(Today is the 3rd of October. On the 6th, Little Six is getting engaged.)
The challenges of the outer palace disciples were in full swing. They happened all the time.
Winning or losing didn't have much effect on Chu Mu's daily life. Although he had almost always won and rarely lost since his debut, it was still a relatively fresh experience. It caused his mental state to quietly change a little, making it smoother and more natural.
He used his contribution points to exchange for dozens of jade pendants. Every day, other than his normal cultivation, he would set up seals on the jade pendants and do his best to make preparations.
As for the centennial outer palace disciple competition, Chu Mu put it aside for the time being. As long as he could pass the first stage, he didn't care how many Scarlet Desolate Stars he had.
There were even a few times when Chu Mu refused a challenge because he was in a hurry. He took out a Scarlet Desolate Star and gave it to his opponent. This caused the number of Scarlet Desolate Stars he had to drop from three digits to two digits.
In the eyes of others, this was unacceptable. Even if he lost, he had to accept the challenge and not give up the Scarlet Desolate Stars. They didn't understand Chu Mu's state of mind.
He had to be willing to give up. Only by giving up could he gain something.
By giving up the Scarlet Desolate Stars and avoiding unnecessary challenges, he had gained time to make more preparations.
A person's goal must be clear. Once he was blinded, he would be caught off guard and waste time. In the end, there would be terrible consequences.
Chu Mu was very clear about his goal. Therefore, he completely ignored the opinions and discussions of others. He only followed his own goal. If there were any problems that went against his goal, he would avoid them. If he couldn't avoid them, he would defeat them.
Another month had passed, and Chu Mu only had fifty Scarlet Desolate Stars left. Dozens of jade plates had all been set up with powerful defensive seals. His Ice Soul Frost Technique had improved, and his sword energy had also become much purer. He only lacked True Desolate Pills, so he had barely reached the initial stage of the Origin Realm.
There were still eight months before the first stage of the centennial outer palace disciple competition ended. There were still four months before the Godseal Blood Curse on his sword intent was completely removed. Before entering the second stage, he should be able to unseal his sword intent.
Before leaving, Chu Mu went to the exchange office and spent five thousand contribution points to exchange for a one-time use ice type secret treasure, the Ice Shield.
After everything was ready, Chu Mu once again left the Desolate God Mountain.
He still went to the Fire Valley.
Because of the Desolate Fire Qi of the Earth Core had not appeared in the past few months, the Fire Qi of the Earth Core Fire Valley. This caused the number of swordsmen who entered the valley.
Even if there were swordsmen who entered, they only wanted to try their luck and see what was going on, or find some Desolate Fire type spirit herbs. As for those who were searching for the damaged Earth's Core Desolate Flame, they had basically given up.
Although the Earth's Core Desolate Fire Valley was not very big, the environment was really too harsh. It was simply impossible to stay here for a long time.
Sword King level swordsmen could enter and leave as they pleased, but the Earth's Core Barren Flame was not very attractive to them. To them, instead of spending their time searching for the Earth's Core Barren Flame, it was better for them to train in higher level danger zones. Who knows, they might be able to reap greater rewards.
When Chu Mu entered the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley, he did not see a single person. As a result, the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley had a desolate feeling.
Ignoring it, Chu Mu slowly circulated the Ice Spirit Power in his meridians. It released a cold aura that spread throughout his body, preventing the high temperature from entering his body. It could not even stay on the surface of his body, so Chu Mu was not affected by the temperature.
With ease and familiarity, Chu Mu rapidly went deeper. Very quickly, Chu Mu was seven hundred miles deep. He took out a flawless quality Ice Spirit Pill and ate it. Once again, he found the entrance to the flame cave from last time and went in. Not long after, he arrived at the belly of the cave.
The temperature was very high. Even the cave walls were like red-hot iron. It was bright red, making Chu Mu feel his skin burning. It was as if his entire body was near a raging inferno. The terrifying heat that could roast a normal swordsman to death constantly drilled into his skin and into his blood, bones, and organs.
The Ice Spirit Power of the Ice Spirit Frost Technique could not completely stop the heat. It could only work together with the Flawless Ice Spirit Pill to weaken it.
Luckily, Chu Mu's cultivation had recovered to the Initial Origin Realm. The purity of the Sky Barren Sword Energy was above the Initial Success Stage. His resistance to the high temperature had increased greatly.
It was not as bad as last time. However, the high temperature still made Chu Mu uncomfortable.
Not minding it, Chu Mu focused on looking around. He discovered that there were a few messy footprints here. In other words, after he left last time, in these two months, a few more swordsmen came here. The number of people didn't exceed ten.
Before Chu Mu left last time, there were still some Earth Fire Lotuses in the lava pool. But now, there was not a single one. There was only a pool of lava that bubbled and burst from time to time.
Without the Earth Fire Lotuses, Chu Mu was a little disappointed. That thing was very valuable. It could be exchanged for a lot of contribution points. And contribution points were definitely great things.
The reason why his cultivation could recover so quickly and his strength increased greatly was directly related to the contribution points he had obtained.
He looked around carefully to see if there were any other valuable treasures. After a while, Chu Mu could only give up. He stared at the surface of the lava pool and pondered.
