"Minister, what exactly is Xuehai?"
Hearing Wu Wei's serious words, Shen Qian had no choice but to reassess his understanding of the sea of knowledge.
Based on his previous impressions before the sinking, Liu Changqing already possessed a "literary rank" before the formation of the Sea of Learning, so this Sea of Learning should not be a particularly dangerous place.
If even the old Liu could succeed when he was weak, then Shen Qian would be almost certain to succeed, if not a piece of cake.
But Wu Wei couldn't let things slip by without reason, which meant that the sea of knowledge was probably not as simple as he imagined.
"The Sea of Learning was actually the earliest secret realm established by human warriors, long before the Tower of Myriad Manifestations and long before the revival of spiritual energy. If we really want to trace it back, it was probably when the human race had just migrated to the 'Original Land'."
With a wave of his hand, Wu Wei sent images flashing through the air. These were records of the "Sea of Learning" on a stone slab buried deep underground, written in ancient script.
"Some scholars say that the prototype of the Sea of Learning was one of the secret realms left behind by the goddess Nuwa during the chaotic period. Others say that the Sea of Learning was established by the earliest group of top kings and nobles of the human race. However, for some reason, it was accidentally infused with a wisp of chaotic power, which caused various mutations..."
Wu Wei explained, "But no matter what, over the millennia, the Sea of Learning has long been beyond the control of human powerhouses. We can only forcibly open a passage to it within a certain period based on the secret records left by our ancestors."
"The power of chaos?"
Shen Qian was taken aback. He never expected that the Sea of Learning would contain such a legendary supreme power. He had been a little surprised when he first heard that the Sea of Learning was a secret realm that humans could not control, but now it made sense.
After all, even powerful emperors have not comprehended the mysteries of chaos.
Suddenly, a thought struck Shen Qian: "Could it be that the wisp of chaotic power that the Prince of Jiangling accidentally came into contact with..."
"That's right, it's in the sea of learning."
Wu Wei nodded and then cautioned, "What we are discussing now is almost the highest level of human secrets, and it must never be revealed to outsiders."
Shen Qian solemnly agreed. The reason why all races coveted Earth, where the human race lived, was to find the "key" to chaos. If they learned that the power of chaos was hidden in the Sea of Knowledge, they would surely go mad.
Of course, Shen Qian estimated that such a secret had already been leaked, it just depended on how many powerful foreign races knew about it.
For example, the defector, Marquis Tuodong, must have known the secrets of the Sea of Learning at his level. If he was determined to cooperate with the Wu Clan, he would probably have already informed them of these secrets.
"Although the Sea of Learning has in fact broken away from the control of the human race, fortunately we can still enter it to obtain benefits. Normally, the Sea of Learning can be opened once every three to five years. Except for kings and marquises who will be rejected, everyone else can enter regardless of their cultivation level, even ordinary people."
Wu Wei continued, "Of course, ordinary people are unlikely to survive in it, so the Sea of Learning is only open to martial artists in the range of intermediate martial artists to those in the Mountain and Sea realms."
"Can a martial artist who has entered before enter again?" Shen Qian asked.
"That won't work either; it will also be rejected by the academic community."
Wu Wei shook his head and said, "But even if they can get in, they won't have any advantage. The sea of knowledge is unpredictable, and the experience we've accumulated before will be almost useless. Over the years, we've only summarized some basic rules."
"What exactly does the Sea of Learning look like?"
Shen Qian couldn't wait to ask the next question.
When he heard that the power of chaos was hidden in the sea of knowledge, Shen Qian became genuinely interested.
"There are a total of 'Nine Seas' in the sea of learning."
Wu Wei didn't keep them in suspense any longer, and with another wave of his hand, summoned some fragmented images.
"Their positions correspond to the Nine Palaces in astronomy, namely the Qian Sea, Kan Sea, Gen Sea, Zhen Sea, Zhong Sea, Xun Sea, Li Sea, Kun Sea, and Dui Sea."
"These nine seas each have their own unique characteristics, hence they have some other names. For example, the Li Sea is also known as the Fire Sea, as legend has it that it hides several kinds of rare and exotic fires..."
"Apart from the 'Central Sea,' which may only appear once every few hundred or thousand years, the danger levels of other sea areas are not much different. You just need to remember their basic information and then adapt to the situation."
What's so special about this 'Zhonghai'?
Upon hearing this, Shen Qian couldn't help but ask in surprise.
“It was in the ‘Central Sea’ that Prince Jiangling entered, and it was there that he accidentally captured that wisp of chaotic power. Unfortunately, Prince Jiangling did not stay there for long. We know very little about the ‘Central Sea’.”
Wu Wei shook his head and said, "At present, all we know is that its environment is unpredictable, and in terms of danger, it is the most dangerous of the Nine Seas. You may even encounter chaotic creatures and the remains of ancient gods in it. Even with the extraordinary talent of King Jiangling, he almost perished there."

"Since the Prince of Jiangling entered, the 'Zhonghai' has not appeared for more than two hundred years."
"So, the chances of me encountering 'Zhonghai' this time are slim?" Shen Qian nodded slightly, holding back from making any rash statements.
Although he was very interested in the power of chaos, when he heard that even the King of Jiangling had almost died in it, Shen Qian felt that his curiosity was not so strong anymore.
I just don't know where the literary rank left by the White Emperor has been lost. Could it be in Zhonghai...?
"The Sea of Learning is a very mysterious place. It exists between reality and illusion. To this day, we still do not know where its true coordinates are. Top kings have once wandered the universe to explore it, but they have found nothing. We can only find its existence each time it is opened."
