The more profound a swordsman's cultivation was, the longer their lifespan would be.
Origin Realm swordsmen already had a lifespan of a thousand years, Divine Condensation Realm swordsmen had a lifespan of two thousand years, and Creation Realm swordsmen had a lifespan of three thousand years, living even longer.
After refining the Aspect of Wood, the Aspect of Wood fused with his body, turning into a tiny sprout that took root in his heart. The force of the Heart Sword stored in his heart was immediately absorbed by the Aspect of Wood, emptying it out. The Aspect of Wood trembled and emitted a faint, round, jade-green lustre that covered his entire heart, causing it to be covered in a layer of translucent jade-green. Contrasting with the red, it gave off a demonic feeling.
Vigorous vitality constantly poured into his heart. Then, as his heart beat rhythmically with power, it was like a pump being sent from his blood to his veins. It was like an endless river that washed through every part of his body, causing him to glow with vitality.
Chu Mu immediately sensed that the vitality in his body had increased by several times. His vitality had increased tremendously, and the rate at which his body was aging had decreased by several times. Even if his lifespan had not broken through ten thousand years, it was close.
What surprised him was that the Aspect of Wood had completely devoured the force of the Heart Sword.
The Force of the Heart Sword was a unique force cultivated from the 'Heart Sword Secret Manual'. It did not have any attributes, but it was extremely special and wondrous. In the past, the Force of the Heart Sword had been of great help to Chu Mu. However, the cultivation of the Force of the Heart Sword was just too difficult. It had to be accumulated bit by bit without any external help. Gradually, it was unable to keep up with Chu Mu's rapid increase in strength and was unable to form an effective increase.
This was also the reason why Chu Mu did not use Shadow Strike, Sword Heart's Shadow, or Heart Sword Cleaving the Sky in every battle. The Force of the Heart Sword was just too little. It was not enough at all.
Chu Mu had cultivated too much, but his time was limited. He had to make some choices and give up on certain things. The cultivation of the Force of the Heart Sword was one of the things he gave up.
Without cultivating, the power of the Heart Sword did not increase. It had always been entrenched in his heart, forming a layer of protection. Now that it had been devoured by the Wood Avatar, the life force of the Wood Avatar had increased slightly. The life force was also protecting Chu Mu's heart. The power of the Heart Sword could be considered valuable.
Speaking of which, the Heart Sword Secret Record was indeed a miraculous martial art. Unfortunately, Chu Mu had a lot of things to cultivate. His time was limited, so he had to make a choice. If he focused on the cultivation of the Heart Sword Secret Record, his strength would definitely surpass many swordsmen of the same level. It would not be impossible for him to challenge swordsmen of a higher level.
Chu Mu stretched lazily as he finished refining the Wood Aspect Source. His bones crackled like beans being fried, and exuberant vitality seeped out from his body, dyeing the surrounding air with a layer of thriving vitality.
Her sharp fingernails were like the edge of a sword. She cut open the skin of her palm, but before blood could be seen, a faint green color flashed past, and the skin that was cut open was as good as new.
"My self-healing ability has increased by at least ten times," Chu Mu said in a low voice.
Immediately, he raised his head and looked out of the Stone Pavilion with a deep gaze. He muttered to himself, "It's time to comprehend a fifth grade sword skill."
A fifth grade sword skill was at least ten times more powerful than a fourth grade sword skill, but the difficulty of comprehending it was a hundred times or a thousand times more difficult. In the past, Chu Mu had no clue. On the trip to the Land of Five Elements, he had occasionally gained something, but if he wanted to comprehend it, he did not know how many years it would take. At that time, his peers would have left him far behind.
If he wanted to comprehend a fifth grade sword skill as soon as possible, he would need external help in addition to his own gains. This external help was the Flying Sky Mural.
Five thousand Flying Sky Points meant that Chu Mu could comprehend it ten times. Whether or not he could comprehend a fifth grade sword skill after ten tries, Chu Mu was not very confident, but he had to try his best. If it did not work, he could only give up temporarily and break through to the Creation Realm first.
Ever since he comprehended the Mystery of Creation, even if he did not deliberately cultivate, his understanding and mastery of various Ultimacies had gradually improved. He had already reached the peak of each of his swordsmanships. If he made another breakthrough, just like the Space Ultimacy, he would reach a whole new level. He could break through to the Creation Realm at any time and transform the Power of Ultimacy into the Power of Rules.
He got up and left the Stone Pavilion, heading to the Mural Palace.
The junior brothers he met all stopped and saluted Chu Mu with their sword, showing the most sincere respect in their hearts. Then, they watched Chu Mu leave. The sudden feeling of being respected by everyone made Chu Mu feel a little helpless. He still preferred to be more easy-going.
When he entered the Mural Palace again, there were dozens of Flying Heaven Pavilion disciples comprehending sword skills and sword skills. From the aura they emitted, Chu Mu knew that a portion of these disciples were experts at the level of the Sword Of Gojoseon. In other words, they were disciples of the Sky Breaking Academy.
He walked towards the Flying Sky Sword Skill Mural and found an empty spot to sit down cross-legged. He stared at the Sword Skill Mural, and the distracting thoughts in his mind receded like the tide, leaving behind only emptiness.
He began to comprehend the Sword Skill Mural and the sword skills.
