In Chu Mu's eyes, the sword stele floating in the dark void suddenly emitted an intense golden light.
The golden light was like sharp swords, shooting out in all directions. The dark void was directly torn apart, and the entire void turned golden.
Like sharp swords, the golden light shot forward with an irresistible force, sweeping through the void in all directions. Even Chu Mu was unable to dodge and was directly shot past.
In an instant, the entire void turned into a golden ocean. The Emerald Edge Sword Stele disappeared, and Chu Mu's entire body seemed to be swallowed by the golden ocean, without a trace.
…
"A day has already passed. It's time to call those three little guys out." One of the two old men guarding the entrance of the Emerald Edge Cave said slowly.
"Yes." The other one softly replied, and then fell silent again. The tempered steel door slowly opened.
At the same time, Li Yi, Yuwen Huihua, and Wang Tinghao heard an old voice in their ears.
"Little guys, your time is up. It's time to come out."
Li Yi and the other two couldn't help but tremble. They only felt their consciousness change, as if they were passing through a space-time tunnel and returning to their bodies. They suddenly woke up.
In an instant, a sharp faint golden light flashed past their eyes, and then they returned to silence.
"A day has already passed …" They let out a sigh, and then glanced at Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng, who were motionless with their eyes closed. The three of them reluctantly stood up and walked away, and then turned back to look at the Emerald Edge Sword Stele.
In the underground secret room, three figures appeared at the entrance of the Emerald Edge Cave.
"Thank you, Supreme Elders." Li Yi and the other two bowed to the two old men, but the two old men didn't move at all. They stood there like corpses with their eyes closed, but in reality, they were cultivating.
"Let's go." The three of them didn't mind and turned to walk out. The door of the underground secret room automatically opened.
"Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, what did you guys find?" Wang Tinghao asked as soon as they were outside.
"I …" Li Yi shook his head slightly, and there was a look of regret on his face. He let out a long sigh and said, "What a pity. If I had another day, I would definitely be able to comprehend an Intermediate Metal Attribute Sword Skill. The time was too short, so I didn't gain much."
"Me too." Wang Tinghao also had a look of pity on his face as he sighed, "But at least I didn't waste such a great opportunity. The enlightenment I gained this time is enough to make it easier for me to cultivate the gold attribute swordsmanship in the future. Moreover, because of this enlightenment, I feel that my swordsmanship has an additional edge of gold attribute and it is even more powerful."
Li Yi and Wang Tinghao's gains were the same. This was to be expected. Firstly, it was due to their Insight. Secondly, it was due to the short amount of time they had. Thirdly, it was due to the fact that their main path was not the Metal Path.
"Looks like I'm luckier than Eldest Senior Brother and Third Junior Brother. I barely managed to comprehend a mid-level metal-type sword skill." Yu Wenming said, "However, I still need a few months to perfect it."
"Yes, Second Junior Brother, you mainly cultivate the Metal Sword Qi Art and the Metal Attribute Sword Skill. The comprehension of the Emerald Edge Sword Stele is also of the Metal Attribute. Naturally, it will complement each other." Li Yi nodded. He was a little envious, but he quickly regained his composure. Ever since the battle with Chu Mu, his mental state had been disturbed. After adjusting, his mental state had reached a higher level and it wouldn't be affected so easily.
"I wonder what Xiao Qianfeng and Chu Mu comprehended?" Wang Tinghao suddenly asked with a trace of curiosity in his eyes.
"The two of them are monsters." Yu Wenhua laughed and said, "I reckon that an Intermediate Metal Attribute Sword Skill is nothing to them. It is very likely that they will comprehend an Advanced Metal Attribute Sword Skill."
"That's what I thought too," Li Yi said with a smile.
"Do you think …" A strange expression suddenly appeared in Wang Tinghao's eyes and face. "Will one of them comprehend the Metal Attribute Concept?"
"Metal Attribute Concept?" Li Yi and Yu Wenhua's mouths were wide open. They were stunned for a moment and guessed this possibility.
"This possibility seems … very small …" Li Yi tilted his head slightly and said after hesitating for a moment. His expression was uncertain, and his mental state was almost in chaos again.
"I remember that among all the people in our sect who comprehended the Emerald Edge Sword Stele, only one person comprehended the Metal Attribute Concept." Yu Wenhua said as if he was reminiscing, "This shows how difficult it is to comprehend the Metal Attribute Concept. Although I think that my talent is not bad, if there is nothing special, I will probably have to wait until I reach the Qi Transformation Realm to comprehend it. Therefore, I also think that the possibility of Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng comprehending the Metal Attribute Concept is very small. "
"I am just saying." Wang Tinghao smiled. He also had the same feeling. As for the previous words, they suddenly came out of nowhere. "We will know when they come out. I think that they will at least comprehend an Intermediate Metal Attribute Sword Skill. Maybe even an Advanced Metal Attribute Sword Skill."
