"I hope you can attend the League Opening Ceremony in three days." Inside the Sword Tower, Su Haosha said to Chu Mu.
"I will be there." Chu Mu nodded. As a Supreme Elder of the Ancient Sword League, it was only right for him to show his face.
"Alright." Su Haosha stood up and left immediately. The Ancient Sword League's League Opening Ceremony wasn't a child's play. He couldn't be careless. Therefore, he had to make sufficient preparations to deal with all kinds of situations and ensure the smooth completion of the League Opening Ceremony.
After Su Haosha left, Chu Mu pondered for a moment before going downstairs to practice his sword arts.
While practicing his sword arts, he also practiced the Mountain Quaking Force and other force exertion techniques. After that, he practiced his power control.
Power control was the foundation. After that, he would reach the Advanced Realm. The Advanced Realm was divided into three stages. The first stage was the Initial Realm. He could only control one burst of power and concentrate it on the sword.
The second stage was the Advanced Realm. He could control the burst of power two to three times in a row and concentrate it on a certain part of the sword, such as the sword edge or the sword tip. This would make the power even more concentrated and the burst of power would be even more tyrannical.
The third stage was the Advanced Realm. The so-called Advanced Realm allowed him to concentrate his power on a small point and achieve seven to ten bursts in a row. He could also apply the Advanced Realm to the sword light, allowing the sword light to possess terrifying power.
In terms of power control, Chu Mu had already reached the Advanced Realm. Moreover, it was a profound realm within the Advanced Realm. Now, he was cultivating towards the Advanced Realm. However, the Advanced Realm was much harder than the Advanced Realm. It was impossible to reach the Advanced Realm in a short period of time.
Other than cultivating his power control, Chu Mu also cultivated his sword arts domain. All of these were power that he had to master. It was his own power. He couldn't slack off.
After finishing his cultivation, Chu Mu rested for a moment before returning to his room to refine his sword intent.
The Nine Cycle Heavenly Heart Shocking Imprint's second imprint had already been created and reached a perfect state. Chu Mu began the second cycle refinement of his sword intent and profound.
Once his Sword Intent and Profundity were refined to the Second Revolution, his strength would definitely increase significantly.
However, after the Sword Intent and Profound had reached the First Revolution, it would take more time to refine them.
During these three days, Chu Mu didn't leave his room. He either went to the first floor to cultivate his sword arts or stayed in his room to refine his sword intent and profound energy. He even took some time to study the third hand seal of the Nine Revolution Heavenly Shocking Seal.
As for Jiang Chuan and Ding Xuan, they were practically running around outside to prepare for the opening ceremony.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Chu Mu was still in the midst of cultivation, seemingly forgetting the time.
…
In an empty space within the Sword Tower area of the nine continents, the various platforms needed for the opening ceremony had already been set up. The place had also been cleaned and arranged. It was very clean and looked very different from the other places.
The golden-red cloth fluttered in the wind, adding to the solemnity of the alliance opening ceremony that had yet to begin.
There were around two thousand people gathered here from afar. They were the people who had signed up to join the Ancient Sword Alliance.
Su Haosha used his movement technique and flew over like a great roc. He landed on the main platform and raised his hands. The various discussions immediately quieted down.
Aside from the members of the Ancient Sword Alliance, there were also many swordsmen gathered around. There were several thousand of them, and they were all spectators.
They were hesitating in their hearts. They didn't know if they should join the Ancient Sword Alliance, so they specially came to see the situation before making a decision.
Vaguely, they had a strange feeling that the Ancient Sword Alliance's opening ceremony wouldn't go so smoothly. Perhaps, there would be some unforeseen events.
"Everyone, today is the opening ceremony of the Ancient Sword Alliance. We welcome everyone to participate." On the main platform, Su Haosha spoke in a clear voice. He handled this kind of situation with great ease. "We aren't people from the Archaic World. We come from other continents. Compared to the Archaic World, whether it's the cultivation environment or resources, it's like the difference between heaven and earth. Compared to the swordsmen of the Archaic World, we're very weak."
No one refuted Su Haosha's words because what he said was the truth. However, many swordsmen were filled with unwillingness in their hearts.
"But so what? In terms of talent, we won't lose to the swordsmen of the Immemorial World. The only difference between us is the difference in cultivation environment and cultivation resources. As long as we have enough time, we can also become strong and not be inferior to the swordsmen of the Immemorial World." Su Haosha's tone changed and became passionate. "I only have one goal in creating the Ancient Sword Alliance, and that's to unite us. Yes, we're indeed not strong enough right now. In fact, we might even be weak. However, I believe that if we unite, cooperate, help, and support each other …"
Su Haosha's passionate mood immediately affected everyone. Their hearts were burning with passion, and their blood was practically boiling.
"As long as we unite and form a force, who would dare to look down on us?" Su Haosha said.
