Everyone in the Ninth Sword City was talking about the sword cultivator who had passed the ninety-nine stages of the Earth Sword. They were trying to find out more about him.
However, Chen Zong had come from the Trade Winds Tower in the Myriad Yuan Territory, and the Myriad Yuan Territory was separated by a total of three territories. It was incomparably far away, and unless one took the initiative to ask Chen Zong, and if Chen Zong was willing to tell them, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to gather information in a short period of time. After all, the distance was too great.
Chen Zong was immediately invited by Elder Tiger Zhi as soon as he walked out of the Earth Sword Pass. He did not go to Elder Tiger Zhi's residence in the Ninth Sword City, but set off directly for Taihao Mountain.
Taihao Mountain was surrounded by twelve sword cities. Taihao Mountain was at the center of the twelve sword cities. It looked like a mountain, a mountain that seemed to be endlessly high.
Elder Tiger Zhi was driving the space-crossing divine boat. Chen Zong and Elder Tiger Zhi were on the divine boat.
"Let me tell you about the structure of Taihao Mountain." Elder Tiger Zhi first asked Chen Zong for some simple information, then told Chen Zong. Chen Zong was all ears.
"Taihao Mountain is a general name. There are three halls, namely the Main Hall, the Senior Statesman Hall, and the Heavenly Punishment Hall. The Main Hall is where the Lord of Taihao Mountain resides. The Senior Statesman Hall is where the nine Senior Statesmen reside. The Heavenly Punishment Hall is where the punishment of the entire Taihao Mountain is carried out.
"The 36 peaks are divided into the four main peaks, the eight main peaks, and the 24 subsidiary peaks. Each peak has its own inheritance, and there are many Sword Principle experts in each peak. If each peak was placed in the outside world, it would be equivalent to an Emperor-level force."
"In addition, there are eight academies that are independent of the thirty-six peaks. They each have their own duties. For example, the Divine Elixir Academy is in charge of refining elixirs, the Divine Weapon Academy is in charge of refining divine weapons, the Divine Skill Academy is in charge of researching divine skills, and the Divine Formation Academy is in charge of formations. In terms of strength, they are not inferior to the thirty-six peaks.
"The nineteen secret realms form a world of their own, each with its own mysteries.
"Seventy-two cave abodes, each of which represents a powerful Emperor-level Sword Dao expert."
Elder Tiger Zhi explained to Chen Zong one by one. In fact, Tianhe had mentioned this before, but it was only a brief mention. It was not as detailed as Elder Tiger Zhi.
Chen Zong listened very carefully and was even more surprised.
Taihao Mountain was actually so powerful.
36 Peaks, 8 Great Academies, 19 Secret Realms, 72 Caves
Although Elder Tiger Zhi didn't explain the mystery of it in detail, just hearing the way he addressed him was enough to give him a very shocking feeling.
There were 36 peaks, and each peak was equivalent to an Imperial level force. In other words, Taihao Mountain seemed to be made up of 36 Imperial level forces. No, the 36 peaks were only a part of it. The eight great schools each had their own duties, and their overall strength was not inferior to the 36 peaks, which meant that they were not inferior to Imperial level forces.
Thirty-six plus eight meant that there were forty-four Emperor-level forces. There were also others, such as the so-called seventy-two cave abodes, each of which was owned by a Jiandi level expert.
Look at the Trade Wind Tower. It was powerful, wasn't it?
Yes, the Trade Wind Tower was indeed very powerful. It was an Emperor-level force. A complete Trade Wind Tower had two Emperor-level experts. Of course, among the many Emperor-level forces, the Trade Wind Tower could only be considered average. Some powerful Emperor-level forces even had more than ten Emperor-level experts. Those were the most tyrannical Emperor-level forces in the universe.
However, even such a force was indescribable when compared to Taihao Mountain.
There were more than a hundred Emperor-level experts in Taihao Mountain.
More than a hundred Emperor-level experts. Just thinking about it made Chen Zong tremble. It was too shocking.
Was this the strength of the Sword Dao Holy Land, Taihao Mountain?
If there were so many Emperor-level experts, then what about Emperor-level experts?
Wouldn't there be many times more? As for King-level experts, there was no need to talk about them. As for Fourth Realm Monarchs, it was indescribable.
His heart trembled.
But at the same time, Chen Zong felt an indescribable excitement and excitement.
Was this the strength of a Holy Land?
Indeed, it was very attractive.
Thinking about it, Chen Zong thought of Sword Grinding Mountain.
Sword Grinding Mountain was also a famous Holy Land of Sword Dao millions of years ago. How did it compare to Taihao Mountain?
Although Chen Zong had obtained the various legacies of the Sword Sharpening Mountain, he still knew little about the Sword Sharpening Mountain. After all, everything that he had seen when he entered the Sword Sharpening Mountain with his consciousness was not complete. He could not represent the entire Sword Sharpening Mountain.
Now, Chen Zong was more and more interested in Sword Grinding Mountain. In any case, he had received the inheritance, so it was always good to know more about it.
He hoped that there were books and records about Sword Grinding Mountain in Taihao Mountain.
"I am an elder of the outer mountain of Tianguang Peak, one of the twenty-four peaks. My current task is to guard the Ninth Sword City and guide the sword practitioners who can pass the Earth Sword Test." Elder Tiger Zhi explained some information about Taihao Mountain to Chen Zong, then said, "Generally speaking, foreign sword practitioners who pass the thirty-three tests of the Earth Sword have only one choice if they want to join Taihao Mountain, and that is to join the Earth Sword Army and help guard the twelve sword cities. Generally, they have to guard for more than ten years before they are qualified to receive the basic cultivation resources of Taihao Mountain."
