Ordinary swordsmen did not know about the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly. Only those who had become a Sword Venerable were qualified to know about it, or those who had surpassed the level of a Sword Venerable.
There were many Sword Venerables in the Ancient Sword Continent. After they learned about the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly, most of the Sword Venerables began to go into seclusion. A small number of Sword Venerables went into some dangerous and forbidden places to explore, to see if they could come across any fortuitous encounters or obtain inheritances to improve their strength, in order to amaze the world at the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly.
Chu Mu flew all the way. He did not belong to any sect, so he had to rely on himself to find a suitable place for seclusion.
After spending about a few days, Chu Mu found a place that he was satisfied with for seclusion.
There was a cliff on a high mountain that was about a few hundred square meters in size. There was an ancient pine tree on the edge of the cliff that extended diagonally out of the cliff, standing in the wind. The cliff reminded Chu Mu of the time when he was cultivating in the Qingfeng Sword Sect.
The pine cliff was very similar, but the cliff here was wider than the one on Mount Qinglan. It was also more secluded and uninhabited.
Chu Mu made some slight modifications and carved a cave residence on the cliff for him to live in.
Below the cliff was a vast sea of clouds that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Chu Mu stood at the edge of the cliff, facing the sea of clouds. There was a setting sun, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the boundless sea of clouds. A blood-red color permeated the air, as if it was stained with blood.
There was a bit of beauty and a bit of tragedy.
Unknowingly, Chu Mu fell into memories, recalling the short period of time when he was cultivating in Mount Qinglan.
When he woke up, it was already the next day. The sun rose, and the golden-red light shone on the boundless sea of clouds, adding a bit of sacred solemnity to the air.
The sun rose and set, and the sun rose and set. It was a cycle, and yet another day had passed.
Chu Mu unsheathed his sword and began to practice his Basic Sword Technique on the cliff. Unknowingly, Chu Mu had integrated the Sword Technique he had seen in the Myriad Origin Palace into his Basic Sword Technique. In an instant, his Basic Sword Technique became incomparably sharp. Every sword strike was simple and direct, capable of tearing through space and containing an incomparably terrifying power.
It could be said that every stroke of the sword contained the power of the Sword Principle Realm, and its power was even more terrifying. Now that the Basic Swordsmanship had been upgraded, the power of every stroke was comparable to a slightly weaker sword skill. Once Chu Mu got close and performed this powerful Basic Swordsmanship, it was equivalent to being continuously attacked by sword skills.
After practicing the basic sword techniques for the entire morning, Chu Mu sat at the edge of the cliff and looked at the sea of clouds. His mind gradually calmed down, and he got rid of all distracting thoughts, entering a state of emptiness.
Slowly closing his eyes, Chu Mu began to comprehend the sword intent.
Day after day, month after month.
Chu Mu settled down on this mountain. Every day, he practiced the Infinite Desolate Sword Codex, the Heaven Seizing Technique, the Basic Sword Technique, comprehending the sword intent, comprehending various profoundness, researching sword skills, and reading "Analysis of Spatial Force."
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. Chu Mu's overall strength had clearly increased again. However, without a suitable opponent, he didn't know what level his strength had reached.
Ever since he had obtained the Heaven Seizing Technique on the fourth level of the Ancient Sword Tomb, Chu Mu had begun to cultivate.
However, the progress was very small, and there weren't any results. It wasn't until he had killed the hundred Swift Dragon Sword Guards and plundered their cultivation talent that Chu Mu felt that the Heaven Seizing Technique had made significant progress. However, there was still some distance before he could break through.
Today, when Chu Mu wasn't cultivating, he tidied up his interspatial ring. He discovered that the Stellar Heavenly Crystal he had obtained from the Ancient Desolate Realm had been completely used up. As for the unknown wild beast's eggshell, there were traces of cloud patterns that looked like wings.
"It's mutated …" Chu Mu revealed a smile. At this moment, the egg in his hand suddenly trembled as if it had come to life. With a cracking sound, a crack appeared on the eggshell.
Chu Mu had already placed the eggshell on the ground. He had been staring at it, waiting for the little life inside to break out.
With another cracking sound, the eggshell broke and a head popped out. For the first time, it breathed in the air of this world.
Chu Mu was a little curious as he stared at the little life that was about to break out of the eggshell.
The head was about the size of a duck's egg, and the neck was thicker than the head. It was similar to a miniature version of the Savage Clawed Dragon's head, and its color was a light yellowish-brown.
The cracking sounds continued as the little life's four limbs also broke out of the eggshell, displaying extraordinary strength.
When other little life forms first broke out of their eggshells, they would often be very clumsy as they struggled to get out of the eggshell. However, this little fellow was very domineering. It used its strength and four limbs to forcefully destroy the eggshell. As soon as it was born, a powerful aura emanated from its small body.
