Heavenly soldiers?
Chen Qian was initially bewildered, then his expression changed slightly.
What heavenly soldiers? Which heavenly soldiers... could it be what he's thinking?
"According to Chinese legends, only soldiers from the Heavenly Court are called Heavenly Soldiers. You also said that there was a Heavenly Court in your time. Could it be that... this is the Heavenly Court?"
Before sinking, he incredulously stepped onto a nearby hillside and looked around.
The earth was desolate, the sky was shattered, the mountains collapsed, and the rivers were lifeless... He could not see any of the so-called celestial atmosphere.
But he also had a dreamlike quality to him.
This is the legendary abode of immortals in Chinese mythology!
...If it's true, wouldn't he have already stepped into mythology?
"That doesn't make sense either. Only celestial soldiers have the strength of high-level martial artists?"
Suddenly, something occurred to Chen Qian, and he couldn't help but have doubts.
They're supposed to be high and mighty immortals, right... and this is it?
"I'm not sure if this is the Heavenly Court."
Tantai Qin first shook her head, then said softly, "Besides, in my impression, the Heavenly Court is not entirely inhabited by immortals; there are also those with half-immortal bodies and even mortal bodies."
“Even so, the Heavenly Soldiers are still somewhat weak.” Shen Qian shrugged.
"Putting aside the fact that they don't look like normal living beings, and may have been resurrected by some mysterious force after being dead, even if they were to unleash their full power, do you know how many heavenly soldiers there are?"
"Um?"
"Ten million," Tantai Qin said directly, without keeping anyone in suspense.
"Thousands... millions?"
Shen Qian was truly shocked.
If Tantai Qin wasn't referring to a figurative number, then it would be at least ten million high-level martial artists.
Could all the high-level martial artists in all of China add up to a million?
It's extremely risky.
Shen Qian had little idea of the power that ten million highly skilled martial artists could unleash, especially when they wore specially made armor and weapons.
However, it might still be possible to kill ten thousand mountains and seas by jumping?
Shaking his head, Chen Qian dispelled his random thoughts and then raised another question.
"Regardless of whether this is the so-called Heavenly Court or Tantai, why is the spiritual energy here so thin? Is it related to the shattered sky?"
Shen Qian had just discovered the reason for his extremely slow recovery through his senses.
The reason is that the spiritual energy here is extremely thin, with a concentration of less than one percent of that in the outside world.
Even the Condensing Essence Pill, specifically designed to restore vital energy, doesn't have much of an effect; at most, it speeds things up a little... after all, there's a lack of raw materials.
“There are many reasons for the scarcity of spiritual energy, such as the disorder of space and time, the lack of rules, the influence of formations, and so on. These are all possible.”
Tantai Qin explained.
Shen Qian nodded, too lazy to care anymore. In fact, even if he knew the reason, it wouldn't make a difference. After all, the scarcity of spiritual energy was an objective fact, and he couldn't change anything.
Judging by this recovery speed, Shen Qian estimated that it would take at least ten days to half a month for him to fully recover his strength.
It really makes me feel unsafe in a place like this.
...Although Shen Qian didn't quite believe the claim of "millions of heavenly soldiers".
How can we find the 'exit'?
After thinking for a moment, Shen Qian suppressed his curiosity and decided to leave as soon as possible, since he had already achieved his purpose for coming in.
Do we need to go back the way we came?
"If this is the Heavenly Court, the opening and closing of the Heavenly Gates have their own rules. You can only enter through the same Heavenly Gate, but you can't exit through it. You need to find another exit."
Just as Tantai Qin was about to continue speaking, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and she stood up and drew her long sword.
Because of the decline in his spiritual core, Shen Qian's senses were somewhat dulled. He noticed something was wrong and quickly turned around following Tantai Qin's gaze.
Clouds and mist drifted in from all directions.
When the clouds and mist cleared, revealing the densely packed bronze-armored warriors all around, Chen Qian couldn't help but gasp.
...At least ten thousand people!
What's even more terrifying is that there are four formations in total, and in front of each formation stands a silver-armored general. Although the general is also in a dilapidated state, his aura is far superior to that of the bronze-armored soldiers behind him.
Even a fool could tell... this is the boss!
Are we surrounded?
The situation before sinking was extremely difficult.
Just then, a black-clad figure with flowing robes stepped forward and stood in front of him, sword hanging down.
Tantai Qin's soft yet firm voice rang out.
"Stay close to me."
