Fortunately, this kind of fatal injury only applies to ordinary martial artists.
The Seven Forbidden Zones of Mental Power is an extremely incredible realm.
Shen Qian vaguely sensed that his soul had actually been tainted with characteristics such as "immortality" or "eternity." Unless his soul was completely shattered, even if only a trace of consciousness remained, he could recover completely as long as he was given enough time to recuperate and absorb enough energy.
Even if only one soul remains, the other two souls and seven spirits will regenerate.
If the seven prohibitions alone are so severe, Shen Qian dared not imagine what kind of changes the eighth and ninth prohibitions would bring.
It was only when he reached this level that Shen Qian understood why the Witch Clan was so determined to revive the Witch Emperor.
Although the methods of the various branches of the Witch Clan are different, based on my understanding before the sinking, they all focus on cultivating soul power. This immortality characteristic should be a quality that one will inevitably possess when spiritual power is cultivated to a high level.
As long as the Witch Emperor is not completely dead, there is always a possibility of some kind of resurrection.
In other words, it's highly likely that No. 56 wasn't lying to him, and the Witch King may very well have really returned.
Given Wu Wei's level of expertise, it's hard to understand why he would return severely injured after a trip overseas. Before he drowned, I didn't quite understand, but now I do.
Perhaps, the one who injured him was most likely the Witch Emperor.
However, the Witch Emperor must not have recovered to his full strength yet. Otherwise, given the Heavenly Emperor's demonstrated dominance, the Witch Clan would not have needed to resort to so many schemes and tricks; they could have simply swept away the Human Clan.
And it's highly likely that Wu Wei will not be able to come back alive.
This needs to be confirmed with Wu Wei when we get back.
Having survived the ordeal, Shen Qian's thoughts were scattered. By the time he came to his senses, it was too late to stop them. He could only watch helplessly as Number 56 was overwhelmed by the swarming human warriors.
No matter when or where, when faced with threats from other races, humanity must unite against them. This is an ironclad rule ingrained in our bones for two hundred years, and at least in such times, not many people would succumb to it.
Having been unable to intervene in the earth-shattering chain of self-destructions, the enraged human warriors now had an opportunity and immediately targeted Number 56 with their anger.
"Before you sink, hahaha, we'll meet again... no, wait until you leave the 'Sea of Learning' alive..."
Number 56's eerie smile vanished abruptly, and his body was then completely torn apart.
Shen Qian frowned. He knew that this was most likely another clone of Number 56. He had originally wanted to capture the other party and interrogate him, but he felt that this matter was not so simple.
Without an inside accomplice, how could Number 56 have planted so many spies among the human race? Not to mention bringing all these people into the "Sea of Learning" and getting them through the layers of scrutiny by the Martial Arts Department—that's no easy feat.
"Shenqian, are you alright?"
At this moment, Tantai Qin, Taishi Wuwei, Li Muyi and others had already approached, so Shen Qian could only look away for the time being.
Tantai Qin's expression had returned to calm, but her deep eyes remained fixed on Shen Qian, as if they contained a thousand unspoken words, making Shen Qian's heart tremble slightly.
However, this was clearly not the time for romance. Shen Qian reluctantly looked away, only to be met with an even more intense pair of eyes that made his heart pound.
Li Muyi seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. She murmured her red lips, glanced at Tantai Qin beside her, and finally took a deep breath to calm down. Chen Qian also breathed a sigh of relief.
The people around were all keeping their eyes down, and when they saw Li Muyi take a step back, they all sighed with regret... It seemed there was no good show to watch.
"I'm fine, but the injury is a bit serious. I guess I won't be able to compete for the literary ranks in the 'Sea of Learning' anymore."
Only then did Shen Qian have time to answer Qu Bai's question, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
"You really are willing to part with that, that's an eight-star 'literary rank'!" Taishi Wuwei was still somewhat unwilling.
"Out with the old, in with the new; isn't there still two more chances to forge oneself from the mountain of books?"
Shen Qian smiled, seemingly unconcerned. "If this can change some people's views, perhaps it's worth it."
At this moment, Sun Zuo also came over, his face solemn. "Shen Qian, I see that your soul aura is not very stable. I have a secret method that may be able to help you stabilize it."
"That would be troublesome." Shen Qian did not refuse.
As Sun Zuo spoke, he moved behind Shen Qian. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and his body shone brightly. He formed a knife in his hand and stabbed it fiercely into Shen Qian's back.
At such close range, and with Sun Zuo launching a sudden attack, it was too late for Tantai Qin to realize the danger.
"Shenqian, I'm sorry, blame them for giving too much!"
Sun Zuo laughed wildly, and just as he was about to succeed, a light far more dazzling than his own shone from Shen Qian's body, and Shen Qian's hand had already reached him first and clamped down on his wrist.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Tantai Qin's sword light arrived, severing Sun Zuo's arm in one strike.
Sun Zuo's face was pale, but he didn't care about his severed arm. He just took a few steps back and looked at Shen Qian in disbelief.
At such close range, with his cultivation level, there was absolutely no way he could dodge. Moreover, Shen Qian was clearly seriously injured, so where would he get the soul power to replenish himself?
All of this can only mean that... Shen Qian was prepared for him all along, and his sneak attack was entirely within the other party's expectations.
Shen Qian turned his head, his face calm. "You are more tolerant than I thought. In fact, I gave you many chances along the way, but you didn't make a move. I almost doubted whether I had guessed wrong."
"How...how did you know?"
At this moment, Taishi Wuwei and the others, whose expressions had changed drastically, had already surrounded Sun Zuo. Sun Zuo did not break through immediately, but instead clutched his shoulder and said with extreme resentment, "I clearly did not show the slightest abnormality!"
