In the garden balcony on the tenth floor of Babel Tower, all the disciples from the academy who have returned at this moment are gathered here.
Their faces were all filled with joy, and many of them suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground with solemn expressions after absorbing the starlight.
Immediately, some elders and elders of the academy realized this and hurriedly stepped forward to protect the Dharma.
The four old professors from the academy were quite pleased to see this scene, because it meant that someone had gained a "real gain" from this fate.
"I only came into contact with the appearance of 'Tao' after reaching the mountains and seas. These young people are more blessed than us!"
"Otherwise, how can we say we are old?"
"I just don't know if Shen Qian can get to that point..."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the four people became a little hesitant.
"I heard Dingyan said that Shen Qian's real level is much lower than it looks. If he is still a beginner warrior as I thought, it would be difficult..."
"The Tao can be taught, but it is very Tao... This kind of thing is as mysterious as it is mysterious. It is just a common saying that the Tao can only be enlightened by mountains and seas, but there are always those with extraordinary talents who can break this restriction."
"In fact, it doesn't matter. Even if he can't 'ask' at this time, those starlights containing the power of law will eventually leave seeds."
"Yes, it's only a matter of time before it takes root and sprouts."
After the four people talked for a while, they looked at each other, smiled, and looked up in unison.
On the top floor, everything was calm, but you could still vaguely see a faint starburst flowing, but soon the starburst disappeared, as if it was covered.
……
Above the top level.
Shi Dingyan and others were not in a hurry to leave to digest this harvest. It seemed casual, but they stood in a strange position, guarding Shen Qian in the center.
Even Liu Changqing, who had jumped off the building, silently came back at some point and stood where he should be.
Gao Wenyuan was still sitting on the edge of the stage, quietly watching Jingcheng below, but Shi Dingyan keenly discovered a detail, that is, the teacher did not make tea.
This shows that Gao Wenyuan is actually still paying attention to every move of his junior brother.
And Shen Qian...
After seven consecutive starlights appeared on his body, he fell into silence.
The endless starlight dyed his whole body a mysterious golden-purple color.
Shen Qian closed his eyes tightly, no one knew what his condition was.
However, Shi Dingyan and others have nothing to worry about. Gains are inevitable. The rest is just to see how much benefit Shen Qian can get from this good fortune.
……
Shen Qian fell into a wonderful world.
A moment ago, he was immersed in the joy of rapid physical improvement, but after the number of stars reached a certain level, it seemed to have caused some kind of qualitative change. With a "boom", everything Shen Qian saw and felt changed. .
It was as if his consciousness had been stripped of his body and floated into the endless void.
All the way up.
There seems to be something invisible in the starlight that is constantly helping him pave the way.
That road continued until it took him to the void, the highest point in the sky.
This place is filled with all kinds of weird colors and all the elements in the world.
Shen Qian stood in the lowest void. When he looked up, he saw wind, thunder, water and fire, destruction and rebirth, the changes of all things, and many more scenes that he could not understand...
Shen Qian had an illusion.
If he could find a way to go up there and touch any of the elements, he would transform into a superior god and be able to manipulate everything in the world at will.
But he clearly felt that he was not very far away from all the phenomena in the sky, but he felt an insurmountable feeling of powerlessness.
"Where is this?"
There is no illusion in consciousness, so Shen Qian can still clearly realize that this is the scene he saw when the stars were at their peak.
Everything around him was attracting him, but Shen Qian felt that he had lost his direction.
Why do you have no direction when you become a god?
Shen Qian fell into confusion.
For no apparent reason, a thread appeared in front of his eyes.
The veins continued to expand, and as Shen Qian concentrated his attention, the veins suddenly stood up, and then turned into a straight upward avenue.
Shen Qian's heart started beating, and a voice kept telling him.
As long as he walks along this already formed avenue, he can touch a higher place.
He doesn't have to put any thought into it, he doesn't have to think about it, he just needs to... follow this path.
And this road is so broad, with countless forks to choose from along the way, so you don’t have to worry about anything going wrong halfway.
And the veins that turned into the Tongtian Avenue were actually very familiar to Shen Qian.
Because this is...Tantaiqin's great path!
Shen Qian had never understood it before, but he finally understood it at this moment.
It turns out that the veins of the avenue are actually the shape of the "Tao" in Tantaiqin.
If Shen Qian is willing, he can now follow the opponent's path, reach the same height as the opponent in the shortest time, and become the top mountain and sea.
Shen Qian also suddenly realized why there were many powerful people in the mountains and seas, but few princes.
