The assessment ended.
Finally, the Sky Sword Continent, which was ranked first among the nine continents, had close to two thousand people passing the assessment. On the other hand, the Ancient Sword Continent had more than seven hundred swordsmen passing the assessment.
The total number of swordsmen from the nine continents was more than nine thousand and six hundred, which was just over one-tenth of the total.
Subsequently, the death toll was announced. More than three thousand swordsmen were killed in the assessment. They were unwilling to admit defeat and fought the Sword Puppets to the death. In the end, they died under the Sword Puppets' swords.
The remaining seventy thousand swordsmen were reduced to odd jobs for the Sky Edge Sword Palace.
Chu Mu noticed that among the seven hundred swordsmen from the Ancient Sword Continent who passed the assessment, half of them were Ultimate Sword Venerables and the other half were more powerful peak Sword Venerables. As for Huangfu Huangtian, Chen Bu 'er, Shangguan Qinyin, Zong Qingtian, Jue Wudao, Yan Jiuyou, and Gu Jianghe, none of them passed the assessment. They might have died in the assessment or become odd jobs.
No matter if it was dying in the exam or becoming a servant, Chu Mu was deeply moved.
On the Ancient Sword Continent, these people were the elites among the Sword Sovereigns and were idolized by countless people. Especially the likes of Empyrean Dao Sect and Yan Nine Nether, they were the geniuses of their sects and had countless halos.
But when they came to the Immemorial World, they were reduced to such a state. They couldn't help but lament.
Strength, everything was because of strength. The Ancient Sword Continent was like that, and it was even more so in the Immemorial World.
"Congratulations on becoming official disciples of the Sky Edge Sword Palace." Another middle-aged swordsman walked over and said to Chu Mu and the other nine thousand swordsmen. He had a faint smile on his face and waved his sleeve. "Now, follow me."
The middle-aged swordsman turned and left in large strides. The nine thousand swordsmen followed behind.
To become an official disciple, one had to comprehend items related to an official disciple of the Sky Edge Sword Palace: a sword token that symbolized an official disciple of the Sky Edge Sword Palace: the Sky Edge Sword Token, a set of official disciple attire of the Sky Edge Sword Palace, a Royal Grade sword for official disciples of the Sky Edge Sword Palace, and a Sword Palace Overview.
The attire and sword were all green. Not only were the colors the same, but the designs were also divided into male and female designs. They didn't need to be worn on normal days and were only worn on important days.
For example, the Hundred Year Ceremony.
As for the 'Sword Palace Overview', it recorded the Sky Edge Sword Palace's information and things that the official disciples needed to know.
After collecting the items, it was time to arrange their accommodations.
The three of them stayed in a Sword Tower. The Sword Tower had two floors. The first floor was for sword practice, while the second floor had three bedrooms and a hall.
The two swordsmen who lived in the same Sword Tower as Chu Mu were both from the Ancient Sword Continent. One of them was called Ding Xuan, who had the strength of an elite Sword Venerable. The other was called Jiang Chuan, who had the strength of an Ultimate Sword Venerable.
The Sword Tower where Chu Mu and the other nine thousand people resided was newly built a few years ago. It was quite a distance away from the Sword Tower District where the other official disciples of the Sky Edge Sword Palace lived.
After entering the room of the Sword Tower, Chu Mu immediately took out the Introduction to the Sword Palace and started reading it. This was what the middle-aged swordsman had told him to do. Otherwise, if he violated the rules, he would be punished, and he could not blame anyone else.
There was a more detailed description of the Sky Edge Sword Palace in the Sword Palace Overview. It was divided into three regions.
The servant area, the official disciple area, and the elite disciple area.
The three regions were separated into the front, middle, and back regions of the Sky Edge Sword Palace.
Without permission, servants were not allowed to enter the official disciple area, let alone the elite disciple area. Otherwise, it would be considered trespassing, and it would not be overboard to kill them.
Similarly, official disciples were not allowed to enter the elite disciple area without permission. Otherwise, even if they were killed, no one would complain.
The Sword Palace Overview also stated that only by obtaining the title of Sword Venerable could one become an elite disciple.
"Only by obtaining the title of Sword Venerable can one become an elite disciple …" The information contained in this short sentence shocked Chu Mu.
In the nine continents, every swordsman who came to the Primordial World had the title of Sword Venerable. Furthermore, in their original world, they were all elites among Sword Venerables.
"Could it be that every one of us can become an elite disciple now?" Chu Mu thought to himself.
"No, it can't be that simple."
"Could it be that the difficulty of the Sword Venerable examination in the Primordial World is different from the one in the Ancient Sword Continent?"
After thinking about it, this was the only possibility. Otherwise, if it was the same, then they could directly become elite disciples.
Chu Mu could not help but think of Situ Xiu and Yang Lie. According to them, they were ordinary disciples of the Sky Edge Sword Palace and not elite disciples. However, their strength was shocking, enough to match the top ten Sword Venerables.
With such strength, they were only ordinary disciples and not elite disciples. This was enough to confirm Chu Mu's thoughts.
Thinking about it, it was very possible. The environment of the Primordial World was more suitable for cultivation than the Ancient Sword Continent. The difficulty of the examination would naturally be higher. Otherwise, it would become a world filled with Sword Venerables.
"I just don't know what kind of strength is needed to pass the Sword Venerable examination."
