July 8th, afternoon.
The Wind Vulture darted out of the clouds and lowered its speed to below the speed of sound.
Ye Chen only felt his vision brighten, and the mountains and rivers below were all imprinted in his eyes.
But very quickly, he was dumbfounded.
In the area of 500 kilometers below, the mountain peaks rose and fell without end. Some were lofty and majestic, some were verdant and elegant, some were shaped like dragons, and some were crouching like tigers. The dense energy of heaven and earth converged into a thin layer of mist that coiled around the peaks of the mountain peaks, and it gave off a special feeling of immortality.
Between the mountains were lakes of various sizes. Looking down from above, the smallest of the lakes was only the size of a fingernail. They were scattered all over the place, and they were of various colors. At a glance, it was impossible to tell how many there were.
In the center of this area, dozens of precipitous mountain peaks converged to form a valley. The color of the valley was dark green, like the primordial jadeite formed by heaven and earth, exquisite without losing its grandeur. Looking inside, there were hundreds of lakes of various sizes in the valley. Buildings were built around the lakes in an orderly fashion, contrasting with the environment outside the valley, forming a large and a small scene.
"What a wonderful place!" Ye Chen opened his mouth and spat out these words.
Luo Hanshan explained to Ye Chen, "There are a total of one thousand three hundred and thirty-two mountains and nine thousand eight hundred lakes around the Emerald Martial Palace, which is known as the 'Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Rivers'. Apart from this, on the mountains that form the Emerald Martial Palace, there is a kind of stone called 'Fragrant Jade', which emits a nice aroma all year round, and is called 'Jade Fragrance'. Combining these two, it becomes the famous' Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Rivers, Jade Fragrance '. Once the martial artists from the Windy Nation and even other nations mention this name, they will definitely think of the rank seven martial institution, the Emerald Martial Palace."
Ye Chen praised, "Thousands of mountains and tens of thousands of rivers, jadeite fragrance lingers, it really makes one daydream."
The Head Elder snorted coldly and said, "It is indeed a paradise, but the Emerald Martial Palace is only a latecomer. Three thousand years ago, the rank six martial institution, Mountain and Water Pavilion, used to occupy this place."
"That's right. Back then, the Emerald Martial Palace was just a small, unranked martial institution. The first leader of the Emerald Martial Palace accidentally found the ruins of the Mountain and Water Pavilion, and found the incomplete [Great Art of Mountain and Water] from there. He trained hard for more than ten years, and once he was born, he became famous in the martial world, and built a solid foundation for the Emerald Martial Palace." The Fourth Elder's voice was filled with envy and passion.
It was a remnant of the Great Art of Landscape.
It seemed to be very powerful! Ye Chen thought.
The Wind Vulture flew over thousands of mountains and rivers, arriving at the entrance of the Emerald Valley.
The entrance of the valley had a radius of hundreds of zhang, and the terrain was flat. Quite a few famous warriors had entered the valley in groups, and some important ones had also come on the back of their beasts, just like the Sky Cloud Martial School. But of course, the mounts of their beasts were obviously not as good as the Wind Vultures.
The Wind Vulture landed on the ground along with a fierce gale.
An outer elder of the Emerald Martial Palace walked up to them with four deacons. "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen! Sorry for not going out to greet you!"
The Head Elder let the Wind Vulture move freely, then grinned and said, "It seems that we've arrived first."
"Haha, the Sky Cloud Martial School has been very high-profile recently! You're number one in everything, but what's the point of fighting for number one in small matters? "
The Double-Headed Giant Bat flew over quickly, and the middle-aged man in the lead opened his mouth and said.
The Fourth Elder's face was filled with displeasure. The middle-aged man's name was Zhu Li, and he was about the same age as the First Elder. Because he practiced a special cultivation technique, he looked to be in his forties, and his Qi and blood were vigorous.
Taking a deep breath, the Fourth Elder raised his voice and said, "I didn't believe it at first. It turns out that people from the Purple Sun Martial House all have loud voices. I heard your roar from tens of miles away."
"Having a loud voice isn't a bad thing. I'm just afraid that some people don't have the energy to shout loudly." The two-headed bat landed on the ground. Zhu Li took the lead and walked down.
"Look! The Sky Cloud Martial School and the Purple Sun Martial School are arguing again!"
