"Never mind, it's just the second level, no rush."
Shen Qian comforted himself, the good news being that with the appearance of the golden light, the general direction was at least not wrong.
Just as he was about to continue forward, the leaves rustled, and it was the Great Sage who had been searching for a way in another direction who rushed back.
"%#*amp;amp;..."
After the Great Sage landed in front of Chen Qian, he first pointed behind him, and then shouted with a mixture of excitement and solemnity.
"Oh?" Shen Qian quickly understood and then became interested. "Let's go take a look."
...
A dozen minutes later, looking at the hundred-foot-tall tree demon that had crashed down before him, Shen Qian couldn't help but marvel.
He never imagined that there would be such a high-level demonic beast in the First Heaven World.
This tree spirit, which has lived for countless years, has not yet truly transcended the level of a high-level martial artist, but it is infinitely close to the realm of mountains and seas. Moreover, its vitality is extremely strong, making it very difficult to deal with.
According to normal assessment, this is at least a Q-level to P-level monster.
Even if Zhao Keyi were to encounter him, he probably wouldn't fare well.
For over 90% of the martial artists who enter the Nine Heavens World, this is an existence that inspires despair.
Beside Shen Qian was the Great Sage, who was covered in wounds and exhausted. For the purpose of training, Shen Qian let the Great Sage fight the tree demon first.
However, the Great Sage, whose cultivation level was only comparable to the late stage of a high-level martial artist, was naturally no match for the tree demon. So in the end, he slammed his sword forward and finally ended the tree demon's life.
A fist-sized, crystalline core rolled out, and at the same time, a dazzling light emanated from the soil where the tree demon had just occupied.
Shen Qian tossed the core to the excited Great Sage, then turned over the tree demon's roots.
Nine Heavenly Decrees, shimmering with a captivating luster, appeared in Shen Qian's field of vision.
In the very center of the Nine Heavens Decree, there is a small treasure chest.
The nine Nine Heavens Tokens only surprised Shen Qian briefly, but considering the tree demon's terrifying strength, giving him nine Nine Heavens Tokens as a reward was normal.
What truly intrigued him was the treasure chest.
Upon opening the treasure chest, however, there were no miraculous elixirs or rare treasures inside, but only a simple, antique-looking key.
Before sinking, I tried it out. The key was made of an unknown material. Apart from having a unique charm, I couldn't see anything else.
After searching the vicinity again to make sure nothing was missed, Shen Qian could only put away the mysterious key of unknown origin for the time being.
By this time, Shen Qian had already discerned some meaning.
Although the situation is unknown, the jungle he is in is probably a rather special place in the First Heaven World.
This tree spirit is essentially a hidden boss, but it was inexplicably defeated by Shen Qian in a solo fight.
With the unexpected gain, Shen Qian's mindset became completely peaceful.
It wasn't until the Great Sage, whose energy had increased considerably, awoke from his cultivation that Shen Qian led him on the journey to find the path once more.
...
Another hour later.
As the warm sunlight shone directly in, Shen Qian turned around and looked at the deep forest behind him, then exhaled a long breath.
After struggling for several hours, he finally came out.
In the distance lay a plain, and further still, mountains and rivers; everything had returned to normal.
And the direction of the golden light finally became clearer than ever before.
The twinkling stars overhead had become incredibly numerous, numbering at least several thousand at a glance.
This also means that the number of martial artists who have entered the Second Heaven Gate has exceeded several thousand.
Without wasting any more time, Chen Qian let the Great Sage jump onto his shoulder, and then with a "boom," he sped forward.
Soon, Shen Qian saw a human figure for the first time.
Those were two martial artists locked in a fierce battle, both roughly at the intermediate level, fighting madly over a Nine Heavens Token lying on the ground.
Shen Qian glanced at the readily available Nine Heavens Token, hesitated slightly, then shook his head and looked away.
These two people had no grudge against him, so there was no need for him to do something like bullying the weak and ruining his military reputation.
As Shen Qian swept across the sky without stopping, the two stopped in astonishment. However, Shen Qian's figure only flashed by and quickly disappeared above their heads.
The further they went, the more figures appeared in Chen Qian's field of vision.
Some people were cautiously exploring their surroundings, while others were in groups of three or four martial artists ganging up on a demonic beast. However, most of them, like Shen Qian, were rushing towards the Second Heaven Gate.
Although the First Heaven was vast, it was nothing compared to the terrifying speed at which it sank.
Just over ten minutes later, in Shenqian's field of vision, he could see the Heavenly Gate, which stood between heaven and earth and was about a hundred meters tall.
At this moment, hundreds of figures gathered outside the Heavenly Gate.
The martial artists, wary of each other, lingered near the Heavenly Gate, but none of them entered.
At first, he was puzzled, but as he got closer, he understood what was going on.
Not everyone can easily collect two Nine Heavens Tokens. Apart from the warriors on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and the Rising Dragon Ranking, most people can't even find one Nine Heavens Token.
In this situation, there is still another path to take.
That means they would simply stand near the Heavenly Gate and steal other people's Nine Heavens Tokens!
So with just a glance, Shen Qian already understood what these people were up to.
However, Shen Qian had no scruples whatsoever, and didn't even bother to conceal his figure before charging directly toward the Heavenly Gate.
