In front of Chu Mu's eyes, it was as if a mountain that pierced through the clouds had appeared. It was like a heavenly sword towering over the earth. Boundless? Vast? The sharpness … came crashing down endlessly. In less than a second, he felt his entire body being suppressed. He couldn't move, and even his thoughts stopped.
He gasped for breath. His face was pale, and he was drenched in sweat. If it weren't for his strong will, he would have collapsed to the ground. Even so, he was still very sad. Not only was his body sad, but his soul was also very sad. It was very painful, as if he was about to die.
The Sword Pavilion Elder nodded imperceptibly, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He was very satisfied with Chu Mu's performance.
Although his Sword Force was only at the small success stage, after tens of years of hard work, his usage of Sword Force had reached the acme of perfection. Let alone Chu Mu, who was at the seventh stage of the Sword Qi Realm, even if it was a tenth stage or even half step into the Qi Transformation Realm, as long as it didn't comprehend Sword Force, under his Sword Force, it would definitely go limp and fall down.
Even some Qi Transformation Realm cultivators who hadn't comprehended sword force couldn't withstand it.
It took a while for Chu Mu to recover, but the shock was still on his face.
"Is this sword aura … so powerful …" Chu Mu exclaimed. At the same time, a small excitement appeared in his heart. The Sword Pavilion Elder's sword aura reminded him of that day in the outer sect when he was about to fight against Wang Feng. Pressing forward courageously and fearlessly, it faintly had a hint of sword aura.
Did that mean he had unknowingly touched sword force?
At the same time, he was also shocked. It was only an instant, not even a second, but it was enough to kill him dozens of times.
"You've already experienced it. This is sword force. I hope it will help you comprehend it." The Sword Pavilion Elder said, "Every swordsman has a different personality, style, and so on. Therefore, there will be some subtle differences in the sword momentum they comprehend. Some swordsmen's Sword Force might be very overbearing, while others might be more gentle. However, Sword Force was Sword Force, and they all had the same characteristics. They were the qualities that a swordsman must have: Sharpness, Sharpness, Indomitable Will, Fearlessness, and Cutting Through Thorns. If you lose these essences, these cores, you will lose the essence of the sword momentum, and you will be doomed to be unable to obtain Dacheng. "
Chu Mu remembered every word of the Sword Pavilion Elder clearly. He knew that these were all useful words of experience, which could help him avoid many detours and give him a clearer cultivation goal.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Go and choose a new Sword Qi Art." The Sword Pavilion Elder nodded and looked at Chu Mu with a faint smile. He said, "If you choose a Sword Qi Art that is of the same origin or similar, it will be easier to change your cultivation, and the chances of making a mistake will be lower. In addition, the second floor is different from the first floor. You only have one chance to choose. Once you choose something, you can't take anything else. Otherwise, you will trigger the alarm. "
"Thank you for your advice." Chu Mu solemnly saluted the Sword Pavilion Elder. He didn't say anything to repay him, but in his heart, he had already remembered the Sword Pavilion Elder's kindness. At the same time, he also knew that the Sword Pavilion Elder knew what he had done in the Left Sword Pavilion, but he didn't pursue it.
He walked into the Right Sword Pavilion. The time was still 30 minutes. The Sword Pavilion Elder didn't make an exception. However, 30 minutes was enough for him to choose.
Chu Mu went straight to the second floor. He felt a layer of Sword Qi blocking his way. He circulated his Sword Qi and passed through.
The Sword Qi Arts on the first floor were all Yellow Rank Low Rank. The Sword Qi Arts on the second floor were all Yellow Rank Middle Rank. As for the third floor, it could be Yellow Rank High Rank. However, Chu Mu didn't have the qualifications to go up because the Sword Qi blocking him was extremely powerful and couldn't be easily touched.
