Controlling a flying sword isn't as difficult as you might imagine. It's all about coordinating your Divine Sense with the sword; you can fly wherever you want, and it's quite easy to get the hang of.
The only problem is that it consumes Spiritual Power.
Xiao Wu only saw Su Mu fly away in an instant, and then fly back again, as if he had never left.
"Young master, so fast?"
Xiao Wu said something subconsciously.
Su Mu's face darkened upon hearing this. "Don't you understand what that means?"
Regardless of whether the other party understood the meaning or not, Su Mu decided to pretend that they didn't.
However, Su Mu was also a little upset.
He can no longer cultivate; his cultivation relies entirely on the Dao Lotus, which helps him accumulate Spiritual Power little by little.
As the Dao Lotus rotates, it automatically absorbs Spiritual Power into its body, but the speed is too slow.
When all the petals of the Dao Lotus were closed before, it simply stopped absorbing Spiritual Power.
Su Mu estimated that the more petals bloomed, the faster the cultivation speed should be. Thinking about it this way, he should go back and study the Dao Scripture.
In addition, I am looking for a Secret Method to nurture a flying sword, so that I can achieve perfect harmony with the flying sword, making it easier to control and increasing its power.
After making up his mind, Su Mu took Xiao Wu back to the courtyard.
As soon as Su Mu returned to the palace gate, countless people surged forward around him.
" Qin River Blackfish begs for Mr. Su's guidance. If Mr. Su agrees, this humble demon will offer a generous reward!"
"This Azure Eye for you, Mr. Su. Please help this humble demon overcome this heavenly Heavenly Tribulation. This humble Mr. Su will surely serve you faithfully for the rest of your life."
"This humble Southern Cloud Rogue Person, wishes to discuss the Dao with Mr. Su, and hopes that Mr. Su will grant my request."
A cacophony of sounds erupted instantly, and Su Mu, surrounded by so many cultivators and demons, nearly couldn't break free.
After much effort, Su Mu finally managed to escape and leave.
Looking back, seeing these people still standing at the palace gate, looking reluctant to part, I immediately felt a chill.
I didn't see these people when I went out earlier, so why are they acting like they knew about it and are acting so crazy when I came back?
"Didn't I tell you to turn down these people? Why haven't they left yet?"
Su Mu turned around and looked at Xiao Wu helplessly.
"They're all cultivators; they won't give up so easily. Although I did refuse them, I imagine many of them see this as a test from you, young master."
Xiao Wu offered an explanation upon hearing this.
Su Mu thought about it and agreed. Cultivators are generally known for their unwavering resolve, and it's not easy to persuade them to leave.
"Young Master, are you not planning to mentor a few more people? After all, Lin Hongbin has already grasped the essence; you can choose others to follow."
Su Mu shook his head upon hearing this, without saying a word.
Back in the courtyard, Su Mu began searching through ancient texts, hoping to learn how to nurture a flying sword.
At that moment, a pair of jade-like feet suddenly appeared in front of her.
Su Mu looked up and saw the eldest princess, whom she hadn't seen for many days.
"I need to talk to you about something."
With a wave of her hand, the princess summoned two more cushions to the side.
Su Mu nodded and sat down, where two more cups of hot tea appeared in front of him.
Su Mu didn't stand on ceremony and took a sip of tea.
"This time, the Moon Pursuing the Sun nearly caused a great disaster, and the Great Liang Kingdom was destroyed. After returning, I discussed the matter with my ministers in court for a while and felt that we should expand our territory and leave more land for the survival of the human race."
"I have investigated. A powerful being once established the current territory of the human race and gained countless merits. If you are willing to lend a hand, you will surely also gain countless merits."
The eldest princess was extremely well-prepared, and the benefits of her offer made it difficult for Su Mu to refuse.
"Do you want me to use my calligraphy to help us expand our territory?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mu asked instinctively.
The eldest princess nodded slightly. "What do you think?"
Expanding territory requires calligraphy; otherwise, the newly conquered lands will be constantly attacked by countless Demon Race and evil spirits and cannot be defended.
"Good."
Su Mu agreed without much thought.
This is a good thing for him, so there's no reason for him not to agree.
Moreover, this also allows Su Mu to take the opportunity to cultivate his own power base.
With their own power, the speed at which they accumulate Spirit Stone will increase significantly, allowing them to activate the second Teleportation Array.
In addition, you can collect and accumulate other treasures, so it's all very necessary.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult for Su Mu to accumulate Spirit Stone on his own.
The benefits of High Antiquity ruins aren't something you can obtain every day.
The princess's pretty face beamed with a bright smile as she watched Su Mu agree.
"Reclaiming wasteland actually has many benefits, such as Spirit Stone mines, various spirit medicine, other ores, Spirit Plant, and so on—all of which are very rewarding."
She had originally planned to use these benefits to persuade Su Mu Su Mu he refused, but now it seems that's no longer necessary.
"I'll have a cup of these too."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu quickly spoke up.
He was still thinking about the Spirit Stone when the princess brought it up directly.
"You'll get your share."
The eldest princess casually uttered a sentence, then left alone.
Expanding territory is no small matter, and she will need to participate in some coordination work.
Once it begins, the Great Liang will have officially started a war with some Demon Race.
Those Savage Wilderness Demon Race are extremely cruel by nature, unlike some Demon Race living among humans, some of whom can live peacefully with humans.
And beyond the sea, beneath the boundless ocean, lie countless Demon Cultivator. It is said that some have witnessed Demon Cultivator Demon Cultivator at the bottom of the sea.
These thoughts flashed through Su Mu's mind, then he calmed down and searched for books about nurturing flying swords.
In a certain region of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder began to rumble.
Below, a cultivator sat cross-legged, but judging from his aura, he was only at the Qi Refining.
"Hey, I never knew that a Qi Refining cultivator like myself would actually undergo Heavenly Tribulation. Does that make me the first person in history to do so?"
Lin Hongbin watched as the tribulation clouds slowly gathered, a smile appearing on his lips, but his face showed no fear whatsoever.
At this moment, he no longer possessed the aura of perfection he had before. This was because he had sacrificed a portion of his cultivation, leaving himself with a deficiency.
The tribulation clouds solidified, and a moment later, a bolt of tribulation lightning struck down.
Lin Hongbin pulled out an oil-paper umbrella and used it to protect himself.
The oil-paper umbrella trembled slightly under the thunderous roar of the lightning, but managed to withstand it.
Upon seeing this, Lin Hongbin immediately smiled. He had prepared many Law Artifact to deal with this tribulation lightning!
The lightning bolts continued to fall, but Lin Hongbin dealt with them calmly.
Finally, half an hour later, the calamity clouds dissipated.
At this moment, Lin Hongbin's aura began to condense, directly reaching the Foundation Establishment.
But it wasn't over yet. His aura began to become strange, and after a long while, it calmed down, and Lin Hongbin revealed a smile.
At this moment, it seemed as if something was missing, but upon closer inspection, he could only sense that the other person was flawless and without any defects.
Lin Hongbin's face lit up with joy; he had now Perfect Foundation Establishment!
The original defects have been perfectly repaired after surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.
The reason he seems somewhat imperfect at this moment is because he didn't achieve perfection in his cultivation when he Foundation Establishment.
However, the Heavenly Tribulation actually helped him repair this imperfection.
It's like a piece of jade breaking off, but then a piece of gold is used to patch it up, achieving the effect of making it whole again.
