“Back then, I was young and energetic. The young man’s sword roamed the world. When I arrived at Jinguan City, I was attracted by this city that was purely made of swords. Therefore, I stopped in this city for 50 years.” Zhao Huangting’s eyes were filled with nostalgia.
He had once been a playboy here. Now that his life was about to end, he stepped into this city again. For some reason, his heart felt calm. After going around in circles, this city still gave him the most peace.
An Le was actually a little surprised. He originally thought that a famous sect like the Sword Pool Palace should be on a dangerous mountain, but he did not expect it to directly fuse with an old city.
Walking on the limestone road that was moistened by the thin rain, An Le walked unhurriedly and felt the vicissitudes and aura of time contained in this ancient city.
Humans had spirits, cities had spirits, and everything in the world had traces and meanings unique to them.
As he took a step, the Primordial Spirit in the Niwan Palace between An Le’s eyebrows slowly opened his eyes. He could vaguely sense wisps of sword intent and sword qi surging in the ground in this city where everyone had swords, like countless flood dragons and snakes rolling underground.
Su Muzhe stopped in her tracks and couldn’t help but glance at An Le. She couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
Zhao Huangting stroked his beard and walked forward calmly.
It was as if he did not find An Le’s situation strange at all.
As An Le’s mind strolled through the ancient city, it actually grew stronger bit by bit. The sword qi contained in the entire city was lingering around his body bit by bit.
It was as if an aura unique to swords was intertwined around him.
“A natural Sword Wielder.”
Su Muzhe was deep in thought. Now, she seemed to really believe that An Le’s talent might bring hope to the Sword Pool Palace as Zhao Huangting had said.
They walked along the long street of Jinguan City and saw a huge jade monument archway at the end of the road.
The memorial sign said: Sword Pool Palace.
The words were written in a flamboyant manner, but it was as if they were engraved with sword qi. With just a glance, one could feel the sharpness in them that was about to spew out.
After passing the archway, there was a straight bamboo forest that pierced into the clouds like a vertical sword. The bamboo forest was dark, and the leaves emitted the unique fragrance of bamboo leaves.
An Le and Zhao Huangting had a different kind of fate with bamboo. The two of them liked the silence brought by the bamboo forest and the soul-cleansing silence.
After passing through the bamboo forest, he heard a series of “ding ding dang dang”.
An Le was stunned.
“Many disciples in the Sword Pool Palace are forging swords.”
Su Muzhe explained.
“The Sword Pool Palace has a rule. Every disciple of the Sword Pool Palace not only needs to know how to use a sword, but they also need to know how to forge a sword. Of course, you don’t have to become a sword forging master, but you have to at least have some understanding of the structure of a sword.”
“Forging a sword of your own will close the distance between you and the sword and cut off the barrier between you and the sword.”
An Le couldn’t help but look surprised.
However, when he thought about how the Sword Pool Palace was not only a famous Sword Dao Holy Land in the world, but also a place to forge swords, he was not surprised.
“The Sword Pool Palace is famous for its powerful sword forging. More than half of the famous swords in the world come from the Sword Pool Palace. It’s not only because of the special nature of the Sword Pool Lake that can refine treasure swords, but also because the sword forging masters of the Sword Pool Palace are all famous.
Zhao Huangting introduced to An Le.
“Let’s go straight to the Sword Pool Lake and take a look. Let this kid experience the atmosphere of the Sword Pool Lake. At the same time, let him try to ring the Sword Bell that has stood in front of the Sword Pool Lake for thousands of years and see if he’s fated with this Sword Bell.”
Su Muzhe nodded.
She led the way along the stone path and entered the ground covered in green lawn on both sides.
A breeze slowly blew over from the world, wrapped in oily drizzle. With Green Mountain and Ink Pool Sword on An Le’s waist, he could vaguely feel the fleeting sword qi in the air.
After walking for a while, the surroundings suddenly opened up. Simple and simple buildings on both sides were dotted on the grassland and the forest.
It was densely packed like a rather primitive village.
In every house, there was the sound of knocking. Occasionally, An Le would glance over and see a bare-chested figure knocking on the sword embryo on the furnace that was spitting fire.
An Le suddenly felt pressure, as if his Primordial Spirit was almost numb from the flames at this moment.
“This is the Earth Immortal Fire from Jinguan City. Those who can have a
sword furnace to forge swords here are all elders of the Sword Pool Palace.
Basically, every elder is a famous swordsmith.”
Su Muzhe introduced with a smile and a confident smile on his lips.
“It’s definitely not easy to become a certified swordsmith of the Sword Pool Palace. It doesn’t mean that you can become a swordsmith of the Sword Pool
Palace just by forging a sword.”
“First of all, you have to be able to control the Sword Forging Furnace of the
Sword Pool Palace. Secondly, you have to be able to control the Earth Immortal Fire. Finally, you have to forge at least a fifth-grade sword to become a swordsmith of the Sword Pool Palace.
“Every year, among so many disciples of the Sword Pool Palace, there are very few who can really become swordsmiths.”
An Le nodded. As expected of the number one Sword Dao sect, they indeed had a deep foundation.
After walking for a while, An Le suddenly felt an extremely cold water vapor brush over, as if his soul was about to be frozen.
The water vapor of the Sword Pool Lake.
An Le looked up and saw an incomparably huge lake appear..
