Chu Mu left early in the morning and returned late at night. He was as hardworking as a bee. He did not care about the rumors about him among the outer court disciples. He did not even know that his name had already spread to the inner court and left an impression on many inner court disciples.
On the fourth day, as usual, before the sun had even risen, he stepped into the darkness and arrived at the precipice. First, he began the training of seeing the sword, listening to the sword, and touching the sword. After that, when the sun rose, he began to cultivate the [Origin Nurturing Sword Qi Manual]. He did not seek to break through, only to consolidate his foundation and completely stabilize the peak of the sixth level of the Sword Qi realm.
Xiao Chen completed his eighteen cycles of circulation. He exhaled a breath of air that flew out like a sword and disappeared. When he opened his eyes, they were like flowing water.
"After four days of practice, the peak of the sixth stage of the Sword Qi Realm has been completely consolidated. The side effects of using pills to break through have also been eliminated. Next, I have to focus on breaking through." Staring at the slowly changing sea of clouds, Chu Mu said in a low voice, "But before that, I have to practice the [Protective Sword Qi Art]. Today, I will definitely be able to reach the first stage."
Soon after, the sword qi attached itself to his body and slowly flowed on his skin, tempering his skin.
After three days of practice, the tempering of the sword qi on his skin had become very simple. After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chen felt his body tremble slightly. The sword qi that was tempering his skin stopped and uncontrollably dispersed. On his skin, a thin layer of invisible sword qi was attached.
"I've already reached the first stage?" Xiao Chen happily opened his eyes and pulled out his sword. He pulled up his sleeves and looked carefully. He could faintly feel a layer of invisible sword qi on his skin.
"Haha … the first stage of the [Protective Sword Qi Art] can block the powerful slash of a fine steel sword without breaking." He laughed loudly, "This [Protective Sword Qi Art] is incomplete. It only has the first and second stage. To reach the second stage, you have to continuously use the sword qi to temper your skin. This will cause the sword qi attached to your skin to become denser and stronger, achieving a qualitative change. "
Now that he had finished practicing the [Spirit Nurturing Sword Qi Art] and the [Protective Sword Qi Art], Chu Mu began to practice the basic sword techniques. After that, he practiced the [Flying Cloud Sword Technique], [Soft Cloud Sword Technique], [Clear Wind Sword Technique], [Chaotic Steps], and [Swinging Willow Wind].
Today's cultivation was especially fast. By the time he was done, the sun had yet to set.
"It is said that every Sword Grandmaster will create their own Sword Skill. Now that I am also a Sword Grandmaster, I should create my own Sword Skill," he muttered to himself as he stared at the changing sea of clouds under the setting sun. His gaze was deep and distant as if he was deep in thought.
Zhang Xuan's thoughts were in a mess. For a moment, he couldn't think of what kind of sword art he should create.
Chu Mu was not in a hurry. As far as he knew, the few remaining grandmasters of swordsmanship on Earth took at least four or five years to create their own swordsmanship. It was unlikely that they could create their own swordsmanship overnight.
The setting sun became increasingly red, giving off a feeling of twilight. It was like an incomparably huge fireball, burning with blood-red flames, emitting blood-red rays of light, illuminating the western horizon red, as if it was dyed in blood. The Changing Cloud Sea was also covered in a layer of bright red, which was extremely dazzling.
After watching the sunset for a while, his eyes started to ache, but he still didn't feel anything. He then shifted his gaze and looked at the sea of clouds that was slowly calming down. He only felt that something in his heart seemed to be calming down bit by bit.
As if he had turned into a statue, he sat cross-legged, with the fine steel sword on his legs. He stared at the sea of clouds without blinking until the sea of clouds completely calmed down, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. Because the sun had completely set in the west, the bright red luster faded, and a touch of darkness spread from the edge of the sky, sweeping across the sky. Night fell.
A strong wind blew, whistling with a hint of coldness. Chu Mu's black hair and clothes fluttered, but his body was still motionless. His eyes were still open, faintly shining, staring at the sea of clouds. He was not affected at all, and was immersed in a unique state.
The night was deeper, the wind was stronger, and the night was colder. All the outer disciples had fallen into a deep sleep. On the precipice, a figure was still sitting cross-legged, majestic and motionless, as if it had existed since ancient times. In the darkness, facing the sleeping sea of clouds, his eyes were shining like cold stars.
The night was long, and the night was cold!
