"Next, I need to earn more Sky Edge Coins and comprehend the Illusionary Profound, Water and Fire Profound to completion …" Chu Mu said to himself as he walked out of the Mysterious Sky Wall.
As for the Space Profound, it wasn't that he didn't want to comprehend it to completion. However, the Space Profound was very profound and difficult to comprehend. There was no Space Profound Nebula in the Mysterious Sky Wall, so he couldn't comprehend it faster. It was very difficult to comprehend the Space Profound to completion.
Once he comprehended the Profound to completion, he would then break through from the Origin Realm to the God Condensation Realm.
However, before that, Chu Mu had to raise his cultivation talent to fifth rank first. Only then would he be able to raise the upper limit of his cultivation to the God Congealing Realm. After cultivating Heaven Seizing Technique for a long time, Chu Mu felt that his talent wasn't far from fifth rank.
After returning to the Sword Tower and entering the second floor's hall, Chu Mu realized that there was another stranger in the hall besides Jiang Chuan.
Seeing Chu Mu, Jiang Chuan immediately stood up and let out a breath of relief. His slightly ugly face showed an expression of relief, as if he had found his backbone.
As for the stranger, he was calmly sitting on the chair. He glanced at Jiang Chuan from the corner of his eyes with a trace of disdain and contempt. Then, he looked at Chu Mu and coldly said: "So you're Chu Mu. You're really arrogant, making me wait for you for so long."
Chu Mu was stunned. He didn't seem to remember inviting this person.
"Do I know you?" Chu Mu asked indifferently.
"You will know me soon." The stranger was startled. He didn't expect Chu Mu to say that. He immediately reacted and said with a cold expression, "My surname is Chu, and my name is Chu Tengkong. Speaking of which, we have the same surname. From now on, you might be qualified to be my companion."
"I don't know what you are talking about. If there is nothing else, you can leave." Chu Mu was confused. However, the stranger's attitude and tone made him unhappy, so he directly asked him to leave.
"I am Lord Sikong Zhan's follower. Lord Sikong Zhan heard that your talent is good and you have a certain level of strength. He feels that you are qualified to be his follower. On Lord Sikong Zhan's orders, I've come to invite you to join Lord Sikong Zhan's subordinates, follow Lord Sikong Zhan, and serve Lord Sikong Zhan together. " Chu Tengkong's figure did not move at all. He still said coldly, "However, it's not that easy to become Lord Sikong Zhan's follower. You still need to pass the assessment and get our approval before you can become Lord Sikong Zhan's follower.
Chu Mu was instantly stunned and shocked.
"If you're done, you can leave. This place doesn't welcome you." Chu Mu said indifferently, once again sending him off.
"Chu Mu …" Chu Tengkong stood up. His cold face flashed with anger. His voice was like thunder as he glared at Chu Mu. His eyes were filled with anger as if he wanted to burn Chu Mu to ashes.
The terrifying aura was incomparably sharp, fluctuating around Chu Tengkong's body like a surging tide. Jiang Chuan's expression kept changing as he felt his heart tremble. Because the aura emitted by Chu Tengkong was very strong, making him feel oppressed.
This showed that Chu Tengkong's strength was far superior to Jiang Chuan.
"If you think that it is an honor to be Sikong Zhan's follower, that is your business. It has nothing to do with me." Chu Mu ignored Chu Tengkong's anger and aura and said indifferently, "But I am Chu Mu."
A simple sentence, but it displayed Chu Mu's pride and confidence without a doubt.
"Chu Mu, since we have the same surname, I'll remind you. You have to know that Senior Sikong Zhan is the number one official disciple of our Heavenly Edge Sword Palace. His talent and strength are unmatched among official disciples. Even some elite disciples aren't Senior Sikong Zhan's opponent." Chu Tengkong suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice. His voice was like the roar of a ferocious beast, "Once, the three elite disciple battle teams invited Lord Sikong Zhan to join them, but they were all rejected by Lord Sikong Zhan because Lord Sikong Zhan has his own big goal. After he becomes an elite disciple, he will establish his own battle team. With Lord Sikong Zhan's talent and strength, he will definitely develop the battle team. In the future, it will be comparable to the three elite battle teams, or even surpass them. If you become Lord Sikong Zhan's follower, you will be able to join the battle team with unlimited potential in the future. How glorious that will be! "
"You don't deserve to have the same surname as me." Chu Mu was unmoved and said indifferently.
"You …" Chu Tengkong was like a cat that had its tail stepped on. His hair and beard were fluttering in anger. The fierce aura emitted from his body instantly skyrocketed. He held the sword hilt and pulled it out by three inches. A terrifying sharp aura suddenly poured out and turned into an invisible sword that slashed towards Chu Mu.
Chu Mu let Chu Tengkong's sharp aura attack him. He didn't move an inch and his expression didn't even change.
"Want to fight?" Chu Mu said with a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Chu Tengkong's expression kept changing. He widened his eyes and stared at Chu Mu. He clenched his teeth and the veins on his forehead bulged. After a while, Chu Tengkong released the sword hilt and restrained his anger.
"Chu Mu, this is your own choice. Don't regret it in the future." Chu Tengkong stared at Chu Mu. His voice seemed to come out from the depths of his throat.
"Get out." Chu Mu said without any trace of politeness. These two words were extremely cold and indifferent, causing people's hearts to palpitate.
