Green mountains and clear waters, white clouds in the distance, clear as a valley.
This was where the Soaring Sky Court was located. Although it was named as a court, it wasn't actually a court, but a mountain-like terrain with countless buildings of all shapes and sizes. It was as if one had entered a world exhibition hall.
Under Xia Yunfei's lead, Chu Mu quickly finished registering in the Soaring Sky Court and obtained his identity sword token. The sword token gave him one hundred flying points. Next, he requested to comprehend the Flying Heaven murals. After registering, he brought Chu Mu to the arranged residence, a sword tower built inside a huge rock.
The huge rock was a hundred meters tall and seventy to eighty meters wide. The interior was hollowed out and a sword tower was built inside. It was called the Stone Tower, and it was very interesting.
"Junior Brother, I'll bring you to a place." Xia Yunfei said to Chu Mu. He was appointed by the pavilion elder to lead the way for Chu Mu, so he felt obligated to let Chu Mu know more about the Flying Heaven Pavilion.
"Okay." After looking around the Stone Tower, Chu Mu left with Xia Yunfei.
"The place I'll bring you to is called the Hundred Battles Pavilion. There is one in each of the five courts of the Flying Heaven Pavilion. As the name suggests, it's a place for swordsmen to fight." As he led the way, Xia Yunfei explained. His movement technique was as swift as the wind, and as he flew past, Chu Mu was right next to him, not at all inferior.
Chu Mu was not surprised. The world of swordsmen was filled with battles. Every sect was like that, so there was nothing strange about it.
Having a place for battles was also a way to avoid destruction everywhere.
"Oh right, Junior Brother, there's something I need to tell you first. When we reach the Hundred Battles Pavilion, there will definitely be senior brothers who will provoke you. But don't be angry, because this is the rule. They won't deliberately target anyone." Xia Yunfei explained, "When I first came here, it was the same."
"Okay." Chu Mu nodded. He wouldn't be angered by ordinary provocations. Only excessive provocations would arouse his anger.
The Hundred Battles Tower was located in a corner of the Soaring Sky Academy. It only had one floor and was very large. The four corners of the tower were hollowed out. One could vaguely see the silhouettes of people moving about in the tower. The battle intent emanating from the tower soared into the sky.
Even from afar, Chu Mu and Xia Yunfei could sense the sharp aura coming from the Hundred Battles Pavilion.
It didn't take long for Xia Yunfei and Chu Mu to enter the Hundred Battles Tower and see the two people fighting on the Sword Battle Stage.
Chu Mu recognized that one of the two fighting was a new disciple, and the other was an old disciple of the Sky Soaring Academy.
The disciples of the Soaring Sky Academy, the Flat Sky Academy, and the Soaring Sky Academy were all in the Divine Condensation Realm. They paid attention to their foundations. They planned to comprehend more sword skills while they were in the Divine Condensation Realm, laying a solid foundation for their sword skills. After reaching a certain level, they would break through and become the Sword Of Gojoseon.
The reason was simple. Intent Energy was easier to comprehend than Profound Energy. It was also easier to fuse with them. Because the two weren't strong enough, the repulsive force was weaker. Similarly, Profound Energy was much weaker than Principle Energy. Comparatively speaking, the repulsive force was weaker, and it was easier to fuse with them.
Therefore, those who truly wanted to walk further on the path of swordsmen would pay more attention to their foundations. They would lay the most solid foundation in every realm.
On the Sword Battle Stage, the two people didn't hold back. They used all kinds of sword skills as if they were mortal enemies. Chu Mu also noticed that the surface of the two people's bodies seemed to be covered with a layer of invisible energy.
Below the Sword Battle Stage, there were old disciples and new disciples watching the battle. There weren't many old disciples. Including the one on the Sword Battle Stage, there were only six. Including Xia Yunfei, there were only seven in total. Most of them didn't come, but there were dozens of new disciples.
"Junior Brother Xia, you're here."
"Senior Brother Xia, you're here."
As soon as Xia Yunfei arrived, the old disciples looked over and greeted him. Then, their gazes shifted to Chu Mu.
"Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, let me introduce you. This is Chu Mu. He's a new disciple who was assigned to our Soaring Sky Court." Xia Yunfei greeted them and introduced Chu Mu.
"Chu Mu!" Someone exclaimed.
"Could it be that he's the one who broke Senior Brother Qin Tianyi's record in the entrance exam? Moreover, it's said that he comprehended eight Profound Meanings and refined them to the limit of the eighth revolution, but his cultivation talent is only at the low fifth grade?" Another exclamation sounded. Everyone's gazes focused on Chu Mu.
"It's really Chu Mu."
"He was actually assigned to our Soaring Sky Court."
"Although his comprehension ability is outstanding and he has comprehended eight Profound Meanings, his cultivation talent is only at the low fifth grade. That's his shortcoming. It's not strange that he was assigned to our Soaring Sky Court."
The new disciples also began to discuss. Regarding this, Chu Mu's expression didn't change. He didn't care at all.
At this time, on the battle stage, the new disciple was struck by the old disciple's sword skill. The invisible energy on his body shattered, and the new disciple was defeated. He angrily took out a thousand high-grade Origin Crystals and even took out his identity sword token to fight with his opponent's identity sword token.
"In this battle, the loser has to give the winner a thousand high-grade Origin Crystals and ten flying points," Xia Yunfei explained to Chu Mu.
