Chapter 160: Palm Formation

Soon, the group reached the halfway point of the mountain.

The first half of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Road was relatively easy. Although Zhao Mu had to distract himself with Tang Qing, he basically did not feel any pressure. However, after entering the second half, the surroundings began to have a faint pressure of sword intent.

Zhao Mu himself did not care, but it was a little difficult to do his best to ensure Tang Qing's safety.

It was not because of how strong the pressure of the sword intent was.

But he was not sure of Tang Qing's ability to bear it, and was afraid that he would hurt her if he protected her too much.

Tang Qing suddenly took Zhao Mu's arm and whispered: "Master, don't worry about me, Qing'er can bear it."

"Then let's speed up and finish early." Zhao Mu nodded.

Seeing this, Wu Qiyuan took Wu Miaomiao and took the initiative to walk to the front, sharing most of the pressure of the sword intent for the two.

Zhao Mu nodded secretly. The Wu family brothers and sisters can get along well, and the pattern is great.

Finally, after trekking 36,000 steps, the group finally crossed the Heavenly Sword Cloud Road and stepped into the Sword Immortal Pavilion.

Looking ahead, there was a huge valley in the shape of a broad sword.

After the Heavenly Sword Cloud Road, there was the tip of the sword in the valley.

Being pointed directly at by the ‘giant sword’, a mighty sword intent rushed towards him, which made Zhao Mu instinctively stand in awe.

The entire Sword Immortal Pavilion seemed to be a giant sword, containing terrifying sword intent.

Those with weaker strength might not be able to bear it, and it was not suitable to live in the Sword Immortal Pavilion at all.

“This is the Hidden Sword Valley. It is said that the further you go in, the stronger the pressure of the sword intent becomes. The hilt area at the end is difficult for even the cultivators in the Transformation Realm to approach.” Wu Qiyuan said. This was not his first time to come to the Sword Immortal Pavilion, but it was the first time for his brothers and sisters to follow him to travel and study, so he said this to them.

Zhao Mu suddenly asked curiously, "Isn't the Starry Holy Land here?"

"After the Hidden Sword Valley, the Starry Holy Land is behind. Sword God Qu Liu and hundreds of disciples of the Sword Fairy Pavilion live in the Starry Holy Land. It is difficult for outsiders to approach. As for the Hidden Sword Valley, most of the people living there are sword disciples, guest officials, and management personnel." Wu Qiyuan explained patiently.

Zhao Mu frowned slightly.

This is not good news.

If the Saint Yuan Patriarch is really in the Sword Fairy Pavilion, he is probably imprisoned in the Starry Holy Land.

If you can't enter the Starry Holy Land even if you become a guest official, that would be troublesome.

No matter what, let's sneak in first and then act according to the situation.

"Are you here to apply for the guest official position?"

At this time, a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes came flying on a sword.

Wu Qiyuan immediately replied, "That's right, please inform me, little brother."

"Three gods, three Nascent Souls, okay, just follow me, I will take you to the Guest Officials Court to find the head of the house."

After that, the young man turned around and flew away first.

Zhao Mu and his companions followed him without further ado.

Zhao Mu summoned his second-grade Taoist flying sword, the Sword of Destruction, and took Tang Qing's hand and walked up.

As the Sword of Destruction came out, Wu Qiyuan and his companions cast surprised glances at him.

"Excuse me, but may I ask which wealthy family Brother Zhao is from?"

Taoist instruments and magic weapons are extremely precious, and they cannot be easily owned. The Wu family is also a wealthy family, and the family has been incense for thousands of years. The foundation is good, but there are only two or three Taoist instruments that can be shown off, and they are not lucky enough to enjoy them.

Zhao Mu summoned a Taoist flying sword casually, which shows how rich his financial resources are.

He turned out to be a wealthy man.

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "I am just a commoner in the mountains, not worth mentioning."

If he said that he was a disciple of the Demon Sect, I am afraid that Wu Qiyuan and his companions would stay away from him in an instant.

Shengyuan Demon Sect still has some reputation in Xianwu Continent, but it is mostly a bad reputation.

