Tenth stage of Sword Qi Realm

From then on, Chu Mu had an additional item on his training list: Dual Sword Arts.

However, Chu Mu did not receive a complete teaching of the Dual Sword Arts. When he was on Earth, he had only found the introductory and part of the essences, as well as some simple descriptions of Dacheng and Perfection.

Therefore, on the path of cultivating the Dual Sword Arts, it was decided that Chu Mu would have to fumble around on his own. The difficulty would be ten times more difficult than cultivating a single sword. Even with Chu Mu's powerful perception, he did not have any clues at the moment. He could only take out two hours every day to cultivate the Dual Sword Arts and try his best to familiarize himself with it. In addition, he would search for clues and feelings while cultivating, and slowly deduce them.

After finding some time, Chu Mu applied to an elder of the Sword Faction to enter the main hall's library.

The books in the library were not about Sword Qi Arts, swordsmanship, movement techniques, or secret techniques. They were mainly books about the general knowledge of the Ancient Sword Continent and so on. Among them were things commonly seen in the Eastern Sword Region, especially in the Great Kun Dynasty.

Chu Mu followed the book list and looked at the introduction on the side of the book. He roughly knew what this book mainly recorded and described. This way, it would be easier for him to search.

The main palace's Book Storing Pavilion actually wasn't very large. Inside, there weren't more than a hundred ancient books. Therefore, Chu Mu quickly swept through nearly a hundred ancient books and gradually had an idea in his heart.

Walking to a row of bookshelves, he reached out and took out a book. The cover had the words "Ferocious Beast Encyclopedia" on it. Then, he turned around and took out a "Spiritual Medicine Encyclopedia" from another row of bookshelves. Finally, Chu Mu found a "Miscellaneous Wonderland".

Although he wanted to read through all the books in the library to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge, Chu Mu also knew that haste made waste. It would take a long time to finish reading nearly a hundred books.

Therefore, he only chose the three books that were most useful to him at the moment. After registering them, he brought them back to his own building.

Chu Mu had to return these three books within three months. In three months, with his ability, not only would he be able to finish reading them, but he would also be able to memorize all of the contents.

 

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Every day, Chu Mu practiced the Shangyuan Sword Qi Technique at a fixed time, constantly purifying his own Sword Qi. He had already reached the peak of the peak of Level Nine, which was almost equivalent to stepping into Level Ten.

According to Chu Mu's own estimation, under normal circumstances, he would be able to break through to Level Ten in about two or three months and become a Level Ten Sword Qi Realm swordsman.

Thinking that after his cultivation broke through to Level Ten, there seemed to be another place to go, Chu Mu could not help but feel a little curious. He wanted to ask about it and understand it clearly. However, his cultivation was about to break through, so he put this curiosity aside. Everything would be clear after he broke through.

In addition to practicing the Shangyuan Sword Qi Technique, Chu Mu mainly spent the rest of his time on practicing the Golden Edge Swordsmanship, the Rolling Cloud Swordsmanship, the Following Cloud Swordsmanship, and the Dual Swordsmanship.

Currently, the swordsmanships he had mastered were the basic swordsmanship, the entry level swordsmanship, the Flying Cloud Swordsmanship, the low-level swordsmanship, the Soft Cloud Swordsmanship, the High Wind Swordsmanship, and the Following Cloud Swordsmanship, the mid-level swordsmanship, the Clear Wind Swordsmanship, the Rolling Cloud Swordsmanship, and the Following Cloud Swordsmanship, and the high-level swordsmanship, the Golden Edge Swordsmanship. As for the sword skills, there were the mid-level swordsmanship, the Green Wolf Double Kill, the Green Wolf Howling at the Moon, the self-created Shocking Cloud Kill, and the Surpassing Level Sword Skill, the Form of Wind, which he had inherited from the Painting of Wind.

Regardless of whether it was the swordsmanship or the sword skills, Chu Mu spent time and effort to practice them. Therefore, the Flying Cloud Swordsmanship and the Soft Cloud Swordsmanship were combined to create the mid-level sword skill, Shocking Cloud Kill. Now, Chu Mu was about to perfect the Rolling Cloud Swordsmanship and the Following Cloud Swordsmanship, and then extract the essence of these two swordsmanships and integrate them into the Shocking Cloud Kill. Once it was completed, the power of the Shocking Cloud Kill would definitely increase significantly. It might even reach the bottleneck of a high-level sword skill.

As for the Soaring Wind Swordsmanship and the Breeze Swordsmanship, Chu Mu had already perfected them. He was also wondering if he should integrate the essence of the Soaring Wind Swordsmanship into the Breeze Swordsmanship to increase the power of the Breeze Swordsmanship. However, because he possessed the Surpassing Level Sword Skill, the Form of Wind, and had also mastered the theory of the Form of Wind, he had also simplified it. As long as his cultivation level increased, he would be able to perform the simplified version of the Form of Wind. It would be extremely powerful and would be a trump card.

