In his Spiritual World, the peak Ninth Revolution sword intent was divided into two equal halves and entered the Sword Soul that was also divided into two halves, merging into one.
The two halves of the sword intent were also at the peak Ninth Revolution, so their purity was not affected, but the quantity was reduced by half. It would take a period of time to cultivate slowly to recover. The same was true for the Sword Soul.
When the sword intent entered the Sword Soul and merged into one, the two sides fed back to each other and the speed of recovery increased.
If possible, it was best not to use the sword intent before it recovered to its original state, so as not to affect the speed of recovery.
After mastering the Sword Soul Divide Technique, he spent a bit of time consolidating it and reflecting on his past cultivation. After organizing his thoughts and gains, he practiced his sword techniques before coming out of seclusion.
Ten months had passed, and there were eight mid-level Sand of Time left, one hundred and thirty-five low-level Sand of Time left, and thirteen high-level Sand of Time that had not been used yet.
By now, Chu Mu's cultivation had reached a certain level, and he was ready to apply for the assessment to become an inner disciple.
The application was not difficult, and it was easily achieved. There was nothing to be surprised about.
The assessment was also arranged immediately.
The so-called assessment was to verify whether one had really reached the Spirit Condensation Realm. Chu Mu had already achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation and the condensation of his Spiritual Force, so he immediately passed the assessment and became an inner disciple. His identity sword token also changed.
Chu Mu was the number one outer disciple, and his performance in the Outer Palace Centennial Competition was even more shocking, making many people remember him. After that, the Great Elder of the True Palace wanted to take him as a disciple, but Chu Mu refused. However, the Elders of the True Palace paid more attention to Chu Mu.
Under the instructions of some people, everything that Chu Mu did when he returned to the Heaven Wasteland Palace would be reported.
As a matter of fact, Chu Mu had just become an inner disciple, and before he was arranged a residence, he was immediately found by an inner disciple and asked to follow Chu Mu to the True Palace.
Chu Mu was a little confused, but he still headed for the True Palace. The inner palace elder who had led the way was really only there to lead the way. He left when he reached the main hall, and Chu Mu entered the main hall of the True Palace himself.
This was Chu Mu's second time entering the main hall of the True Palace. As soon as he entered, he immediately felt the change in atmosphere.
In this place, he couldn't raise any other thoughts in his heart, only solemn and a trace of vicissitudes of life. It was as if no distracting thoughts dared to emerge.
In the fog, Chu Mu saw that all eighteen elders were present, as well as the three palace masters. However, Chu Mu couldn't see their faces.
Standing in the great hall, compared to the enormous palace and the nineteen powerful Sword Saints, Chu Mu seemed so insignificant. However, his unyielding spirit towered over the heavens and earth. He stood proudly. Even if he was petty, he still had an inch of land under his feet. He stood tenaciously in front of everyone.
The three palace masters didn't speak, nor did the eighteen elders. They didn't even move, like nineteen statues. The aura that they naturally exuded mixed with the aura of the True Palace that had settled down over the years. It was as heavy as a mountain.
Ordinary inner disciples, even the number one inner disciple like Hou Qingming, wouldn't be able to stay here for long. They would probably collapse after sixty breaths of time, and would have to leave the main hall. Otherwise, it would leave a psychological shadow.
However, Chu Mu was different. Although the pressure of the True Palace was great, it was not enough to make him retreat. It must be known that the strength of his soul was more than ten times that of most Divine Condensation Realm swordsmen. His spiritual sense was also more than ten times that of those at the peak of the initial Divine Condensation Realm. His sword intent had reached the limit of the Ninth Revolution, and his ten profound meanings had all reached the limit of the Ninth Revolution as well. This greatly increased his resistance and tolerance to aura.
Unless it was a Sword Saint who directly released their aura to target Chu Mu, it would be impossible to shake Chu Mu's mind if they just released their aura naturally without any specific target.
It was like a competition of endurance. The nineteen Sword Saints didn't move, and neither did Chu Mu. They were in a stalemate. Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
This was not a long time, but it wasn't short at all when combined with the current environment.
"Chu Mu, do you know why I've summoned you?" The three palace masters finally spoke.
"I don't know." Chu Mu answered very honestly. He really didn't know, and was puzzled. However, he was able to keep his composure. If they wanted to wait, then so be it.
"Wait a little longer, and you'll know," the three palace masters said with a smile.
They continued to wait.
Indeed, a quarter of an hour later, in the empty seat next to the third palace master, a figure silently appeared. Chu Mu didn't even have time to react before the figure completely appeared. It was as if it had been sitting there from the beginning, but had just been ignored by others.
"Greetings to the second palace master." Immediately, the eighteen elders of the True Palace rose one after another and gave a slight sword salute to the figure that had just appeared.
"Second palace master!" Chu Mu was shocked.
