Even before the sun sets, Sun Zuo can handle most of the enemies on his own.

Sun Zuo seemed to be stimulated by Shen Qian's strength, and his attacks became extremely frenzied. He had already cultivated a soul secret technique and was at the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm. He was a first-rate figure, capable of eliminating monsters like Shen Qian who could not be judged by ordinary standards.

He easily deflected several waves of attacks, and at least five or six martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm died at his hands.

As for Chen Qian, he would often drift off into a daze, seemingly lost in thought.

After walking and stopping for about half an hour, they passed through a coral reef that had obscured their view. Suddenly, the view opened up before them, and Sun Zuo stopped, his mouth slightly open. Shen Qian was also attracted by the scene before him and temporarily stopped thinking.

The warm and gentle light shone on their faces, and in their childlike eyes, a towering mountain seemed almost too large to be contained within their field of vision.

Shen Qian suddenly understood why he had seen the "mountain of books" so long ago, but the actual distance was so far.

Because this mountain of books... is very, very high, and very, very large.

Judging by sight, this mountain, which is entirely made up of glowing books, is at least ten thousand feet high at its highest point, and its top is almost invisible at a glance.

Compared to its height, its area seems insignificant, but it is still at least tens of miles in circumference, like a large, luminous cone standing tall in this vast basin hidden deep in the seabed.

Meanwhile, the basin was in utter chaos.

Even though the number of martial artists who first entered the "Central Sea" was not very large, whether it was because the Book Mountain was too conspicuous or because the area of ​​the Central Sea was far less than that of the other eight seas, at least five or six thousand martial artists had already gathered in this basin with a radius of a thousand miles.

In contrast, the number of attacks he encountered on the road before sinking was relatively small.

The basin was in complete chaos at this moment. The cause was easy to guess, because in this vast basin, countless clusters of "radiance" were floating like stars in the sky.

Even if only a small portion of them are genuine scholars, it is still a rather exaggerated number, far exceeding the number of martial artists present.

Even though Shen Qian and Sun Zuo had collected a lot of "literary titles" along the way and had lamented that Zhonghai was a virgin land that had been lonely and empty for who knows how long, they were still stunned at this moment.

"Hiss, this is definitely the core of Zhonghai. It might be more than two hundred years old. It's very likely that the wave of warriors who entered when Zhonghai last opened didn't even explore this place."

Sun Zuo said excitedly, "It's because 'Book Mountain' was born here that it has given everyone a guiding light!"

Perhaps because there were too many "literary positions" in his sight, Sun Zuo was even interested in making some guesses and did not rush to make a move to compete for them.

Shen Qian wasn't in a hurry. He just looked at the chaos in the field, and his previous thoughts were stirred up again.

Although there are a great many "literary positions" here, battles are breaking out everywhere. Obviously, some high-star literary positions will be discovered by multiple people at the same time, which will most likely lead to a fight to the death.

Besides the battles on all sides, the "Book Mountain" at the very heart of the place was not peaceful either. Some people were trying to climb the "Book Mountain", but as soon as they reached a certain height, they would always be intercepted by other martial artists. As a result, during the minute that Chen Qian silently watched, not a single person reached the top.

Let alone reaching the summit, very few martial artists can even get more than halfway there.

"The key to forging the 'Literary Position' is at the summit of the Mountain of Books. Legend has it that the first person to reach the summit will receive additional benefits, and the 'Mountain of Books' will disappear after forging at most three times. That's why these people fight to this point."

Sun Zuo sighed from the side.

Shen Qian didn't speak. Although he didn't know beforehand, he had already guessed a thing or two from the scene before him.

Moreover, this "mountain of books" must have restrictions, as it can only be climbed on foot; otherwise, the martial artists on the mountain of books wouldn't have had such a difficult time.

After observing Chen Qian for half a day, it was discovered that the "mountain of books" itself was not dangerous, and the books that formed the mountain were indeed the condensation of knowledge essence. In other words, the "mountain of books" itself was a collection of countless literary works.

"Are those 'literary ranks' that make up the mountain of books impossible to obtain?"

Shen Qian couldn't help but ask a question.

"Of course, otherwise how could it be called a 'mountain of books'? Although the information I have is not written about it, countless predecessors must have tried it. Otherwise, this huge 'mountain of books' would have been completely demolished long ago."

Sun Zuo offered an explanation, then could no longer contain himself, "It's time for us to make our move!"

Shen Qian still didn't move. Besides observing the situation in the basin, he was actually doing something else.

At this moment, something was finally discovered in the spread of spiritual power.

"You go and compete for the 'literary rank' first, I'll come back later."

Before he could finish speaking, he leaped into the air and swooped down towards a corner of the basin.

Sun Zuo was taken aback. After his expression changed several times, he first looked at the knowledge radiance that filled the sky, then at the departing figure, and finally gritted his teeth and followed.

"you……"

Shen Qian, who was rapidly flying through the air, was surprised to see Sun Zuo following behind.

“Let’s act together. Someone has to keep an eye on things behind the scenes, right… The ‘literary rank’ thing isn’t urgent. Anyway, no one can refine it on the spot.” Sun Zuo grinned.

Shen Qian nodded without saying anything more, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived above a chaotic battle zone.
