Chapter 35 Sword Gourd PalaceA day later, Zhang Qian's condition improved and the two of them did not delay any longer. Rumble! As soon as Li Qingque had a thought, a hundred-foot-long sword rainbow rose up, wrapping Li Qingque and Zhang Qian up in it and soaring into the sky, flying straight to the east of Xingyun Province. The Nebula State is vast and extremely vast. This state is adjacent to the boundless ocean. The vast starry sea where demon sects and evil spirits are scattered is in the ocean near the Nebula State. The Great Star Sea is composed of countless ancient islands in the ocean. These islands are scattered like stars in the ocean near the Nebula State. Each island has different scenery and weather, and there are many famous demon sects and evil gates among them. The location of the Jianhu Palace is near the Great Starry Sea. Legend has it that in ancient times, a star fell from the sky and smashed the earth. The islands in the Great Starry Sea were formed by the fragments of the earth that splashed out after the star smashed the earth. A vast lake was formed where the star fell, and the Sword Gourd Palace was in this lake. Although Li Qingque's sword rainbow escape speed was extremely fast, it took three days for the two to reach the lake where the Sword Gourd Palace was. After three days of continuous flying, Li Qingque's face showed a trace of fatigue. brush! When the sword rainbow fell, Zhang Qian looked up and saw an endless lake in front of him. He could not see where the other side of the lake was at all. The entire lake is azure blue. What is strange is that for such a large lake, there is not a single wave on the surface. The entire lake surface looks like an enormous mirror, which is extremely strange. "Senior Sister, where is the Jianhu Palace sect? There is nothing on the surface of this big lake. Could it be that the sect is at the bottom of the lake?"
After looking around for a while, Zhang Qian didn't see anything but the empty lake. Li Qingque smiled slightly: "Our Jianhu Palace is an ancient sect, so it is naturally covered by a mountain protection formation. You can't see it because it is blocked by the mountain protection formation." brush! Li Qingque suddenly pointed his finger, and a stream of light sank directly into the lake. After a while, there was no reaction from the lake. Just when Zhang Qian was wondering, the calm lake surface suddenly began to ripple. Wow! There was a sound of rolling waves, and the lake in front of Zhang Qian suddenly split into two parts. Then hundreds of beautiful mermaids, with human upper bodies and fish tails in the lower bodies, stepped out of the lake. "This is?" Zhang Qian was a little dazzled. These mermaids were all female. The leader was a mermaid who was probably at the Golden Core Realm. She was graceful and elegant, like a queen. She flicked her tail and led hundreds of mermaids behind her to come forward. "Welcome to the island master!" Hundreds of mermaids saluted Li Qingque in a graceful posture. "Wake up, has anything happened on the Demon Refining Island while I was away?" The leading mermaid said respectfully: "The Demon Refining Island is safe and sound. Lord Xiao came here once some time ago, but he left when he saw that the island owner was not there. He also said that he would visit again when the island owner returns." "Xiao Daoyi? What is he doing here?" Li Qingque frowned, his eyes showing some displeasure. "This is my junior brother who I accepted as a disciple on behalf of my master. His name is Zhang Qian. Junior brother, she is Yu Xuanji. She is from the mermaid clan that has surrendered to my Demon Refining Island. Although they do not have the blood of the ancient mermaid clan, they are naturally good at water escape techniques and can condense the Azure Sea and Bright Moon Pearl. They have made a great contribution to my Demon Refining Island." "The mermaid tribe? The fish leader is very handsome." Yu Xuanji glanced at Zhang Qian, and a hint of contempt flashed in the depths of her eyes. With her cultivation level, she could tell Zhang Qian's cultivation level at a glance, and even saw through Zhang Qian's inspiration. "What kind of divine beast is his spirit? It looks more like a big loach. However, his spirit is innate, which is not bad. It's just that his cultivation is too low. What is the island master thinking? Why would he accept him as his junior brother?" Yu Xuanji was secretly complaining in her heart. Zhang Qian keenly noticed the contempt in the other person's eyes, but he didn't say anything. The truth would be revealed later. "Meet the deputy island owner."
