Most importantly, probably no one expected that Marquis Wuding, who had been silent since the beginning of the Nine Heavens War, would suddenly speak up for Shen Qian, and his words were so fiery.
Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that Marquis Wuding has always refrained from participating in any activities. Even though this is the Nine Heavens Contest, Marquis Wuding's presence still appears quite unusual.
Wu Wei's words, though seemingly unbiased at first glance, have actually set the tone for the matter.
The will of the Nine Heavens Battlefield cannot be manipulated!
In other words, there was no possibility of any violation before the sinking.
Many people are disappointed, especially the King of Zhou Yi, who is shrouded in mystery. It seems that after being subtly mocked by the Earl of Pingyang, he has remained silent and his attitude is ambiguous.
However, it is impossible to say that King Zhou was afraid of the Earl of Pingyang.
No one knows what the King of Zhou was thinking; it's truly a strange thing.
...
This is a depression filled with all sorts of bizarre and colorful mists.
Clang!
A heavy dragging sound was heard, and a moment later, Shenqian, dragging the corpse of a giant elephant, appeared beside a pool of water.
Chen Qian squatted down and grabbed a handful of mixed-color pebbles from beside the pool.
It happened again...
Along the way, this wasn't the first time Shen Qian had seen stones with such strange textures.
The stone contained no spiritual energy, yet it was surprisingly sturdy, as if it had been shattered by some immense force.
He tossed aside the pebbles, stood up, and subconsciously glanced at the pool of water beside him.
In the pool, the youthful innocence that remained on the young man's face had long since vanished, replaced by a hint of determination and sharpness that shone through his brows.
But as Shen Qian stared intently at his reflection in the pool, suddenly, he realized that he had transformed into a completely different person.
It was a long-haired young man dressed in simple animal skins, covered in blood. His arrogant face was extremely unfamiliar, but his eyes gave Shen Qian a strange sense of familiarity.
Before I could even get a closer look, the reflection in the pool returned to normal, as if it were all an illusion.
But given Shen Qian's current level of cultivation, how could he possibly be experiencing hallucinations?
Puzzled, Shen Qian cautiously scanned his surroundings but found nothing unusual or potentially dangerous.
He looked at the pool again, frowned and pondered for a while, but couldn't come up with any ideas, so he had to give up for the time being.
He looked up at the sky, which was dark yet tinged with gold.
This is already the world of the fifth heaven.
When entering the Fourth Heavenly Gate, Shen Qian killed six people.
He had expected it to cause some kind of reaction from the outside world, or even attract the intervention of powerful figures in the competition, but unexpectedly, nothing happened.
Since no one interfered, Shen Qian ignored it and, still concerned about Qu Bai's safety, began to focus on his journey.
It wasn't until he crossed the fourth heaven again and entered the world of the fifth heaven that Shen Qian finally realized something was wrong.
First of all, the population was sparse, since there were only a few thousand people before him when he entered the Fourth Heaven Gate.
Although finding Qu Bai on such a vast battlefield is like finding a needle in a haystack, at the level of the Mountain and Sea Realm, any fight will leave some traces, such as cracked terrain or a lingering burning sensation in the air.
Based on his pre-existing mental perception, and some battle traces that seemed to have been deliberately left by Qu Bai, he had a premonition that the direction he was following was correct.
However, from the fourth heaven all the way to the fifth heaven, Chen Qian still did not see Qu Bai, or anyone else on the eighth or ninth heaven ranking list.
Along the way, apart from the occasional rumbling noises in the distance and the occasional scattered pebbles, Chen Qian didn't even see any monsters.
The Sixth Heaven Gate has already opened, and judging from the current direction of our tracking, it's likely that the most elite group has already entered the Sixth Heaven.
What made Shen Qian feel uneasy was not the fact that he had fallen behind in the race, but the subtle changes in the world around him.
The Nine Heavens Battlefield, from the first to the third heaven, is not particularly special except for the wandering demonic beasts and some potentially forbidden areas.
If we really want to nitpick, the spiritual energy in the third heaven is far more concentrated than that in the first heaven.
Upon entering the Fourth Heaven World, the first thing is that the spiritual energy becomes chaotic and disordered. Strangely, this chaotic and disordered spiritual energy is still pure and can be directly absorbed by the body without the need for purification through cultivation techniques.
If one weren't in a hurry, one could feel an immense attraction from the sinking.
His fundamental elemental power is characterized by chaos.
If he could cultivate properly in the fourth heaven or the fifth heaven where the spiritual energy is almost vaporized, Shen Qian, who has just broken through the high martial artist limit and whose body is in a state of hunger, would definitely benefit greatly.
They might even leap several minor realms and reach the fourth level of high-level martial artist or higher.
Even now, after nearly an hour of non-stop travel, although Shen Qian didn't consciously control anything, with his ten-aperture body absorbing almost without any blind spots, Shen Qian felt that he had reached the edge of the second stage of high-level martial artist and could break through at any time.
Another point is that, in the mental feedback before sinking, one can perceive some faint auras from all directions.
Once a martial artist possesses a spiritual core, they formally reach the state of "unity of heaven and man," and will always have a sense of fortune and misfortune in the unseen realm.
Surprisingly, most of the feedback he received was positive.
This suggests that those might all be potential opportunities or benefits.
From the very beginning of the Nine Heavens Battle, Shen Qian discovered that the challenges of the Nine Heavens Battlefield were not only the competition between martial artists, but also the coexistence of opportunities and dangers.
