This means that he has reached the pinnacle of weapon crafting, and can rival the Golden Immortal level of kings and marquises solely through weapon crafting.
"Ha, otherwise, how could he be worthy of being called the head of the nine kings?"
Ling Tianhou seemed happy to say a few more words, "Although his talent in martial arts is also extremely terrifying, the other eight kings are no worse than him, yet they are still completely suppressed by him, which is due to his enhancement in weapon crafting."
"You should know that the Prince of Jiangling was a true commoner with no background whatsoever. When he broke through to become a martial artist, he only opened three apertures. In this respect, he was far inferior to the other eight princes. Do you know how he did it?"
"How is it?" Shen Qian asked subconsciously, engrossed in listening.
"He forged his body into the most powerful stellar weapon in the world, even surpassing the ordinary nine orifices, perhaps even nine and a half orifices? Only in this way could he simultaneously contain the eight restrictions of physical body, the eight restrictions of mental power, and the eight restrictions of primordial power, thus gaining combat power comparable to that of an emperor after breaking through to the King level..."
Hearing Ling Tianhou's story, Shen Qian was completely dumbfounded.
Is this another way to do it?
If you are born with a deficiency, can you make up for it later in life?
Shen Qian felt as if a new world had been opened up for him, and he realized that a side job was far more than just an embellishment.
He had been wondering how Jiangling Wang could stand out from the crowd, given the Ninth Prince's talent and ability to reach such heights. Now all his questions were answered.
Then, Chen Qian felt a wave of shame. Although he had also earned the title of "Heavenly Mandate Grand Alchemist," compared to the King of Jiangling, his application of the skill was far too crude. He had merely created a king's clone, and his combat strength was not outstanding among kings...
If he can escape this calamity, he must thoroughly study the "Compendium of Materia Medica" again, as the art of alchemy may offer him far more help than just this.
"With such a foundation, why doesn't Prince Jiangling try to break through the Nine Forbidden Zones?" Suppressing his various thoughts, Chen Qian couldn't help but ask again.
"Nine Forbidden Zones... Ha, that's the theoretical limit of the Mountain and Sea Realm. It's not that easy to break through. Even with his ultimate body that he's honed to perfection, forcibly taking that step would only result in collapse. To bear the Nine Forbidden Zones at their peak is simply impossible for the human race with its life strength."
Ling Tianhou scoffed, "Jiang Huan was able to do it by exploiting some loopholes in the rules and honing his skills over a long period of time. But precisely because of this, his chances of breaking through to the King or Marquis level are destined to be a long way off."
As Shen Qian digested the information in Ling Tianhou's words, he began to make some connections.
It is also related to the limitations of human talent... Does that mean that only a body with ten orifices can possibly accommodate the perfection of the nine forbidden arts?
Unbeknownst to him, he was back on the right path?
"So the Prince of Jiangling wasn't an ancient person?" Shen Qian put aside his chaotic thoughts and asked a question that had long been on his mind.
“No,” Ling Tianhou said with certainty. “Among the nine kings, not many are from the modern era, but King Jiangling truly rose to prominence during the spiritual energy revival.”
As expected...
Shen Qian frowned deeply, because the Prince of Jiangling also liked to wear white. So in Shen Qian's early imagination, the Prince of Jiangling might also be the man in white, the master of the Great Elder Gao, or the ancient demon king...
But at this point, he had to overturn this idea.
Shen Qian then asked some more questions, but Ling Tianhou no longer answered them all. He just stared at Shen Qian with a smile until Shen Qian was startled. In the short time they talked, the distance between the two had been reduced considerably.
After all, Shen Qian would occasionally slow down unconsciously due to extreme astonishment and shock, but Ling Tianhou never stopped.
Damn, is this guy doing this on purpose?
Shen Qian cursed the insidious nature of the situation in his heart, and at the same time became anxious again.
After much thought, he realized that no matter where he escaped the river of time, Ling Tianhou would inevitably follow. To break this deadlock, relying solely on himself was clearly impossible. The best solution was to find a powerful ally.
Shen Qian knew quite a few top experts, but the problem was that accurately locating them in the long river of time remained a major challenge.
For example, if Shen Qian wants to find his teacher, he first needs to confirm that the Great Elder Gao must exist in the era he went to. Secondly, he needs to ensure that the Great Elder Gao's cultivation level is sufficient to rival Ling Tianhou. Most importantly, according to Shen Qian's experience, the location he enters from the River of Time is very likely to be random in the current era.
His last entry into the ancient world happened to land near Python Mountain, which was undoubtedly due to the white-robed man's prior arrangements, not a coincidence.
Thinking of Python Mountain, Shen Qian also thought of Brother Snake. He wondered what happened to it after it broke free from the shackles of enlightenment...
As Shen Qian was thinking this, a mysterious feeling suddenly arose in his heart. He subconsciously turned his head to look and saw a vortex of moderate size suddenly appear in front of him.
Upon seeing the vortex, Shen Qian was initially taken aback, but then felt a surge of joy.
When he returned from ancient times, he relied on the vortex left by the King of Jiangling. In other words, this was the "anchor" in the river of time.
Although he didn't know who left the whirlpool, Shen Qian still clung to it like a drowning man grasping at a straw, swimming towards the whirlpool with all his might.
At the same time, Ling Tianhou also noticed the existence of the vortex. Seeing Shen Qian's actions, he was slightly taken aback and then silently moved towards the vortex.
Shen Qian exerted all his strength, and whether it was due to the presence of the vortex or Shen Qian's psychological effect, his speed suddenly increased slightly, and he finally arrived before Ling Tianhou touched the vortex.
