Chapter 61: Sword City

  Ye Chen thought for three days and naturally knew which place Chen Tao was referring to, but Ye Chen also felt it was unbelievable.

  If it was really that place, relying on Ye Chen's current strength to get past would be a pipe dream, so there was Ye Chen standing still for three days.

  It is said that before the great disaster, the world was still peaceful and technological development had reached its peak. For some reason, the spiritual energy on Earth increased, and more and more people began to practice martial arts.

  People who study martial arts are mostly true temperament, and often these people can't stand things that don't go their way, they can't help but take action. Of course, these are all low-level warriors, but this also brings no small chaos to the entire world.

  However, the technology at that time was very advanced, and the martial artists were still unable to withstand bullets. So it was relatively peaceful, but at that moment, five columns of white light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire world. No matter where you were, you could clearly see these five columns of light.

  It's because of these five light pillars that the spiritual energy on Earth has grown rapidly, and also because of these five light pillars that another bright moon was pulled over.

  That's why there are two bright moons in the sky, and for this reason, a monster emerged from those five columns of light, bringing great disaster to the entire world.

  Later, although it was known that the five light pillars were five huge arrays, and they were even opened by humans themselves, which brought these destructive beasts to their homes, but also brought dense heavenly spiritual energy, making everyone's physical quality greatly enhanced, and personal strength grew rapidly.

  The direction that Ye Chen guessed the Yuwang Stele flew in was one of these five great arrays, located at the position of Antarctica.

  This is the southernmost part of the earth, and if you want to get past it, you have to climb mountains and cross oceans.

  Let's not mention crossing mountains and rivers, the danger is unknown, crossing the ocean? With Ye Chen's current skills, it's a one-way trip.

  So even though Ye Chen was anxious and pained in his heart, he couldn't go look for Xiao Xue now, so he quietly stood there for three days, thinking everything through clearly.

  Ye Chen and Chen Tao sat opposite each other. This early spring evening was a bit cool, but for the two of them it didn't amount to much, no need to light a fire or anything.

  "Dust boy, if it's really that place, what do you plan to do?" Chen Tao said with a serious expression.

  "Don't worry, I won't go looking for trouble." Ye Chen smiled and said to Chen Tao, although Xiaoxue's departure made Ye Chen's heart ache, but under the care of Yu Wangbei, Xiaoxue should be safe.

  Yu Wang Bei's mystery was something Ye Chen had witnessed with his own eyes. Even if he himself reached the state of fusion with the divine, it wasn't certain that he could harm Yu Wang Bei in the slightest. The thing that could make even the Ling Long beast flee in terror made Ye Chen feel quite at ease.

  It was just the two of them separating that made Ye Chen feel a sense of loss, always playing the role of big brother, wholeheartedly taking care of Xiao Xue, and striving to make life better. All of this suddenly lost its target, and Ye Chen's heart felt a little confused, not knowing what he should do.

  Although he smiled and said that he would not take his own life, where was the road to the future? Yexin's heart was still very confused, finding Xiaoxue was impossible, at least it was impossible for a while.

  Chen Tao looked at Ye Chen with a smile, but his expression revealed more fatigue and sadness, knowing that Ye Chen was not as cheerful as he seemed on the surface.

  "Xiaoxue is protected by the Yuwang Stele, so nothing will happen to her. When we reach the Fusion Realm, we'll go find Xiaoxue together. For now, what we need to do is quickly raise our strength." Chen Tao said, patting Yechen's shoulder.

  "What you said is right, it's time to increase our strength. Only then can we go find Xiao Xue." Ye Chen's expression became more determined, and he was originally a steady person.

  "We can't stay here. Where are we going?" Seeing Ye Chen had somewhat recovered, Chen Tao asked a very practical question.

  "Uh..." Ye Chen was taken aback by this question, as he had been thinking about Xiao Xue the whole time and hadn't considered where they were going at all.

  Ye Chen thought for a moment, if his guess was correct and Xiaoxue really went to that array in Antarctica, then in order to find Xiaoxue as soon as possible, maybe that method wasn't a bad idea after all. Although it's just a legend, how could it become a legend without any facts?

  Ye Chen didn't care whether it was true or false, he just wanted to try anyway. Even if they couldn't make it, there wouldn't be any loss. Thinking of this, Ye Chen firmly looked towards the southwest direction and said resolutely: "Let's go to Sword City!"

  "What? Sword City?" Chen Tao's voice suddenly rose and then lowered, stuttering a bit as he said: "This... Dust, shouldn't we reconsider this?"

  What is Jiancheng? It's one of the five major main cities, and it's also the first city among the five main cities.

  In the Sword City, anyone can display one or two moves of the ultimate sword art, it is the holy land of swordsmen. Since the establishment of the Sword City, no monster dares to disturb, within a thousand miles around the Sword City, there are no monsters above level three! This is prestige!

  Other main cities are also strong, but compared to Jiancheng, they still feel a level lower, just like Shanghai and Nanjing in the pre-Qin dynasty. Although both are famous cities, when it comes to Shanghai, people's longing is absolutely stronger than Nanjing.

  "No need, let's go to Jiancheng!" Ye Chen said firmly.

  "Hey, Dust, have you thought this through? Sword City is the holy land of swordsmen, but it's also their burial ground. While you don't need identity proof to enter, you must pass through those three heavenly gates. How many people die on that path? You're a swordsman yourself, you know better than anyone. Do you think you can make it past those three heavenly gates?" Chen Tao said loudly.

  "Are you going?" Ye Chen didn't say anything, but instead stared at Chen Tao with his eyes, calmly asking. Xiao Xue's departure made Ye Chen speak less, if it were usual, Ye Chen would definitely explain a bit, now he directly asked if he was going or not, even skipping the explanation.

  Chen Tao looked like a frost-bitten eggplant, his ears perked up, with a listless expression, and said weakly: "Go!"

  At this time, where can Chen Tao go? Besides following Ye Chen, is there another option? In a world full of demonic beasts, walking alone is extremely dangerous, let alone someone who hasn't reached the Xiantian realm yet. It's not just danger, it's seeking death.

  Chen Tao thought to himself, Ye Chen must have seen through this point, that's why he dared to speak so boldly.

  Seeing Chen Tao's response, Ye Chen patted Chen Tao on the shoulder and said: "The five law arrays are interconnected. If you want to avoid crossing the ocean, you can only use the long-distance transmission of the five law arrays. Although this is a legend, it's worth trying."

  Chen Tao suddenly realized that it was no wonder Ye Chen wanted to go to Jian Cheng, as Jian Cheng was built right above the formation. To enter the formation, one must first enter Jian Cheng.

  It seems Ye Chen still hasn't given up and is going to look for Xiao Xue now.

  Chen Tao finally agreed to go with Ye Chen to that Sword City which he had heard of but never seen before.