He felt that there must be more Flame Snakes in the lava pool.
The Flame Snake's Neidan was very good and valuable. If he could obtain it, he could use it or exchange for it. However, the Flame Snakes were not weak. If they were only low level Flame Snakes, he could still kill them. But if they were high level Flame Snakes, Chu Mu did not know if he could kill them.
It seemed that there was nothing to gain, so Chu Mu decided to leave.
Suddenly, an aura quickly approached. A figure flashed and another person appeared in the cave.
This person looked to be in his thirties. His eyes were sharp and his face was cold. His aura was very sharp. It was like sword Qi shooting into the sky, bringing a terrifying pressure to the surroundings.
"Inner Palace Disciple!" Chu Mu immediately recognized his identity from his aura and clothing. He was an Inner Palace Disciple of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, a Spirit Condensation Realm swordsman.
With the cultivation of a Spirit Condensation Realm swordsman, with a little preparation, it was not difficult for him to enter the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley. After Chu Mu had entered this cave for the first time, some people had entered it. Therefore, it was very normal for an Inner Palace Disciple to come here again.
This inner palace disciple's sharp gaze glanced at Chu Mu. He didn't care at all. In his eyes, a mere outer palace disciple wasn't one of the super geniuses he knew of. He wasn't worth paying attention to.
Although he was wary, Chu Mu did not show any hostility. He walked around the Inner Palace Disciple and was about to leave the cave.
"Stop. Hand over all the treasures you have. Seeing that we are both Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace Disciples, I will let you leave unharmed." Suddenly, a sharp shout came from behind him. Then, there was a gust of wind and a figure flashed. The Inner Palace Disciple appeared in front of Chu Mu, blocking the exit of the cave.
It seemed that the Inner Palace Disciple thought that Chu Mu had arrived here earlier than him and had obtained all the treasures. Of course, he could also be deliberately looking for trouble.
"I did not obtain any treasures." Chu Mu said simply.
"Hand over your Space Bracelet and let me check it." The Inner Palace Disciple was overbearing.
Chu Mu frowned. The Inner Palace Disciple's attitude was tough. How could he hand over his Space Bracelet? Moreover, what he had was not a Space Bracelet, but a Space Ring. There were too many valuable things in it. The Space Ring itself was enough to arouse the Inner Palace Disciple's greed.
"It seems that you do not intend to cooperate." Before Chu Mu could reply, the Inner Palace Disciple's face darkened and he said with slight anger.
In his opinion, an ordinary Outer Palace Disciple should curry favor with an Inner Palace Disciple like him. Even if he had the confidence, his attitude should not be like this.
Chu Mu was alerted. He used the Flying Swan Illusory Steps and quickly retreated to distance himself from the Inner Palace Disciple.
Just as he retreated a few meters, Chu Mu felt his Spiritual World tremble. He was directly attacked by an invisible force. It was the Inner Palace Disciple's Divine Sense.
Fortunately, the Inner Palace Disciple saw that Chu Mu was just an unknown Outer Palace Disciple and did not have the intention to kill him. Therefore, the Divine Sense was only a small part. Chu Mu's Spiritual Consciousness was greatly enhanced and his resistance to the Divine Sense was stronger. That was why he was not defeated.
However, he was also delayed for a moment. The Inner Palace Disciple flashed and appeared beside him. He reached out a hand to grab his wrist, intending to take off the Space Bracelet.
Chu Mu came to his senses and hurriedly dodged. His body was nimble, and in the blink of an eye, the Inner Palace Disciple's grab missed.
Seeing that Chu Mu had actually come to his senses after being attacked by the Inner Palace Disciple's Divine Sense and dodged his grab, the Inner Palace Disciple's face darkened. He became impatient and pointed his finger forward like a sword, piercing through the air.
No matter how weak a Divine Condensation Realm Swordsman was, he was still much stronger than most Origin Realm Swordsmen. The Inner Palace Disciple's Sword Finger pierced through the air at an extremely fast speed. It quickly enlarged in front of Chu Mu's eyes. It was at least twice as fast as Nie Yunjie's sword.
It was too fast. Chu Mu had no time to dodge at all. He only felt that his body could not keep up with the speed of his thoughts.
He only had time to draw his sword and place it in front of his chest, narrowly blocking the Inner Palace Disciple's Sword Finger.
With a clang, the Inner Palace Disciple's Sword Finger seemed to be made of metal. It collided with Chu Mu's Sword Finger, producing an ear-piercing sound. Under the terrifying impact, Chu Mu was uncontrollably sent flying backwards. His sword was violently trembling, and his wrist was numb. If it weren't for his firm will, his sword probably would have already flown out of his hand.
The attack of a Divine Condensation Realm Swordsman was terrifying after all. Not to mention, the Inner Palace Disciple was not an ordinary Divine Condensation Realm Swordsman. This attack contained a sliver of Divine Sense, which impacted Chu Mu's mind. He instantly felt dizzy and was sent flying backwards. What was even worse was that he was sent flying towards the lava pool.
Scorching heat engulfed his entire body. The moment Chu Mu came to his senses, he felt as if his back had been burned to ashes. His entire body sank into the lava pool and was swallowed by it.
