From the moment he entered the sea to the moment he came back.
It took Qin Shujian about two months in total.
The reason why it took so much time.
Part of it was because he was in the void world, and part of it was because he understood the rules.
So the time was serious.
It also consumed a lot.
When the boat floated towards the dock, someone immediately recognized Qin Shujian's identity.
The news that the number one expert in the cultivation world had entered the sea.
It had already spread out.
Many people were paying attention to Qin Shujian's movements.
The sea was not like other places.
There were many dangers in the sea. Even if a Celestial Being encountered it, he would be in danger of dying if he was not careful.
Qin Shujian was known as the number one expert in the cultivation world.
But even so, he might not be safe in the sea.
In the Great Zhao.
It was not that there were no experts who entered the sea and never came out again.
Qin Shujian had offended quite a few people in the world of cultivators.
Many people were secretly watching Yuan Zong.
It was just because Qin Shujian was famous and powerful that no one dared to act rashly.
But if Qin Shujian died in the sea.
Then there would be some changes in the cultivation world.
Although Heavenly Zombie Jiang Feng was strong.
But no matter what, he was still a zombie. Without Qin Shujian, even if Yuan Zong had Jiang Feng, he would definitely not be able to maintain his current position.
But —
The premise of all this was based on Qin Shujian dying in the sea.
If he did not die.
Then all the assumptions were just empty talk.
For this.
Many forces sent people to the East Wen Mansion to silently watch the movements in the sea.
They needed to know if Qin Shujian would come out again after going in.
It would not take too long.
As long as Qin Shujian did not come out of the sea in two or three years, they could basically confirm the fact that he had died.
But now it was only two months.
Qin Shujian, however, returned from the sea.
This news made some people who had ideas in their hearts look a lot worse.
"Damn it, why didn't Qin Shujian die in the sea!"
In an ordinary mansion, a middle-aged man couldn't help but curse as he read the message on the communication jade charm.
Qin Shujian was not dead.
He came out of the sea in two months.
The importance of this information was not small at all.
The middle-aged man scolded, but he quickly passed the news back.
He was a spy sent by another mansion to the East Wen Mansion.
Purpose.
It was to find out some useful information and send it back to the organization they belonged to.
During this period of time.
There was only one message from the middle-aged man's sect, which was to keep an eye on the sea and see if Qin Shujian had come out of the sea.
Now, the news that Qin Shujian had come out came.
The middle-aged man naturally had to report this matter to the person behind him.
Situations like this.
It kept happening in the East Wen Mansion.
Before Qin Shujian even set foot on the dock, the news of him coming out of the sea had already spread throughout the Eastern Wen Prefecture and even the entire Cultivation World.
The boat docked at the dock.
Qin Shujian took a step forward and left the boat, appearing on the dock.
"You are Master Qin?"
The middle-aged man who had been selling the boat earlier was obviously startled when he saw Qin Shujian, but he quickly came to his senses.
He was very familiar with Qin Shujian.
After all, not many people bought boats from the middle-aged man. There were even fewer people like Qin Shujian, who dared to go to sea alone with a small boat.
The means that Qin Shujian used a few months ago.
In the middle-aged man's eyes, it was still fresh in his memory.
Therefore.
After seeing Qin Shujian, he recognized him at first sight.
Qin Shujian looked at the middle-aged man and said with a faint smile, "I have no use for the boat, so I'll return it to you."
"This —"
"Don't worry, you don't need to refund the money. Just take it as a gift." Qin Shujian waved his hand and dispelled the middle-aged man's concerns.
Hearing this.
The middle-aged man suddenly smiled and then acted a little embarrassed, "How can I accept this? I'd better return the money to Master Qin."
"I said I'll give it to you, so I'll give it to you."
Qin Shujian didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. When he finished speaking, he had disappeared.
The middle-aged man looked at the empty scene in front of him and was stunned for a long time. Then, his face was overjoyed.
He made a profit!
He made a lot of money this time.
