With such a bountiful harvest, Chu Mu's heart was abnormally full. His footsteps were faster and lighter than before as he climbed higher up the mountain.
However, at five thousand meters, he did not find any altar. As he continued to climb, at six thousand meters, he still did not find any altar. Along the way, he found quite a number of elixirs. They were very old, thousands of years old, even tens of thousands of years old. They were all picked by Chu Mu for safekeeping.
This mountain seemed to have no end. No matter how high he climbed, he was always enveloped in a layer of yellowish-brown clouds that became thicker and thicker.
Other than Chu Mu, Hou Qingming and company were also constantly climbing.
They did not realize that as they ascended, they were gradually getting closer.
Because the clouds were too thick, Chu Mu did not calculate how high he had ascended. He just kept walking and walking. If he found any treasures, he would immediately take them. If he encountered any desolate beasts, he would immediately attack and kill them with all his might.
Unknowingly, his eyes suddenly lit up. The clouds dispersed, revealing a vast expanse.
After taking a few more steps forward, he touched an invisible wall that blocked Chu Mu. Chu Mu reached out his hand and touched it. After careful observation, he realized that there was something like a seal in front of him that blocked him.
"What is this?"
"Is there no path?"
Not far away, a voice sounded. It was Hou Qingming and the other inner palace disciples. They were not far away and when they saw Chu Mu, they were immediately surprised.
Originally, they thought that a mere outer palace disciple moving alone in the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm would definitely die if he encountered a powerful desolate beast. They never imagined that they would meet Chu Mu here.
"This guy's luck is too good." They did not believe that Chu Mu had such great strength to be able to kill powerful desolate beasts all the way here.
One had to know that although the desolate beasts they encountered along the way were easily killed, many of them were powerful desolate beasts that could instantly kill a Divine Condensation Realm swordsman.
Chu Mu glanced at them. There were about sixteen of them. That was to say, the other fourteen people were either dead or had been sent out of the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm after failing the trial altar.
Luo Dahai was not among them. It seemed like he was one of the people who had been teleported out. Unfortunately, he probably did not gain much.
The others had no relationship with Chu Mu. Chu Mu ignored them and turned around to study the seal in front of him.
This was a high-tier seal. If not for the fact that Zhang Xuan had bumped into it, he would not have noticed it at all. It was fortunate that the seal did not actively attack him, or else he might have been killed or severely injured by that strike.
Since it was a seal, it would be easy to handle. Chu Mu's attainments in sealing had reached the level of a martial grandmaster.
The others also recognized that this was a seal. One of them had dabbled in seals and planned to study it. But when he saw Chu Mu pretending to study it, he sneered disdainfully.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Mu was still researching, but the others had already lost their patience. They didn't understand, they didn't understand at all. Even the inner court disciple who had dabbled in seals had to give up. The difference in their attainments was too great.
"Let's attack together and break the seal," one of them suggested.
"That's right. There must be a great treasure inside."
The suggestion of using force to break the seal was immediately approved. Chu Mu, who was studying the seal, also heard it. He gave up on retreating for the time being, leaving it to the others.
"I'll try first." You Ying said, directly pulling out his sword. In an instant, a tyrannical sword attack burst out, causing Chu Mu's eyelids to twitch.
Sword Skill!
What You Ying used was a sword skill, a true sword skill.
In other words, You Ying's attainments in controlling power had reached the level of One with the Sword.
There was a sharp screech as You Ying's sword light condensed into the shape of an eagle. Its claws were sharp, and it pounced forward, slashing at the seal and tearing at it with its sharp claws.
However, the seal did not budge at all, while You Ying's Sword Light dissipated instantly, turning into sword light.
If such a sword attack hit him, he would definitely be reduced to ashes. However, the seal did not budge at all. It was enough to show how powerful this seal was.
After some research, although Chu Mu still could not break the seal, he already knew that this seal was very powerful. It was extremely difficult to break it, and it was close to impossible.
Of course, if he had enough time, he might be able to break it.
"Let's attack the same point of the seal together," one of them suggested.
"Alright."
"Then let's attack."
All of them agreed. They knew You Ying's strength, and they also knew the power of that sword attack. They also saw the result.
The sixteen inner court disciples were about to attack together. Chu Mu immediately widened his eyes.
Each of their auras rose and condensed. Just the aura alone was enough to suffocate Chu Mu.
Then, Sword Light flashed, and the eagle soared into the sky again. There were also others like the setting of a waning moon, the sun in the sky, and the passing of a hurricane.
It seemed to be no different from the sword skills in the Ancient Sword Continent, but the power was thousands of times more powerful.
