword Saint from the Hundred Saints Alliance. He was a powerful warrior from the Sword Of Gojoseon. Since he had not appeared yet, it meant that the Mingjian Hero Gathering had not officially started yet.
If anyone wanted to break the rules and move first, not only would they offend the majority of the swordsmen, they would also offend the powerful warrior from the Sword Of Gojoseon. They would be looking down on the Sword Saint.
Even the leaders of the top ten sword sects would not dare to look down on a Sword Saint. Therefore, the swordsmen could only obediently follow the rules of the Mingjian Hero Gathering.
Time passed by slowly. Chu Mu was also in the crowd. He also wanted to participate in the Mingjian Hero Gathering.
Waiting was the most stressful thing, especially at a time like this, when it was filled with endless thoughts. Many swordsmen's breathing became rapid. Only a few swordsmen were able to remain calm. Their eyes were shining brightly as they stared at the other side of the lake without blinking.
A wind-breaking sound was heard. Then, a silhouette flew across the Mingjian Lake like an aurora. In the blink of an eye, it crossed ten thousand meters and appeared in the sky above the Mingjian Island. It was a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back. His silver robe fluttered in the wind.
He was the Sword Of Gojoseon, the host of the Famed Sword Hero Gathering!
The appearance of the Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon let the swordsmen know that the Famed Sword Heroes Gathering was about to begin. Therefore, the swordsmen began to channel their Sword Energy, which was like the surging waters of a great river. The power of their bodies surged, and waves of tyrannical and fierce aura spread out from the bodies of the swordsmen.
Strange whistling sounds could be heard in the air as countless cyclones spun around. They either shattered or merged together to become even larger cyclones. Dust and smoke filled the air as a desolate world appeared.
The Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon glanced around. The Famed Sword Lake was filled with swordsmen. There were at least tens of thousands of them. He had seen this scene countless times and was a little tired of it. It was only because of his master's instructions that he had to come out once every six months.
Withdrawing his gaze, the Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon did not say a word. He waved his hand and a beam of sword energy shot into the sky, exploding several hundred meters in the air like fireworks.
It was a signal, the signal for the Famed Sword Hero Gathering to begin.
In a split second, the sound of wind breaking was heard. One by one, the figures turned into auroras, lightning, fire, and shadows. They all shot up into the sky from the Famed Sword Lake and flew at their fastest speed towards the Famed Sword Island on the other side of the Famed Sword Lake.
To an Origin Realm swordsman, it might take twenty to thirty breaths of time to cover a distance of ten thousand meters. It might also take ten breaths of time, or even less.
Normally, it would not make a difference whether it took ten breaths or thirty breaths of time. It was just a short time, as if it would pass by in the blink of an eye.
But now, every breath felt as long as a day to the swordsmen.
"Go, go, go!" Many swordsmen stared fiercely at Mingjian Island. They gritted their teeth and roared in their hearts. They couldn't wait to convert all their strength into speed. Even if there would be a period of exhaustion later, they didn't care. They must reach Mingjian Island before others.
"Even if I can't reach the Famed Sword Island a hundred times in advance, I still have many chances to challenge it. There's no rush." There were also a few swordsmen who had the same thought.
"Be it now or half a year later, I will be in the top one hundred." This was a swordsman who was confident in his speed and strength.
"Speed is not my forte. I just need to try my best. I will have more chances to challenge it later." This was a swordsman who was confident in his strength but not his speed.
All in all, no matter what kind of mentality the swordsmen had, they all participated in the Famed Sword Hero Gathering. Tens of thousands of swordsmen flew at full speed. It was a spectacular scene, as if a swarm of locusts were going to destroy crops.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths …
The swordsmen who were good at speed stood out and started to surpass the others.
Five breaths, six breaths, seven breaths …
At this moment, the swordsmen who were extremely fast had already crossed half of the Famed Sword Lake, while the swordsmen who were slow had only crossed a quarter of the distance. The difference became obvious.
There were about a thousand swordsmen in the lead, and Chu Mu was among them.
At this moment, the real competition began among these thousand swordsmen. The other swordsmen who were not fast enough were ignored.
Some swordsmen simply stopped and gave up. They were already so far behind, so it would be a waste of energy to continue. They might as well watch the others fight and enjoy the show.
