This was Chu Mu's tenth day in the Heaven Wasteland Yard. Most of the time, he stayed in his room, refining the Great Desolate Sword Qi. He used his mind to break through the God-Sealing Blood Curse and studied the Heaven Wasteland Sword Manual to improve the Great Desolate Sword Qi Technique.
Currently, if Chu Mu wanted to train to the Qi Hai Realm, there were two ways. The first was to switch to the Desolate Type Sword Qi Technique, which was of a higher rank than the Great Desolate Sword Qi Technique. However, there was a drawback to switching to the Sword Qi Technique too frequently. It would cause the purity of the Sword Qi to decrease, and it would require more time to refine the Sword Qi to make up for it.
The second way was to improve the Great Desolate Sword Qi Technique so that it could reach the Qi Hai Realm and maintain the purity of the Sword Qi.
Between the two, Chu Mu chose the latter. He already had some ideas.
Chu Mu spent most of his time cultivating. Occasionally, he would go out for a walk and stroll around the Ten Thousand Desolation Giant City to make his trip worthwhile. He also went to the Alchemist Alliance and sealed up a set of alchemy notes. He asked someone to give it to Chen Qigu to repay his kindness.
The laws of the Ten Thousand Desolation Giant City were perfect. There were also Ten Thousand Desolation Sword Guards patrolling. Therefore, there were no conflicts.
But in the Heaven Wasteland Yard, there were many battles every day.
"Brother, do you want to come up and play?" Chu Mu had just returned to the Heaven Wasteland Yard. When he passed by a Sword Battle Arena, someone on the Sword Battle Arena shouted at him.
"No thanks." Chu Mu shook his head. This was not the first time, and the person who challenged him was the same person. It was the young swordsman riding the Armored Barbaric Elephant that he met on the road.
This guy was called Pei Wushou. It was a very strange name. He was a battle maniac. It was said that he fought all the way here. When he arrived at the Heaven Wasteland Yard, he did not choose his room. He directly jumped onto the Sword Battle Arena and defeated the two people who were fighting.
After that, he spent most of his time on the Sword Battle Arena, issuing challenges to others.
After ten days, Pei Wushou's name had already spread. He was known as one of the Four Absolutes of the Heaven Wasteland Yard.
One of the so-called Four Absolutes was Pei Wushou, while the other three were Wan Liufeng, Ji Yuning, and Long Xinyue.
No one knew where Pei Wushou came from, and he didn't seem to be from a prominent background. Wan Liufeng was the Third Young Master of the Wan Clan in the Great Desolation Colossal City. Ji Yuning was a member of the Ji Clan in the Great Desolation Colossal City. It was rumored that he was the son of the Patriarch of the Great Desolation Colossal City. However, because of his talent, he was highly valued. Long Xinyue was the Third Young Mistress of the Great Desolation Colossal City's Long Clan.
The Four Absolutes hadn't fought yet, so he didn't know their ranking. Pei Wushou wanted to fight, but the other three had the intention to avoid it.
The Heaven Wasteland Yard was very big, and many swordsmen stayed there. Some of them were there purely to take advantage of the situation. Other than the Four Greats, most of the others were not famous, and Chu Mu was one of them.
Of course, if he wanted to, he could sweep across the Heaven Wasteland Yard in an instant. No one could be his opponent.
Pei Wushou repeatedly invited him to battle, but Chu Mu repeatedly refused. It was not that he was afraid, but that he had seen Pei Wushou fight. His strength was indeed very strong, and could be considered a genius among geniuses. But in Chu Mu's eyes, he was still too inexperienced, and did not interest him at all.
But in the eyes of others, Chu Mu's repeated refusal was because he was afraid. There was immediately a group of people who mocked him.
"I'll make you fight," Pei Wushou muttered to himself as he looked at Chu Mu's back.
Time flashed by, and another two days passed.
A voice sounded, spreading throughout the Heaven Wasteland Yard, asking everyone to gather at the open space of the yard.
Excitement suddenly emerged from the bottom of their hearts. They knew that the hundred year election of the Heaven Wasteland Palace was finally about to begin.
In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone had left their rooms and gathered at the open space of the yard. There were tens of thousands of people densely packed together. It had to be said that although the Heaven Wasteland Domain was not very big, but there were many geniuses, and it was not simple at all.
In the air in front of the crowd, there was a figure floating, with his hands clasped behind his back. It was a middle-aged man in a yellow-brown robe. His face was dignified, and when his gaze swept across, it made people feel a heavy pressure.
This person was from the Heaven Wasteland Palace, and was in charge of the hundred year election of the Heaven Wasteland Giant City.
No matter how strong he was, just the name of the Heaven Wasteland Palace was full of mystery, and was enough to deter many people.
It was rumoured that the people of the Heaven Wasteland Palace would often only appear when the election began, so as to avoid being found in advance, and bribed to curry favour and so on.
"I won't say anything unnecessary. To enter the Heaven Wasteland Palace, you have to pass through three tests," the swordsman of the Heaven Wasteland Palace said in a clear voice. "Now, the first test will begin."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man's eyes shot out two yellow-brown rays of light, shooting out in a fan shape, sweeping across the area. When it swept across the area where Chu Mu was, the middle-aged man's gaze froze, and directly fell on Chu Mu's body.