After all, no legitimate sect would name itself the Demon Sect.

Seeing Zhao Mu being so low-key, Wu Qiyuan was very tactful and did not ask any more questions, but he still secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must have a good relationship with Zhao Mu.

In addition to cultivating power, cultivators must also cultivate connections.

Especially for cultivators like them who have just left the protection of their families, one of the purposes of traveling outside is to make friends with heroes all over the world, and more friends mean more paths.

Although the cultivation world is full of intrigues, this group of young people who have just left their families obviously have not experienced this yet.

Zhao Mu shook his head and could only laugh at them for being too young.

"The flying sword is good, but everyone knows the principle of not showing off your wealth. Although no one in the Sword Immortal Pavilion dares to kill people for treasures, it will still be dangerous if you are targeted."

The young man who led the way suddenly slowed down and came to Zhao Mu and said.

"Thank you for your advice."

Zhao Mu nodded, but still had no intention of changing the flying sword.

If he really came to Jianxian Pavilion as a guest, he would definitely keep a low profile.

But he didn't.

He came to cause trouble.

But he couldn't do it too obviously.

It would be best if others would take the initiative to cause trouble for him.

In that case, Zhao Mu would have enough reasons to take action.

If someone really paid attention to his flying sword, Zhao Mu wouldn't mind catching a few and interrogating them severely.

If a formal disciple of Jianxian Pavilion targeted him, it would be even better.

Even a strong man in the Refining Void Realm would suffer if he met Zhao Mu.

And those above the Refining Void Realm... most likely wouldn't have any thoughts on a second-grade Taoist weapon.

What Zhao Mu needs to do now is to attract attention, and this second-grade Taoist flying sword is the bait he threw out.

It is still unknown what fish he can catch, but it is better than doing nothing.

This was not entirely Zhao Mu's idea.

He and Empress Qingyun discussed the plan after entering the Sword Immortal Pavilion. The fastest way to find the Saint Yuan Patriarch was to muddy the water here first.

Seeing Zhao Mu's indifference, the young man shook his head and said nothing more.

Soon, the group arrived at the central area of ​​the Cangjian Valley.

There is a magnificent bell tower here. Near the bell tower is the Guest Court, where the external guests of the Sword Immortal Pavilion are under the jurisdiction of this place.

After being sent to the place, the young man said goodbye and flew away.

At the same time, an old man with a goatee came out.

"Are you all here to apply for guest positions? Right now, the Sword Immortal Pavilion is going to build a guardian battle, and it needs several formation masters. If you are a fourth-grade formation master or above, you can stay. If not, go try your luck somewhere else."

"Don't worry, sir. We are all fourth-grade or above, and this brother Zhao Mu is a seventh-grade formation master. You will definitely not make a mistake in choosing us."

"Seventh-grade?"

The master's expression moved, and his eyes fell on Zhao Mu.

"Sir, can you show me your skills?" Facing a seventh-grade formation master, the master did not dare to neglect.

This level of formation master will be treated preferentially anywhere.

Zhao Mu did not waste words. With a wave of his hand, thousands of divine patterns exuded a stream of light and color. In an instant, a seventh-grade floating cloud mountain and sea formation was set up. In an instant, the sky clouds fell, and water vapor gathered. Zhao Mu solidified the formation in his palm, and actually cast a lifelike picture of floating clouds and mountains on his palm.

Such a method made everyone dumbfounded.

Even Wu Miaomiao, a sixth-grade formation master, showed an extremely shocked expression.

Although this floating cloud mountain and sea formation is an ordinary seventh-grade formation, which only has the function of improving Feng Shui, it can condense the formation into shape in an instant, and compress the entire formation into a palm-sized area. This subtle control of the divine pattern is beyond her reach.

Genius!

This person is definitely a formation genius with unlimited future!

For a while, Wu Miaomiao even had an urge to become a disciple.

With her talent and qualifications, if she wanted to become a disciple, there would definitely be many formation masters willing to accept disciples.

But Wu Miaomiao instinctively felt that if she could follow Zhao Mu to practice, she would definitely be able to go further on the road of formation.
