Chapter 1458

Except for the main hall and side halls, which were built with a material resembling marble, the rest of the palace was constructed of wood. The main hall, the Yanxiang Hall, sits at the heart of the entire palace. To its left and right are two side halls, each connected by a corridor about twenty zhang long, like the wings of a wild goose flying out from both sides, named the Left Goose-Wing Hall and the Right Goose-Wing Hall. A deep and wide protective trench in front of the palace draws in streams from the Qianli Gang, forming a natural barrier. Aside from climbing down the mountain from the Qianli Gang, the only path to the Jingyan Palace is a large stone bridge leading directly to the main gate, wide enough for four horses to gallop abreast. It is a work of supernatural craftsmanship, majestic and imposing, giving one the feeling that "one man can hold the pass against ten thousand."

Legend has it that this palace was built by Zhao Tingmei, the younger brother of the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, but in reality, Zhao Tingmei was merely a mortal; how could he have the ability to build such a magnificent structure as the Jingyan Palace?

The true origins of the Jingyan Palace can actually be traced back to the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of antiquity.

It is a structure that has existed since ancient times.

Throughout the various dynasties, the specific location of the Jingyan Palace has constantly shifted. During this period, a powerful force has continuously hidden the secrets of the Jingyan Palace, keeping outsiders from knowing the specific truth.

If one follows the account in "Shattering the Void," this secret would remain hidden until the end of the Yuan Dynasty, until the great hero Chuan Ying stepped into the Jingyan Palace and studied the God of War Record—the most mysterious and supreme martial art, the first of the four great wonders—before it was formally revealed to the world.

For Su Xuan to want to find the Jingyan Palace in the current era is extremely difficult.

After all, the Jingyan Palace in "Shattering the Void" only appeared in the early Song Dynasty, and the name "Jingyan Palace" was derived from Jingyan Peak. In the current era, Su Xuan has actually wandered the world in spirit and explored the so-called Liuma Plain; unfortunately, while there is a Jingyan Peak, there is no Jingyan Palace.

In other words, the Jingyan Palace at this moment is not called the Jingyan Palace.

No one knows where it is hidden.

This is only because the Jingyan Palace is no ordinary structure. The God of War Hall beneath it is a moving structure, and the space where the God of War Hall resides is completely different from the outside world. Basically, every once in a while, the God of War Hall will move on its own and then disappear, waiting for the next opportunity to manifest.

During the Song Dynasty, someone gained insight into the true secrets hidden within the Jingyan Palace, which is why they created various disguises to cover up its secrets. Although they managed to deceive people for many years at first, as someone brought the "Yue Ce" into the Jingyan Palace, the secrets of the Jingyan Palace were exposed in the struggle to seize it, and it could no longer be hidden.

These are all descriptions from "Shattering the Void."

In the current era, Su Xuan can only rely on luck to find the Jingyan Palace.

And when it comes to luck, Su Xuan inevitably thinks of Chu Nangong.

After all, Chu Nangong's luck is truly too good.

In the Qin world, the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book represents destiny, and the fact that Chu Nangong was able to obtain it means that Chu Nangong is a person upon whom destiny is bestowed.

Although that was the destiny of the Qin world, not the destiny of this world, Su Xuan still handed this task to Chu Nangong, wanting to let Chu Nangong try his luck.

If it truly cannot be found.

Su Xuan would not mind using his Primordial Spirit to thoroughly wander the entire world in spirit. Although this would take a lot of time, as long as the Jingyan Palace still exists in this world, then its location can definitely be found.

The reason Su Xuan is certain that the Jingyan Palace exists in this world is still due to the descriptions in "Shattering the Void." If the Jingyan Palace truly appeared from the early Song Dynasty until the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it could be said to have existed for several hundred years.

Existing in the same place for several hundred years is simply incredible.

In other words, the time it takes for the Jingyan Palace to shift its location is extremely long.

After all, it is such a magnificent and majestic complex of buildings.

However, even if the Jingyan Palace is found, stepping into the God of War Hall beneath it is not that easy.

Only at a specific time and a specific place can one enter it.

Of course, that is a matter for later; before that, Su Xuan's primary goal is to find the location of the War God Palace.

He had not expected that Chu Nangong would actually find the Jingyan Palace in the end.

After receiving the information from Chu Nangong, Su Xuan immediately gave up on sightseeing. This time, he did not even bring Shi Qingxuan and the others with him, letting them stay in the Bashu region, while he went alone. In a single day, he crossed more than half of the Central Plains and arrived at Chu Nangong's side.

When Su Xuan saw Chu Nangong, Chu Nangong was covered in the dust of travel, mingling among a group of alien people.

This was a group of nomadic people from the grasslands, their appearances vastly different from those of the Central Plains, and the region they lived in was near Mount Kunlun.

After arriving here, Su Xuan was also somewhat moved; he had not expected that the Jingyan Palace would actually be hidden near Mount Kunlun at this time. ===== CHAPTER 1460 =====
