"One day, seven of the big trees collapsed, which gave the other trees an opportunity. But no matter how they grew, they were shocked to find that they still could not grow into new towering trees."
Seeing that Chen Qian's thoughts were shifting one after another, as if he were lost in some kind of memory, Wu Wei couldn't help but smile meaningfully and say, "It seems you know something."
There was nothing to hide, and Shen Qian immediately repeated Luo Shenbo's original words.
"Hmm... Lord Luoshen's analogy is quite apt."
Upon hearing this, Wu Wei was taken aback, then slowly nodded, "Yes, the road is blocked, and everyone has different ideas, which has led to differences in ideology."
"This is not a threat from external enemies, but rather a matter concerning the most fundamental interests of each individual, which even I cannot reconcile."
Hearing Wu Wei's sigh, Shen Qian could understand.
For martial artists, having their path cut off is far more terrifying than death.
Especially when one reaches the level of a king or noble, power and money are readily available, but neither can compare to the allure of the limits of martial arts.
"Is there really no other way besides replicating the path of the Nine Kings?" Shen Qianqi asked.
"But that's not necessarily true."
Wu Wei's gaze suddenly fell on one person, "That... might be a road to heaven."
Shen Qian followed Wu Wei's gaze and saw a young man in black standing in the clouds, carrying a gun. It was Jiang Huan, who was waiting for Shen Qian under some tacit understanding.
"The pinnacle?"
Shen Qian suddenly understood the significance of Wu Wei bringing up this topic with him.
Whether it's a clash of ideologies or anything else, as long as it involves kings and nobles, it's not something that Chen Qian can participate in at this stage. Wu Wei just wanted to plant a seed in his heart in advance.
Shen Qian was simply curious about what path Wu Wei had taken.
Speaking of Wu Wei, he is quite unique among the kings and nobles. Like the Heavenly Swordsman, he does not have a title. However, the Heavenly Swordsman refused the blessing of the Heavenly Dao out of disdain, but Wu Wei does not know why.
"Let's end our conversation here," Wu Wei said with his hands behind his back. "I won't take up any more of your time catching up with your senior brother."
Wu Wei didn't know that Shen Qian and Jiang Huan were meeting for the first time, which is why he used the word "catching up." Shen Qian touched his nose and didn't say anything.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Just before leaving, Wu Wei seemed to suddenly remember something. He patted his head and turned around, saying, "You ended up with nearly 70,000 Nine Heavens Tokens, right?"
"A little over sixty-seven thousand..."
Shen Qian scratched his head, wondering why Wu Wei had suddenly brought this up.
"In the temporary exchange vault, even the best treasures only require a few thousand Nine Heavens Tokens to exchange..."
"Only a few thousand?" Shen Qian frowned upon hearing this.
"What kind of word is that? What do you mean by 'talent'?" Wu Wei's eyes widened. "Who knew beforehand that someone could get their hands on tens of thousands of Nine Heavens Tokens? I never imagined anyone could exchange for a treasure with five thousand Nine Heavens Tokens..."
"So what do we do now?"
Shen Qian wasn't flustered. He knew that Wu Wei must have other ideas since he specifically mentioned it.
"Since you have the ability to obtain so many Nine Heavens Tokens, you don't need to worry about the issue of exchanging them for the treasure vault; I will take care of it."
Wu Wei waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to exchange it when you get back. Wait two or three days before logging into the Martial Arts Department's website."
After Shen Qian nodded in agreement, Wu Wei left. Although the Nine Heavens War was over, the aftermath could not be resolved with just a few words from Ma Gongzuo. Wu Wei estimated that he would still have a lot to do.
At this moment, Shen Qian moved and arrived in front of Jiang Huan, who had been waiting for a long time.
Jiang Huan turned around, and their eyes met. A smile appeared on Jiang Huan's lips.
"Junior brother, that punch... was not bad."
"Senior Brother..."
The look in Chen Qian's eyes was even more complex.
The reason for the complexity is simple: the Jiang Huan in front of him is the same Nu Kan that Shen Qian met when he returned to the Bronze Ancient Palace!
Yes, the legendary senior brother before the sinking was actually the same person as the first genius of ancient times.
When Shen Qian saw Jiang Huan appear, a thought flashed through his mind: if you take the character "奴" (nu) and "坎" (kan) apart and put them back together, wouldn't that be the character "欢" (huan)?
He wanted an explanation.
Jiang Huan seemed to see through his thoughts and waved her hand, saying, "I know you may have many questions, but I can't answer them."
"Why?" Shen Qian asked, puzzled.
"Because I was a person in deep sleep, I don't know how many years I slept before my teacher woke me up."
Jiang Huan said slowly.
"Slumber?" Shen Qian never expected this answer. He asked in astonishment, "What do you mean?"
“You exist in my fragmented memories, but I went to that hall at the time because, strictly speaking, I was asked to do so.”
Jiang Huan pondered for a moment.
"The man in white?"
Upon hearing "on someone's behalf," Shen Qian's sensitive heart was touched once again, and he blurted out his own words.
“I don’t remember.” Jiang Huan shook her head. “My memory is fragmented, only slightly better than Eighth Sister’s.”
"Eighth Senior Sister?"
Although Jiang Huan said nothing, Shen Qian still gleaned a lot of information.
Jiang Huan and Ji Ruoshui are undoubtedly ancient people. They both experienced some kind of memory loss. Most importantly, they are each other's senior brothers and sisters.
In other words, Lao Gao is the core of it all.
"So the teacher must know something, right?" Shen Qian asked.
"A teacher... knows everything, but he may not tell you."
