Wucheng, the second province in the Northwest, is the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association.
After passing through the checkpoint at the city gate, Shen Qian and his group flew directly to the airspace above this somewhat old-fashioned building.
They will enter the underground city from here, and then each will detour to different places.
Qu Bai and the others were initially very distressed by the enormous teleportation fee, which was at least dozens of times more expensive than a normal plane ticket. As for Old Man Hu, he simply couldn't afford it. However, after hearing that Shen Qian would personally cover the cost, they immediately had no objections.
With martial law in effect across the country today, even buying a plane ticket isn't easy, while a teleportation portal to the center of the earth that can instantly reach any location would undoubtedly be far more convenient.
They all knew Shen Qian was rich... After the Nine Heavens Battle, Shen Qian received a champion's reward of 80 million in cash. Adding to that the school's reward, the military warriors' reward, the Ministry of Education's token amount, and possibly an official statement from Shen Qian's hometown, his current net worth is definitely over 100 million.
Therefore, they don't feel too much psychological burden when they occasionally slay someone before they die.
Although the truth is that Shen Qian's net worth is far more exaggerated than they imagined, with assets of over 10 billion yuan, the daily fixed fund income exceeds three million yuan. In addition, there are some stock and annuity incomes, which makes Shen Qian himself not even know how much money he has now... because the numbers change every day after he wakes up.
In short, the cost of the teleportation array in the Earth's core could probably be earned back in the time it takes to take a nap before sinking, so he naturally wouldn't care.
Originally, the Great Sage, who was just an ordinary demon beast, was not qualified to enter the Earth's core, but this time, during his trip to the Heavenly Realm, he had a truly miraculous encounter.
The Ascension Order of the Monkey King contained a legacy passed down from a powerful ancestor of the Monkey King clan, which not only helped the Great Sage complete a second leap in his bloodline but also left behind an extraordinary suit of armor.
Now, according to the joint divine sense confirmation of Shen Qian and Cheng Qingqing, the Great Sage has completed a three-level leap, directly transforming from an S-level demon beast into an O-level demon beast, and his growth limit has also become the mid-stage of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Moreover, the ancient bloodline aura still lingers in the Great Sage's body. It is estimated that if he can fully digest it, the Great Sage may be able to reach the threshold of a K-level demon beast.
K-rank represents the pinnacle of monsters in the world.
Moving up further, we enter the realm of mythical creatures.
The ranking of monsters is based on the alphabet commonly used by humans, with a total of twenty-six levels. So far, Shen Qian has never seen a monster of level D or above. Level K is ranked eleventh, which is already considered a very high-level monster.
Even the divine dragon in the Heavenly Realm is probably only at the D-level in the classification of demonic beasts.
Perhaps only the legendary Zhulong can be considered a true A-level demon beast.
In short, although it lost the blessing of the Ascension Order, it still possessed the power of an Emperor Monkey equivalent to the early stage of the Mountain and Sea Realm under the enhancement of the battle armor. It could be legally registered and enter the underground city as a contracted monster before the sinking.
While everyone waited for Emperor Monkey to complete the formalities, Shen Qian secretly gave Cheng Qingqing a wink, and then went to the restroom first.
When Shen Qian came out, he indeed saw Cheng Qingqing waiting in the corridor.
At Shen Qian's prompting, the two went to a secluded spot at the end of the corridor. Cheng Qingqing suddenly rolled her eyes, covered her collar, and said warily, "Why are you deliberately avoiding Eighth Junior Sister? Let me tell you, I'm not that kind of woman... and strictly speaking, what we're doing is incest."
Before sinking in, Chen glanced at a certain part of Cheng Qingqing's body that was particularly prominent because she was clutching her clothes tightly, and his eyes couldn't help but stare blankly... Damn, how come I never noticed how big it was before?
But soon, Shen Qian realized what was going on, rolled his eyes, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have something important to ask you!"
Seeing that Shen Qian hadn't fallen for her trick, Cheng Qingqing chuckled again, leaned closer, crossed her arms, and wrapped them around Shen Qian's neck. She lowered her voice, biting her lip, and said, "So, Senior Sister misunderstood. You don't have any improper thoughts about me..."
"...Don't go too far."
The fragrance was like orchids, but Shen Qian's body was tense, and he gritted his teeth.
"Boring."
Cheng Qingqing released Shen Qian, feeling a vague disappointment, yet also inexplicably relieved. However, she quickly composed herself and sighed softly, "I may not know more than my senior brother."
"You know what I'm going to ask?" Shen Qian's gaze sharpened.
"I guess so."
Cheng Qingqing shrugged. "Ever since you were possessed by the Heavenly Emperor, I've sensed that you've been preoccupied, and you must think I know something."
He nodded slightly.
After all, it was the first time he felt he was almost able to unlock the secrets of the system. The Heavenly Emperor gave him some answers, but also left him with deeper confusion.
Moreover, on his way from Kunlun Mountain to Wucheng, Shen Qian suddenly remembered something, something he had overlooked during his conversation with Ding Yi.
The Law of Life!
Based on the limitations of the laws of life that Shen Qian had learned in the past, there is actually no such thing as a soul being reborn by borrowing another body, because only one's own unique spiritual body can perfectly fit into each physical body.
When I first learned about this before the sinking, I was briefly horrified.
Because the system can perfectly control his physical body, even more so than he can control it himself.
So Ding lied to him.
If the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden wanted to be reborn as a human, it would be impossible for her to inhabit a completely new body. The fact that she could control Ding Yi's body can only mean that the two of their consciousnesses have shown signs of merging.
Shen Qian didn't know how to resolve this matter for the time being, so he could only put it aside for now. Fortunately, according to the above laws, Ding Yi could not be completely replaced by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, which made Shen Qian feel a little more at ease.