 

Therefore, Chu Mu temporarily put aside the fusion of the Wind Swordsmanship. After all, he needed time to practice the high-level Golden Edge Swordsmanship. He had to master this swordsmanship as soon as possible and master it until he reached Dacheng's level of perfection. Only then would he be able to fully unleash its power.

As for the Green Wolf Swordsmanship, the Green Wolf Double Kill, and the Green Wolf Howling at the Moon, Chu Mu thought that if it was possible, he would integrate them into a single sword skill, which would be even more powerful. However, this was only a theoretical idea at the moment. It had not been put into practice yet.

Time. Chu Mu felt that he needed time too much. He had never needed time as much as he did now. There were too many things that he needed to do.

After half a month, he had finished reading the three ancient books. They were all engraved in his mind.

"It turns out that the so-called Holy Fruit does not necessarily have a name. It is called the Holy Fruit of Qinglan because it appeared in the Virtual Realm of Qinglan. If it appeared in other Virtual Realms, it would have another name. The Holy Fruit is also divided into grades. The Holy Fruit that I have is between the Upper Grade and the Supreme Grade. It can also be regarded as a semi Supreme Grade. It is only useful for swordsmen below the Qi Transformation Realm. " Closing the book, Chu Mu silently said: "This sacred fruit's effect, when eaten alone, can only raise seventh to tenth rank cultivation talent by one rank. For first to sixth rank, it doesn't have much of an effect. The restriction is very large. However, my cultivation has not yet reached the Qi Transformation Realm, and my cultivation talent is only at Level Nine. It is just right for me. If I grind the horn of the Dead Wood Horned Python into powder and mix it with the Holy Fruit, the efficacy of the Holy Fruit can be maximized. It is also possible to increase the cultivation talent by two grades. It can also increase the cultivation talent from Level Seven to Level Six. It is really amazing. "

After reading the ancient book, Chu Mu had already understood everything that he needed to know. What Wei Hong said that day was not false. Moreover, Chu Mu also knew that the three stones that contained pure spiritual energy were called Spirit Stones. According to the identification method, they were Lower Grade Spirit Stones. At the same time, Chu Mu also knew that only swordsmen in the Qi Transformation Realm could absorb spiritual energy from Spirit Stones. He was an exception.

"In that case, I will start to improve my cultivation talent." Chu Mu slowly stood up and said to Li Wei. Then, he left the pavilion with the Holy Fruit of Qing Lan, the horn of the Dead Wood Horned Python, and the three ancient books. He once again went to the main hall.

 

First, he returned the three ancient books to the library. Then, he went to the alchemy room to grind the horn of the Dead Wood Horned Python into powder and mixed it with a glass of water. Once again, Chu Mu went to the cultivation room and applied to enter again.

"This Chu Mu used the cultivation room not long ago. Why is he using it again?" The elder in charge of the cultivation room was puzzled. After all, the elite disciples rarely came to the cultivation room. "Forget it. As the first disciple of the sect, it will always be special."

The heavy stone door of the cultivation room was closed. Chu Mu sat cross-legged on the soft futon and took out the Holy Fruit of Qing Lan.

Chu Mu closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. He got rid of all distracting thoughts and thoughts. Then, he picked up the glass of water mixed with the horn of the Dead Wood Horned Python and poured it into his mouth.

This thing had no taste at all. It was dry and tasted like chewing wax. Chu Mu did not taste it carefully. He picked up the Holy Fruit of Qing Lan and threw it into his mouth.

Suddenly, his mouth was full of juice. The sour taste made Chu Mu frown. It was five or six times more sour than a sour lemon. If he had not been mentally prepared, he would have spat it out as soon as it entered his mouth. It was a waste of the Holy Fruit.

It was as if he was forcing himself to swallow it. The sour taste entered his body from his esophagus. It was so sour that Chu Mu trembled uncontrollably. He almost could not sit still. This feeling could not be described with words. The pores all over his body opened up, his scalp was numb, and he had goosebumps.

The mixture of acid and water produced a strange change in his body. It suddenly turned into a strange force that was different from spiritual energy and sword qi. It began to spread around his body little by little, penetrating into the meridians, bones, blood, and muscles of his body and constantly exploding.

Chu Mu immediately had a strange feeling. This feeling was completely different from carrying the sword qi. It was a change that really came from the depths of his body. It felt as if it began to change from the depths of his cells.

At this moment, some of the things in his body that could not be touched no matter how much he cultivated were touched. The impurities and filth contained in them were all shattered and annihilated under the impact of this strange explosion. The things that were originally good were further strengthened.