"The longer you guard, the more cultivation resources you will receive in the end."
Chen Zong listened quietly. This was undoubtedly the lowest level of treatment, but for many people, it was also a good opportunity. After all, Taihao Mountain's strength was too strong, at least ten times stronger than those Emperor-level forces.
That kind of strength was not limited to the number of Emperor-level and Emperor-level masters. No matter how strong the Emperor-level forces were, they couldn't compare to the Holy Land because the Holy Land had a Saint.
The power of a Saint could suppress the universe.
A Saint could easily destroy a force with several Emperor-level masters. It was like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, without any resistance.
No matter how strong the Emperor-level forces were, they were nothing in front of a Saint.
The reason why the Holy Land was called a Holy Land was because it had a Saint. Without a Saint, even if it had the resources of a Holy Land, it would decline over time and eventually be demoted.
"If you pass the sixty-sixth test, you will have more choices," Elder Tiger Zhi said.
Passing the thirty-third test represented one level, while passing the sixty-sixth test represented another level. There was a huge difference between the two levels.
Therefore, passing the thirty-third test would only give you the most ordinary treatment of Taihao Mountain. You would first become a member of the Earth Sword Army, then slowly accumulate merits and receive the resources of Taihao Mountain.
However, after passing the sixty-sixth stage, one would have a different choice. If one were to join the Earth Sword Army, they would be able to obtain a certain status within the army. With this status, not only would they be able to command the Earth Sword soldiers, they would also be able to enjoy the cultivation resources of Mount Taihao even faster.
The other choice was to truly become a disciple of Taihao Mountain.
The Thirty-Six Peaks
Or the Eight Great Academies
Of course, because they weren't recruited from the very beginning, but were Fourth Realm cultivators who already had their own legacies, it wasn't that easy to formally enter the Taihao Mountain. They had to go through a lot of investigation, and if the investigation didn't pass, then they could only join the Earth Sword Army or not join the Taihao Mountain.
However, there was another way, and that was to become a disciple of Taihao Mountain or a sword guard of a master.
As for now, Chen Zong had passed the ninety-ninth test, the Earth Sword Test. This result was extremely shocking for a foreign sword cultivator.
"The disciples of Taihao Mountain are divided into four levels," Elder Tiger Zhi said. "From lowest to highest, they are the Sworn Sword Disciples, the Observant Sword Disciples, the Sword Wielding Disciples, and the Sword Way Saint.
"The Sworn Sword Disciples, the Observant Sword Disciples, and the Sword Wielding Disciples belong to the thirty-six peaks. The Sword Way Saint belongs to the entire Taihao Mountain. Their strength and status are completely different.
"Those who have passed the sixty-sixth test and choose to become a disciple of Taihao Mountain are the Sworn Sword Disciples. However, you have passed the ninety-ninth test. Logically speaking, there is hope for you to become a Observant Sword Disciple, but you need to fight for it," Elder Tiger Zhi said.
The Sworn Sword Disciples were at the level of Tian He and Ba Yi. In the system of Taihao Mountain, they were the most basic existence apart from the Earth Sword Army.
To put it bluntly, the people of the Earth Sword Army were at the level of preparatory disciples.
However, no matter how basic a Sworn Sword Disciple was, they were still official disciples of Taihao Mountain.
If they were Observant Sword Disciples, then they were one level higher than Sworn Sword Disciples. The treatment they could enjoy was naturally one level higher.
The speed of the space-crossing divine boat was very fast. It was the speed of a Fifth Realm King. However, it was not easy to reach Taihao Mountain. It would take some time.
Suddenly, a sword light flew from the side and blocked the front of the space-crossing divine boat. Sword Qi exploded and turned into a sword screen that rippled like water, blocking the space-crossing divine boat.
Elder Tiger Zhi also controlled the space-crossing divine boat to stop at the critical moment. Otherwise, it would have crashed into the screen.
"Damn it. Who dares to stop me?" Elder Tiger Zhi was furious after stopping the space-crossing divine boat.
No one would be happy if they were in such a situation.
However, this place was close to Taihao Mountain. Only people from Taihao Mountain would dare to act recklessly here.
"Tiger Zhi, it's not a good habit to eat alone." The ripple-like sword curtain dispersed. An old man wearing a blue robe was standing in front of the space-crossing divine ship. He was holding a blue sword that was like water. There was a smile on his face and his eyes were slightly squinted. He looked very kind, but it gave Chen Zong the feeling that he was smiling while wearing a mask.
The elder squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Zong. It was as if he wanted to see through Chen Zong.
"You must be Chen Zong, the one who passed the ninety-nine stages of the Earth Sword. Nice to meet you. I am Chao He, the outer mountain elder of Gulan Peak." The elder in blue robe said with a smile, ignoring Elder Tiger Zhi. "Gulan Peak is one of the Eight Righteous Peaks. It is stronger than Tianguang Peak. It is more suitable for a genius swordsman like you to join."
"What a joke. Chen Zong passed the sword stage in the Ninth Sword City. That is under my jurisdiction." Elder Tiger Zhi's expression changed as he argued.
He had no choice. This old man Chao He was here to compete for Chen Zong.
It was not an easy task to pass the ninety-ninth test. Such a heavenly talent would of course join Tianguang Peak.
The thirty-six peaks belonged to Taihao Mountain, but they all had their own independent inheritance. Naturally, there was a competitive relationship between them.
