The Ancient Sword Alliance's Alliance Opening Ceremony ended smoothly and the number of members increased to three thousand. Su Haosha also announced the simple rules of the alliance. As for the detailed rules, they would be announced one after another.
Nothing could be accomplished without rules.
Basically, Chu Mu had nothing to do with it. He returned to the Sword Tower and continued to cultivate.
The news of Nie Yingjie and Sikong Zhan's number one general being defeated by Chu Mu spread out and caused another sensation.
"Nie Yingjie is ranked fifth, but he was defeated by Chu Mu."
"What's so strange about that? Sikong Zhan's number one general, Fei Kang, is definitely stronger than Nie Yingjie. Even he was defeated by Chu Mu, let alone Nie Yingjie."
… …
"Big Brother, with your strength, you shouldn't be defeated by Chu Mu, right?" The number two general said to Fei Kang. The discussions outside made the thirteen generals very angry.
"My sword intent has reached the second transition, my profound has also reached the second transition, and my control of power has also reached the first transition." Fei Kang said slowly, "His sword intent and profound are both at the first transition, not as good as mine. However, his application of the first transition is above mine, and his attainments in sword arts are also above mine. If I go all out, I have a seventy percent chance of defeating him. Moreover, my goal is only to test his methods. Winning or losing doesn't matter. "
"That's right, but Big Brother, the rumors outside are saying that you are not as good as Chu Mu. I am very unhappy that Chu Mu is in the limelight," the number two general said angrily.
"Don't worry, the higher you are, the worse you will fall in the end." Fei Kang smiled coldly and said, "At that time, if he really dares to challenge Lord Sikong Zhan, he'll have to go through us. At that time, I'll reveal my true strength and defeat him in front of countless people. I'll let him know the difference between us. He's not qualified to challenge Lord Sikong Zhan at all."
"That's right, let him be in the limelight for a while. At that time, his reputation will become a stepping stone for Lord Sikong Zhan," the number five general said.
… …
Day after day passed. Chu Mu was still cultivating while Su Haosha, Jiang Li, Ji Lingfeng, and the upper echelons of Ancient Sword Alliance discussed for several days. In the end, they came up with a relatively complete set of rules and officially announced them.
Every member of the Ancient Sword Alliance was given a book that recorded the rules of the Ancient Sword Alliance. They had to familiarize themselves with the book and memorize the rules. If they violated the rules, they would be expelled from the Ancient Sword Alliance.
As a Grand Elder of the Ancient Sword Alliance, Chu Mu naturally received a copy of the alliance's rules. He only needed to read it once before memorizing it.
In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed.
The research on the third hand seal of the Nine Revolution Heavenquake Seal was nearing completion. The embryonic form of the sword soul in his spiritual world shook and became more solid. Chu Mu could feel that the purity of his sword intent had doubled again.
Second Revolution of Sword Intent!
First Revolution of Sword Intent was twice as pure as Perfect Revolution of Sword Intent. Second Revolution of Sword Intent was twice as pure as Perfect Revolution of Sword Intent. This caused Chu Mu's strength to increase by another step.
As for Lacerating Profound, it had already reached the peak of the first revolution. However, Chu Mu felt that it would take at least ten more days to refine it to the second revolution.
At that time, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds once again.
As time passed, everything was peaceful. Chu Mu was cultivating every day.
Finally, Lacerating Profound had successfully reached the second revolution. The third hand seal of the Nine Revolution Heavenquake Seal was initially completed. After spending some more time perfecting it, he would be able to start refining the third revolution of Sword Intent and Profound.
"Second Revolution of Sword Intent and Lacerating Profound has also reached the second revolution. My strength has increased by a lot. It's time to challenge the Puppet Sword Formation." Chu Mu stood up and said inwardly. He immediately left the Sword Tower and headed towards the Puppet Sword Formation area.
Now that Chu Mu's reputation had skyrocketed, no one could compare with him. Therefore, his every move was closely watched.
As soon as Chu Mu walked towards the Puppet Sword Formation area, he immediately attracted the attention of many swordsmen. The news quickly spread. Instantly, many swordsmen rushed over and rushed into the Puppet Sword Formation area, causing the Puppet Sword Formation area to be unprecedentedly lively.
Sikong Zhan and several of the thirteen warlords also came to the Puppet Sword Formation area. They wanted to see if Chu Mu's strength had increased significantly after more than a month.
As soon as Chu Mu entered the Puppet Sword Formation area, he was shocked by the crowd. Especially when he appeared, almost all the swordsmen's eyes were focused on him.
"At least 300,000 to 400,000." Chu Mu sighed inwardly. He vaguely knew that these swordsmen were probably here for him.
Since he was here, Chu Mu did not plan to leave. Fortunately, when the swordsmen saw Chu Mu coming, they consciously made way for him. There was even a swordsman who directly handed a number plate to Chu Mu so that Chu Mu could challenge the Puppet Sword Formation directly.
Chu Mu smiled helplessly and expressed his gratitude to the swordsman. He then took the number plate and walked towards the nearest Puppet Sword Formation. There was no one in the Puppet Sword Formation.
Chu Mu directly walked into the Puppet Sword Formation and began to challenge it.
The first stage of the Puppet Sword Formation: Yin and Yang Sword Formation!
In just a breath's time, Chu Mu passed through the Yin and Yang Sword Formation.
"His sword is faster."
"It's only been slightly more than a month and his improvement is so obvious."
"I believe that there's nothing that Chu Mu can't do."
