Focusing on his cultivation, Chu Mu closed the door to his room. There was a sign on the door that read "No Visitors".
In the small room, Chu Mu sat cross-legged on his bed. The Sky Barren Sword Energy was circulating in his body again and again.
Above his Dantian, a faint yellow flame flickered and burned. It was the Earth Core Flame. Under the nourishment of the lotus seed that Chu Mu used, it gradually recovered its strength. It began to have a strong effect on the Sky Barren Sword Energy.
After the Sky Barren Sword Energy was refined to the limit, Chu Mu consumed a large amount of low-grade True Barren Pills and converted them into Sky Barren Sword Energy. This allowed his cultivation to break through and reach the Initial Stage of the Origin Realm. Afterwards, he continued to use the Earth Core Flame and low-grade True Barren Pills to refine it.
Finally, the Sky Barren Sword Energy in his meridians returned to his Dantian. As it rapidly expanded and contracted, the Sky Barren Sword Energy lake in his Dantian suddenly doubled in size.
His cultivation broke through again. Dacheng, Origin Realm!
Chu Mu was recovering his cultivation. He had reached the Initial Stage long ago. Rapid improvement would not leave any side effects.
In the past half a month, Chu Mu had been cultivating without a moment of rest. Now that his cultivation had recovered to the Origin Realm, Dacheng's strength had increased again. He decided to go out for a walk and relax. He would also go to the Exchange Office of the Outer Palace to take a look. Combining work and rest would be beneficial to his cultivation.
Just as he got out of bed, someone knocked on the door. The knocking wasn't small. It sounded like the door was about to be broken.
Chu Mu took a step forward and appeared behind the door. He opened the door and saw a person standing in front of him. The person was raising his bear-like palm and was about to slap down.
"What advice does this senior brother have?" Chu Mu opened his mouth and said neither quickly nor slowly.
With a glance, Chu Mu could tell that this person wasn't an Origin Realm swordsman. Judging from his clothes, he wasn't an Outer Palace disciple, an Inner Palace disciple, or a God Condensation Realm swordsman.
In the Heaven Barren Earth Palace, Outer Palace disciples would address Inner Palace disciples as Senior Brother. Since it was a general address, Chu Mu didn't reject it.
"You're finally willing to show yourself." The tall and sturdy man put down his hand and said. His voice was like a large bell, buzzing and sounding. His tone was not very friendly.
They had no choice. They had waited outside Chu Mu's door for three whole days, but there was no movement from Chu Mu.
Although Chu Mu was publicly acknowledged as the number one disciple of the outer palace, his strength, talent, and potential were all extremely shocking. Once he became an inner palace disciple, he would definitely be able to skyrocket in a short period of time and surpass everyone.
But now, he was just an Outer Palace Disciple after all. How could an Outer Palace Disciple make two veteran Inner Palace Disciples wait outside for three days?
Although Chu Mu didn't know anything about it.
Chu Mu glanced at the inner disciple before him in confusion. He could not be bothered with him and closed the door.
"Wait." The man shouted and slammed his bear paw on the door, causing it to creak as if it was about to shatter. The bull-eyed man glared at Chu Mu and shouted, "Chu Mu, although you're first in the Outer Palace Competition, you're still an Outer Palace disciple. How can you be so rude to an Inner Palace Senior Brother?"
"Senior Brother, what can I do for you?" Chu Mu said indifferently.
"Kid, listen up. I'm from the Hundred Swords Alliance. Today, I'm here on the orders of the Vice Alliance Master to borrow something from you." The bull-eyed man bowed slightly and pressured Chu Mu with his aura.
"Not lending." Chu Mu didn't even think and directly replied.
He had never heard of the Hundred Swords Alliance, but he knew that they wanted to borrow something. They must be envious and had their eyes on his rewards. They wanted to take it for themselves, but they used the excuse of "borrowing".
Once they borrowed something, they wouldn't be able to return it. How could Chu Mu lend it out? He needed everything.
"What did you say?" The bull-eyed man glared at Chu Mu, his saliva almost spraying onto Chu Mu's face. "Do you know that the Hundred Swords Alliance is one of the top forces in the Inner Palace? The previous Alliance Master is now a Senior Brother of the True Palace. The current Vice Alliance Master is also one of the top one hundred experts in the Inner Palace. Borrowing something from you is an honor for you. The Vice Alliance Master also promised that once you break through to the Divine Condensation Realm and become an Inner Palace disciple, you can immediately enter the Hundred Swords Alliance and enjoy the important training of the Hundred Swords Alliance.
The moment he opened his mouth, he made an empty promise. Chu Mu would not believe this. Even if it was true, he would not be interested.
Shaking his head, Chu Mu did not bother to speak. The bull-eyed man's face immediately darkened. Traces of anger gathered in his eyes. His gaze was sharp and cold, as if it wanted to pierce through Chu Mu's body and soul.
"One word, will you lend it to me or not?" The bull-eyed man's voice seemed to seep out from between his teeth. Because of his previous roar, it attracted the attention of many people. Seeing that it was an Inner Palace disciple and Chu Mu who seemed to be about to fight, they all became interested and came over to watch.
"No." Facing the other's threatening gaze and tone, Chu Mu refused without hesitation.
So what if he was an Inner Palace disciple and a Divine Condensation Realm swordsman?
Under his sword, he had killed several Divine Condensation Realm swordsmen. He had even killed experts at the level of Divine Condensation Realm Dacheng. What was there to be afraid of?
