boom!
With a powerful punch, Chen Qian blasted a wild boar-like monster charging towards him into pieces, its white and red fragments scattered across the ground.
Shen Qian frowned, his gaze finally settling on the wild boar's pale red eyes.
To be fair, this unknown wild boar is at least level W, comparable to a mid-level martial artist. Considering this is only the first level of heaven, it is already quite powerful.
What's unusual is that this is the third monster attack that Chen Qian has encountered in just one hour.
This continent is clearly very vast, but the frequency with which these monsters appear... is a bit too high.
So far, Shen Qian has been wandering around this jungle, but has not yet encountered any other martial artists.
At this moment, the surrounding space suddenly trembled. Just as Shen Qian was on guard, a pure white ape appeared next to him with a flash of light.
"Great Sage".
He relaxed and let the somewhat excited Great Sage leap onto his shoulder.
Before setting off, all martial artists who were to bring demonic beasts into the arena registered at a temporary registration point. The demonic beasts did not enter the arena with them, but were brought in an hour later.
Shen Qian guessed that it was because the teleportation mechanism established for demonic beasts was different from that for martial artists, so they could only take different passages.
The Great Sage also had an anklet tied around his ankle, and judging from the number, it should have been tied to the one he had before he sank.
After the Great Sage roared and greeted Shen Qian, his gaze suddenly shifted and fixed on the shattered corpse of the demon beast below.
Then, amidst Shen Qian's puzzled gaze, the Great Sage leaped over, rummaged through the shattered flesh and blood, and pulled out an inconspicuous transparent stone.
"Crack!"
The Great Sage swallowed the stone, chewed it, and then excitedly pointed to his abdomen.
After a flurry of chatter, Shen Qian exclaimed in surprise, "You're saying this crystal is full of pure spiritual energy and can be directly consumed?"
After a moment's thought, Chen Qian suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
If this world was truly created by kings and nobles, then in a sense, all the living beings on this continent are not real, and the spiritual crystals are like their cores.
Normally, although martial artists condense their vital energy by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, this spiritual energy must be transformed through cultivation techniques before it can become vital energy.
The greatest function of cultivation techniques is to filter out impurities from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is then absorbed by the physical body and transformed into vital energy.
The spiritual energy crystals released by the demonic beasts of the Nine Heavens World have already been filtered by kings and nobles; in other words, they can be directly absorbed.
Even the "Primordial Technique" cultivated before sinking could not achieve such efficiency.
If the entire Nine Heavens World is like this, then it is simply a top-notch cultivation holy land for martial artists!
Is this also a hidden perk?
Since they were all low-level demonic beasts, Shen Qian didn't have any particular thoughts and hadn't used his mental power to scan them before, but he only discovered the secret at this moment.
He originally thought that the appearance of these monsters was just to create obstacles, but he did not expect that there would be such benefits.
Those who withdrew out of fear would surely regret it to death if they knew the truth.
Even without competing or fighting, just experiencing the Nine Heavens World and killing a few more demonic beasts would make the trip worthwhile.
However, given the quality of Shen Qian's spiritual energy, the spiritual energy crystals produced by these low-level demonic beasts had negligible effect on him, but were very effective on the Great Sage.
After the Great Sage swallowed the core, Shen Qian only needed to sense it briefly to discover that the Great Sage's aura was noticeably stronger by a little bit.
"It seems that bringing you here was definitely the right decision."
Shen Qian smiled, casually identified the direction, and then called to the Great Sage to continue forward.
...
Another ten minutes or so later.
Looking at the shattered flesh and blood scattered at his feet, Shen Qian frowned after confirming with the Great Sage.
This is clearly the place where he killed that wild boar monster.
In other words, he went around in circles and ended up back where he started.
This is not scientific.
Although Shen Qian knew that his sense of direction was really bad, especially in places with chaotic magnetic fields, he didn't think he would keep going around in circles.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Qian stomped his foot heavily, and his body instantly rose from the ground, soaring straight into the sky.
Hundreds of meters above the ground, the surrounding landscape finally came into clear view of Shen Qian, who couldn't help but gasp.
The jungle stretched out from beneath my feet, vast and boundless in all directions, with thick fog obscuring the sky, its end nowhere in sight.
Standing high in the sky, one feels like a reef in a vast ocean, appearing so small and lonely.
He extended his mental energy in all directions, but clearly felt an obstacle. After extending it only a hundred or two meters, he could not go any further.
"What the hell is this place?"
...
In the square, all the stone statues have long since fallen silent, losing their original luster.
Only the 3D projection in mid-air was emitting a bright light. On the miniature continent, there were more than 200,000 numbered cursors. At this moment, many of the cursors were moving, and some had become entangled.
At one point, one of the most inconspicuous cursors suddenly went out, and then a ripple appeared in the square, where a weak young man collapsed.
"Zhou Qun!"
With a shout, a powerful expert from the Mountain and Sea Realm landed beside the young man on the platform.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I...I failed."
