Chapter 371 Tianjian City

"See? This is the heritage of our Heavenly Sword Holy Land. Those in the secular world think that the treasures are priceless, but here we can find them everywhere. Even a single hair we pluck can bury dozens of cities in the secular world. If you don't enter the Holy Land, you will never know how high the sky is."

Jin Bo glanced at Zhong Lin and spoke with pride.

Zhong Lin nodded. This was indeed the case, but he still felt that the things in this holy land had nothing to do with the person in front of him. No matter how much he praised them, they actually belonged to someone else.

But of course he couldn't say this out loud. Zhong Lin just agreed, which made the young man in front of him very happy. He even flattered him with a tone of feigned envy, asking about some unknown things in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.

As they talked along the way, they walked forward, and gradually a huge plain appeared between the mountains in the distance. On this plain was built a majestic city.

The largest city Zhong Lin had ever seen was the capital of Tianhai Kingdom, but compared with the city in front of him, it looked more like a small rural area, even larger than the entire Crescent Island.

Suddenly, Zhong Lin's eyes fixed, because he found that the plain in the mountains did not seem to conform to the geographical features. The plain in front of him did not seem to be naturally formed, but more like someone had forcibly moved many peaks in the mountains to create such a habitable plain.

Zhong Lin's pupils shrank suddenly. Moving mountains and filling the sea was horrifying. Is this the true supreme power?

"It seems you've discovered it, too?" Jin Bo said, half-smiled. "It's just as you thought. The plains here aren't naturally formed. There's no need to be surprised. Once you see them more often, you'll find they're just a rarity in the Holy Land."

Zhong Lin pursed his lips and looked at Jin Bo speechlessly. This guy was pretending so awkwardly.

"Senior Brother Jin, this city is so big. Does the Heavenly Sword Holy Land have so many disciples?" Zhong Lin asked.

"Of course. Strictly speaking, Tianjian City is where the true disciples of the Holy Land live and cultivate. The entire Holy Land has an astonishingly large population. There are hundreds of thousands of outer disciples, and tens of thousands of prestigious inner disciples, not to mention the miscellaneous servants.

There are even more slaves in the holy land who raise spirit beasts and manage the medicinal fields. We can't do these trivial tasks when we practice martial arts! Naturally, we need to hand them over to some slaves, so if we add them up, the number will be even greater.

"Okay, Tianjian City is ahead. You can't fly here anymore. The sky here is restricted. If you fly, you will definitely be shot down. You can walk to Xinliangyuan, which is where you will take the assessment. I hope you can pass the assessment. Then I will call you Senior Brother." Jin Bo said with a smile.

Jin Bo was naturally very happy to be called "Senior Brother" by a person with the cultivation level of Xuandan Realm. However, if Zhong Lin passed the assessment and became an outer disciple of the holy land, then he should call Zhong Lin "Senior Brother" instead.

After all, strength is still respected here.

"Thank you."

Zhong Lin descended from the air and landed on a wide road.

Jin Bo didn't stay for long, turned around and left, and soon flew away without a trace.

Zhong Lin then walked towards the plain.

Walking alone on such a plain, Zhong Lin couldn't help but feel a strange feeling. He was still wandering freely a few days ago, but now he had to participate in the assessment of a holy sect.

"Jian Ding Sect, Ziyun Sect, and the Heavenly Sword Holy Land are really like climbing up a ladder, step by step."

Zhong Lin laughed at himself.

"It's just a test, what can it do to me?"

He shook his head, throwing away that strange feeling. His heart was still as brave as usual, walking in this strange world and appreciating it carefully.

The entire Tianjian City was constructed entirely of a single, cyan stone, sleek and beautiful, imbued with a sense of antiquity and grandeur. Zhong Lin strode into the city, instantly permeated by the bustling bustle of people, as if he had returned to the mundane world. If it weren't for the powerful aura of the people passing by, he would have been in awe.

After asking a random passerby, Zhong Lin walked towards a mansion in the east.

The plaque above the mansion read "Xinliangyuan". The strokes were so vigorous and majestic that Zhong Lin even felt a sense of sword in it.

Zhong Lin stood in front of the door, looked up at the plaque, licked his lips, his eyes full of anticipation.

To be honest, his sword skills haven't improved for a long time.

"Brother, which dynasty's noble family are you from?"

Just as Zhong Lin walked to the square inside Xinliangyuan, a girl in red took a look, her eyes lit up slightly, and she stepped towards him.

"I am Chu Yu, the daughter of the Marquis of Fuyang. This brother looks very imposing and powerful, not like an ordinary person. I would like to make friends with him."

Before Zhong Lin could say anything, the girl in red introduced herself directly, getting straight to the point, and her every move revealed a sense of heroism.

Fuyang State, Marquis of Weiwu.

Zhong Lin had heard of this country. It was ranked among the top ten among the hundred countries under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Sword Saint. However, this girl was not a princess of the royal family of Fuyang Kingdom. She was just the daughter of a marquis. Therefore, she could not enter the inner gate directly like Yu Shu, but had to take the assessment like Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin glanced at the girl and felt that there was a bit of heroism and nobility between her eyebrows. It was obvious that she had that nobility since she was a child. When people saw her, they could immediately tell that this girl came from an extraordinary family.

"Tianhai Country, Zhong Lin."

Zhong Lin pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Chu Yu looked at Zhong Lin deeply and said with a smile: "Okay! Zhong Lin, I'll remember it. Let's meet after we pass the test."

When Chu Yu heard Zhong Lin's name, she looked a little happy and nodded.

Zhong Lin no longer paid attention to Chu Yu who suddenly ran over, and glanced around.

There were many people standing in the entire Xinliangyuan Square, both men and women. Their eyes were extremely sharp, and from their gestures, it could be seen that they were young people with prominent identities and were recommended to join the sect.

The Heavenly Sword Holy Land rules the entire Sword Domain and controls hundreds of countries. The population alone is more than hundreds of millions. There are countless clans, nobles, and royal family members, all of whom are eager to stand out. There is no doubt that entering the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, even as an outer disciple, is a capital for promotion, and you can also learn supreme martial arts.

So every month every year, someone is recommended, gets a spot, and comes here for the assessment.

Among these people, some are strong and some are weak. The weak ones are only at the Spirit Sea Realm and can just fly. The strong ones, like Zhong Lin, have already condensed the Mysterious Pill and have a lifespan of a thousand years.

There is no more powerful warrior in the Yin-Yang realm.

The Xuandan realm is just a threshold. Above that, the martial arts have been finalized, and the Tianjian Holy Land will no longer recruit such people as disciples.
