Just like that, Chu Mu became the Young Palace Master of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace. Now, this was just a status symbol. In name, he was also the master of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, but he was separated from the other three Palace Masters.
The treatment of a Young Palace Master was naturally not something an inner palace disciple could compare to. Simply put, Chu Mu could freely use many of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace's resources because he was now the master of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace. He was the kind of master who did not need to be managed.
Chu Mu did not object. This news was immediately spread. In one day, all the inner and outer palace disciples of the True Palace knew about it.
Chu Mu's name, which had been cool for a long time, once again became a hot topic. Everyone was surprised when they heard about it.
Chu Mu had become the Young Palace Master of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace?
Who was Chu Mu?
He was one of the new disciples of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace's outer palace. It was said that his sword intent and profound had been permanently sealed, and that he had no hope of breaking through in his lifetime. He could only mingle among the outer palace disciples for the rest of his life.
However, in the Hundred Year Tournament of the outer palace, he had shocked the world with a single feat. He had displayed extraordinary sword skills, repeatedly defeating his opponents to advance, and had even displayed the peak of the sixth revolution sword intent.
It was not strange to have sword intent. What was strange was that it was rumored that his sword intent had been permanently sealed. How could he still use sword intent?
Then, when he encountered a strong opponent, when everyone thought that Chu Mu was going to be defeated, he erupted with sword intent that had reached the seventh revolution. In the end, he defeated the most popular candidate, Nan Wu, and won first place in the Hundred Year Tournament, becoming the number one outer palace disciple.
After that, Chu Mu offended the inner palace disciples. After he gradually quieted down, he once again defeated Nan Wu, who had become even more powerful. This proved to everyone that Chu Mu was still the number one outer palace disciple.
In addition, Chu Mu had entered the Divine Wilderness Mystic Realm with the top thirty inner palace disciples. He had come out alive, so he must have obtained a lot of benefits.
In short, there were too many topics about Chu Mu. He had once again become the center of attention.
Regarding the appointment of Chu Mu as the Young Palace Master, the Outer Palace Disciples expressed their approval, and no one objected. However, the Inner Palace Disciples' opposition was very fierce, and the True Palace Disciples had the attitude of watching a good show.
There were three Palace Lords in the Heaven Wasteland Palace, and all matters, big and small, were basically decided by the Palace Lords and the Elders of the True Palace. But in the end, the Heaven Wasteland Palace was not a place where one person had the final say and acted arbitrarily. When the majority of the disciples had the same opinion but went against the decision of the Heaven Wasteland Palace, the higher-ups of the Earth Palace would also reconsider the feasibility of the decision.
"How can a mere Outer Palace disciple become the Young Palace Master?"
"I object. Chu Mu is not qualified to be the Young Palace Master."
"As far as I know, there is no record of the Young Palace Master in the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace. Even if there is a precedent, I don't think Chu Mu is qualified."
"I think I am also qualified to be the Young Palace Master."
Almost all the Inner Palace Disciples voiced their opposition, forming a storm of opposition that became more and more intense. This included the top thirty Inner Palace Disciples. Although a portion of them did not directly oppose, their words showed their attitude. They did not recognize Chu Mu as the Young Palace Master.
In fact, it was very normal in retrospect.
They did not know that Chu Mu had already become an Inner Palace Disciple. As an Outer Palace Disciple, no matter how talented he was, even if he might surpass them in the future, that was a matter for the future.
At the very least, in terms of status, they were superior to Chu Mu. Logically, Chu Mu should call them Senior Brothers.
However, Chu Mu had become the Young Palace Master. From now on, their status would be completely different. When they met Chu Mu, they would have to stop and greet him as "Young Palace Master" to show their respect for Chu Mu.
If Chu Mu was a True Palace Disciple, they would have nothing to say. However, they all knew that Chu Mu was only an Outer Palace Disciple and was also a newly recruited disciple. It was difficult for them to change their minds.
In less than three days, the Inner Palace Disciples were in an uproar. There were all kinds of objections and protests. The Elders of the Inner Palace could not suppress them, especially when there were the shadows of the top thirty Inner Palace Disciples and the True Palace Disciples adding fuel to the fire. The Elders of the Inner Palace did not dare to forcefully suppress them. They could only report this matter to the True Palace and let the Third Palace Master and True Palace Elders make a decision.
"Young Palace Master, what do you think of this matter?" The ball was kicked to Chu Mu.
Now that Chu Mu was the Young Palace Master of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, his residence had been moved to the True Palace. He had a small palace to himself. The treatment and environment were many times better than the rooms in the Outer Palace. The difference was like heaven and earth.
"If you don't accept it, then let's fight." Chu Mu decisively said.
If he did not accept the title of Young Palace Master, it would have been fine. But now that he had accepted it, there was no reason to give up. If you don't accept it, then let's fight. Use strength to prove it.
