...
"Is this the location of the Sword God Palace?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but be somewhat surprised as he looked at the city in front of him.
He originally thought that as the city where the Sword God Palace was located, its prosperity might not be comparable to the headquarters of the Martial Spirit Hall, the Martial Spirit City in the Douluo Continent, but it should at least be on par with the imperial cities of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo empires.
However, he didn't expect that this city in front of him seemed to be even less impressive than the dozen or so cities they had passed by.
This city appeared too ordinary, and it seemed to lower the status of being a holy land. This surprised Zeng Yi.
"Yes, this is the city closest to the Sword God Palace, East Pole City."
"The city closest to the Sword God Palace? East Pole City?" Zeng Yi looked at Sword Saint Chen Mu beside him, somewhat surprised.
Sword Saint Chen Mu pointed to the sky.
"Take a closer look, what do you see?"
At Chen Mu's words, Zeng Yi looked carefully and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
There was a mountain, towering high into the sky, seemingly boundless, with no peak in sight, resembling a giant divine sword piercing the heavens.
What surprised Zeng Yi even more was that if Sword Saint Chen Mu had not reminded him and he hadn't looked closely, he wouldn't have noticed the majestic mountain behind East Pole City.
It was covered by an array and had the ability to make its existence unconsciously blurry.
Without a certain level of cultivation, one could not have noticed the existence of such a mountain that resembled a pillar supporting the sky.
Just like Mo Xiao at the side, who had a bewildered look on his face.
"What's in the sky? What's up there?"
Mo Xiao looked up at the sky with a confused expression, but all he could see was the blue sky, white clouds, and two birds flying by.
Sword Saint Chen Mu chuckled, "Let's go, let's enter the city."
"Alright." Zeng Yi nodded. He couldn't wait to see what the so-called Sword God Palace would look like.
However, when they were less than a kilometer away from the gate of East Pole City, Zeng Yi felt a suppression on his body's power.
Moreover, this suppression was not trivial.
He couldn't help but frown and look at Sword Saint Chen Mu beside him.
Mo Xiao felt the same way.
"Sister, I feel like some unknown force is suppressing my strength."
"What's the big deal? I feel the same way too."
"What's going on?" Zeng Yi looked at Sword Saint Chen Mu with confusion.
Sword Saint Chen Mu explained, "This is the power of the Divine Prohibition. The Sword God Palace has had this power since its existence."
"Divine Prohibition?"
"Yes, anyone who approaches the vicinity of the Sword God Palace's domain will be restricted by this Divine Prohibition. All spirit skills, whether it's spirit ring abilities or spirit bone abilities, cannot be used."
"Therefore, the only skills that can be used inside the Sword God Palace are skills that do not rely on spirit skills, such as self-created spirit skills or various sword techniques."
After listening to Sword Saint Chen Mu's explanation, Zeng Yi secretly activated his spirit skills and as expected, he couldn't use them.
"This Divine Prohibition is quite interesting, hahaha."
Zeng Yi couldn't help but laugh.
This Sword God Palace was indeed a very interesting place. They couldn't use spirit skills and could only rely on self-created spirit skills or sword techniques.
You should know that spirit skills were extremely important for spirit masters, as without them, they would lose a large part of their strength.
Especially for those who don't know how to attack without spirit skills, it's a fatal blow.
...
Permanent silence!
That's why Zeng Yi found the Sword God Palace interesting.
From this point, it can be seen that the swordsmen of the Sword God Palace didn't rely much on the abilities brought by spirit skills and were more convinced by their own swordsmanship.
If that's the case, the spirit masters here wouldn't be ordinary people.
Placed on the Douluo Continent, they would be the elite spirit masters of the same level.
After all, the concept of spirit masters there is that spirit skills are everything, the foundation of one's strength. Those who can create their own spirit skills are extremely rare.
On the other hand...
It forcefully silences the spirit skills, forcing them to focus on sword techniques and develop their own moves and skills.
