Chapter 169 Luofu Sword Palace
The next morning.
Zhao Mu composed himself and left the house.
He had already gotten over it.
So what if they found out about the kiss?
I risked my life for the empress, what's wrong with me kissing her?
Although I'm not a good person, I'm not an evil person either. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as stealing a kiss.
But then again, he still had to be on guard.
As the saying goes, being with a ruler is like being with a tiger. Since ancient times, it was hard to fathom the thoughts of rulers.
There were too many examples of getting rid of a donkey after it had outlived its usefulness.
Even if he didn't steal a kiss, knowing so many of the empress's secrets, there was a possibility that she would come after him.
Fortunately, he had the system and could observe the empress's favorability towards him at any time.
Once the empress's favorability decreased significantly, it would be time for Zhao Mu to escape.
At most, he could return to Zhao and be a carefree prince. If not, he could go to Gui Yi Sect and continue pretending to be a swindler. That was also a way out.
He hoped that he was just overthinking it.
Not long after, Zhao Mu arrived at the sword array center.
He saw that Grandmaster Ye Chengming and a group of Array Masters were frowning as they looked at the core of the Guardian Formation with worried frowns.
Zhao Mu walked forward and asked, "Grandmaster Ye, what happened?"
"Zhao Mu, you came at the right time. Were you in charge of the eighth array core at the southwest corner of the Hidden Sword Valley yesterday?"
Zhao Mu nodded. "That's me. Yesterday, I followed your instructions and added a layer of Demon Cleansing and Exorcism Array to the Eighth Formation Eye. Is there a problem?"
"This formation has been tampered with by someone. There is a weak point hidden under the divine inscriptions. If I hadn't noticed it when I was patrolling earlier, there would have been a loophole in this protective formation. In the future, when the enemy attacked, they would have easily broken through the protective formation."
Hearing Ye Chengming's words, Zhao Mu frowned. "That shouldn't be. Currently, there are more than three hundred array cores under construction. They are all guarded by specialized swordsmen. How could a demon tamper with the array?"
"The swordsmen guarding the eighth array core have been captured. Although he didn't die, his soul has been extracted, leaving behind a zombie-like body."
"There's a demon hiding in the Sword Immortal Pavilion!" Zhao Mu immediately made a judgment.
Ye Chengming nodded. "I guessed so too. The other party hid very well. Perhaps the demon race planted a spy in the Sword Immortal Pavilion in the early years."
He continued, "Everyone, stay here and guard the array core. I'll go to the Sword God.... Zhao Mu, follow me to the sacred land......................"
Zhao Mu was slightly stunned, but she immediately followed Ye Chengming and flew toward the Fanxing Holy Land.
Originally, he thought that he would only have the opportunity to see the Sword God Qu Liu after he obtained a good ranking in the Sword Trial.
Unfortunately, time was of the essence and he didn't have time to discuss this with the empress.
..........
Soon, the two of them arrived at the Deepstar Holy Land.
Today, Wang Mo was still patrolling. When he saw Grandmaster Ye Chengming, he didn't dare to stop him at all and directly let him pass. He even nodded politely to Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu and Ye Chengming looked at each other and smiled. They continued to follow Ye Chengming. They passed through the entire Multistar Holy Land and arrived at the deepest part of the Holy Land, where they were on a floating sword boat.
This huge flying Immortal boat was called the Luo Fu Sword Palace. It was the core of the Sword Immortal Pavilion and the place where the Sword God Qu Liu cultivated in seclusion.
Arriving at the Luo Fu Sword Palace, Zhao Mu looked back and discovered that the entire Vast Star Sacred Ground and even the Hidden Sword Valley at the lower level seemed to be close at hand. Every corner could be clearly reflected in his eyes.
Standing on the Luo Fu Sword Palace, he could overlook the entire Sword Immortal Pavilion at a glance. All the regions were within his field of vision and there was not a single blind spot.
