In the endless abyss, only Shen Qian sat here with a silent face, stroking the long sword in his hand.
The sword is four inches long, and its shell is made of thousands of years of ice. There are two small characters "Moon Falcon" engraved on the hilt.
Tantai Qin's SSS-level psychic long sword is actually named after the girl from the Dayue clan.
Shen Qian didn't know the reason, maybe it was just because that girl's emotion once planted a seed in Tantai Qin's heart, but it didn't blossom until today, tens of millions of years later.
For a swordsman, when the sword is with you, but with the sword, you are gone.
If the sword kills a person, there is only one explanation...
She has something more valuable than a sword.
Shen Qian always felt that his life should be a comedy, with everyone still around in the end, but this ideal seemed to have completely collapsed overnight.
On this day, he lost two of the most important people at the same time.
But Shen Qian found that he was not that sad. He had no urge to cry, but he seemed to have lost interest in everything. Even when facing the King of Yanling who incarnated the rules, it did not make him feel so tired.
"Master, is this my fault?"
Shen Qian murmured, "Actually, what I should have thought about is that with her character, how could she leave like this? When she didn't speak, she had already made up her mind."
The figure of the Green Lotus Buddha appeared beside Shen Qian at some unknown time. He said the Buddha's name and said slowly: "If there is a sentient being, the seed will be planted, and the cause and effect will come back to life. There is no seed if there is no heart, and there is no birth if there is no nature."< /p>
Shen Qian was silent after hearing this, and then said for a long time: "...I don't understand."
"Everything in the world must have an effect and a cause. The reason why you are confused is just because sadness has blinded your eyes."
Qinglian Buddha smiled slightly and said.
"Huh?"
Shen Qian was startled, what does this mean?
"Sadness blinds my eyes..."
Shen Qian murmured and repeated, and couldn't help but start to review the memories in his mind... all the details of his past with Tantai Qin that he had been avoiding just now, all the details appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, Shen Qian's mind was shaken and he saw a scene from more than half a year ago.
At that time, in the heavenly realm, Tantai Qin had just recovered his past memories.
Shen Qian once asked her if the two had met since ancient times, and Tantaiqin only said, "You don't remember."
But the implication is obvious. The two did have interactions in ancient times, but Shen Qian had no corresponding memory.
Now he already knows that the man in white is not him, but the flashbacks of the Bai Emperor, King Jiangling and others he once saw. In other words, he himself will not have memory disorder, so why is Tantai Qin's I have seen myself in my memory, but I have not seen Tantai Qin?
There's only one explanation... and that's something that hasn't happened yet.
From a philosophical point of view, it means that Shen Qian will return to the river of time every day after that, and then have an entanglement with Tantai Qin in one or more periods.
Thinking of the long river of time, Shen Qian suddenly thought of the Nine Heavens War.
His eyes lit up.
Yes, the Nine Heavens War... At that time, the teacher also predicted "nine deaths". At first Shen Qian thought it meant that only one out of ten people could survive, but it wasn't until he went back in time to change the ending that Shen Qian discovered that the real meaning was "Even if there are many difficulties, there is still a glimmer of hope."
As King Jiangling said, Shen Qian can save more than just himself.
Could it be that...this is the true meaning of what the Buddha said?
Since he once saved Lin Sanmo and others, why can't he save Tantai Qin again?
Although the level of difficulty is obviously not the same, Shen Qian clearly knows that with his current strength, no matter how many times he tries again, he will never be able to truly defeat "him".
And Gao Wenyuan has warned Shen Qian not to enter the river of time lightly, because there, Shen Qian will also be locked by Him.
But no matter what, this is a hope.
It's not possible now, but that doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future.
Even, as long as he is strong enough, not to mention Tantai Qin, the teacher can be saved, and maybe there are more people...
Shen Qian suddenly stood up, his eyes regained their vitality at some point. He was not afraid of hardships, what he was really afraid of was just the loss of hope.
"Thank you, Master..."
Thinking like this, Shen Qian was about to thank Qinglian Buddha, but when he turned around, he realized that there was no one around him.
Shen Qian couldn't tell for a moment whether the phantom body of Qinglian Buddha really appeared just now, or whether it was all just his own imagination. In fact, he was just asking and answering questions for himself?
But it’s not important anymore.
At this time, Shen Qian, who had gained some energy, had time to examine his own situation.
