"Elder Qiu, thank you for your guidance." Li Mu nodded, respectfully bowing to express his gratitude.

"Haha, no need to be so formal, Elder Li!" Qiu Changming waved his hand with a smile and continued, "The contribution for luring enemies this time has been tallied, and you are rewarded with 500,000 Sect Contribution Points. I’m allocating them to you now. Elder Li, please hand me your Elder Token!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu’s heart filled with joy. Sect Contributions were extremely valuable; they could be exchanged for various cultivation resources, secret techniques, and even magical treasures. 500,000 Contribution Points was undoubtedly a considerable amount, enough to exchange for four or five portions of Tier Seven Spiritual Materials, which were exceptionally precious.

Li Mu promptly took out his Elder Token and handed it to Qiu Changming with both hands.

Qiu Changming accepted the Elder Token, then channeled his mana, causing a light to rise from the token and merge into it.

Moments later, Qiu Changming returned the Elder Token to Li Mu and smiled, "Elder Li, the contributions have been credited to your Elder Token. Please check it."

Li Mu received the Elder Token, and after immersing his senses into it, indeed saw the Sect Contribution Points increase by 500,000.

"Thank you, Elder Qiu!" Li Mu expressed his gratitude once again with a clasped fist.

"No need for courtesy!" Qiu Changming waved his hand with a smile and said, "Elder Li, your achievements during this campaign against the Nine Demons Sect and the Blood Demon Race are outstanding. Moreover, for the past decade, your numerous artifact refinements have greatly contributed to the sect. I hope you remain humble and diligent, making even greater contributions to the sect!"

"Rest assured, Elder Qiu, I will not let the sect’s expectations down!" Li Mu nodded with a smile. Suddenly, he thought of something and reminded, "In this battle, many disciples from the sect used the Ancient Teleportation Array multiple times to transport me to the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars. I’m concerned that the array patterns of the Ancient Teleportation Array may be damaged. I suggest sealing the Ancient Inheritance Array for me to inspect and maintain."

Qiu Changming paused for a moment, then a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes as he nodded, "Elder Li, you are thoughtful. The Ancient Teleportation Array is indeed one of our sect’s critical assets. If damaged, the consequences would be dire. I will draft this task, temporarily sealing the Ancient Teleportation Array, and reopen it after your inspection and maintenance."

With that, Qiu Changming operated his token and then extended his hand towards Li Mu, saying, "For the task of repairing the Ancient Teleportation Array, it is valued at 50,000 Contribution Points. Elder Li, hand me your Elder Token again, and I will accept this task for you."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu was overjoyed and quickly handed his Elder Token to Qiu Changming.

Qiu Changming took the Elder Token, channeled his mana once more, causing a light to rise from it, and moments later returned it to Li Mu with a smile, "Elder Li, the task has been accepted. Thank you for your effort."

"It’s my duty!" Li Mu replied with a smile as he accepted the Elder Token back.

Afterwards, Li Mu bid farewell to Qiu Changming and the other elders, turning to leave.

Upon exiting the Profound Celestial Hall, Li Mu descended to an uninhabited mountain’s base, where he infused his Divine Sense into the Inheritance Jade Scroll and received the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture, a Saint Tier Inheritance.

Regarding the incomplete parts, Li Mu wasn’t overly concerned. As long as the upgrade requirements were met, further teachings of the cultivation technique would naturally appear. Additionally, according to Qiu Changming, cultivating both the Five Elements and Yin Yang and ultimately aiming for the Extreme Chaos Dao made it unnecessary to practice another sword scripture.

With the integration of Li Mu’s Divine Sense, the inheritance method of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture swiftly poured into his Sea of Consciousness. In an instant, within the vast and turbulent Sea of Consciousness, it seemed as if endless Sword Intent was surging.

The inheritance method of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture was exceptionally mysterious, containing infinite Sword Intent and the essence of the Sword Dao. Within Li Mu’s Sea of Consciousness, a boundless Sea of Swords appeared. Each sword emitted a unique aura and power. Immersed in this Sea of Swords, he felt the rhythm and breath of each sword, comprehending the essence of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture.

As time slowly passed, the Sword Intent within Li Mu’s Sea of Consciousness grew more and more intense, as if countless Sword Dao Laws were intertwined and fused within, resembling the scene when the Cyan Nether Sword Immortal initially created this sword scripture, witnessing the endless Sea of Swords and the sword aura crisscrossing the landscape.

