Chapter 933: Chapter 166: Sword Lake Palace

Great Jin, Yizhou, Shu County Prefecture.

On this day, a figure suddenly appeared at the Teleportation Hall in the Prefecture City,

This person was wearing a dark green outfit, his hair tied up with a headband, with a very honest-looking face. If one didn’t know better, they’d mistake him for a seasoned farmer. He was Wang Erniu, who arrived through the teleportation.

After parting ways with Zhou Xun and True Monarch Tianci in Jiangling Prefecture, he finally reached this land of Yizhou after utilizing teleportation arrays along the way.

Wang Erniu stepped out from the teleportation array and looked around. The Teleportation Hall around him was spacious and magnificent, with Spirit Crystals embedded in the walls, emitting a faint light that illuminated the entire hall brightly.

Inside the hall, people came and went, their clothing varied, but behind them all was a long sword. They either hurriedly traveled or conversed in small groups in low voices, emanating different degrees of Spiritual Power fluctuations.

"Sword Lake Palace, Wang Erniu has finally arrived!" Wang Erniu thought to himself with excitement and strode outside the hall.

Having left the Teleportation Hall, Wang Erniu found himself amidst a bustling city.

The streets were full of traffic, with shops lining both sides selling various Magical Treasures, mostly long swords, along with Elixirs, Spirit Plants, and other items,

The calls and haggling voices rose and fell, creating a lively atmosphere.

Wang Erniu immediately started inquiring about the location of Sword Lake Palace from passersby,

"Excuse me, can you tell me where Sword Lake Palace is?"

"Sword Lake Palace, hahaha, Fellow Daoist, the land beneath your feet is precisely the region of Sword Lake Palace!" The elder chuckled upon hearing this.

Sword Lake Palace, being a major sect in Yizhou, was once a Divinity Transformation Sect. Nowadays, "Shu County Prefecture", "Bazhong Prefecture", "Hanzhong Prefecture", "Wenshan Prefecture", "Meishan Prefecture", "Guanghan Prefecture",

all fall under its jurisdiction, and if not for its Divinity Transformation Ancestor, Sword God Liubai having not appeared for thousands of years, the entire Yizhou would be under its domain.

"I meant the main lineage of Sword Lake Palace!" Wang Erniu then refined his question.

"Main lineage?" The elder cast a curious glance at Wang Erniu,

"Do you not know that only true disciples of Sword Lake Palace can enter its main lineage? You should first visit the Sword Lake Palace Academy within the city!"

The elder shook his head,

"You might not know, but I am a disciple taken by a senior from Sword Lake Palace outside, ranked even above true disciples!" Wang Erniu replied earnestly.

The elder was surprised upon hearing Wang Erniu’s words, scrutinizing him in an attempt to judge the truth of the statement.

However, Wang Erniu’s honest and simple demeanor made it hard for anyone to doubt him.

"I see, then head straight west along this main street, exit the city gates, and fly directly north,"

"About two hundred thousand miles away, you will see a giant mountain shaped like a long sword. That is the main lineage of Sword Lake Palace,"

"However, I must warn you, only Sword Cultivators may approach it, otherwise there is a risk of falling!"

"Thank you for the advice!" Wang Erniu cupped his hands, immediately heading out of the city,

Arriving at the West City Gate, he opened his mouth, a flash of golden light appeared, transforming into a golden Flying Sword over a dozen feet long,

Then he performed the sword-riding flight technique, swiftly heading straight north.

Along the way, mountains and rivers passed beneath like a scroll, and Wang Erniu’s anticipation for Sword Lake Palace grew ever stronger.

Several days later, Wang Erniu saw from a distance the giant mountain shaped like a long sword, piercing the clouds, surrounded by intense Sword Intent, as if it were a peerless divine weapon ready to be unsheathed.

Even before approaching, the immense Sword Intent surged like tremendous waves, enough to make Wang Erniu’s heart tremble despite his preparation.

As he neared the mountain’s base, five beams of Sword Light suddenly descended, surrounding him instantly.

"Who approaches? Why trespass the main lineage of Sword Lake Palace?"

The one leading was a young man in a white robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, imposing presence akin to a soaring long sword, possessing Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivation.

The man shouted sternly, his long sword slightly trembling, pointed directly at Wang Erniu, ready to strike.

Wang Erniu hurriedly stowed away his Flying Sword, cupping his hands and said, "Friends, I am Wang Erniu, here at the invitation of Sword Immortal Liuu He, seeking to pay my respects!"

The disciples exchanged glances upon hearing this, the leading one had a flicker of doubt in his eyes: "Master Liu He has not returned to the mountain in a long time, how could he have invited someone? Do you have proof?"

Wang Erniu quickly took out the Jade Pendant gifted by Liuu He and handed it over: "This is Liuu He’s token for me."

The leading disciple carefully examined the Jade Pendant, his expression changing slightly, quickly returning it respectfully, "Turns out you are indeed a distinguished guest of our master, forgive my offense, please follow me to see the Elder."

Wang Erniu followed these disciples along a winding, steep mountain path upwards.

On both sides of the path, Sword Shadows flickered, Sword Intent Runes appeared faintly on the rocks, one slight misstep could lead to being injured by the Sword Intent.

Wang Erniu was deeply influenced by the intense Sword Dao atmosphere, feeling more at ease, like a fish in water.

Soon, they arrived at a majestic palace front, its gates tightly shut, with the words "Sword Heart Hall" engraved above, the brushstrokes sharp, emanating overwhelming Sword Intent.

The leading disciple stepped forward, lightly knocking the door, and after a moment, it slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with a sword at his waist came out.

This man was dressed in a cyan robe, holding an ancient long sword, exuding a transcendent aura.

He dismissed the mountain guardian disciples,

His eyes like lightning swept over Wang Erniu, slowly said, "You are Wang Erniu?"

"Indeed, Wang Mou." Wang Erniu nodded,

"I am the current Sect Leader, titled True Monarch Qingfeng, my uncle mentioned you to me, but I must verify your Sword Dao skills; otherwise, that Saint Heir position will not gain Guu Mou’s approval!" The middle-aged man slowly said.
