Out of caution, Shen Qian did not immediately trace his whereabouts.
However, after looking left and right and not finding anything dangerous or smelling of living things, Shen Qian couldn't hold back his curiosity and decided to enter the hall to investigate.
One is because the aura of heaven and earth on this island is particularly strong, and it is obviously not an ordinary place.
From a distance, those continuous islands even vaguely formed some kind of formation, but Shen Qian couldn't tell because he didn't see the whole picture.
The second one is that after observing the surrounding environment, Shen Qian can basically be sure.
The quaint blue brick hall under his feet was at the core of the entire island, giving it the appearance of a tiger perched on a dragon's plate.
And he didn't see any other buildings on this island. No matter what was in the hall, it must be the secret of this island.
When Shen Qian jumped off the roof and landed lightly on the ground, he realized that the hall was far more magnificent than he had imagined.
The dome is a hundred meters high, and huge integrated stone pillars support the overall structure. The cracks in the rocks are covered with moss marks, telling the long history of this place.
Shen Qian came to the gate.
There is a stone plaque hanging above the top of the hall, with the two characters "神机" written on it.
Shen Qian's head felt dizzy, and he quickly lowered his head, secretly frightened.
I don’t know who wrote these two vigorous characters, but the sharpness of the writing creates a feeling that makes people afraid to look directly.
Definitely a top powerhouse.
When Shen Qian was hesitating whether to push the door open, with a "rumbling" sound, the two stone doors that were originally closed suddenly opened as if there was some kind of induction.
A beam of light came out from the dark doorway and fell directly on Shen Qian.
The next moment, Shen Qian's figure disappeared from where he was.
Just before the space changed, Shen Qian vaguely heard a roar from the distance.
I don't know why, but that roar still feels a bit familiar.
…
As his vision dimmed and then brightened, Shen Qian appeared in another area.
In the endless void, he stood on a flowing meteorite, as if he was in the vast universe, surrounded by stars.
The stars were constantly changing, creating all kinds of magnificent visions, which seemed to contain great principles, which made Shen Qian's heart sway when he saw them... even though he couldn't understand them either.
And among the flow of stars, Shen Qian vaguely heard some strange friction sounds.
He observed it intently for a moment, and then he was shocked.
If you use your eyesight very hard, you will find that those dark places are all huge gears with a diameter of more than a kilometer. They form a set of secret machines that are constantly running, constructing this infinite and vast starry sky.
In the flash of lightning, Shen Qian seemed to have thought of something.
According to legend, King Taiyi, one of the first nine kings, the man who single-handedly created the city's protection system and weather system, was not called "Taiyi" in the early years, but "Shenji".
But later, King Taiyi seemed to dislike the title "Shenji" as being too ostentatious, so he changed it to "Taiyi".
When reading this short story, Shen Qian couldn't help but vomit. As long as you are a top prince, even if you are called the "Street King", you will still be very ostentatious, okay?
In short, this detail made Shen Qian vaguely aware of where this place was.
This Shenji Hall is most likely related to King Taiyi.
In other words, this is the legendary prince's secret realm, and it is also a kind of prince's treasure.
While Shen Qian was thinking wildly, a figure emerged in mid-air.
This is a tall young man, wearing a decent white suit, with a handsome face and vicissitudes in his eyes, but his figure is slightly unreal, like some kind of projection.
If it weren't for the different temperament and clothing, when Shen Qian saw the white patch of hair, he almost thought he was a big shot.
But he soon remembered the blurry photos on the Internet and realized who this person was.
"King Taiyi!"
Shen Qian quickly saluted the boss respectfully.
Although the person who appeared in front of him was definitely not the real King Taiyi. After all, King Taiyi had not been seen in public for many years and his whereabouts were a mystery.
"Wuding Bridge is a semi-finished product of my early weapon refining. It had many flaws, so I threw it away overseas... However, I accidentally discovered that it is just right to be used to train warriors who are new to the mountains and seas."
After King Taiyi appeared, he said with emotion.
Shen Qian was stunned when he heard this.
No fixed bridge?
Is this place called Wuding Bridge?
Although Shen Qian looked around and didn't see anything to do with the bridge, he vaguely felt that he had heard the words "Wuding Bridge" somewhere.
But... where is it?
"Since you can win the title of Wuding Bridge, you must have gone through a lot of hardships. You have walked through eighty-one floating bridges. I think you will gain a lot."
King Taiyi then smiled.