After going around in circles, the boat returned to his hands. This was equivalent to renting the boat to someone else and getting the money for selling the boat.
The middle-aged man also knew that a master like Qin Shujian wouldn't care about a few taels of silver, so he calmly said that he would return the money.
If it were someone else.
The middle-aged man was another story.
On the other side.
Qin Shujian left the dock and walked in the East Pattern Mansion on foot.
"It's strange, this place is a bit peaceful." In his mind, the words of Godslayer came.
As the killing Zu Bing.
Godslayer was most familiar with the aura of killing, but in his perception, the East Pattern Mansion didn't seem to have any killing. It was like a peaceful paradise.
This scene.
Godslayer didn't see it many times.
As Qin Shujian walked, he said casually, "The East Pattern Mansion is one of the ancient mansions in the Great Zhao. There are very few people here who kill. Even if there are fights, there are very few.
Thinking about it, this should be the reason why there are so few killings! "
"Well, that's not a problem."
Godslayer replied with a soft hum.
There was no killing.
The aura of killing was naturally less. When the aura of killing was less, the ruthlessness in the hearts of the people here would be reduced a lot.
This virtuous cycle created the scene in front of him. It wasn't strange.
Along the way.
Godslayer asked the question in his heart again. "I didn't expect that the human race was so weak now. There are cultivators who haven't even entered the True Martial Realm."
"Could it be that in ancient times, everyone was born with the True Martial Realm?"
Qin Shujian asked in return.
He had been puzzled by this question for a long time.
When Qin Shujian was on the Heavenly Pattern Island, the creatures he saw were at least in the True Martial Realm.
"Yes, but also no."
"Senior, what do you mean?" Qin Shujian cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled.
When it came to people who spoke in riddles, he always beat them up first before speaking.
But he couldn't beat Godslayer.
Qin Shujian could only smile and greet him.
The God-slaying Saber said, "There are strong and weak races among the ten thousand races. The weak races are born with low strength and can't reach the level of True Martial Arts. However, some of the stronger races are all born in the True Martial Arts Realm.
Originally, the True Martial Realm had another name, and that was the Xiantian Realm.
But because many of the small races didn't reach the True Martial Realm, the Xiantian Realm was renamed the True Martial Realm. Then, below the True Martial Realm, there was a Basic Martial Realm. "
Basic Martial Realm, True Martial Realm!
If Godslayer didn't explain the origin of these two realms, Qin Shujian really wouldn't know.
"The ancient human race was one of the top races. All of its members were at the True Martial Realm. Because the human race's bloodline was strong, and the place they lived in was rich in spiritual energy.
When a fetus was born, it would be cleansed by spiritual energy, so it was born at the True Martial Realm.
"What a pity. I didn't expect the world to be so broken after so many years. Not only is the spiritual energy thin, but even the descendants of the top races have fallen to the Basic Martial Realm."
Godslayer's tone was desolate. He was saddened by the decline of a top race.
The attacks of the Demonic Abyss had caused the ten thousand races to suffer heavy losses.
Even a great race like the human race had fallen to such a degree.
"— —"
Qin Shujian was speechless.
He didn't tell Godslayer that the human race didn't enter the Martial Realm at birth, but that they couldn't even reach it.
It was better to leave this matter for him to discover in the future.
He didn't want to deal another blow to Godslayer if he mentioned it now.
But Qin Shujian didn't want to talk.
It didn't mean that Godslayer didn't want to talk.
After entering the East Wen Mansion, Godslayer became more talkative and would ask a question from time to time.
Considering his identity as Zu Bing.
And it was very likely that he would have to rely on Godslayer in the future.
Qin Shujian restrained his mind and tried his best to answer the other party.
Godslayer said, "Who is the strongest in the human race now? What is his approximate strength?"
"The strongest in the human race is the Human Emperor. His strength should be at the tenth level of the Celestial Being Realm or the Nirvana Realm."
Qin Shujian thought for a moment and said.
He was still clear about the strength of the Human Emperor.