If there is a ready-made Dao network, any high-level martial artist can quickly build the Dao foundation, as long as Handan is learning to walk.
But...what's the point of this?
Although Tantaiqin's "Tao" is almost fifty meters high by visual inspection.
According to what Chai Haotian said before, the average height of mountains and seas is only two feet, and three feet is considered a good level.
How terrifying would it be for a road that is more than 16 feet tall?
Shen Qian was exposed to the sun, and with a gentle wave of his hand, Tantaiqin's "Tao" was instantly disillusioned.
But I have to say that Tantaiqin’s “Tao” still gave Shen Qian great inspiration.
At least from the close observation just now, Shen Qian probably understood his situation at this time.
Liu Changqing once told him that there are three stages to achieve mountains and seas.
They are asking, seeking and clearing the way.
Judging based on some classics that Shen Qian and later read from Shi Dingyan.
The place where he is is most likely the legendary "Daohai".
Daohai, the place where laws belong.
Here are all the phenomena in the world, the cycle of life and death, and the rotation of time and space.
All the ways are included in it.
But Shen Qian found it ridiculous.
Because of the three realms of Tao, only when you are in the "Seeking Tao" realm can you reach the Dao Sea.
But before searching for the path, there should be a question.
Could it be said that the process of your consciousness floating upward is asking?
But this is too simple.
Shen Qian couldn't believe it, but he was already under the sea of Tao, and it was already time to search for it, so he couldn't help but not believe it.
Or maybe, this is the true power of the "Array to Seize the Sky"?
Shen Qian woke up with a start.
Improving one's cultivation level is just an additional effect. How can the formations that the princes also spend a lot of money to arrange just improve their physical strength?
When the netizens of Baiwangdian were discussing it, some people said that the function of the Heaven Seizing Formation was to force enlightenment and improve cultivation.
It turns out that this is what forced enlightenment means.
Shen Qian thought about it carefully, and it might have something to do with the fact that he had absorbed a lot of starlight.
For example, the starlight that normally shines on a person can pave a way, but he gathered the fortune of eight people and sent him directly to the end.
Relatively speaking, this explanation is more reasonable.
But here comes the problem again, his realm... is just a beginning martial artist.
Can a novice warrior also seek the way, ask, or even open the way?
Shen Qian didn’t know.
And he is very keenly aware that no one can give him an answer to this question.
What's more, he may be the first in history to reach the realm of Dao Hai at the level of a beginner warrior.
"Let's go and see."
Shen Qian shook his head and did not continue to struggle.
In any case, since he came to Daohai, Shen Qian decided to give it a try.
It would be difficult for him to get this kind of opportunity again.
He stood in nothingness, staring at the sometimes clear and sometimes blurry phenomena in the sky, and began to try to find his own way.
In short, what Shen Qian has to do now is to clarify an end point among all things, and then try to establish a connection with that end point.
This process is "seeking the path".
Difficult!
It's difficult.
After staring for a while, this was Shen Qian’s biggest feeling.
It seems like there are directions everywhere, but I don’t know where to start.
At this moment, Shen Qian could somewhat understand why Liu Changqing had been stuck in front of Shanhai for so long...
Where Shen Qian is standing now is where Liu Changqing has been standing for the past few years.
With so many "Taos" gathered together, ordinary people would be dazzled and lost instantly just by looking at them, let alone find the right direction that suits them best.
There are thousands of avenues, and even more countless byways.
But before embarking on that road, no one knows what will be at the end.
Shen Qian knew that he didn't have much time, and he couldn't allow him to worry too much.
What should you do if you are indecisive?
Of course... the summoning system.
In particular, this kind of super-category question is most suitable for the perversion of the system.
Although Shen Qian felt that the system might not be able to do anything this time.
After all, something as elusive as "Tao" is not as traceable as the knowledge in books.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Shen Qian initiated a hang-up request.
The system was slightly quiet for a few seconds. Just when Shen Qian thought that the system was helpless, a series of the most urgent prompts since Shen Qian obtained the system suddenly sounded "ding dong ding dong".
"The hang-up request has been accepted and the system is parsing..."
"The system has completed parsing and is generating task targets..."
"The mission target has been generated, and the system is automatically finding the path..."
Before Shen Qian could react, he was stunned and instantly lost consciousness.
……
On the top of Babel Tower.
The morning light was bright, and everything seemed as if nothing had changed.
But whether it was Shi Dingyan, Ling Xiao or Liu Changqing, they all looked weird at the moment.
Even Shen Qian's fourth senior brother appeared from an unknown place, his gloomy face full of curiosity, and he kept circling around Shen Qian.