Shen Qian became even more confused after hearing this.
...What leader?
"King Taiyi, you may have misunderstood. I came here randomly..."
Shen Qian felt something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to explain.
However, King Taiyi didn't seem to hear what he said at all, and just continued to talk to himself, "But those gains are still inferior to what this Divine Machine Palace can give you."
Shen Qian had no choice but to give up explaining.
He has discovered that the clone of King Taiyi in front of him is probably a pure projection, like a set program, without the ability to think independently.
And based on King Taiyi's words, he had guessed something.
It seems that the desert island he accidentally entered after crossing the "gate" is probably the end point of the so-called Wuding Bridge.
But where exactly is Wuding Bridge?
Maybe it was because of poor mental health that Shen Qian just couldn't remember.
"I will give you three great gifts today."
While Shen Qian was still thinking about it, King Taiyi suddenly smiled and waved his hand gently.
"I see that you are missing one armor, so as my first gift, I will give you a battle armor. May you be as immovable as a mountain and stand thousands of feet high!"
Before Shen Qian could react, a piece of armor as big as a palm and like dragon scales appeared in front of Shen Qian, floating quietly in the air.
The armor exudes a faint golden glow. Although it is small in size, it gives people a strong illusion of being as heavy as a mountain.
Shen Qian was stunned.
He was doubly surprised.
The first surprise came from the fact that although he didn’t know where the Divine Machine Palace was and why King Taiyi had to give him three gifts inexplicably, but...
The gift-giving mode of this Shenji Temple is too smart! It turns out to be tailor-made, so whatever is missing is given away.
Shen Qian originally had a good B-level armor, tailor-made by Jiang Zhongjunwu, but it was completely destroyed in the battle with Jiang Chengye just now.
This armor given by King Taiyi was a timely gift.
The second level of surprise came from the level of the armor in front of him.
The golden light is released!
This turned out to be... an S-class armor!
What is the concept of S-class armor?
As we all know, psionic armor is more valuable than psionic weapons of the same level.
The B-level armor equipped by Shen Qian was already equivalent to an entry-level A-level weapon.
And the S-class armor... is almost comparable to the legendary SS psychic weapon. It is rare to find, and it is difficult to measure it with specific money.
After all, normal people would never sell it.
This is the lifelong pursuit of many master craftsmen.
It is no exaggeration to say that just such an S-class armor can at least increase Shen Qian's combat power by more than 50%.
Before Shen Qian had time to recover from the huge surprise, King Taiyi, who had been looking up and down at Shen Qian for a long time, spoke again.
"I see that there is something in you that has some connection with me. I will help you transform it a little bit more today. It is indestructible to ordinary princes. I hope you can take advantage of the situation and rise to the top!"
A pendant made of unknown metal floated out from Shen Qian's body, and then two mechanical arms stretched out from the void on both sides, and delicately clamped the pendant in one operation.
"That's the invisibility charm given by Lao Liu..."
Shen Qian was startled and then recognized the pendant.
It was the farewell gift that the Sixth Senior Brother gave him on the day he left Jingcheng.
At that time, I heard other senior brothers say that this was the work of King Taiyi, but now it seems that he was not bragging.
Regarding this invisibility talisman, Shen Qian also tested it and found that its effect was extraordinary.
It can hide one's body shape and energy, and can be used to hide, escape, and steal... ahem, in short, there are many wonderful things after using it well.
The only drawback is that it can only block the perception of mountains and seas, or the perception of general mountains and seas, and is likely to be ineffective against top-level mountains and seas.
But now that King Taiyi said this, even the princes can't see through it after the transformation, which is a bit embarrassing.
Although it is useless for top princes, how many top princes are there in the world?
In the past, Shen Qian didn't really need this invisibility talisman, but now this modified invisibility talisman happened to solve Shen Qian's urgent need.
After all, he is not a real mountain and sea, but he has everything that a mountain and sea should have.
This involves many of his core secrets. If the prince becomes suspicious, he really doesn't know how to deal with it.
With this upgraded version of the invisibility talisman, even the princes can't see clearly what he is and what he is. It is an excellent tool for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
King Taiyi moved very quickly, and in less than ten seconds, the reshaped invisibility talisman floated in front of Shen Qian.
It still looks like an exquisite pendant, a bit like a waning moon, and it doesn't look out of place when worn on the body.
After receiving two major gifts in a row, Shen Qian had long forgotten to explore why he appeared here. He just looked at King Taiyi eagerly and looked forward to the last major gift.