If it weren't for the Godslayer, Qin Shujian really didn't want to talk about this issue.
Because once this sentence was said.
Qin Shujian could imagine what the God-Slaying Knife was going to say next.
As expected.
When Qin Shujian finished speaking, Godslayer immediately said sarcastically, "The human race is really declining. A cultivator in the Nirvana Realm dares to call himself the Human Emperor. If it were in ancient times, he would be beaten to death in minutes."
"Senior, the Nirvana Realm is now the strongest in the human race. I am only at the fourth level of the Celestial Being Realm. I can be called the strongest in the cultivation world."
Qin Shujian suddenly felt that there was a need for him to let the God-Slaying Saber know some things.
It was no longer the ancient times.
In the eyes of others, the Human Emperor was their father.
Qin Shujian thought that his strength was already very strong, but it was still not enough in front of the Human Emperor.
If one day Godslayer offended the Human Emperor, he would also suffer. That would be really awkward.
Godslayer seemed to know what Qin Shujian was thinking. After a simple ridicule, he stopped talking about this issue and moved on to the next question.
"What is the cultivation world?"
"Although the human race is now a whole, there are also divisions. The imperial court nominally rules the entire human race, but the cultivators outside the direct forces of the imperial court are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
These people divided and formed the cultivation world.
But strictly speaking, the cultivation world is actually under the imperial court. After all, the Human Emperor is the strongest, and the others have nothing to say. "
Qin Shujian explained.
Godslayer sneered and said, "In ancient times, when did the human race have such divisions? The Human Emperor was the only one. The human race in the world was under the jurisdiction of the Human Emperor, and no one dared to disobey his orders.
The current Human Emperor can't even truly unify the human race. What right does he have to call himself the emperor? "
Qin Shujian felt tired.
After Godslayer knew that the Human Emperor was only in the Nirvana Realm, he seemed to find him an eyesore and would pick on him everywhere.
Under such circumstances.
He didn't want to pay attention to it.
Qin Shujian continued to walk, crossing thousands of mountains under his feet.
After breaking through to the fourth tier of the Celestial Being Realm, his strength had increased, but his speed was several times faster than before.
Godslayer said, "How many races are left in the world now?"
"I don't know about the other three continents, but there is only one human left in the East Continent now!"
"Only the human race is left in the world?"
Godslayer was stunned.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Although the word "race" didn't really mean that there were 10,000 races, in fact, the 10,000 races represented thousands of races.
Now, someone told him.
The thousands of races were things of the past. The 10,000 races had long died, and only one was left.
Even though Godslayer was Zu Bing of the human race, he was still shocked by the news.
Qin Shujian kept walking and casually replied, "Not really. There are still some races, such as the Eldar. The tree in my sect seems to have become an Eldar.
By the way, there is also a cow in my sect, which is also a demon. As for the other demons, they were driven away by the human race some time ago. I guess they have all gone to the other three continents now. "
Qin Shujian said casually.
The God-Slaying Saber sounded sorrowful.
"Could it be that the only thing left of the Eldar was a tree? "What kind of sect raised a cow that was a demon?"
Soon.
Godslayer came to his senses and said involuntarily, "The demon race was driven away by the human race. Did the human race and the demon race break off?"
"Senior, can I trouble you to pause for a moment between humans and demons when you talk about the two races?"
Qin Shujian corrected the other party's grammatical mistake and then said, "The human race and the demon race have broken off long ago. It has been at least tens of thousands of years, or hundreds of thousands of years."
"If I remember correctly, the current Demon Emperor of the demon race indirectly died at the hands of the current Human Emperor. Senior, this is no longer the ancient times. In the ancient times, the Emperor Of Heaven suppressed the 10,000 races.
But now, there is no Heavenly Court and no Emperor Of Heaven. It is normal for different races to kill each other. Those who are not of our race must have different intentions. This is not a lie. "
The human race and the demon race broke off.
It was so normal.
They were two different races to begin with, so it was normal for them to split.
