Jin Guan Country, one of the big countries in the southern mountains of Tianzhou.
The Jin Guan Country was divided into five regions. Fang Chen had been training in the southern region, but after the Trials, Fang Chen went to the western region. By chance, he became an apprentice of an ancient sect.
And now, he finally got what he wanted and entered the central region.
There were nine cities in the central region, and each of them was extremely spacious.
Within these nine cities, there were nine super forces. These super forces were not something that the top forces in the western and southern regions could compare with.
Fang Chen had heard before he came that these nine super forces were nine Two Star Sect's.
There was a huge difference between a One Star Sect and a Two Star Sect. This difference was too great.
In the entire Jin Guan Country, there were only nine Two Star Sect's. The Luo Family was one of them.
At the border of the central region, there was a city called Jianzhou City.
Jianzhou City was a city at the border of the central region. It gathered countless strong sword practitioners in the central region. It could be said that in the central region, if there was a place with strong sword practitioners, it would be Jianzhou City.
This was because Jianzhou City was home to one of the nine super forces, the Reverence Sword Sect. Everyone in the Reverence Sword Sect were sword practitioners.
Moreover, the weakest disciples in the Reverence Sword Sect were at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm. One could imagine how strong the Reverence Sword Sect was.
When Fang Chen and the others first arrived in the central region, they came to Jianzhou City.
"Is this Jianzhou City?" Fang Chen stood on the main road and looked at the huge city in the distance. He was shocked.
The nine cities in the central region were too big. Some were even bigger than some small countries.
Looking from afar, there seemed to be a huge transparent sword in the sky above Jianzhou City. This huge sword descended from the sky and floated in the sky above Jianzhou City. It was worshipped by countless sword practitioners.
At the gate of Jianzhou City, there were three bold and powerful words. From these three words, Fang Chen could feel a sharp and domineering sword essence.
"What a strong sword essence. I wonder which almighty person wrote these three words, Jianzhou City." Fang Chen thought to himself.
At this moment, Wenyu said: "Brother Fang, speaking of Jianzhou City, there is a history that shook the entire Jin Guan Country."
"Oh, what history?" Fang Chen was a sword practitioner. When he saw the huge transparent sword in the sky above Jianzhou City, the golden heart in his body actually started to beat faster. This made Fang Chen's suspicions about Jianzhou City grew.
"A long, long time ago, the Sword State City wasn't called the Sword State City. As for what it was called, after so many years, people have long forgotten it," Wenyu said.
Situ Po continued, "It's said that Jianzhou City was originally larger than the other eight cities. But one day, thunder suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by dark clouds. That shocked countless experts in the Jin Guan Country. It was also at that time that they saw a huge sword descend from the sky and forcibly cut Jianzhou City in two."
"The Sword Continent City that you see now is only one piece of the Sword Continent City from back then. The other piece was forcefully smashed into the ground by the huge sword that fell from the sky and directly disappeared." Speaking till here, Qin Zhen's face was filled with excitement.
"A huge sword fell from the sky and forcibly smashed the other half of the Sword Prefecture City into the ground, causing it to disappear." Hearing this legend, Fang Chen's heart was filled with shock.
He could imagine just how terrifying something had happened in the sky above Jianzhou City back then.
"And then?" asked Fang Chen curiously.
"After that huge sword descended from the sky, it disappeared. Countless marquises from the Jin Guan Country came to Jianzhou City to investigate. But they couldn't find anything. Later, the Jin Guan Country's imperial family announced that Jianzhou City would be renamed Jianzhou City," said Wenyu.
"Furthermore, after this place was renamed Jianzhou City, a transparent sword appeared in the sky. Many cultivators were shocked to find that cultivating in Jianzhou City could increase their cultivation speed," said Situ Po.
"Furthermore, Jianzhou City was filled with sword intent. Over time, it became a holy land for sword cultivators."
After hearing the legend of Jianzhou City, Fang Chen's face was filled with shock.
"A holy land for sword cultivators?"
Fang Chen had a vague feeling that something major must have happened back then. But with his current strength, he wasn't able to investigate it.
"Let's go in and take a look," said Fang Chen.
Fang Chen's goal in coming to the central region was to get close to the Luo family and then find his mother. But before that, he wanted to familiarize himself with the central region.
So, he started from Jianzhou City.
The four of them arrived at the entrance of Jianzhou City, but were stopped by the guards.
"To enter Jianzhou City, each person has to pay ten thousand mid grade Spirit Stones," said the guard calmly.
Fang Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that he would have to pay ten thousand mid grade Spirit Stones to enter Jianzhou City.
Seeing Fang Chen's expression, Wenyu took out forty thousand mid grade Spirit Stones and gave them to the guard. Then, the four of them entered Jianzhou City.
"Brother Fang, don't be surprised. For us fifth level Qi Hai warriors, ten thousand mid grade Spirit Stones is nothing," said Wenyu.
