It's just that tonight's full moon has become misty and faintly red for some reason. He didn't have enough wine during dinner. At this time, Liu Changqing went to the top floor to drink alone, and looked up at the moon in confusion.
His life was not long, but he had never seen such a strange scene before. Lao Liu, who couldn't figure it out, just thought it was another strange phenomenon brought about by the black mist that flooded the world, and didn't think much about it. p>
The perspective keeps falling downwards, all the way past the Tower of Babel, where most floors are dark, all the way to the 33rd floor.
The curtains were only half drawn, and the blood-colored moon spilled into the boudoir through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony, illuminating the room dimly.
On the wooden floor, there are a lot of clothes scattered from far to near, including bright red palace dresses, and classical-style bellybands and pants embroidered with blue silk. They are spread all over the floor, making people daydream about them.
On the bed, the quilt was raised high, the sheets on both sides became messy, and the water stains mixed with sweat spread out wetly, and even dripped to the floor.
The curtains illuminated by the moonlight have light and shadow swaying on them, like messy dance music.
After an unknown amount of time, all movement disappeared. Shen Qian's head emerged from the quilt. He was like a drowning man, his whole body was wet. In addition to the joy of having his long-cherished wish fulfilled, in his eyes, there was clearly some hope of surviving the disaster.
Fortunately and horrifying.
"Terrible, so damn scary..."
Let us first clarify an issue. Although Ji Ruoshui has no cultivation level, it does not mean that she is really a weak woman.
When Shen Qian was not yet a master of martial arts, she was casually beaten to serious injuries even though she was possessed by the system, which shows how strong her body is.
After all, it was the Queen Mother who appeared in this world, so Shen Qian could understand.
But... Shen Qian didn't expect that when she lost her restraints and self-repression, the desire that burst out would be so terrifying!
It was like a bottomless ravine. Shen Qian simply doubted that if he hadn't taken that final step, his body, which was also qualified to be called the best in the mountains and seas, would have been able to withstand her ruthless whipping. p>
Even ordinary mountains and seas would be pinched to death by her... Note that this is not a metaphor.
Even if Shen Qian had not made a temporary breakthrough, he would most likely have been defeated.
It was obviously Ji Ruoshui's first contact with men and women, and some of her knowledge was raw and visible to the naked eye. However, her body was too strong, and even if she saw blood and was injured, it would not have much impact.
This should be the commonality of powerful female warriors.
Of course, having said that, although I am still frightened, it is also thrilling, no, no, it is fascinating!
At least now Shen Qian is still thinking about it, and it will be difficult to concentrate at all for a while.
After calming down a little, he turned around and saw that Ji Ruoshui was still covered in quilt and refused to come out. He couldn't help but wonder: "Senior sister, can't you get some air?"
"Junior brother, you..."
Ji Ruoshui was silent for a long time before speaking quietly, with a hint of crying, "Do you think I..."
"Of course not!" Shen Qian said immediately and decisively without even thinking, "I know that your constitution is at play. This is not your original character. Besides, if you didn't love me so much, you wouldn't do this. Show me this side..."
Shen Qian's tone suddenly became much gentler, "No matter whether there are other reasons or not, as long as this is you, no matter what you look like, I like you."
Ji Ruoshui did not respond, nor did he show his head. He just quietly approached Shen Qian and hugged him tightly.
Shen Qian knew that she still couldn't save her face, so she didn't continue to force herself. He just stroked Ji Ruoshui's hair and felt dazed himself.
At the moment of the breakthrough, Shen Qian's thoughts quickly became fragmented under Ji Ruoshui's lingering "attack", and it was only then that he picked them up again.
Yes, he has been banned for seven times!
Only when he reached this point did his body truly have the qualifications to challenge the prince.
For four months, Shen Qian and his clones practiced day and night behind various "doors" and on the 100th floor of the Vientiane Tower. Counting them down, these are decades!
Decades of dedicated training not only sharpened Shen Qian's martial arts aspirations, but also made him unstoppable, breaking through from the original third level of mountains and seas to the seventh level of mountains and seas. In terms of realm, he also entered the top level of mountains and seas in one fell swoop. among them.
Of course, mere realm is secondary to Shen Qian.
If he were not waiting for a breakthrough in the taboo realm, it would be easy for him to reach the peak of mountains and seas. After all, there is no bottleneck in his "Tao".
What is really gratifying is that his physical body, mental strength and Yuanli have all reached the level of the Six Forbiddens, and almost all have reached the peak of the Six Forbiddens.
