"But how can you achieve the desired effect by doing this?" Tantai Qin looked deeply at Shen Qian. "You know the outcome is inevitable, and you want to solve the problem once and for all, to make them give up their inappropriate thoughts, but many people will still die."
“But at least… I can choose a way that I can accept.” Shen Qian smiled. “Let these demons and monsters come rushing at us.”
Tantai Qin frowned in confusion, but before she could ask, Shen Qian had already waved his hand and taken out all the "literary positions" he had been carrying.
Dozens of clusters of light, varying in brightness, shimmered in the air, floating and sinking.
“You also have a ‘literary rank’, right? Give it to me first.”
He asked before sinking in.
Tantai Qin didn't ask any further questions. With a wave of her hand, seven orbs of light scattered out.
"There's even a six-star literary rank..."
Shen Qian glanced at Tantai Qin in amazement. Although the number was not large, all seven of their literary positions were above the seven-star level, making them far superior in quality to those Shen Qian had collected.
He then turned to Sun Zuo and the others who had arrived nearby, saying, "Give me your useless 'civil service positions' first."
Sun Zuo, Li Muyi and the others had arrived a while ago. Although they were still wondering what Shen Qian was going to do, they all took out their "literary positions" upon hearing this.
Although Shen Qian only wanted the literary ranks they didn't need, in reality, very few people had collected high-star literary ranks by this point. After gathering them all together, Shen Qian obtained over a hundred literary ranks. Adding to the literary ranks he obtained from killing people before, the total number of literary ranks in Shen Qian's hands instantly approached two hundred.
With so many scholars gathered together, even in this scholarly basin teeming with scholars, it was extremely conspicuous. The martial artists who had been forced back by the sinking figure even forgot to communicate for a moment, all looking over with eyes full of surprise or greed.
Ignoring the various gazes around him, he stepped onto the "mountain of books" abruptly, carrying the starlight that surrounded him.
There was no resistance on the mountain of books, and now that it had been cleared, there was only Chen Qian left. Apart from not being able to fly, it did not affect Chen Qian's speed.
Before many people could even react, Chen Qian had already strode upwards and reached the top of the mountain of books in a very short time.
Some martial artists were tempted to try, but under Tantai Qin's cold expression, they ultimately restrained their impulses and could only watch helplessly as Shen Qian became the first person to reach the peak of the Book Mountain.
On the other side, when the sky suddenly cleared above them, they arrived at the summit of Shushan Mountain and were surveying the scene before them.
At the highest point of the countless books was a platform only a few meters square. In the center of the platform stood a bronze stone platform about half a person's height, shaped like a stove. Next to the stone platform were three pieces of shimmering blue ore. The stove itself was empty.
Beside the stone platform, there was also an upside-down iron hammer.
The moment Shen Qian saw the stone platform, a piece of information was infused into his mind, letting him know how to use it.
Simply place the inscription to be smelted on the stone platform and continuously strike it with the iron hammer, and new inscriptions will gradually be created.
"No wonder the smelting formation at the top of the 'Mountain of Books' disappears after being used three times. It turns out that there are only three pieces of ore that can be used to smelt literary titles."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Qian strode to the stone platform, threw a piece of ore into the furnace, then picked up the hammer. At the same time, he waved his hand, and the many inscribed stones surrounding him fell one by one onto the stone platform.
when!
As the first inscription fell, the iron hammer in Shen Qian's hand fell in response. The inscription, which Shen Qian had previously tested and could not damage by brute force, turned directly into a ball of pure, watery light.
However, no matter how the light flowed, it could not escape the surface of the stone platform.
when!
Immediately afterward, the second inscription fell, and Chen Qian's iron hammer fell again, producing another burst of light that seemed to merge with the first burst of light.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Before the two orbs of light could fully merge, a third, a fourth, a fifth... new textual elements were continuously incorporated into them, condensing towards an even higher form.
Boom! Boom!
As more and more literary figures gathered, Chen Qian swung his hammer faster and faster. Above the mountain of books, the wind and clouds surged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a dazzling, inverted reflection of light was constantly twisting and trying to take shape, creating an extremely powerful spectacle.
Tens of thousands of martial artists had gathered around the mountain of books, and they were all staring in disbelief at the scene.
Some later arrivals were even confused and couldn't understand why so many people were just staring blankly while a young man was brazenly setting up the circuit breaker above.
After learning the whole story from others, they were stunned and unwilling to leave.
As more and more people gathered, greed was etched on the faces of many. Given the current scarcity of high-star inscriptions, it was obvious that the ultimate inscription created by piling up two hundred inscriptions would be of extraordinary level.
But most importantly, the person who is fusing the texts is Shen Qian, the "hidden treasure" of this sea of knowledge!
They didn't know why Shen Qian would expose himself in such a prominent position as the mountain of books, but wasn't this the perfect opportunity to ambush and kill Shen Qian?
Even with the aloof and dignified Tantai Qin standing there, she could no longer stop the restless crowd.
If it weren't for the fact that they had already reached the top before the sinking, and that there was a natural barrier protecting them during the melting process, many people would probably have rushed up long ago.
Tantai Qin already knew Shen Qian's thoughts. She glanced around, then silently disappeared, her whereabouts unknown.