Although Yu Xuanji looked down on him in her heart, she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Qingque and bowed to Zhang Qian. "Get up. I am not worthy of the title of deputy island master, but as long as you are loyal, I will not hesitate to reward you. Oh, I have two subordinates, but I forgot." At this point, Zhang Qian patted his storage bag and released Silver Face and Red Face. The two fish spirits were still stone statues. Zhang Qian pointed his finger and lifted the petrification spell. Silver Face and Red Face were free immediately. "My lord, you..." Before Silver Face finished speaking, his eyes widened when he saw a group of stunning mermaids. Red Face was not much better, he was almost drooling at the sight of these mermaids. A trace of disgust flashed across Yu Xuanji's eyes. These two fish spirits were not worthy of her attention at all. Moreover, these two fish spirits were two monsters, not even monsters, which made her look down on them even more. "Silver Face, Red Face! I have now joined the Sword Gourd Palace and am a member of the Demon Refining Island lineage. You two must work hard in the future and not let others look down on you, understand?" "Hehe, don't worry, sir." "I will not embarrass you, my Lord." The two mermaids now felt like they had arrived in heaven. They thought they had made the right decision by following their master. Just this group of mermaids was enough to make their blood boil. "Let's go, let's meet the headmaster first. The sect doesn't even know that I'm accepting you as my junior brother." Li Qingque ordered Yu Xuanji to take care of the two fish spirits. She knew that her junior brother valued these two fish spirits very much. brush! Taking Zhang Qian with him, Li Qingque walked on the waves and soon arrived at the center of the lake. hum! Without Li Qingque doing anything, a portal about a hundred feet high appeared out of thin air. "Let's go!" As Zhang Qian stepped into the gate, he took a look and his eyes widened. He had imagined what the Jianhu Palace looked like countless times before, but seeing it with his own eyes still felt that it was beyond his imagination. Behind the portal is a void island floating in the void. This island is thousands of miles in radius and just floats in the void. Layers of fairy light of different colors bloom from this void island, as if there are countless treasures on the island. Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qian suddenly felt himself immersed in a sea of spiritual energy. Looking closely, there are endless and vast palaces on this void island, and from time to time, there are sword rainbows passing by. It is obvious that the disciples of the Sword Gourd Palace are flying away by controlling the sword rainbows. The void island with a radius of a thousand miles is surrounded by hundreds of smaller void islands. The largest of these islands is a hundred miles in radius, and the smallest is like a floating boulder. These islands surround the Jianhu Palace sect in the middle, forming a terrifying formation. Looking down, there are four giant islands with a radius of thousands of miles on the calm lake! "What's wrong? Are you stunned?" Li Qingque smiled slightly, feeling somewhat proud. Zhang Qian was not an ignorant person. He was surprised at first, but when he thought about the various fairy mountains he had seen in the ancient world, he was no longer surprised. Instead, he was a little puzzled as to how these islands floated up. Before he could ask, Li Qingque explained: "The reason why these islands can float in the air is because there is a hidden repulsive force at the bottom of the lake under our feet. Perhaps it is related to the legendary star. Under this repulsive force, these islands can float. Do you see the four largest giant islands below? The big island in the east is our Demon Refining Island. Although I have a villa on the Void Island, I am not used to staying in the sky, so I usually live on the Demon Refining Island. " "Yes, it's quite impressive." Zhang Qian nodded without further comment. Li Qingque led Zhang Qian to fly towards the largest void island in the air. After a while, they came closer. This void island with a radius of a thousand miles was not flat, but slightly raised, like a gently undulating mountain range.
A white jade staircase leads to the top of the mountain, and there are countless winding paths. Zhang Qian even saw a grand market town, which was the most lively place, with densely packed disciples of the Sword Gourd Palace strolling in the market town. Around the mountains, there are courtyards or palaces of different styles arranged in a mysterious pattern. "Only inner disciples are qualified to live on this island in the sky. Outer disciples are all on the four islands below. For true disciples, the sect will send people to build a small floating island for them to open up a detached residence. Elders like me usually live in the courtyards and palaces below the main hall of the sect leader." Zhang Qian nodded and glanced around, he saw that there were more than 800 small floating islands surrounding the Void Island, which meant that the Sword Gourd Palace had at least 800 true disciples!