The life and death barrier, the Xingyi barrier and the Hundred Refining barrier are the obstacles he currently faces.
In other words, it's not just Shen Qian, most of the warriors who explore the forbidden path, no matter how talented you are, most of them stop there.
And those who have crossed over are all legends of the world.
King Yan Ling has eight mental taboos, Zhenbei King has eight physical taboos, Qin Guang Wang has seven Yuan Power taboos and seven physical taboos, King Zhou Yi is suspected of having eight mental taboos... King Jiangling is the leader among them, and all three realms have reached the eight taboo level. Let him touch the realm of the Great Emperor.
Shen Qian didn't know how difficult it was until he reached the beginning of this road.
If it weren't for the help of Eighth Senior Sister today, he would have to cross the first hurdle of rebirth and death. He doesn't know how many years it would take to seize that almost non-existent opportunity.
What's even more annoying is that Shen Qian has vaguely understood their expectations from the vague attitudes of the Emperor of Heaven, teachers and other beings.
Shen Qian's ultimate goal is not the first generation of Nine Kings, but as he originally envisioned, to reach an unprecedented level in three fields at the same time, that is, nine prohibitions on physical body, Yuanli and spiritual power at the same time!
From the moment he cultivated the ten-aperture body, this seemed to be his secret mission.
Even though, no one has ever forced Shen Qian to do anything.
But Shen Qian probably knew that this represented some kind of hope, which included his own redemption.
It's a pity. Just breaking through the first level can be regarded as a coincidence. Even the first "Hundred Refining Level" of Yuan Li and the first "Xingyi Level" of mental power should not be able to stop me. After all, He already has some ideas...
But in the follow-up, there are six more levels.
Especially in the last critical step of breaking the eight forbidden and nine forbidden, except for his senior brother who can give him some reference, he can only rely on himself.
Even the experience of Senior Brother is a coincidence amidst many hardships and dangers and cannot be replicated.
Forget it, don’t think about these things for now... think about something happy.
Shen Qian smacked his lips and turned to think about another question, that is, how strong is he now?
The seven forbidden areas of the physical body, the sixth level of the Calamity Buddha, and the seventh level of the mountains and seas. It is foreseeable that soon, mental power and Yuanli will also be able to break through the seven forbidden areas. His self-created "perfect sword" has been improved several times, and the last time he took action, he directly killed a mountain and sea peak. The monster behind the "door"...
In order to keep a low profile during this period and not reveal anything about the Vientiane Tower, Shen Qian rarely appeared in public. Even when he returned to the base to receive and deliver tasks, he tried to let Li Muyi or Dao Jiu show up.
To be cautious, he didn't even use the privately customized Master Edition simulator, just to prevent his combat power data from being leaked.
Of course, he had also heard that the simulator could no longer accurately measure the prince's combat power. It seemed that it had to use the exclusive venue of the Martial Arts Department, so it didn't make much difference whether it was used or not.
Due to all these reasons, even Shen Qian himself doesn’t know how far he has reached.
Just based on experience, vague intuition and comparison of clones, I came to a preliminary conclusion...at least it is comparable to ordinary golden immortal level princes.
At this moment, a small corner of the quilt was lifted, vaguely revealing a pair of misty eyes.
"Junior brother..."
"Huh?"
Shen Qian came back to his senses and looked down.
"Are you worried?"
"No!"
Shen Qian denied it, and at the same time he also blamed himself. At this time, with the beauty by his side, it was the time of romance, but he was thinking about these hard things, which was really inappropriate.
Just when Shen Qian was about to explain, the Eighth Senior Sister suddenly glanced at Shen Qian with a look of anger and resentment, and then covered herself with a quilt.
Before Shen Qian could react, he saw a bulge in the quilt, and the Eighth Senior Sister suddenly leaned over and hugged him backwards.
"Hiss!"
Shen Qian took a deep breath, unable to explain for a moment what he was feeling.
But...are you sure that this Eighth Senior Sister has not been taken away by the fox demon?
……
Shen Qian spent a peaceful and fulfilling month.
During this period, I also went back to Jiangzhong Junwu, the reason was to prepare for the final exam.
At this time of war, although most martial arts colleges are worried about students going out to find opportunities to practice, martial arts colleges are also the only schools that have not suspended classes. The rest, whether they are junior high schools, high schools, or general liberal arts universities, are all It has been suspended for a long time.