Chu Mu felt that he was being stared at. That ray of light directly penetrated into his body, and covered his bones.
He immediately understood that this was a test for the age of his bones. The so-called age of his bones was the age of his bones.
A person's appearance was deceiving. Those who had cultivated or had taken special elixirs to cultivate special techniques would look young when they were seven or eight years old, but the age of their bones could not be faked.
Even if one's bones were cultivated to an extremely tyrannical level, the passage of time would still leave a unique mark on the bones. That kind of mark did not have the slightest harm, nor did it have any benefits. It was just a kind of proof of the passage of time.
Chu Mu knew that his actual age was definitely over thirty years old, and he could not help but feel a little nervous. At this time, a desolate aura seemed to come from nothingness, and instantly filled his body.
That was the power of the [Heaven Wasteland Sword Token], which pervaded the surface of his bones.
"Eh..." There was a cry of surprise. The middle-aged man took a deep look at Chu Mu. He felt a strange aura, very familiar, but also somewhat unfamiliar. He could not help but recall the saying that was circulated in the [Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace], and his heart trembled, and he almost exclaimed out loud.
He stared deeply at Chu Mu for a few more breaths, and then shifted his gaze to the others.
After a while, the middle-aged man retracted his gaze, but the excitement in his heart was still there.
"Those who are over thirty years old, stand out and leave." The middle-aged man said in a neither fast nor slow manner, and there was a kind of majesty in his tone. "Otherwise, you should have heard of the consequences of deceit."
Everyone looked at each other, and some people's faces changed. After hesitating for a while, the first person stepped out, followed by the second, the third...
"It seems that it is inevitable." Chu Mu sighed inwardly, and also walked out of the crowd. But he planned to find the people of the [Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace] again, and show them the [Heaven Wasteland Sword Token] to see if they could make an exception.
There were more than a thousand people who walked out of the crowd, and all of them did not look good.
It was hard to imagine that there were so many people who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
"I will only be thirty years old after today..." someone argued.
"Get out," the middle-aged man of the [Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace] said directly, and then pointed to Chu Mu. "You stay."
The thousand people who were about to resign themselves to fate and leave, were suddenly taken aback, and their gazes all fell on Chu Mu.
"This is not fair, why can we all be over thirty years old, but we have to leave, but he can stay." The screams represented the thoughts of many people present.
"Get out." The middle-aged swordsman of the [Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace] did not give any explanation, but his face was somewhat gloomy, and wisps of killing intent were emitted. The light all around seemed to be swallowed up, and the shadow of death emerged from the hearts of the thousand people.
They were certain that if they did not leave, they would be killed.
With a heart full of unwillingness and anger, these people left one after another, leaving Chu Mu as the center of attention. Other than the middle-aged swordsman of the [Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace], the others did not understand. Chu Mu had stood out, which meant that he was over thirty years old, so why was he allowed to stay?
Could it be that he was this person's illegitimate son?
Some people could not help but think maliciously.
Of course, they did not dare to say such things, otherwise they would definitely attract trouble.
Chu Mu vaguely had some guesses, but he was not completely sure. However, being able to stay at least meant that there was still hope.
In fact, whether or not he could enter the [Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace] was not important, but whether or not he could return. Right now, the hope of returning lay in the [Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace], so he had to fight for it.
The first test was to test bone age. After eliminating the thousand people who wanted to take advantage of the situation, it was time for the second test.
"This test is to test your attack power, which is the most important ability as a swordsman." The middle-aged swordsman said.
The sword was an attack weapon, and swordsmen focused on attack power. If their attack power was not enough, it would be difficult to compete with others.
The test for attack power was a common crystal pillar, ten meters tall, completely transparent, with a blue base.
There were a total of ten crystal pillars for attack power, and the participants were divided into ten groups. Everyone had three chances to take the test, and only by reaching the standard could they enjoy the third test. Otherwise, they would be eliminated.
"You don't have to take the test, directly pass the three tests." The middle-aged swordsman of the [Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace] said to Chu Mu.
This time, Chu Mu once again became the center of attention. However, this time, their gazes were filled with hostility.
Why did they have to take the test, but Chu Mu, who was over thirty years old, not only could stay, but also directly pass the second test, why? Listening to the words of the middle-aged swordsman, why did he directly pass the three tests? Why? Why?
Chu Mu's expression did not change, but he secretly smiled bitterly. This was the rhythm of being hated.
However, he did not care, and was more and more certain that it was related to the [Heaven Wasteland Sword Token]. If he did not take the test, then so be it, as long as he passed.
"The attack power test begins." The middle-aged swordsman said majestically.
Temporarily burying their resentment and hostility towards Chu Mu, the swordsmen began to walk forward in groups of ten, unsheathing their swords, and using their strongest attack, bombarding the crystal pillar.
Sounds rang out, and then, the blue base rushed up. At first, it was very fast, but then it quickly slowed down, and finally stopped at a scale …
