Having the Sands of Time was equivalent to having more time.
It had been eight months since Chu Mu returned to the outer palace of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace. Under the power of the Sands of Time, Chu Mu had already spent more than twenty years. His sword intent and ten profound meanings had all reached the limit of the Ninth Revolution. His cultivation talent had increased and his cultivation had also broken through, reaching the peak of the small success stage of the Divine Condensation Realm.
After reaching the Divine Condensation Realm, one could apply for the assessment to become an inner palace disciple. The treatment would be different from the outer palace disciples and the cultivation environment would be better. But Chu Mu was not in a hurry. To him, the difference between the outer palace and inner palace was not that big. The most important thing was his own potential and strength.
The Divine Wilderness Sword Body was based on the third level of the Heavenly Desolate Sword Body. Because it was only used to withstand the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence, it was not difficult to cultivate. It only consumed a bit more energy.
Luckily, Chu Mu had picked up a large number of desolate stones in the Divine Wilderness Mystic Realm, so the energy supply was sufficient.
In just half a month, Chu Mu had mastered the Divine Wilderness Sword Body. He only used the large amount of energy to make some slight changes and strengthen the Heavenly Desolate Sword Body.
The Divine Wilderness Sword Body and the Heavenly Desolate Sword Body complemented each other. Every time he mastered a level of the Heavenly Desolate Sword Body, he could cultivate the corresponding level of the Divine Wilderness Sword Body. Because the Heavenly Desolate Sword Essence would transform, the transformed Divine Wilderness Sword Essence would also transform. It would be more powerful and the erosion of the body would be more obvious. It required a stronger body to be able to withstand it.
After he finished cultivating the Divine Wilderness Sword Body, he began to cultivate the Divine Wilderness Sword Art.
The Divine Wilderness Sword Art was like a supplementary cultivation technique, but also like a secret technique. Its contents were very profound, but Chu Mu had already reached the basics and it was so solid that it made people tremble. Adding his monstrous level of perception, almost no one could compare to him.
Using three days, he carefully studied the Divine Wilderness Sword Art, comprehending the mysteries within one by one. Then, he began to cultivate.
As the saying goes, sharpening the blade will not delay the work of cutting wood. Only when the blade was sharpened enough would it be easy to cut wood. Chu Mu thoroughly comprehended the Divine Wilderness Sword Art and understood the mysteries within, so his cultivation was naturally smooth.
Including the time spent comprehending the Divine Desolate Sword Art, Chu Mu spent a total of fifteen days to successfully cultivate the Divine Desolate Sword Art. However, it was only at the initial stage.
Exhaling, Chu Mu prepared to try the Divine Desolate Sword Art.
Once activated, an incomparably pure Sky Desolate Sword Essence shot out from his dantian and began to condense according to the Divine Desolate Sword Art.
The surging Sky Wasteland Sword Essence in his meridians began to revolve in a spiral manner. Under the powerful axial force, it constantly condensed inwards. Its volume gradually shrank, its density constantly increased, and its color constantly deepened.
This required a process.
Chu Mu controlled the entire process with his Spiritual Sense. His consciousness could feel that the Sky Wasteland Sword Essence was undergoing a qualitative change. It was a transformation that originated from a deep level. A terrifying power was contained within. The originally yellowish-brown Sky Wasteland Sword Essence gradually deepened in color, becoming a dark brown color, and then turning black.
Sixty breaths later, Chu Mu felt that the Sky Wasteland Sword Essence had reached its limit. It could no longer condense and compress it any further. This was the final and most crucial step. As though he was going all out, Chu Mu's Spiritual Sense instantly increased by ten times. It was extremely compressed, and with a boom, the Sky Wasteland Sword Essence that had been condensed to the limit seemed to explode.
Chu Mu only felt that his consciousness was shaken. When he returned to normal in an instant, he saw a dark brown Sword Essence flowing in his meridians. It was ten times finer than the Sky Wasteland Sword Essence, and it did not seem to have much power.
With a shift of his consciousness, the dark brown Sword Essence was immediately transported, spreading to his arm, straight to his fingers. His index finger and middle finger were like a sword, slashing through the void, cutting towards the ground.
In order to prevent the person in seclusion from being disturbed by the outside world, a lot of thought was put into the construction of the seclusion chamber. The materials used were also very valuable. The hardness and toughness had reached a certain level, and various seals had been strengthened.
Previously, Chu Mu had also made an attempt. With a slash of his sword, with fifty percent of its power, he wanted to see if it could destroy the seclusion chamber. In the end, it was not damaged at all.
Now, about ten percent of the Divine Desolate Sword Essence had been condensed into a sword finger. The air was silently sliced apart. The dark brown Sword Essence, condensed like a strand of hair, was like a long whip that lashed against the wall of the seclusion chamber, making a puchi sound.
In just a breath's time, the dark brown Divine Desolate Sword Essence shattered, turning into specks of light that drifted away. On the wall of the seclusion chamber, a scratch silently appeared. One of the seals had actually been eroded and disappeared. Even the tough and tough wall had a fine mark on it.
Compared to other Sword Essences, the Sky Wasteland Sword Essence's specialty was its erosion, but the effect was not obvious. After being condensed into the Divine Desolate Sword Essence, this specialty was strengthened by tens or hundreds of times. It was extremely terrifying, and even the walls of the seclusion chamber could not withstand it and were directly destroyed.
However, the time it took to use the Divine Desolate Sword Art was slightly longer. In a battle that lasted for a moment, every breath of time was extremely precious. Sixty breaths of time had greatly reduced the practicality of this cultivation technique.
