Mountains and seas are the most important watershed in the division of modern martial arts.
In the common understanding of the general public, mountains and seas are symbols of strength.
In China, a martial artist specializing in martial arts can directly enjoy a minimum monthly allowance of 100,000 yuan. Once employed in society, regardless of the position, their annual salary will definitely start at several million yuan.
Even in a small place like Jingcheng, excluding special entities like the Tower of Babel, you might not be able to find more than a handful of martial artists from the Mountain and Sea realms in the entire city.
Of course, by now, Shen Qian is no longer the naive boy who pursued the mountains and seas as his lifelong goal because his mother was critically ill.
In a sense, he has come to understand more clearly a statement that Lao Gao once made.
"Mountains and seas are the true beginning of martial arts."
At this moment, as Shen Qian roared, his spiritual power and Yuan power began to surge. At the same time, a phantom image of a lake appeared behind Shen Qian.
That was the prototype of "Tao".
Unlike before, Chen Qian did not rely on the system's power, even though that might have been easier.
If Shen Qian were willing, for example, he could directly copy Tantai Qin's "Dao" and instantly enter the first level of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Moreover, he could reach the same level as Tantai Qin in the shortest time by following her Dao path and become a top-tier Mountain and Sea Realm expert.
But this time, Shen Qian was unwilling.
Although there are many paths to take, he hopes that the first path he opens up will be one that belongs only to him.
Even though... this "path" was destined to be extremely difficult from the very beginning.
It cannot tolerate the slightest mistake; once a mistake is made, it will collapse in an instant.
But from a certain perspective, it is the most suitable "way" for sinking.
Because he possesses the system's foundation, he can bear the consequences of its collapse. He has a thousand ways to retreat, after all... he is a man who can repeatedly jump around on the main road.
The advantage of this "Tao" is that as long as it doesn't collapse, it will be a true path to heaven.
...Well, in Shen Qian's understanding, if even such a "way" cannot reach the heavens, then no one can.
boom!
Thunder rumbled from the heavens, and the seemingly heavy barrier was instantly crushed.
Before sinking, there was never a bottleneck in breaking through, even at the Mountain and Sea Realm!
Strictly speaking, just a few hours earlier, when Shen Qian was only a high-level martial artist, he had already completed the process of "asking the question" and "seeking the way".
He simply did not "attain enlightenment" due to his limited level of understanding.
At this moment, the previous state of enlightenment was perfected, and everything naturally fell into place.
Rumble!
The void completely shattered, and an irresistible force of attraction descended upon Shen Qian.
Before he could even fully process what was happening, he found himself beneath the "Sea of Dao".
Looking up, one sees wind, thunder, water, and fire—the convergence point of all elements in the world. And where Chen Qian's thoughts reach, right beneath his feet, an incomparably wide phantom road begins to extend forward.
During this process, a rainbow of light, refracted from an unknown source, enveloped Shen Qian. The extreme warmth and comfort almost made Shen Qian groan out loud.
The Yuan energy within his body began to transform at an astonishing speed, along with his physical body and spiritual core.
With just a slight feeling, Shen Qian's heart was completely filled with surprise.
In terms of Yuan Power, he had already undergone a transformation during the previous "false breakthrough," and later, in the Divine Machine Hall, thanks to the gift from King Taiyi, his Yuan Power evolved once again.
In terms of physical strength, he wasn't particularly strong before he was born, but after cultivating the top-level divine power "Calamity Buddha", his physical body underwent a series of transformations. Now, he is already at the top level in the same realm, and is not inferior to Shan Hai at all.
In terms of mental strength, this has always been Shen Qian's strength. Thanks to his terrifying talent in this area, his mental strength can be said to crush those of the same level.
Therefore, until this breakthrough, Shen Qian had always had some concerns.
That is... can the pulling force of the Dao Sea really help him complete his transformation again?
But at this moment, Shen Qian realized he had been overthinking things.
The pulling force of the Dao Sea is absolutely the highest level among all the transformative forces that can be defined.
The Yuan energy within his body was compressed by a full circle almost the instant it boiled over.
The reduction in size symbolizes a significant increase in quality!
The entire transformation process takes no more than a minute, but when the seven-colored light fades, the powerful Yuan energy flowing again in Shen Qian's body is also covered with a faint colored halo.
If the mass of his elemental force before sinking was about 1.3, then at this moment, it has undoubtedly reached 2.5 or even higher.
That colorful halo is very likely a symbol of the "forbidden elemental power" that the senior students were talking about.
What are taboos?
Taboo symbolizes something that cannot be mentioned or touched.
Just how powerful the forbidden elemental force is, Shenqian doesn't yet have a very direct understanding of it.
However, comparing it solely from his own perspective, the transformation of his Yuan Power at this moment has increased his combat strength by at least ten thousand.
On the contrary, the physical enhancement was not as great as expected before the sinking.
However, considering that the "Calamity Buddha" may have raised his base value to an extremely high level, and that he is not a strong person who follows the path of body refinement, an increase of more than 30% is already considered extremely strong.
What surprised Shen Qian the most was the transformation of his spiritual core.
Although Shen Qian had already condensed his spiritual core in advance, his spiritual core was no different from that of other martial artists. It perfectly matched the description in the textbook, that is, the shape of a walnut, at most a little larger than that of a martial artist who had just entered the Mountain and Sea Realm.
