The live broadcast of the Nine-Day Controversy was suddenly cut off, which was an unacceptable thing for the vast majority of people.
Although they may not be able to tell the difference between princes and mountains and seas, nor do they know the nature of the Nine Heavens War, they still clearly saw that Shen Qian cut off the arms of hundreds of people.
There was a lot of noise online. Some people were cursing, some couldn't bear it, some people were shouting happily, and some people were silently worried.
Shi Dingyan looked away from the dazed figure by the window of the hotel suite in the distance, and then sighed: "She still refuses to put down that Pad..."
"Eighth Junior Sister seems to have a weak temperament, but once she identifies something, she can easily fall headlong into it."
Ling Xiao, who stood side by side with Shi Dingyan, frowned and stared into the distance, and said calmly, "Let her be."
At this moment, the two of them were on the tallest tower in the Magic City. At a glance, it seemed that the world was unobstructed, except for... the twisted area shrouded in fog on the edge of the East China Sea.
The two of them didn't even dare to use their mental power to explore. There were many princes in that area, and there was even the legendary existence of King Zhou Yi. No one knew what the consequences would be if they rashly explored the spiritual power.
"Still worried?"
Shi Dingyan glanced at Ling Xiao's face and then smiled.
"Why are you so relieved?"
Ling Xiao asked back, with a worried look on his face, "Yes, although the second senior sister is guarding there and the fourth senior brother is also in the dark, but... they are not princes after all."
"Are you worried that the prince will interfere in the Nine Heavens War?"
"Humph, isn't this obvious?"
Ling Xiao hummed, "The outside world only knows that my junior brother is extremely talented, but only you and I know how terrifying he is. If you ask me, I'm afraid that the current Lao Liu is no longer his match."
"Every tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, not to mention that my junior brother has obviously embarked on a 'path' that would rather bend than bend. Who knows how many enemies he has made in the past nine days?"
"Needless to say, Duke Yanshan and Duke Tianning, who have no good impressions of my junior brother, and King Zhou Yi, who single-handedly led the Nine Heavens War, are not kind-hearted people either..."
"Ling Xiao!" Shi Dingyan frowned and interrupted Ling Xiao's analysis, "Don't make irresponsible remarks about the Nine Kings. This is a tacit understanding... What's more, the relationship between the teacher and King Zhou Yi cannot be said to be good, but it has never been bad."
"Not bad?" Ling Xiao sneered, "Don't think I don't know. Any prince can enter Teacher's Tower of Babel, but only King Zhou Yi has been shut out. Is this called a good relationship?"
"How do you know?" Shi Dingyan was obviously surprised.
"It's a coincidence." Ling Xiao said after being silent for a while, "I accidentally heard it from the four elders of the academy..."
Shi Dingyan was obviously stunned, and after a while he sighed: "It is true, but the reason is probably not simple. Although I don't know the truth completely, but you can rest assured that King Zhou Yi will never target Shen Qian. …”
After a pause, Shi Dingyan added firmly: "At least it won't be on the nine-day battlefield, and at least it won't end in person."
"Why?"
Ling Xiao frowned, as if he noticed something was wrong, and turned his head to look directly at Shi Dingyan.
"If I remember correctly, before leaving, you were clearly the most worried about my junior brother. Why are you the most indifferent now?"
Ling Xiao stared at Shi Dingyan closely, trying to find out what was in his eyes.
Marquis Jingcheng now has nine disciples, and senior brother Jiang Huan followed his teacher more than 170 years ago.
When Jiang Huan became famous in the world, he was already hailed as the number one genius of the younger generation, but his past and background were extremely mysterious.
Second Senior Sister Cheng Qingqing is also nowhere to be found, but Ling Xiao knows some secrets about Second Senior Sister.
For example, Second Senior Sister seemed to have grown up in Changbai Mountain, a restricted area, and was later adopted by a teacher, but strangely, she was not a scavenger...
Next we go to Shi Dingyan.
Ling Xiao started learning forty-nine years ago, and Shi Dingyan started learning earlier than him, probably more than a hundred years ago.
Although the fourth senior brother Wu Jun entered the school after Shi Dingyan, Ling Xiao was extremely certain that among these five people, only he and Shi Dingyan's origins were clear and did not contain any water.
Both of them are modern people after the revival of spiritual energy.
He is a true new martial artist who has received modern martial arts education and grown up under various opportunities.
