An astonishing shockwave rushed into the sky, and a terrifying shockwave wreaked havoc. All the trees within a thousand meters were destroyed, as if they had been sucked into a spatial crack, disappearing without a trace.
Bawang rushed forward, and in front of him was like a water surface. Ripples spread out, and Bawang's head entered first, followed by his neck, and then his body.
In the blink of an eye, Bawang seemed to have entered the void and disappeared.
All the shockwaves calmed down, and Chu Mu heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly used the profound meaning of space and quickly left.
About a quarter of an hour after Chu Mu left, a few figures appeared in the sky like ghosts. They quickly landed, checked around, and communicated with each other before leaving with some doubts.
About two to four hours later, a group of swordsmen also arrived. They searched around but couldn't find anything, so they left while cursing.
They thought that some treasure had appeared, but they didn't expect to find nothing.
Maybe someone had already taken it, or maybe there was no treasure.
…
Chu Mu took a detour and returned to the temporary gathering place. No one knew what he was going to do.
He directly entered the wooden house and closed the door. Chu Mu was in a good mood. After using the ancient beast taming technique, he established a contract with Bawang. From then on, if Bawang died, his profound meaning would be damaged. If he died, Bawang would also die.
In other words, even if an expert took a fancy to Bawang, they wouldn't be able to take him away.
Chu Mu could also clearly feel the existence of the Warbeast Space, and could also feel the existence of Bawang. It was as if it existed in the void, beside him, invisible and untouchable. However, as long as he was willing, he could summon Bawang.
The deaths of the four Sword Saints didn't attract anyone's attention. As time passed, more and more Sword Saints came to the temporary gathering place.
Occasionally, they would walk around the temporary market to see if there were any suitable treasures. However, other than obtaining the ancient beast taming technique, they basically didn't gain anything.
Most of the time, Chu Mu stayed in the wooden house to cultivate, preparing for the upcoming Unparalleled Sword Venerable Gathering.
During this period, Hua Buxie asked about Bawang's whereabouts several times. Chu Mu used the excuse that Bawang was in the care of a friend to brush him off.
Without Bawang, Hua Buxie rarely went to Chu Mu. Chu Mu was also happy to have peace and quiet.
In the blink of an eye, the time was up.
"Tomorrow is the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly." Inside the wooden house, Chu Mu opened his eyes. His blood seemed to be on fire.
Just like Chu Mu, the Sword Revered Guild members in the temporary gathering place all had their blood boiling and their eyes shining brightly. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
The next day, before the sun had risen, the Sword Venerables had already left the wooden house and were waiting outside. There was no other way, no one could remain calm during the first Unparalleled Sword Venerable Meeting.
"The first Unparalleled Sword Venerable Meeting has begun. The first ten thousand Sword Venerables to reach the Hundred Saints Mountain will be qualified." A loud and clear voice seemed to have come from the sky. It reverberated throughout the area and fell into the ears of every Sword Venerable.
"Ten thousand!" The Sword Venerables' eyes widened, their eyeballs almost popping out.
There were so many Sword Venerables in the Ancient Sword Continent. There were at least a few hundred thousand Sword Venerables here. Among so many Sword Venerables, only ten thousand would be qualified.
For a moment, the Sword Venerables smelled the scent of cruelty.
With a whoosh, someone was the first to move.
The Hundred Saints Mountain was the highest mountain in the Central Sword Domain. It was nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine meters tall. The Hundred Saints Alliance's main hall was located at the top of the mountain.
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine meters was nothing to a Sword Venerable. They could climb it in a short time.
However, the Hundred Saints Mountain was no ordinary mountain. Once they entered the range of the Hundred Saints Mountain, even Sword Of Gojoseon would not be able to fly, unless they were Sword Saints.
Moreover, as they climbed, the higher they climbed, the greater the pressure. As a result, it was impossible to determine how much time it would take to reach the top of the mountain.
The Sword Venerables in the four temporary gathering places all moved. They used their Body Movement Skills and rushed out. Some were as fast as the wind, some were like flowing water, some were as fierce and violent as raging fire, and some were as frightening as the thunder.
Among the several hundred thousand Sword Venerables, only ten thousand could enter the true Unparalleled Sword Venerable Meeting. The others would all be eliminated. This was completely different from choosing one out of several dozen people.
If one out of five hundred thousand was chosen, forty-nine would be eliminated. However, if one out of five hundred thousand was chosen, four hundred and ninety thousand would be eliminated.
The difference between forty-nine and four hundred and ninety thousand was extremely huge.
Not only was the Hundred Saints Mountain tall, but it also occupied a large area. The several hundred thousand Sword Venerables entered and spread out. They used various methods to quickly rush to the top.
In the blink of an eye, most of the Sword Venerables had crossed several hundred meters. They seemed to be able to reach the top very quickly.