This was not the question of Chu Mu alone, but the question of all the swordsmen who saw the Sword Palace Overview.
In addition to this description, the Sword Palace Overview also introduced the sacred cultivation grounds of the Sky Edge Sword Palace, such as Sword Observation Peak, Sword Cleansing Pool, Profound Sky Wall, and so on.
Sword Observation Peak was a sacred cultivation ground that all official disciples could go to. It was also the lowest level sacred cultivation ground in the Sky Edge Sword Palace. The Sword Cleansing Pool and Profound Sky Wall were sacred cultivation grounds that elite disciples could go to at any time. If official disciples wanted to enter the Sword Cleansing Pool and Profound Sky Wall to comprehend, they would have to pay the corresponding amount of Sky Edge Coins.
The so-called Sky Edge Coins were a kind of reward given by the Sky Edge Sword Palace to disciples who contributed. In other words, it could also be called contribution points.
There were several ways to obtain Sky Edge Coins. One way was to complete missions of the Sword Palace and obtain Sky Edge Coins according to the difficulty of the mission. The other way was to obtain rewards from the Sword Palace. For example, the Hundred Year Ceremony's Grand Competition, where one could obtain Sky Edge Coins according to their rank. However, such rewards were rare, and most of them were obtained through missions.
In addition, trading between disciples was also a method to obtain Sky Edge Coins. In short, there were not only two or three ways to obtain Sky Edge Coins, but many different kinds of possibilities.
The Sword Palace Overview also specially stated that the Sky Edge Sword Palace encouraged challenges.
Within the Sky Edge Sword Palace, there were many places with Sword Battle Arenas. This was for the convenience of the Sword Palace's disciples to challenge each other. This was because there was no time limit or place limit for a challenge.
Of course, issuing a challenge required the other party to agree.
However, due to the environment of the Immemorial World, battles were everywhere. Thus, if there was no special reason, once someone issued a challenge, they would not refuse. Instead, they would immediately engage in battle.
In short, apart from not being able to kill the other party, even if one lost an arm or a leg, the Sky Edge Sword Palace had the corresponding treasures that could reattach a severed arm. It would be the same as before, and there would not be any side effects.
The [Sword Palace Overview] wasn't thick at all. There was a lot of content recorded in it, but most of it was concise and concise. There wasn't a long and detailed explanation, but as long as one wasn't an idiot, one would be able to understand the meaning behind it.
Not long after, Chu Mu finished reading the Sword Palace Overview. With his photographic memory, he remembered everything in his mind. He also had a preliminary understanding of the Sky Edge Sword Palace.
After that, Chu Mu began to cultivate the Sky Desolate Sword Scripture.
The Immemorial World was different from the Ancient Sword Continent.
In the Ancient Sword Continent, to cultivate the Sky Desolate Sword Scripture, one either had to use the Sky Desolate Stone or the Millennium Desolate Stone Milk. Otherwise, one had to be in a special environment. However, in the Immemorial World, spiritual Qi and Desolate Qi each took up half. Furthermore, they were both ten times denser than the Ancient Sword Continent. Chu Mu did not need to use the Sky Desolate Stone at all.
After three breaths, Chu Mu cleared his mind of distractions and entered a state of cultivation. The Desolate Qi in the air seemed to be summoned and rushed towards Chu Mu's body. It seeped into his skin and entered his body.
As the Sky Desolate Sword Energy revolved, the Desolate Qi was purified and transformed into Sky Desolate Sword Energy.
Chu Mu's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Complete Origin Realm. However, there was still room for improvement. He needed to temper himself again and again to reach the true limit.
This had nothing to do with comprehension or talent. It relied on patience and time to temper himself and improve bit by bit.
Many swordsmen would stay at this level for a long time before reaching the true limit. Only then would they find an opportunity to break through.
There was a huge divide between the Origin Realm and the God Condensation Realm.
After a period of time, Chu Mu finished his cultivation. He suddenly thought of something.
The Sky Desolate Earth Palace appeared in the Ancient Sword Continent and he finally obtained the corresponding inheritance. It seemed that the other eight continents also had Sky Desolate Earth Palaces. Since that was the case, there should be other swordsmen who obtained the corresponding inheritance.
Perhaps, there were eight other swordsmen who obtained the Sky Desolate Sword Token like him.
He didn't know if those swordsmen were servants or dead. Or if they passed the test and became official disciples. However, Chu Mu suddenly had a feeling that they would meet sooner or later.
He just didn't know if they would be friends, rivals, or enemies.
He didn't continue thinking about it. He would know when the time came. He would think about it when the time came.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Chu Mu, we plan to go to the Sword Hoard to see if there are any suitable techniques. Do you want to come along?" Jiang Chuan asked.
"Sword Palace Overview" recorded that every swordsman who had just become an official disciple of the Sky Edge Sword Palace had a chance to choose a technique from the first level of the Sword Hoard for free. It was a kind of benefit.
"Okay." Chu Mu thought for a while and agreed.
Firstly, he wanted to see if there were any suitable techniques for him to cultivate. Secondly, he wanted to see how the Sword Hoard of the Sky Edge Sword Palace was.
The three of them left the Sword Tower together. There were many swordsmen who had the same goal as them. They walked out of the Sword Tower District in groups and headed towards the Sword Hoard.
For the convenience of the swordsmen, "Sword Palace Overview" had a simple map of the Sky Edge Sword Palace. (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.)
