Chapter 811 Sword Platform
Chapter 811 Sword Platform
The Sword Platform was a very large land that not even supreme lineages could touch. This was a sacred land for all sword cultivators who seek for the sword dao. It was a highly independent land separated from the overall Thousand Realms.
Here, sword hymns were natural and flying swords were the means. Almost all lineages here focused on the sword. This was natural. After all, the land had a firm sword foundation and a source.
This was Jin Rou's next destination before going to somewhere else. As it's nearby, he decided to check it out. There were no prerequisites to enter the land. As long as you have a destined connection with the sword, you can enter. Of course, being a citizen was a different thing.
"Hello, are you here to stay or visit?" The receptionist by the gate's entrance asked Jin Rou. As of now, there were a few newcomers so it wasn't hectic.
"I'm just going to visit." Jin Rou asked. He then handed over a certain amount of dao stones of immortal sovereign.
"Sir, you are in luck." The receptionist smiled as she received the payment, "Currently, the Firm Sword Festival is being held. You can enjoy various kinds of entertainment. If you are seeking for fun, I advise you to visit the Sword Temple and watch the parade. If you're looking for the dao, you can go to the Sword Illusion Plateau."
The receptionist was adept in suggesting things. Thus, many weren't lost in the land. This could be called additional service according to the payment of the customer.
"Thank you for the suggestion." Jin Rou knew this of course. But he didn't expect that it's the Firm Sword Festival.
In the past, Han Li had always been participating the festival. He was always finding time to see the going festival in the past. But for some reason, he stopped doing so.
For Han Li, the Firm Sword Festival held great importance in his heart. But at the same time, he could also let it go if it's needed. Factly speaking, if Jin Rou had no agenda here, he wouldn't come here to receive trouble.
"Many sword emperors have died... It's too cruel to remember." Jin Rou sighed. Despite not personally experiencing it, the horror in Han Li's memories gave him chills.
In Sword Platform, it's not the immortal sovereigns and epoch sovereigns which were highly regarded. It's the sword emperors. They were at the top of this land that could threaten sovereigns. In fact, they were just almost on par sovereigns outside Sword Platform.
"Brother, it seems you are new here." Someone approached Jin Rou. Being alone, he was watched by many.
Jin Rou ignored the guy and just continued walking. It's like he couldn't see anything except the straight way in front of him.
The guy felt awkward. But since he already bit the bullet, he chased after Jin Rou and said, "Brother listen, I'm no scammer so you can talk to me. You're new here, right? I can give you a tour free of charge!"
This time, Jin Rou paused in his tracks and asked, "You want to give me a tour?"
"Yes, brother. I'm just concerned about you." The guy smiled. Seeing that he was slowly taking Jin Rou, he couldn't help but smirk in his heart.
"Then do you know where is Burnflame Sword Tree?" Jin Rou raised his brow.
"Err... How am I supposed to know it when no one knows where it is actually?" The guy felt his cheeks going numb. This person was asking for too much! The Burnflame Sword Tree was a mythical tree that had not shown itself for countless years. If ancestors couldn't find it, how could he?
"Then you aren't qualified to give me a tour." Jin Rou gave him a side eye and said, "Go back to whence you came and stop stealing from other people."
"I'm no stealer!" The guy shouted, "It's wrong to accuse someone you just met."
"Oh, right? Then you trying to reach my pockets a while ago was just a coincidence?" Jin Rou smiled.
"I..." The guy was speechless. His moves were flawless. How was that possible that he had been seen?
"Go home. Don't make Oblivion Sword Sect lose face because of a dumb idiot like you." Jin Rou said before disappearing.
The guy wanted to ask how did he know it. But unfortunately, Jin Rou was already gone when he looked.
---
Jin Rou passed many streets after leaving the brat. He made many twist and turns as if he was locating a certain place. After an hour, he arrived at a rundown store with no name. If you put this store on the streets, no one would even dare to look inside. It looked like an abandoned store with ghosts inside.
Of course, it was a no abandoned store. It was actually still running even after so many ages and epochs had passed. Jin Rou decided to take a look inside and was greeted by an old man, "Greetings, it's been a while since a customer came."
Only capable existences could find this store. The location of it changed every 5 seconds so it's difficult to put a mark on it. But for Jin Rou, it was easy as spelling pie.
"You're still alive and well." Jin Rou looked at the old man and said. He sat down the stall and said, "A tea, please."
"It's natural. I'm just rotting myself here so basically I have a long life to go." The old man laughed and prepared the tea, "I didn't expect that you'll be visiting Sword Platform, Your Majesty."
"I'm just passing by. I need to retrieve a treasure I personally hidden here so yeah." Jin Rou said, "How about you? You're just here rotting. If those people outside knew your identity, they will be prostrating to your presence. Not even epoch monarchs could be your enemy."
This old man had an extraordinary background that only a few knew. It was so terrifying that even supreme lineages had to walk the other way just not to offend him.
"I'm not like you, Your Majesty." The old man shook his head, "I'm none other than a mere old man waiting for death. I'm not like you who wants to find an answer and settle everything. I just want to live in peace and die in peace."
"That's true. Many people are different to each other. It's up to them how could they understand each other despite the differences." Jin Rou said.
