Chapter 1460

Chu Nangong recounted the reality of the Jingyan Palace in detail.

The specific situation was about the same as Su Xuan had expected.

The maze beneath the Jingyan Palace corresponds to the Three Enclosures, Four Symbols, and Twenty-Eight Mansions. Only when the stars converge, which happens once every thirty years, can one enter the God of War Hall through a certain secret passage in the maze.

Besides this, the location of the Jingyan Palace also constantly changes; basically, every few decades or hundreds of years, it will move on its own and change to a new location.

The length of time it takes to move on its own is random. Sometimes, the Jingyan Palace may be rooted in a certain place for a very long time, while at other times, it will leave in an extremely short period.

Actually, strictly speaking, calling it the Jingyan Palace is somewhat inappropriate.

Because the name "Jingyan Palace" was actually a name given by the Song imperial family to cover up the God of War Hall beneath it. The Song imperial family slightly renovated the original buildings and, because this palace was situated next to Jingyan Peak, they named it the Jingyan Palace.

But who told us that this is the name in the original work?

Su Xuan still prefers to call it the Jingyan Palace.

"Take me to see it!"

Su Xuan gave another instruction to Chu Nangong.

Chu Nangong naturally had no objections.

After preliminarily exploring the maze beneath the Jingyan Palace, Chu Nangong, who is proficient in the art of astrology, immediately discovered the unusual nature of the Jingyan Palace. Now that Lord Xuantian has arrived here, perhaps he can thoroughly crack the mysteries of the Jingyan Palace.

Under Chu Nangong's guidance, Su Xuan quickly headed toward the towering Kunlun.

In Mount Kunlun, the snow is extremely thick and it is incomparably cold, but this brought no influence to either Su Xuan or Chu Nangong.

The location of the Jingyan Palace is in an extremely steep canyon within Mount Kunlun.

On both sides of the canyon, the cliffs are like they were carved by a knife. More importantly, this canyon is a dead zone; there is no road from the outside world that leads directly here.

In the past, the alien people living at the foot of Mount Kunlun spent a long time sending a few people into it, but unfortunately, ever since they stepped into the Jingyan Palace, they never came out again, as if they had encountered an accident.

It is also because of this reason that the alien people at the foot of Mount Kunlun treat the Jingyan Palace as a taboo, regarding it as a forbidden area and not daring to set foot in it again.

For experts of Su Xuan and Chu Nangong's level, the steep cliffs on the left and right of the canyon are all as nothing.

Seeing that Chu Nangong was still preparing to climb down the cliff, Su Xuan found it somewhat hard to watch. He flicked his sleeves, and clouds condensed, turning into a cloud mist that lifted him and Chu Nangong, flying toward the canyon.

Chu Nangong experienced the feeling of flying on clouds, his heart filled with inexplicable emotion.

Although Heaven-Men are very strong and can do all kinds of things that ordinary people cannot, they are ultimately within the category of humans. But the methods Su Xuan displayed are truly hard to classify as human.

Calling him an immortal would not be an exaggeration.

As expected of the Lord of the Dao who preaches to all living beings.

Just as Chu Nangong was feeling moved, Su Xuan had already brought him within the range of the Jingyan Palace.

Because it is situated in a canyon of Mount Kunlun, the climate here is extremely cold, and the Jingyan Palace is also shrouded in a world of silver. The snow-covered palace is dead silent, but its buildings are extremely magnificent, and it inexplicably gives one a sense of solemnity.

The Jingyan Palace covers a vast area, with pavilions and terraces, its atmosphere solemn and imposing. 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.

Its main hall, the Yanxiang Hall, is about eight zhang high, standing resolutely above the entire building complex. The left and right side halls, the Left Goose-Wing and Right Goose-Wing, although lower than the Yanxiang, are still more than two zhang higher than the other buildings, each connected to the main hall by a corridor twenty zhang long.

The three buildings, one main and two auxiliary, form a system of their own, the atmosphere solemn.

Except for the main hall, which has a front gate and two side gates, the left and right goose-wings only have two side gates each, one of which leads to the corridor to the main hall, and the other faces the distance. The main gate is composed of two iron doors made of refined steel, about one foot thick, split in the middle, two zhang high and four zhang wide, each door requiring ten strong men to push.

After arriving here, Chu Nangong continued to introduce to Su Xuan: "On this palace, there seems to be a special power added to it. This power makes this palace almost... immortal!"

"That is indeed the case!"

Su Xuan nodded, not denying Chu Nangong's statement.

Although there is no barrier on the outskirts of the Jingyan Palace to stop outsiders from stepping into it—as long as one can find this place, one can easily enter the Jingyan Palace located on the ground—the origins of the Jingyan Palace's buildings are extremely ancient, traceable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, or even more ancient eras.

Even if its main hall is built with materials similar to marble, the rest of the buildings are wooden.

Whether it is marble or wood, in such a long time, accidents would eventually occur, leading to destruction.

Especially since the location of the Jingyan Palace is not fixed and shifts every once in a while. Right now, it is shrouded in snow in Mount Kunlun; no one can say for sure whether it will appear in the vast desert next time, suffering from high-temperature scorching.

Yet even so, the Jingyan Palace has been perfectly preserved until now. One can only say that there is a power maintaining its immortality.

Su Xuan is no stranger to such power.

In the past, in the Qin world, when entering Loulan, the two sand snakes guarding Loulan contained the power of immortality within their bodies; that was the power left behind by the Yinglong Gengchen.

It is worth mentioning that in the God of War Hall beneath the Jingyan Palace, a demonic dragon is locked away.

From ancient times to the present, this demonic dragon has always been alive.

Even though many monsters live in the underground space, for thousands of years, the demonic dragon has always been alive, which shows that it is no ordinary existence.

The demonic dragon might even be a "Qi-eater." "Those who eat Qi are divine and do not die."

As long as there is enough heaven and earth Qi to breathe in and out, it can live on forever.

The current Su Xuan can actually also be considered a Qi-eater.

However, due to certain hobbies, except when he is in seclusion and practices Qi-eating, he is more accustomed to eating grain and enjoying delicious food at other times.

The next moment, Su Xuan's body suddenly soared into the air, looking down from a high vantage point to survey the Jingyan Palace.

Afterward, he landed again. In that instant, he had already determined where the power maintaining the Jingyan Palace's immortality came from.

"Beneath the Jingyan Palace, there is an extremely powerful grand formation. The buildings of the Jingyan Palace are all arranged according to the pattern of the Three Enclosures, Four Symbols, and Twenty-Eight Mansions. With the help of this grand formation, they can draw upon the power of the stars in the sky and gather it within the Jingyan Palace, thereby ensuring the immortality of the Jingyan Palace and maintaining its existence." ===== CHAPTER 1462 =====
