The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

While falling, Fang Xun immediately sensed a hint of sword intent in the air.

After the sword shadows in the Divine Sword Lake came into view, sword shadows also appeared in the Niwan Palace. For a moment, the sword intent attacked the brain and all of them slashed towards the Divine Yuan.

Anyone who enters the Divine Sword Lake will be attacked by the sword intent here.

But immediately, the divine essence suddenly burst into light, and the sword intent melted like ice and snow after being illuminated.

The sharp sword intent was as quick as a breeze blowing on the opponent's face, and he fell towards the island with a normal expression.

On the other side, the old man in hemp clothes took a look at Fang Xun, then returned to his hut to continue his hard practice.

Jian Wuyi flew to the island where the mystery was hidden, and Fang Xun also appeared in front of them.

"I'm sorry to trouble you two." Fang Xun said apologetically.

Zang Xuanji rolled his eyes and said, "You already know it's trouble, why don't you just get out of here?"

Fang Xun said with a shameless face: "Don't worry, I have been hunted for two months and I can't even have a good meal. Please at least let me eat a full meal before I set off!"

This shameless act of freeloading made Jian Wuyi's mouth twitch involuntarily, and Fang Xun immediately turned his gaze to him.

"I haven't congratulated Brother Jian on his breakthrough to Zhenwu yet!"

"Not as good as you." Jian Wuyi replied calmly, still being frugal with his words.

Zang Xuanji also nodded: "It's only been half a year since we last met, and you've already managed to escape from Wu Haoran. Sometimes I really feel like I'm getting old."

Fang Xun smiled and joked: "Your life span is now a thousand years, which is at most a youth. If you work harder, you may even be able to break through the limit of gods and demons. How can you be considered old?"

"Haha, I'll lend you my good words.

Come on, follow me. You haven't had a good meal in two months, right? Today I'll let you have a good meal!"

"Then I'm not welcome."

As they were talking, the two of them stood up and flew towards the shore, while Jian Wuyi followed obediently behind Zang Xuanji.

Along the way, the swordsmen along the Divine Sword Lake looked at Fang Xun curiously. They had all heard of his reputation, but this was the first time they had seen him in person.

Fang Xun looked at the lake at his feet and asked curiously, "Is this lake the reason why Shenjian Lake is revered as a sacred place of swordsmanship by countless swordsmen?"

Zang Xuanji nodded and said, "Yes, according to legend, in the ancient times of the Human Emperor, this place was still a vast forest. However, two peerless swordsmen fought here, and the aftermath changed the world and formed a lake."

She began to tell Fang Xun the origin of Shenjian Lake.

The two peerless swordsmen in ancient times fought a fierce battle here, and the fight was so fierce that the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and the sun and moon lost their light.

In the end, they were evenly matched and both died together.

Perhaps it was because the two men were extremely powerful, and the fierce battle also triggered the celestial phenomenon, causing heavy rain to fall, and it rained without stopping for a whole year!

Thus, the Excalibur Lake, dotted with islands, was formed.

Although the two swordsmen died, their sword spirit was deeply imprinted in the lake.

As time goes by, many swordsmen come here to comprehend the meaning of sword and hone their sword skills.

It was not until more than three thousand years ago that the founder of Shenjian Lake came here and successfully broke through Zhenwu. He then founded the famous Shenjian Lake, which has been passed down to this day.

After that, when the time came for all disciples of Shenjian Lake to die, they would gather all their energy and spirit into the lake, nourishing the sword intent of Shenjian Lake for future generations to comprehend.

If there is an external enemy attack, you can also draw the sword power in the lake to fight the enemy.

This was also the reason why Wu Haoran did not continue to force his way in but turned around and left. With Zang Xuanji helping Fang Xun, although he was not afraid of the sword intent of the Divine Sword Lake, it was impossible for him to kill the other party. As a result, the sword intent of this lake became more and more terrifying. More than 3,000 years ago, only a Yang Shen realm could walk in the center without any injury.

Today, one can stay in the central area only if one has a strong understanding of sword intent or has reached the level of Zhenwu in strength.

Now, only Zang Xuanji, Jian Wuyi and the old man in hemp clothes can do this.

This lake is roughly divided into three areas, the outermost of which is the Divine Sword Lake where the Yinshen Realm swordsmen practice hard.

If he continued to work hard and hone his sword intent, he would be able to safely enter the middle level and stay there, and then reaching the Yangshen realm would not be a problem.

The prerequisite for being able to reach the central area is to comprehend the incarnation of heaven and earth. Once this is achieved, there will be no threshold to becoming Zhenwu.

As for those who have not even reached the divine realm, they can only comprehend the sword intent by the lakeside.

As Zang Xuanji gave his detailed explanation, Fang Xun also listened with great interest.

"No wonder Shenjian Lake has become a holy place in the minds of swordsmen all over the world. Being able to comprehend the sword's meaning is also the dream of countless swordsmen."

As Fang Xun was sighing, the three of them flew to the shore and saw the disciples quickly standing up and bowing respectfully.

Zang Xuanji waved his hand, ordered a table of good wine and food to be set, and then took Fang Xun into the attic.

After a while, delicious dishes were placed on the round table and the aroma of fine wine wafted into the air.

Fang Xun, who hadn't had a proper meal for two months, was immediately tempted and picked up the wine glass in a hurry.

"Thank you both for your help. I'll do it first, you guys can do whatever you want!"

After finishing it in one gulp, he quickly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, put it in the bowl, and ate rice frantically.

Seeing him look like a starving ghost, Zang Xuanji and Jian Wuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After finishing the wine in the cup, they advised him, "Eat slowly, don't choke!"

An hour later, the table was piled high with bowls and plates, and Fang Xun leaned back in his chair and patted his stomach comfortably.

“This is a really enjoyable meal.”

Zang Xuanji said with disdain: "Even a starving ghost's reincarnation is not as exaggerated as yours."

Jian Wumian had no expression on his face, but he felt a little numb in his heart.

Fang Xun let out another long sigh and raised his glass: "Thank you for the hospitality."

Ding--

The three of them clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

After finishing his meal, Fang Xun said, "If Wu Haoran comes to trouble you for this matter in the future, let me know and I will come right away!"

Zang Xuanji smiled and said, "Brother Fang, don't worry. If Wu Haoran comes alone, we won't be afraid. But if he gathers Confucian masters to attack us, we have to ask King Zhao if he agrees."

"Oh, your sect has a relationship with King Zhao?" Fang Xun asked curiously after hearing this.

Zang Xuanji shook his head: "There is no friendship, but Yunzhou is located in Dongyu, which is the territory of King Zhao. If Wu Haoran brings other masters into Dongyu, King Zhao will certainly be nervous."

After a pause, she continued, "No one wants to be the first to start a war. Although the imperial court has been badly hurt, it has the support of the Confucian school. All parties can only lie low and accumulate strength for the time being."

"However, minor frictions on the border continued. Both the King of Shu and the King of Zhao deployed troops on the border, forcing the imperial court to withdraw a considerable amount of its forces to defend against them."

Fang Xun laughed when he heard this: "It seems that Zhao Ning and I are the most honest. We didn't even send a single soldier to the border." (End of this chapter)
