Just as Tantai Qin was about to speak, she abruptly closed her mouth, because a martial arts expert had suddenly appeared in mid-air in the distance, waving at Chen Qian.
With his mind in turmoil, Shen Qian did not linger and flew towards the martial arts expert.
Tantai Qin stared at Shen Qian's retreating figure. Her deep eyes seemed calm and still, but if one looked deeper, ripples could still be seen. However, she ultimately said nothing and disappeared silently from the spot with a single movement.
"Director He, is there something you need?"
Shen Qian recognized the Martial Arts Department Director as Wu Wei's confidant, barely suppressing the negative emotions brought on by the Tantai Qin incident, and smiled.
"The minister asked me to give this to you."
Director He handed a handbook to Shen Qian and said telepathically, "This is part of the list of participants in the 'Sea of Learning' training, along with some recent information. Perhaps... you will find it useful."
Shen Qian subconsciously took it, and with a casual glance, he saw hundreds of names. He was unfamiliar with most of them, but he recognized a few.
For example, Wang Shuo.
Upon seeing Wang Shuo's information, Shen Qian's somewhat muddled mind cleared up, and he immediately understood what kind of list it was.
This is a list that Wu Wei, in his capacity as minister, helped him compile; it's a list of people he needs to be particularly wary of.
Perhaps this is just Wu Wei's rough guess, but for Shen Qian, the value of this list is immeasurable.
This is tantamount to bringing some of his enemies, who were originally hiding in the shadows, into the open ahead of time.
Shen Qian glanced around briefly, his expression also extremely solemn.
Without exception, every single one of these hundreds of people is at the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm!
Including Wang Shuo, whom we haven't seen in a long time...
Since returning from the Heavenly Realm, Wang Shuo has become extremely low-key, and Shen Qian hasn't heard the other party's name for a long time.
If he truly acquired such power without anyone noticing, it's highly likely that Erlang Shen's soul has recovered considerably.
"Please thank the minister for me." Shen Qian didn't have time to look at the list carefully at the moment, and nodded as he put it away.
Director He gave further instructions that the list should not be leaked before leaving.
Shen Qian didn't know how he got through the following time. He seemed to be in a daze. Shen Qian himself was a little puzzled. This was probably what was called heartbreak.
When he finally came to his senses, he realized that the sky was now filled with kings and nobles, the heavens and earth had begun to tremble slightly, and everyone had a solemn expression.
"Before we begin, the 'Sea of Learning' is about to open. Hold your breath and concentrate!"
Those around could see that Shen Qian was absent-minded. The others were somewhat puzzled, but Li Muyi, who was relatively perceptive, vaguely guessed what was going on. She had mixed feelings, but she still reminded him.
Is it about to start...?
Shen Qian was no ordinary person after all. After exhaling the turbid air in his heart, he quickly became focused.
"...The temporary passage to the 'Sea of Learning' can last for ten days. When the passage is about to close, the marks on your bodies will give you a warning. Remember to activate the marks before the passage closes completely, otherwise you may never be able to get out again."
Wu Wei, who was in mid-air, had been speaking for quite a while, but when Chen Qian looked up, he only heard the end of his speech.
However, the martial arts club had already given him all the information about "the Sea of Learning" without reservation, so whether he listened to these precautions or not made no difference.
After Wu Wei finished speaking, he solemnly took out a small bronze cauldron with an ancient shape from his bosom. Shen Qian guessed that it might be the key to trigger the resonance of the "Sea of Learning" in order to forcibly open the entrance to the "Sea of Learning", or the array hub.
Wu Wei tossed the small cauldron high into the air. At the same time, the eight kings and marquises standing around him made their move. The sky disappeared, stars shone, and the power of the stars gathered and poured into the small cauldron.
The small cauldron swelled in the wind and grew to a height of a thousand feet in the blink of an eye. It spun endlessly in the sky, and a hazy light, like flowing water, appeared in the upward-facing mouth of the cauldron, as if it were about to overflow.
"This should be the Qiankun Cauldron, one of the Nine Cauldrons. The Qiankun Cauldron is said to be able to hold anything. What is contained in the cauldron is probably the so-called ethereal 'knowledge'. Only by offering this method to the 'Sea of Learning' can one briefly communicate with the Sea of Learning."
Standing next to Shen Qian, Taishi Wuwei was a veteran of the Mountain and Sea series, with extraordinary knowledge. Looking at the giant cauldron, he couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Qian, standing to the side, shuddered. Connecting this with what Wu Wei had said earlier, he finally understood the underlying principle.
The "Sea of Learning" has long been out of human control. It turns out that the way to forcibly open the passage was to sacrifice "knowledge" to it. No wonder the knowledge of the "Sea of Learning" encompasses both ancient and modern times, which should also be one of its ways of replenishment.
Shen Qian estimated that it would take a considerable amount of time for the Qiankun Cauldron to be filled with "knowledge" once.
Meanwhile, Shen Qian noticed that the positions of the nine kings and nobles, led by Wu Wei, corresponded to the Nine Palaces, which was similar to the legend of the "Sea of Learning." Besides the Qiankun Cauldron, the alliance of the nine kings and nobles should also be another condition for the opening of the "Sea of Learning."
"No wonder it can only be opened once every three to five years, it's really troublesome..."
Rumble!
At this moment, the array in the sky was coming to an end, and the void cracked, revealing a gap that shimmered with mysterious starlight. The colorful, hazy light overflowing from the Qiankun Cauldron seemed to be drawn towards that gap.
When all the "knowledge" within the Qiankun Cauldron was absorbed, as if it had eaten its fill, a white jade bridge extended out from the opening and landed directly on the riverbank.
"This is the passage to the 'Sea of Learning'. Everyone will activate their marks in turn and enter with their souls to reach the 'Sea of Learning'!"
