Chapter 487: Chapter 359: The First Follower, the Omniscient and Omnipotent Wheel, Martial God State, Martial God Domain!

In addition, such words could only be uttered by someone far above the common folk.

The only reasonable explanation is that Su Mu saw through Ximen Gu’s determination to die, but chose not to point it out directly.

At this moment, Ximen Gu took a deep breath, lifted his bowed head slightly, then gripped his sword with his left hand, saluting deeply in the direction Su Mu had left, a genuine respect showing in his eyes.

Ximen Gu was a proud person, and there were only two people he had treated with such respect before. One was the Human Great Sage, the other was the master of the Sword Pavilion, his own mentor.

And now, there was a new person in the world.

Indeed, at this moment, Ximen Gu for the first time felt the urge to follow someone.

"I, Ximen Gu, have been enlightened!"

After Su Mu had completely left, Ximen Gu glanced at his right arm. He had the Elixir needed for temporarily reattaching his severed arm with him. The sooner it was reattached, the less it would affect his subsequent Martial Arts Realm.

However, Ximen Gu shook his head and resolutely put the segment of his right arm into the Space Ring.

At this moment, the desire to die had vanished from his heart.

"If I cannot do it, I would rather die in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool... it would not disgrace the Sword Pavilion."

"If I manage to walk out of here alive..."

"In the future, if needed, I, Ximen Gu, am willing to wield the three-foot-long sword in my hand."

...

Su Mu was unaware of Ximen Gu’s subsequent thoughts and didn’t know that he had gained a follower at the Martial Saint Disciple Level.

At this moment, Su Mu was flipping through the unnamed booklet in his hands.

After quickly skimming through it, his eyes lit up slightly.

Just now, when he saw Ximen Gu performing that sword move, Su Mu had a vague feeling that it might be useful to him.

Currently, he had just grasped the basics of the Phoenix Cry created by Bai Qingli, and the Sword Momentum had yet to be fully assimilated, which would take some time.

After a rough perusal, Su Mu grasped the air, and the Sword Momentum transformed into an invisible sword. With a casual thrust, the surrounding air instantly turned to frost, and behind him, a large Cold Sparrow began to form.

If Ximen Gu were standing nearby, he would surely be shaken to his core, for this was precisely the Cold Sparrow Sword he had created on his own.

After thirty years of sword cultivation, he had managed to invent such a Sword Form, yet now Su Mu managed to perform it just by observing it once, and he could instantaneously conjure the Cold Sparrow, indicating that this was no longer a mere preliminary mastery.

"An unexpected delight, the paths of Dao are different yet similar; to some extent, sword and saber skills are interconnected. This Cold Sparrow Sword move might aid me in better assimilating Phoenix Cry..."

Su Mu thought to himself, feeling satisfied, yet also somewhat surprised given his current location in the Giant Beast Cave, which was not a place for comprehending Martial Arts. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Having seen the Cold Sparrow Sword just once, he merely intended to try it out, never expecting he could actually perform it.

On second thought.

Su Mu soon came to a realization. Ximen Gu had asked if his own Sword Momentum had touched the Peak.

In reality...

He had within him two genuine Peak Blade Momentums; one was his own dominant Sword Momentum, the other belonged to the Extreme Cold Blade Momentum of Bai Qingli from a thousand years ago.

With these two Peak Blade Momentums in hand, Su Mu was already standing at the pinnacle of the Sword Dao.

To use such accomplishments in Sword Momentum to engage with other weapons, it’s more than mere domination; it’s an outright dimensional superiority.

"By extrapolating to other realms, engaging with other weapons’ Martial Arts in the future could benefit my impact on Sword Intent."

"Also, it’s essential to engage in Martial Arts exchanges with the Martial Saints of this world."

With this in mind, Su Mu became more clear about the path he needed to walk in the future. In his hand, there appeared a large Blood Core with five Golden Patterns.

There was a time when Grandmasters were regarded by Su Mu as unreachable as high mountains.

But now, after advancing to the Grandmaster rank, ordinary Great Grandmasters and Titled Grandmasters were no more than beings he could easily obliterate.

Unknowingly, Su Mu had grown to a realm of power that was once beyond his wildest dreams.

Upon sudden recollection.

In the Human World, those who could stand as rivals to Su Mu seemed to be reduced to three types of people: legends like Huangfu Tian, old monsters who have been immersed in the Titled Grandmaster realm for decades to centuries, and the Martial Saints of the current era.

Upon reflecting on this, even the resolute Su Mu couldn’t help but feel emotionally stirred, but after taking a few deep breaths, he quickly regained his composure.

"My real opponents are not these people..."

"My opponents are those beyond the Martial Saints... the true culprits of the Endless Black Mist World, the master who brings calamity!"

Suddenly, Su Mu’s eyes flickered slightly, recalling the earth-shattering battle above the Martial Saint level not long ago.

Replay after replay.

Su Mu’s eyes soon burst forth with a brilliant radiance.

He quickly realized that as those parties clashed, there emerged a seemingly incomparably strong special force field between them. Although it was the first time Su Mu had seen such a force field, he could vaguely sense a certain familiarity with it.

"Is it a force field above the Grandmaster’s Force Field, one that surpasses the Martial Saint’s?"

As Su Mu’s mind shifted, his own terrifying Grandmaster’s Force Field suddenly expanded outward. Instantly, several kilometers away, colossal creatures approaching Su Mu sensed this aura and their expressions dramatically changed before they began to flee without turning back.

Among them, three gigantic Fierce Beasts over thirty meters long bore a heavy expression, and after a brief hesitation, one ape-shaped Fierce Beast, entirely snow white, chose to retreat.

The remaining two Fierce Beasts, eyes filled with ferocity, continued to close in on Su Mu’s position.