After three seconds, most of the Sword Venerables had crossed eleven thousand and eleven meters. Chu Mu only felt his body sink. The suction force from the ground had doubled, and the pressure from the surrounding space had doubled as well. His speed immediately dropped, and he had to use even more power to maintain his original speed.
To the Sword Venerables, this pressure was not strong enough. They increased the output of their power and continued to rush up at high speed.
In the blink of an eye, they had crossed two thousand two hundred and twenty-two meters. Chu Mu once again felt the suction force from below double, and the pressure from the surrounding space doubled as well.
In order to maintain their speed, the Sword Venerables had no choice but to increase the output of their power.
The difference between the several hundred thousand Sword Venerables began to appear. The stronger Sword Venerables remained at the front, while the weaker Sword Venerables fell behind.
However, some Sword Venerables advanced bravely, striving to stand out from the several hundred thousand people in the shortest amount of time possible and successfully become one of the ten thousand people who reached the top of the Hundred Saints Mountain.
No one attacked each other. If they did, they would definitely slow down their own speed and lead to chaos. If they were unlucky, they might even end up worse off. As a result, all the Sword Venerables were focused on rushing up.
At three thousand three hundred and thirty-three meters, the suction force and spatial pressure doubled again. Some of the weaker Sword Venerables had a difficult expression. They clenched their teeth and endured, but their speed had clearly dropped.
Although the pressure was great, Chu Mu was still able to endure it. His speed did not change, and his energy consumption only increased slightly.
According to the current situation, Chu Mu was at the very front of the group. He was very likely to become one of the ten thousand Sword Venerables who reached the top of the Hundred Saints Mountain.
However, there were no absolutes in the world. Right now, they had only reached a third of the Hundred Saints Mountain. Many Sword Venerables were still preserving their strength, waiting for the final moment to erupt.
Three figures hovered in the clouds above. They were all Sword Saint experts, and they were currently looking down.
"The first Unparalleled Sword Venerable Meeting. It's very memorable."
"Hundreds of thousands of Sword Venerables competing together. This is the only time this has happened."
"With this first time, there will be a second and third time. What interests me is that there are a few decent little fellows among the hundreds of thousands of Sword Venerables." As he spoke, the Sword Saint pointed with his finger.
"Oh, let me see." The eyes of the other two Sword Saints flashed as they stared at the so-called "little fellows."
These so-called "little fellows" were all above thirty years old. However, in the eyes of Sword Saints who were hundreds and thousands of years old, they were indeed little fellows.
"They are calm and composed, and their divine light is restrained. They are indeed extraordinary. Their strength should be in the top one hundred among the hundreds of thousands of Sword Venerables."
"Let's look at the others. We might find something even more surprising."
Among the hundreds of thousands of Sword Venerables, there were veteran Sword Venerables and new Sword Venerables. As long as one did not die after obtaining the title of Sword Venerable and did not break through to the Divine Condensation Realm, they would still be Sword Venerables.
These Sword Venerables usually cultivated for more than ten years or even dozens of years more than other Sword Venerables. Their accumulation was deeper, and their strength was shocking.
Of course, the longer one cultivated, the more powerful they would be. Some people were born to be powerful. Even if their cultivation time was not as long as others, their talent and comprehension were shocking. Their strength was terrifying.
"Go, go, go! I must reach the top ten thousand!"
"No matter what, I cannot give up."
"I must be one of the top ten thousand!"
Many Sword Venerables screamed in their hearts. They gathered their strength and channeled their Sword Yuan into their legs. They used their Profound to resist the gravity and spatial binding power of the Hundred Saints Mountain, maintaining their speed.
The Hundred Saints Mountain, which was nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine meters tall, seemed to be thousands of times longer in the eyes of the Sword Venerables. It seemed to be an endless path. When they raised their heads, they could not see the end. It made them feel hopeless.
At this moment, they had only reached four thousand four hundred and forty-four meters.
The angle and the increased gravity and spatial binding power brought even more pressure to the Sword Venerables. This pressure did not only affect their bodies, but also their minds. It was a double pressure.
Five thousand five hundred and fifty-five meters!
Six thousand six hundred and sixty-six meters!
At this point, they had already reached two thirds of the height of the Hundred Saints Mountain. There was only one third left.
Those Sword Venerables who were originally calm began to look serious. At this moment, the gravity and spatial binding power had already reached a level where they had to pay attention to it.
Chu Mu's expression also became serious. He had planned to use his Profound of Space, but his sharp intuition told him that there were some eyes watching him from somewhere. He subconsciously did not want to expose himself.
Most importantly, among the hundreds of thousands of Sword Venerables, many of them were unfathomable. Many of them were definitely hiding their strength. Perhaps once he used his Profound of Space, his aura would be immediately detected by some people.
Of course, if Chu Mu was sure that he could not make it to the top ten thousand, he would definitely use his Profound of Space. Otherwise, no matter how much strength he had, he would still be eliminated. It would be a huge joke. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