Fang Chen nodded his head to show that he understood.
Ten thousand mid grade Spirit Stones was a huge amount for a normal warrior. But normal warriors couldn't even enter the central region, let alone Jianzhou City.
As soon as he entered the Sword State City, Fang Chen discovered that there was an extremely dense sword intent coming from all directions.
"What a strong sword intent."
Fang Chen took a deep breath and said slowly. Jianzhou City was indeed a sacred place for sword practitioners. If he trained here, his training speed would be much faster.
Fang Chen raised his head and looked at the sky. At this moment, he couldn't see the huge transparent sword in the sky.
However, after entering Jianzhou City, the golden heart in Fang Chen's body beat even faster.
"What is there in Jianzhou City that attracts the golden heart?" Fang Chen thought to himself.
The golden heart beat faster. He couldn't help but think of the legend of Jianzhou City. But that legend was too far away, and it would be difficult to fully understand it.
"Let's find a place to settle down first," said Wenyu.
After that, Wenyu and the other three found an inn to stay in.
"I'll go out and ask around."
After the four of them settled down, Wenyu left. Fang Chen went back to his room to rest.
Two hours later, Wenyu came back in a hurry.
"Did you find any news?" asked Situ Po.
Wenyu nodded and said, "I found some news. Usually, cultivators from the four great tribes who come to the central region will join a faction. That way, they will be able to survive in the central region."
"Unfortunately, the Sword Reverence Sect only accepts sword practitioners. Otherwise, we could all join the Sword Reverence Sect," said Wenyu.
"Is there a branch of the Luo Clan in Jianzhou City?" Fang Chen suddenly asked.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Wenyu nodded and said, "There is a branch of the Luo Clan in Jianzhou City. However, this branch of the Luo Clan is extremely powerful. In Jianzhou City, they are second only to the Sword Reverence Sect."
"Brother Fang, do you want to join the branch of the Luo Clan?" asked Situ Po.
Fang Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "I do have that thought."
"We came at the right time. At this time tomorrow, many Sect's in Jianzhou City will be recruiting disciples. Brother Fang, you can go and try," said Wenyu.
After a silent night, early in the morning of the second day, Fang Chen and the other three appeared on the streets of Jianzhou City.
In the center of Jianzhou City, there was a square. This square was where all the Sect's were recruiting disciples.
To be honest, the cultivators who were able to enter Jianzhou City were at least at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm. Of course, the aboriginals were excluded.
Therefore, all the Sect's requirements for recruiting disciples were very strict. They wanted to select disciples with outstanding talent.
At this moment, in the square, there were many people in charge of recruiting disciples. At every Sect's recruitment area, there were many disciples lining up.
Fang Chen glanced at the square. In the most conspicuous place, the Sword Reverence Sect was recruiting disciples. This time, the person in charge of the Sword Reverence Sect was an old man with a white beard.
What was surprising was that there were many disciples lining up at the other Sect's recruitment areas. Only the Sword Reverence Sect's recruitment area was empty. There was not a single cultivator in sight.
"Hmm, could it be that the Sword Reverence Sect's recruitment requirements are very high?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
Situ Po and the other two chose a Sect that was suitable for them and prepared to participate in the recruitment. As for Fang Chen, he wandered around the square alone.
"That's the Luo Clan." Fang Chen saw the Luo Clan's recruitment area.
Fang Chen went to the Luo Clan's recruitment area and started to line up. After waiting for an entire morning, it was finally Fang Chen's turn.
"You want to join my Luo Clan?" The person in charge looked at Fang Chen and asked.
"That's right." Fang Chen nodded his head and said.
"If you want to join my Luo Clan, other than cultivation, you also need to know alchemy." The person in charge said coldly.
Fang Chen shook his head slightly and said: "I have never come into contact with alchemy."
In Jian Zhou City, the Luo Clan was second only to the Sword Reverence Sect. At the same time, it was also a large alchemy clan. So their disciples, other than sword cultivators, also had outstanding talent in alchemy.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the person in charge's expression changed. He immediately shook his head, directly rejecting Fang Chen.
After being rejected, Fang Chen's gaze returned to the Sword Reverence Sect's area. Since the Luo Clan didn't want him, then he would go to the Sword Reverence Sect.
Once he joined the Sword Reverence Sect and became a disciple, perhaps he would be able to come into contact with the Luo Clan.
Last night, Fang Chen had sorted out his thoughts. His goal was very simple. He would start with the Luo Clan in the Sword State City. If the Luo Clan branch in the Sword State City had no news of his mother, then he would go to the Imperial Capital's headquarters.
However, after asking around, Fang Chen understood that a nobody wouldn't be able to get close to the Luo Clan, let alone come into contact with the Luo Clan's leader.
That was why he had thought of joining the Luo Clan. Unfortunately, he was destined to be unable to do so.