The scratches on the swordsmanship murals were more complicated than those on the swordsmanship murals. This was because the scratches on the swordsmanship murals could be distinguished from each other if one looked carefully. Different sword skill scratches did not interfere with each other.
But on the Sword Skill Mural, the scratches were disorderly. They crisscrossed and overlapped with each other, forming an intricate pattern.
Sword skills were originally more complicated than Sword Skills. They were the sublimation of Sword Skills. They were the fusion and use of all kinds of energy. They were exquisite to the peak, and they were powerful killing moves that fused with the energy of heaven and earth.
Comprehending Sword Skills was even more difficult than comprehending Sword Skills. This was especially true for higher grade Sword Skills. The difficulty would constantly increase.
Comprehending the Sword Skill Mural didn't mean that one could directly comprehend it as soon as they sat down. One had to first find a suitable spot.
The scratches on the Sword Skill Mural weren't completely complicated. At the very least, Chu Mu was gradually able to sort out the differences.
These Sword Skill Mural scratches existed in patches. Each patch was complete, and each patch was very close to the other. That was why they looked like they overlapped with each other.
Each Sword Skill Mural represented a Sword Skill.
If they were to be divided, these Sword Skill Mural scratches were simple, which represented First Grade Sword Skills. The complexity and profoundness increased in order. First Grade Sword Skills, Second Grade Sword Skills, Third Grade Sword Skills, Fourth Grade Sword Skills. Chu Mu also found the Sword Skill Mural scratches of Fifth Grade Sword Skills.
Among them, First Grade Sword Skills had the most Sword Skill Mural scratches. As the grade of the Sword Skill increased, the number of Sword Skill Mural scratches gradually decreased. When it came to Fifth Grade Sword Skills, there were very few Sword Skill Mural scratches. Compared to the First Grade Sword Skill Mural scratches, it was simply one in a hundred.
Even among the many Sword Skill Mural, Chu Mu also found a very complex Sword Skill Mural. It was much more complex than the Fifth Grade Sword Skill Mural. It should be a Sixth Grade Sword Skill Mural.
These Sword Skill Mural did not contain the real Sword Skill, but the essence of the Sword Skill. Comprehending it, one could not directly comprehend a complete Sword Skill. One could only comprehend a trace of the Sword Skill's essence. Then, with one's own comprehension and ability, as well as one's own accumulation and repeated attempts, one could finally create a Sword Skill that was suitable for oneself.
This was the purpose of the Flying Heaven Pavilion. It was also the reason why the Flying Heaven Pavilion paid the most attention to comprehension when recruiting disciples.
For example, when disciples of other forces practiced Sword Skills and so on, in addition to their own comprehension and creation, they could also directly practice the Sword Skills left by their predecessors. Although they could also practice and improve their strength and become stronger, it was not as good as the Sword Skills that they created themselves.
Of course, when comparing the two, there was no saying which one was better or more powerful. Everything depended on the swordsman's own ability.
Chu Mu's comprehension was monstrous. He did not need to practice the Sword Skills left by his predecessors. What he needed was a kind of guidance to guide him forward and clear the fog to see the moon.
The Sword Skills that were created by oneself were the most suitable Sword Skills for oneself. Chu Mu had always thought so.
The swordsmen who were comprehending did not make a sound to disturb others. Even if they had finished comprehending, they would quietly stand up and then quietly turn around and leave the Mural Palace.
It was a serious crime to disturb others' comprehension. It might even cause an irreconcilable hatred. Only life and death could be separated.
Chu Mu was completely immersed in comprehension. His eyes were fixed on a Grade 5 Sword Skill Mural without blinking. He did not even feel that his eyes were sore.
The process of comprehension seemed to be very slow. It felt as if the passage of time had stopped. The Wheel of Time was no longer rotating and the power of his mind was constantly being consumed. Suddenly, Chu Mu's body trembled slightly and he came out of his state of comprehension. He only felt dizzy and his eyes were sore. Tears seeped out from the corners of his eyes and his eyes were bloodshot.
He sighed and stood up. He turned around and left the Mural Palace drowsily. After a day of comprehension, he did not manage to comprehend anything. As expected, Chu Mu did not feel disappointed.
After leaving the Mural Palace, he returned to the Stone Pavilion. First, he recovered his mind. Then, he recalled the process of comprehension. Although he did not gain anything, Chu Mu still habitually verified what he had seen in the Land of Five Elements.
A few days later, Chu Mu moved again. He went to the Mural Palace and sat in front of the Sword Skill Mural to comprehend the Grade 5 Sword Skill Sword Scar.
He comprehended until his power of mind was exhausted. Once again, he felt dizzy and left. He returned to the Stone Pavilion to recover. Then, he recalled and verified. A few days later, he came to the Mural Palace again and sat cross-legged in front of the Sword Skill Mural to comprehend the Grade 5 Sword Skill Sword Scar.
Day after day, he comprehended again and again. Unknowingly, half of the flying points in Chu Mu's identity token had been consumed. In other words, he had entered the Mural Palace to comprehend the Sword Skill Mural five times.
Now, it was the sixth time.
The previous five times, he did not manage to comprehend anything. However, Chu Mu's confidence did not waver. He did not suffer any setbacks or feel discouraged.
On the sixth attempt, when his mental strength was exhausted once more, a ripple appeared in Chu Mu's tired eyes. It was a smile.