…
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed. The two old men once again spoke, waking Xiao Qianfeng up and telling him to leave the Emerald Edge Cave.
Unknowingly, the mist-like Spirit Qi in the Emerald Edge Cave had been used up. There was only a little left.
Xiao Qianfeng opened his eyes. There was an incomparably sharp faint golden light flowing in his eyes. It was so sharp that it actually pierced through the dim air, leaving behind two faint golden traces.
He looked at the Sword Stele, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Chu Mu. A faint Spirit Qi surrounded Chu Mu's body, and it seemed to be somewhat sharp.
Without saying anything, and without disturbing Chu Mu, Xiao Qianfeng left the Emerald Edge Cave. After saluting the two old men, he left the secret underground room.
"Unfortunately, I didn't comprehend the Metal Attribute Concept." After leaving, a trace of regret flashed in Xiao Qianfeng's eyes. He thought to himself, "Although I didn't comprehend the Metal Attribute Sword Skill, I didn't waste my efforts. This time, comprehending the Sword Stele allowed me to fuse a little more with the Boundless Sword Dao Inheritance. Now, I can better execute the Thousand Edge Kill, and its power has increased by thirty percent."
Xiao Qianfeng was also satisfied.
The most important thing for him was the Boundless Sword Dao Inheritance. However, a Sword Dao was broad and profound. Who knew how long it would take to completely inherit it. Comprehending the Sword Stele once and being able to fuse a little more with it would save him a few months or even a year of hard work.
In the end, only Chu Mu was left in the Emerald Edge Cave.
Chu Mu's entire body seemed to be immersed in a sea of golden sword aura. Endless golden sword aura surged out like a torrent. It was unstoppable and unstoppable. Anything that stood in its way was torn apart.
His entire body seemed to have been pierced countless times and torn to pieces. However, Chu Mu's consciousness was very clear and complete. He carefully experienced and felt it.
His original comprehension ability was extremely shocking. Even on the Ancient Sword Continent, it was top-notch. After fusing with his soul, it had multiplied and became even more monstrous.
However, even so, after two full days, Chu Mu still didn't have any clues.
This was also because he had comprehended the Wind Attribute Concept and the Cloud Attribute Concept. Otherwise, with his comprehension ability, he wouldn't need half a day to comprehend the Metal Attribute Concept. After three days, he might even be able to increase the Metal Attribute Concept by twenty percent.
Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry.
Although his goal was to comprehend the Metal Attribute Concept, he also understood that, having already comprehended two attributes, it would be extremely difficult for him to comprehend a third one.
However, Chu Mu still wanted to give it a try. Therefore, he directly focused on the Metal Attribute Concept. As for the Metal Attribute Sword Skill, he completely ignored it. After all, he could only gain something by focusing on one attribute. The Metal Attribute Concept was countless times better than the Metal Attribute Sword Skill.
On the third day, another half a day had passed.
"Metal Attribute Concept … Metal Attribute Concept …" Chu Mu muttered as if he was talking to himself.
Immersed in the golden ocean, it was as if he was immersed in the mysteries of the Metal Attribute. Chu Mu felt as if he was about to push open the door and see the scene behind it, but the door was incomparably sturdy.
"Metal is the sharpest, extremely sharp …"
Chu Mu's mind unconsciously recalled the battle with Xiao Qianfeng.
Although Xiao Qianfeng didn't know what kind of great fortuitous encounter he had, he himself cultivated the Metal Attribute Sword Qi Art and Metal Attribute Sword Skill. Compared to Yuwen Wenhua, it was more extreme and purer.
That extremely sharp aura seemed to have become very clear and appeared in Chu Mu's mind. It seemed as if the surrounding golden color had also become extremely sharp.
"Unbreakable … Nothing can't break … Anything that obstructs will be pierced through by the Metal Attribute … Cut …"
Unknowingly, after two and a half days of settling down, Chu Mu gradually entered a state of enlightenment.
The Spirit Qi within the Azure Edge Cave continuously gathered and revolved around Chu Mu's surroundings, slowly becoming thinner and thinner.
Silently, half a day passed.
"Little guy, time's up. You should come out."
Wandering in the golden ocean, Chu Mu, who felt as if he had also become a sharp golden sword, suddenly paused. The golden color quickly faded and turned into a dark void once again. His consciousness spun around and returned to his body.
"Time's up?" Chu Mu was a little surprised. When he opened his eyes, a sharp golden light flowed out. The Spirit Qi around him that was like mist had completely disappeared.
He walked towards the exit, somewhat unsatisfied, and left the Azure Edge Cave.