The control of the power in the realm of One with the Sword allowed the power of a casual sword attack to exceed the limit of the Warrior Realm. Sword Skills were the perfect combination of Sword Will, Sword Origin Ultimacy, and other powers. They could be released in a special way to form a more effective attack.
The difference between the sword skills in the realm of One with the Sword and those in the Ancient Sword Continent was like the difference between charcoal and diamond.
Each of the sixteen swordsmen had reached the realm of One with the Sword in terms of power control, which surprised Chu Mu again.
"Could it be that the top thirty inner court disciples have all reached the realm of One with the Sword?" Chu Mu could not help but think of Huo Lingguang. It was said that he was in the top thirty. Then, could his power control have also reached the realm of One with the Sword?
Among the sixteen people, Chu Mu focused on Hou Qingming because he was the most powerful one.
Hou Qingming's sword skills were not as powerful as the others, but Chu Mu could see that their power was more condensed.
The realm of One with the Sword also varied. The power of the sword skills also varied. It all depended on the individual's comprehension and talent.
Obviously, Hou Qingming was the most powerful one among them. A cyan sword light pierced through the void. It had the power to pierce through the heavens. Just by watching from the side, Chu Mu felt his heart skip a beat. It was as if his mind had been pierced.
Sixteen people, sixteen swords, and sixteen sword skills all struck the same spot on the seal. In an instant, ripples spread out from the seal, and the sword skills all dissipated, turning into countless sword lights, like a swarm of fireflies in the dark night, circling and dancing in the air.
After three breaths, the ripples on the seal disappeared. The seal was safe and sound. It was not damaged at all.
Not believing it, the sixteen inner court disciples attacked again. This time, the sword skills were even more powerful.
The ripples spread out and after four breaths, they disappeared.
After three consecutive attempts, the sixteen inner court disciples could not help but give up. The seal was too powerful. They could not shake it at all. Even if they used all their strength to attack the same spot, they could not do anything.
Seeing them give up, Chu Mu went forward again to study the seal.
"You're just pretending." Among the inner court disciples, Wang Zhonghai, who was involved in the seal, curled his lips and said disdainfully. His voice was neither loud nor soft. Chu Mu also heard it. He just glanced at Wang Zhonghai and ignored him.
Others were talking about others. He did his own thing.
"Let's think of other ways to break it." Hou Qingming said. Everyone began to think hard.
Chu Mu continued to study.
Time passed slowly. Everyone was not sure how long they had been in the Divine Barren Mysterious Realm. But based on their senses, it should be less than twenty days. There was still some time.
Chu Mu was completely immersed in studying the seal in front of him. Bit by bit, he was able to get a glimpse of it.
The more he researched, the more Chu Mu understood the power and profoundness of this seal. At the same time, it allowed him to fuse together the memories of the seal he inherited and use them for himself. His attainment in the path of seals began to clearly increase.
"Forget it. Since we can't break it, I will go to other places to take a look." Finally, one of the sixteen could not help but say.
"I will go with you."
"I don't want to stay here any longer. It is a waste of time. Why don't we go to other places to take a look. Maybe we will find something else."
"There is only one chance to enter the Divine Barren Mysterious Realm. If we miss it, there will be no more. Time is precious. We cannot waste it here."
Not long after, six people split into two groups and left the place, heading in different directions.
As for the remaining ten, they continued to study the seal.
After a while, two of them turned and left.
Gradually, there were only four people from the Seven Sword Tower left. The other one had failed in the trial altar and was sent out.
"Big Brother."
"Let's wait and see." Hou Qingming said. He was sure that there would be a great harvest after breaking the seal.
Chu Mu also knew that everyone had left. However, he was immersed in studying the seal and did not care.
The seal was a Dao of its own. It was broad and profound. Under Chu Mu's study, he felt as if he had entered an ocean of seals and was wandering in it.
This kind of seal was a compound seal. It was a compound seal of various systems. Mixed together in a mysterious way, it would greatly improve Chu Mu's attainment in the various systems of the Dao of Seals.
Unknowingly, Chu Mu's attainment in the various systems of the Dao of Seals had reached the Great Grandmaster level. He was an all-rounded Great Grandmaster.
Upon reaching this level, Zhang Xuan was able to gain a deeper understanding of the profundity of the seal.
Chu Mu began to attempt to break the seal. While breaking the seal, he would compare and verify little by little, increasing his attainments in seals.
"What is he doing? Is he trying to break the seal? " Hou Qingming and the others were shocked when they saw Chu Mu's actions. They immediately shook their heads. It was impossible.
As time passed, the seal in front of them suddenly rippled. It was like the surface of a lake that was blown by a strong wind. Then, it disappeared.
After the seal disappeared, a huge and majestic palace appeared before everyone's eyes. Before they could even react, they felt the palace in front of them fading and blurring before it finally disappeared …
