“She doesn’t know anything else, but she once asked the Heavenly Emperor, who said that as long as you don’t enter the vanished ‘sea,’ there shouldn’t be any problems.” Ding Yi shook his head.
"The vanished 'sea'?"
He murmured repeatedly before sinking in, "Does it refer to that rare 'Central Sea'?"
But Ding Yi shook his head again, indicating that even the Heavenly Emperor was reluctant to discuss this matter, and that was all the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden knew.
Seeing Shen Qian lost in thought, Ding Qi stood up and hugged him, gently pressing his head against his back, and whispered, "Shen Qian, you need to be careful about more than just 'the Sea of Learning' itself."
"What do you mean?" Shen Qian was taken aback.
"As far as I know, although the threshold for the Sea of Learning is not high, many powerful experts from the Mountain and Sea realms will deliberately delay their entry into the Sea of Learning in order to obtain the best literary rank. In other words, the number of top-level experts from the Mountain and Sea realms who enter the Sea of Learning is not small."
Ding Yi buried his head in Chen Qian's neck and mumbled.
Shen Qian nodded silently; he had already heard about this before.
In the past few months, besides honing his cultivation and pursuing higher forbidden realms, Chen Qian has also been intentionally gathering relevant information.
Indeed, many martial artists who can endure loneliness choose to enter the "Sea of Learning" when they reach the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm. At this time, their spiritual power has reached the peak before the King and Marquis realm, and their chances of success are greater.
Because the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden already held a "literary rank," Ding Yi did not enter the "sea of learning" this time, thus putting aside his previous worries.

...
Military planes flew through the dark clouds high in the sky. Chen Qian sat in the back row, stroking an ancient-looking jade slip in his hand, while Jiang Xuan leaned against the window, staring blankly at the scenery outside.
At this moment, the two were on their way to Jingcheng.
Shen Qian planned to spend the last month in Jingcheng, visit his parents, and also return to the Tower of Babel... He still remembered his fourth senior brother's words: in that towering and desolate ancient tower, there was a beautiful woman waiting for him.
Thinking about how I've made up for many regrets during my recent free time, I feel much more at ease now.
...It is possible that Tantai Qin has disappeared without a trace, or that she is deliberately avoiding Shen Qian. Since returning from the Heavenly Realm, Shen Qian has never seen her again.
Putting aside his romantic thoughts, Chen Qian focused his attention back on the jade slip in his hand.
After months of arduous training, he has undergone a complete transformation, gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation of the forbidden realm. Now, he faces a difficult choice.
