Chapter 524: Chapter 477: Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator

"Only one Nascent Soul, the Overlord Saber True Master?"

Chu Mu was a bit confused.

If it were just a single Tier Four existence at the Initial Nascent Soul Formation stage, then making such a grand display in the current climate would be truly unwise.

Qing Ling’s expression grew solemn. "You’re a Great Chu Cultivator, so you must know of the Longevity Sect’s Sword Dao Nascent Soul, correct?"

"He’s at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, and with the unrivaled attack power of his Sword Intent, he can even contend with Nascent Soul Great Cultivators. He roamed across Great Chu, saving them from a desperate situation, and almost single-handedly pulled the Longevity Sect back from the brink of annihilation..."

Chu Mu raised an eyebrow, his expression turning grave. He spoke slowly, "This Overlord Saber True Master... is he a True Cultivator of Saber Intent?"

"Yes."

Qing Ling nodded. "This Overlord Saber True Master is an extremely rare True Cultivator of Saber Intent!"

"The attack power of Intent is unrivaled. Back when the Overlord Saber True Master was only at the Golden Core Realm, he was virtually invincible among those at Tier Three."

"And now he has ascended to the Nascent Soul, the Tier Four Realm..."

Qing Ling’s brows knitted together, her worry evident.

A glimmer appeared in Chu Mu’s eyes as understanding dawned on him.

He himself was a True Cultivator of Saber Intent, so naturally, he understood its wonders better than anyone.

Back when he first set foot on the Immortal Path, he only had a crude grasp of Saber Intent, yet it could already temper his soul and magical power. It allowed him to avoid the corrosion of Pill Toxin, and the purity of his Magical Power and Divine Soul was far beyond that of his peers.

Afterward, he cultivated the Void Nether Saber Scripture, using Saber Intent to refine his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and then cultivated Saber Intent Divine Techniques, which all but cemented his nearly invincible Combat Power against those of the same realm.

Although he was only at the Early Stage of Golden Core, relying on the sheer cutting power of his Saber Intent, he could hold his own even against cultivators at the Late Stage of Golden Core or Golden Core Perfection.

If it truly came down to a desperate, life-or-death battle, Saber Intent’s Soul Cutting technique was his strongest trump card.

The phrase "Unrivaled Attack" was no exaggeration.

That Sword Dao Nascent Soul from the Longevity Sect, with a Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivation, was considered unstoppable across Great Chu.

Although this Overlord Saber True Master, a True Cultivator of Saber Intent, had only just reached Initial Nascent Soul Formation, for such an existence to establish himself in Bazhou in the current Vast Sea Cultivation Immortal World—and as the head of a power, no less...

Chu Mu’s eyes flickered as he wondered whether this Overlord Saber True Master, a Tier Four True Cultivator of Saber Intent, was part of the Longevity Sect’s plans.

If not, then this millennial celebration would hardly be a peaceful affair.

Such a terrifying Tier Four True Cultivator of Saber Intent... who could ignore him? Who would dare to ignore him?

"The seniors of my family have already set out and should have arrived at the Bazhou Alliance by now. You’ll be attending the year-end celebration too, right?"

"Barring any surprises, I should be there."

At that moment, Qing Ling abruptly changed the subject, her gaze on Chu Mu taking on a strange glint. "If I remember correctly... you’re a True Cultivator of Saber Intent too, aren’t you?"

Chu Mu was slightly taken aback. Looking at the woman’s confident expression, he gave a teasing smile. "Your Chen Family is certainly well-informed!"

"With your Pill and Artifact Dual Proficiency, you’re at the very top of the Vast Sea. How could my family not pay close attention to someone like you?"

Qing Ling blinked, speaking openly.

"In my family’s intelligence pavilion, we have a special file dedicated just to you. That’s treatment usually reserved for Nascent Soul Great Powers."

"Hahaha, I never thought I would be so honored."

Chu Mu shook his head and smiled, not paying it too much mind.

