The more Shen Qian thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
First, Wu Dinghou sent a jar of unknown liquid, and then Wu Wei placed an Ancestral Dragon Reverse Scale in the temporary treasure house. This clearly showed some inevitable connection.
Moreover, Wu Wei also sent a book of cultivation experience so thoughtfully, which is already a hint.
Shen Qian roughly calculated that he had about 67,000 Nine Heaven Tokens, which meant that he could only choose two treasures on the last row of jade platforms.
After a while, Shen Qian made a decision.
"Principal, I want this Ancestral Dragon Nilin, and I'll exchange it for King Yan Ling's Heavenly Palace Spiritual Stone. There are almost 10,000 Nine Heavenly Tokens left, and I should be able to exchange them for some rare mixtures."
After thinking for a while, Shen Qian said to Uncle Pingyang beside him.
"you sure?"
Uncle Pingyang frowned at first, but after looking at Shen Qian for a moment, he seemed to understand something, and his brows relaxed, "That's okay."
Shen Qian saw that no further explanation was needed and he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he thought about it and it was right. With Uncle Pingyang's wisdom, he would definitely know that there was something fishy in it as long as he thought about it carefully.
"That……"
Shen Qian was about to speak, but suddenly he noticed that the expressions of Ping Yangbo and Yu Shousi changed at the same time.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Qian sensed something was wrong, and just as he asked, Uncle Pingyang's figure had disappeared directly into the space of consciousness.
"Director Yu, what happened?"
Shen Qian quickly grabbed Yu Shousi who also wanted to run away.
"You didn't receive the message?"
Yu Shousi was surprised at first, and then suddenly said, "Have you not gone to the Martial Arts Association to be certified by Shanhai?"
Shen Qian was startled when he heard this, "I haven't had time yet, do you have any explanation?"
"Then hurry up and go there. I'll explain to you later. I'll take the first step."
Yu Shou waved his hand and ignored Shen Qian's attempts to stay. His figure blurred for a while and then disappeared.
What the hell?
Shen Qian was a little helpless, but couldn't say anything.
The last time he went to the martial arts association was when he was certified as a middle martial artist. Since then, his level has been soaring. Although certified high martial artists and Shan Hai will receive very practical cash rewards, how can Shen Qian value that little money?
Now listening to the meaning of Yu Shousi's words, I'm afraid that there should be something behind the certification of Shanhai warriors that Shen Qian didn't know about.
Although he didn't know what happened that could alarm Yu Shousi and Ping Yangbo at the same time, Shen Qian then thought about it. If it was something that neither of them could solve, he was afraid there was nothing he could do.
Shaking his head, Shen Qian gathered his mind and directly called up the exchange panel in his consciousness space.
An Ancestral Dragon Reverse Scale, a Tianque Spiritual Stone, eight bottles of rare mixture covering all aspects of the body...
In the end, there were about 2,000 Jiutian Tokens left. After much deliberation, Shen Qian found that there were no treasures he could use anymore, so he simply exchanged them for four more Martial Arts Tokens.
Everyone he met praised the Vientiane Tower to great effect, so it was always a good idea to stock up on a few extra martial arts tokens.
After completing the exchange, Shen Qian directly exited the consciousness space.
Those treasures are just virtual projections, and someone from the martial arts department will send them to them only after Shen Qian confirms the exchange, but Shen Qian estimates that he should be able to get them today.
To transport these treasures, ordinary warriors are definitely not qualified, and they must start from mountains and seas.
With the speed of a mountain and sea powerhouse and the specific mode of transportation, it is only ordinary to cross several provinces in one day.
After disconnecting the consciousness of the temporary bracelet and returning to reality, Shen Qian was still standing in the empty Jiangzhong Junwu No. 1 Martial Arts Gym, but there was a burst of noise outside.
Realizing that something big had happened, Shen Qian hurriedly left the martial arts hall.
As soon as I saw it, many Jiangzhong Junwu students had gathered on the playground outside the martial arts hall, and more people were running out of the room. Everyone on the playground was shocked, pointing to the sky and talking about something.
Shen Qian also raised his head and saw an extremely shocking scene.
Although Jiangzhong Junwu is not within the coverage of Jiangzhou City's weather system, it also has an independent formation to shield the bad weather in the restricted area, but at this time, it can block the celestial phenomena (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 439 Mutation
The formation seemed to have failed.
There were dark and violent dark clouds that stretched for an unknown number of miles, with no end in sight. According to Shen Qian's estimation, even Jiangzhou City must be within the scope of these dark clouds.
It is normal for dark clouds to appear in the restricted area. What is abnormal is that within the dark clouds, there are dark python-like mist surging.
