Chapter 236 - 236: 8: Spiritual Mountains Blessed Land 2
Zhao Huai thought to himself.
“We are the gatekeepers of Longquan Gate, responsible for guarding the main gate today. Just show me your identification.” said one of the beautiful women wearing a red dress.
This woman was a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm among the few people present. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, her figure slender, and a mini Guqin hung around her snow-white neck, giving her an ethereal aura like a fairy. Comparing her to Qiu Yueqing, she didn’t give her much of an edge.
“Here.”
Liu Gongren took out the jade token and handed it to the woman. The other party poured in her magic power, checked it, and then gave up.
“And this is…”
The eyes of the woman in the red dress looked at Zhao Huai beside her.
“This person has the invitation of the Eternal Taoist Temple Master. He is an honored guest, Fairy, please be lenient.” Liu Gongren said with a smile. “Without an identity token as a guarantee , what if a devil cultivator enters instead?” The woman in the red dress frowned and looked very strict.
Zhao Huai stroked his chin and looked at Elder Liu curiously.
Since there was an invitation, how could there be no one to receive them? Otherwise, there would be a mix-up.
“Sorry, sorry, I’m late!”
At this moment, a loud voice came from a distance.
The group looked towards the horizon to see a young man in a white crane Taoist robe riding a flying sword.
Zhao Huai saw the person and smiled, a familiar face had arrived.
The one who came by the flying sword was none other than the latecomer, the Senior Brother of the Eternal Taoist Temple, Gu Tianji.
“Gu Tianji, is this your sect’s person?” The woman in the red dress turned her head and asked.
Gu Tianji apologized: “Yes, I drank too much and Master called me to receive the guest. I didn’t expect him to arrive so soon.”
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Huai and said with a faint smile: “Your Highness, didn’t I give you a token? Do you remember it?”
“Token
Zhao Huai suddenly remembered that Gu Tianji indeed gave him a token when they parted.
He took out a jade token from the black ring.
Gu Tianji took the token, threw it to the woman in the red dress, and said arrogantly:
“Fairy Cai, check it.”
The woman in the red dress, with an indifferent expression on her face, took the jade token and infused it with spiritual qi again, finding that there was indeed no problem.
“Can we go now?” Gu Tianji asked with a smile.
After checking the jade token, the woman in the red dress looked at Zhao Huai. Her gaze showed a slight surprise, as if she knew something and asked:
“You are the Crown Prince of Yan Country?”
Zhao Huai did not know what information was hidden in the jade token, so he could only nod in admission.
“Yes, I am.”
Upon hearing Zhao Huai’s identity, the gatekeeper female disciples couldn’t help but take another look at Zhao Huai, examining him carefully.
The woman in the red dress did not show any other reaction, but thought for a moment and said:
“It’s the jade token from the Eternal Taoist Temple. You may go.”
“Your Highness, please follow me.”
Gu Tianji took the lead, and after looking around, Zhao Huai followed him. After Zhao Huai left, the gatekeeper female disciples began to discuss.
“He’s the Crown Prince, so handsome.”
“So many messages are spreading out in the Mortal World, saying that the world is divided into two factions. I have been curious, but I didn’t expect him to be so young. With his root and bone quality, I guess he’s not even fifty years old.
“Why did he come to the Spiritual Mountains?”
In the Spiritual Mountains, where cultivation was the focus and it was extremely dull, discussing gossip about the Mortal World was something they loved to do.
Compared to the curiosity of these people, the woman in the red dress was much more calm. She coldly shouted:
“All right, stop chatting and keep an eye on the gate. At this time, we can’t be careless.”
The female disciples immediately behaved
“Yes.”
Above the Immortal Peak, several people were riding swords.
Gu Tianji was walking in front while introducing the customs and people of the Spiritual Mountains, smiling: “It’s a special time so the checks are stricter. Please understand.”
Zhao Huai nodded in understanding since he didn’t really care about it in the first place.
“The gatekeeper just now is called Cai Yuxiang, a True Disciple of the Heavenly Star Sacred Sect. She’s very strict and serious, not indulging in laughter, and hardworking. Besides, it was her duty. If it were someone else, they would have let Your Highness in a long time ago. It’s also my fault for being late because of drinking.”
Suddenly,
Zhao Huai looked up at the sky and furrowed his brows.
For some reason, he felt a strong Divine Insight had swept over his body.
He had the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and national destiny protection, making his senses particularly acute.
“What’s wrong?”
Gu Tianji saw that something was off with him and asked concernedly.
“I feel someone.”
“Oh, that’s normal.”
Gu Tianji laughed and explained: “These are the Sword-wielders of the Limitless Immortal Sect. Your Highness doesn’t need to be nervous. You also know about the disturbances in these days, that’s why each of the sect’s gates in the Spiritual Mountains is guarded.”
“These devil cultivators are really worrisome. If it weren’t for them, it wouldn’t have turned out this way.”
“What kind of person is this Sword-wielder? I’ve heard about them more than once.” Zhao Huai asked with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Gu Tianji explained: “The so-called Sword-wielder, they are the descendants of the ten disciples under the Limitless Sword Immortal.
In the Ancient Period, there were constant wars, and the Sword Immortal fought and never returned. As a result, his ten disciples stepped forward to take charge, guarding the sect and called themselves Sword-wielders. The former Sword-wielders have passed away, but this tradition has been preserved to this day, nurturing the Ten Swordsmen.”
“Sword Immortal.”
Upon hearing this word, a trace of eagerness couldn’t help but flash in Zhao Huai’s eyes.
Becoming a Sword Immortal was the ultimate pursuit of every sword cultivator.
However, since ancient times, the number of people who could be called Sword Immortals had been very few.
All of them were stunningly talented and outstanding figures in their own era.
Gu Tianji continued to introduce what was ahead..
