From the eldest senior brother to the seventh senior brother whom they had never met, their existence was paving the way for their junior brother, who was bound to appear.
"teacher……"
Having grasped the truth, Shen Qian felt a mix of emotions, unable to describe what he was feeling.
The Gao family Gao Zhe he encountered in ancient times claimed to be from the lineage of "Guardians of the Way." This surname alone made Shen Qian's thoughts wander. Now, Shen Qian can finally confirm that even if his teacher is not the Gao family's ancestor "Qi," he must have some kind of connection with the Guardians of the Way Gao family.
Marquis Gao Wenyuan of Jingcheng was also one of his protectors before he drowned.
"Take it."
Seeing that Shen Qian's eyes were beginning to focus again, Jiang Huan handed him a jade slip.
Startled from his reverie, Chen Qian took the jade slip with a slightly bewildered expression.
“I should have given it to you when I reached the ‘Peak’, but the time was not right, and you had only just entered the Mountain and Sea Realm at that time. I did not expect you to leave so quickly.”
Jiang Huan smiled faintly.
Shen Qian subconsciously immersed himself in the jade slip. After just a cursory glance, he couldn't help but gasp, already knowing the immense value of this small jade slip in his hand.
There are no extraordinary abilities contained within; it merely records some insights gained during the process of breaking through taboos, as well as the detours taken by the person who recorded them.
Shen Qian keenly realized that this jade slip and the jade slip that Wu Wei had given him complemented each other, forming the fastest method to break through the taboos. Except for the eighth and ninth taboos of spiritual power and the seventh and ninth taboos of Yuan power, which were still in the conjecture stage, there were more than one recorded examples of all the others.
He "saw" how Jiang Huan gradually explored the secrets of the physical body by using the power of the Extreme Realm, and finally broke through that great barrier with a narrow escape from death, pushing the physical body into the Nine Forbidden Domains. He also "saw" how his fourth senior brother, Wu Jun, entered countless dangerous places in pursuit of the limit of Yuan Power, and cleverly used the transformation between life and death to put himself in a life-or-death situation when he was on the verge of death...
This jade slip cannot allow Shen Qian to enter the Nine Forbidden Zones without any obstacles, but it can help him avoid countless detours and save him a lot of time.
In this respect alone, his importance before sinking far surpasses that of the star-shaped weapon "Tianming".
"Senior Brother, does the Nine Forbidden Body equate to immortality?"
The occasion was inappropriate, so Shen Qian only glanced at the jade slip briefly before putting it away, but still asked out of curiosity.
"The physical strength is equivalent to that of a star-level weapon. Even if it is destroyed, it can be 'reborn with blood' in an instant... But more important is the ultimate control over power. This is the capital that allows me to fight against kings and nobles."
Jiang Huan nodded and answered simply.
Shen Qian was startled, recalling Jiang Huan's extremely restrained attack just now, and nodded in understanding.
No wonder the senior brother could throw his spear so easily without worrying about losing his weapon and his combat power declining. It turns out that his physical strength has surpassed that of his SSS-level spear.
It seems the spear was just a smokescreen; if a king or nobleman were to take advantage of the situation and get close, they would only pay a greater price.
At the same time, Shen Qian was also somewhat moved. This should also be Jiang Huan's hidden trump card. After all, others had no idea what the Nine Forbidden Restrictions on the Physical Body meant, but he told him so casually.
Just as he was about to ask another question, a huge uproar suddenly rang in his ears. Shen Qian then remembered that his fourth senior brother, Wu Jun, was at a critical stage in breaking through to the King level, and he quickly looked up.
When Shen Qian saw everything above the square, he couldn't help but be stunned.
In the short moment that Shen Qian was lost in thought, the weather above Wu Jun's head had changed dramatically once again.
Dao Hai had long since disappeared, leaving only a vast and dazzling starry sky above Wu Jun. When Shen Qian looked up, he saw a brilliant star field shining in the depths of the starry sky, with countless star rays refracting and forming a black and white crown above Wu Jun's head.
"It's done!"
Just as Shen Qian was feeling a surge of joy upon seeing the appearance of the Crown of Kings, the changes in the starry sky were far from over.
A phantom staircase, seemingly paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, stretched out from beneath the Witch King's feet, leading all the way to the edge of the star field. The Witch King, wearing a black and white crown, stepped onto the staircase almost the instant it formed.
That's the real reason for the uproar.
Chen Qian was not the only one present who knew the entire process of a king's breakthrough. Normally, once the crown of a king was forged, the breakthrough would be declared over.
But the Wizard King was clearly not satisfied with this.
"He's going to open the Heavenly Gate directly!"
Those powerful figures from the Mountain and Sea Realms who had witnessed the breakthrough of a King or Marquis exclaimed in astonishment.
Open the Heavenly Gate!
Shen Qian was also startled and realized what was happening.
Among the kings and nobles, there are always some special individuals who, upon breaking through, step into a higher realm in one fell swoop, such as Ling Tianhou, the number one genius among the kings and nobles.
Legend has it that when he entered the ranks of kings and nobles, the heavens and earth darkened, the Milky Way was reversed, and he opened the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Gate in one fell swoop, achieving the title of "Lingtian" (Soaring to the Heavens), which shocked the world and amazed countless powerful figures who witnessed the ceremony.
And now, the Witch King is repeating this process.
Whether it was the Duke of Yanshan and Marquis Zhaoyuan who were hostile to the Witch King, or the Marquis of Qingcheng and Marquis Yidao who remained neutral, everyone present became focused at this moment, their eyes fixed on the man standing above the starry river.
His pale face and swaying body, at this moment, exuded an indescribable charm, becoming infinitely towering.
Rumble!
The vast galaxy also reacted strangely to the Witch King's "arrogant" actions.
The starlight grew ever brighter, the distant rays of light intertwining and reflecting around the Witch King, like fireworks bursting from the stars, incomparably beautiful. And within those blooming lights, countless white bones could be vaguely seen howling in agony, rolling and struggling in the waves of blood, stretching out withered hands as if trying to drag the Witch King down from his altar.
