The environment of the Inner Palace could only be described as simple and peaceful. Looking around, there wasn't even a single person in view, and a sense of rusticity permeated from the simple buildings.
However, the moment Jean took a step into the Inner Palace, he clearly felt that the atmosphere of profound energy here was especially rich. It was at least twice as thick as the atmosphere outside.
Sikong Du: Do you feel it? Although the Inner Palace is small, under the Inner Palace, there actually lies a rare natural profound pulse! This is the reason for the especially rich profound energy atmosphere here.
The seal we just passed, is not there to simply seal the entrance to the Inner Palace; Its greater purpose is in fact to prevent these profound energies from leaking out.
This tower directly in front of us, is known as the Profound Gathering Tower, and contains a total of ten floors.
There is a special formation set up in the tower which is able to greatly condense and gather the profound energy in the Inner Palace's atmosphere, thus making the profound energy in the tower thicken up to an incredible extent.
While cultivating inside the tower, one's cultivating speed will certainly far surpass their cultivation speed outside. Alright, let's go, I'll bring you to the Sky Weapon Pavilion first.
Jean: Sky Weapon Pavillion?
Sikong Du: Blue Wind Profound Palace has three great Weapon Pavilions, which are respectively the Common Weapon Pavilion, Earth Weapon Pavilion, and Sky Weapon Pavilion.
The Common Weapon Pavilion is in the Outer Palace,
Earth Weapon Pavilion is in the Middle Palace,
and Sky Weapon Pavilion belongs to the Inner Palace.
After choosing a weapon, you can go to the Supreme Profound Hall to select Profound Arts and Profound Techniques that you wish to cultivate… In addition, only Inner Palace disciples can cultivate Blue Wind Profound Palace's unique Profound Arts; as for profound techniques, naturally, they are also of the highest level.
Also, the Inner Palace do not have any instructors; all of the cultivation will depend on one's own abilities.
This made Jean sigh in relief, he didn't want any master other than Jasmine, since she already knows about his little and big things, except for "Really" big things, unfortunately, his dɨċk size isn't one of them…
he Sky Weapon Pavilion was located beneath the ground, yet it didn't seem dusky at all. Weapons of all colors and ȧssortments laid in sight: swords, blades, spears, halberds, lances, axes, hammers, daggers…
Everything was there; the majority radiated all sorts of dazzling colors, but there was also some that were dim and devoid of light that laid in a random corner. The moment Jean entered, he felt gusts of ice-cold wind rush at him; the auras were either ethereal, noble, sharp, or overbearing.
Sikong Du: The lowest-grade weapons in the Sky Weapon Pavilion are True Profound weapons but the majority are Spirit Profound weapons.
Originally, there were several Earth Profound weapons, but they were taken by our seniors long ago; the only remaining Earth Profound weapon, is actually something insipid that no one wants. Jean, what weapon do you usually use?
Jean: Is there any firearm? 'I wonder…'
Sikong Du: Firearm? What's that?
Jean: Nevermind… I'll pick a longsword.
Amongst the numerous weapons in the Sky Weapon Pavilion, swords also constituted the greatest number. There were several hundreds of swords.
Jean's gaze meticulously swept through each and every type of sword; after going through all of them, he was a little disappointed. Because the none of them struck a chord in his heart…
Jean: Tch… Nothing… Oh?
His gaze fell in something underneath the weapons rack, it was a massive sword covered by a thick layer of dust. A heavy sword, just what Jean wanted the most, he smiled and pointed at it.
Jean: What is that one?
Sikong Du glanced at it for a moment and trivially said.
Sikong Du: Oh, this is what I was just talking about. This is the only remaining Earth Profound weapon here. It's called 'Overlord's Sword', and it was once wielded thousands of years ago by someone from the Blue Wind Empire known as the 'Overlord'.
He once used this sword to slaughter countless enemies and made several impressively outstanding military exploits. After his death, this weapon was sent to this Sky Weapon Pavilion, and it has silently lain here for many years.
Unfortunately, this Earth Profound weapon is a heavy sword; as profound practitioner, there is simply no one who would pick it.
Jean: Explain.
Sikong Du: Because it is a heavy sword, with a huge sword body and incredible weight, even though it is classified as a 'sword', it is not as flexible as a sword should be.
Also, with its incredible weight, just controlling it is an incredible difficult task, and even if you could control it, after time you wave it, you will consume a considerable amount of profound energy.
Cumbersome, difficult to control, consumes a lot of energy; these three disadvantages ensure that no profound practitioner will select it. Its greatest advantage, is that once you strike with it, it will generate massive destruction; but with such a ċumbersome weapon, it is impossible to swing it with any speed.
Hitting the opponent is very difficult, and swinging it will create many opportunities for the opponent to strike back.
Because of this, this sword is only suitable for the battlefield; if one can control it well, it would definitely be a weapon capable of slaughtering many. But this is definitely not suitable for us profound practitioners; when fighting someone, not only will it not provide ȧssistance, it would even become a burden.
Also, even though a greatsword is considered a sword, its characteristics are completely different than a regular sword, so all profound techniques involving swords are not suitable for this greatsword.
As of now, the Supreme Profound Hall has 347 sword-related profound techniques, but none pertain to greatswords.
Jean: That group of pussies just don't know how to use it at its best…
Jean gritted his teeth and pulled, the sword was slowly lifted up, then Jean used the Evil Soul, and suddenly the sword felt a bit lighter, enough for him to swing it a dozen of times before exhaustion.
Jean: 1950 kilograms… I'll pick the fat fuċk!
He released the Evil Soul and the sword crashed in the ground, slightly making the entire Sky Weapon Pavillion tremble for a moment.
Sikong Du: Did you not listen to anything I just said? This sword is simply not fit for us profound practitioners! Controlling it, is several hundred times more difficult than controlling a common sword!
Even though it is in the Sky Weapon Pavilion and is of the highest grade, when picking a weapon, the first thing to consider is whether it is suitable for you.
Don't mention that it's an Earth profound weapon; even if it was a Sky profound weapon, within the Inner Palace, there still wouldn't be anyone who would select it!
Jean: Meh, who cares for them, they just don't know anything about it, the best part of the heavy sword is that it can be used as a shield too, not only that, with the power it carries, if an attack connects, not only will it cause much damage, but it will give enough time for another strike.
Sikong Du: Inner Palace, and even the entire Blue Wind Profound Palace, does not have any profound techniques involving heavy swords or any instructors who use a heavy sword. If you actually pick it, you won't even know how to train with it properly.
Jean: Well, I will not stay here for the eternity, somewhere there could be a place where I can learn how to use it, besides, learning by myself is not a wrong decision.
Then he put it back on the Sky Poison Pearl, if he used the Schrift "Power", then this thing would be used just like a toothpick.
Jean: Big Brother Sikong, I've already finished selected a weapon. I'll head over to the Profound Gathering Tower by myself, so let's head over to the Supreme Profound Hall.
Sikong Du: You… *Sigh* Forget it, I've said everything I needed to say. Since you're still going to make this selection, I don't have any right to interfere. Let's go.