Although it was just a soul body, it was extremely weak at this time. It should have been asleep for at least twenty hours, but Shen Qian woke up early, and only about ten hours should have passed in the perception.
In addition, the system is indeed unable to sense it. No matter how Shen Qian calls it, there is no response at all. It is obviously waiting for the injection of energy to be reactivated.
As for how to get out, Shen Qian has already thought about it.
In his induction, the channel between "Xuehai" and the earth actually still exists. After all, the ten-day period is far from coming, but maybe he had a premonition before, and the earth side temporarily closed the channel.
As long as Wu Wei discovers that he has not truly fallen, the passage should be reopened.
With this thought in mind, Shen Qian stood up, inserted Tantaiqin's long sword on the pillar, looked at it silently for a while, and then used his remaining soul power to activate the mark on his arm.
Although the channel is closed, "Xuehai" has removed the shield at this time, and the marks between his body and soul can still sense each other. He believes that someone must be guarding his body at this time and should be able to detect abnormalities.
Shen Qian did not wait too long. Soon, Shen Qian, who was still in control of the "Xuehai" sacred object, realized that he could leave at any time.
But before leaving, Shen Qian had one last thing to do.
He returned to Shushan Basin and came to the space where the ancient chaotic beast was hiding.
After the darkness passed, Shen Qian appeared in the hidden enclosed space.
The sight that caught his eye made him squint.
The enclosed space was already in pieces, and most of the huge floating island had disappeared, while a huge, mutilated body was firmly protecting the remaining half of the island.
As far as Shen Qian could see, on the remaining island, several ancient chaotic beasts that were still in their infancy hid in fear.
Shen Qian probably understood what was going on.
The pale storm nearly swept through most of the "Xuehai", and the Shushan Basin was also within the affected area. The space here was just folded, but it did not mean that it was out of dimension and would still be swept by the storm.
But this place is already far away from the core location. With the strength of the adult ancient beast, if he tried to avoid it, like Tantai Qin did, his life would not be in danger.
But he could escape, but he didn't have time to gather all the cubs, so at the last moment, he blocked the Emperor's Storm with his own body, but the cost was his life.
Shen Qian remained silent, his face uncertain.
He came here to see if there was a chance to kill Pi Qi. Regardless of whether Pi Qi really harbored ill intentions towards the human race, Shen Qian still could not allow such a hidden danger to remain in the "Sea of Learning".
At this moment, he has mastered the sacred object of "Xuehai". Although he is extremely weak, if he uses the power of "Xuehai", he can still erupt with terrifying power. He cannot resist it, but ordinary princes still have a chance to suppress it.
Although Pi Qi seemed to have helped him, this was a racial dispute and had nothing to do with grudges.
After all, with Pi Qi's strength, if it really wants to attack the human warriors who enter the "Sea of Learning", no one can stop it.
But he didn't expect that Pi Qi died first, leaving only a few cubs.
These chaos cubs, which only have a lifespan of hundreds of years, are probably equivalent to babies that have just learned to walk when converted into human years, which makes Shen Qian hesitate.
After thinking for a long time, Shen Qian moved and landed on the incomplete island.
He held the sacred object of "Xuehai" in his hand, and with a thought, the surrounding seawater formed a powerful confinement force, causing several cubs that fled hastily to freeze in place.
Shen Qian closed his eyes to sense it, and then stretched out his hand to grab it. Suddenly, wisps of gray gas were pulled away from the hands of several cubs and reached Shen Qian's hand.
Several cubs showed expressions of pain, and their breaths suddenly became weak.
Shen Qian was referring to the practice of the former Buddha. Without the natural energy of chaos, these young beasts will transform into ordinary monsters. Although they are still powerful, it will be difficult to reach the height of princes.
"It can be regarded as leaving a legacy for your tribe. As for whether they will die in the hands of the warriors who come here to practice, that is none of my business."
Then Shen Qian followed the same example and pulled out the remaining chaotic aura from Pi Qi's body.
Although King Jiangling and Buddha have learned from the past, Shen Qian does not intend to absorb or refine this chaotic energy, but maybe this chaotic energy can strengthen the emperor character card.
After doing all this, Shen Qian no longer resisted the power of summons on the mark, and his body disappeared into the "Sea of Learning".
……
In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, within the abandoned dock used as a temporary transfer location.
When Shen Qian suddenly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was chaos.
