The shuttle flew through the clouds for half a day, and the sky gradually turned from gray to pale gold, and then burned into a whole orange-red glow in the evening.
Qin Tiexin is sitting at the end of the shuttle, with his left hand resting on the handle of Edgeless, looking down over the edge of the shuttle.
The land beneath our feet gradually transitioned from rolling gray-brown mountains to plains, and the rivers glowed like gold in the setting sun. There were more and more scattered villages and market towns, and mortal cities were spread out into blue-gray squares on the plains. The further south you flew, the warmer the air became, and the biting chill of Wind and Snow Pass was far behind you.
"Almost there." Chen Xi looked back from the shuttle control position and said.
Qin Tiexin raised his head and looked forward.
A vague outline appeared on the horizon. At first he thought it was a mountain, but as the shuttle continued to advance, the "mountain" became more and more unusual in his sight.
Its shape was too straight, not like a naturally formed landform. As he got closer, he could see clearly that it was a sword.
A huge sword with a height of one hundred feet was thrust straight into the ground, with the tip of the sword pointing downwards and the blade slightly tilted, as if it had been thrown down from the clouds by some ancient giant and nailed here.
Even from such a distance, he could still identify the rough and vigorous carvings on the sword, which were wounds left by the battle.
The setting sun shone on the sword, reflecting a deep dark golden luster. The clouds and mist around the sword were cut open by some force, flowing slowly on both sides of the sword's edge, not daring to take even half a step.
"That's Heaven-Breaking Sword of the Divine Sword Sect." Chen Xi's voice came from the front, "It is said to be the sword of the founder of the sect. The sword was inserted here after the ancestor ascended, and it has been inserted for thousands of years. The disciples of the Divine Sword Sect have to practice swordplay in front of the sword for an hour every morning, rain or shine."
The shuttle lowered its height, and Qin Tiexin saw more things. Below the giant sword was an endless group of buildings, built against the mountain, with countless layers piled up one after another. The mountain gate was more than ten times wider than the mountain gate of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Two white jade stone pillars towered into the clouds, and the pillars were engraved with sword runes as dense as honeycombs, glowing with a vivid green light in the sunset.
On the main peak behind the mountain gate, densely packed buildings spread from the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain, and then looming in the clouds extending to higher places.
The scale of each building such as the spiritual field, the sword pavilion, the training tower, and the martial arts arena far exceeds any sect facility Qin Tiexin has ever seen. It seems that they are not afraid of others watching, and they are just displayed in front of the two of them in the air.
The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and from time to time, sword light shuttles through the clouds and mist, bringing out a clear and clear sword cry. The sword sounds may be long or short, some are as clear and crisp as a chime, and some are as deep as a bell. They are intertwined but not noisy, but form a strange rhythm.
"This scale must be as big as ten Flowing Cloud Sect." Qin Tiexin looked at the building complex that stretched to the end of the field of vision and whispered this number.
"Only more." Chen Xi slowed down the shuttle, "Divine Sword Sect is the largest sect in Azure Xuan Region. Nascent Soul True Lord has at least five sects, and Golden Core True Person has dozens of sects. This is nothing, it is said that Divine Sword Sect's sect in Central Heaven Great Region is also one of the top sects. The disciples in the sect are mainly Swordsmanship. Except for a few auxiliary monks, all of them use swords, and only disciples who use swords are accepted." He looked back at Qin Tiexin and grinned, "I'm afraid we won't be able to get in."
Qin Tiexin lowered his head and glanced at Edgeless on his back. He could still tell the difference between a knife and a sword.
He looked up again and looked at the senior brother in front of him. He didn't seem to have seen Chen Xi use any main weapons.
Chen Xi's shuttle landed slowly on Sword Landing Plaza. Sword Landing Plaza is a huge square paved with bluestones, vast enough to park dozens of large spiritual ships at the same time. Standing on the edge of the square are There are several rows of Spirit Stone lamp posts, and the fluorite on the top of the pillars is being lit one after another, emitting a soft white light. There are several shuttles and spirit boats of different sizes parked in the square, all of them are monks from the outer sect who come to the Divine Sword Sect to do business.
As soon as Chen Xi put the shuttle into his anklet, two Divine Sword Sect disciples wearing light blue sword robes walked quickly from the other side of the square.
Both of them wore swords at their waists, and their steps were brisk and neat. Their eyes first glanced at Edgeless on Qin Tiexin's back, paused on the sword, and then turned to Chen Xi.
"Senior, are you Flowing Cloud Sect Chen Xi True Person?" The first disciple took a step forward and asked with his hands raised.