However, the time could be shortened, because Chu Mu was only at the initial stage of mastering it.
To cultivate the Divine Desolate Sword Art from scratch, one had to rely on a high level of perception. But after the initial stage of mastering it, one needed to have enough patience. One had to slowly grind it down, slowly cultivate it, and use it many times to increase one's proficiency. Only then would it gradually increase the efficiency and shorten the time.
With a thought, the dark brown Divine Desolate Sword Essence immediately spiraled backwards and dispersed. Its color quickly faded, as though it was being diluted in water, and returned to the Sky Wasteland Sword Essence. After checking, he realized that the sword finger test had consumed some of the Sky Wasteland Sword Essence.
"The Divine Desolate Sword Art should be a trump card that should not be used easily." Chu Mu thought to himself.
Not only did the Divine Desolate Sword Art require time to be used, using the Divine Desolate Sword Essence to attack also consumed a hundred times more than the Sky Wasteland Sword Essence. It could not be sustained in battle.
Now that Chu Mu had been in seclusion for nine months, he had already mastered the Divine Desolate Sword Art and the Divine Desolate Sword Body. Next, he had planned to cultivate the Divine Desolate Sword Seed Art. Unfortunately, the Divine Desolate Sword Seed Art was not something that could be cultivated as he wished. It required the Divine Desolate Sword Essence and the Divine Desolate Sword Body. Chu Mu already had these two points, but he was still lacking in the third point, which was materials.
The materials required for the Divine Desolate Sword Seed Art's sword embryo were extremely precious and rare. It required a total of ninety-nine types of materials. After Chu Mu counted them, he realized that he only had fifty of them. Among the ninety-nine types of materials, the value of these fifty materials was considered relatively low.
He had to gather the other forty-nine types of even more precious materials before he could begin cultivating the Divine Desolate Sword Seed Art. According to the current situation, this cultivation plan could only be temporarily shelved.
Since he could not cultivate the Divine Desolate Sword Seed Art, he naturally could not cultivate the Divine Soldier Massacre mystic technique.
As for the rest, Chu Mu shifted his target to another mystic technique: Sword Soul Separation Technique!
The purpose of cultivating this mystic technique was to split the Sword Soul into two and form two great Sword Souls. At the beginning, he could not feel any benefits, but later on, he would understand the benefits of having two great Sword Souls.
Chu Mu began to spend time to carefully comprehend this mystic technique.
In terms of difficulty, the Sword Soul Separation Technique was not as difficult as the Divine Desolate Sword Art. In two days, Chu Mu had completely comprehended it. However, he frowned because in terms of difficulty, the Sword Soul Separation Technique was several times harder than the Divine Desolate Sword Art.
Sword Soul Separation Technique, Sword Soul Separation Technique, as the name implied, was to split the Sword Soul into two. This was an extremely dangerous action and also very painful. If one was not careful, it could cause the Sword Soul to collapse.
The Sword Soul was extremely important to a Divine Condensation Realm swordsman. Once it collapsed, the Divine Condensation Realm swordsman's foundation would be damaged and it would be difficult to recover.
Even if it was painful and dangerous, Chu Mu still decided to cultivate the Sword Soul Separation Technique.
Pain?
Ever since he started cultivating the sword, he had suffered a lot of pain. One more was nothing.
Damaged foundation?
This was also nothing. If he wanted to gain something, he had to bear the corresponding danger. There was no free lunch in this world. The principle was the same. The greater the gain, the greater the price.
As a swordsman, he had to have such a mentality. He had to bear every challenge and use his own sharpness to cut through all obstacles.
After he finished comprehending, he began cultivating. He focused all of his mind and raised it. He used all of his Divine Sense to extract the peak Nine Revolutions Sword Intent from the Sword Soul.
The golden Sword Intent emitted an endless sharpness. When it was extracted from the Sword Soul, it was like a divine sword being unsheathed. The sound of the sword rang out and reverberated in his Spiritual World.
That sharpness made Chu Mu feel a chill.
The Divine Sense turned into a palm and grabbed the peak Nine Revolutions Sword Intent by the hilt. As if he was holding a sword, he began to wave it.
The Sword Soul was right in front of him.
The cultivation of the Sword Soul Separation Technique was a bit violent. It was to use one's own Sword Intent to cooperate with the Divine Sense to turn into a peerless divine sword and cut the Sword Soul in half with one strike.
One sword strike. Only one sword strike could split the Sword Soul into two. Otherwise, the Sword Soul would be damaged.
Focus. This strike could not be careless. Chu Mu brought out all of his swordsmanship attainments and slashed out with his sword. It was wonderful.
This was the peak of the sword. It contained everything. It was an indomitable sword. It was a sword of the strongest belief. Even if it was heaven and earth, it would be cut apart.
With one strike, the extremely sharp Sword Intent immediately cut the hard Sword Soul in half. In an instant, it was cut in a straight line from top to bottom.
For a moment, Chu Mu felt as if his head had been cut open. He almost fainted.
His tenacious will allowed him to hold on. He quickly wrapped the two halves of the Sword Soul with his Divine Sense and began to condense them.
While enduring the pain of his head being cut open, he also had to concentrate on controlling the Divine Sense to condense a new Sword Soul.
Not long after, two new Sword Souls were condensed. Compared to the previous Sword Souls, they were about half the size and their power was reduced by half. This was something that could not be helped. He could only slowly cultivate to recover. Next, it was the Sword Intent. He had to separate the Sword Intent and merge it into the two Sword Souls.
