Out of caution, it did not immediately sink.
However, after looking left and right and finding no danger or signs of life, Chen Qian, unable to suppress his curiosity, decided to enter the main hall to investigate.
Firstly, because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on this island is exceptionally rich, it is clearly not an ordinary place.
From a distance, those islands stretched out in a row, even vaguely forming some kind of formation, but since we couldn't see the whole picture before we went down, we couldn't make a judgment.
Secondly, after observing the environment before and after, the sinking can be basically determined.
The ancient, simple hall with blue bricks and tiles beneath his feet is located at the very heart of the island, exuding an aura of a crouching tiger and a coiled dragon.
He didn't see any other buildings on the island, so whatever was inside the main hall must be part of the island's secrets.
When Shen Qian leaped off the roof and landed lightly on the ground, he realized that the palace was far more magnificent than he had imagined.
The dome, hundreds of meters high, is supported by massive, seamless stone pillars. Moss grows in the crevices of the rocks, telling the story of the place's long history.
Shen Qian arrived at the gate.
A stone plaque hangs above the roof of the hall, bearing the two large characters "Divine Mechanism".
Shen Qian felt a wave of dizziness and quickly lowered his head, secretly alarmed.
The author of these two powerful characters is unknown, but the brushstrokes are so striking that they are almost too much to look at directly.
He is definitely a top-tier expert.
As Shen Qian hesitated whether to push the door open, with a loud "boom," the two stone doors, which had been tightly closed, seemed to respond to something and suddenly opened.
A beam of light shone through the dark doorway and fell directly on Shen Qian.
The next moment, Shen Qian's figure disappeared from the spot.
Just before the space shifted, Shen Qian vaguely heard a roar coming from afar.
For some reason, that roar had a strangely familiar feel to it.
...
As the light shifted between darkness and light, Shen Qian appeared in another area.
In the endless void, he stood on a flowing meteorite, as if he were in the vast universe, surrounded by stars and myriad phenomena.
The stars were constantly shifting, conjuring up all sorts of magnificent phenomena, which seemed to contain profound truths, making Shen Qian's heart flutter... even though he couldn't understand them.
Amidst the movement of those stars, Chen Qian faintly heard some strange friction sounds.
He observed intently for a moment, and was immediately shocked.
If you strain your eyes, you'll discover that those dark places are filled with enormous gears, each over a kilometer in diameter. They form sets of constantly operating, secret machinery that construct this infinitely vast starry sky.
In a flash, Shen Qian seemed to have thought of something.
According to legend, the title of Taiyi King, one of the original nine kings, who was the man who created the city's protection system and weather system, was not "Taiyi" in his early years, but "Shenji".
However, it seems that King Taiyi later found the title "Divine Strategist" too ostentatious, so he changed it to "Taiyi".
While reading this short story, Shen Qian couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark: as long as you're a top-tier noble, even if you're called "King of Fallen Heroes," you'll still be very flamboyant, okay?
In short, this detail made Shen Qian vaguely realize where he was.
This Divine Machine Hall is very likely related to King Taiyi.
In other words, this is the legendary secret realm of kings and nobles, and it also belongs to the category of royal treasures.
Just as Shen Qian was lost in thought, a figure appeared in mid-air.
This was a tall young man, dressed in a well-fitting white suit, with a handsome face and a weathered look in his eyes, but his figure appeared somewhat ethereal, like some kind of projection.
If it weren't for the striking difference in demeanor and attire, when Shen Qian saw that figure in white, he almost thought it was a powerful figure.
However, he quickly recalled the blurry photo online and realized who the person was.
"King Taiyi!"
Shen Qian quickly and respectfully bowed to the big boss.
Although the one appearing before them was certainly not the real King Taiyi, after all, King Taiyi had not shown his face for many years and his whereabouts were a mystery.
"The Wuding Bridge was a half-finished product from my early weapon-forging days. It had many flaws, so I casually discarded it overseas... However, I later discovered that it was just right for martial artists who were new to the world of martial arts to train."
After Taiyi King appeared, he said with a touch of emotion.
Shen Qian was completely bewildered.
Wuding Bridge?
Is this place called Wuding Bridge?
Although he looked around but couldn't see any connection between this place and the bridge, he vaguely felt that he had heard the name "Wu Ding Bridge" somewhere before.
But... where is it?
"Since you were able to win the title of Wuding Bridge, you must have gone through a lot of hardships, crossing eighty-one floating bridges. You must have gained a lot."
King Taiyi then laughed.
Shen Qian was even more confused.
...What leader?
"King Taiyi, you may have misunderstood. I just wandered into this place by chance..."
Shen Qian felt something was wrong and instinctively wanted to explain.
However, King Taiyi seemed not to have heard what he said at all, and continued to speak to himself, "But those gains are still inferior to what this Divine Mechanism Palace can give you."
Before sinking, he had no choice but to give up explaining.
He had already discovered that the Taiyi King's clone in front of him was likely just a projection, like a pre-programmed sequence of events, without any independent thought.
Based on King Taiyi's words, he was able to deduce some things.
It seems that the deserted island he unexpectedly entered after crossing the "gate" is very likely the end of the so-called Bridge of No Destiny.