Chen Xi glanced at the two of them and nodded. "It's me."
"Chen True Person, did you directly fly the shuttle out of the Flower Sword Restaurant five days ago?" The disciple's tone was polite, but he asked clearly, "According to the regulations of the Divine Sword Sect city, you are not allowed to fly the Law Artifact directly in the city. If Chen True Person commits the first offense, he will only be fined 300 Spirit Stone. If he commits the next offense, he will be prohibited from entering the Divine Sword Sect city."
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows, as if he just remembered that such a thing happened. At that time, Flower Sword Restaurant received the news that Qin Tiexin had been kidnapped by True Person Xueying. He and Luo Ling took out the shuttle from the restaurant lobby and broke the window without paying any attention to any market rules.
However, Chen Xi was surprised that these two people found and recognized him so quickly. After all, Chen Xi did not show his true face that day.
He reached out and dug through the storage ring, counted out three hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stone and handed it over, without any air of Golden Core True Person on his face. "I'll make a note of it, I won't do it next time."
The two disciples accepted Spirit Stone, bowed their hands again, and turned around to leave. The whole process was neat and tidy, without any difficulty or unnecessary politeness.
Qin Tiexin watched the two people disappear at the end of the square, turned around and asked Chen Xi: "Divine Sword Sect's rules are so strict?"
Chen Xi put away the anklet and shrugged. "There is no way, the one with the big fist has the final say, no one can beat him."
Qin Tiexin seemed to sense that there was a trace of undisguised disdain in his tone, but he did not continue, he just raised his chin towards the southeast of the square, "Let's go, the teleportation array is over there."
The two walked down Sword Landing Plaza and passed through the main street of the Divine Sword Sect Fangshi.
Qin Tiexin While walking, I saw that the scale of Fangshi was far larger than Wind and Snow Pass. The shop fronts on both sides of the street were uniformly made of blue bricks and gray tiles, with a simple style. Heaviness. Rows of wooden plaques with the names of elixirs were hung at the entrance of the alchemy shop, and the wooden plaques fluttered gently in the wind. The collision made a tinny sound; there were several semi-finished products Law Artifact placed in front of the weapon refining shop, emitting spiritual power fluctuations of various attributes, like the silent shouts of the products; further away, there was the gold-lettered signboard of the auction house, which reflected a layer of Heaviness's luster in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The monks were coming and going on the street, and most of them were wearing swords and walking in a hurry. Occasionally, there were a few who were not wearing swords, either from other sects on business or merchants from the city.
Qin Tiexin After a slight sniff, the air was filled with a faint metallic smell, which was the remnant of sword intent left by a large number of flying swords all year round. Mixed in the evening breeze, it was as if the entire mountain gate was breathing the scent of swords.
The two walked through the main street to the southeast corner of Fang City. There were obviously fewer pedestrians here. At the end of the street stood a huge stone chamber. The outer wall of the stone chamber was not made of blue bricks, but a dark gray ancient stone. The surface was covered with weathering marks. It looked Elder Gu better than all other buildings around it.
There were no guards at the door of the stone chamber, only a light blue array barrier slowly flowing in the doorway, emitting a low hum.
Chen Xi stopped at the door of the stone chamber, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then approached Qin Tiexin and lowered his voice. "It is said that this is a High Antiquity teleportation array. After it was discovered by the Divine Sword Sect Just keep it as your own. Individuals need to collect 10,000 Spirit Stone at one time, and the caravan gets 10% of the value of the goods. This is the only one Azure Xuan Region that can cross borders. I don't know how much I've made from this." He clicked his tongue, with an undisguised sourness in his tone.
Qin Tiexin looked at the flowing array barrier and said nothing. Ten thousand Spirit Stone once was enough for an ordinary Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator to struggle for decades. But he also knew that monopolizing cross-domain transmission across a large domain was not an outrageous price.
Chen Xi patted him on the shoulder and took the lead to walk towards the door of the stone chamber. As he approached, the cyan formations automatically separated to both sides, revealing a passage for only one person to pass through. Qin Tiexin followed Edgeless in with Edgeless on his back.
The air inside the stone chamber is a bit cooler than outside, with a smell of dry dust. The four walls are still the dark gray ancient stone, which is covered with densely packed ancient runes, and each rune is glowing slightly.
In the center of the stone chamber, a circular teleportation array about three feet in diameter lies quietly on the ground. The array patterns are complex and dense, and are layered and interwoven into a pattern whose starting and ending points are almost impossible to identify.
This is the teleportation array, leading directly to Heavenly South Domain!
Qin Tiexin couldn't help but feel his heart beat a little faster.