On the battle stage, the old disciple looked at Chu Mu. His eyes shone brightly and fell on Chu Mu's face. He immediately grinned and said, "I heard that your comprehension ability is unparalleled. The number of Profound Meanings you have comprehended is also the number one in the Flying Heaven Pavilion. How about it? Do you want to come up and play with me? Don't worry, with the Battle Stage's protection, you won't be injured."
There were many kinds of provocation. Some provocations wouldn't make people angry, while some would make people want to kill. This provocation belonged to the most common kind of provocation.
On the way here, Xia Yunfei had already greeted Chu Mu. This kind of situation was normal, so Chu Mu didn't decline. He leaped and landed on the battle stage.
Immediately, he felt a surge of energy spread from his feet to his whole body. His body was covered with a layer of invisible energy that didn't hinder his movements.
This layer of invisible energy was used to protect the swordsman. The battle here required one to use their true strength. Without protection, one could lose an arm, a leg, or even die.
Unfortunately, this kind of protection was only useful on the battle stage. It couldn't be extended to other uses. The price was too high.
"Since you've been assigned to the Soaring Sky Academy, you're our junior brother. My name is Bai Qili." The opponent introduced himself first, then unsheathed his sword and used a sword skill. "Take this!"
His attack was clean and efficient, without any unnecessary movements. It showed Bai Qili's rich battle experience and exquisite fighting skills.
Indeed, the disciples of the Soaring Sky Academy were all at the early or middle eighth revolution in Sword Intent Profound. They had comprehended three or four kinds of Profound Meanings. However, they were all old disciples who had experienced hundreds of battles. With the cultivation environment of the Flying Heaven Pavilion, their mastery of Profound Meanings was even finer.
The opponent used an Earth Piercing Sword Skill, which was incomparably fast. Chu Mu's reaction was even faster. He shifted, drew his sword, and counterattacked. A thunderbolt tore through the sky. At the same time, his body was like a ghost, drifting closer to the opponent. His sword was like a flood dragon soaring out of the water.
"Let's see how strong this strange new junior brother is." The old disciples thought. The new disciples were also watching intently.
Up until now, the dozens of new disciples had been on the battle stage. Without exception, all of them had been defeated by the old disciples.
It couldn't be helped. In terms of Sword Intent and Profound Meanings, as well as the number of Profound Meanings they had comprehended, they were about the same as the old disciples. They didn't have any advantage. Moreover, the old disciples had joined the Flying Heaven Pavilion a few years earlier than them.
Within the Soaring Pavilion, the older disciples had a cultivation environment and resources that the outside world could not compare to. Their footsteps would only go further than the new disciples.
Under such conditions, how could the new disciples defeat the old disciples?
It wasn't just the Soaring Sky Academy. It was the same in the Flat Sky Academy and the Flying Heaven Academy. When the new disciples arrived, the old disciples would definitely give them a beating. Simply put, it was a show of strength. The intention was to let the new disciples know their own capabilities.
Perhaps in the outside world, they were all highly regarded geniuses. But in here, they were just one of many geniuses. They had to adjust their mentality in order to achieve something.
Not only did the elders tacitly approve of this, they even encouraged it.
After exchanging blows a few times, Chu Mu had a basic understanding of his opponent's strength. Bai Qili was indeed much stronger than the average early stage eighth revolution swordsman. In terms of Sword Intent and Profound Meanings, Bai Qili was a level higher than him. Perhaps, this was the result of cultivating all kinds of sword arts.
If Chu Mu's Sword Intent and Profound Meanings were only at the early stage of the eighth revolution, it would indeed be difficult for him to defeat Bai Qili. However, Chu Mu's Sword Intent and Profound Meanings were at the peak of the eighth revolution.
When the human tier third grade Earth Piercer sword skills collided, Chu Mu's Volcanic Eruption was even more powerful. The aftershock struck Bai Qili's body, instantly shattering the invisible energy around him.
"Junior Brother, you win." Bai Qili was startled at first, then he smiled bitterly. He had never imagined that he would lose to a new disciple with his strength.
He took out a thousand high grade Origin Crystals and gave them to Chu Mu. At the same time, he also gave ten Flying Points to Chu Mu.
"This new disciple is very strong." The other senior disciples exclaimed. The situation was beyond their expectations.
"Definitely. After all, Junior Brother Chu's Sword Intent and Profound Meanings have been refined to the peak of the eighth revolution. Although his Profound Meanings aren't as refined as ours, in terms of absolute strength, he clearly surpasses us. Similarly, a human tier third grade Earth Piercer sword skill is much more powerful. Under the offset effect, the aftershock is comparable to a human tier second grade Earth Piercer sword skill." Xia Yunfei analyzed.
"This Junior Brother's strength is indeed very strong. Unfortunately, his cultivation talent is only at the fifth grade. If he was at the third grade, perhaps he would be able to dominate the king level."
"Everything depends on effort. In the Immemorial World, there are treasures that can raise one's cultivation talent. Although they are rare and difficult to obtain, perhaps Junior Brother Chu's luck is outstanding and he will be able to obtain them."
"Let's not talk about this first. Since Junior Brother Bai has lost, someone needs to defeat Junior Brother Chu and give him a warning." As soon as he finished speaking, one of the senior disciples rose into the air and teleported to the Hundred Battle Stage.