"Among the top five martial institutions, the Purple Sun Martial School and the Sky Cloud Martial School have the most grievances. I heard that when the Sky Cloud Martial School was encircling the remaining forces of the Nine Evil Cult, the Purple Sun Martial School set up a trap for the Sky Cloud Martial School, causing a lot of powerful martial artists of the Sky Cloud Martial School to suffer heavy casualties. After a few years, the Sky Cloud Martial School was reduced to a rank 9 martial institution. However, the Sky Cloud Martial School was not a force to be trifled with. They released fake news and tricked the previous leader of the Purple Sun Martial School to the place where the remaining forces of the Nine Evil Cult gathered, causing him to die without a complete corpse."
"There's such a secret! No wonder the two forces have always been like fire and water. "
Many people nearby were discussing in low voices.
Normally, people from the Emerald Martial Palace would be happy to see the two forces fighting each other to the death. However, this was the territory of the Emerald Martial Palace, and tomorrow was the celebration banquet. If they really let them fight, the Emerald Martial Palace would lose all of its face. A few outer elders of the Emerald Martial Palace hurriedly said, "Your accommodations have been prepared, please follow us."
"Huh!" Zhu Li flicked his sleeves and left. Ouyang Ming, who was behind him, threw a meaningful glance at Ye Chen.
On the other side, the Head Elder's anger disappeared, he said to Ye Chen and the others, "Let's go."
After the two groups of people had left, it suddenly started raining. The black-scaled beast carried the people from the Rudra Martial School to this place.
…
Inside the Emerald Martial Palace.
Numerous lakes appeared in front of them, all calm and peaceful.
"The Emerald Martial Palace is indeed a rank 7 martial institution, it is indeed a beautiful place."
"Wow, compared to this place, my place is like a mountain, totally not at the same level."
"The lotuses in the lake are all precious herbs, the Green Lotus. And those fishes, they are all rare ancient fishes!"
Hearing people's praises, Ye Chen had to admit that in terms of environment, the Windy Mountain of the Sky Cloud Martial School was miles ahead of the Emerald Martial Palace. It was not even worth mentioning. He wondered how the environment of the North Snow Martial Academy, which was also a rank 7 martial institution, would be.
There were many people who came to congratulate the Emerald Martial Palace. Those who did not have much influence were basically arranged to stay near the lakes in the outer area of the Emerald Martial Palace, where there were many beautiful courtyards. Those who had some influence were arranged to stay in the inner area, where the environment was much better. As one of the top five martial institutions, the Sky Cloud Martial School was arranged to stay in the innermost area, which was close to the main buildings of the Emerald Martial Palace.
On the road between the lakes, Ye Chen inadvertently glanced over, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.
In front of him, a group of young men and women in green robes were talking and laughing. Judging from the Zhen Qi vibration, they were not any weaker than the top-ranked inner disciples of the Sky Cloud Martial School. Two of them were releasing immeasurable Zhen Qi, which meant that they had obviously reached the level of the top-ranked core disciples of the Sky Cloud Martial School.
The one on the left had a graceful figure and an extremely beautiful appearance, like an orchid in a deserted valley. Her every move attracted the thoughts of the male disciples. Standing next to her was a tall and straight male disciple. He was handsome and had a noble temperament. There was a faint aura of a king on his body. He was obviously not an ordinary person.
Luo Hanshan, who was standing beside Ye Chen, recognized the beautiful girl. She was Ji Xueyan, who had accompanied the 'Palm End' Liu Wuxiang to visit the Sky Cloud Martial School half a year ago. She was a disciple of the Ji Family, and judging from what had happened that day, she seemed to be closely related to Ye Chen.
"Brother Ye, we have arrived at our place, let's go!" Luo Hanshan patted on Ye Chen's shoulder.
Ye Chen took back his sight, his expression didn't change at all.
Led by an outer elder of the Emerald Martial Palace, the five of them walked towards the luxurious yard beside the huge lake.
From afar, Ji Xueyan saw that familiar silhouette and slightly frowned. The tall and handsome male disciple standing beside her asked with concern, "Sister Ji, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Brother Shi. "
Ji Xueyan was sure that that man was Ye Chen. She didn't expect that after half a year, he, who was only at Mortal Realm Stage 6, had already reached such a high level. If that was all, she wouldn't have been too surprised. But what she didn't expect was that besides the rapid improvement of his cultivation, he had also mastered the half-step sword intent, which was the dream of every sword artist. In just a couple of days, the name Ye Chen had spread across the entire Windy Nation. Among all the martial artists, there wasn't a single person who didn't know about him. His fame had even caught up with the top and second disciples of all the top martial institutions.