It was a magical feeling that could not be described. Chu Mu's consciousness became in a trance. It was as if he had left his body. His mind wandered and floated. He seemed to be able to clearly feel the various changes in his body. It was as if there was a small universe exploding in his body. The changes were unpredictable. It was as if he was dreaming when he was half asleep and half awake. It was unrealistic.

 

It felt as if a century had passed, but also as short as a second. Chu Mu suddenly woke up. It was as if he had slept enough. He was full of energy and his mind was unusually clear. It seemed that he could even clearly feel the flow of the air around him.

With a thought, his body reacted like lightning. He jumped up gently. Chu Mu suddenly felt that his body was unprecedentedly light. It was as if his weight had been reduced by half. He could move more quickly and freely than before.

He landed softly and silently, like a feather falling.

Looking around, Chu Mu's eyes were shining. There was a faint smile on his face, and he was slightly excited. Although he did not know whether his cultivation talent had risen to Level Eight or Level Seven, Chu Mu was very clear that his cultivation talent must have surpassed Level Nine.

He sat down again, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind. His mind quickly calmed down. Even his breathing became long and slow, as if it had disappeared. He looked inside himself and carefully felt the changes in his body. From his Dantian as the starting point, he followed the meridians, bones, blood, and muscles. Chu Mu felt as if he had been reborn.

This was a qualitative change. It was a deep internal change in the body. It could not be seen from the outside.

His heart unconsciously moved. A flash of inspiration naturally flashed through his mind. It was purely an instinct. The Upper Origin Sword Qi in his Dantian was naturally transported out of his Dantian. It followed the meridians that had been changed from the inside and started to circulate.

Suddenly, Chu Mu acutely felt that the speed at which the Sword Qi was transported had at least doubled. In other words, the time it took for him to transport a great cycle was now half of what it used to be.

Not long after, the first great cycle was completed. The second great cycle continued without stopping.

Chu Mu could now transport 30 great cycles. One great cycle at a time. Not long after, Chu Mu completed the 30th great cycle. The Sword Qi followed the meridians and returned to his Dantian. Just as Chu Mu was about to stop, the Sword Qi in his Dantian suddenly shook. It sped up uncontrollably and then rushed out of his Dantian. It was as if a precious sword had been unsheathed and wreaked havoc in his meridians.

Wherever the berserk Sword Qi passed, Chu Mu's expression changed slightly. He only felt that his meridians were about to be torn apart. There was a burst of pain, causing him to involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

 

In a flash, the berserk Sword Qi automatically circulated one great cycle and then quickly moved to the second great cycle. Chu Mu guarded his mind. He felt that something big was about to happen. He looked internally at the berserk Sword Qi in his meridians. He was surprised to find that his meridians seemed to be expanding bit by bit, although it was not obvious.

Suddenly, Chu Mu's ears seemed to ring with muffled thunder-like noises. The rumbling continued without end. The Sword Aura in his meridians suddenly paused and exploded. It circulated at a speed several times faster than before. After one round, it all rushed into his Dantian and filled it up, as if it was going to burst his Dantian.

Chu Mu's mind shook unconsciously. In a moment of daze, it was as if his soul had exploded. When he came back to his senses, everything around him had become clearer. He seemed to be able to feel the Spiritual Qi around him.

"What's going on?" Chu Mu was puzzled at first. He carefully sensed it and found that his Sword Qi seemed to have become thicker and purer. He could not help but be overjoyed. "My Sword Qi cultivation base … has broken through …"

Indeed, Chu Mu's Sword Qi cultivation base had broken through from the peak of the ninth stage to the beginning of the tenth stage. The quantity of Sword Qi had doubled, and its purity had doubled as well. It had become even more powerful. Following that, Chu Mu tried to move the external Sword Qi. He found that the range of the external Sword Qi had increased from six meters to seven meters.

"Cultivation talent has increased … Sword Qi cultivation base has broken through … The range of the external Sword Qi has increased … This can be considered as three consecutive blessings …" Muttering to himself, Chu Mu stretched out a finger. As the Upper Yuan Sword Qi moved, a sharp and threatening pale white light shot out from his finger. In an instant, it had reached half an inch, its sharpness unparalleled. With a light stroke of his finger, the air was sliced in half like a cake, leaving behind a clear white mark. "A tenth phase swordsman is able to condense a sword gleam. The might of the sword gleam is much greater than that of sword qi."

Withdrawing the Sword Qi, Chu Mu's heart gradually calmed down. He stood up, opened the heavy stone door and walked out of the cultivation room. He explained to the Elder and then headed towards the elite disciple area.

"This Chu Mu, in one cultivation room, his cultivation unexpectedly broke through to the tenth phase … he truly deserves to be called the number one disciple of the sect …" This elder stared at Chu Mu's departing figure and sighed to himself. He had a feeling that comparing oneself to others would only infuriate oneself to death, and comparing goods to goods, one would throw away goods.
