"My efforts were not in vain. I finally managed to comprehend a trace of the outline." Chu Mu thought to himself. He stood up and left. Even though his mind was exhausted and his head was dizzy, he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.
As usual, Chu Mu returned to the Stone Pavilion to recover his mental strength. After a few days, Chu Mu entered the murals palace for the seventh time.
The beginning was difficult, but after entering, he found a direction to move forward. He was no longer blind.
The seventh time, the effect was better than the sixth time. Even though it was only a slight increase, it still made Chu Mu happy.
Dragging his tired body, he returned …
The eighth time …
The ninth time …
The tenth time …
The flying points in Chu Mu's identity sword token were all used up.
However, he didn't completely comprehend the grade 5 sword skill. There were still some things that he didn't understand. He still needed to continue comprehending. However, he didn't have any flying points left.
"It seems like I have to borrow some first," Chu Mu said helplessly.
Borrowing flying points depended on who it was. It wasn't something that could be casually borrowed.
Chu Mu went to find Zhong Muchen.
"How much do you need?" Although surprised, Zhong Muchen didn't refuse. Instead, he asked straightforwardly.
Since he had already comprehended the Imperial Sword Technique, he focused on the cultivation of the Imperial Sword Technique. At the very least, he wouldn't need to enter the murals palace to comprehend the murals for a year or two.
"A thousand." Chu Mu said bluntly. A thousand flying points could allow him to comprehend the murals two more times. Chu Mu estimated that he could comprehend the murals two more times. At that time, he could go into seclusion.
"Fortunately, it's only a thousand." Zhong Muchen let out a sigh of relief. Although he had been in Soaring Sky Academy for many years and had accumulated quite a bit of Fairy Points, he was still able to take out 1000 points. If Chu Mu wanted more, such as 345000 points, he wouldn't have it.
Zhong Muchen took out his Identity Sword Token and gave over a thousand Fairy Points to Chu Mu. Chu Mu didn't say when he would return the Fairy Points, and Zhong Muchen didn't have any intention of asking Chu Mu to return the Fairy Points.
Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry to leave after obtaining the 1,000 Skysoar Points. Instead, he fought with Zhong Muchen. Zhong Muchen's attainments in the Imperial Sword Technique had become more proficient, so Chu Mu shared some of his cultivation experiences for Zhong Muchen to comprehend.
This was the eleventh time he entered the mural palace. Once again, he tried to comprehend the grade-5 sword mark on the mural.
In this world, there is a saying that good preparation leads to success.
Although he gained nothing from the first ten attempts, it was not a waste. At the very least, it allowed Chu Mu to gradually clarify his path and find the right direction.
As for the sixth to tenth comprehension, it allowed Chu Mu to slowly comprehend the essence within. Now, in the eleventh comprehension, he had combined the comprehensions from the first ten comprehensions, allowing him to advance by leaps and bounds.
After exhausting his mental strength, Chu Mu left the mural palace with a heart full of joy. He was finally convinced that if nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to comprehend the mural completely after one more attempt.
A few days later, Chu Mu came to the mural palace once again.
When his mental strength was exhausted, Chu Mu was incomparably happy. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the essence of various grade-5 sword skills. There was no specific grade-5 sword skill, only the purest essence of grade-5 sword skills.
Bringing along the essence of the grade-5 sword skills, Chu Mu returned to the Stone Pavilion to recover his mental strength.
After recovering his mental strength, Chu Mu went into seclusion. In other words, before he came out of seclusion, no one was allowed to disturb him.
… …
After spending six thousand Fairy Points and more than a month's time, he had finally comprehended the essence of the grade-5 sword skills. After comparing it with what he had seen in the Land of Five Elements, he could begin to create his own grade-5 sword skills.
In the Stone Pavilion, Chu Mu was in seclusion. He had cut off all communication with the outside world and was fully immersed in comprehending the sword skills.
In the Land of Five Elements, the silhouette of the Five Elements War Emperor was condensed in Chu Mu's Spiritual World. Every swing of the sword was clearly displayed. Chu Mu was using his amazing memory to clearly recreate the battle of the Five Elements War Emperor.
When the sword was slashed out, a pure golden light broke through the sky. The sharpness was earth-shattering, causing the world to lose its colour. The space was as fragile as tofu.
Metal gave birth to water, water gave birth to wood, wood gave birth to fire, fire gave birth to earth, and earth gave birth to metal. Under this cycle, the power of metal increased layer by layer, reaching an unimaginable level.
The five elements reinforced and restrained each other. Under the suppression of each other, the power would be reduced. Under the enhancement of each other, the power would increase exponentially.
Many people knew about this, but only a few could comprehend it and grasp it. It was extremely rare.
Comprehension, control, power of control, and other conditions were indispensable.
Chu Mu did not lack the power he had grasped. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, he had all of them. He did not lack comprehension either. He could be called a monster. Similarly, he did not lack control. His powerful soul energy allowed him to possess extraordinary Divine Sense. His pursuit and self-training had pushed his control of Divine Sense to the limit. His control had also reached the limit.
When everything was ready, it was time to create a grade-5 sword skill.
