Knowing the truth, Shen Qian felt a heavy weight in his heart, especially since it was Ding Yi's mother... This made Shen Qian swallow back many of the curses he wanted to say.
Ding Yi seemed to understand something and fell into a long silence.
She walked slowly to the white jade gate and asked in a strained voice, "Where does this 'gate' lead?"
"overseas."
He took a deep breath and uttered two words, barely managing to regain his composure.
The Heavenly Realm has more than one "gate". In addition to the one through Jiang Zhongjun, there is also a well-preserved and hidden "gate" in Kunlun Mountain. However, Jiang Chengye and his group have been trying to repair this "gate" that leads to overseas.
In addition, the recent defection of prison guards overseas has made overseas areas a lawless land that is difficult for human powerhouses to control. All of this must not be a coincidence.
Was it all orchestrated by the witch clan hidden behind the scenes?
While the exact circumstances remain unclear, a profound conspiracy is sensed within the situation.
Unfortunately, the skill level is still not enough...
Otherwise, before sinking, there would be no need for much thought; one could simply fight their way out through this "door," and the truth would naturally come to light.
But without knowing what is being hidden overseas, such behavior is tantamount to suicide.
This is also why Jiang Chengye wasn't worried at all that Shen Qian would chase after him.
“Sink forward, look.”
Ding Yi's gaze suddenly sharpened, as if he had discovered something by the "door".
Shen Qian walked over and saw some remaining ice shards in Ding Yi's fair palm.
Ice shards...
He raised an eyebrow.
He had just scorched this area with his fire, but the fact that these ice shards could still barely maintain their shape under the high temperature was enough to illustrate the point.
The only place in the Heavenly Realm that Shen Qian had ever seen ice before was when he last entered the Heavenly Realm, where the mythical creatures and terrifying beings that did not resemble humans were frozen inside.
At this moment, Shen Qian suddenly realized that since the Heavenly Realm had been revived, why did he only see the dragon pulling the coffin?
The Heavenly Realm has more to offer than just these...
Before he went to the underworld, he saw the Kui Niu, a large red bird resembling a phoenix, and a tall humanoid creature with the marks of the four divine beasts on its body...
"Did those terrifying beings leave the Heavenly Realm and enter overseas through this 'gate'?"
Shen's expression turned solemn. Suddenly, he vaguely understood why the demoness Zhongli had gone to such great lengths to repair this "door".
Only this "door" is outside the monitoring of the human race's powerful members.
"The 'Investiture of the Gods' that I took from Jiang Chengye was incomplete, so besides the core component, the Nine Heavens List, there are other fragments of the Investiture of the Gods..."
He murmured before sinking down.
Besides the demoness Zhongli, Lin Qiaoyin, and Jiang Chengye, there are other high-ranking scavengers who used other fragments of the Investiture of the Gods to control those mythical creatures and secretly sent them to Earth...
This is the only explanation that Chen Qian can think of right now.
From the perspective of the scavengers, sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of scavengers to complete a blood sacrifice in exchange for this top-level power is a completely worthwhile thing.
"We should leave."
After searching the surroundings again and confirming that there was nothing of value, Chen Qian let out a soft breath.
Ding nodded, but her gaze remained fixed on the "door".
“Overseas…we will go. No matter what the truth is, I will find it out with you, but not now.”
Shen Qian roughly knew what Ding Yi was thinking, and he was really afraid that the other party would impulsively step into that "door", so he quickly spoke up.
"good."
Ding Yi finally turned around and nodded in response.
...
Before the Heavenly Realm completely collapsed, Shen Qian led Ding Yi to find the unique mark left by his second senior sister and used his spiritual power to sense the hidden "door".
"It seems to be the aura of the old master. Was this 'door' sealed by the master himself?"
As he passed through the "door," Shen Qian sensed a familiar aura, and a corresponding guess flashed through his mind.
But he quickly came to terms with it. Only his eighth senior sister knew about this "door" before, and she was brought back from Kunlun Mountain by their teacher. So it was only natural that he would be in charge of this "door".
After a moment of spatial distortion, a raging blizzard swept in, and I breathed in that cold yet familiar air again. I looked up to confirm that I was back on Earth.
He looked around. The vast and majestic mountain range stretched across the land, with thick snow covering the horizon. Every now and then, the wind would whip up clouds of silvery white snow. This was the Kunlun Mountains, located in the forbidden zone.
Below, a group of figures were waiting in a sheltered spot; it was Cheng Qingqing and her companions who had come out earlier.
Shen Qian didn't rush to join them, but glanced at Ding Yi beside him, hesitating to speak.
Ding Yi seemed to know what Shen Qian wanted to say, and revealed a serene smile, "You want to ask about the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden?"
Seeing that Ding Yi didn't shy away from the topic, Shen Qian's anxiety immediately subsided.
Wang Shuo has clearly lost himself because of Erlang Shen's possession, and he worries that Ding Yi will repeat the same mistake.
"My relationship with her is not like that of Wang Shuo and Erlang Zhenjun."
Ding Yi shook his head and said a few more words, which was unusual for him. "Erlang Zhenjun was reborn by borrowing a body and is completely bound to Wang Shuo, but Xuan Nu only borrowed my sea of consciousness to nourish her soul. She can leave my body at any time... I have asked the principal for help with this matter. The Alchemy Research Institute affiliated with Beiwu is helping her to create a suitable body, but it may take a long time."
"I see, then I'm relieved."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
