Fang Chen stood quietly on the ground outside the Burial Sword City, carefully combing through the information he had just received.
First of all, the first dean of the Five Elements Academy was the former city lord of the Five Elements Sword City.
In other words, the Five Elements Sword Technique was actually the ultimate technique of the Five Elements Sword City.
Fang Chen had only obtained an incomplete version from the Five Elements Academy. The true general principles were in the Five Elements Sword City.
"No wonder the Five Elemental Sword Art is such an exquisite sword art, but it is only a sixth grade sword art.
So that's how it works, "Fang Chen thought to himself.
Once he obtained the true general principles, the Five Elements Sword Technique would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
The identity of the head in the three-legged, two-eared cauldron was also revealed. It was one of the Mysterious King Realm commanders of the Sword Burial Prefecture.
"When I first set foot on the mountain, I fell into an illusion. The scenes I saw were actually real." Fang Chen was shocked.
Back then, Fang Chen had seen himself on a battlefield. Corpses were piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and smoke rose from all directions.
A black figure stood quietly on the ground, as if it had existed since ancient times.
The entire land was in chaos. What shocked Fang Chen was that the True Martial Realm experts were just cannon fodder.
From this, one could imagine how intense the battle back then was.
"So that was the battle of the Sword Burial Prefecture," Fang Chen muttered to himself. "So that was the battle of the Sword Burial Prefecture."
According to the information he had, the former city lord of the Five Elements Sword City shouldn't have been as important as the head in the cauldron.
When he first came into contact with the cauldron, the head in the cauldron had taken him to the Sword Burial Prefecture.
Then, he had been killed by the Devil Cloud Prefecture. The head in the cauldron had taken him across the forbidden ocean to the Sword Burial Prefecture.
The thing that the head in the cauldron wanted to do the most was to bring its corpse back to its hometown.
Fang Chen pondered for a moment, then fell silent.
The Five Elements Sword City was located in the southeast of the Sword Burial Prefecture. It was separated from the Golden Sword City by the Asura Sword City.
With Fang Chen's flying speed, he used six hours to arrive at the Five Elements Sword City.
His purpose for coming here was to obtain the legendary Five Elemental Sword Technique General Outline.
"This is the Five Elements Sword City?"
Standing on the wasteland, Fang Chen stared at the towering city gate in the distance. There was a golden plaque hanging above it with the words Five Elements Sword City written on it.
These four words contained majestic Five Elements Sword Qi.
At the same time, Fang Chen felt that the Five Elements Sword Qi in his body was ready to move.
After successfully entering the Five Elements Sword City, Fang Chen saw that the bustling streets were filled with stalls.
"It seems to be more prosperous than Golden Sword City." Fang Chen muttered to himself.
Fang Chen found an inn and inquired about some information.
Not long later, Fang Chen obtained the basic information of the Five Elements Sword City.
There were a total of two powers in the Five Elements Sword City. These two powers were evenly matched and had always been fighting for control of the Five Elements Sword City.
Whoever could gain control of the Five Elements Sword City would become the new City Lord of the Five Elements Sword City.
Myriad Elephant Palace. Destruction Divine Hall.
These two powers' combined strength was comparable to the Asura Sword Sect.
While Fang Chen was inquiring about the news, a handsome man was quietly sitting on the top floor.
"Young master, there's an unfamiliar man who just entered the city. His aura is quite dense, and he should be an expert. As soon as he came, he asked for some information about the Five Elements Sword City. I suspect that he's here for that historical remnant," a servant walked up and said in a low voice.
"Oh? Even you can't see through him?" asked the handsome man with surprise.
The servant shook his head. "When my soul touched him, it was like it was devoured. I couldn't see through him at all."
"Interesting. I'll go meet him," said the handsome man.
"Young master, you can't. If he's someone the Destruction Divine Hall invited, it'll be detrimental to you." The servant hastily stopped him.
"It's fine. In broad daylight, the Destruction Divine Hall wouldn't dare attack me." The handsome man smiled.
Then he stood up and went to the first floor of the inn. He smiled as he walked towards Fang Chen.
Seeing the handsome man appear on the first floor, the expressions of many martial artists changed. They all got up and hastily left.