Leaving aside Lao Liu, in fact, among all the brothers, Ling Xiao and Shi Dingyan are the most naturally topical.
But... Shi Dingyan's lifestyle is the closest to that of the ancients.
He drank tea, played chess, wrote, painted, played the piano... On the seventeenth floor of the Babel Tower, Shi Dingyan's spacious residence, nearly one third of which was filled with various ancient books.
Not only the way he speaks, but even the way he dresses, only Shi Dingyan is closer to the ancient style.
Even more ancient than the Eighth Junior Sister, who is probably a real ancient person from ancient times.
As time passed, Ling Xiao probably guessed some of Shi Dingyan's state of mind.
This can also be seen from the last "Xuehai" opening. Shi Dingyan actually won the title of "Zhongcheng".
That is one of the most difficult degrees among the three thousand literary degrees.
His plans are big, but his goals are clear.
That goal is the teacher.
Among the many senior brothers, Shi Dingyan was not the first to get started, but he was the one who stayed with Gao Wenyuan the longest.
He admired him extremely, and he also wanted to...become him.
Although the teacher had warned him overtly or covertly, Shi Dingyan ignored it.
Later, the teacher stopped mentioning it.
Ling Xiao sighed, but he didn't understand. The higher the realm, the more he realized how unfathomable Gao Wenyuan was. Shi Dingyan chose the wrong path from the beginning.
Not to mention, he still has a knot in his heart that he still can't untie.
But one thing is for sure.
Although Ling Xiao felt that Shi Dingyan's "Tao" was destined to have no end, his knowledge was the most profound among the nine.
This knowledge includes not only knowledge, but also knowledge, secret history, and many secrets that are not recorded in books at all, but are only passed down orally in specific fields.
Therefore, at this moment, seeing Shi Dingyan saying so firmly that "King Zhou Yi will not interfere in the Nine Heavens Controversy", Ling Xiao became acutely aware that Shi Dingyan might also know something else.
"Don't look at me like that."
Shi Dingyan's eyes were deep, "I heard the teacher mention this by chance, but for some reason, I only slowly thought about it in the past few days."
"You still have things that you can't remember clearly?" Ling Xiao was surprised.
In the realm of mountains and seas, as long as you are willing, you can push away the memory palace in your mind at any time. If you really want to, you can even remember what you ate and how it tasted on a certain day.
If it was something important, it would be even less likely to be forgotten.
"Do you want to listen or not?"
Shi Dingyan did not respond to Ling Xiao's question, but said helplessly.
"certainly."
"Nine Heavens Battlefield is actually a ruins in itself, you know that, right?"
"Well, I have heard it before. It is said that for this competition of the younger generation, King Zhou Yi spent a lot of effort to collect many fragments, and the teacher also contributed some... It is said to be passed down from ancient times?"
Ling Xiao nodded.
"It's not just about ancient times, it's even further away. It's so far away that you can't find any written records at all. Maybe there are only some garbled stone carvings."
Shi Dingyan said leisurely, "And the Nine Heavens battlefield has its own will."
"This will almost surpasses that of most princes..."
"How is this possible?" Ling Xiao didn't believe it. "I believe you said that the Nine Heavens battlefield has its own will, but at what level are the princes and princes? Can the consciousness condensed from the fragments of the battlefield be superior to them?"
"Then have you ever thought about why the Nine Heavens Conflict was brewed by the Martial Arts Department several years ago, but it was not successfully launched until King Zhou Yi returned not long ago? Is it really because only King Zhou Yi can preside over this competition? "
Shi Dingyan had a mysterious smile on his face, "Is Minister Wu not qualified? Is Wu Dinghou not qualified?"
"Why?" Ling Xiao was startled.
"Because only King Zhou Yi can suppress those princes, because not every prince will be like the teacher and hand over the fragments in his hands without any hesitation." Shi Dingyan said.
"What do you mean?" Ling Xiao became more and more confused, "What kind of magic power do those fragments have that can make the prince reluctant to let go?"
"Because among the many existing princes, there are too many to mention. I know of at least two or three people who became princes by understanding these fragments..."
Shi Dingyan smiled and finally solved the mystery.
Ling Xiao's body trembled and he was stunned.
"The fragment...makes you a prince?"
If he hadn't been familiar with Shi Dingyan's temperament, Ling Xiao would have almost couldn't help shouting nonsense.
But he finally held back and just looked at Shi Dingyan, waiting for him to continue.
