Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Duanmu Wen had long since arrived at the courtyard Fang Chen was in.
"Uncle Wen." Seeing that, Fang Chen asked.
"Fang Chen, there's already news from Divine Wind Sword Mansion. I'll bring you there today." Duanmu Wen laughed.
Fang Chen nodded, then followed Duanmu Wen and left The Palace of the Protector of the Kingdom, flying straight for Divine Wind Sword Mansion.
The Divine Wind Sword Mansion was no longer within the imperial city. Although many people knew about the existence of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, very few knew where the real location of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion was.
Of course, some of the powerful people in the Divine Wind Nation, as well as some warriors with tyrannical strength, would naturally know the location of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion.
When Duanmu Wen brought Fang Chen out of the imperial city, even Fang Chen was a little shocked.
"Could it be that the Divine Wind Sword Mansion is not in the imperial city anymore?"
Fang Chen had just arrived at the imperial capital, so even though he had some understanding of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion s, he was still a little unfamiliar with them.
Seemingly knowing Fang Chen's current thoughts, as he walked, Duanmu Wen explained, "Fang Chen, your guess is right. Divine Wind Sword Mansion is indeed no longer in the imperial capital."
Fang Chen heard and nodded.
"In the entire Divine Wind Nation, the Divine Wind Sword Mansion is considered to be a very famous holy ground for swordsmen. However, many people do not know the true location of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion. In fact, the Divine Wind Sword Mansion is inside the Divine Wind Mountain Range. " Duanmu Wen said.
Fang Chen was startled, and revealed an expression of disbelief.
The Divine Wind Mountain Range was the largest mountain in the entire Divine Wind Nation. Even the Cloud Mountain Range wasn't as big as the Divine Wind Mountain Range.
The Divine Wind Mountain Range covered every county city in the entire Divine Wind Nation. One of the entrances was in a valley outside of the imperial capital.
There were very powerful demon beasts. Under normal circumstances, only those who wanted to earn spirit stones by hunting demon beasts would choose to enter the Divine Wind Mountain Range. The other martial artists didn't want to enter the mountain.
At this moment, Fang Chen was very surprised that Divine Wind Sword Mansion was actually in the Divine Wind Mountain Range.
"The reason why the disciples of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion are so strong is because they often fight with the demon beasts of the Divine Wind Mountain Range. Duanmu Wen explained.
"When you enter the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, you will gradually discover its power." After Duanmu Wen finished speaking, he quickly brought Fang Chen along in walking.
An hour later, Fang Chen and Duanmu Wen arrived outside the Divine Wind Valley.
"This is the Divine Wind Valley, also the entrance to the Divine Wind Mountain Range. Let's go in." Duanmu Wen said.
Afterwards, the two of them entered the Divine Wind Valley. They passed through the Divine Wind Valley and entered the Divine Wind Mountain Range.
As soon as he entered the Divine Wind Mountain Range, Fang Chen could feel an ancient aura pouncing onto him. It was as if he was in a pristine forest;
"Is this the Divine Wind Mountain Range?"
Fang Chen said lightly. He could clearly feel that the nature's spirit energy within the Divine Wind Mountain Range seemed to be much stronger than the outside world.
"That's right, this is the Divine Wind Mountain Range. It's just the edge, there's no danger." Duanmu Wen said.
Fang Chen looked around, and then nodded. Under Duanmu Wen's lead, they rushed towards the Divine Wind Sword Mansion.
If it was an ordinary warrior, even if they entered the Divine Wind Mountain Range, it would be impossible to find the Divine Wind Sword Mansion. However, Duanmu Wen was different.
As the prince of the Divine Wind Nation, Duanmu Wen had nothing to say. Furthermore, he had the recommendation slot of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, so he naturally knew the safe path to Divine Wind Sword Mansion.
Under Duanmu Wen's lead, they walked for about two hours before they vaguely saw a mountain peak.
On the peak of the mountain, smoke lingered in the air, as if it were a paradise on earth.
"That is where the Divine Wind Sword Mansion is." With a tap of his feet, he stepped onto the mountain, with Fang Chen following closely behind.
On the way here, Fang Chen heard from Duanmu Wen that the Divine Wind Sword Mansion's recruitment process was extremely strict. Under normal circumstances, the disciples that were accepted must be under the age of eighteen, and they must be warriors with qi transformation realm combat power.
If it was in the beginning, Duanmu Wen would definitely not have given this precious placing to Fang Chen, but after seeing the battle between Fang Chen and Li Yue, Duanmu Wen already knew, although Fang Chen was a warrior at the eighth level of Qi Refinement Realm, his true combat strength was definitely comparable to a 1st level of Qi Condensation warrior.
As such, Duanmu Wen was willing to give the Divine Wind Sword Mansion s in his hands to Fang Chen.
The two of them quickly arrived at the top of the mountain peak and suddenly heard a shout.
"This is the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, stop right there."
Hearing the shout, Fang Chen saw two figures outside the mountain gate in the distance. These two figures were martial practitioners who were guarding the mountain gate.
"I am the Protect the King's Duanmu Wen, and am here to pay my respects to the Elder Li." Duanmu Wen shouted.
Hearing the words Protect the King Duanmu Wen, the expressions of the two guards changed. Immediately, one of them said: "So it's Prince Duanmu. Please wait a moment, I'll go ask Elder Li to come out right now."
