Everyone found that Chu Mu seemed to have disappeared after the "Young Palace Master Crisis" challenge.
Anyway, not having to meet Chu Mu and respectfully address him as Young Palace Master was a good thing. At least they felt more comfortable.
…
After several days, Chu Mu finally stabilized the Sword Soul. However, because of the use of the Sword Essence, it was more troublesome to recover. It would take a long time.
Chu Mu also made up his mind not to go out before the Sword Soul and Sword Essence were fully recovered. Instead, he would stay in the small palace and concentrate on cultivation. As for the matter of the swordsman, Chu Mu canceled it as it was unnecessary.
While letting the Sword Soul and Sword Essence recover naturally, he cultivated the Heavenly Wasteland Sword Essence to make it purer and then make a breakthrough. His swordsmanship cultivation did not fall behind either. His swordsmanship had reached the peak of the tenth level, but he was still unable to break through to the next level.
In addition, the study of the power of vibration was also in progress. Above the Mountain Quake Force, Chu Mu defined it as the Earth Quake Force, which could even crack the earth. Obviously, the Earth Quake Force was much stronger than the Mountain Quake Force. Chu Mu did not have anyone to guide him, so he relied on himself to explore. His progress was slow, and he did not know when he would be able to comprehend the Earth Quake Force. At present, he was only constantly strengthening the Mountain Quake Force.
Finally, it was the comprehension and study of sword skills.
For a swordsman, sword skills were very important. The number and strength of sword skills were directly related to the strength of a swordsman.
He had created Slash Iron in battle and continuously perfected it in battle. Ultimately, he had made it complete, but it still hadn't reached perfection. Moreover, Chu Mu's understanding of the man and sword as one wasn't enough. He didn't have a complete system.
Fortunately, the small palace he lived in had a rich collection of books. The theoretical records about sword skills were also relatively complete and detailed. It was enough for Chu Mu to read carefully and form a more complete understanding in his heart.
The sword skills under the realm of One with the Sword were divided into three major levels. From low to high, they were the Human Level sword skills, the Earth Level sword skills, and the Heaven Level sword skills.
The gap between the major levels of sword skills was insurmountable.
It was common knowledge that Sword Of Gojoseon level and below comprehended Profound Meaning. Sword skills created based on Profound Meaning belonged to the Human Level Sword Skill level, and were also known as Profound Meaning Sword Skills.
There were many kinds of profounds. A profound sword skill, or a Mortal Realm sword skill, could contain more or less profounds. Therefore, it was also divided into levels and ranks. A sword skill with one profound would be called a rank one Mortal Realm sword skill. A sword skill with two profound would be called a rank two Mortal Realm sword skill, and so on and so forth. The number of profounds it contained would determine the rank of the Mortal Realm sword skill.
An Earth Level Sword Of Gojoseon level corresponded to a Sword Of Gojoseon level. For a swordsman to become a Sword Of Gojoseon, he first had to reach the realm of One with the Sword in terms of power control. The second and final condition was to comprehend a deeper level of power, get closer to the essence of power, and transform the profounds into the power of rules.
The power of a Sword Of Gojoseon was not something that Sword Of Gojoseon level and below could imagine. Even the most talented swordsman would not be a match for a Sword Of Gojoseon before breaking through to the level of a Sword Of Gojoseon. Even the weakest Sword Of Gojoseon would not be a match for a Sword Of Gojoseon because of the fundamental difference between the profounds and the power of rules.
If the power of heaven and earth were to be divided into levels, the conception would be the most obvious level, the profounds would be the second level, and the rules would be the third level. The difference between each level would only become bigger and more obvious. Even the power of three profounds could not be compared to a single rule.
Just like Mortal Level Sword Skills, Earth Level Sword Skills were also divided into first, second, and third grades, which were closely related to the number of rules it corresponded to.
As for Heaven Level Sword Skills, Chu Mu had only seen a few words in the records, because Heaven Level Sword Skills were sword skills that only Sword Saints possessed. The gap between Heaven Level Sword Skills and the Sword Of Gojoseon level was huge, like a chasm between heaven and earth. The gap between Heaven Level Sword Skills and Chu Mu's was even bigger, so it was not the time to delve into it.