As for why the human race and the demon race split, to be honest, Qin Shujian wasn't very sure.
But he was sure.
There must be a few people in the Great Zhao who knew the cause of the matter.
But they didn't say.
He was just a small Heavenly Human cultivator, so he couldn't force them to say.
"Those who are not of our race must have different intentions!"
Godslayer muttered and then sighed. "Perhaps. Without the suppression of the Emperor Of Heaven, it's normal for the 10,000 races to turn against each other."
As early as the early stage of Heaven and Earth.
The 10,000 races often fought.
It wasn't until the appearance of the Emperor Of Heaven that the 10,000 races let go of their past grudges.
Now that the Emperor Of Heaven was no longer suppressing them, it didn't seem strange for the races to turn against each other.
Not long after.
Godslayer shifted his attention away from the two races.
In any case, it was fine as long as the human race was still around. He was just Zu Bing of the human race and didn't have any feelings for the other races.
At most.
He had some sort of friendship with the Ancestral Armaments of the other races.
To a certain extent, an existence at Zu Bing's level was already considered a different kind of expert.
Zu Bing of the 10,000 races had a friendship with each other.
It was all very normal.
What really attracted Godslayer's attention was the three continents that Qin Shujian mentioned.
"You said three continents. What are the three continents?"
"The world is now divided into four continents. We are in the Eastern Continent. The passage between the Eastern Continent and the other continents has turned into a heaven and earth restriction. Now, the Human Emperor is preparing to break the restriction and reconnect with the other continents."
"The world is not complete either!"
Godslayer sighed and didn't ask anything else.
There were some things.
As long as Qin Shujian said one sentence, he could guess a lot of things.
In the past, the world was a whole, and there had never been any four continents.
Now that the world was divided into four continents, there was only one possibility, and that was that there was already a problem with the world.
After learning some things.
Godslayer finally stopped asking questions.
Qin Shujian also heaved a sigh of relief.
When he was in the sea, he didn't realize that Godslayer was a chatterbox. Now that he had entered the Eastern Pattern Mansion, he finally knew how much the other party had to say.
However, the other party was an "old senior", so he couldn't not answer.
Now that Godslayer was quiet, Qin Shujian suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Surrounded by mountains.
Clouds and mist.
Occasionally, cranes would soar into the sky, and some spirit beasts would play around.
It was worth mentioning.
There were demons in the world. The demons had given birth to beasts and spirit beasts.
Compared with the beasts' fighting.
Spirit beasts had a much gentler temperament. They liked to breathe in and out spirit energy and rarely ate flesh and blood. They also wouldn't attack other creatures for no reason.
Some sects wanted to show off their imposing manner.
They would also raise some spirit beasts near the sect.
However, in Qin Shujian's view, the spirit beasts in the mountains in front of him didn't seem to be raised by humans. Instead, they gathered on their own.
"The place where the Sea-covering Sect is located is really imposing!"
Looking at the mountains and thinking of his lonely Mount Liang, the smile on Qin Shujian's face faded a little.
People were afraid of comparisons.
In the past, he was quite satisfied with Mount Liang. In the entire Mount Liang Spirit Domain, Mount Liang was the highest and could be said to be outstanding.
But now, Qin Shujian found out.
Being outstanding by itself didn't seem to be as beautiful as a hundred flowers blooming together.
"Speaking of which, isn't the surroundings of Mount Liang a little empty? Should I go back and move a few mountains over there and make it look better?"
Qin Shujian's expression was serious.
He was really considering this matter.
At the top of the mountain of the Sea-covering Sect.
Si Hanhai held a fishing rod in his hand and fished in the clouds.
Not long after.
The clouds surged. Si Hanhai pulled the fishing rod and a crane broke away from the clouds.
Si Hanhai looked at the crane in front of him and shook his head with a smile: "It's you every time. It seems that you've decided on this old man."
After scolding it with a smile.
Si Hanhai took out a spirit fruit and threw it to the crane.
