The Azure Sky Mountain was not very big. However, due to the subtle situation, Mu Xinshu had no choice but to tread carefully. Therefore, he had spent the past two to three days wandering around the Azure Sky Mountain.

The only two hundred disciples left in the Core Sect had spent the past few days searching for the whereabouts of Mu Xinshu, day and night. However, these two hundred disciples were insignificant to the entire Vast Sky Mountain. Furthermore, Mu Xinshu knew the terrain of the Azure Sky Mountain like the back of his hand, which was why he had been able to hide within the mountain for three days without anyone discovering him!

In the past few days, Mu Xinshu had basically figured out why the meridian energy had appeared in his body again. That day, when he fought with the four Green Shadow Peak disciples of the Treant Core Sect, Mu Xinshu appeared to be in high spirits. But in truth, after Mu Xinshu had walked far away, he collapsed onto the ground. Because he had forcefully circulated his energy, Mu Xinshu's body was once again thrown into disarray. His exhaustion and the pain in his body caused him to almost fall into a coma!

Fortunately, the pain did not last for long, but Mu Xinshu still felt as if he had been reborn!

It turned out that the Arrogant Sword Scripture was not only two types of sword arts, but it was also a miraculous inner force cultivation method! Mu Xinshu was silently reciting the Arrogant Sword Scripture in the hole under the tree by the river. Unknowingly, he had stimulated the cultivation of his inner force, and with the effects of the icy cold water current, he was actually able to rejuvenate the meridian energy within Mu Xinshu's body!

Then Mu Xinshu also discovered that the Wild Arrogant Sword Scripture could only be activated by the contents of the Wild Arrogant Sword Scripture when he was in icy cold water! And what was even more surprising to Mu Xinshu was that under these circumstances, his cultivation speed was shockingly fast!

In less than an hour of cultivation in the water, his cultivation had actually broken through the late stage of the second meridian, broken through the obstruction of the meridian, and reached the third meridian stage where the meridian Qi was released!

Although Mu Xinshu was ecstatic, he did not feel too happy. He understood that this speed was achieved after a night of soaking himself in the icy cold water under the tree roots. When his life was in danger, the potential would burst forth! Especially after the battle with the four Green Shadow Peak disciples of the Treant Core Sect, the situation inside Mu Xinshu's body had become even worse!

The condition of his body was very bad. What Mu Xinshu felt was that the meridian Qi that he had cultivated was impressively stored in his body for less than an hour! Coincidentally, he broke through the third meridian, causing his body to once again be in danger! If he didn't find a safe place to rest for a while, Mu Xinshu was sure that he would absolutely become a cripple!

After stepping onto the path of cultivation for so many years, Mu Xinshu had fallen from the peak to the lowest point. Now that he finally saw a glimmer of hope that he could return to the peak, he really didn't want to become a cripple! At the very least, before killing his enemy, Mu Xinshu felt that he still needed to consider how to survive!

At the southeast corner of the Vast Sky Mountain, there was a cliff with a height of over 100 meters. The cliff was steep and straight, falling down from the peak.

At this moment, Mu Xinshu was hiding in a cave on a cliff, enduring the surrounding darkness and cold wetness as he tried to come up with a countermeasure.

The pain that came from his body once again attacked him. He felt dizzy and a bone-piercing pain in his heart. Mu Xinshu clenched his teeth and did not dare to relax even a bit. There was not a single bit of meridian energy left in his body. Without the help of the cold water, Mu Xinshu would not be able to cultivate the Arrogant Sword Scripture!

Ordinary training, although it could also produce meridian qi, its effect was miniscule. Especially since Mu Xinshu was currently hiding in the surrounding pitch-black, ice-cold, and damp environment, with the addition of his body's hidden danger, the amount of meridian energy that he needed was far from what an ordinary training of the Arrogant Sword Scripture could afford.

Mu Xinshu held in his hand a hastily tied torch. The light from the torch had already dimmed down. Borrowing the light from the torch, Mu Xinshu looked at the sword marks on the walls of the cave and sighed!

This was a place that Mu Xinshu had accidentally discovered in the past, and there was a time when Mu Xinshu had not forgotten about it. He had secretly practiced his swordsmanship here with a few of his senior brothers from the Treeheart Sect! The fast sword sword sword that Mu Xinshu had known for a long time had come from this cave!

This was the high-spirited experience of Mu Xinshu as a genius disciple in the Sect's core. Most of the seniors who had discovered this cave with him had also disappeared without a trace.

As he thought back to the past, Mu Xinshu's expression became a bit absent-minded. These sword marks were a record of his life. If it weren't for those days of practice, Mu Xinshu wouldn't have become a genius disciple of the Heart Tree! However, all of this was already in the past. There was no longer any point in recalling it. The only thing Mu Xinshu could do was to bury these memories deep within his heart!

Mu Xinshu sat blankly on the ground, one hand holding his chin and the other holding a torch that was about to be extinguished. No matter what, he could not think of a way to escape the Heavenly Mountain under the search of hundreds of Heart Tree Sect disciples.

He was indeed very familiar with the Azure Sky Mountain, but there was one thing that had been in the sect for a longer time than him. Every blade of grass and tree in the sect was even more familiar than Mu Xinshu! He knew that all possible exits of the Azure Sky Mountain were currently guarded by Core Sect disciples! Moreover, it seemed like Eldest Brother Feng Yuhai and the others had also received the news and would probably be back soon. When the group of disciples they brought back to the Azure Sky Mountain returned, Mu Xinshu would no longer have the chance to escape.

"Pu!" The flame extinguished with a soft sound, causing Mu Xinshu, who was deep in thought, to come back to his senses. When he turned around, Mu Xinshu's eyes suddenly widened as he stared in astonishment at the exit of the cave, where a glimmer could be seen.

It was unknown when a figure had appeared at the cave's exit. The monotonous figure covered most of the entrance of the cave which was located on top of the cliff. Only two small cracks were revealed at the side, and a faint light even shone through them!

Without saying anything further, Mu Xinshu stood up. With a flick of his wrist, he held the heart wooden sword in his hand and pointed towards the cave entrance. Mu Xinshu angrily shouted, "Who is it?"

Chi chi! A loud sound came from the cave entrance. Following that, the bright light of a torch illuminated the cave. It also revealed the tall figure of the man with a green wooden sword in the middle of the cave entrance!