Also affected are various enterprises and factories. It can be said that people's livelihood is in decline and the economy is in recession. China is still doing well. After all, the land is vast and the history is accumulated enough. I heard that some small countries in the outside world have completely fallen into chaos. Those who want to destroy the country are all. Yes.
After passing the final exam, Shen Qian will be a sophomore when school starts in a few months.
Sometimes when I think back to Shen Qian, I feel like I am in a dream. I am obviously still a child, why do I have to bear so much!
In addition, Shen Qian put down all unreasonable social interactions and spent the rest of his time concentrating on accompanying his parents, occasionally going to the Babel Tower for a walk, or going to Jiang Xuan's old house in the alley.
Sometimes Shen Qian couldn't help but think that if there were no "doors", no catastrophes, and no so-called human crisis, maybe such a life would not be bad.
But he will also suspect that if these are gone, then he Shen Qian will have no reason to rise. After all, the system does not appear for no reason.
Then there is a high probability that he will live a mediocre life and be an occasionally happy salted fish, but neither Ji Ruoshui nor Jiang Xuan will have anything to do with him anymore.
Until the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, Shen Qian turned over the almanac and found that it was a good day to "travel, raise beams, and break ground."
This is the day when "Sea of Learning" begins.
Shen Qian didn't know if the officials of the Ministry of Martial Arts also turned over the almanac, so he chose this day specially, but it seemed that the omen was not bad.
Early in the morning, Shen Qian quietly left the house without disturbing anyone.
His parents didn't know that he was going on a new round of adventures. They just thought that he was going back to the army to perform his duties. In fact, ordinary people didn't know much about what happened in a war zone.
In order to avoid worrying his parents, Shen Qian did not explain too much.
In the same way, there is no explanation for Jiang Xuan’s death.
Even Shen Qian did not allow anyone to see him off. He always felt that this kind of thing was like setting a flag, and it was not a separation between life and death, so it was unnecessary.
Until he walked out of the north gate of Jingcheng, Shen Qian suddenly looked back in the drifting wind and snow. His sight penetrated countless obstacles and he seemed to see the row of figures standing side by side on the top of the Babel Tower.
He knew that those senior brothers must be watching him at this time.
And similarly, they can no longer give Shen Qian any advice.
From now on, he can only walk his own path.
As his eyes moved, he seemed to have seen the beautiful figure standing on the thirty-third floor.
Without paying attention to details, he knew that she was crying again.
Well... after all, he is completely different from taking off his clothes.
A month of pathos left an indelible mark on both of their hearts.
"Eighth Senior Sister, wait for me to come back!"
Shen Qian suddenly smiled and spoke softly, but the sound shocked the whole city.
Without waiting for a response, Shen Qian turned around, strode away against the raging wind and snow, and disappeared at the end of the world in the blink of an eye.
……
The Martial Arts Ministry only gave one coordinate as the meeting point, a coordinate in a restricted area.
With the current situation so tense, all mountain and sea warriors are required to go on their own. As for high-level warriors and below, they can wait at the martial arts department in advance and be escorted by a dedicated person.
Shen Qian suspected that the coordinates were most likely random, indicating that the Martial Arts Department was also guarding against possible sabotage from foreign races.
Although it is not yet certain how useful this precaution is.
There are dangers everywhere in the restricted area, but Shen Qian moves forward as if there is no one around. Every step he takes crosses hundreds of meters, as if he is teleporting, and his speed is extremely exaggerated.
"Let me go in alone this time. You should know what you are going to do."
Shen Qian spoke in the wind and snow.
"With the Shennong Cauldron, you should be a lot more confident. When you return from the 'Sea of Learning', there should be a result."
Shen Qian's clone appeared on the other side and nodded.
Shen Qian's eyes were deep.
In this month, his mental power also successfully broke through the first barrier of form and mind after visualizing the "Grain of the Great Dao", reaching the level of the Seven Forbidden States, and now only Yuan Power is left.
The most reliable way at present is to use the "Destiny Great Alchemist" method to find a quick way to refine the energy by refining medicine.
In order to save time, Shen Qian decided to give up the method of getting stuck and enter the "Sea of Learning" alone.
In this way, even if the main body encounters something unexpected, at least there will be a clone that can make a comeback, although Shen Qian will lose more.
But it shouldn't be the case. As long as "Xuehai" can't block the system, Shen Qian is very confident.
Not only because his own mental power is strong enough, but also because... the "Stage of the Great Emperor" has already fucking finished cooling down!