The crane opened its mouth and swallowed the spirit fruit. Then, it spread its wings and flew into the sky, crying loudly.
At this moment.
Si Hanhai was about to continue lowering the fishing rod when he suddenly stopped. He turned his head to look at the sea of clouds on the side, as if he could see the scene below the sea of clouds.
Then.
Si Hanhai got up and immediately disappeared.
Qin Shujian was standing at the foot of the mountain of the Sea-covering Sect. Before he went up the mountain, there was an extra person in front of him.
"Sect Master Qin, you've come to the Sea-covering Sect today. This old man didn't welcome you."
Si Hanhai cupped his hands and said.
Looking at Qin Shujian, his eyes flashed with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
The Qin Shujian in front of him and the Qin Shujian two months ago made Si Hanhai feel a little different.
But what exactly was different?
He couldn't tell.
The biggest problem was that standing in front of Qin Shujian this time, Si Hanhai vaguely felt a sense of threat in his heart.
"His strength has become even stronger!"
Si Hanhai's heart trembled.
How long had it been?
Qin Shujian's strength had improved.
It must be known that it was not easy for a divine-level cultivator to take another step forward from their original foundation.
When he saw Si Hanhai.
In Qin Shujian's mind, Godslayer's voice also sounded.
"The human in front of me is not simple. He has secrets."
Secrets!?
Qin Shujian's eyes flashed with a look of doubt.
What secrets did Si Hanhai have?
He quickly associated it with the scene when he fought with the other party earlier.
Regarding Godslayer's words.
Qin Shujian didn't have a doubtful attitude.
The other party was Zu Bing. His vision was extraordinarily high. It was normal for him to see through something that he didn't see.
Thinking so in his heart.
Qin Shujian said with a faint smile, "Last time, we fought to a draw. I'm very eager. This time, I came to the Sea-covering Sect hoping to ask you for advice again."
At this point.
Qin Shujian's purpose was very clear. He was here to fight.
Si Hanhai's eyes flashed with helplessness, then he smiled and said, "Sect Master Qin, you must be joking. You and I have no enmity. Why do we have to fight? I had no choice. If Sect Master Qin is dissatisfied, this old man will apologize."
"You misunderstand. I'm not a stingy person. I've always wanted to fight with experts. I think you're a very good opponent."
Qin Shujian's eyes were burning.
Si Hanhai's concession surprised him a little.
But it was just a surprise.
How could it be so easy to simply back down?
Si Hanhai smiled bitterly and said, "Sect Master Qin, why do you have to force me? If that's the case, this old man is willing to admit defeat."
"As the strongest person in the Sea-covering Sect, how can I be afraid before the battle?"
"Knowing that I'm not a match for you, this old man won't embarrass himself."
Si Hanhai shook his head.
It was impossible for him to make a move.
Last time, Si Hanhai had only tested Qin Shujian's depth. From the beginning to the end, Si Hanhai had never thought of fighting Qin Shujian to the death.
As for fame and fortune.
For Si Hanhai, these were not important things.
If it was really for fame and fortune.
After so many years, the Sea-covering Sect would not have kept a low profile.
Now, only the East Pattern Prefecture knew about the existence of the Sea-covering Sect. Some forces in other prefectures had not even heard of the name of the Sea-covering Sect.
Qin Shujian frowned and said in a cold voice, "If you're afraid before the battle and insist on admitting defeat, then you have to announce to the cultivation world that you, Si Hanhai, have been defeated by me."
"If Sect Master Qin really wants to do this, this old man can immediately announce to the cultivation world."
Si Hanhai looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
No matter what Qin Shujian said, he still had no intention of fighting.
For this.
Qin Shujian was really helpless.
He never expected that Si Hanhai could endure to this extent. It was really difficult to deal with such a person who completely abandoned fame and fortune.
As for forcibly fighting.
Qin Shujian had no intention of doing so.
Because if he did so, he would inevitably fall out with the Sea-covering Sect. He didn't want to do that.
