After Lao Liu's words, he thought he had really seen the real Taiyi King, but it seems he was just overthinking it.
But this is for the best, otherwise he would have been so nervous by Lao Liu's explanation that he was afraid there was some shocking secret behind it.
"Alright, I'll see you downstairs. You and Liu Changqing can leave on your own."
After the conversation ended, Marquis Xuanming waved his hand, and Shen Qian disappeared while bowing.
Marquis Xuanming turned around and took another deep look into the depths of Wuding Bridge. His gaze seemed to pierce through the ancient hall, revealing everything inside.
However, no matter how Ren Xuanming Hou investigated, he could not find a trace of familiar aura.
"One hundred and twelve years have passed, where have you been... Teacher!"
Marquis Xuanming murmured.
...
Inside the luxury speedboat, Shen Qian peered curiously through the window.
Through the protective layer on the outside of the speedboat, one can see the turbulent sea. On the almost black sea, lightning flashes and thunder roars, storms rage, and occasionally liquefied, chaotic spiritual energy appears, displaying a kaleidoscope of colors.
There was an unusual beauty amidst the destruction.
"Is this what they call overseas?"
As a child from the inland, Shen Qian had always been extremely curious about the sea. However, the sea after the spiritual energy revival was a forbidden zone within a forbidden zone, and Shen Qian was only able to see its true face today.
"Kid, I admit you're quite strong now, but don't even think about places like overseas for now. These are areas where even top-tier mountain and sea monsters can perish. I'm still a bit too weak to even freely roam around here."
Liu Changqing patted Shen Qian on the shoulder.
The two were on their way back inland. The speedboat they were traveling on had a pre-planned route marked with royal symbols, which could be considered a kind of alternative "escort".
"What's in the sea?" Shen Qian asked curiously upon hearing this.
“Anything is possible.” Liu Changqing stared at the raging sea. “From ancient times to the present, mankind has never truly conquered the sea, especially after the appearance of ‘gates’… It is said that the sea is the place with the most ‘gates’.”
He listened thoughtfully before sinking in.
This statement is probably true, after all, he entered the East China Sea by passing through an invisible "door".
“Even excluding the existence of the ‘gate,’ there are countless secrets in the sea. For example, near the Wuding Bridge where we just stood, as far as I know, there is an ancient water prison.” Liu Changqing said mysteriously.
"A water hell?" Shen Qian became even more curious.
"Yes, the news should be true. Although I don't know what is being held there, I heard that the reason why Marquis Xuanming has been stationed in the East Sea for so long is mainly to guard that water prison. The Wuding Bridge is just an afterthought," Liu Changqing chuckled.
Shen Qian was taken aback upon hearing this.
He vaguely felt that he had grasped something, but the thought was fleeting and he couldn't quite understand it for the time being.
"Kid, don't think too much about it. This time, it's really about me and you making a fortune!"
Liu Changqing seemed to have thought of something, and excitement reappeared on his face.
Shen Qian also smiled.
After the two of them looted the place, even if Marquis Xuanming took 30%, the remaining amount was still astronomical.
A rough estimate puts it at over five billion...
However, Shen Qian is less interested in money now; he is more eager to know how much progress he has made.
He needs a body composition analyzer.
With this thought in mind, Shen Qian looked out the window at the coastline that was getting closer and closer, and he also began to feel expectant.