After all, the finale is usually the best.
King Taiyi did not observe Shen Qian this time, but directly waved his hand. In Shen Qian's stunned eyes, eight big mechanical hands suddenly appeared around him.
"The last gift is a custom, but you won't refuse it if you think about it. Your Yuan Power is reborn and is being tempered. May you break out of your cocoon and transform into a dragon, soaring into the nine heavens!"
As King Taiyi let out a long laugh, the eight mechanical arms suddenly grabbed the defenseless Shen Qian from all angles.
His head, hands, legs... every part of his torso is controlled by mechanical arms.
Click! Click!
Then, amid the sound of gears turning, the robotic arm began to work.
First, some liquid was injected into his body, and then Shen Qian felt like he had turned into plasticine, being kneaded at will by the mechanical arms.
In the intense pain, the energy flowing in Shen Qian's body was constantly splitting and reorganizing.
The same goes for Shen Qian's body, which is constantly breaking apart and reborn amidst the splatter of blood.
"It hurts..."
Shen Qian almost screamed, but he realized that this might be a great opportunity, so he forcibly held back the pain and allowed Doudai's sweat to flow.
The system's energy was running low, and Shen Qian had to use it sparingly.
Fortunately, after all, he is no longer the frail boy he was before, and has made great progress in his character. This pain is not a big problem.
It seemed like a long time. When Shen Qian finally put his consciousness back together, he realized that the transformation had ended at some point.
He looked at his new skin that was "breakable by blows" and was filled with emotions for a moment.
When the transformation was in its later stages, he had already realized what King Taiyi's final gift was.
His Yuan Power and his body have undergone some kind of evolution.
In short, it is assumed that the mass of his Yuan Li was 1 before, but now after some tempering, it has become 1.2 or even 1.3.
The direct consequence is an increase in combat power.
His realm remains unchanged, but he is stronger than people of the same level.
Shen Qian has not really set foot in the mountains and seas yet, and he does not know what the transformation of Yuanli means to the warriors of the mountains and seas.
But since this is the ultimate gift from the Divine Machine Palace, and it is also the unchanging practice, then it must be an extremely precious gift.
Even more gratifying is the physical transformation.
Although with the wisdom of the system, Shen Qian used a method that was almost cheating to turn his vitality into strength and possess a spiritual core at the middle martial artist stage, he did not receive the true baptism of Daohai after all.
The only thing he lacked was his body.
This was especially obvious when fighting against Jiang Chengye.
He slashed Jiang Chengye ten times, but Jiang Chengye was still able to jump around. As long as Jiang Chengye scratched him, he would vomit blood and fly backwards.
If it weren't for the protection of the armor, he would only be injured more seriously.
Before undergoing the transformation just now, Shen Qian's shoulder blades were still in a state of shattering, and he could hardly lift his hands.
But now, after some tempering, his body has made a qualitative leap. Even if it is not as good as the real mountains and seas, it is not far behind.
"It's a pity that there is no physical testing machine here. I don't know how much strength I have now..."
Feeling the terrifying power surging like a volcano in his body, Shen Qian, who was reborn, could hardly help but look up to the sky and scream.
This trip to heaven finally ended in the Divine Machine Hall, which made up for all the shortcomings and was perfect.
The physical body is up to standard, the spirit is up to standard, Yuan Li is up to standard... As long as he is equipped with a "Tao", there is no difference between him and the real mountains and seas.
The only difference is the realm of reality.
In other words, his potential will be beyond anyone's imagination.
Even at this moment, Shen Qian can't help but think about how his Yuanli will transform into when he truly sets foot in the mountains and seas and is baptized by the Dao Sea again!
"Hahahaha, who is the peak...who is the peak!"
Shen Qian, who was full of pride for a moment, couldn't help laughing and read the second poem again.
At this time, perhaps because the gift was completed, King Taiyi's figure slowly dissipated into the void.
With a flash of white light, Shen Qian, who looked up to the sky and laughed, appeared outside the Divine Machine Hall again.
Right in front of him stood a very familiar figure.
"Haha...huh?"
Shen Qian, who was laughing, caught sight of the young man in front of him from the corner of his eye. He was confused and his laughter stopped.
The young man who was originally as serious as water was also stunned when he saw Shen Qian's appearance.
The air seemed stagnant.
The two stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they could see the disbelief in each other's expressions.
"Shen Qian?"
"Lao Liu?"