If Gao Wenyuan hadn't already sternly scolded him, he couldn't help but reach out and touch Shen Qian.
Shen Qian's state is really too...bizarre.
Fourth senior brother Wu Jun thought that he was well-informed, but he could not explain what kind of situation Shen Qian was in.
At this time, a day and a night had passed since Gao Wenyuan deployed the Heaven-Seizing Formation.
Yes, more than 24 hours.
And Shen Qian also stood here for a whole day.
The starlight on his body has long since disappeared. It stands to reason that he should wake up long ago, but there is still no movement from Shen Qian.
That's all. The real change started after Shen Qian fell into silence for half an hour.
At that time, Shi Dingyan and others were shocked to find that there was a mysterious and mysterious aura on Shen Qian's body.
Even the covering formation that Gao Wenyuan set up around Shen Qian couldn't hide a trace of his aura.
Although the aura was very vague, they were all experienced, so they knew instantly what it was.
Tao!
That is the breath of "Tao", also known as "Tao rhyme".
In the past, the vague sense of oppression that Shen Qian felt from the strong men of the mountains and seas actually came from this kind of aura.
Liu Changqing was not feeling well at that time.
What the hell!
They actually discussed it when Shen Qian fell into silence, and at most they came to a rough conclusion.
The general meaning is that the infusion of so many stars should allow Shen Qian to feel the existence of Tao in advance, and it should be much smoother when he actually "asks" in the future.
To sum up, it can lay a foundation.
But the appearance of Si Daoyun slapped their faces.
This is not laying a foundation, this is obviously a direct graduation!
Just like Shen Qian himself, they never imagined that a novice warrior could truly come into contact with the realm of "Tao".
Just when Liu Changqing doubted life again, that trace of breath suddenly dissipated.
It's like an illusion.
But this is even more outrageous.
Once you touch the Tao, the aura should always exist. The reason is very simple...
Tao, don't look back.
Unless the "Tao" completely collapses, the disappearance of the Tao means the death of the body.
However, Shen Qian's life force was clearly very stable.
It was difficult for them to understand the logic, let alone what changes had happened to Shen Qian. They looked at Gao Wenyuan helplessly.
But Gao Wenyuan didn't say a word, but he just started drinking tea leisurely again.
And just ten minutes later, another trace of Taoism appeared on Shen Qian's body.
Yes, here we go again.
And I don’t know if it’s some people’s misunderstanding, but the rhyme seems to be different from the one that appeared before.
The only thing that was the same was that within a few minutes, the rhyme disappeared again.
What shocked Shi Dingyan and others was yet to come.
Just like reincarnation, soon, Tao Yun appeared on Shen Qian for the third time.
This time, Ling Xiao, who had been observing carefully, took a deep breath and came to a surprising conclusion.
"The Taoist charms that appear on my junior brother's body three times are different!"
This once again subverted everyone's perception.
A Tao can only produce one Tao rhyme.
Three kinds of Tao rhymes represent three kinds of Tao.
But this is even more outrageous.
There is not only one way to go, but very few people take more than two ways, let alone the third way.
"Wait a minute, what we should be struggling with now is, isn't it how the younger junior brother can... find the path as a novice warrior?"
When Liu Changqing, who was going crazy, said the word "seeking the way", his face was full of bitterness.
He really didn't want to admit it, but only in the stage of seeking the Tao could Taoist rhyme be produced.
When Daoyun appeared on Shen Qian for the fourth time, everyone calmed down.
Don’t be surprised.
Anyway, when Shen Qian wakes up, everything will be revealed.
But none of them expected that they would have to wait all day and night.
During this period, the Taoist charm on Shen Qian's body was like a large-scale continuous slideshow, constantly appearing and disappearing.
At first, Shi Dingyan counted silently, but when he reached more than a hundred, he suddenly felt his interest waned and stopped this boring behavior.
"I'm going out."
When everyone was staring at Shen Qian, Gao Wenyuan suddenly stood up, took one step and disappeared into the sky.
"Teacher isn't looking at my junior brother anymore?" Ling Xiao was a little stunned, "None of us know what's going on with Shen Qian now. What if something goes wrong..."
But Liu Changqing quickly came to his senses, "This kid should be waking up soon, otherwise the teacher wouldn't leave at this time."
Sure enough, as Liu Changqing finished speaking, Shen Qian's eyelids suddenly moved.
In an instant, Shi Dingyan and others reacted and disappeared.
So when Shen Qian opened his eyes, he saw four big men surrounding him with burning eyes.
"Junior brother...you're awake."
The somewhat confused Shen Qian shivered for no reason.