Whether it was Mortal Level Sword Skills, Earth Level Sword Skills, or Heaven Level Sword Skills, other than the division of grades, there was a more detailed division between each grade.
The reason for the differentiation was very simple. There were nine revolutions of sword intent and nine revolutions of profound meaning. The same grade one sword skill contained six revolutions of sword intent and profound meaning, so its power naturally couldn't be compared with seven revolutions of sword intent and profound meaning.
However, First Grade Sword Skills with Eighth Turn Sword Essence and Profounds were naturally more powerful.
Sword Skills with Fifth Turn Sword Essence and Profounds were called Low Grade Sword Skills, Sixth Turn Sword Essence and Profounds were Middle Grade Sword Skills, Seventh Turn Sword Essence and Profounds were High Grade Sword Skills. For example, a Sword Skill with Gold Profound, if the Sword Essence and Gold Profound were Fifth Turn Sword Skills, it would be First Grade Low Grade Sword Skills of the Human Level. If the Sword Essence and Gold Profound were Sixth Turn Sword Skills, it would be First Grade Middle Grade Sword Skills of the Human Level, and so on.
Swordsmen who could refine Sword Essence and Profounds to Eighth Turn Sword Essence and Profounds were very few, but there was no lack of them since ancient times. Therefore, Sword Skills with Eighth Turn Sword Essence and Profounds were called Earth Breaking Level.
As for Ninth Turn Sword Essence, there was no record of it since ancient times. Theoretically, Sword Skills based on Ninth Turn Sword Essence and Profounds were called Heaven Shaking Level.
No one knew that Chu Mu actually had the potential to perform Heaven Shaking Level Sword Skills.
When Sword Skills were first created, they usually stayed at Low Grade or Middle Grade Sword Skills. For example, a Sword Skill created by a Sword Master who had refined Sword Essence and Profounds to the Limit of Sixth Turn could only bear Sword Essence and Profounds of the Limit of Fifth Turn. After that, it would need to be perfected continuously to be able to bear Sword Essence and Profounds of the Limit of Sixth Turn.
By the same logic, a sword skill created by a peak seventh revolution swordsman would at most contain the sword intent and profundity of the peak sixth revolution. It still needed to be perfected through trial and error before it could contain the sword intent and profundity of the peak seventh revolution.
Chu Mu's situation was the same. In the beginning, he could only bear Sword Essence and Profounds of the Limit of Seventh Turn when he created the Metal Attribute Sword Skill, Chop Iron. However, as he continued to fight, the Sword Skill continued to be perfected and the power it could bear increased until it could bear Sword Essence and Profounds of the Limit of Eighth Turn.
It was very difficult to perfect Sword Skills, especially for a Sword Master who had profound Sword Essence and Profounds. It was even more difficult to perfect Sword Skills. Chu Mu was in such a situation. He needed a lot of time to perfect Sword Skills until he reached the limit.
Sword Skills were broad and profound. Without these books, Chu Mu didn't know when he would have a clear understanding of them.
There were three levels. Within each level, there were different grades. Within each grade, there were different levels. It was a bit complicated, but in this way, one could clearly distinguish the strength of a Sword Skill.
As for Sword Skills below Fifth Turn Sword Essence and Profounds, Sword Essence and Profounds weren't powerful enough.
According to the records, any Sword Master who could become a Sword Of Gojoseon could at least refine their Sword Essence and Profounds to the Limit of Fifth Turn. This was because their souls were strong enough. Most of the Sword Masters who could become a Sword Of Gojoseon could refine their Sword Essence and Profounds to the Sixth Turn. As for the geniuses in the Sword Of Gojoseon, their Sword Essence and Profounds could reach the Seventh Turn.
In addition to having a clear understanding of Sword Skills, Chu Mu also gradually gained a deeper understanding of the formation and various Profounds of Sword Skills. He had mastered as many as ten Profounds. It was impossible for him to limit himself to the Metal Attribute Sword Skill, Chop Iron. He needed more Sword Skills to be able to better display his strength in battle.
