With a buzzing sound, the radiance pierced through the sky. As the figure flashed, the Sword Light danced and turned into a roaring river. Like a tornado, it rolled up the surrounding stones and turned them into powder in an instant.
The Sword Light converged and the sword returned to its scabbard. The figure appeared and the radiance in his eyes dimmed. It was Hou Qingming.
"Brother, your sword technique has improved a lot." Lin Ye smiled.
"Yes, it has." Hou Qingming nodded and replied.
After losing to Chu Mu because of some insignificant reasons, Hou Qingming had been cultivating in seclusion since the day he lost to Chu Mu.
Losing had its benefits. At least before, he was the top inner disciple. Without a clear target, his cultivation progress was slow and it was difficult for him to improve.
No matter what the reason was, he only had one thought in his mind after losing to Chu Mu, which was to defeat Chu Mu.
With a clear target, he had more motivation to cultivate. It seemed that there was a promotion, which made Hou Qingming's strength improve obviously. The more perfect his sword technique was, the more powerful it was.
"I have a feeling that I will be able to comprehend the Rules within a year." Hou Qingming looked into the distance and said leisurely.
Lin Ye and the others were stunned for a moment and then smiled.
"Congratulations, brother."
"That's great. That means that you will become a true disciple and a Sword Of Gojoseon expert within a year."
Some swordsmen were born with abilities that were different from ordinary people. As their cultivation increased, their abilities would gradually increase. Sensing was Hou Qingming's ability. He could often sense his own improvement earlier, so he could make better arrangements for the future. This was also the reason why he was able to skyrocket and become the number one disciple of the Inner Palace.
His sensing was 70% accurate. The remaining 30% depended on luck.
However, even if it was not accurate, it would take him a few more months to comprehend the Rules within a year.
Hou Qingming smiled. Although he looked calm, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.
Sword Of Gojoseon!
That was the realm that many swordsmen pursued throughout their lives. He had been on the path of Ultimacy for a long time. It was time for him to make a breakthrough.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't excited.
"In order to break through as soon as possible and comprehend the power of laws, I will go into seclusion with all my might. I will not come out until I break through." Hou Qing Ming took a deep breath to calm himself down. "But …" His eyes became sharp like a sword.
"Before that, I have a small matter to take care of." After saying that, Hou Qing Ming turned around and left to take care of his small matter.
…
Cultivation knew no time.
The Desolate Qi in the True Palace's small palace was the essence qi of the Heaven Desolate Realm. It was a higher level version of the Desolate Qi, and it was the essence of the Desolate Qi. It was completely different from the Desolate Qi in the Inner and Outer Palaces.
After a few days, Chu Mu's cultivation stabilized at the level of Dacheng in the Spirit Condensation Realm. Following that, the power of his Divine Will broke through and reached the level of Dacheng in the Spirit Condensation Realm. The quantity was greater, and the quality was purer.
After the breakthrough in his cultivation, Chu Mu began to cultivate the Spirit Sense secret technique, Eye of the Sword.
The upper part of Eye of the Sword specialized in refining the power of Divine Will. Only after mastering the upper part could he cultivate the lower part, which was the true Spirit Sense attack secret technique.
He did not use the Sand of Time again. After all, there was a limit to the amount of Sand of Time. He planned to keep some for future use.
In the sword training room, the last Sword Stele was shattered by Chu Mu's sword.
Chu Mu kept his sword. Looking at the broken pieces on the floor, he could not help but shake his head. It seemed that he had to get more Sword Steles.
Suddenly, he calculated the time and realized that it had been seven years since he left the Sky Edge Sword Palace.
"It is not easy for the Power of Ultimacy to transform into the Power of Rules. It requires a lot of practice and mastery of each Power of Ultimacy. Only after finding the opportunity and understanding can the transformation be successful. Currently, I have no clue." Chu Mu frowned and said to himself, "The Sword Art Domain has reached the peak of Level 10. It is very difficult to break through to the next level. Similarly, I have no clue. In a short period of time, I will not be able to reach the level of Sword Of Gojoseon."
"I should find some time to ask the Third Palace Master if I can return to the Immemorial World."
Thinking about returning to the Immemorial World and the Sky Edge Sword Palace, Chu Mu's heart was burning with passion. It had been a long time since he last met his friend.
Exhaling, the passion in his heart cooled down. Calming down, Chu Mu walked out of the sword training room and planned to get the Sword Stele.
Then, he was notified that Hou Qingming had applied to challenge him again.
The Third Palace Master and the Elders of the True Palace had obviously accepted Hou Qingming's application. No matter what, Hou Qingming's talent was very high. It was obvious that he was worthy of attention.
"Alright, I can test my progress." Chu Mu smiled after receiving the notification.
…
This time, the challenge was also arranged in the Inner Palace. Many people knew about it and all of them came to watch the battle.
Before Chu Mu arrived, Hou Qingming was already standing in the arena with his two swords at his waist. He had an extraordinary aura.
"It seems that Hou Qingming has become more powerful."
"Yeah, he took the initiative to challenge Chu Mu again. He must be confident that he can defeat Chu Mu."
"Hou Qingming must be very unhappy that he was defeated by Chu Mu last time."
"Now, there will be a good show to watch."
