"Minister, where exactly is Xuehai?"
Listening to Wu Wei's solemn words, Shen Qian had to re-evaluate his understanding of Xuehai.
Because in Shen Qian's previous impression, Liu Changqing already had a "literary position" before he became a scholar, so this study should not be a dangerous place.
Even Lao Liu, who was weak in his youth, was able to succeed. Shen Qian was at least sure of his success, not to mention that he could capture him easily.
But Wu Wei couldn't let everything go, which meant that Xuehai was probably not as simple as he thought.
"Xuehai is actually the earliest secret realm established by human warriors. It was long before the Vientiane Tower and long before the spiritual energy was revived. If we really want to trace it back, it was probably when the human race just migrated to the 'Yuan Di'."
Wu Wei waved his hand, and an image flashed in mid-air. It was a record of "Xuehai" on a stone slab buried deep in the ground, and it was written in ancient times.
"Some scholars say that the prototype of Xuehai is one of the secret realms left by Empress Nuwa during the Chaos Period. Others say that Xuehai was jointly established by the earliest top princes of the human race, but for some unknown reason, it accidentally incorporated a ray of chaos power. , thus various mutations occurred..."
Wu Wei explained, "But no matter what, Xuehai has been unable to be controlled by strong humans for thousands of years. We can only forcefully open a passage to it within a certain period based on the secret records left by the sages."
"The power of chaos?"
Shen Qian was surprised. He never thought that Xuehai still hid this legendary supreme power. He was a little surprised when he just heard that Xuehai was a secret realm that the human race could not control. Now it makes sense.
After all, even the powerful emperor has not understood the secrets of chaos.
Suddenly, Shen Qian's heart moved, "Could it be that the power of chaos that King Jiangling accidentally came into contact with..."
"Yes, I'm just studying at Xuehai."
Wu Wei nodded and warned, "What we are talking about now is almost the highest level secret of the human race and must not be spread outside."
Shen Qian solemnly agreed. The reason why all races covet the earth where the human race is is to find the "key" to chaos. If they learn that the power of chaos is hidden in the sea of learning, they will definitely fall into madness.
Of course, Shen Qian estimated that these secrets had already been leaked, just to see how many strong foreigners knew about it.
For example, Tuodong Hou, who defected, must know the secrets related to Xuehai due to his rank. If he was determined to cooperate with the Wu Clan, this secret would probably have been known to the Wu Clan.
"Although Xuehai has actually escaped the control of the human race, fortunately we can still enter it to gain benefits. Normally, Xuehai can be opened every three to five years. Except for the powerful princes who will be ostracized, others Anyone can enter regardless of their cultivation level, even ordinary people."
Wu Wei continued, "Of course, ordinary people are unlikely to survive in it, so Xuehai is only open to warriors from the middle martial arts to the mountains and seas."
"Can warriors who have entered once again be able to enter again?" Shen Qian asked.
"No, you will be rejected by Xuehai as well."
Wu Wei shook his head and said, "But even if they can enter, they won't actually have any advantage. The sea of learning is unpredictable, and the experience accumulated before will be almost useless. After so many years, we have only summarized some basic It’s just a rule.”
"Then what is it like in Xuehaili?"
Shen Qian couldn't wait to ask further.
When he heard that the power of chaos was hidden in Xuehai, Shen Qian was really interested.
"There are a total of 'nine seas' in the sea of learning."
Wu Wei didn't give in. He waved his hand again and summoned some fragmented images.
"Their positions correspond to the nine palaces in astronomy, namely Qianhai, Kanhai, Genhai, Zhenhai, Zhonghai, Xunhai, Lihai, Kunhai, and Duihai."
"The characteristics of these nine sea areas are different, so they also have some nicknames. For example, Lihai is also called the Sea of Fire. It is said that there are several kinds of rare fires hidden in the universe..."
"Except for the 'Zhonghai', which may only appear once in hundreds or thousands of years, the danger levels of other sea areas are almost the same. You only need to remember their basic information carefully and adapt accordingly."
"What's so special about this 'Zhong Hai'?"
Shen Qian couldn't help but wonder when he heard this.
"It was the 'Zhonghai' that King Jiangling entered at the beginning, and it was also there that he accidentally captured the power of chaos. Unfortunately, King Jiangling did not stay there for too long. We know very little information about 'Zhonghai'."