"You're saying it better than singing it. I dare to look down on you. What can you do?" Suddenly, a voice pierced through the air like an arrow, causing everyone's expression to change. They all turned their heads to look at the source of the voice.
They saw several figures quickly walking over. The one who spoke was the leader. His long hair was tied behind his head, and his long and narrow eyes were incomparably sharp. There was a trace of contempt in his eyes, and a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Who are you?" As the leader of the Ancient Sword Alliance, Su Haosha had the obligation to stand out.
"My lord is Nie Yingjie, ranked fifth among the top hundred disciples." Among the several figures, one of them spoke. His tone was filled with arrogance.
Among the official disciples of the Sky Edge Sword Palace, the top ten disciples more or less had followers.
"Nie Yingjie …"
"Ranked fifth among the official disciples …"
Everyone's heart trembled, and their expressions changed. Su Haosha's face was solemn, and his eyes were grave.
The other party's tone indicated that they didn't come with good intentions. Furthermore, he was ranked fifth among the official disciples. His strength was tyrannical, and Su Haosha had to treat him seriously.
"Why isn't Chu Mu here yet?" Su Haosha was secretly anxious.
There was nothing he could do about it. The Ancient Sword Alliance could be said to be established using Chu Mu's name. If it was Su Haosha's name, he could indeed establish the Ancient Sword Alliance, but the number of members would definitely be few. It would be good if there were a few dozen members.
This time, Su Haosha also expected that the Ancient Sword Alliance's opening ceremony wouldn't be so smooth. He guessed that there would be some changes during the ceremony, so he made a lot of preparations.
However, he didn't expect that the trouble would come from Nie Yingjie, ranked fifth among the official disciples.
Although his strength was several times stronger than when he was in the Ancient Sword Continent, Su Haosha was very clear that his current strength couldn't be compared with the top hundred official disciples, let alone Nie Yingjie, who was ranked fifth.
Therefore, Su Haosha could only place his hopes on Chu Mu. He didn't know what level Chu Mu's strength had reached, but Chu Mu was the only one who had a chance to fight against Nie Yingjie.
However, Chu Mu still hadn't appeared. Su Haosha knew that Chu Mu wasn't someone who would break his promise. It must be because he was immersed in cultivation and forgot about the time. This was very normal.
"Today is the opening ceremony of my Ancient Sword Alliance. Brother Nie's presence has added luster to our Ancient Sword Alliance." Su Haosha's mind quickly turned, and he immediately came up with a countermeasure. His face revealed a smile as he cupped his hands towards Nie Yingjie.
The other swordsmen clenched their fists and looked at Nie Yingjie's group with an unfriendly expression. However, no one said anything because they knew that Su Haosha was the Alliance Master.
"My arrival has indeed added luster to your Ancient Sword Alliance." Nie Yingjie sneered, "In order to celebrate the establishment of the Ancient Sword Alliance, I've specially prepared a big gift. I'm here to accept any challenge from your Ancient Sword Alliance. If you can defeat me, I'll give you three thousand Sky Edge coins. If you can't defeat me, it can only mean that your Ancient Sword Alliance is a motley crew, a collection of trash."
Nie Yingjie didn't show any mercy, which made Su Haosha's face sink.
Jiang Li and Ji Lingfeng took a step forward. Their auras were incomparably sharp, and they glared at Nie Yingjie. However, they were stopped by Su Haosha.
Jiang Li and Ji Lingfeng were the two Vice Leaders of the Ancient Sword Alliance. Nie Yingjie's ruthless provocation had already infuriated them. Even if they weren't Nie Yingjie's match, they weren't willing to let him humiliate them.
However, Su Haosha knew that even if Jiang Li and Ji Lingfeng joined hands, they still wouldn't be Nie Yingjie's match. The slightest gap between experts would be stretched to the maximum.
Right now, they didn't have the qualifications to challenge Nie Yingjie. Therefore, they could only stall for time and hope that Chu Mu would arrive as soon as possible.
At this time, the clever Jiang Chuan had already left and returned to the Sword Tower to look for Chu Mu.
"What? Is there no one in the Ancient Sword Alliance who dares to fight my lord?" One of Nie Yingjie's followers sneered, "I know. You must think that my lord is too strong and you're not his match. Even if you fight, you'll only be humiliating yourselves. Since that's the case, I'll plead with my lord on your behalf."
"My lord, they're too weak. They don't have the qualifications to be my lord's opponent. This subordinate suggests that I play with them and let them understand that the so-called Ancient Sword Alliance is nothing more than a motley crew." The swordsman immediately turned to Nie Yingjie and said.
His words weren't concealed at all. Even Su Haosha, who had a calm temperament, was on the verge of exploding. If it wasn't for the overall situation, he would've already drawn his sword in anger.
"I'd like to see what kind of ability you have to speak such arrogant words." Ancient Sword Alliance's Lie Shanhu couldn't help but roar. He raised his sword and strode forward. His aura was fierce and violent, more powerful than before. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
