One on one!
At this time, Chu Mu was relying on his incomparably tenacious willpower.
The stinging pain from the wound on his back constantly assaulted his entire body. Chu Mu held a sword in each hand as he faced off against the remaining sword puppet.
The powerful Sword Puppet's powerful and imposing aura wantonly wantonly condensed into one that charged towards Chu Mu. It was as if ten thousand swords were hurtling towards him, causing Chu Mu's protective sword aura to shatter. The long robe on his body was sliced open, causing him to cut a very sorry figure.
There were also several small wounds on his face, blood seeping out.
However, Chu Mu's expression did not change. He did not move at all. His eyes flashed as he stared at the sword puppet opposite him. The strength in his body was slowly recovering.
The sword puppet moved. It turned into an afterimage and surpassed Chu Mu's line of sight. It attacked with a sword.
This sword strike was like wind, water, fire, and thunder ….
Chu Mu's heart trembled. His two swords transformed into a coiling dragon and a fierce tiger.
The two figures collided in an instant and then crossed each other. Chu Mu's two swords instantly crossed. One was forward, one was backward, one was up, and one was down. Two obscure Sword Light crossed each other.
The moment the two swords attacked, Chu Mu used Deep Penetration.
These two swords entered Deep Penetration and used up all of Chu Mu's remaining strength in one fell swoop. A feeling of weakness and emptiness instantly enveloped his body. Chu Mu had no choice but to use his sword to support his body.
His breathing was disordered, his head was dizzy, and the scene in front of him was somewhat blurry. If the sword puppet attacked again at this time, Chu Mu would be in danger.
However, the sword puppet did not move. It maintained its posture of stabbing out with its sword. Two sword marks appeared on its body, forming a cross and passing through its body.
In the next breath, the sword puppet's body swayed and fell, splitting into four pieces.
"He passed …"
"Chu Mu really passed the last stage of the sword puppet formation …"
The spectating swordsmen cried out in surprise. They were filled with disbelief, shock, and excitement.
Chu Mu was still recovering his strength in the Decagon Sword Array. The Decagon Sword Array automatically recovered, and Chu Mu was surprised to find that a ball of light had appeared in front of him, emitting a mysterious fluctuation.
Chu Mu grabbed the ball of light and pressed it against his forehead. Instantly, a stream of information flowed from the ball of light into Chu Mu's forehead.
"Sword Formation Basics …"
After the transmission of the information in the ball of light was completed, it disappeared again. Chu Mu stood in the middle of the sword array, recovering his strength while closing his eyes to read the information in his mind.
The foundation of the sword formation was also the basic sword formation. It included the arrangement method, principle, composition, operation, transformation, and other profoundness of the Yin-Yang Sword Formation to the Ten-Direction Sword Formation.
Chu Mu only gave it a cursory glance and immediately understood that the foundation of this sword formation contained a complete basic sword formation, starting from the Yin-Yang Sword Formation, followed by the Tripartite Sword Formation, the Four Symbols Sword Formation, and finally the Ten Directions Sword Formation.
There was a lot of content in the sword formation, and it contained a lot of profoundness. It required a lot of time to comprehend it, and now was not a good time.
After recovering some of his strength, Chu Mu put away his two swords and left the Ten Directions Sword Array with a thought.
According to Instructor Ji Tianxiang, he was the third disciple since the establishment of the Sky Edge Sword Palace to pass the last stage of the puppet sword formation, the Ten Directions Sword Array. He would be recorded in the Sword Palace's history.
The swordsmen automatically made way for Chu Mu, and all of them paid respect to Chu Mu with deep reverence in their eyes.
At this moment, Chu Mu had completely conquered them. The image of Sikong Zhan in the swordsmen's hearts was completely shattered, and was replaced by an even larger and more condensed image. It was Chu Mu.
The number one official disciple of the Sky Edge Sword Palace, the well-deserved number one!
What?
You still want to say that Chu Mu is inferior to Sikong Zhan?
How is that possible? Chu Mu can pass the last stage of the puppet sword formation, but can Sikong Zhan pass it?
If Sikong Zhan could pass it, he would have done it long ago. Even Sikong Zhan, who had become an elite disciple, might not be able to raise his strength to the point where he could pass the ninth stage of the puppet sword formation in just over a month.
At this point, Chu Mu's position in the hearts of the official disciples of the Sky Edge Sword Palace was unparalleled, unless there was someone else who could pass the ninth stage of the puppet sword formation.
Soon, the news of Chu Mu passing the ninth stage of the puppet sword formation spread out. Every instructor knew about it, and Instructor Ji Tianxiang was grinning from ear to ear the entire day.
"Good kid, you really did not disappoint me."
…
After some time, Chu Mu carefully read through the basics of the sword formation. Because he had passed the puppet sword formation a few times before, he had some understanding of the Duality Sword Formation to the Nine Revolutions Sword Formation. He had already surpassed the superficial level and reached the beginner level.
As a result, Chu Mu naturally gained various comprehensions from the bottom of his heart as he read it carefully. His understanding of the various sword formations deepened by a bit.
However, sword formations were still sword formations in the end. They were broad and profound, and it was not easy to completely comprehend them. It often required extremely high comprehension ability and a long period of research and comprehension. Those with insufficient comprehension ability would not be able to comprehend the beginner level no matter how much time they spent.