Wu Wei shook his head and said, "Currently, we only know that its environment is unpredictable, and in terms of the degree of danger, it is the most dangerous in the Nine Seas. You may even encounter chaotic creatures and the remains of ancient gods in it. With the astonishment of King Jiangling at the beginning, It’s so beautiful that I almost fell into it.”
"Since King Jiangling entered, Zhonghai has not appeared for more than two hundred years."
"In other words, it is unlikely that I will meet 'Zhong Hai' this time?" Shen Qian nodded slightly, endured it for a while but still did not set any flags.
Although he was very interested in the power of chaos, when he heard that even King Jiangling almost died in it, Shen Qian felt that his curiosity was not so strong.
I just don’t know where the title left by Emperor Bai was lost, let alone Zhong Hai...
"Xuehai is a very wonderful place. It is between reality and fiction. So far, we still don't know where its real coordinates are. Top princes have explored the universe but found nothing. Every time it is opened, Only then can we find it.”
Wu Wei didn't know the thoughts behind Shen Qian's rolling, and just continued, "And do you know, apart from those special elements that distinguish the nine seas, and some hidden treasures, what is the most basic composition of Xuehai?"
"I don't know. I asked several senior brothers before, but they didn't tell me due to the principle of confidentiality." Shen Qian shook his head decisively.
"It's...knowledge, endless knowledge!"
Wu Wei's expression suddenly became filled with emotion, "Before discovering the 'Sea of Learning', we never thought that the ancient sages could actually construct such an ocean purely composed of knowledge, and it actually exists in a physical form!"
"An ocean of knowledge?"
Shen Qian was also in a daze. No wonder this secret realm was called "Xuehai".
He always thought that "Xuehai" was just a symbolic title, but he didn't know that it turned out to be a literal meaning, it was really Xuehai...
"The knowledge contained in it is boundless and covers all categories. Although it cannot directly increase your cultivation, you should know that the benefits brought by some knowledge are far greater than a temporary increase in cultivation."
Wu Wei smiled slightly.
"That's true." Shen Qian nodded deeply subconsciously.
He has had countless personal experiences in this regard and has a great say.
The system will not directly increase his cultivation, but doesn't his rapid rise rely on the various "knowledge" brought by the system?
His first pot of gold came from the formula of the "body-building mixture" given by the system. It also relied on the body-building mixture, and his physical fitness began to improve rapidly, as well as those scientific training methods. I don't know how to help Shen Qian save money. How much time has been spent and how many pitfalls have been avoided...
It was also because of the knowledge that he was able to escape unscathed when he first entered Meiyuan to steal the "Tao Stone", and even dared to tease Tantai Qin.
It was because of the existence of knowledge that he was able to combine the "Arhat's Golden Body" and the "Blood Guanyin" into one and understand the "Disaster Buddha".
As he was thinking about it, Shen Qian suddenly shrank.
In fact, the scariest thing about the system is not the "on-hook mode", but the indiscriminate plundering and absorption of knowledge. Suppose that the "sea of learning" is full of knowledge and you enter with the system...
Is it possible to directly suck up the "sea of learning"?
Thinking of this possibility, Shen Qian was excited and numb at the same time, and also felt inexplicably worried.
One is worried about whether the system can withstand the energy loss caused by the rapid plundering of knowledge. The other is worried that it will cause some bad changes. After all, there are also various unknown dangers in the "sea of learning".
"Although there is boundless knowledge in the sea of learning, this knowledge also has good and bad qualities, so when you enter, remember not to be blind. Not all knowledge is suitable for you to absorb."
Perhaps it was Shen Qian's expression that made Wu Wei feel vaguely uneasy. He didn't know what this kid was planning, so he quickly warned.
"Also, absorbing too much knowledge at once will put a huge burden on your spirit. Even if you have condensed your spiritual core, this upper limit still exists!"
"Uh-huh!"
Shen Qian quickly stopped his strange expression and nodded obediently.
As for the second concern mentioned by Wu Wei, it does not exist for the system. At least for now, Shen Qian has not found any knowledge that the system cannot accommodate.
"Hey, Minister, that's not right. Since this 'sea of learning' existed in ancient times, doesn't it mean that the knowledge that was born later does not exist?"
Shen Qian suddenly thought of an obvious bug and couldn't help but ask, "If it only contains previous knowledge, how can it be worthy of the title of 'Xuehai'?"