Chu Tengkong didn't say anything else. He felt that if he continued to stay here, he wouldn't be able to endure and would draw his sword. When that time comes, no matter what the result was, if a conflict broke out in the Sword Tower, he would inevitably be punished and implicate Sikong Zhan.
Coldly glancing at Chu Mu, Chu Tengkong walked past Chu Mu and strode down the stairs.
"Chu Mu, this is equivalent to offending Sikong Zhan." Jiang Chuan said worriedly.
Sikong Zhan was publicly acknowledged as the number one official disciple of the Sky Edge Sword Palace. Naturally, he was also the number one in the top hundred. No one doubted this point because those who were unconvinced had all lost under Sikong Zhan's sword. Moreover, they were defeated by Sikong Zhan with absolute strength.
There were over two million official disciples in the Sky Edge Sword Palace. For Sikong Zhan to be able to occupy the number one position for four to five years, it was enough to show how terrifying his strength was.
In theory, the official disciples of the Sky Edge Sword Palace only had ten years. If they couldn't become an elite disciple within ten years, they would have to leave the Sky Edge Sword Palace because the purpose of the Sky Edge Sword Palace was to nurture talents.
If they couldn't become an elite disciple within ten years using the various resources of the Sky Edge Sword Palace to cultivate, then they were no different from trash. Continuing to stay in the Sky Edge Sword Palace would only be a waste of resources.
However, there was an exception, and that was if they could become the top hundred official disciples, then they wouldn't be restricted by ten years.
In Jiang Chuan's opinion, although Chu Mu's talent was shocking, he still needed time. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to compare with an expert like Sikong Zhan. Now that he had offended Sikong Zhan, if Sikong Zhan came to find trouble with him, then Chu Mu might be in a very passive position.
"Jiang Chuan, can you help me find out more information about Sikong Zhan?" Chu Mu said indifferently. He knew about Jiang Chuan's worries, but Chu Mu's temperament was just like that. If people respected him, then he would respect them. If people didn't respect him, then why should he respect them?
If Sikong Zhan wanted to find trouble with him because of this matter, then it could only be said that Sikong Zhan was narrow-minded and didn't deserve to be the number one official disciple.
"No problem, leave it to me. I will definitely find out more about him." Jiang Chuan patted his chest and said. He was now very respectful towards Chu Mu, and seemed to regard Chu Mu as his backbone.
Jiang Chuan immediately took action and left the Sword Tower to find out more information about Sikong Zhan. On the other hand, Chu Mu went back to his bedroom to meditate and comprehend the sword intent and profound, consolidating them.
Sikong Zhan's information was very easy to find out, and it didn't take long for Jiang Chuan to return.
"Chu Mu, I have already found out more about him." Jiang Chuan hurriedly said, "Rumor has it that Sikong Zhan has already cultivated his control over his strength to the Advanced Stage. Moreover, he has passed the seventh stage of the Sword Puppet Formation. However, he rarely makes a move himself in the past two years. Therefore, no one knows exactly how strong he is.
"I also found out that one year ago, Qin Shanhe, who was ranked second, challenged Sikong Zhan, but was defeated by Sikong Zhan in three sword strikes." Jiang Chuan continued.
Chu Mu nodded. The difference in strength between the second and first place was indeed unexpected.
However, although Sikong Zhan's information was very easy to find out, some of the true secrets could not be found out. Therefore, Chu Mu did not know much about Sikong Zhan, and only knew the surface level.
The information that Jiang Chuan found out was mostly about Sikong Zhan's followers.
"There are many swordsmen who want to follow Sikong Zhan, but Sikong Zhan has very high requirements for his followers. They must pass his test and gain the recognition of the other followers." Jiang Chuan said, "Currently, Sikong Zhan has a total of thirteen followers, and they are called the Thirteen Generals. Every one of them is very powerful, and they have all passed the fourth stage of the Puppet Sword Array. However, they all left the Puppet Sword Array after passing the fourth stage, and did not attempt the fifth stage. Some people speculate that they know they are not strong enough, while others speculate that they might be deliberately hiding their strength."
"Chu Tengkong is ranked ninth among Sikong Zhan's Thirteen Generals," Jiang Chuan added, and told Chu Mu the names of the other generals, so that Chu Mu could have a better understanding of them.
"It is said that the Thirteen Generals often receive guidance from Sikong Zhan. Their strength is not as simple as it seems on the surface," Jiang Chuan said in the end.
Chu Mu nodded and smiled at Jiang Chuan, "Jiang Chuan, thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing." Jiang Chuan laughed out loud. Soon after, he seemed to intentionally or unintentionally say: "If Chu Mu also plans on recruiting followers, I reckon there will be many people willing to become your followers."
"Followers …" He glanced at Jiang Chuan, "I don't have such thoughts at the moment. Let's talk about it later."
When Jiang Chuan heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed through his eyes. He said this to test if Chu Mu had any intention of recruiting followers. If he did, he would immediately ask to become Chu Mu's follower.
After coming to the Immemorial World, Jiang Chuan deeply understood that with his talent, it would not be easy to gain a foothold in the Immemorial World. If he could find a good backer, it would be very beneficial for him.
Unfortunately, Chu Mu indicated that he did not have any intention of recruiting followers at the 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.