The Five Elements War Emperor in his Spiritual World was constantly slashing out with his sword. It was either a metal-elemental attack, a fire-elemental attack, a water-elemental defense, or a wood-elemental attack.
Every time he comprehended it, his understanding and application of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth deepened.
Seclusion meant a long time.
Chu Mu didn't know how long it would take for him to successfully create the outline of a grade-5 sword skill.
Yes, the outline was his requirement. As long as he could create the outline, the next step would be to perfect it. This process usually took a long time and couldn't be rushed.
Chu Mu's state of mind was steady. He wasn't arrogant or impatient, and he was progressing step by step.
Day after day, he comprehended the Five Elements War Emperor's swordsmanship. Little by little, he verified the essence of the grade-5 sword skill from the murals in the palace.
"The five elements reinforce each other …" Chu Mu had always grasped the key point, which was the five elements reinforce each other.
His goal from the beginning was very clear, which was to create a grade-5 sword skill based on the power of the five elements.
Of course, a sword skill based on the power of the five elements wasn't necessarily a grade-5 sword skill. The so-called grade-5 sword skill was the perfect combination of the power of the five elements. The power released was far above that of a grade-5 sword skill. As for whether it was comparable to a grade-6 sword skill or surpassed it, Chu Mu didn't know.
Even if the Five Elements War Emperor was a giant formed by the combination of the five elements and possessed the power of the five elements, he couldn't perform a grade-5 sword skill, let alone a human.
Of course, according to the records in the book, there was a possibility of comprehending a grade-5 sword skill after consuming the Five Elements Sacred Fruit. As for how big the possibility was, Chu Mu didn't know. It could be a bit or a little bit.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Fortunately, Chu Mu didn't need to eat or drink. With the nourishment of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, his body could be maintained at its peak. Especially after refining the Origin of the Wood Image and integrating it into his body, the Origin of the Wood Image was constantly absorbing the power of wood from the heaven and earth. Although the absorption was slight, it was continuous. It also constantly released a trace of vitality into his heart, which made the vitality of his heart flourish and improve.
With the power of his heart, it was like a water pump, a trace of vitality was integrated into his blood and circulated throughout his body. Imperceptibly, his body was strengthened little by little.
In this way, not only was Chu Mu's body always at its peak, but it was also constantly strengthening. In the long run, his body's strength would gradually increase and become more and more powerful.
Realizing this, Chu Mu was very happy. The stronger his body was, the higher the frequency of the vibration of the Mountain Quake Strength. When his body was strong to a certain extent, the vibration frequency would also increase to a certain extent. At that time, he might be able to transform it into a higher level of the Earth Quake Strength.
After three months of continuous meditation, Chu Mu finally understood something.
He stood up and unsheathed his sword. Holding the No Return Sword in his hand, the sword reflected a cold brilliance like water.
Chu Mu got into a starting position and activated the power of the five Ultimacies with his Divine Thought.
The five Ultimacies were supported on the No Return Sword with the Undying Sword Intent as the foundation. Suddenly, the No Return Sword flashed with a myriad of colors.
He controlled the contact between the Gold Ultimacy and the Water Ultimacy. According to the principle of the five elements engendering each other, the Gold Ultimacy was integrated into the Water Ultimacy. Swordsmen all knew that the five elements engendered each other. Perhaps they had seen it with their own eyes. However, they didn't know how to do it. Chu Mu didn't know either. But after three months of meditation, he had gained something and was now putting it into practice.
Gold engendered water. How did gold engender water? It was a mystery.
However, Chu Mu succeeded. Although it was slow, the integration of the Gold Ultimacy into the Water Ultimacy made the Water Ultimacy even stronger.
After that, the Water Ultimacy became the Wood Ultimacy. The Water Ultimacy could nourish the growth of the Wood Ultimacy. Under the engendering of the Water Ultimacy, the Wood Ultimacy was like a sapling, growing strong and healthy.
The Wood Ultimacy could generate fire. It was like adding oil to the fire. Instantly, the power of the Fire Ultimacy increased tremendously.
After the fire, it was scorched earth. Therefore, the Fire Ultimacy gave birth to the Earth.
The Earth Ultimacy gave birth to Gold.
When Chu Mu completed the process of Gold engendering Water, Water engendering Wood, Wood engendering Fire, Fire engendering Earth, and Earth engendering Gold, it took him fifteen minutes. He couldn't help but shake his head.
"Too slow. If I use fifteen minutes to execute a sword skill, I would have been killed countless times." He muttered to himself and started cultivating again.
The most important thing now was to increase the speed of the Five Elements engendering each other.
Only by achieving the engendering of the five elements in a few breaths or even an instant would he be able to do it.
He worked hard and cultivated slowly without stopping.
Day after day, month after month, the efficiency of the Five Elements engendering each other gradually increased. Chu Mu also tried to integrate the Sword Intent into the sword after the Five Elements engendering each other. The power was indeed much stronger than a Fourth Grade Sword Skill.
Moreover, this Fifth Grade Sword Skill was still in its infancy. As it was perfected, the power of the sword skill could continue to increase and become even stronger.
