As for the matter of Chu Mu challenging Sikong Zhan, after experiencing a storm of excitement, it slowly died down. It seemed that everything had returned to normal.
However, everyone knew that at that time, at that place, there would be a battle waiting for them.
The current calmness was only for the frenzied upheaval at that time.
Qin Shanhe hadn't appeared since he was defeated by Sikong Zhan's sword again. He should have stayed in his own Sword Tower to reflect and improve his strength.
The powerful pressure was like an invisible mountain that constantly suppressed Chu Mu. It made Chu Mu feel the powerful pressure at all times.
Under such pressure, Chu Mu was cultivating and improving himself at all times. He knew very well that Sikong Zhan was very powerful and talented. He was many times stronger than the opponents he had encountered in the past.
Even in his heart, Chu Mu didn't have much confidence that he could defeat Sikong Zhan in the challenge.
The time was too short.
This was an extremely difficult challenge. Because of this, Chu Mu was so excited. It was a feeling that he hadn't felt for a long time. Now, he had forgotten his other goals. He just wanted to fight Sikong Zhan to his heart's content.
In order to be able to fight a strong opponent like Sikong Zhan to his heart's content, Chu Mu needed to constantly improve his strength.
He didn't stop cultivating. Chu Mu's entire body was tense. He didn't have the slightest time to rest. His brain was constantly working and never stopped.
Fortunately, Chu Mu's soul was ten times stronger than an ordinary swordsman. His mind was also very strong. Therefore, he was able to withstand the constant consumption and recovery, forming a virtuous cycle.
Every day, he would refine the Sky-Barren Sword Origin. Then, he would cultivate sword arts and everything related on the first floor of the Sword Tower. After that, he would use the Nine Revolution Heaven Shocking Seal to refine his sword will and the Laceration Profound.
His sword intent and tearing profound had both reached the second revolution, and the third hand imprint of the Nine Revolution Sky Shocking Seal had been successfully created as well. Chu Mu had already started the third revolution of his sword intent and tearing profound. Within two months, he was confident that he could reach the third level of his sword intent and tearing profound. As for the fourth level, there was no hope.
With each revolution of the Sword Intent Profound, the further one progressed, the more difficult it became.
Chu Mu's tempering speed was already shockingly fast.
These were Chu Mu's cultivation during the day. At night, Chu Mu would continue to head to the foot of Sword Observation Peak and occupy a spot to cultivate the Southern Dipper Mind Refining Scripture.
After seven days of cultivation, Chu Mu could clearly sense the star energy of the Tianfu Star. Furthermore, his ability to draw in star energy was much smoother than before. His refining efficiency had also increased.
Although there was still a long way to go before he could cultivate the Tianfu Star Chapter, Chu Mu could feel that his consciousness had become purer under the refinement of the Tianfu Star.
As for the quantity of his consciousness, it hadn't increased. Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry. The Southern Dipper Mind Refining Scripture mentioned that one must first condense all of their consciousness into a single consciousness star. Only then would the potential of their consciousness be unlocked until they were filled to the point of condensing a second consciousness star.
Chu Mu still hadn't reached the standard of condensing a consciousness star, but Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry. The Southern Dipper Mind Refining Scripture was very mysterious and far surpassed the Tempering Mind Technique. It was only natural that his cultivation progress was slow.
If it were any other swordsman, they might not even be able to reach the entry level.
In the blink of an eye, time passed like water. It had been a month since Chu Mu had challenged Sikong Zhan.
Late at night, the foot of Sword Observation Peak was very quiet.
The laws of the Immemorial Realm were many times more complete than those of the Ancient Sword Continent. Therefore, the night in the Immemorial Realm was different from the night in the Ancient Sword Continent.
On the Ancient Sword Continent, the vision of an Origin Realm swordsman wouldn't be affected by the night. However, in the Immemorial Realm, the vision of an Origin Realm swordsman was only slightly better than that of an ordinary person on the Ancient Sword Continent.
Even though Chu Mu had cultivated the Sword Observation Technique and had vision that surpassed ordinary Origin Realm swordsmen, he could only see some vague outlines in the Immemorial Realm's night.
Fortunately, his consciousness could still cover a hundred meters.
A swordsman's cultivation didn't differentiate between day and night. However, comprehending on the Sword Observation Peak required one to be able to see the peak clearly. At this late hour, one could only see the vague outlines of the peak. How could one comprehend it?
Therefore, in the surroundings of Observing Sword Peak, there was only Chu Mu.
Chu Mu wasn't comprehending the Sword Observation Peak. Even with his vision, it was difficult for him to see the Sword Observation Peak clearly in the middle of the night. He was sensing the power of the stars from the Tianfu Star and guiding it into his spiritual world to refine his consciousness.
After a month of cultivation, Chu Mu was already very familiar with the two steps of sensing and drawing upon the Heavenly Palace Star's power. He could do it with ease and ease.
After a month of refining, Chu Mu's consciousness had become much purer. Tonight was a very crucial night.