They are like sores in the sky, spreading thousands of miles away, shocking.
Just behind the black mist, from a higher place, you can vaguely see twinkling stars. If Shen Qian hadn't had extremely strong eyesight, he might not have been able to notice them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Vaguely, as the black mist surged, huge dull roars could be heard.
This roar was somewhat like the sound it made when the Nine Heavens Battlefield revealed its true colors, but it was much louder and more distant. It was hard to tell whether it came from above or from thousands of miles away.
"Everyone, look at the bracelet, my classmate Hua Wu has also posted it to Moments, and they can actually see it there too!"
Amidst the noisy discussion, Shen Qian suddenly heard someone exclaiming loudly.
His heart moved, and he quickly took out his bracelet.
After coming out of Jiutian Battlefield, Shen Qian maintained the silent mode for several days because there were too many calls and messages. When he took out his bracelet and looked at it, he realized that in just this moment, his bracelet had been in silent mode. dozens or hundreds of messages.
There were messages from parents, relatives and friends in Jingcheng, as well as Wei Sijian in Beidu, Cao Qian in Shanghai, and Zhao Keyi who returned to his hometown on the island to visit relatives...
Everyone was asking Shen Qian if he had seen any visions in the sky, and some were asking Shen Qian for news.
As the youngest mountain and sea warrior in China and the number one genius among Chinese martial arts high school students, many people subconsciously think that Shen Qian has access to more inside information.
Shen Qian took another look online and saw that all the major forums and short video apps were exploding, with people discussing this "change in heaven and earth" that happened in an instant.
Maybe because everything happened so fast, there is no official explanation yet.
"The sudden disappearance of Pingyang Bo and Yu Shousi should be due to this incident. It seems that some warning information should have been released among the groups above the mountains and seas..."
Shen Qian thought for a while and called Shi Dingyan.
It took several calls before the call was connected. After Shi Dingyan picked up the phone, he didn't talk too much and said directly: "Do you want to ask what's going on in the sky?"
"Yes, does Third Senior Brother know what happened?" Shen Qian heard the sound of wind coming from Shi Dingyan's side, and it was obvious that he was not indoors, so he hurriedly said.
"It's not clear yet. I just received an early warning from the Ministry of Martial Arts and am currently patrolling outside Jingcheng."
Shi Dingyan didn't hide it either.
It suddenly dawned on Shen Qian that no wonder Yu Shousi and others left in a hurry. They must have been performing some kind of duties under the instructions of the Martial Arts Department.
"Apart from the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, are there no other abnormalities?" Shen Qian was still puzzled.
The restricted area had always given him the impression of chaos and disorder. This was the first time Shen Qian had seen such unified dark clouds stretching for thousands of miles.
"As far as I know, no, but... this may be just a sign."
Shi Dingyan pondered for a moment and then said slowly.
"Omen?" Shen Qian was startled, "What do you mean?"
"Similar phenomena occurred more than a hundred years ago." Shi Dingyan said.
"More than a hundred years ago?" Shen Qian frowned, and then thought of something. He couldn't help but trembled, and said in shock, "Seven stars in a row, ten doors opened?"
This is a period of history that has been skipped over in textbooks. Shen Qian first learned about it from Qu Bai.
Just one hundred and twelve years ago, the human race faced a great disaster, and ten "doors" with the worst grades of B and above were opened at the same time.
That sudden change changed so many things. According to Qu Bai, the Zhulong who once swallowed up Lu Cheng also appeared in that disaster.
"I'm not completely sure, because although there were phenomena of heaven and earth more than a hundred years ago, they could only be seen along the Yellow River Basin. It has never affected the whole of China like this (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 439 Mutation
Had. "
There was a hint of heaviness in Shi Dingyan's words, "Maybe..."
Maybe Shi Dingyan didn't say anything, Shen Qian just raised his head again. This time, with the golden light passing through his eyes, Shen Qian directly activated the Eye of Truth.
His eyes seemed to penetrate all barriers and directly see the essence of the black mist.
The black mist is composed of a kind of strange pitch-black particles. Although it is far away and Shen Qian doesn't know what these pitch-black particles are, Shen Qian can feel the strong tearing power contained in them.
His gaze continued to penetrate upwards, and soon passed through the black mist, crossed the heavy dark clouds, and reached the top of the atmosphere.
Here, you can have an unobstructed view of the vast starry sky.
But Shen Qian took a breath of cold air.
Because in the starry sky, at a glance, there are hundreds of stars emitting bright light at this moment. They are like strong lights controlled by some kind of switch, constantly alternating between darkness and brightness.
That rhythm...is very much like human breathing.