"You are worrying too much about this."
Wu Wei shook his head and said, "The knowledge in Xuehai is always updated. Firstly, it is because the predecessors who entered will unconsciously leave various knowledge in it. It is also because of this characteristic of Xuehai. , it can be found by us periodically, and some people even speculate that this is what Xuehai did on purpose."
"Secondly, if the power of chaos really exists in the sea of learning, you must not forget the characteristics of 'chaos'..."
"Greed everything and destroy everything?" Shen Qian murmured as if he had some realization.
Extended, it means that the sea of learning can also breed all knowledge.
"So the so-called 'literary position' is actually a collection of knowledge?"
Shen Qian seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of "Wen Wei" and asked in confirmation.
"It can be understood this way." Wu Wei nodded, "Knowledge is the treasure of the sea of learning, and 'literary position' is the essence of the treasure. Regarding the formation of literary position, there are generally two forms, either it is the knowledge in the sea of learning. It will be formed automatically after long years of precipitation, or it may be that some sages took the initiative to leave behind the knowledge inheritance. Since they themselves are the extracted essence, they will evolve into special literary positions as soon as they are born."
"I see."
Shen Qian finally understood why there was a title of "White Emperor" among them. It must be the special title left by Bai Wu'an.
Judging from the attitude of King Yan Ling, it is estimated that it contains not only the knowledge inheritance of Bai Wu'an, but also other secrets, otherwise King Yan Ling would not demand that he must get this title.
"Different collections of knowledge create different literary degrees, and literary degrees are divided into three, six or nine grades, covering different fields."
Wu Wei smiled faintly, "For example, your sixth senior brother Liu Changqing received a 'Situ' title when he entered four years ago, which is an extremely rare seven-star title. If it can be fully digested, it will only be a mental loss." The growth is worth the bonus brought by the three forbidden areas, but it is a pity..."
"Is the position Lao Liu got so valuable?"
Shen Qian was startled. No wonder those decent people in Jingcheng preferred to call Liu Changqing "Liu Situ". It turned out that this forced him to get such a high degree.
"Why do you say 'a pity'?" Shen Qian then asked curiously.
"Liu Changqing's temperament is actually not suitable for this kind of literary position. 'Situ' has the power of education. To fully digest the literary position, he must perform the function of education. But do you think he is suitable for teaching and educating people?"
Wu Wei asked with a smile.
"No wonder……"
Shen Qianfan suddenly came to his senses and remembered that when Lao Liu went to No. 7 Middle School to recruit disciples, it was because of the existence of Wen Wei. He guessed that it was because Liu Changqing was unable to "find the way" at that time that he came up with the idea of Wen Wei in his body.
Later, after he broke through the mountains and seas, he never did anything similar again. It seems that he didn't pay much attention to this academic degree, which was enough to make others salivate.
"Speaking of which, the degree your teacher received also belongs to the field of education. Although I don't know which one it is, the level must be higher."
Wu Weihu sighed with emotion, "He is the only one among the powerful princes I know who has maximized the power of his literary position, and it just so happened that his literary position also matched his 'Tao', and this created The Marquis of Jingcheng is famous all over the world, but I still don’t know where the limit of his strength is.”
"Is the teacher also a teacher?"
Shen Qian was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly figured out many things he knew before.
For example, although the teacher is based in a border town, he still founded Tongtian Academy, and his number of disciples is second to none among the princes. Only Duke Yanshan accepted eight or nine disciples out of anger, while ordinary princes only accepted two or three at most. It's just passed down from one's own, most of them are single seedlings.
"What about the two positions of 'Swordsman' and 'Zhongcheng'?"
Shen Qian couldn't help but wonder when he thought about the positions of the third senior brother and the fifth senior brother.
"'Sword Envoy' is a rank in the field of swordsmanship. It only has five stars, but it is better than single-mindedness. It greatly benefits the swordsmanship. It is also because of this rank that your fifth senior brother Ling Xiao is ranked among the strongest in the mountains and seas."
Wu Wei smiled and said, "As for 'Zhongcheng', who is a six-star civil servant who controls the world's books, it has its own special features. A warrior blessed by the 'Zhongcheng' civil servant will absorb other knowledge faster."
"No wonder Third Brother is reading every day!" Shen Qian suddenly realized as he thought of Shi Dingyan's books that filled several rooms.