Nearly a thousand swordsmen were all full of energy. No one was willing to fall behind. In just a few breaths, there were many changes and the competition was extremely intense.
In terms of speed, Chu Mu was not weak to begin with. Without using the Profound of Space, his speed was not inferior to a normal Peak Astral Realm swordsman. Once he used the Profound of Space, his speed would increase by a lot.
However, among these thousand swordsmen, there was no lack of genius swordsmen. For example, those who had comprehended the Profound of Light and the Profound of Speed. Their speed was extremely frightening. In addition, they had cultivated the corresponding movement skills, which greatly increased their speed.
Chu Mu's speed increased bit by bit, and he began to stand out among the thousand swordsmen.
"Damn it, don't even think about overtaking me." The swordsmen who were overtaken by Chu Mu had a cold expression. They tried their best to increase their speed, wanting to overtake Chu Mu. However, they realized that not only did they not overtake Chu Mu, but they were also being pulled further and further away. Their faces were filled with unwillingness as they stared at Chu Mu's back, as if they wanted to remember him.
Time flew by. Ten breaths later, Mingjian Island was already within reach. At this moment, there were a total of ten swordsmen who had overtaken the others.
The ten swordsmen consisted of seven men and three women. Every one of them was terrifyingly fast. However, Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon only glanced at them casually. He did not care at all. In his life, he had seen many geniuses. Some were good at this, and some were good at that. Therefore, although these ten swordsmen were fast, they did not attract his attention.
In this world, speed was not enough to make you live to the end.
"The first place is mine." One of the swordsmen shouted. His speed suddenly increased by thirty percent, and with a swoosh, he overtook the others.
Although the first place did not have any substantial rewards, at this moment, it was like a kind of motivation, giving everyone the urge to fight for the first place. In fact, the reason why they were fighting so hard was not only because they wanted to enter the Mingjian Hero Gathering, but also because they wanted to be the first to step onto Mingjian Island. It was a kind of glory.
"In your dreams." Another swordsman burst out, increasing his speed.
Then, one of the three female swordsmen suddenly overtook the others silently like a ghost, and appeared in the front.
Everyone was competing with each other.
At this moment, they were less than five hundred meters away from Mingjian Island. Such a distance could be crossed in one breath's time.
It was too short and too fast. The other swordsmen could only watch as the female swordsman overtook them. Although they still had some tricks up their sleeves, they could not use them in less than one breath's time. The first place was not going to be theirs.
The Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon was expressionless. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and his face revealed a look of disbelief. In his eyes, among the ten leading swordsmen, a swordsman in the middle suddenly flashed, as if he had teleported, and appeared in front of the leading female swordsman.
Then, that swordsman took the lead and rushed into the range of Mingjian Island. He was the first to land on Mingjian Island.
"That's right, I didn't feel it wrong. That must be the fluctuation of the Profound of Space …" The Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon's expression returned to normal, but his eyes were still filled with surprise.
The Power of Space was one of the supreme powers. There were very few swordsmen who could comprehend it. At least until now, the Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon knew of no more than ten swordsmen who had comprehended the Power of Space, including himself.
And these ten swordsmen who had comprehended the Power of Space were either older than him, or younger than him. However, they had extraordinary backgrounds and were not fated with him.
He did not expect to meet a swordsman who had comprehended the Power of Space in the many Mingjian Hero Gatherings that he had hosted. Moreover, it was a swordsman who did not look more than thirty years old who had comprehended the Power of Space to the Profound Level.
The Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon stared at Chu Mu's figure. He carefully tried to recall if he had seen this person before, or if this person was related to those experts that he knew of.
After all, as the descendants of experts, more or less, there would be some similarities in bloodline or aura. This was something that only experts could sense.
"Could it be …" The Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon's eyes suddenly lit up. He stared at Chu Mu with a burning gaze.
Chu Mu's sharp intuition told him that he was being watched. He quickly turned around and happened to see the Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon's burning gaze. It was as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
"What sharp intuition." The Vacuum Sword Of Gojoseon looked at Chu Mu more and more, but the others did not find Chu Mu so pleasing to the eye. Instead, they felt that he was an eyesore, especially the female swordsman. Her gaze was sharp, as if she wanted to pierce through Chu Mu.
It could not be helped. Chu Mu had snatched the first place at the last moment. (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.)