"Okay, if you don't accept it, then let's fight." The Third Palace Master clapped his hands and smiled. "Spread the news. Half a month later, any inner palace disciple who does not accept Chu Mu as the Young Palace Master will have a chance to challenge Chu Mu. If they defeat Chu Mu, they will receive a generous reward from the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace. And if Chu Mu loses, his title of Young Palace Master will be revoked."
"But on the other hand, if Chu Mu defeats all the inner palace disciples who do not accept it, then the title of Young Palace Master will live up to his name." The Third Palace Master finally added, "Chu Mu, what do you think of this arrangement?"
"The time is set for one month later." Chu Mu simply replied.
"Okay, one month later at the Inner Palace Martial Arts Practice Field." The Third Palace Master finally made the decision.
The news naturally spread.
"How bold."
"Arrogant."
"Arrogant."
And the news that Chu Mu had passed the Inner Palace assessment and had advanced to the Divine Condensation Realm was also known by everyone.
"So what if his cultivation base has broken through to the Divine Condensation Realm? A mere Divine Condensation Realm swordsman who has just broken through can't even use the power of Divine Consciousness freely. What strength does he have to speak of?"
"One month, I guess he intends to use this one month to cultivate and increase his strength."
"It's useless. If it was a few years, perhaps his strength would increase by leaps and bounds, surpassing many inner palace disciples. But a mere one month, humph, it's too short, it's useless."
"One month it is. One month later, I'll let Chu Mu understand that he is not qualified to hold the title of Young Palace Master."
After the various discussions directed at Chu Mu, they quieted down. However, there was also the tense and oppressive atmosphere of a coming storm. Everyone seemed to have gathered their strength. They were only waiting for the challenge to begin in a month. At that time, they would definitely defeat Chu Mu in front of many people and make everyone understand that Chu Mu simply didn't have the qualifications to become the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace's young palace master.
They rubbed their fists and prepared to defeat Chu Mu, while Chu Mu returned to his own small palace.
There were many small palaces like this in the True Palace, and the owners were either Palace Masters or Elders of the True Palace.
The small palace was about a few hundred square meters in size. There was a living room, a bedroom, a cultivation room, and a sword practice room. There was also an underground secret room for seclusion. There was also a large front yard. The layout was quite nice, and the scenery was beautiful.
The most important thing was that the Desolate Qi here was dozens of times purer than in the Outer Palace. It was also hundreds of times richer than in the Outer Palace. Cultivating in such a place would definitely increase one's cultivation base faster.
It was an excellent cultivation environment. In the sword practice room, there was a sword stele to test one's power, and so on. It was well-equipped and very professional. Moreover, it was said that there would be sword servants and so on. In short, this was the treatment of an Elder of the True Palace.
Although the arranged sword servants were not in place yet.
As for the matter of being nominated as the Young Palace Master, Chu Mu only agreed after much consideration. This was because the status of a Young Palace Master was very high. Although he did not directly participate in the management of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, he could use the resources of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, just like the three Palace Masters.
Of course, there was a limit to the amount he could use, but at least it was good. The Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace had been established for many years, and there were countless treasures stored in it. It was very rich, and even if he could only use a small part of it, it would be of great benefit to Chu Mu.
For example, to cultivate the Divine Wasteland Sword Seed Technique, Chu Mu only had fifty of the ninety-nine precious materials. For the remaining forty-nine, he placed his hopes on the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace's storage. It was just that he did not have time now, and had to wait until he really became the Young Palace Master to slowly choose.
The reason he agreed to be challenged and the time was set to be one month later was because Chu Mu wanted to make some preparations first.
The cultivation of the [Sword Soul Separation Technique] required the sword soul and sword intent to be divided into two, which required time to recover. Obviously, one month's time was far from enough. Chu Mu planned to use the power of the low-grade sand of time to turn one month into eleven months. At that time, even if he did not fully recover, he would be able to recover a part of it. At least when he used it, his foundation would not be damaged.
In addition, Chu Mu had already cultivated the Heaven Wasteland Sword Technique to the point of merging the ninety-nine forms. The ninety-nine forms of the Heaven Wasteland Sword Technique were fused into one sword. Chu Mu had also fused the Initial Stage, Advanced Stage, and Extreme Stage powers together. He had truly reached the limit, and was only a fine line away from the next realm. The next breakthrough was to become one with the sword.
He planned to use this one month's time to comprehend and cultivate, and strive to truly reach the realm of one with the sword in terms of power control. At that time, his attack power would be greatly enhanced.
If he had enough time after breaking through to the realm of one with the sword, Chu Mu also planned to study sword skills, and strive to create some sword skills for himself to better display the power of the realm of one with the sword.
Wholeheartedly cultivating, in a better environment, the effects of cultivation would be even more obvious.
Day after day passed, and the inner palace disciples who were prepared to challenge Chu Mu did not relax either. Although they did not put Chu Mu in their eyes, cultivation was like rowing a boat against the current. If you did not advance, you would fall behind. No matter what, it would definitely be beneficial to them.
Time passed as they cultivated. In the blink of an eye, a month's time had passed.