Unknowingly, the long and cold night had passed. The sky was faintly shining, like the belly of a fish. A trace of red light, full of vitality and vitality, slowly rose from the eastern horizon, sprinkling the light, waking up the sleeping sea of clouds. The sea of clouds, changed again.
A ray of the morning sun, swept across the top of the sea of clouds, flew over, and fell on the eyes. His eyelids trembled, and in his brain, it was as if something had suddenly exploded, and a kind of enlightenment gushed out like spring water.
Where his heart was, without any thoughts, he jumped up, unsheathed his Sword Light, like a rainbow cutting across the sky, turned, and turned into a wisp of pure white cloud, as if it was drawn from the endless sea of clouds, and surrounded his body.
Flying Cloud Sword Technique … Soft Cloud Sword Technique …
Over and over again, without thinking, without any distracting thoughts, everything was done according to his heart, and he casually drew his sword.
Cloud Birth and Cloud Gathering … Flying Cloud Movement … Cloud Scattering and Cloud Vanishing … Soft Cloud Three Turns …
Style after style was displayed, the killing moves alternated.
Cloud Scattering and Cloud Vanishing … Flying Cloud Movement … Soft Cloud Three Turns … Cloud Birth and Cloud Gathering …
Wisps of cloud intertwined, and white clouds disappeared one after another. His figure disappeared, and only the white clouds remained.
Under the guidance of a trace of enlightenment, the Flying Cloud Sword Technique and Soft Cloud Sword Technique had an unbelievable fusion. Gradually, the Flying Cloud Sword Technique was no longer the Flying Cloud Sword Technique, and the Soft Cloud Sword Technique was no longer the Soft Cloud Sword Technique.
God knows how many times he had practiced, and the morning sun had turned into a blazing sun in the sky. Chu Mu withdrew his sword, and suddenly stopped moving. His aura surged, and the cloud intertwined, as he stared straight at the sea of clouds. Somehow, he felt that he seemed to have comprehended some mysteries about the clouds, just like how he comprehended the mysteries about the wind.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew in from nowhere, causing a piece of white cloud to dissipate instantly. After the gust of wind, the white cloud quickly gathered again. Traces of cloud dispersed and gathered again, and the trajectory of the rotation was clearly visible.
A cool feeling spread through his mind, and inspiration gushed out like spring water, breaking through the last layer of enlightenment. The sea of clouds in front of him seemed to be collapsing and twisting, quickly turning into nothingness. Suddenly, there was an explosion like the Big Bang. His entire body seemed to explode along with it, merging with the surrounding Sword Qi. Waves of Sword Qi forced into him, and the Sword Qi in his Dantian moved naturally, merging with the external Sword Qi in an instant.
His meridians were forcefully expanded, and the blockages were also forcefully penetrated by the internal and external sword Qi. The sword Qi was unbelievably majestic, like the surging waters of a great river, with horrifying waves. All the obstacles were broken, and the sword Qi in his body was so strong that it seemed like it was going to break out of his body. He could not help but roar at the sky.
The sword Qi soared into the clouds, and the sword chime shook the nine heavens. He turned around and stabbed out, and the sword Qi surged like waves. A two meter long white cloud spun out at an extremely fast speed, and flew towards the mountain wall. It hit and exploded, turning into streaks of white cloud sword Qi that cut the mountain wall, making a sizzling sound.
The white clouds dissipated, and the sword qi dissipated. On the mountain wall, there was a hole that was about a foot in diameter and an inch deep. With the hole as the center, it radiated out in all directions. There was a series of two meters long and an inch deep scratches. There was still some sword qi left.
"The sword skills created by the sword masters on earth are the use of external sword Qi. The sword skill I created can use both external sword Qi and internal sword Qi, and it can also be combined. It evolved from the Flying Cloud Sword Art and the Soft Cloud Sword Art. I will call it the Shocking Cloud Kill. The power at the center is not weaker than the Killing Breeze, and the sword Qi at the edge is only slightly weaker. It is a middle level sword skill, and it can cover an area of four meters in diameter, causing mass damage. " Chu Mu looked at the sword Qi marks on the mountain wall, and said to himself, "Apart from that, I have also comprehended a little bit about the mysteries of clouds. Also, my internal sword Qi cultivation has broken through the minor cycle and reached the major cycle. The amount of sword Qi is twice as much as the peak of the sixth level, and twice as pure. The difference is really big. After two days of consolidation, I can apply to become an inner disciple. At that time, Wang Feng will die. "
