"Human, congratulations. You have passed the ninth stage." The old voice sounded out once again. Chu Mu, who had calmed down, instinctively caught the fluctuations in the tone of the voice. It was different from before. Now that he carefully thought about it, the reminder from the ninth stage was still a little stiff.
This time, he had truly passed the ninth stage.
Thinking back, Chu Mu could not help but feel a lingering fear.
The ninth stage was completely different from the previous eight stages. The previous eight stages were battles, battles that were constantly increasing in difficulty. At the ninth stage, it was darkness and solitude.
Ordinary darkness and solitude could not affect Chu Mu's mind. He was able to maintain his calm.
It was just that there was a strange undetectable power in the darkness. It subtly influenced Chu Mu's mind, causing him to be unknowingly affected. From the depths of his heart, he felt restless, uneasy and impatient.
Even if he constantly reminded himself to be calm, to control his emotions, to restrain the restlessness and impatience in his heart, it still accumulated bit by bit. It could not be eliminated, and finally exploded.
As for the ninth stage, he had grasped the opportunity very well. When his emotions had accumulated to the limit and were about to explode uncontrollably, a voice suddenly sounded out, informing him that he had successfully passed the ninth stage. That kind of joy was incomparable.
It was as if he was in a world of ice, so cold that he could not stand it and was about to freeze to death. He had accidentally found a burning bonfire and obtained warmth. It was also like a person who had been starving for many days and was about to faint from hunger suddenly seeing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. It was even more like a drowning person seeing rescuers, etc.
Under great despair, he had obtained hope. That moment of joy was enough to break down the defenses in his heart.
Chu Mu's tenacious will had been affected. If it was someone with a weaker will than him, they would not have been able to pass this stage.
The joy of being notified that he had passed, followed by the Divine Wilderness inheritance, was an even greater surprise. It had completely destroyed his last bit of reason.
If not for his powerful soul strength at the last moment, he would have felt that something was amiss. Following that, he would have discovered that there was no savage aura.
The murals in the Divine Desolate Heavenly Palace had a thick savage aura. Everything he had experienced before, no matter what it was, had a savage aura. Only when he obtained the inheritance did it not. He instinctively felt that it did not make sense.
This illogical feeling caused Chu Mu to regain his composure. After some thought, he finally understood.
He could not help but rejoice in his heart. It was fortunate that he came to his senses in time. Otherwise, if he had sat down, he might have failed the ninth stage.
After passing through one trial after another and experiencing all sorts of dangers, he had finally reached the final trial. If he were to fail just like that, who knew how much of a pity it would be.
Since he had passed the ninth round, it meant that he had passed all nine rounds. Next, it should be time to obtain the Divine wilderness inheritance.
He was still in the main hall of the Divine Wilderness Heavenly Palace. The huge and spacious palace was still so familiar.
"Human, tell me your name." It had been nearly seven years since Chu Mu had entered this place, and the Heavenly Spirit had always called Chu Mu a human. This was the first time it had asked for Chu Mu's name, which also meant that Chu Mu had obtained its approval.
"My name is Chu Mu." Chu Mu replied.
"Chu Mu, congratulations on passing the Divine Wilderness Heavenly Palace's nine trials. You are qualified to obtain the Divine Wilderness Heavenly Palace's inheritance." The Heavenly Spirit said, making Chu Mu feel joy from the bottom of his heart. "You have two choices. First, accept the inheritance in two thousand five hundred and sixty days. Second, accept the inheritance now."
"Two choices?" Chu Mu frowned as he pondered.
In his heart, there was an impulse for him to choose the second choice, to immediately accept the Divine Wilderness Heavenly Palace's inheritance. That was because his goal was right in front of him. If he did not accept the inheritance now, when would he?
But there was another voice that stopped him, telling him to choose the first choice.
Chu Mu did not immediately make a decision. He knew that one was intuition, and the other was impulse.
Thinking at high speed, Chu Mu made a prompt decision. He followed his intuition and abandoned impulse.
"The first choice." Chu Mu said.
The Heavenly Spirit did not answer, but it already knew Chu Mu's choice. Next, Chu Mu had two thousand five hundred and sixty days to continue cultivating.
Two thousand five hundred and sixty days was about seven years. Chu Mu believed that these seven years were enough for his strength and potential to increase further.
The refinement of profound meaning would definitely yield obvious results. In addition, the cultivation of the "Heart Sword Secret Manual" would also yield obvious results. The progress of his sword arts would definitely be good.
Chu Mu's cultivation, compared to other swordsmen, was much more complicated. He had to improve in every aspect, so the time he spent was much more than other swordsmen. Also, because cultivation was complicated and covered many aspects, not only did he have to put in more time, he also had to put in more effort.
A person's energy was limited, but cultivation was limitless.
If Chu Mu wholeheartedly and devoted all his time to sword arts, he would definitely have broken through the limit and reached the level of One with the Sword. However, this was not what he wanted. He wanted to improve and break through in all aspects.
It was fine even if it was slower.