There were crowds of people running around everywhere. Some people were holding bracelets and asking loudly. Others were rushing out. The military warriors who were originally responsible for maintaining order were also gathering in different directions at this time. No one cares about the order of the scene.
"What happened?"
After Shen Qian was stunned, he quickly looked at Li Muyi and Qu Bai who were still guarding him.
As for Lin Sanmo, Taishi Wuwei and others, they have all disappeared.
"Shen Qian, you're back!" As soon as Li Mu saw Shen Qian opening his eyes, he came up excitedly and hugged Shen Qian's head, and said in surprise: "I knew you wouldn't die that easily!"
"It's a bit boring. We'll talk about this later... First, let's talk about what's going on here?"
Shen Qian pushed Li Muyi away and stood up from the ground.
"We are guarding you and dare not leave. Lin Sanmo and the others went to inquire first, but we are sure that something big has happened... Just before you came back, the princes who were originally guarding here left one after another. Only the minister is still waiting for you."
Qu Bai finished speaking very quickly and pointed forward, "The minister should be in that direction. There was a fight between warriors just now. He rushed over to deal with it. Go and find him quickly."
"Okay!"
Shen Qian didn't waste any more words. He flashed and disappeared instantly.
……
Thousands of meters away, on a pile of old containers, when Shen Qian arrived, Wu Wei, who had just finished explaining something to several martial arts officials, also felt something and turned around to look.
"You're back...it's okay." Wu Wei's face showed a hint of exhaustion and anxiety. Seeing Shen Qian, he looked relieved and laughed at himself, "I heard you brought back I got a lot of 'literary positions', ha, finally there is some good news."
"Minister, what happened?" Shen Qian fell in front of Wu Wei and asked with a frown.
"Just half a day ago, Guangcheng fell." Wu Wei whispered.
"What?"
Shen Qian was shocked and said in disbelief, "Guangcheng is an A-class city, how is this possible!"
Excluding the S-rated Beidu and Magic City, there are no more than twenty A-level cities in China. Guangcheng is also a leader among them. Huawu, one of the four major colleges in China, is located in Guangcheng.
Such a city is 100% controlled by princes, how could it fall directly?
Although the situation in the previous six months was extremely tense, with more than a hundred "doors" opened, only four C-level cities were in danger of destruction, which was not the same concept as the fall of Guangcheng.
"Originally, Guangcheng was headed by the Champion, but in order to open the 'Sea of Learning', he had to leave temporarily. Even so, there were hundreds of top princes in Guangcheng, so the Champion would not be able to rush back... …”
Wu Wei said in a deep voice, "But the aliens behind the seven 'doors' near Guangcheng did not know why they went crazy. They suddenly came out in full force and attacked Guangcheng regardless of the cost. Not only that, the most fundamental reason is that there are A new 'door' has opened."
"What 'door'?" Shen Qian was stunned.
"The 'Gate' of Yuanhai is an S-level 'Gate'." Wu Wei said softly.
"S-level?"
Shen Qian suddenly fell silent when he heard this. If this is the case, even if the champion is still in Guangcheng, he may not be able to save the lives of everyone in the city.
"But why did the chaos spread here?"
Shen Qian then realized that something had happened to Guangcheng, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why all the princes had left and why the order in this place was suddenly out of control.
Wu Wei looked strange, and suddenly grabbed Shen Qian's shoulder and brought him high into the sky.
Shen Qian was confused at first, but soon made a mistake, because with just one glance, he knew the reasons why many princes left.
Within a few hundred miles of his sight, there were several rays of light of different colors, vaguely outlining the shapes of "doors".
And from those "doors", all kinds of indescribable strange creatures are rushing out. Even with Shen Qian's eyesight, he can't count their number for a while.
Silent killing was going on on the vast land, and the military warriors who responded hastily were retreating steadily. However, fortunately, as the warriors participating in the "Xuehai" training arrived nearby, they temporarily stabilized their position, and even counterattacked. The trend.
However, Wu Wei looked at this scene without any happy expression.
"Guangcheng is not an isolated case... According to the current feedback, all the 'doors' within the monitoring range have been opened. As if they had agreed, all races came out in full force and launched a general attack on the human race. Most of the defenses in the restricted area were closed. Has been destroyed."
Wu Wei said in a low voice with a solemn expression, "Shen Qian, the final decisive battle has begun."