A guard quickly left and returned after a short while. A white-bearded old man followed along with him.
"Haha, Prince Duanmu, you're here?" Elder Li saw Duanmu Wen from far away and laughed as he spoke.
"Elder Li, you should know the purpose of my visit, right?" Duanmu Wen asked.
"Of course I know. You have the Divine Wind Sword Mansion s recommendation slot in your hands, is he the disciple you want to recommend?" Elder Li looked at Fang Chen and asked.
Duanmu Wen nodded. "That's right. He's the disciple I want to recommend."
Hearing Duanmu Wen's words, a peculiar glint flashed in Elder Li's eyes. He shook his head and said, "This child's cultivation is only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement Realm. It's a bit lacking."
"However, since it's someone your Prince Duanmu has recommended, I naturally will not refuse. Coincidentally, a few other powers have also recommended a few genius disciples over the past few days. Our Divine Wind Sword Mansion is preparing to test them and let them participate as well. " Elder Li said.
Duanmu Wen turned to look at Fang Chen, only to see the latter nodding slightly. Duanmu Wen then said: "Since that's the case, then I'll thank Elder Li."
Afterwards, Duanmu Wen chatted with the Elder Li for a while before leaving.
After all, as a Protect the King, Duanmu Wen naturally had a lot of things to take care of and couldn't stay for long.
Before Duanmu Wen left, he warned Fang Chen in detail. If he had anything to do in Divine Wind Sword Mansion, he could look for Elder Li.
The relationship between the Elder Li and Duanmu Wen was not bad. Seeing how Duanmu Wen had set his eyes on a youngster, he was also very surprised.
After Duanmu Wen left, Elder Li brought Fang Chen to a courtyard.
"You should stay here for the time being and wait for the time being for the assessment." After Elder Li finished, he turned around and left.
Fang Chen nodded. Although he did not understand the rules of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, he observed for a while when he was coming here.
Right now, the place he was residing could only be considered the outskirts of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion. They couldn't be considered as official disciples of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, so they couldn't possibly enter the Divine Wind Sword Mansion at all.
Surrounding the courtyard Fang Chen lived in, there were also some warriors staying there. It was obvious that they were also recommended here.
The Divine Wind Sword Mansion would recruit disciples every year, but it was not open recruitment. If one wanted to enter the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, they would basically have to rely on the recommendation slots.
Just as Fang Chen was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, a warrior walked in from the entrance with his head out of his mouth.
"I say brother, are you here to participate in the Divine Wind Sword Mansion's assessment as well?" The warrior asked.
Hearing that, Fang Chen nodded and said, "Yes."
"Haha, my name is Yang Hong and I'm also here to participate in the exam, I live next door to you." Yang Hong grinned.
"My name is Fang Chen." Fang Chen nodded.
Yang Hong's personality was very cheerful, and they could be considered to be familiar with each other, so they chatted for a long time.
"Bro, did you know? Within the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, there are the The Eight Kings and the Four Heavenly Kings. " Yang Hong said while laughing.
"Oh? The Eight Kings, the Four Heavenly Kings? " Fang Chen didn't understand Divine Wind Sword Mansion, so he was a little doubtful.
"It seems that you still do not understand Divine Wind Sword Mansion." Yang Hong said, "Divine Wind Sword Mansion is a special existence within the Divine Wind Nation. The disciples of the Sword Palace are all abnormal, and among the countless disciples of the Sword Palace, there are twelve abnormal beings. They are the The Eight Kings and the Four Heavenly Kings."
"Rumor has it that in the The Eight Kings, every single person's strength is at the apex of the strong, and the Four Heavenly Kings are even more terrifying. All four of them have stepped into the Qi Ranking." Yang Hong said in an expressive manner.
"So strong?" Fang Chen said in shock.
The Four Heavenly Kings of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, each of them could actually enter the Qi Ranking, which showed how strong they were.
Fang Chen had heard of Qi Ranking before. The so called Qi Ranking was a ranking created by the upper echelons of the Divine Wind Nation to encourage young warriors.
An Qi Ranking Ranker must have a qi transformation realm cultivation level, and their age must be within the age of twenty-five. There were a total of twenty slots for the Qi Ranking, but anyone who could enter the Qi Ranking was basically the top genius of the Divine Wind Nation.
"These things are too far away from us, let's enter the Divine Wind Sword Mansion first." Fang Chen muttered to himself for a moment, and then said.
"If I am able to enter the Qi Ranking one day, how great would that be?" Yang Hong said with a grin. An expert with Qi Ranking was a top genius of the younger generation.
"As long as you work hard, you will eventually reach the Qi Ranking." Fang Chen said.
After Yang Hong heard this, he let out a faint sigh.
After chatting with Fang Chen for a while, Yang Hong left.
Looking at Yang Hong's leaving figure, Fang Chen seemed to have thought of something. In the end, his eyes focused and he said to himself in his heart: "There will be a day when I will ascend to the Qi Ranking."
The current Fang Chen was only fifteen years old. His cultivation time was very short, and there was still a huge gap between him and experts of Qi Ranking or above.
But Fang Chen believed that there would be a day when he would be able to enter the Qi Ranking or even become stronger.