In the middle of the night, under the guidance of Chu Mu's increasingly powerful mental intent, threads of star power that couldn't be seen with the naked eye followed an invisible line and entered Chu Mu's mental world, unceasingly cleansing and refining the intent within the mental world.
More and more Heavenly Palace's star power was guided into his mental world. When it reached a certain level, Chu Mu retracted his mental remembrance and instantly cut off his connection with the Heavenly Palace's star power.
In Chu Mu's spiritual world, specks of starlight twinkled like stars in the sky. It was as if this place had become a miniature version of the night sky.
He withdrew his consciousness and immediately mobilized it. It spun as if a gust of wind had swept up.
The wind gradually intensified and evolved into a storm, carrying specks of starlight toward the center.
After a month of continuous cultivation, Chu Mu had finally cultivated the first chapter of the Southern Dipper Mind Refining Scripture to the point where he could condense a star of consciousness. Now was the time to condense a star of consciousness.
This process was very important and couldn't be interrupted. It had to be condensed in one go. Otherwise, if he gave up halfway, it would shake the spiritual world and cause a certain amount of damage. It would take a considerable amount of time to recover before it could be condensed again.
That would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
Chu Mu was so focused that he completely forgot everything outside his body. He even forgot about his body. It was as if he had entered the spiritual world.
The storm became stronger and stronger. Under the swirling scouring of countless starlight, the spiritual storm's consciousness became purer little by little. The speed of purification was faster than before, which surprised Chu Mu.
Time slowly passed. Under the quiet Sword Observation Peak, Chu Mu was sitting cross-legged. His spiritual world was undergoing a transformation.
Rumbling sounds echoed in the spiritual world. The momentum was as powerful as ten thousand galloping horses. It was earth-shattering and extremely shocking.
As the spiritual storm continued to spin and shrink, Chu Mu felt a terrifying pressure coming from it, squeezing the barrier of the spiritual world. Fortunately, his spiritual world was strong and stable enough to resist the pressure.
However, the pressure grew stronger and stronger. Gradually, Chu Mu seemed to hear the spiritual world creaking. It was as if it was on the verge of collapse and could be crushed by the increasingly powerful pressure at any time.
When the pressure increased to the extreme, Chu Mu was a little worried that the barrier of the spiritual world would be able to withstand the continuous impact of the pressure.
However, this was the last moment, the most critical moment.
The spiritual storm had been compressed and condensed to the extreme, turning into a small vortex that spun crazily at an extremely high speed. All the starlight gathered in it. It looked as if countless sparks were colliding in it and were about to splash out. It was incomparably dazzling.
"Condense!"
In the spiritual world, Chu Mu's stern shout sounded. It was full of power as if it was the dignified order of a high and mighty god.
In an instant, the vortex of spiritual thoughts collapsed again.
"Condense!"
"Condense!"
"Condense!"
Every time it condensed, Chu Mu would feel his spiritual world shake. The pressure that had been increased to the extreme seemed to have increased again, attacking the barrier of the spiritual world. It felt as if a feather was crushing Mount Tai.
At this time, it was either success or death. There was no possibility of retreat.
"Condense! Condense! Condense!"
Three condenses in a row, almost superimposed on each other. The spiritual storm that had almost collapsed to the extreme suddenly trembled and collapsed again, almost condensing into a solid. Then, it trembled violently as if it was about to explode.
Chu Mu hurriedly suppressed it with his powerful will, causing the spiritual storm that seemed to be about to explode to tremble continuously. Chu Mu was not in the mood to care about the pressure on the barrier of the spiritual world.
At this time, only by completely condensing his spiritual thoughts could he save himself from the crisis at this time.
The pressure of the life-and-death crisis gave Chu Mu a huge motivation. His powerful will erupted and suppressed the spiritual storm once again, crazily crushing it.
"Condense!"
A voice that seemed to resound through the heavens and earth once again rang out in the mental world. The terrifying pressure that was like an unending tide instantly paused. The mental intent storm that had almost collapsed to the limit and was about to explode abruptly trembled. All resistance was shattered by Chu Mu's willpower.
The spiritual storm collapsed again, and a series of explosions came from within. The explosions caused Chu Mu's will to tremble violently and almost shatter. His consciousness also fell into a temporary darkness in an instant.
It was only a hundredth of a second, but it felt as long as ten years. When Chu Mu woke up, he suddenly realized that the enormous pressure in the spiritual world had disappeared. His spiritual world, under unknown circumstances, had more than doubled in stability.
Most importantly, Chu Mu "saw" a star floating in the sky above his spiritual world, emitting a faint starlight. That star was the concentration of all his spiritual thoughts.
After sensing it carefully, Chu Mu could feel that the spiritual thoughts contained in that star were extremely tyrannical and terrifying.
The appearance of the star meant that Chu Mu had completed the first part of the cultivation of the Southern Dipper Mind Refining Scripture. (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.)