"No!" The bull-eyed man gritted his teeth as he repeated those two words. The anger in his eyes became even more intense. A terrifying aura condensed around him. Within his tall and muscular body, a force seemed to be about to explode. It felt as if a storm was about to come. The surrounding Outer Palace disciples felt the air condense, suffocating them as the pressure increased. They could not help but take a few steps back. Each and every one of them was shocked.
Chu Mu, who bore the brunt of it, did not change his expression. He had felt even more powerful auras before, let alone the aura of a mere Peak Initial Divine Condensation Realm swordsman.
"Chu Mu, don't think that you can be arrogant just because you got first place in the Outer Palace Tournament. Don't look down on your Inner Palace Senior Brothers." The bull-eyed man threatened, "Indeed, I do not dare to make a move here. But remember, either you stay in the Outer Palace obediently. Otherwise, when you break through to the Divine Condensation Realm and become an Inner Palace disciple, I, Niu Bao, will let you know how wrong you are today."
"Then you just wait." Chu Mu's lips curled into an evil smile. When he broke through to the Divine Condensation Realm, the Gold Ultimacy and the six Mind Stars would be unsealed. At that time, even Chu Mu himself could not be sure how powerful he would be.
However, when his cultivation was at the Peak Initial Realm, and his Sword Will and Ultimacy were both at the Mid Eighth Transformation Realm, he was able to kill Ming Luo. If he broke through to the Divine Condensation Realm, his Spiritual Will would be converted into Spiritual Will. Combined with the Sword Will and Gold Ultimacy at the Peak Eighth Transformation Realm, and the third level of the Sky Wasteland Sword Body, as well as the Earth Quake that he might have comprehended, killing a Divine Condensation Realm swordsman like Dacheng would be a piece of cake. A normal Complete Divine Condensation Realm swordsman would probably not be his opponent.
Niu Bao did not know that he was looking for trouble by making such a threat.
Staring angrily at Chu Mu again, Niu Bao felt helpless. This guy in front of him had shocking talent and was not easy to deal with. This was the Sky Wasteland Earth Palace, and he was the number one outer palace disciple. Everyone was watching, so he could not make a move directly. He felt very wronged.
At this moment, a young swordsman with a cold aura walked over. Wherever he passed, people automatically parted to make a path for him.
The surrounding air was also affected. The temperature seemed to have dropped slightly, as if the night was as cold as water.
Chu Mu and Niu Bao also felt the change in aura. When they looked over, Niu Bao was first stunned, then his eyes widened. He thought that he was hallucinating.
"Huo … Huo Lingguang …" Niu Bao's tone was not as sharp. He was obviously shocked.
"Huo Lingguang …" Chu Mu also heard it, but he was not familiar with inner palace disciples.
Huo Lingguang's eyes were like water, but a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes. It was sharp and threatening, landing on Chu Mu's face. Step by step, Chu Mu seemed to see a crescent moon rise behind Huo Lingguang's back. Huo Lingguang's entire person seemed to be standing under the crescent moon in the dark night, aloof from the world.
An expert, an absolute expert.
Chu Mu felt as if he had been pulled into the other party's world.
In an instant, that feeling disappeared.
"My name is Huo Lingguang. Chu Mu, I hope that you will give me the opportunity to enter the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm." Huo Lingguang walked in front of Chu Mu and spoke very directly. His voice was as cold as water, causing Niu Bao to involuntarily shiver and have goosebumps.
"I have a use for it." Chu Mu directly replied.
Huo Lingguang did not say anything else. He just looked at Chu Mu. His eyes were not sharp, but they were as cold as water and moonlight. It was even more unbearable than sharpness.
However, Chu Mu continued to look at him.
About ten breaths later, Chu Mu's eyes did not evade. Huo Lingguang retracted his gaze, and without looking at Niu Bao, he turned and left, leaving behind a cold back view.
"You are finished." The moment Huo Lingguang left, Niu Bao looked at Chu Mu with a pitiful gaze, as if Chu Mu was suffering from an incurable disease and was on the verge of death. "Don't think that I am exaggerating. This is the first time you have heard of the name Huo Lingguang, right? But in the inner palace, his name resounds like thunder."
It was as if he wanted to see Chu Mu's frightened or regretful expression.
"The outer palace has a hundred year tournament, and the inner palace also has a hundred year tournament. Furthermore, it just ended yesterday." Niu Bao continued, "Huo Lingguang is ranked thirty-first. Do you know how many inner palace disciples there are? Let me tell you, the number of inner palace disciples far exceeds the number of outer palace disciples. There are more than fifty thousand of them. Moreover, Huo Lingguang's strength is enough to make it into the top thirty. However, due to his heavy injuries, his performance was affected, and he was ranked thirty-first. "
Chu Mu's face only showed some surprise.
"Moreover, Huo Lingguang is from the Seven Sword Tower, the number one power in the inner palace. The head of the Seven Sword Tower is the champion of the inner palace's hundred year tournament. Rejecting Huo Lingguang's deal means offending him, and offending him means offending the Seven Sword Tower. You had better stay in the outer palace." After Niu Bao finished, there was no trace of fear on Chu Mu's face. Instead, there was a fearless expression.
Niu Bao was furious, but he could not do anything. He glared at Chu Mu, snorted angrily, and turned to leave.
"Seven Sword Tower …" Chu Mu muttered and smiled. "With such an expert, I won't be lonely when I reach the God Concentration Realm."
