The next day, Qin Tian again opened his eyes when he heard the sound of three eagles echoing over the sky.

As he opened his eyes, he saw three eagles descending towards him.

The people who were on top of the eagles' backs were naturally the Yuan trio.

As their eagles landed, they immediately jumped to the ground before walking towards him.

They then cupped their fists when they arrived in front of him. "Young master." They greeted with respect.

Hu Lei's orders caused them to treat him with great respect, but there was another reason they behaved that way. It was because a few days ago he had given each of them a cultivation technique.

Although the cultivation technique he gave them was not something precious in his eyes, but in their eyes, it was the best cultivation technique because even the best cultivation techniques in the sect could not be compared to the cultivation techniques he gave them. Even the other sects around the sect didn't have any cultivation techniques at that level.

The Yuan trio were respectful of him mostly because they wanted more techniques from him but apart from that, they also had doubts about his identity.

"Mm," Qin Tian nodded. "Not bad, you guys managed to break through after a few days."

Previously, Yuan Yu and Yuan Li's cultivations were at the fourth layer but now both of them had already broken through to the fifth layer while Yuan Ji managed to break through to the sixth layer of spiritual warriors.

"It is thanks to you, young master." Answer them.

"Then, will that place be open now?" Qin Tian then asked.

"Yes," Yuan Ji replied.

"We managed to get the elders to let us lead the junior disciples into that place, so, we can later assist you in that place."

"Um, good job. Now take me over there."

"Please." Yuan Ji then stretched out both hands to invite him.

...

The place they were aiming for was the river in the middle of the mountain.

There are many parts of the river that look a little different. And the part of the river that they go to, it looks different because the water is constantly turning. And it looks quite dangerous.

But even though the water in the river looked dangerous, Qin Tian who was far above the air could feel the extremely pure and subtle spiritual energy from the water.

"There must be something that caused the water to be like that." He thought.

Next to him, Yuan Ji also spoke. "The sect wants to add more spiritual warriors because in the next three months, the sects in the Thousand Mountains province will go to the tomb of a Saint."

"It is the tomb of Saint Ming who was the previous ruler of the Thousand Mountains province."

"The Ming clan actually doesn't want anyone other than them to enter the tomb, but they also can't do anything because the tomb is not in their territory. And Saint Ming himself made his tomb accessible to anyone."

"It is said that there are many treasures in the tomb. There are even rumors that there is an object that contains an 'emperor aura' there."

"Mm." Qin Tian only changed his expression after he heard the words 'emperor aura'.

With Heaven's Will, an Emperor could be said to have a boundless spiritual aura. Even anything an emperor casually touched would leave an 'emperor aura' within.

It might only be a tiny speck of aura in an emperor's eyes, but it was enough to threaten even an Ancient Saint as long as it was unleashed.

Imperial treasures might only be possessed by people related to the emperor, but there were quite a number of items that contained the 'emperor aura' in the sixteen heavens.

Those items might not be very attractive in the eyes of the Paragons, but under Paragon, even Ancient Saints would fight over them.

"Looks like I'll have to go there later. But the tomb of a Saint, even Sovereigns would definitely visit it. I need to at least become a Spiritual Master first. And if I can open at least two of the nine divine symbols, even Sovereigns might not be able to harm me as long as they haven't opened a single one of their divine symbols."

The reason why the nine divine symbols were so important was because only opening one of the nine divine symbols could already increase one's strength to nearly a realm or even more.

"By the way." Qin Tian said as he looked at the river below. "Do you know what makes the river turn?" He asked.

"Mm." Yuan Ji immediately showed a confused expression. "Actually no one knows what caused it. Even the sect master might not know what caused it to happen."

"Oh, I see." Qin Tian nodded. He wasn't that surprised if even the sect master was clueless.

From what he had heard, the sect was founded two thousand years ago by the previous sect master. And the strongest expert in the sect was only an early stage spiritual Lord.

But the river existed long before the sect was founded, and no one knows how many people and experts had stopped by the river.

One era sometimes lasts fifty thousand years. While there was only one emperor for each era, there was too much that could happen among the weaker people.

"Maybe there's a weapon that's quite powerful down there." Qin Tian guessed. That was his biggest guess because usually only weapons could last long enough.

....

They landed on the riverbank not long after.

When they arrived, there were already hundreds of junior disciples gathered there.

In front of them, Qin Tian had no other choice but to stand behind Yuan Ji and act like a humble servant.

And Yuan Ji and the other two naturally returned their arrogant expressions in front of them.

The junior disciples greeted them but the three of them only nodded with indifferent expressions.

"Follow us, we will lead you into that place." Yuan Ji said.

"Wait." Right after Yuan Ji spoke, a shout suddenly came from above.

Everyone immediately turned their gazes towards the sky and they saw an eagle descending rapidly towards them. There was a 17 year old youth on the back of the eagle.

"Yue Yang, what are you doing here?" Yuan Ji narrowed his eyes when he saw that it was Yue Yang.

...

"I'll come with you!" Yue Yang replied with an indifferent expression after he jumped off his eagle's back.

"Apart from us, only junior disciples are allowed in, if you also come in, there will be no spiritual energy left for them." Yuan Ji looked displeased as he spoke.

"Hmph." Yue Yang snorted. "Do you think I went there to cultivate."

"For what else?"

"That's not something you have to know, hurry up and open up that place." He said in a commanding tone.

"Yue Yang." Yuan Lu who was standing beside Yuan Ji shouted in an angry tone. "We are your seniors, please behave with respect."

"Senior." Yue Yang showed an expression of disgust. "Do you think you are worthy of being my seniors."

"Oh, it turns out that you guys just broke through. Come on if you want to fight."

"You think I'm afraid of you." Yuan Lu was about to rush forward, but he stopped when he heard Qin Tian speaking via voice transmission. "Let him." Said Qin Tian.

"Hmph." He in the end could only snort at Yue Yang.

"I will definitely beat you up after this." He says.

If it had been before, he knew he wouldn't be able to match Yue Yang even if his cultivation was two or three layers higher. But after cultivating with the cultivation technique given by Qin Tian, ​​his fighting strength had also increased so much that he was sure he could beat Yue Yang.
