With a swoosh, the faint white sword aura cut through the air, leaving a faint trace in the air and slowly dissipating.
A sorrowful cry was heard. A mid-level beast that was equivalent to an eighth level swordsman was cut in half by the sword aura in an instant. Its body was split into two, blood spurting out wildly as it fell to the ground and died.
"The sword aura at the peak of ninth level is not only thicker, but also purer. My overall strength has increased by at least fifty percent. Most importantly, my current sword aura cultivation can already allow me to use a simplified version of Wind Phase. "Chu Mu put his sword back into its sheath and his eyes lit up as he silently spoke.
Today was the twentieth day since Chu Mu entered the Green Orchid Void Realm. The opening time of the Green Orchid Void Realm was usually a month. According to Elder Luo and the others, when the Green Orchid Void Realm was about to close, there would be a violent tremor accompanied by the darkening of the sky. At that time, no matter what he was doing, he had to let go as soon as possible and rush to the exit of the Void Realm to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he did not leave in time, he would be trapped in the space-time gap along with the Green Orchid Void Realm.
Even if Chu Mu left the Green Orchid Void Realm now, he would have no regrets. This was because his harvest was not small.
Three stones that contained pure spiritual energy, a gold elemental high-grade sword art, a yellow grade sword qi art, and over a hundred low-grade spiritual herbs and five mid-grade spiritual herbs. Such a harvest was definitely one of the best he had ever seen.
Strictly speaking, a small portion of Chu Mu's loot was found by himself. Most of them were loot obtained after killing the Green Orchid Sword Sect disciples. So far, the number of disciples of the Green Orchid Sword Sect who died under his sword had reached six. However, the total number of disciples who entered the Green Orchid Void Realm was only twenty.
"If I can completely master this Golden Edge Swordsmanship, my strength will definitely increase significantly."
"However, the advanced swordsmanship is indeed an advanced swordsmanship. The mystery in it is far beyond the middle-grade swordsmanship. Even with my extraordinary perception and talent in swordsmanship, after ten days of practice, I have only cultivated the basic style of the thirteen basic styles." If he wanted Dacheng, he would have to spend a lot of time and effort. Only after mastering the thirteen basic forms of Dacheng can I cultivate the final high tier killer move, it will be more efficient and the full power of the high tier killer move can be displayed. "
The Golden Edge Sword Art, also known as the Golden Edge Thirteen Styles, referred to the thirteen basic styles. Finally, there was only one high-grade killer move. According to Chu Mu's deductions, the power of this high tier killer move was extremely terrifying. It was very likely to be on par with the simplified Wind Form. He was filled with anticipation and wanted to learn it immediately.
"I wonder how Eldest Senior Brother and the others are doing? How's your harvest? " He looked at the white clouds drifting in the sky and thought to himself. Then, he withdrew his gaze and drifted forward like a cool breeze.
Rumble …
An earth-shattering sound rang out. The ground shook violently as if a magnitude 6 or 7 earthquake was about to happen. The sky and the earth were about to turn upside down.
"What happened?" Everywhere in the Qinglan Void Realm, people and beasts looked up at the sky at the same time with a puzzled expression.
"Is the Qinglan Void Realm about to close?" Chu Mu was slightly stunned and looked puzzled. However, although there was a huge vibration, the sky did not darken. It seemed to be different from what Elder Luo and the others said about the Qinglan Void Realm being about to close.
His mind turned rapidly and various thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. Suddenly, he froze.
"Could it be …" Chu Mu could not help but be slightly excited. His eyes trembled slightly and his body trembled slightly. There was a trace of excitement and anticipation. The fingers of his right hand unconsciously flicked. This was because he remembered that on the way to the Qinglan Void Realm, Elder Luo and the other elders said that there was one point that seemed to be similar to the current situation.
He remembered that when Elder Luo and the others said that, they specifically emphasized that the possibility was very small. It was only possible to encounter it if one was lucky.
Just like the signs of the Qinglan Void Realm being about to close, there would be a huge vibration but the sky would not darken. Instead, there would be a strange fragrance. That was the sign that the Ancient Tree of Qinglan was about to appear.
The so-called Ancient Tree of Qinglan, Elder Luo and the others did not know much about it. After all, they had never seen it with their own eyes. They only found relevant records from the history books of the Sword Faction. In general, it was a huge ancient tree that only grew in the Qinglan Void Realm. Under normal circumstances, it would not appear, as if it was hidden under the earth of the Qinglan Void Realm. Once it appeared, it meant that there would be a fortuitous encounter. This was because every time the Ancient Tree of Qinglan appeared, it would bear a Qinglan Sacred Fruit.
The Sacred Fruit of Qinglan Sacred Fruit could not improve the cultivation of the sword aura, nor could it improve the attainment of swordsmanship. However, its role could not be ignored by anyone. Anyone would be tempted, even if they were masters of the Qi Transformation Realm or beyond.