"The Qi Cultivation Sword Qi Art that I cultivate belongs to the Yuan Element. The Sword Qi that I cultivate is neither biased nor gentle. It's also relatively dense and pure, and it won't go astray easily. However, the cultivation speed is relatively slow, and it won't increase or weaken any sword arts of any element." When he reached the second floor, Chu Mu thought to himself, "So, the new Sword Qi Art that I choose should also be of the Yuan Element. After all, the sword arts that I cultivate are of the Wind and Cloud Elements. In the future, I might also be involved in other elements."
Walking up to the second floor, he glanced around. There were still bookshelves on the second floor, but most of them were empty. There were only forty or so bookshelves with books on them. Chu Mu quickly scanned through them. Forty of them were Sword Qi Arts, and a few were secret techniques.
Chu Mu's target was the Sword Qi Art, so he gave up on those secret techniques.
"High Wind Sword Qi Art … It can increase the speed of Wind Sword Arts by five percent. It can also increase the power of High Wind Sword Arts by five percent."
"Thunder Sword Aura Art … Jade Water Sword Aura Art … Looks like these are the Sword Aura Arts that the inner sect three academies use to complement their respective sword arts. Although the 5% increase isn't very obvious, it can still display a considerable effect, especially when both sides are of the same cultivation." Chu Mu muttered to himself and continued to look.
"Flaming Sword Qi Art, can increase the temperature of Fire Sword Arts by five percent … Blazing Sword Qi Art, can increase the power of Fire Sword Arts by five percent …"
"Explosive Flame Sword Qi Art, can increase the explosive power of Fire Sword Arts by five percent …"
"Golden Killing Sword Qi Art, can increase the cutting power of Metal Sword Arts by five percent …"
"Greenwood Sword Qi Art, can increase the power of Wood Sword Arts by five percent …"
"Rocky Earth Sword Qi Art, can increase the power of Earth Sword Arts by five percent …"
Beside each Sword Qi Art, there was a note explaining it. One only needed to take a look to know the content.
Wind Element, Water Element, Fire Element, Metal Element, Wood Element, Earth Element, Lightning Element …
"These Sword Qi Arts all have their own strengths and specialties. Even if they are of the same element, they can increase the power of Sword Arts in many ways. However, they are all very singular and do not cover anything."
"If I majored in the swordsmanship of the Soaring Wind School, I would choose the Soaring Wind Sword Qi Art. Unfortunately, I do not. Therefore, I will choose this one. The Zhongyuan Sword Qi Art. Although it is not of the same lineage as the Energy-Nurturing Sword Qi Art, it is close enough."
Among these Sword Qi Arts, there were very few Elemental Sword Qi Arts. After comparing them, he realized that the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Art was more suitable.
Therefore, he reached for the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Art, but was blocked by a layer of Sword Qi. He hurriedly channeled his Sword Qi to his palm. The Sword Qi dissipated, and he grabbed the book.
"Unfortunately, the second floor is different from the first floor. It is protected by Sword Qi. I only have one chance. Otherwise, if it was the same as the first floor, I would definitely have memorized a secret technique." Chu Mu sighed. He glanced at the secret techniques, grabbed the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Art, and strode down the stairs to the first floor. He went out and walked towards the pavilion elders.
"Let me see what kind of Sword Qi Art you chose." The pavilion elders said as they took the book. "Oh, it is the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Art. You are indeed cultivating an Elemental Sword Qi Art. It is neutral, not biased, and does not weaken. It is suitable for all-round development. It is quite suitable for you. You can complete the conversion in two days. "
As they spoke, the pavilion elders quickly registered it, and handed the book to Chu Mu.
"Remember, you must return this Sword Qi Art within a month," the pavilion elders instructed.
"I will return it after the conversion," Chu Mu said. He put the book away, solemnly bowed to the pavilion elders, and turned to leave.
"With Xiao Qianfeng before us and Chu Mu behind us, it is the fortune of our Azure Edge Sword Sect." The pavilion elders looked at Chu Mu's back as they left, and muttered to themselves, "However, Xiao Qianfeng's cultivation talent is greater than Chu Mu's, but in the future, Chu Mu will definitely surpass Xiao Qianfeng."