"Speaking of which, since the last challenge, Chu Mu has also disappeared. I guess he has gone into seclusion. I wonder how much his strength has increased."
"Let's see."
There were many discussions, but it did not affect Hou Qingming at all. Chu Mu was late.
He had no choice. There was still some distance between where he lived and the Inner Palace.
As if sensing something, the moment Chu Mu appeared, Hou Qingming opened his eyes. His sharp gaze pierced through space and landed on Chu Mu's face. Chu Mu also looked over. The two people's gazes clashed in the air.
She leaped into the air like a swallow and landed on the battle arena, facing Hou Qingming.
"You have no chance in this battle," Hou Qingming said calmly. Hou Qingming said indifferently. His words had two meanings. He said he wanted to defeat Chu Mu, but also that Chu Mu wouldn't be as lucky as last time.
"Let the truth speak for itself," Chu Mu replied calmly without changing his expression.
"Take this." Hou Qingming did not intend to continue speaking. He drew his sword and spoke with the truth.
When the sword was drawn, sword light flashed and the golden sword aura slashed toward Ye Futian. Hou Qingming's figure followed. He waved his sword again, and a storm was stirred up.
Then, Hou Qingming's sword spun and water flowed.
In an instant, he used three different sword techniques to attack Chu Mu from three different angles.
Chu Mu also drew his sword.
The first sword slashed the wind, the second sword slashed the thunder, the third sword slashed the third sword, and the fourth sword slashed the water, causing Hou Qingming's body to tremble. Then, he used the Ice Flow Sword, causing the water to freeze. Hou Qingming's body trembled and he quickly retreated to create a distance between them.
"Wind Ultimacy, Thunder Ultimacy, Gold Ultimacy, Water Ultimacy, Ice Ultimacy and Space Ultimacy!"
Exclamations could be heard everywhere.
"Six Ultimacies, Chu Mu has mastered six Ultimacies."
"This is unbelievable. How did he cultivate six Ultimacies?"
Hou Qingming's eyes twitched. He could not imagine that Chu Mu had mastered six Ultimacies. He had spent a lot of time and had only mastered four Ultimacies. It was not that he could not comprehend more Ultimacies, but he did not dare to do so. With one more Ultimacy, the time needed to refine the Ultimacy would increase by several times, which would greatly delay his progress.
"Didn't you see? Chu Mu not only has six Ultimacies, but he has also refined all of them to the peak of the eighth revolution."
"Peak of the eighth revolution, that is a rank one Human Grade Earth Breaking Sword Skill."
This time, Chu Mu did not use his sword intent again, because his sword spirit and sword intent had not fully recovered yet.
Although he lacked sword intent and his sword skill was not complete, the Peak of the eighth revolution Ultimacy combined with the Mountain Trembling Energy and the impact of his spirit sense was still powerful.
With fear in his heart, Hou Qingming attacked again. His body flickered and turned into multiple shadows. It was hard to tell which one was real and which one was fake. There was also the sound of wind whistling, disturbing the surroundings.
He waved his sword, turning it into a golden storm, rolling towards Chu Mu like a tornado. It was like a destructive storm, cutting everything into pieces.
Metal Wind Double Ultimacy Sword Skill, a high rank rank two Human Grade Sword Skill!
At the same time, Chu Mu also performed a double Ultimacy Sword Skill, a sword skill that combined the Wind Ultimacy and the Thunder Ultimacy. It was called the Green Thunder Sword Skill. The Green Thunder Sword Skill tore through the air, clashing with Hou Qingming's Metal Wind and exploding.
Hou Qingming rushed towards Chu Mu and performed a high rank rank two Human Grade Sword Skill again. It was a sword skill that combined the Wind Ultimacy and the Water Ultimacy. It turned into a ring of water, carrying the power of the wind, cutting through the surroundings and attacking Chu Mu.
Chu Mu smiled slightly and waved his sword. It was a sword skill that combined the Wind Ultimacy and the Gold Ultimacy. It was called the Cutting Wind Sword Skill. It cut through the high-speed flowing water, but its power was also offset.
He took a step forward and the Green Thunder Sword Skill attacked Hou Qingming again. With a cracking sound, it struck towards Hou Qingming.
Hou Qingming's expression did not change. He countered with another high rank rank two Human Grade Sword Skill.
In just three breaths' time, Chu Mu and Hou Qingming had attacked several times. Each time, it was a sword skill.
Chop chop chop!
The swords clashed and sparks flew. Chu Mu looked more and more relaxed while Hou Qingming looked more and more serious. The situation had been reversed.
Last time, it was Hou Qingming who was pressuring Chu Mu. This time, it was Chu Mu who was pressuring Hou Qingming.
The improvement of his cultivation base, the use of his power Upanishad, and the study of sword techniques had made Chu Mu's competence progress significantly, which was much better than Hou Qing Ming's.
In comparison, Hou Qingming's improvement was insignificant. The other people of the Seven Sword Tower were dumbfounded. The scene of Hou Qingming defeating Chu Mu with ease did not happen.
With a low shout, Chu Mu took a step forward and cut into the middle of Hou Qingming's body. Once again, Chu Mu threw out his Wind Slash, which was beyond Hou Qingming's reaction time. He barely managed to block it before being blown away again.