By the time the handsome man reached Fang Chen, the entire first floor was empty.
However, Fang Chen turned a blind eye to it and continued drinking.
"Brother, can I ask for a cup of wine?" asked the handsome man.
"Of course." Fang Chen didn't seem to care.
"Then I won't be courteous."
The handsome man directly sat across from Fang Chen and poured himself a cup of wine. He raised his cup. "Brother and I have some fate. How about a cup?"
Fang Chen raised his cup and drank it in one gulp.
The handsome man secretly checked on Fang Chen. The more he checked, the more shocked he was.
However, he didn't reveal anything on the surface.
"Secretly checking on others? Is this how the Five Element Sword City's people treat others?" asked Fang Chen with a faint smile.
When the handsome man heard this, he was startled. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
The servant behind him immediately stepped forward, guarding against Fang Chen.
However, the handsome man waved his hand. The servant stopped and looked at Fang Chen with an unfriendly gaze.
As long as Fang Chen dared to act blindly without thinking, the servant would definitely attack.
"Brother, do you recognize me?" asked the handsome man.
Fang Chen shook his head, indicating he didn't recognize him.
The handsome man frowned slightly. There was probably no one in the Five Element Sword City who didn't recognize him.
This person didn't even think about it. He directly shook his head. Either he really didn't know him or he was just pretending.
"I am Luo Hong." The handsome man introduced himself, staring at Fang Chen. He wanted to see Fang Chen's reaction.
Fang Chen shook his head slightly. "I've never heard of you. But I do know a fellow called Luo Hao."
The Luo Hao Fang Chen spoke of was someone from the Asura Sword Sect.
However, it was clear that Luo Hong had never heard of Luo Hao.
"You don't need to test me. This is my first time in the Five Element Sword City. I only came for the Five Element Sword Arts," said Fang Chen bluntly.
The handsome man's aura wasn't weak. He should be someone from one of the two major powers.
"Hahaha, this brother is straightforward. It seems that I was too careful. This cup is my apology to you." The handsome man, Luo Hong, laughed when he heard this. He raised his cup and drank it in one gulp.
"May I ask where brother came from?" asked Luo Hong.
"If I told you I came from Burial Sword City, would you believe me?" asked Fang Chen.
Luo Hong laughed mischievously and shook his head. He clearly didn't believe him.
"Actually, it's quite embarrassing to talk about this. I went to Sword Burial City alone, and when I reached the border of the city, I was stopped from entering. Later, I learned that I had to cultivate one of the city's core techniques to the Transcendent realm before I could enter. So, I came back with my tail between my legs," Fang Chen said.
Hearing this, Luo Hong was also stunned.
He stared at Fang Chen. He didn't feel like he was lying.
"I see. May I ask brother's name?" asked Luo Hong.
"Fang Chen," said Fang Chen.
"Brother Fang Chen, if you don't mind, you can come with me to the Five Element Palace. There's still a month before the Five Element Bell opens. At that time, I can take you to challenge it. What do you think?" asked Luo Hong.
"Sure," said Fang Chen.
Fang Chen had just arrived in the Five Element Sword City and didn't have a place to stay.
From Luo Hong's appearance, he didn't seem like an evil person. Fang Chen immediately agreed.
As for Luo Hong, he had his own plans.
He couldn't see through Fang Chen's strength, so he should be very strong.
If he could rope him in, it would be a good thing for the Five Element Palace.
Recently, the friction between the Five Element Palace and the Divine Destruction Palace had been growing. A war could break out at any time.
"Young master!" The servant stopped him.
"Let's go back." Luo Hong shook his head.
Following this, Fang Chen followed Luo Hong and left the inn for the Five Elements Palace.
On the way, Luo Hong told Fang Chen that he was from the Five Element Palace.
"Brother Fang, to tell you the truth, I'm a disciple of the Five Element Palace," said Luo Hong.
"I'm afraid you're not just an ordinary disciple." Fang Chen curled his lips. "Sixth level True Martial realm. At the very least, you're a genius."
Hearing this, Luo Hong's heart trembled.
He was even more curious about Fang Chen. Fang Chen could see through his cultivation at a glance, but he couldn't see through him.