Soon, Chu Mu passed through the second stage of the Puppet Sword Formation: Three Talents Sword Formation.
The third stage of the Puppet Sword Formation: Four Symbols Sword Formation!
The fourth stage of the Puppet Sword Formation: Five Elements Sword Formation!
The fifth stage of the Puppet Sword Formation: Hexagonal Sword Formation!
Chu Mu's speed in challenging the Puppet Sword Formation was shocking. In just a few breaths' time, he consecutively broke through the fifth stage of the Hexagonal Sword Formation and entered the sixth stage of the Seven Stars Sword Formation.
Previously, Chu Mu had challenged the Seven Stars Sword Formation and finally passed it. However, it was somewhat difficult. The pressure of the Seven Stars Sword Formation was very great, and part of it was aimed at the spiritual level. At that time, Chu Mu had to resist it with all his strength.
Now, Chu Mu's sword intent and Laceration Profound had both broken through from perfection to the second transition. His strength had increased by several times, and his spiritual world had also become more solid. The pressure of the Seven Stars Sword Formation could no longer affect Chu Mu's movements. Chu Mu easily resisted the pressure of the Seven Stars Sword Formation.
However, Chu Mu was not in a hurry to break the Seven Stars Sword Formation. Instead, he slowly comprehended the mysteries of the Seven Stars Sword Formation as he dodged.
Around the Puppet Sword Formation, hundreds of thousands of swordsmen were densely packed. There were three inner and three outer circles, and it was almost airtight. Every swordsman had their eyes wide open as they stared at Chu Mu who was inside the Puppet Sword Formation. They did not miss any of his movements.
"It can be seen that Chu Mu's strength has increased by a lot compared to a month ago."
"Yes, I also saw him challenge the Seven Stars Sword Formation. It was very difficult, but now, he is handling it with ease. The increase in strength is very obvious."
Sikong Zhan and a few of the thirteen generals were shocked.
They looked at each other and saw the grave expression in each other's eyes. They all knew that Chu Mu was not as strong as he was now. In other words, in just a month's time, Chu Mu's strength had increased by a lot.
This was simply impossible.
But the truth was right in front of their eyes. The several generals trembled as a chill came from the depths of their spine and instantly spread throughout their body. It made their hairs stand on end and they felt fear.
"Perhaps, Chu Mu really has the qualifications to challenge Lord Sikong Zhan …" One of the generals said in a low voice with a trembling voice.
In their hearts, Sikong Zhan was a god-like existence. They believed that within the Sky Edge Sword Palace, even the elite disciples could not compare to Sikong Zhan.
Even among the elite disciples, there were still many people whose strength was above Sikong Zhan. But the thirteen generals firmly believed that as long as Sikong Zhan was given enough time, he would definitely become the number one elite disciple. He would dominate the elite disciples and be at the top, just like an official disciple.
Ever since Chu Mu announced that he would challenge Sikong Zhan, they began to pay attention to Chu Mu. At the beginning, they were disdainful and looked down on him. Until they were defeated by Chu Mu's sword one by one, they began to feel fear when they saw Chu Mu's improvement.
"No, how can Chu Mu compare to Lord Sikong Zhan? He is improving, but Lord Sikong Zhan is also improving. Once he dares to challenge Lord Sikong Zhan, Lord Sikong Zhan won't even need to make a move. We will make him taste the bitter taste of defeat."
Just as the generals were communicating, Chu Mu attacked. A Sword Light seemed to come from the heavens and instantly caused the Seven Star Sword Formation to stagnate. With a few more strikes, the Seven Star Sword Puppets were defeated one by one.
The sixth stage of the Puppet Sword Formation: Seven Star Sword Formation, break!
In an instant, Chu Mu entered the seventh stage of the Puppet Sword Formation: Eightfold Sword Formation.
Eightfold Sword Formation: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Ice, Thunder!
The Eightfold Sword Puppets also had different attributes. They grasped different attributes of sword energy and profound power of different attributes.
Chu Mu appeared in the center of the Eightfold Sword Formation. The Eightfold Sword Formation was immediately activated. A terrifying aura spread out and a terrifying pressure descended.
Chu Mu's expression changed. The pressure of the Eightfold Sword Formation crushed down and actually made his body sink. It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him. That pressure came from all directions. It was as if it was everywhere. Moreover, a part of it was targeting his spiritual world.
Compared to the Seven Star Sword Formation, the pressure of the Eightfold Sword Formation was not only twice as strong, but also many times stronger.
"If I came here with the first transition of sword intent profound, I probably wouldn't be able to pass through the Eightfold Sword Formation." Chu Mu was secretly shocked.
"Until now, only one person has passed through the seventh stage of the Puppet Sword Formation. That person is Sikong Zhan, who has been the champion for four to five years. Today, can Chu Mu pass through the seventh stage of the Puppet Sword Formation?"
The swordsmen were all extremely excited. Their faces were flushed red, and their eyes trembled. They were unable to move away as they stared at Chu Mu without blinking.
Sikong Zhan's generals were also staring at Chu Mu. They were secretly praying that Chu Mu would be defeated in the Eightfold Sword Formation.
Once Chu Mu passed through the Eightfold Sword Formation, it meant that among the official disciples, besides Sikong Zhan, there was a second person to pass through the seventh stage of the Puppet Sword Formation. That would undoubtedly be a blow to Sikong Zhan's position.
Once Chu Mu passed through the seventh stage of the Puppet Sword Formation, there would definitely be more rumors that Chu Mu had the qualifications to challenge Sikong Zhan. (To be continued.
