He carried Ji Ruoshui to the bed, and with great difficulty managed to break free from her arms without leaving a trace. After tucking her in, he left the room.
With only three days until the start of the Nine Heavens War, there is one more thing to do before sinking.
After sitting in the living room for a while, Shen Qian took the items and left the hotel only after the Hundred Kings Palace's Dead Servants delivered the goods.
...
It has to be said that Shanghai, as a top-tier city, truly stands out from the crowd in every way.
Even in the restricted areas outside the city, apart from the ever-changing weather above, everything appears peaceful and serene.
It wasn't until they were nearly a hundred kilometers away from the city that the chaotic aura unique to the restricted area began to hit them.
Chen Qian saw the marked location and stopped, whistling as he did so.
With the aid of a long, drawn-out breath, the whistle carried far and wide.
A moment later, the forest rustled, and a white ape, nearly three meters long and carrying a long staff, sprang out. The most striking feature was the tuft of golden hair on its forehead, which gave it an air of regal authority.
Upon seeing Shen Qian, the ape, which had been exuding a bloody aura and had a ferocious appearance, rapidly shrank in size. By the time it reached Shen Qian, it had returned to its half-human-sized form and looked harmless.
Because they needed to enter Shanghai, Shen Qian simply left the Great Sage in the suburbs to continue his training.
Judging from the perception before the sinking, the Great Sage's growth rate is indeed astonishing as ever.
The newly grown golden hair on its forehead has changed from a pale gold to a rich gold.
Sensing the Emperor Monkey's strength, which had reached the mid-stage of a high-level martial artist, Shen Qian nodded in satisfaction.
This also means that the Great Sage has officially broken free from the shackles of his bloodline and evolved from a T-level monster to an S-level monster.
The growth ceiling of a T-level monster corresponds to the mid-stage of a high-level martial artist, while that of an S-level monster corresponds to the peak of a high-level martial artist.
Normally, it is very difficult for demonic beasts to break free from the shackles of their bloodline, but... you can spend money.
Before sinking, he invested nearly five million resources, and with the Great Sage's own talent, it didn't take much effort for him to evolve from T-level to S-level.
With Shen Qian's current financial resources, there's no need to worry about not being able to support the Great Sage for the time being; he can just keep spending money.
Shen Qian estimated that obstacles would only begin to appear when evolving from R-level to Q-level.
"Help me find a place. When I come out of seclusion, I might be able to take you to the heavens for some fun."
Shen Qian smiled and patted the Great Sage's head.
Although all the details have not yet been disclosed, one thing is certain.
This battle for the Nine Heavens will be without any restrictions.
Whether it's cultivation techniques, weapons, or demonic beasts, anything that can enhance one's strength can be used in the battle for the Nine Heavens.
I heard that Wu Yi, whom I met at the manor today, is a genius who is also ranked on the Nine Heavens Ranking and keeps a mountain and sea monster.
Before sinking, he was thinking that if there were many opportunities in it, he might not need them, but they would be beneficial to the Great Sage.
Upon hearing this, the Great Sage shouted excitedly a few times and then turned around to lead the way.
Having spent some time here, the Great Sage had already turned this mountain forest into his own territory, so he easily led Shen Qian to a hidden cave.
After setting up an isolation formation and letting the Great Sage have his fun, Chen Qian sat down cross-legged in the cave.
What he has to do today is both simple and complex.
He aims to break through to the High Martial Artist level in the next 50+ hours!
When he left the Spirit Witch World, he had already broken through to the eighth level of the intermediate martial artist realm. Although he had deliberately cultivated during this short period of time, his progress had not slowed down at all.
The greatest credit goes to the complete method of the "Ancient Body Refining Technique" brought back by Elder Gao through a messenger.
This powerful technique, which allowed Shen Qian to cultivate to the very end of the mountains and seas, once again brought his cultivation speed back to a high speed, or even faster!
Having already condensed his spiritual core and was able to easily multitask before sinking, his physical body was being strengthened almost every moment under the operation of the Body Refining Technique.
For Shen Qian, who is free from constraints, perhaps with just a little help, he could easily break through that line and officially enter the ranks of high-level martial artists.
If it were an easy breakthrough, Chen Qian probably wouldn't have paid so much attention to it.
However, breakthroughs in higher realms will inevitably be accompanied by leaps in the quality of one's vital energy.
This means that before officially stepping into the mountains and seas, this is the last chance for Chen Qian to significantly improve himself through normal means.
Most importantly, what flows through his body now is Yuan energy.
Moreover, his Yuan Power had been strengthened once at Wuding Bridge. Although Shen Qian felt that it was unlikely that his Yuan Power would undergo another qualitative change after breaking through to the High Martial Artist level, even a slight enhancement would allow him to take his strength to the next level.
As for why they had to break through into the restricted area, it was for safety's sake.
In today's Shanghai, Shen Qian has no idea how many kings and nobles exist there, let alone top-tier kings and nobles like Wu Wei.
With a king's perception, covering the Demon Realm in an instant should not be difficult.
If others were to find out that his combat strength had already exceeded 20,000, but his true cultivation level was only that of a mid-level martial artist, it might lead to unpredictable consequences.
This concerns his greatest secret before sinking, so he has to be careful.
With a reach, Shen Qian took out the package he had just purchased from the Hundred Kings Palace.
Upon opening the package, three small porcelain bottles were found quietly inside.
There are three types of pills here: Shengyuan Pill, Juding Pill, and Zhuyuan Pill.
