Chapter 67 - Wind Painting Scroll

The sound of gears turning rang out. In Chu Mu's shock, the large bed in Chu Dangxiong's room slowly moved aside, revealing the floor. Following that, the floor slowly split open, revealing a staircase that led downwards.

"Our Chu Clan's secret room was built by the first Clan Head with great effort. It is extremely secretive. Only the Clan Head of the Chu Clan knows about it." Chu Dangxiong saw the shock on Chu Mu's face and smiled proudly, "Now, other than me and Xingkong, there is also you."

As he spoke, Chu Dangxiong took out a glowing pearl and walked down the stairs. Chu Mu followed. The floor above closed automatically and the bed returned to its original position.

The light emitted by the Bright Light Pearl was very bright. It illuminated the surrounding ten meters as if it was daytime. The effect was shocking.

As they walked down the stairs, light footsteps broke the silence. After walking down about twenty steps, they were about five meters away from the ground. There was a thick black metal door in front of them.

"The mechanism is here." Chu Dangxiong said. He circulated his sword Qi and pressed down on a brick.

Immediately, the brick caved in and the creaking sound rang out again. The thick black metal door slowly moved to the side and a two meter wide entrance appeared.

Chu Dangxiong and Chu Mu walked into the secret room one after the other. The metal door closed automatically.

Using the light from the Bright Light Pearl, Chu Mu looked around. The secret room was not big. It was about a hundred square meters. There was a bed, a table, and a chair.

Chu Mu discovered that there was a scroll of something on the table.

"Did you discover the secret of the secret room?" Chu Dangxiong turned his head and looked at Chu Mu.

Chu Mu did not answer directly. Instead, he looked around carefully again. Finally, his gaze landed on the scroll on the table. However, he was not sure.

"Do you see that picture scroll?" Chu Dangxiong immediately pointed at the picture scroll on the table not far away. He walked over and said, "This picture scroll is called the Wind Picture Scroll. It was obtained by the first Clan Head of the Chu Clan in an Emptiness Realm. It contains a great secret. The first generation Patriarch had comprehended the Concept of Wind from this painting. In the future, every generation of Patriarchs or extremely outstanding disciples of our Chu Clan will have the qualifications to enter the secret room to comprehend this picture scroll. However, there are very few who can comprehend the concept of wind from it. "

Chu Mu was shocked once more. He didn't think that the seemingly unremarkable thing on the table was actually a treasure that could allow one to comprehend the concept of wind.

 

If the other families and sword sects knew that the Chu Clan had such a treasure, they would definitely be greedy. At that time, it would be the end of the Chu Clan.

"Very surprised, isn't it? That's why, throughout the generations, only the family head was able to know about the existence of the secret chamber. Chu Dangxiong also knew the severity of the situation: "Furthermore, my grandfather, who was the previous Chu Family Patriarch, was extremely talented, the first time he saw the picture scroll. He had comprehended the Concept of Wind from this painting scroll, and he had also felt a trace of something outside of the Concept of Wind. However, it was too obscure and difficult to understand, so he was unable to truly comprehend it. Therefore, he guessed that if someone who had already comprehended the Concept of Wind looked at this painting scroll for the first time, perhaps they would have an extraordinary harvest.

"However, everyone only has one chance to comprehend it. The second time is the same as looking at a normal painting scroll, and there will be no harvest. And the people of our Chu Clan who are able to comprehend the Concept of Wind are all comprehended from the Wind Painting Scroll. " Chu Dangxiong sighed regretfully. Shortly after, his eyes lit up: "But you are different. You haven't seen the Wind Painting Scroll yet, but you have already comprehended the Concept of Wind. Perhaps you will gain something from the Wind Painting Scroll."

Chu Dangxiong's words caused Chu Mu to have a trace of anticipation.

"Alright, I won't say anything unnecessary. The time it takes to comprehend is usually not too long. At most, it will take half a day. I will come back in half a day." Chu Dangxiong said. He left the Bright Light Bead behind, turned around, and left in large strides. He opened the metal door and left, leaving Chu Mu alone in the secret room.

"Wind Painting Scroll …" Chu Mu said in a low voice. He walked towards the table in large strides, and his gaze fell on the painting scroll on the table.

The painting scroll was closed, and he needed to open it himself.

Chu Mu placed the Hundred Refinement Sword to the side and took a deep breath. He adjusted his breathing, allowing his breathing to be even and his heart to be calm, without any distracting thoughts.

Shortly after, he touched the painting scroll with one hand. Immediately, there was a strange fluctuation that spread to his fingertips.

With a light movement of his finger, the painting scroll slowly unfolded. In front of Chu Mu's eyes, there seemed to be wisps of blue wind blowing against his face. Beside his ears, there was a light whistling sound of the wind. His entire person seemed to be surrounded by the wind.

 

"This place … could it be an ocean of wind?" In front of Chu Mu's eyes, there was only the blue wind. It constantly blew from left to right, and from right to left. It was endless. His entire person seemed to be in the middle of an ocean of wind.

He felt as if he was floating, flying, under the contrast of countless cool winds.

Gradually, Chu Mu was intoxicated by it, unable to extricate himself.

The cool wind gradually intensified, becoming stronger and stronger. It became the whistling of a gale. The gale intensified, becoming the roaring of a gale. The gale intensified, becoming the roaring of a storm.

Breeze, cool wind, gale, gale, storm …

The wind became stronger and stronger. Chu Mu's eyes were dazzled, filled with a dense blue color. His entire person was like a small wooden board floating on a stormy sea, being washed by countless torrential waves. He was drowned in the ocean of wind, lost.

Unknowingly, Chu Mu felt as if he had also become a gale. Breeze, cool wind, gale, gale, storm …

The mystery of the wind … the feeling of the wind … the comprehension of the wind … little by little, it deepened …

Chu Mu didn't know when it happened, but he felt that the wind had changed again.

It became sharp and incomparably fierce. Whether it was the breeze, cool wind, gale, gale, or storm, they all turned into wind swords. It was as if a sword was slashed out in the ocean of wind. Immediately, there was a breeze, cool wind, gale, gale, and storm swords that rushed out, strangling heaven and earth.

The wind was roaring, roaring three words, reverberating in heaven and earth.

This sword seemed to be issued to him, making Chu Mu's heart tremble. He felt as if he was being strangled and torn to pieces. Subconsciously, he operated the sword qi, condensing his own aura to resist. He felt as if he was going against heaven and earth, and he was insignificant.

However, the sharpness was tough, pressing forward fearlessly, cutting through all kinds of obstacles, all kinds of things surged in his body again.

Suddenly, the world spun, as if the wind and clouds changed, and time and space flowed backward. Chu Mu's body shook and he woke up.

The blue color disappeared. The breeze, cool wind, gale, gale, storm, all disappeared. Everything was like a dream. Chu Mu's eyes flashed with some confusion.

In front of him, the wind picture scroll had been completely opened, and all the strange phenomena had disappeared. There was a picture on the picture scroll. It was a sword, a sword that was slashed out. Under the sword, wisps of blue wind blew forward, and it looked very simple.

It was hard to imagine that such a simple picture, which looked not exquisite at all, was actually a supreme treasure.

 

However, Chu Mu knew that the feeling just now was not a dream. This picture contained a big secret. He stared at the picture scroll, as if he wanted to see the secret in it.