One has to admit, it's really interesting.
Even Zeng Yi, with his strength as a Level 75 Spirit Saint, whose power is equivalent to a Titled Douluo powerhouse, would not be able to achieve that level without those spirit skills.
However, Zeng Yi also had many sword moves. After all, the [Wind Sword Art] was present, along with his comprehension ability and domain.
Therefore, this Divine Prohibition didn't have a particularly big impact on Zeng Yi. It wouldn't be a problem for him to be on par with a Average Titled Douluo.
At least, in this fair place where everyone was silenced, this advantage would be infinitely magnified.
Now, Zeng Yi couldn't wait to meet the other Sword Saints on the Sword God Palace.
Anyone who can become a Sword Saint must have reached the realm of [Unity of Heaven and Man], having a clear understanding of the sword. They all have their own unique interpretations of swordsmanship.
Zeng Yi couldn't wait to have a battle with these Sword Saints.
After all, they were all practitioners of the sword. They would definitely be eager to exchange sword techniques.
As for Sword Saint Chen Mu?
Zeng Yi had already had many exchanges with him during this period of time, so he was no longer interested in him.
Soon, the four of them entered the city gate and walked into the city.
"Do you want to rest in the city for a night and go up the mountain tomorrow, or go up now?" Sword Saint Chen Mu looked at the group and asked.
"Of course we're going now!" Mo Xiao excitedly said.
Now that they were at the foot of the Sword God Palace, which was their dream holy land, Mo Xiao couldn't wait to see what it looked like.
What's the point of staying at an inn when you can stay in the palace itself?
Sword Saint Chen Mu looked at the other two, Zeng Yi and Mo Xin, and they both nodded, agreeing with this.
"Alright then, but don't regret it."
"Regret? Why would we regret?" Mo Xiao looked at Sword Saint Chen Mu with confusion.
But Sword Saint Chen Mu didn't answer his question, he just smiled and remained silent.
The four of them walked along the main street. Mo Xiao had a curious look on his face, looking around with wonder and occasionally letting out exclamations, just like a country bumpkin.
...
In East Pole City, there were also many people on the streets.
As a holy land, the small city at the foot of the Sword God Palace's sacred mountain was also very prosperous and lively.
As they walked, Zeng Yi suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness behind him, as if a sharp sword was pointed at his back.
Who is it?
Zeng Yi's hair stood on end, and he quickly turned around to look.
He immediately squinted his eyes.
Standing a hundred meters behind him was a figure.
It turned out to be her!
Zeng Yi was frightened.
Because that person was the white-haired woman he saw while lost in the spiritual world.
Her eyes, like still water, coldly stared at him.
Their gazes met.
Zeng Yi felt that even his spirit was about to freeze.
Who is this person? Why is she targeting him?
Just as he had this thought in his mind, a cry came from behind.
"Zeng Yi, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and catch up!"
Mo Xin's voice snapped Zeng Yi out of his daze. When he looked again, the woman's figure had disappeared.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you daydreaming like that?"
Zeng Yi turned around and found Mo Xin standing in front of him.
"Nothing."
Zeng Yi shook his head and looked at Sword Saint Chen Mu, asking, "Senior, did you see a white haired woman?"
"White haired woman? Here?" Sword Saint Chen Mu shook his head, looking at Zeng Yi strangely.
Could it be that he was confused by some Evil Spirit again?
Impossible, how could Evil Spirits dare to enter the territory where the Sword God Palace was located?
"Maybe I'm just tired and hallucinating." Zeng Yi smiled and continued to follow the group.
However, Zeng Yi remained cautious.
According to reason, white hair is a very striking color, and as a Sword Saint at Chen Mu's level, he should have noticed every passerby, but he didn't notice the white haired woman's presence.
If it wasn't his own vision playing tricks on him, it seems that the mysterious woman's strength exceeded his imagination.
Moreover, this was a Divine Prohibition. It could appear like a ghost in such a place.
Could she be a God?
