Chapter 166 Starry Holy Land
After getting the token, Ye Chengming didn't let Zhao Mu stay for long, and urged him to inspect the guardian formation and go around the entire Sword Immortal Pavilion first.
Zhao Mu had never heard of such a good thing.
He left happily with the token.
Zhao Mu first flew to a high altitude to observe the overall picture of the Sword Immortal Pavilion.
The Hidden Sword Valley is larger than imagined.
It is about 500 miles long and more than 40 miles wide. Looking down from a distance, it looks like a giant sword suspended in the air.
In fact, the Hidden Sword Valley is indeed a suspended valley.
The entire Sword Immortal Pavilion is floating tens of thousands of meters above the sky, but it cannot be felt in the deep valley.
"This feeling..."
Looking at the full picture of the Hidden Sword Valley, Zhao Mu suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation in his eyebrows, as if someone was pointing a sword at him.
"Could it be that there is really a giant sword hidden under this Hidden Sword Valley? The entire Sword Immortal Pavilion is suspended in the sky relying on this giant sword?" Zhao Mu guessed.
In order to confirm his guess, Zhao Mu did not even go to the Starry Holy Land first, but quickly descended and came to the bottom of the Hidden Sword Valley.
"Sure enough!"
"What a big bronze ancient sword!"
This bronze ancient sword is the same size as the Hidden Sword Valley, and it is completely the base of the Hidden Sword Valley.
The surface of the bronze ancient sword is mottled, leaving heavy traces of time, but the overall preservation is intact. There are many clearly visible ancient sword patterns engraved on the sword body, and there is a mysterious breath emanating.
What's even more strange is that this bronze ancient sword is not easy to see.
Only when you keep a parallel plane with the ancient sword can you roughly see the whole picture of the bronze ancient sword, but when Zhao Mu continues to descend, the outline of the bronze ancient sword gradually disappears. If you continue to descend, even the entire Hidden Sword Valley floating in the air will disappear.
When Zhao Mu descends to the ground, he can't see anything above 10,000 meters in the sky, and the sunlight will penetrate the sky unimpeded and shine on the earth.
So in the eyes of the mortals in the town at the foot of the mountain, they can only see the Tianjian Yundao, but can't peek at the Sword Immortal Pavilion.
"Although the invisibility formation is not very sophisticated, it is quite creative to use the sword as the base to build such a Heavenly Sword Sect that looks like a heavenly palace."
To be honest, Zhao Mu is a little greedy.
Who doesn't want to own such a Feng Shui treasure land?
"When I establish a sect, I will also build an aerial fairy island, where I can go wherever I want, without having to stay in one place to see fixed scenery."
Zhao Mu murmured to himself.
For the next half day, Zhao Mu circled around the Hidden Sword Valley several times, focusing on observing the structure of the guardian formation.
After watching it several times, Zhao Mu probably had a direct impression in his mind.
To be honest, the guardian formations of various sects are similar. They must ensure large-scale spatial coverage, have sufficient defense capabilities, and preferably have early warning capabilities. To put it bluntly, it is to create a transparent and breathable spherical cover to cover the entire sect.
In Zhao Mu's opinion, the cost-effectiveness is not high.
The guardian formation of the Shengyuan Demon Sect is powerful enough, but it is difficult to prevent thieves from within.
Moreover, the larger the size of the guardian formation, the greater the daily consumption of spiritual stones and the cost of maintenance.
Most of the time, it is just a money-burning machine. Whether it can be used at a critical moment is another matter.
"Speaking of which, this Sword Immortal Pavilion has been established for 36,000 years. Although there was a guardian formation before, the scale was not so huge. Now it is said to be repaired and recast, but the scale of investment is far greater than before. It feels like preparing for a rainy day. Could it be that the Sword God Song predicts that something bad will happen?"
Zhao Mu shook his head. This is not a problem he should consider.
After a careful inspection, Zhao Mu was sure that there should be no place to imprison people in this Hidden Sword Valley.
That can only be the Starry Holy Land.
Zhao Mu crossed the Hidden Sword Valley and continued to move forward in the direction indicated by the hilt. After passing through a thick layer of clouds, he finally saw the full view of the Starry Holy Land.
"Hiss, it's a bit cold."
Zhao Mu looked down and found that he was already a long distance away from the surface.
Although we haven't flown into space yet, the air around us has become quite thin. Looking around, the atmosphere is slightly blue. It's broad daylight, but there are already faint stars overhead.
No wonder it's called the Starry Holy Land. If it's a little higher, it can be used as a space station.
Zhao Mu took a glance and took a preliminary look at the entire Starry Holy Land.
It's very big. Although it's not as big as the Hidden Sword Valley, the diameter of the entire holy land is more than 100 miles. It looks like a huge disc with a slightly curved surface. There is a big river flowing in the middle. After the river flows to the edge of the holy land, it turns into a waterfall and rushes down. Under the sunlight, a rainbow is clearly visible.
If a mortal saw such a scene, he would probably immediately determine that this is the legendary fairy palace.
Zhao Mu held the token and flew into the Starry Holy Land.
As soon as he approached the Starry Holy Land, Zhao Mu saw a sword light breaking through the air.
A man wearing a long robe and with long silver hair flying, who looked like a sword immortal, came flying on a sword.
He did not speak, but just glanced at the token in Zhao Mu's hand and asked, "What does Grandmaster Ye want?"
"Grandmaster asked me to inspect the structure of the Sword Immortal Pavilion's guardian formation."
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "I will accompany you. There are many traps and strict formations in the holy land. Many brothers have bad tempers. You are new here and don't know the rules. It would be bad if you accidentally offend a brother."
"Then thank you." Zhao Mu nodded.
Although this means that you can't move freely, you have to bow your head under the eaves.
"You look unfamiliar. Are you new to Jianxian Pavilion?" the man asked.
"I am Zhao Mu, and I just joined the Sword Immortal Pavilion as a guest yesterday."
"You just arrived yesterday, and you can come to the Starry Holy Land with Master Ye's token today? It seems that Master Ye thinks highly of you."
"It's just that you have some insignificant talent in the art of formation." Zhao Mu was humble and asked, "Daoyou is extraordinary, and should be the genius disciple of the Sword Immortal Pavilion."
The man smiled slightly and shook his head: "I don't dare to be a genius. The assessment of the disciples of the Sword Immortal Pavilion is extremely strict. Now in the Sword Immortal Pavilion, only Zhou Changqing, Guo Yuxian, and Qian Zhong can be called geniuses."
"What's your name?"
"I am Wang Mo."
This man looks extraordinary, but he is easy to talk to.
It may be related to Zhao Mu's mention of Master Ye's name.
Chatting all the way, Zhao Mu began his own tour of the holy land.
The Starry Holy Land is not big, so after a visit, it was over very quickly.
In addition to watching the guardian formation, Zhao Mu was more focused on finding out if there was a place where prisoners were held in the holy land. However, after looking around, Zhao Mu was a little disappointed and did not find such a place.
He also asked Wang Mo indirectly, but Wang Mo did not give any useful information.
It seems that we still have to wait for Xing Ziyue and Mu Jiuling. They live in the holy land and are close to Wen Yan. It should be easier for them to obtain information inside the holy land.
