The teacher-in-chief's words had a great impact on Chu Mu. It turned out that in the Immemorial World, there were many other races besides the Human Race.
It turned out that in the Immemorial World, the Human Race was no longer the overlord and had declined.
All of this seemed to be very close to Chu Mu, but it was also very far away. This was because he wasn't qualified to participate in the competition between races. He didn't even have the qualifications to understand it in detail. Only by constantly increasing his strength and becoming stronger would he be qualified to participate in the competition.
After sorting out his thoughts, Chu Mu left the Sword Tower again and followed the map to the Sword Cleansing Pool.
Along the way, some swordsmen met Chu Mu. If they were from the nine small worlds, they would nod at Chu Mu or even greet him. If they were from the Immemorial World, they would stare at Chu Mu as if they wanted to see if Chu Mu had three heads and six arms or if there was something strange about him. They wanted to see how he could cultivate his strength to the Boundary Realm in such a short time.
It was undeniable that Chu Mu brought a great shock. The tens of thousands of swordsmen who witnessed it spread the news and soon, it spread throughout the entire Sky Edge Sword Palace. Other than those disciples who weren't in the Sky Edge Sword Palace or in seclusion, basically everyone knew about it.
Even some of the elite disciples were aware of the news.
…
"You are Chu Mu?" The deacon of the Sword Cleansing Pool looked at the Sky Edge Sword Token in his hand and then looked at Chu Mu before asking.
"Yes." Chu Mu nodded.
"Yes, you have three free chances to enter the Sword Cleansing Pool. After three times, you will have to pay two hundred Sky Edge Coins each time. Of course, if you become an elite disciple, you can enter the Sword Cleansing Pool at any time." The deacon's eyelids trembled as he spoke casually. He handed the Sky Edge Sword Token back to Chu Mu and said, "Go in. If there are no seats, wait first. Remember, no fighting is allowed in the Sword Cleansing Pool. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences."
After putting away the sword token, Chu Mu walked into the Sword Cleansing Pool.
The Sword Observation Peak was a mountain while the Sword Cleansing Pool was a pool of calm water.
The Sword-cleansing Pond was very large, and it looked like a huge lake. The water was clear, and one could see the bottom with a single glance. It was very calm, without any ripples.
Traces of a peculiar aura were constantly being emitted from the Sword-cleansing Pool, giving people an indescribable feeling.
On the incomparably huge and boundless Sword Cleansing Pool, lotus leaves floated everywhere. It was as if there was an invisible hand slowly pushing those lotus leaves from below. Strangely, wherever the lotus leaves floated past, there was not the slightest ripple.
It looked like stagnant water, but it gave people a feeling that it was full of vitality.
At the edge of the Sword-cleansing Pool, there were several people sitting about three to four meters apart. They were all staring at the Sword-cleansing Pool with their eyes shining brightly and dimly, as if they were demonstrating various mysteries.
As far as the eye could see, the edge of the Sword-cleansing Pool was filled with people. There were no empty seats at all.
Chu Mu had no choice but to continue walking forward, circling around the Sword-cleansing Pool in search of a location.
The Sky Edge Sword Palace had two million official disciples, but it was unclear how many elite disciples there were. Even if one had to pay two hundred Sky Edge Coins to comprehend in the Sword-cleansing Pool, there were still many disciples who were willing to pay, not to mention elite disciples who were free.
Fortunately, the Sword-cleansing Pool was big enough. After walking for a while, Chu Mu saw an empty spot and immediately walked over.
"Wait." A low shout came from behind. Chu Mu turned around and saw a figure rushing over like a gust of wind, "That spot is mine."
Chu Mu quickly took a few steps forward and stood at that spot, then slowly sat down. Only then did that figure appear beside the spot, staring at Chu Mu with a murderous aura in his eyes. It was as if he was a ferocious beast that wanted to devour Chu Mu.
That person stood behind Chu Mu for a dozen breaths before he snorted and left, continuing to search for a spot.
As soon as Chu Mu sat down, he had a strange feeling. The distracting thoughts in his mind were quickly eliminated, and the pool water in front of him seemed to have become clearer. He could see the bottom at a glance, but it was also like a bottomless abyss with no end in sight.
Chu Mu didn't even need to take the initiative. The embryonic form of the sword soul in his spiritual world trembled. Under Chu Mu's gaze, the Sword-cleansing Pool in front of him seemed to have a slight ripple that spread out. A figure slowly appeared, going from blurry to clear.
It was Chu Mu's reflection.
That reflection seemed to be endowed with a unique life and actually came to life. It was as if there was another Chu Mu at the bottom of the pool. Chu Mu at the bottom of the pool winked and smiled at Chu Mu at the edge of the Sword-cleansing Pool, then he stood up from his cross-legged position.
It was unknown when, but a sword had appeared in his hand. It was in the style of the Eight-sided Sky Desolation Sword.
The smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became calm without any ripples. He took a step forward, gently waved the sword in his hand, and made a starting gesture of swordsmanship.
Then, Chu Mu stabbed out with his sword and practiced the most primitive basic swordsmanship. His movements at the beginning were somewhat crooked.
As Chu Mu was practicing swordsmanship in the Sword-cleansing Pool, a figure seemed to have appeared in Chu Mu's spiritual world above the Sword-cleansing Pool. It was also practicing the most primitive basic swordsmanship. The sword in its hand was the embryonic form of the sword soul.
