(When this chapter was updated, the banquet should have ended. I didn't see everyone's messages, but Little Six believes that there will definitely be people who wish the Six Dao well. Thank you for your blessings and support. Give me all your red packets.)
Ear-piercing cracking sounds rang out. Bawang alone was unable to defend against all the attacks. The cracks on the crystal sword stele continued to expand. It was in imminent danger.
Chu Mu increased his speed. He used the Profound Meaning of Space with all his might. He didn't hold back at all as he flashed forward. He waved his sword, and the sword rays were like a storm of meteors. They crazily bombarded the strong enemies below. At the same time, the knights also launched a fatal charge. They trampled on the ground, creating chaos.
However, these soldiers were all very strong. Their strength had all reached the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm. It was impossible for Chu Mu to kill a large number of them with one strike unless he broke through to the realm of One with the Sword.
Another cracking sound rang out. It was like a thunderclap. The cracks on the crystal sword stele ran from top to bottom. It was on the verge of shattering.
Chu Mu was anxious. He wanted to be faster, just a little faster.
Another wave of arrows shot towards the crystal sword stele like a swarm of locusts. Bawang flapped his wings and circled around, creating a storm that instantly shattered the arrows. The sword-shield soldiers and knights also launched an attack, surrounding the crystal sword stele. The situation was very critical.
With a boom, the power of the Heart Sword was flung out at high speed, breaking out of his body.
The second layer of the Heart Sword: Sword Heart's Shadow was used without holding back.
In an instant, Chu Mu felt a carefree feeling. It was as if some kind of shackle had been broken, opening the floodgates. It was an indescribable flood.
The Sword Heart's Shadow rushed out of Chu Mu's body and flew even faster. After a distance of ten meters, he appeared beside the crystal sword stele. Coincidentally, the cracks on the crystal sword stele continued to expand. With a cracking sound, pieces of the crystal sword stele fell down.
At this critical moment, Chu Mu's [Sword Heart Shadow] stepped into Dacheng's range. The [Sword Heart Shadow] could be ten meters away from the body. He took the lead and arrived at the crystal sword stele. Waving his two swords, he shattered another wave of arrows.
Chu Mu's original body also quickly arrived and stopped at the shattered crystal sword stele. He firmly guarded the sword spirit that was revealed and controlled Sword Heart's Shadow to kill enemies ten meters away. He cooperated with Bawang and continuously slashed out sword auras.
One hundred and twenty percent caution, one hundred and twenty percent focus, kill, kill, kill!
The number of monster soldiers gradually decreased, and the threat they posed to the Sword Spirit also decreased.
The last knight also died under Chu Mu's sword. Chu Mu let out a sigh of relief.
After passing the last wave, he had finally passed the eighth trial.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu let his guard down and a sudden change occurred. From the main general's corpse that Chu Mu had killed, a black ray of light shot out at high speed. In an instant, it broke through the air like a black lightning bolt that ripped apart the vast sky. With an indomitable and desperate aura, it shot towards the weak Sword Spirit like a hot knife through butter.
Fast, it was really too fast and too sudden. It was completely out of Chu Mu's expectations.
At the most critical moment, Chu Mu did not panic. He was very calm and reacted quickly. Everything around him was brought into his perception. The trajectory of the black light was also clearly visible.
Chu Mu's original body was too late to stop it. The Sword Heart's Shadow rushed towards the black light.
With a puchi sound, the Sword Heart's Shadow and the black light collided and dissipated. The black light became faintly discernible and its speed instantly decreased by a lot. Chu Mu's original body quickly chased after it. Brandishing his two swords, he displayed his strongest attack and shattered the black light.
This time, he did not dare to let out a sigh of relief. He stood guard beside the fragile Sword Spirit.
"Congratulations, human, for passing the eighth trial." The old voice of the Heavenly Spirit sounded. Only then did Chu Mu truly let out a sigh of relief.
"You have one thousand two hundred and eighty days to prepare for the ninth trial." The voice sounded and then fell into silence.
In this battle, Chu Mu could be considered to have done his best. Almost all of his strength was exhausted. He immediately sat down cross-legged to cultivate and recover.
There were still one thousand two hundred and eighty days before the start of the ninth trial. It was not a short time, a full three and a half years. He believed that during this period of time, his strength would be able to improve significantly.
Two days later, all of his exhausted strength had recovered to its peak.
There were three Heavens in the Heart Sword Secret Record. Now that he had cultivated the first and second Heavens, and Dacheng had cultivated the second Heavens, Chu Mu began to try to cultivate the third Heavens: Heart Sword Sky Slash.
The Heart Sword Force of the First Heavens, Sword Shadow Kill and the Second Heavens, Sword Heart's Shadow Image, did not possess direct killing power. However, it was different when it reached the third Heavens. The Heart Sword Force would undergo a qualitative change and become like Sword Origin, possessing direct killing power.
The prerequisite for cultivating the third Heavens of the Heart Sword was to let the Heart Sword Force undergo a transformation.
When he started to cultivate, Chu Mu knew that it would be very difficult to cultivate the third Heavens of the Heart Sword in a short period of time!
The transformation of the Heart Sword Force was slow and required a process. It would probably take a few years.