What was outrageous was that Zhao Mu did not detect the existence of any array here.
What kind of great power was required to achieve such an abnormal sense of space!
This was the strength of a Supreme-Being.
"Brother Qu, I have an important matter to report." Ye Chengming shouted.
In the next second, a transparent sword splendor pierced through the air and landed in front of Ye Chengming.
That sword splendor gradually transformed into a tall and straight man's figure. Although his appearance could not be seen, just from the outline of his body, one could feel a strong oppressive force.
"Little friend Ye, you seem to be in a hurry. I believe it must not be a small matter. My main body is currently refining pills and will need two hours to finish. Little friend, please wait for a moment."
As soon as his voice fell, that sword splendor shattered into countless tiny light spots and dissipated in the air.
Immediately after, a graceful woman in palace attire walked out and invited the two of them to wait in a tea room within the Luo Fu Sword Palace.
After entering the Luo Fu Sword Palace, although he did not see the entire place, just a corner of it was enough to shock Zhao Mu.
The internal structure of the sword palace was extremely mysterious. The space was incomparably huge and empty. The interior was filled with countless huge round balls floating in the air and emitting a strange light.
As far as the eye could see, it was as if they had arrived in a sea of stars.
This was the true origin of the Vast Star Sacred Ground's name.
The so-called tea room was not an ordinary room. Instead, it was a green round ball with a diameter of several hundred meters.
A teahouse was built on top of the sphere.
Seeing the look of astonishment on Zhao Mu's face, Ye Chengming continued, "Little fellow, your horizons have been broadened. It wasn't easy to obtain these constellations, they were all brought back by the Sword God from the starry space outside the Immortal Martial Continent. Look at the largest constellation, it has a diameter of 20 miles and came from a place millions and millions of miles away from the Immortal Martial Continent. Given your cultivation base, even if you don't fear the extreme cold and the vacuum of space, flying back and forth would still require at least a hundred years of time. Yet, the Sword God only used two days to bring it back."
Zhao Mu could not help but gulp.
Moving mountains and seas was nothing compared to that. He was already starting to move the stars. What kind of divine ability was that?!
No wonder Empress Qing Yun said that Celestials were immortals who had yet to ascend. She was absolutely right.
No matter how strong an ordinary cultivator was, it was impossible for them to achieve such a feat.
What was even more outrageous was that there were actually more than twenty of these Heaven Tier cultivators on the Immortal Martial Continent!
Thinking of this, Zhao Mu suddenly felt that this Immortal Martial Continent was truly extraordinary.
When he thought of the fact that the path to immortality was severed, Zhao Mu couldn't help but feel that the Immortal Martial Continent was hiding some secrets.
After all, under normal circumstances, it would already be considered not bad if there were one or two immortals in a small cultivation world. How could the Immortal Martial Continent produce so many Celestials with strength comparable to immortals despite the fact that the path to immortality was severed?
"Grandmaster Ye, have you been acquainted with the Sword God for a very long time?" Zhao Mu asked.
Ye Chengming replied, "It's been quite long, about seven hundred years. At that time, in order to comprehend the profoundness of divine inscriptions, I embarked on the path of roaming the Immortal Martial Continent alone. At that time, the Sword God concealed his identity and entered the mortal world to undergo his tribulation. It was then that I met him. At that time, I didn't know his identity. Now that I think about it, if I knew, I wouldn't have dared to address him as my brother."
Good fellow, there was actually such a past?
"What do you mean by entering the mortal world to undergo his tribulation?" Zhao Mu asked again.
This was a rare opportunity, he naturally wanted to gather more information.
"This old man isn't too sure either. I only know that Celestials aren't favored by the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. If they wish to remain on the Immortal Martial Continent, they would have to undergo tribulation after tribulation. There were once some Celestials who disappeared without a trace. It was said that it was because they failed their tribulation and were devoured by the Heavenly Dao."