Every sword stroke, every movement, and even every detail of the figure in the spiritual world was the same as the figure reflected in the Sword-cleansing Pool. It was as if they were the same person.
Sword after sword, over and over again, the movements became more precise and stable. The most primitive basic swordsmanship was displayed to its fullest.
As the swordsmanship was cultivated, Chu Mu found that the basic swordsmanship had undergone subtle changes. If it was seen by others, it would not be obvious, but Chu Mu could tell the difference.
Because that was his personal experience.
On Earth, when one became an apprentice and learned sword arts, one had to start from the most primitive basic sword arts until they were extremely proficient. Only then would one make slight changes to the basic sword arts according to one's own characteristics, allowing the basic sword arts to be more flexible and powerful.
The reflection in the Sword-cleansing Pool seemed to be replaying the process of Chu Mu's sword practice one by one, reliving the memories buried deep in his mind.
Looking at the reflection in the Sword-Cleansing Pool, Chu Mu had a strange feeling, as if he was reliving the process of learning and practicing the sword.
The Sword-cleansing Pool, the Sword-cleansing Pool, cleansing the heart to train the sword, cleansing the sword to train the heart, the heart and the sword as one!
The impurities in the heart and the sword were gradually removed by the mystical power of the Sword Cleansing Pool.
Every swordsman who meditated in the Sword Cleansing Pool would not necessarily see the same thing. Most of the time, they would start with the aspect that the swordsman was most proud of. Only then would they be able to achieve a better comprehension effect.
As for the effect of comprehension, it was related to the soul of the swordsman.
A swordsman with a powerful soul would often have a better comprehension effect.
Under the Sword-Cleansing Pool, Chu Mu's reflection was still practicing his swordsmanship. One stroke after another, over and over again, as if he did not know what fatigue was. The next stroke of the swordsmanship would have subtle changes compared to the previous one, and he was improving all the time.
The world of swordsmanship was endless.
The swordsmanship of Chu Mu's reflection in the Sword-Cleansing Pool became more and more fierce. It had integrated the essence of the Laceration Profound Meaning that he comprehended in the Palace of All Sources. Every stroke had an extremely sharp edge that could cut through anything.
Gradually, the sword became more harmonious and was no longer as sharp as before. However, the power did not decrease, but increased instead. That was because the sharpness was restrained.
It was a swordsmanship that encompassed everything.
In Chu Mu's Spiritual World, the reflection holding the embryonic form of the Sword Soul continued to practice over and over again, tirelessly. As he cultivated, the embryonic form of the Sword Soul also solidified little by little, and the sword essence contained in it steadily increased.
Time passed slowly. A group of swordsmen beside Chu Mu left, and another group came. However, Chu Mu was still immersed in his comprehension. His eyes never blinked as he stared at the surface of the Sword-Cleansing Pool.
His powerful soul allowed him to stay in a state of comprehension for a long time.
One did not know how long one cultivated. Soon, a day had passed. The Sword-Cleansing Pool in front of Chu Mu's eyes rippled again. Wherever the ripples passed, the reflection became blurred and disappeared. Chu Mu also woke up.
This kind of comprehension couldn't be continued forever. Instead, it depended on the strength of one's soul. The amount of time it could take could be long or short. A normal sword artist could only comprehend for four to six hours. Chu Mu, on the other hand, could spend an entire day comprehending.
"Ninety percent sword essence …" After waking up, Chu Mu did not immediately get up and leave. Instead, he checked the changes in his body and was immediately shocked.
His comprehension at Sword Observation Peak had increased his sword essence from eighty percent to eighty-two percent. Now, his comprehension at the Sword-Cleansing Pool had increased his sword essence from eighty-two percent to ninety percent. This speed of improvement was too shocking.
"So I still have two chances. Does that mean I can improve my comprehension of sword essence to perfection?" Thinking of this, Chu Mu was slightly excited.
Once his sword essence reached perfection, his strength would definitely increase significantly.
In that case, the Mysterious Sky Wall should be of great help to the comprehension of profound meanings. Perhaps the three free chances to comprehend the Mysterious Sky Wall would allow one or two of his profound meanings to reach perfection.
Perfection of sword essence, perfection of profound meaning, coupled with advanced control of power, Chu Mu's strength would increase by more than ten times.
Standing up and turning around, Chu Mu strode toward the exit of the Sword-Cleansing Pool. Subconsciously, he swung his hand in place of a sword and activated the Sword Technique Domain. Chu Mu was stunned again, somewhat in disbelief.
Stopping and calming his mind, Chu Mu once again swung his hand in place of a sword and activated the Sword Technique Domain. To his surprise, he discovered that within a three-meter radius of his arm, light was distorted and refracted. There was a strange force constantly affecting it.
"Sword Technique Domain … has actually reached the third level …" Chu Mu muttered to himself, full of disbelief and realization.
He had never imagined that his comprehension at the Sword-Cleansing Pool would bring him such great benefits. His sword essence had increased from eighty-two percent to ninety percent, and his Sword Technique Domain had directly surpassed the peak of the second level to reach the third level.
"It's still not enough. I have to continue improving and become stronger. I have to apply for the Sword Venerable test as soon as possible and become an elite disciple. Only then can I come into contact with more secrets …" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