And every time they shine brightly, they will overwhelm the other stars in the star field.
"one two three……"
Shen Qian counted them subconsciously, and then his heart became even heavier.
A total of one hundred and eight stars!
If what Shi Dingyan said is true, and this is really an early warning of some kind of disaster, and it is similar to the "Seven Stars in a row" 112 years ago, does that mean that this will be an even greater catastrophe? ?
Seven consecutive stars lead to the opening of ten doors. What will the one hundred and eight stars bring?
Shen Qian couldn't imagine it.
He looked at the star field in front of him again. The one hundred and eight dark and bright stars were scattered in it. After zooming out, they vaguely formed a strange pattern.
Shen Qian didn't know what the pattern was, but after staring at it for a long time, he began to feel pain in his mind and his consciousness began to blur.
Sensing the danger, Shen Qian did not dare to look any further. He kept the pattern firmly in his heart, then closed his eyes and returned to his body with an almost wandering consciousness.
After the feeling of weightlessness that was like falling from a building, Shen Qian opened his eyes again and staggered briefly.
Shi Dingyan's phone call was hung up at some point, and military professors began to appear in the square, evacuating the gathered students.
Shen Qian saw this and did not stay any longer. If this was really just a sign, then it is estimated that there would be no new changes in a short time.
…
Time passed in the evening.
In Villa No. 7 on the Wunan campus of Jiang Zhongjun, Shen Qian stood on the rooftop, looking at the night sky that had regained its tranquility in a daze.
After the commotion at noon lasted for more than half an hour, Jiangzhong Junwu's independent weather formation was restored.
The affected weather systems across the country were gradually repaired in the following hours, but Shen Qian knew that this did not mean that the strange phenomena in the sky had disappeared, but that ordinary people could no longer see the real sky. Just a sight.
Within the field of vision of Shen Qian's Eye of Truth, the sky outside the formation was still shrouded in black mist. After only half a day, the black mist had become thicker and even dyed the entire sky into a strange darkness. color.
In this regard, the statement issued by the Ministry of Martial Arts and the Ministry of Civil Affairs only explained that it was a weather change caused by the passage of a comet, and asked ordinary people not to panic.
There are still heated discussions on the Internet, but most people tend to believe the official conclusion. Only a small number of warriors who have reached a certain level are worried, but few people will jump out to explain the truth. Even if there are similar posts, they will basically escape. However, the result of "404" is within three seconds.
Shen Qian tried to contact many big guys he knew, but he couldn't get in touch with them, so Shen Qian had no choice but to give up.
Of course, he also knew that even if he did contact him, he would probably not get any clear answer.
Shen Qian was a little uneasy.
Perhaps it was because he had already half-stepped into the realm of princes. Things like the crisis of the human race, which he had previously thought were far away, seemed to have some kind of personal connection at this moment.
"Whether there is really a so-called catastrophe or not (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 439 Mutation
, it’s always right to improve one’s own strength. "
Shen Qian took a deep breath and focused his attention on the treasures in front of him again.
As expected by Shen Qian, the efficiency of the Martial Arts Department was not delayed by today's strange phenomenon. Before dinner, the commissioner from the Martial Arts Department delivered all the items exchanged by Shen Qian to his hands.
The martial arts order has been put away by Shen Qian, and now there are an ancient jade slip, a metal box sealed with strict runes, and an ordinary wooden box in front of Shen Qian.
The wooden box contains the Heavenly Palace Spirit Stone, and the metal box contains the Ancestral Dragon's Reverse Scale.
But Shen Qian was not very interested in these two things now. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the jade slip.
This is the summary of martial arts experience that Wu Wei presented to him.
Originally, Shen Qian didn't have high expectations, but when he opened the jade slip just now, the result was completely beyond expectations.
His fingers touched the jade slip again, and as his mental power gathered, the scene in front of Shen Qian began to change.
Wu Wei, who was standing with his hands behind his back, reappeared in front of Shen Qian. The first words he spoke made Shen Qian's calm state of mind ripple again.
"Mountains and seas are the beginning of martial arts!"
"However, there have been countless people before me, but no one has explored its end!"
Wu Wei stopped here.
"What is the end?" Shen Qian answered in an interesting tone.
"Life has an upper limit, and genes have shackles. The ancients called it the "Lock of the Divine Forbidden City." Every time one of the locks is unlocked, and another level of heaven is crossed, the end of the nine prohibitions is the end!"
Even though he had heard it just now, Shen Qian's heart was still swaying.
Yes, this is why he attaches so much importance to this jade slip.
Because for the first time, he knew that the forbidden realm... also had the ninth level!
