To be on the safe side, Shen Qian will not enter this "door" again for some time.
This struggle probably only lasted a few breaths before Chen Qian felt incredibly stupid.
What choices do adults make?
So he put away both the Greedy Wolf Blade and the Silence Blade.
Dual swords...that seems pretty cool too.
Having chosen his weapon, Chen Qian quickly scanned the hall where the Demon King's treasures were stored, taking some useful rare potions and ingredients, and then taking the only defensive item among the Star Weapons.
After completing these tasks and confirming that nothing had been overlooked, Shen Qian flashed and arrived at the void above the main hall.
The original three Chaos Stones remained here, but with a thought from Shen Qian, they immediately flew outwards, pointing out a way for Shen Qian to leave this chaotic space-time.
Before long, Shen Qian saw the ancient bronze gate standing quietly in the stagnant space of time.
He had realized that the door was actually forged by the Demon King, and that the original entrance to this space should have been sealed off by the Demon King.
This time, without needing the "omniscient" key, Shen Qian's figure passed through the bronze door without any hindrance. With a flash, he was back in the depths of the underground city.
Turning to look at the bronze door with its broken chains, which still bore the seal left by the Demon King and was difficult even for kings and nobles to break, Shen Qian hesitated for a moment before raising his hand to draw on the door.
His array formation skills relied on the system and reached the level of a grandmaster. He added hundreds of array seals to the bronze gate in one go before stopping.
Even so, this "door" may not be able to completely block everyone, but another purpose of setting up the array seal is to ensure that if someone tries to forcibly break through the "door," at least Shenqian can know immediately.
As he reinforced the seal before sinking, he was about to turn and leave when he suddenly heard applause behind him.
"I had long heard of my junior brother's unparalleled talent, not only for his amazing talent in martial arts but also for his mastery of alchemy. I never imagined that he was also proficient in formations. It truly amazes me..."
This admiring voice sent chills down Shen Qian's spine.
He suddenly turned around and looked at the void hundreds of meters away, where a black-haired youth dressed in a long robe stood with his hands clasped, smiling and watching him.
"Who are you?"
Shen Qian frowned and asked, his heart filled with extreme vigilance.
Even with his current mental strength, and even though he was slightly lax because he had just left the "gate" where time and space were frozen, he still didn't notice that the other party had already closed in to within a kilometer range, which was still quite incredible.
Of course, it was also because Shen Qian did not sense any hostility from this young man.
The other party's face was completely unfamiliar, but among all the people in the mountains and seas, only Jiang Huan could remain unfathomable. So another explanation is... this black-haired youth is a king.
"I've already called you junior brother, surely you can't guess my identity?"
The black-haired youth smiled slightly.
Junior brother?
Shen hadn't paid close attention to the other person's form of address before, and was now stunned when the other person reminded him.
He only had one teacher in his life, not even someone like the King of Words, and besides, the King of Words had no other disciples.
Shen Qian was initially confused, but then a thought suddenly struck him as he remembered something.
He did indeed have a senior brother whom he had never met, who was also a true disciple of the great master Gao.
Then, Shen Qian noticed that the black-haired youth also had a white cloth wrapped around his left arm, as if he were offering a sacrifice.
"Could you be... Seventh Senior Brother?" Shen Qian asked uncertainly.
"My real name is Gu Donglai," the black-haired youth said with a slight smile, not denying Shen Qian's statement.
Seeing that the other party had actually tacitly agreed, Shen Qian stood there stunned for a moment, quite surprised.
Regarding this mysterious seventh senior brother, neither Lao Liu nor anyone else ever spoke of him. Before, everyone thought that the seventh senior brother had already perished, which is why no one ever mentioned him.
Until that time when Elder Gao set up the Heaven-Seizing Array, starlight was scattered in all directions. All of Elder Gao's disciples would benefit, but two of them returned with their own opportunities.
At that time, the third senior brother said that the eldest senior brother and the seventh junior brother had given the opportunity to Shen Qian. Shen Qian was confused at the time, but he also realized that the seventh senior brother was not dead.
To this day, he still doesn't understand why everyone never talks about his seventh senior brother, nor does he know where his seventh senior brother went.
At this moment, after Shen Qian entered the "gate" to the Earth's core, his seventh senior brother suddenly appeared, leaving Shen Qian somewhat at a loss.
"Isn't that incredible?"
Gu Donglai seemed to have guessed what Shen Qian was thinking and laughed, "Thinking about why I suddenly appeared?"
Shen Qian nodded, making no attempt to hide his reaction.
"Of course it's because you've made too much of a fuss; these things need to be resolved eventually."
Gu Donglai shrugged and said, "You may not know, but I have another identity."
"What?"
“The Secretary-General of the Council of Kings and Nobles,” Gu Donglai said slowly with a smile.
"Huh?" Shen Qian was a little confused.
"Although the principle upheld by the Council of Kings and Marquises is that it is jointly negotiated by many kings and marquises, most of them are very busy, so they will naturally set up permanent offices. As for me, the Secretary-General, you can think of me as someone who is specifically responsible for handling the daily affairs of the Council of Kings and Marquises..."
Gu Donglai chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I'm just a sucker, doing all the work for nothing."
After listening to Gu Donglai's explanation, Shen Qian roughly understood the other party's identity.