After all, for a great power like the Chen Family, if they truly focused their attention on him, it wouldn’t be difficult to uncover the traces he left behind from his time in the Great Chu Cultivation Immortal World.

Not to mention, he had also left behind quite a few traces here in the Vast Sea Cultivation Immortal World.

To an ordinary person, these traces might not reveal much.

But with the Chen Family’s far-reaching influence, gathering and analyzing these traces would be a simple matter.

Discovering his identity as a True Cultivator of Saber Intent wouldn’t be difficult either.

"Your talent is truly unimaginable!"

Qing Ling’s face was full of envy. "Pill and Artifact Dual Proficiency, your skill in Arrays is also outstanding, your Cultivation has reached Golden Core, and you’re even a True Cultivator of Saber Intent..."

"For an ordinary person to have even one of these would be a blessing from the heavens. But you... you’ve managed to acquire them all..."

Chu Mu chuckled lightly. "Since your Chen Family has investigated me so thoroughly, surely you know that I only have a Pseudo Spirit Root Talent?"

"With such talent, so what if you have a Pseudo Spirit Root Talent?"

"Besides, with your reputation for Pill and Artifact Dual Proficiency, I doubt you’re lacking in cultivation resources."

"Haha, you’re mistaken about that, Fairy."

"The Pill and Artifact Creation Skill is a bottomless pit. I am just a lone individual, unlike you, Fairy, who has a great power like the Chen Family at your back..."

A light flashed in Qing Ling’s eyes, and she said jokingly, "If you don’t want to go through so much trouble, there’s a simple solution. Join my family, and I, Qing Ling, can guarantee you’ll have no worries in your Cultivation."

"I appreciate the kind offer, Fairy."

"It’s just that after all these years, I’ve grown used to being free and can’t stand being restrained."

Qing Ling seemed to have expected this. After a faint smile, she smoothly changed the subject. "Are you going to Bazhou this time for the Nine Heavens Profound Gold at the auction?"

The corner of Chu Mu’s mouth twitched, and he looked at Qing Ling, speechless.

Qing Ling also seemed a bit embarrassed and quickly changed the subject again. "You probably don’t know this, but the origin of the Nine Heavens Profound Gold at this Bazhou Alliance auction is extremely interesting."

Chu Mu frowned. "Interesting?"

"Yes."

Qing Ling smiled. "Nine Heavens Profound Iron is already a rare Supreme Treasure in this world. Even my family’s Treasure Vault doesn’t have much of it in store. The last time we repaired the Soldier Puppets, we used up quite a bit."

As she spoke, Qing Ling shot Chu Mu a meaningful glance.

"For the Bazhou Alliance to offer such a large piece of Nine Heavens Profound Gold this time is even more exceptionally rare."

"According to my family’s intelligence, this piece of Nine Heavens Profound Gold doesn’t belong to the Bazhou Alliance either. It was acquired from the open market by the Bazhou Business Alliance, a subordinate of the Bazhou Alliance."

"It was supposedly obtained from a Foundation Establishment Realm Loose Cultivator. Because of this, the Bazhou Business Alliance grew greedy, and a Golden Core True Master went after the cultivator. But for some unknown reason, this mighty Golden Core True Master was not only injured by the Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator, but also allowed him to escape without a trace."

"Previously, when the Bazhou Alliance sealed off Bazhou, although it was partly due to the turmoil in the Vast Sea, another reason was likely that Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator."

"Even now, cultivators are still searching for that Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator all over Bazhou and its surrounding regions."

"There are even rumors circulating that the Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator might have obtained an incredible ancient legacy..."

"My family also sent cultivators to investigate this matter. That piece of Nine Heavens Profound Gold did indeed come from that Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator, but his true identity is still unknown..."

A glint flickered in Chu Mu’s eyes, and he asked nonchalantly, "If his identity can’t be found, were there any clues regarding the methods he used in Battle or his Cultivation Technique?"

"Don’t tell me you’re getting ideas too?"

Qing Ling glanced at Chu Mu curiously.

"Not really. I’m just more curious about this person’s identity."