No one knew how much time elapsed before a unique Sword Intent finally coalesced within Li Mu’s Sea of Consciousness. This Sword Intent, as tangible as a solid entity, radiated an intense surge of sword aura.

Li Mu awoke with his eyes shooting out a sharp cyan sword flare, marking the successful acceptance of the Cyan Nether Sword Dao inheritance.

[Ding, you have successfully accepted the "Cyan Nether Sword Scripture" inheritance, and have learned Cyan Nether Swordsmanship.]

Li Mu immediately focused on the log prompt that appeared on his character panel and then directed his consciousness onto the panel, choosing to allocate Skill Points to the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture.

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, and the proficiency of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture increased by 1.]

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, and the proficiency of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture increased by 1.]

...

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, and the proficiency of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture increased by 1, elevating the Initial Sword Chapter to Level One. The speed of your Cyan Nether Swordsmanship’s swordsmanship increased by +30%. You comprehended the Cyan Nether Sword Step.]

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, and the proficiency of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture increased by 1.]

...

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, and the proficiency of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture increased by 1, elevating the Initial Sword Chapter to Level Two, increasing the speed of your Cyan Nether Swordsmanship by +60%, and enhancing the speed of the Cyan Nether Sword Step by +15%. You comprehended the Cyan Nether Sword Shadow.]

...

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, and the proficiency of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture increased by 1.]

...

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, and the proficiency of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture increased by 1, elevating the Initial Sword Chapter to Level Three, increasing the speed of your Cyan Nether Swordsmanship by +90%, and enhancing the speed of the Cyan Nether Sword Step by +15%. You comprehended the Cyan Nether Sword Intent.]

...

Through Li Mu’s relentless efforts, the Initial Sword Chapter of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture finally reached Level Six. At this moment, he felt a closer connection with the sword, as if man and sword were one, the sword being his body, and the body being the sword.

However, when Li Mu attempted to further increase the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture’s points, he discovered that no matter how hard he tried, he could not elevate its level further. It turned out that the next level of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture required a Plant Spirit Attribute called Cyan Nether Spirit Origin. Without this Plant Spirit Attribute, the advancement of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture’s level was halted.

Nonetheless, Li Mu was undeterred. It simply meant finding this High-level Spirit Plant and cultivating a batch of High-tier Spirit Plants.

Li Mu immersed himself in the Cyan Nether Sword Dao, savoring the improvements brought by accepting the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture inheritance and upgrading the cultivation technique.

At this moment, he exuded a cyan sword aura with his entire being, as if he were the sword, brimming with Sword Might, sharp and unstoppable.

Within his mind, the relevant Sword Techniques, Sword Aura, Sword Step, and Sword Shadow of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture all appeared. Li Mu recalled the details of these Sword Techniques repeatedly, pondering their essence. Each recall deepened his understanding of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture, making his comprehension of the Cyan Nether Sword Dao even more profound, causing the Cyan Nether Sword Intent he exuded to grow more formidable.

Suddenly, Li Mu couldn’t resist extending his right hand, bringing his forefinger and middle finger together, casually sketching a Sword Technique. Instantly, a Cyan Nether Sword Qi shot out from between his fingers.

The Sword Qi pierced through the sky, emitting a sharp wail as if a cyan dragon was tumbling in the air. Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the air trembled, producing crackling sounds. Ultimately, the Sword Qi exploded violently against a distant mountain peak, severing half of the Spirit Peak.

Witnessing this scene, a glimmer of astonishment flashed in Li Mu’s eyes. A casual fling of Sword Qi resulted in a stone-shattering, peak-cleaving effect. If this Cyan Nether Sword Qi were to be enhanced on a Tier Six Spirit Sword, what kind of damage it could inflict was unimaginable.

Indeed, the power of a Saint Tier Inheritance is truly extraordinary!

It’s truly splendid! Another trump card in hand.

Satisfied, Li Mu smiled broadly, quickly restraining the Cyan Nether Sword Qi around him. Controlling his sword, he soared into the air, heading towards the Sword Heart Hall.

Next, Li Mu planned to head to the Spirit Peak where the Ancient Teleportation Array was located. Using the pretext of executing the repair task for the Teleportation Array, he aimed to acquire another Saint Tier Inheritance, this one recorded on the Jade Wall beside the Teleportation Array.