To put it simply, Sword Skills were to combine the various powers one had mastered and combine them in the best and most perfect way to release the power at the deepest level.
In order to have more time, Chu Mu also used the Elementary Sand of Time.
Originally, the Elementary Sand of Time was only useful for Origin Realm Swordsmen. The Intermediate Sand of Time was useful for Deity Condensation Realm Swordsmen. However, by embedding the Sand of Time into the Time Compass, it could allow one to skip a level. The Elementary Sand of Time was useful for Deity Condensation Realm Swordsmen.
Under the power of the Time Compass and the Elementary Sand of Time, one month in the outside world was actually eleven months for Chu Mu. His Sword Soul had recovered well, but it would still take some time for it to fully recover.
His Sword Arts had truly encountered a bottleneck. He was stuck at the peak of the tenth level of Sword Arts Domain. He couldn't estimate how long it would take for him to break through. His Vibration Force had made some progress. The power of Mountain Shaking Force had increased a little. However, he still didn't have much of a clue about Earth Shaking Force. As for his cultivation, Chu Mu was only constantly consolidating and purifying it. He wasn't in a hurry to break through. He was still at the peak of Deity Condensation Realm.
Among all kinds of cultivation, the one with the most obvious improvement was Sword Skills.
In the Sword Training Room, there were many Sword Steles erected for practicing Sword Skills. Chu Mu stood about ten meters away from a Sword Stele. He took a light breath and his right hand quickly grasped the sword hilt. With a clang, the sharp sword was unsheathed and slashed forward. The wind whistled as a meter long cyan wind blade instantly left the sword. It split the air in front of it and slashed towards the Sword Stele.
The cyan wind blade seemed to have a kind of crystalline and translucent feeling, as if it had substance.
With a swoosh, the cyan wind blade instantly slashed onto the Sword Stele. The wind blade shattered and a new scratch was left on the Sword Stele. It was three inches deep.
There were more than a hundred scratches on the Sword Stele, all of which were made by Chu Mu during this period of time. His purpose was to test the power of the Sword Skill and perfect it.
A true swordsmanship, from the moment it was created, had to be tested repeatedly to find out its shortcomings. The best way was to fight with a strong enemy, but that was extremely dangerous. If one was not careful, they could be killed. Moreover, there were not many strong enemies to fight with, so they could only use their own sword to study it repeatedly.
This was a Wind Sword Skill, which was named by Chu Mu as Wind Slasher. It was a Rank One Sword Skill of the Human Grade. As for the deeper division, it could be Advanced Grade, Earth Breaking Grade, or even Heaven Shaking Grade. It all depended on Chu Mu's wishes.
Because the Sword Soul and Sword Will had not been completely restored, Chu Mu did not dare to use Sword Will again. Therefore, the Wind Slasher was not perfect. However, after repeated research by Chu Mu, as long as the Sword Soul and Sword Will were restored and integrated, the Wind Slasher would be complete.
The next step was to study the third Sword Skill.
In fact, for Chu Mu, what he wanted more was a Sword Skill of the Profound of Emptiness, or at least a Sword Skill that combined two Profound of Emptiness. However, it was too difficult. Instead of spending time on comprehending two Profound of Sword Skills, it was better to study each Profound of Emptiness and create corresponding Sword Skills to deepen his understanding of Sword Skills. On this basis, it would be better to create a Rank Two Sword Skill of the Human Grade.
For his own cultivation, step by step, Chu Mu had a clear goal and a solid approach. He would never rush ahead and neglect the essentials.
For the third Rank One Sword Skill of the Human Grade, Chu Mu focused on the Water Profound. There was nothing special about it, it was just a feeling that made him do it.
Chu Mu was more familiar with the Profound of Gold and Profound of Wind. In comparison, he was not familiar with the Water Profound. However, with the experience of creating Sword Skills twice, Chu Mu could avoid some detours and create the Water Profound.
The outside world had the outside world's time, while the inside world had the inside world's time. Slowly, Chu Mu created a water type sword technique and named it Thin Flow.