Sword Dao was not about a moment, but a lifetime. Sword Dao was never-ending.
Two thousand five hundred and sixty days was almost seven years. Because he didn't need to continue breaking through, he didn't have any pressure in his heart and was much more relaxed. Chu Mu immediately immersed himself in cultivation. Deep level cultivation was even more effective.
The profound meaning of fire was constantly refined and improved. It broke through to the early eighth revolution, then the middle, then the late eighth revolution, and finally the limit. Finally, it broke through to the early ninth revolution …
Two years later, the profound meaning of fire had successfully reached the limit of the ninth revolution. The transformation of the Heart Sword Force was also partially completed. His sword arts attainment had increased, and his sword arts domain had also reached the middle tenth level. The Sky Desolation Sword Art was also constantly improving. Eighty out of the ninety-nine forms had been merged into one sword, and its power was even more tyrannical.
The fifth profound meaning was the profound meaning of earth. It had already reached the peak of the middle sixth revolution. With a little refinement, the profound meaning of earth would soon break through to the late sixth revolution.
In the fifth year of cultivation, the profound meaning of earth had reached the limit of the ninth revolution, becoming the fifth profound meaning to reach the limit. His sword arts attainment had also increased. Sky Desolation Sword Art's ninety-nine forms had been merged into one sword, and his sword arts domain had also broken through to the late tenth level.
Chu Mu chose the profound meaning of wind for the sixth profound meaning. This was the first power he comprehended, and it was also a power that had undergone many transformations. It was a power that Chu Mu had a deep understanding of.
The deeper one's understanding of a power, the higher the efficiency of refinement.
Naturally, the profound meaning of wind had also reached the early seventh revolution. If he started refining it now, it would also be refined to the limit of the ninth revolution faster.
In the sixth year, the Heart Sword Force had successfully completed its transformation.
With a tremble of his finger, an invisible power suddenly emerged and directly cut the surrounding air, forming a temporary vacuum.
Even without using the power of Divine Thought, Chu Mu could feel the sharpness of this power. It was very shocking, as if it was going to cut everything. Perhaps it was not as thick and majestic as sword origin, but in terms of sharpness, it was far superior to sword origin.
Since the Heart Sword Force had successfully completed its transformation, Chu Mu began to cultivate the third level of the Heart Sword Secret Record: Heart Sword Heaven Slash.
Heart Sword Heaven Slash was a direct attack move. According to the description, it seemed to be very powerful. However, it was still unknown how powerful it was. He would only know after he had mastered it and tried it.
In the seventh year, two thousand five hundred and sixty days had passed. The profound meaning of wind had reached the late ninth revolution. Chu Mu believed that if he was given a few more months, the profound meaning of wind would definitely reach the limit of the ninth revolution.
As for the Sky Desolation Sword Art, he had successfully merged all ninety-eight forms into one, and only the last form was left.
The last stage was often the most difficult one. In the field of swordsmanship, he had successfully broken through to the peak of the tenth level and was stuck at a bottleneck.
Everything seemed to be just one step away from a qualitative change in his voice, causing an earth-shattering change in his strength. Chu Mu was not in a hurry. He knew that the closer it was to this point, the more he had to remain calm.
Many swordsmen would be stuck at a bottleneck. It was possible for them to be stuck for months, years, or even decades. Some swordsmen were even stuck at a bottleneck and could not break through for the rest of their lives.
Chu Mu firmly believed that he would be able to break through. The only thing he lacked was time, because the things he needed to comprehend and cultivate were simply too many. They were too many and too complicated. They divided his energy and restrained each other, increasing the difficulty.
But once he broke through, his gains were astonishing.
"Chu Mu, your time is up. You can accept the inheritance of the Divine Desolate Heavenly Palace." The old voice of the Heavenly Spirit rang out once again, reminding Chu Mu.
The Heavenly Spirit's words immediately caused Chu Mu to become excited.
His heart raced as he took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down. In front of him, one of the walls of the Divine Desolate Heavenly Palace suddenly changed. A golden door appeared, emitting a rich desolate aura.
Following that, the door, which was not very tall, slowly opened. Chu Mu felt as if his heart had opened as well.
An even richer desolate aura was emitted from within. It whistled and spiraled like a storm, enveloping Chu Mu.
When the storm-like desolate aura dissipated, an entrance appeared in front of Chu Mu. Inside, there was a golden splendor, but there was no sense of magnificence. Instead, there was an endless vicissitude and desolation. The golden splendor seemed to rise and fall in the river of time.
Taking a step forward, he stepped through the door and saw a palace. It was a resplendent palace. It was almost the same as the one he saw in the ninth stage. The only difference was the aura. This was the true aura of the Divine Desolate.
Taking another deep breath, Chu Mu walked in. He stared straight at the center, where there was a lonely huge chair. The tall chair stood alone, as if it was waiting for the arrival of the king of the world.
Chu Mu knew that as long as he sat on that chair, he would be able to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Desolate Heavenly Palace.