It could improve one's cultivation talent!
Yes, the only use of the Sacred Fruit of Qinglan was to improve one's cultivation talent.
A truly powerful swordsman not only had to have a strong and profound cultivation of the sword aura, but also had to have superb attainments in swordsmanship. Whether or not the cultivation of the sword aura could be improved faster and become more powerful and profound was directly related to one's cultivation talent.
For example, Chu Mu's cultivation talent was only at the ninth level. Even though his cultivation efficiency was more than three times higher than others, the speed of his sword aura improvement was still very slow. He had to rely on elixirs many times to improve it.
If one's cultivation talent could be improved, even if it was only by one level, from the ninth level to the eighth level, the speed of cultivation would be significantly improved. After all, for swordsmen, the use of elixirs to improve their cultivation was only a minority. The real cultivation depended on the accumulation of hard work every day.
While Chu Mu was immersed in his thoughts, the huge tremor stopped. A strong and strange indescribable fragrance quickly spread from a distance and went into Chu Mu's nostrils. It suddenly gave birth to an illusion that he was in a sea of flowers.
"Huge tremor … strange fragrance …" Chu Mu was even more excited. At this moment, his usual calmness disappeared like smoke blown away by a strong wind. He could not help but be excited. This meant that the Ancient Tree of Qinglan had really appeared. If there was an Ancient Tree of Qinglan, then there would be a Sacred Fruit of Qinglan.
The Sacred Fruit of Qinglan was a good thing related to one's cultivation talent. Chu Mu had been distressed about how to solve the problem of his low cultivation talent. Now that there was a great opportunity in front of him, how could he let it go?
"The strange fragrance is coming from that direction. In other words, the Ancient Tree of Qinglan will appear there." Gradually, Chu Mu regained his calmness. The sharpness in his eyes was astonishing. Using Wind Travel, he almost floated up and quickly moved in the direction of the strange fragrance. "Other than me, the other people in the Qinglan Void Realm must have felt this huge vibration and smelled this strange fragrance. They must have also guessed that the Ancient Tree of Qinglan and the Sacred Fruit of Qinglan are here. This is a good opportunity. Not only can I meet up with my senior brothers, but I can also kill the remaining disciples of Qinglan Sword Sect in one fell swoop! "
…
"Ancient Tree of Qinglan … Sacred Fruit of Qinglan …" Somewhere in the Virtual Realm, Wei Hong was killing a high-level beast. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the strange fragrance. His eyes flashed and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth. "This is a good opportunity. Not only can I kill the disciples of Qingfeng Sword Sect and Qingshui Sword Sect, but I can also get a Sacred Fruit of Qinglan. After I find a chance to eat it, my cultivation talent will be improved from the seventh level to the sixth level. Crossing a bottleneck, my cultivation speed will be greatly improved, and I will be able to advance to the Qi Transformation Realm faster. "
At the same time, the disciples of the three major sword sects in various parts of the Virtual Realm moved quickly in the direction of the strange fragrance.
However, the strange thing was that many of the Ferocious Beasts were prostrating themselves on the ground, looking in the direction of the fragrance. Their eyes flashed with human-like reverence, as if there was a Ferocious Beast King in the distance that they had to worship.
…
The Virtual Realm of Qinglan was not very big. In the center of the entire Virtual Realm, there was an extremely strange scene.
After the ground shook violently, a gray branch with the thickness of a little finger broke out of the ground and quickly rushed to the ground, growing longer and thicker quickly.
It was like a seed breaking out of the ground, growing into a seedling, and then quickly growing into a small tree. This small tree seemed to have received a huge amount of nourishment within a second. It grew rapidly, becoming taller and thicker.
The whole process looked like the growth process of a tree from a seed to a towering tree. It was completed in just a few seconds.
Coincidentally, some of the disciples of the three major sword sects who were relatively close to here witnessed this scene with their own eyes. They were suddenly shocked to the extreme. Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were wide open. Their bodies were fixed in place as if they had been cast by a spell.
The entire brown tree emerged 30 meters above the ground before stopping. Countless branches, both thick and thin, spread out in all directions like a huge umbrella. The branch at the top was extremely sharp, looking like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky, as if it was going to pierce the clouds. The trunk at the bottom was difficult for ten people to wrap their arms around.
In particular, the entire tree was completely bare. There was not a single leaf to be seen, which made it even more eerie.
At this time, even more people rushed over from all directions. When they saw the thirty-meter-tall and bare tree, they all stopped in their tracks and stood hundreds of meters away from it. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
"Is this the Ancient Wood of Qinglan?" Chu Mu stopped about a thousand meters away from the 30-meter tree and looked up slightly. His pupils contracted slightly, and his face was full of amazement as he said to himself.
Like Chu Mu, the other disciples also showed such doubts and amazement.