Even so, Chu Mu would not give up on cultivating the Heart Sword Force. In addition, the refining of Ultimacy and the cultivation of swordsmanship were the key points.
Three and a half years was not a short period of time, but it was also not a long period of time.
The Wood Ultimacy was continuously refined and reached the limit of the Ninth Revolution as he wished. It became the third Ultimacy to reach the limit of the Ninth Revolution. The fourth Ultimacy to be actively refined was the Fire Ultimacy.
The Fire Ultimacy had also reached the early Sixth Revolution under natural refinement. Many Ultimacies would delay the refinement efficiency. His Sword Intent had reached the limit of the Ninth Revolution. The Gold Ultimacy, Water Ultimacy, and Wood Ultimacy had all reached the limit of the Ninth Revolution. The Space Ultimacy was still at the late Third Revolution, while the other Ultimacies had all reached the early Sixth Revolution.
It should be known that many swordsmen would be lucky if their Sword Intent Ultimacy could reach the Sixth Revolution, let alone so many Sword Intent Ultimacy. Moreover, there was still the limit of the Ninth Revolution.
This kind of cultivation was dry and lonely, but Chu Mu was not tired of it. He could feel his progress every moment. Although it was not fast, it still made him happy from the bottom of his heart.
When the Fire Ultimacy had been refined from the early Sixth Revolution to the limit of the Seventh Revolution, one thousand two hundred and eighty days had passed.
"The ninth stage begins." The old voice reminded.
Chu Mu's surroundings changed again. It was as if he was in a dark void. Apart from darkness, there was nothing else.
Here, time seemed to be frozen. It did not flow, but Chu Mu felt as if a long time had passed.
Darkness and loneliness were often unbearable. After a long time, it would make people feel despair. This dark void seemed to contain a strange power that would slowly seep into the soul, affecting one's rationality and calmness.
Unknowingly, Chu Mu's mind was slightly affected. In a situation where he had nothing to fear, he gradually felt impatient and impatient.
Even Chu Mu didn't know about this imperceptible influence. He only reminded himself not to be impatient. However, the more he did this, the more the impatience in his heart continued to burn.
Suddenly, Chu Mu realized that this might be the ninth stage's test.
Darkness and loneliness were the test's content. They were the biggest enemies.
Realizing this, Chu Mu's anxious heart calmed down a little. As time passed, impatience reappeared in his heart. This time, it was even more stubborn.
Chu Mu felt very uncomfortable. A fire burned in his heart. His emotions became unstable. He held his breath. He wanted to vent, but he had no choice but to endure for fear of ruining it.
That feeling of not being able to vent, of having to hold it in, was simply maddening.
His breathing gradually became hurried. Chu Mu's palms exerted force from time to time. He wanted to pull out his sword and slash it to vent the impatience in his heart.
His hands were restless. He raised them up and down. Chu Mu was fighting with his heart.
Torment, incomparable torment. It was too unbearable. Chu Mu felt as if he was going crazy. If an enemy appeared in front of him, he would not be able to endure and would pull out his sword to kill.
The ninth stage was the last stage. If he failed here, it would be too much of a pity. No matter what, he had to persevere until he passed the ninth stage.
Unable to feel the passage of time, the anxiety in his heart grew stronger and stronger. It constantly accumulated, like a volcano constantly accumulating energy.
Finally, just as he was about to explode, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Congratulations, human. You have passed the ninth stage." A familiar old voice rang out. In an instant, it was as if a cool breeze had passed by, blowing away the impatience in Chu Mu's heart. Waves of joy and faint excitement filled his heart.
Passed. He had finally passed the ninth stage.
Next, it was time to obtain the inheritance.
Just as this thought arose, the surrounding darkness and snow quickly melted away. In front of Chu Mu was a palace. It was a resplendent and extremely gorgeous palace. The palace was not large. The four walls were engraved with countless patterns. In the middle, there was a huge throne. The resplendent throne was calling out to Chu Mu.
There was a voice in his heart that was calling out to him. By sitting on that throne, he would be able to obtain the Divine Wilderness' inheritance.
With his heart calling out to him, Chu Mu took a step forward and walked in front of the resplendent throne. He carefully sized it up. The patterns on the throne were detailed and lifelike. It looked extremely exquisite and dazzling.
The calling in his heart became more and more intense. Chu Mu gently placed his palm on the throne. A cold feeling spread to his palm, causing Chu Mu's body to quiver. His mind was jolted and he seemed to be more spirited.
The Divine Wilderness' inheritance!
This was the reason why Chu Mu had entered the Divine Wilderness Heavenly Palace.
Exhaling, Chu Mu's feet moved and he turned around. He was about to sit on the enormous golden and dazzling chair when he suddenly paused. In the depths of his soul, for some reason, there was a slight resistance.
"Why doesn't this throne have any aura of the Divine Wilderness?" With this thought, a second question followed.
"Why doesn't this palace have any aura of the Divine Wilderness?"
With these two questions popping up, the joy in Chu Mu's heart disappeared. He regained his calm and the bad feeling became even more intense.
With a thought, his thoughts became clear. All sorts of questions were answered. Chu Mu was enlightened. The ninth stage's examination was still in progress …