This little fellow's body looked very strange. It had the sharp and terrifying claws of a Savage Clawed Dragon, and its hind limbs were developed like a Savage Clawed Dragon. Its body was strong, and it vaguely had the violent and domineering strength of a Savage Clawed Dragon.
In addition, it also had a tail that was longer than its body. The end of the tail was incomparably sharp, as if it contained a wisp of cold star.
There was a small bulge on its forehead, and there was a small bulge on the left and right sides of its back. It was unknown what they were.
This little fellow's skin was yellowish-brown, and upon closer inspection, it looked very delicate.
As everyone knew, when little life forms first broke out of their eggshells, they would treat the first life form they saw as their closest companion. This little fellow was no exception. This little fellow took steady steps towards Chu Mu, and stretched out its pink tongue to lick Chu Mu's palm. Its teeth were very thin and very dense.
Chu Mu used his other hand to touch the little fellow's body. Its delicate skin felt smooth and warm. He did not dare to use too much strength, for fear of abrasions.
Vaguely, Chu Mu could feel that this little fellow was extraordinary, but as for how extraordinary, he was not sure. He only knew that this little fellow's bloodline had undergone many mutations.
Three times?
Four times?
Or even more?
He did not know, but one thing was certain. Once this little fellow grew up, its strength would definitely be extraordinary.
After being intimate with Chu Mu for a while, the little fellow turned around and walked towards the shattered eggshells on the ground. It opened its mouth and used its tongue to roll the eggshells into its mouth. Its fine teeth began to chew, chewing the eggshells and swallowing them. After a while, all the eggshells were eaten by the little fellow.
The little fellow even used its claws to rub its belly and burped.
Chu Mu was suddenly surprised. The Savage Beasts he had encountered did not possess much intelligence, but the little fellow in front of him behaved very humanely. Could it be that this little fellow also possessed intelligence?
The Savage Beasts' strength was astonishing. Once they possessed intelligence, they would definitely become even more powerful.
This discovery made Chu Mu even happier.
After eating, the little fellow walked to Chu Mu's side and leaned against Chu Mu's leg to lie down comfortably. Looking like a young master, Chu Mu did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It could be expected that with this little fellow, Chu Mu's life would definitely be much more interesting.
Looking at the sleeping little fellow, Chu Mu muttered to himself, "I don't know what kind of Savage Beasts this little fellow is. Its bloodline has mutated so many times. Let me give it a name."
"Although it is small now, once it grows up, it will definitely be powerful and absolutely domineering. Let's just call it Bawang."
"Bawang … Bawang …" After repeating it several times, Chu Mu immediately clapped his hands and decided, "Little fellow, from now on, your name will be Bawang."
Whether this name was vulgar or not, Chu Mu did not care.
Naming was originally a difficult task. Even Chu Mu was no exception.
As expected of a Savage Beasts that had mutated so many times, Bawang's growth speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Bawang, which had originally been the size of a puppy, had already grown to the size of an adult dog.
Its fine teeth were even more obvious, and its biting strength was astonishing. With a simple swipe of its claws, it could leave clear marks on the hard mountain walls.
When he had left the Ancient Savage Realm, Chu Mu had killed a hundred Savage Swift Dragon sword guards and stored their corpses in his spatial bracelet. The meat had been preserved very well and had become Bawang's food.
Eating the meat of the Savage Beasts, the energy contained within was constantly absorbed by Bawang, accelerating its growth.
As for the Inner Cores of the Savage Beasts, the energy contained within them was too great. For the time being, Bawang could not eat them.
In the second month, Bawang's body had grown to the size of a wolfdog, and it was still eating the Savage Swift Dragon's meat.
In the third month, Bawang's body had grown to the size of a calf, and it was still eating the Savage Swift Dragon's meat. However, its appetite was growing, and the remaining Savage Swift Dragon's meat was not enough to support its appetite for the next month.
"It should be time to eat the Inner Cores of the Savage Beasts." After Bawang had finished eating all the Savage Swift Dragon's meat, Chu Mu picked out the Inner Core with the weakest energy and gave it to Bawang.
After eating the Inner Core, Bawang fell into a deep sleep. It only woke up ten days later. Its body had grown even larger, and it was now the size of a bull.
After waking up, it ate another Inner Core. This time, after sleeping for five days, its body had grown even larger.
In addition to cultivating, Chu Mu also had an additional mission, which was to fight Bawang.
The current Bawang only had the strength of a Steel-crushing Savage Beast, but its bloodline had undergone many mutations. In addition to its innate combat talent and high intelligence, as well as Chu Mu's deliberate training, it was completely comparable to an Earth-shattering Savage Beast.
Chu Mu discovered that in a situation where their strength was about the same, it was quite difficult for him to defeat Bawang with just his combat skills.
This also meant that Bawang's combat ability had reached a certain level, surpassing many swordsmen.
However, Bawang still had a lot of potential that could be developed further. (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.)