Fortunately, Shi Dingyan didn't keep tempting Ling Xiao, but just stared at the misty world.
"The 'Gate' has been around for more than two hundred years, and military warriors and the martial arts department have been painstakingly studying the secrets of the 'Gate'. But to this day, there are still many mysteries that cannot be solved. For example, how can we carve out an independent territory?" And a stable real space..."
"Don't try to use your space ring to quarrel with me. How big is the largest space ring? Is it comparable to the Nine Heavens Battlefield?"
Ling Xiao was about to open his mouth just now, but Shi Dingyan predicted it in advance and had to remain silent.
"Even among the many secret realms, except for the two six-star ones and the Vientiane Tower built with the power of almost all princes from around the world, the rest are only half-illusion and half-real. They are still not on the same level as the Nine Heavens Battlefield!"
Shi Dingyan's face gradually became serious.
"The nine-day battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people are fighting at this moment is just a collection of fragments, but it is already so vast and magical."
"What method is this?"
"To put it more seriously, this is the way the gods created the world!"
"Then...by understanding some of these fragments and becoming a prince, do you still think it's not possible?"
Ling Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally had to nod slowly.
"It is indeed possible."
"That's it...think about it. Since the level of this will is so high, how can a prince get involved in it?"
Shi Dingyan shook his head, "Of course, with the realm of King Zhou Yi, there may be some possibilities, but it must be possible to go all out to influence one or two. This is the teacher's exact words."
"So, once King Zhou Yi does that and interferes with the will of this level, he will break his own way of 'not being affected by cause and effect'. This is why you are sure that he will not take action."
Ling Xiao murmured.
"Teacher is not a decoration. King Zhou Yi will have some scruples."
Shi Dingyan nodded and added another sentence.
"But in this case, with my junior brother's strength, it should be more than enough to protect himself, let alone kill him. Why is there still a prophecy of 'nine escapes'?"
Ling Xiao had already relaxed, but suddenly thought of something and asked.
This time it was Shi Dingyan's turn to be silent, and the previous determination and indifference seemed to have disappeared.
"Third Senior Brother, what else is there?" Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, "Now that I've said it, let's finish it in one breath!"
Shi Dingyan took a deep breath, "Because I feel that the real danger to Junior Brother may not come from other geniuses."
"What on earth are you talking about?" Ling Xiao began to feel a little unable to control his anger.
"Because the teacher once said more about the Nine Heavens World."
Shi Dingyan said, "This is the highest battlefield used by gods of all races to train the younger generation during a heyday in ancient times!"
"What are the nine heavens? It is said that there are nine fields in the sky. The center is called Juntian, the east is called Cangtian, the northeast is called Biantian, the north is called Xuantian, the northwest is called Youtian, the west is called Haotian, the southwest is called Zhutian, and the south is called Yantian. The southeast is called Yangtian!"
"Since you want to ascend to heaven, you have to endure the disaster!"
"The so-called 'Heavenly Tribulation' actually originated from the Nine Heavens Battlefield, but it was only later that it was slowly extended to other meanings..."
"So what you mean is..." Ling Xiao digested it for a while, then said uncertainly, "If my junior brother has any disaster, maybe it comes from the battlefield itself?"
"Yeah, but I can put this worry aside for now."
As he spoke, Shi Dingyan regained some of his relaxed expression, "I have been paying attention to the situation since the Nine Heavens War began. From the current point of view, the Nine Heavens Battlefield is just a fragment after all, and I am afraid that many of the mysteries have been degraded. "
"Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, except for some preset opportunities and scattered forbidden areas, I can't see anything special."
"Even the world behind any B-level 'door' is more dangerous than it, so I don't have to worry, little junior brother."
Seeing Shi Dingyan smiling easily, Ling Xiao nodded, and the solemnity that had just risen in his heart was dissipated.
Just as he was about to ask, the heaven and earth suddenly roared.
The roar was so loud that it could be clearly heard throughout the Demon City and even further afield.
Shi Dingyan and Ling Xiao were stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at the area shrouded in fog.
As if under a strong tremor, the fog was briefly dispersed, revealing a layered world that loomed between heaven and earth.
And as the world rolled and reversed at an astonishing degree, as if a huge, precision-operated machine was returning to its original position little by little, a vast, majestic and indifferent voice also sounded between heaven and earth.
"Sixth Level Xuantian, Qi!"
In an instant, both Shi Dingyan and Ling Xiao's expressions changed drastically.
