Although the passage was closed, the "Sea of Learning" had already removed its shield, and the imprint between his physical body and soul could still sense each other. He believed that someone must be guarding his physical body and should be able to detect the anomaly.
Shen Qian didn't have to wait long. Soon, Shen Qian, who still controlled the "Sea of Learning" artifact, realized that he could leave at any time.
But before leaving, there was one last thing to do before sinking.
He returned to the Book Mountain Basin and entered the space where the ancient chaotic beast was hiding.
After darkness, Shen Qian appeared in a hidden, enclosed space.
The sight that came into view made him squint.
The enclosed space was now in ruins, and most of the huge floating island had disappeared. A massive, mutilated corpse stood guard over the remaining small part of the island.
As Shen Qian's gaze fell upon the remaining island, several juvenile Chaos Beasts hid in fear.
Shen Qian roughly understood what was going on.
The pale storm swept across almost half of the "sea of learning," and the Book Mountain Basin was also within its reach. The space here was merely folded, but that did not mean it had escaped dimensions; it was still subject to the storm's onslaught.
However, this place is already far from the core area. If the adult ancient beast Boqi had focused on hiding, like Tantai Qin, he wouldn't have been in any danger.
He could escape, but he didn't have time to gather all the cubs. So at the last moment, he used his own body to block the imperial storm, but the price was his life.
He remained silent, his expression shifting between light and shadow.
He came here to see if there was an opportunity to kill Boqi. Regardless of whether Boqi really harbored malice towards the human race, Shen Qian still could not allow such a hidden danger to remain in the "Sea of Learning".
He now possesses the sacred artifact "Sea of Learning." Although he is extremely weak, he can still unleash terrifying power with the help of the "Sea of Learning." He cannot fight against her, but he still has a chance to suppress ordinary kings and nobles.
Although Boqi seemed to have helped him, this was a racial conflict, not a matter of personal grudges.
After all, with Boqi's strength, if he really wanted to attack a human martial artist who had entered the "Sea of Learning," no one could stop him.
But he never expected that Boqi would die first, leaving behind only these few cubs.
These chaotic young beasts, with lifespans of only a few hundred years, are roughly equivalent to infants who have just learned to walk in human years, which made Shen Qian hesitate.
After much deliberation, Chen Qian moved swiftly and landed on the ruined island.
Holding the sacred artifact "Sea of Learning," he instantly conjured a powerful binding force in the surrounding seawater, freezing the fleeing young beasts in place.
Shen Qian closed his eyes to sense the situation, then reached out and grabbed, and wisps of grayish gas were drawn from the hands of the young beasts and into Shen Qian's hand.
Several young animals showed expressions of pain, and their vitality instantly weakened significantly.
Shen Qian was referring to the practice of the Buddha. Without the innate chaotic energy, these young beasts would degenerate into ordinary demon beasts. Although they would still be powerful, it would be difficult for them to reach the level of kings and marquises again.
"It can be considered as leaving behind a legacy for your clan. As for whether they will die at the hands of martial artists who come here to train in the future, that is none of my business."
Then, Chen Qian repeated the process, extracting the remaining chaotic energy from Bo Qi's body as well.
Although there were precedents of King Jiangling and Buddha Venerable, Shen Qian did not intend to absorb or refine this chaotic energy, but perhaps this chaotic energy could strengthen the Emperor character card.
Having done all this, Shen Qian no longer resisted the summoning power of the mark, and his figure blurred and disappeared into the "Sea of Learning".
...
In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, inside an abandoned shipyard that was used as a temporary teleportation point.
When Shen Qian suddenly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was chaos.
People were running around everywhere. Some were holding bracelets and asking questions loudly, while others were rushing out. The military personnel who were originally responsible for maintaining order were now gathering and heading in different directions, with no one caring about the order at the scene anymore.
"What happened?"
After his initial shock, Shen Qian quickly looked at Li Muyi and Qu Bai, who were still standing beside him.
As for Lin Sanmo, Taishi Wuwei, and others, they have long since disappeared without a trace.
"Shen Qian, you're back!" Upon seeing Shen Qian open his eyes, Li Mu excitedly rushed over and hugged Shen Qian's head, exclaiming with delight, "I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"
"It's a bit stuffy, we'll talk about that later... First, tell me what's wrong here?"
Shen Qian pushed Li Muyi away and stood up from the ground.
“We stayed by your side and dared not leave. Lin Sanmo and the others went to inquire first, but we can confirm that something big has happened... Just before you returned, the princes who were guarding this place all left, and only the minister is still waiting for you.”
Qu Bai finished speaking very quickly, then pointed ahead, "The minister should be in that direction. There was a fight between martial artists just now, and he rushed over to deal with it. You should go find him quickly."
"good!"
Without another word, Shen Qian vanished from his spot in a flash.
...
Several kilometers away, on a pile of old shipping containers, Wu Wei, who had just finished speaking with several martial arts officials, seemed to sense something as Chen Qian arrived and turned to look.
"You're back... It's good that you're alright." Wu Wei's face showed a hint of exhaustion and anxiety, but he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Qian. He said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I heard you also brought back quite a few 'literary titles.' Heh, at least there's some good news."