Chu Mu carefully read it a few more times. He savored it one by one and understood it word by word. After that, he put it together and understood it as a whole. Immediately, his understanding of the various basic sword formations deepened again.
"Although it is only the basics of the sword formation, it contains various mysteries. It will take at least a few years to completely comprehend it, so a day or two won't make much of a difference. I'll first recover the energy I used to pass the sword formation, and then I'll apply for the Sword Exalt test." Chu Mu said slowly as he slowly exhaled. Strands of white filth shot into the sky like swords, only dispersing a dozen meters away.
Closing his eyes, the world disappeared and fell into darkness. All distracting thoughts were obliterated in the darkness and turned into nothingness.
In less than three breaths of time, Chu Mu entered a meditative state. The consciousness star in his spiritual world was dim and lightless. This was because his spiritual consciousness had been overused when he passed the Sword Formation of Ten Directions.
The Southern Dipper Mind Refining Scripture operated the Heavenly Mansion Stars chapter. There seemed to be a faint light flickering in the dim consciousness star. As time passed and the cultivation method operated, the faint light gradually grew stronger.
Gradually, the starlight flickered and became bright. The consumed spiritual consciousness was also rapidly recovering.
A few hours later, the consciousness star in his spiritual world shone brightly. It was like a real star hanging high in the sky. His spiritual consciousness had been completely restored.
Ordinary swordsmen would often fall into a coma once their spiritual consciousness was overused. They would only wake up when their spiritual consciousness naturally recovered a little. However, Chu Mu was different. He cultivated the Southern Dipper Mind Refining Scripture.
The Southern Dipper Mind Refining Scripture had a total of six chapters. Chu Mu had cultivated the first chapter and condensed a consciousness star, concentrating all his thoughts. After that, the potential of his spiritual consciousness was constantly developed. The most primitive spiritual consciousness that had not been tempered began to exist in his spiritual world. Although this spiritual consciousness was not pure enough and its strength was very low, it was enough to keep Chu Mu awake.
When his spiritual consciousness recovered to its peak, Chu Mu began to operate the Heavenly Desolate Sword Scripture to restore the Heavenly Desolate Sword Origin. As for his physical strength, it naturally recovered in the process of restoring his spiritual consciousness.
The consumption this time was too great. It was not until the next morning that he completely recovered.
After recovering, Chu Mu felt refreshed again. There was a feeling of being reborn after being broken.
On the first floor of the Sword Tower, Chu Mu practiced a few rounds of swordsmanship. After stretching his muscles and bones, he left the Sword Tower and went to the residence of Instructor Ji Tianxiang.
… …
Ji Tianxiang rubbed his chin with his index finger and thumb as he walked around Chu Mu. His narrowed eyes were filled with a sharp light as they fell on Chu Mu. It was as if he wanted to see through Chu Mu. From time to time, a clicking sound came from his mouth. No matter how one looked at him, he looked like a wretched uncle.
"Good boy … Good boy …" Ji Tianxiang finally stopped walking. He stood in front of Chu Mu and sighed repeatedly.
The Immemorial World was full of outstanding people. There were countless geniuses and experts. However, he had never seen or heard of someone like Chu Mu, who was improving rapidly almost every moment.
"Your Sword Intent and Profundity have probably already been tempered to the fourth revolution, right?" Ji Tianxiang exclaimed in admiration as he said, "Half a year. In merely half a year, your sword intent and profound power have been refined to the fourth revolution. It's unimaginable."
Thinking back, it took him an entire ten years to refine from perfection to the fourth revolution. That speed could be considered to be above average. However, after reaching the fourth revolution, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to improve because it was already the limit of what his soul could endure.
"I estimate that with the strength of your soul, it's enough to refine your sword intent and profound power to the fifth or even sixth revolution." Ji Tianxiang exclaimed in admiration again, "Once it's refined to the sixth revolution, you'll be a peak existence among the elite disciples."
Chu Mu did not speak, but his heart shook when he heard Ji Tianxiang's words. In other words, there were swordsmen who had refined their sword intent and profound to the sixth revolution among the elite disciples. However, there shouldn't be many of them. As for whether there were swordsmen who had refined their sword intent and profound to the seventh revolution, that was unknown.
"Instructor, I would like to apply for the Venerable Sword Examination." Chu Mu said after a thought.
"There are only two days left until the time set by the head instructor. It's indeed time for you to take the Venerable Sword Examination." Ji Tianxiang nodded his head. He already knew why Chu Mu had come, "The Sword Sovereign exam isn't hard with your current strength. However, you still have to be careful because there may be some accidents. This is something every sword practitioner can't avoid during the exam."
Chu Mu did not know if the Venerable Sword Examination in the Immemorial World was the same as the one in the Ancient Sword Continent.
If it was just the Ancient Sword Continent's examination method, he was confident that he could pass easily.
"Follow me, I'll give you a simple explanation of the Venerable Sword Examination method." Ji Tianxiang said as he led Chu Mu out of the Sword Tower and towards the Venerable Sword Examination location.
As one of the three major human factions in the Zilin Continent, the Sky Edge Sword Palace naturally had the qualifications to take the Venerable Sword Examination.
Not long after, Chu Mu followed Ji Tianxiang to the Mission Hall of the Sky Edge Sword Palace's official disciple area. Under Chu Mu's astonishment, Ji Tianxiang led Chu Mu deeper into the hall and pushed open a closed door.