Ever since he entered the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, he knew that there were three palace masters, but he had always been in contact with the third palace master. He didn't expect that the second palace master would also appear now. Combined with the words of the third palace master, the second palace master seemed to have come for him.
Thinking of this, although Chu Mu did not panic, he was even more puzzled.
What was it that made the second palace master summon him?
There was no need to think too much. Soon, he would know.
"Chu Mu, you have been to the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm, right?" The second palace master asked, his voice a little hoarse.
"Yes." Chu Mu's expression did not change as he directly answered. He had been to the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm, so of course he had. Together with Hou Qingming and the other thirty inner palace disciples, they were all upper echelons of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, so they all knew about it.
"I'm talking about your second time entering the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm." The moment the second palace master said this, Chu Mu's pupils trembled for a moment before returning to normal. However, the eighteen elders exclaimed in surprise.
It was common knowledge that everyone only had one chance to enter the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm, and it was only for a month. They had never heard of anyone entering the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm a second time.
In addition, the opening of the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm required the cooperation of eight true palace elders. Every time it was opened, it would consume a large amount of energy. The price was not small. Besides, they had not opened it a second time. How could Chu Mu have entered the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm a second time?
The eighteen elders looked at Chu Mu in shock.
Chu Mu did not expect that his second time entering the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm would be known. It had to be known that his actions were very secretive.
"Chu Mu, there is no need to be surprised. I saw you enter the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm a second time." The third palace master explained with a smile.
Chu Mu's brows slightly creased. He was a bit unhappy in his heart. He had already thought of something. This third palace master was definitely paying attention to him. With a sword saint's mental strength, or perhaps soul strength, if he wanted to investigate him, he wouldn't be able to discover it.
It was fine if he did not know that he was being monitored, but once he knew, no one would feel good.
"Chu Mu, don't take it to heart. I wasn't always paying attention to you. When you returned from the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm, I ordered people to pay attention to your movements. I felt that you might have obtained the Divine Desolate Order in the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm and have a chance to enter the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm again." The third palace master also saw Chu Mu frown. He seemed to understand the displeasure in Chu Mu's heart and explained, "The moment you left the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace, I received a report. I immediately left the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace to determine if you would enter the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm again."
After the explanation, the third palace master seemed to let out a sigh of relief. His attitude was sincere, so Chu Mu didn't mind it too much. However, it wasn't so easy to make the displeasure in his heart disappear like smoke.
However, there was nothing to fuss about at the moment.
"Chu Mu, I have always been direct with my words. This time, when you entered the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm, did you enter the Divine Desolate Heavenly Palace?" The second palace master's hoarse voice carried a trace of impatience. He emphasized again, "This matter is of great importance to the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace."
"Yes." Chu Mu thought for a moment before replying.
"Then did you obtain the inheritance of the Divine Desolate Heavenly Palace?" The second palace master stood up, his aura fluctuating due to his excitement.
"Yes." Chu Mu replied again.
"What inheritance did you obtain?" The second palace master sat down again and asked, "Was it the 'Divine Desolate Sword Manual' and the 'Divine Desolate Mystic Records'?"
It could be seen that the second palace master had a deep understanding of the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm.
"Yes." Chu Mu nodded.
"Good, good, good." The three words' good 'explained the excitement in the second palace master's heart, "My Heaven Desolate Earth Palace's founder left behind his last words. In the future, any disciple of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace that meets the requirements can enter the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm."
"The creation of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace is inseparable from the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm. It can be said that without the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm, there would be no Heaven Desolate Earth Palace." The third palace master added.
"Back then, the founder of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace obtained the inheritance in the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm. He obtained the Heaven Desolate Sword Manual and other cultivation techniques to create the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace. His last words mentioned that in the future, if someone were to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Desolate Heavenly Palace in the Divine Desolate Mystic Realm, they would inherit the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace and become the true master of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace." The second palace master continued.
Chu Mu's body trembled.
Did that mean that he could become the true master of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace?
However, on second thought, this did not seem to be a good thing. At least, Chu Mu was not interested in such matters.
"Since the creation of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace, it naturally has its own rules. Although I have obtained the inheritance of the Divine Desolate Heavenly Palace, I have no intention of doing so. My goal is only to reach the peak of Sword Dao." Chu Mu went straight to the point, "I am a disciple of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace and I am willing to contribute to the development of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace. As for becoming the master of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace, the three palace masters are more suitable than me."
This was Chu Mu's honest words. However, if Chu Mu really agreed to become the master of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace, the second palace master and the third palace master might not feel happy about it.
"In that case, Chu Mu, why don't you be the fourth palace master of the Heaven Desolate Earth Palace from now on?" The third palace master said.
"No, it should be the young palace master, the one and only young palace master." The second palace master said.
