Emperor Wenzhi and Huoyang Emperor were in a heated discussion, conveying earnest concern for Emperor Bahuang’s well-being, trying to persuade him to allow them to join in the endeavor. However, no matter how they articulated their pleas, Emperor Bahuang showed no sign of relenting. After all, letting them participate meant sharing the credit with them, which would severely weaken his competitive edge—something Emperor Bahuang was by no means willing to do.

“The two Princes are kind, but I still hope to handle this on my own. When I and my subordinates find ourselves at our wits’ end, then I will invite everyone to lend a hand,” Emperor Bahuang said, brushing them off before continuing down the path towards the tomb entrance with his followers. Emperor Wenzhi and Huoyang Emperor, having failed to sway him, said no more. In the past, such a situation might have led to enmity, but with Qi Tian above them, none dared to harbor ill will over this matter; they simply treated it as an episode.

As Emperor Bahuang and his entourage made their way down the slope, they did not let down their guard despite the path having been cleared earlier. They moved slowly and cautiously. Emperor Bahuang did not walk at the frontline. Instead, there were three Gold Core Realm experts clearing the way. These three were Array Rune Masters from Bahuang Palace, deeply studied in runes and arrays. They were repeatedly examining and investigating the path and the stone walls on both sides to eliminate any hidden dangers that might not have been triggered.

It was uncertain whether all potential threats had been eliminated or whether the skills of the three Array Rune Masters were insufficient, but in any case, Emperor Bahuang and his people encountered no dangers by the time they reached the end of the slope and stood before the tomb entrance.

Li Mijia stood quietly beside Qi Tian, softly explaining to him the actions of Emperor Bahuang and his subordinates.

According to him, the quiet they encountered wasn’t unusual. Most explored Saint’s Tombs had similar conditions, with fewer dangers before the tomb entrance was opened, and those dangers were generally not very severe. The real perils were mostly concentrated after the tomb entrance was opened—when the true test for people began.

Emperor Bahuang did not personally inspect the circumstances of the tomb entrance. Instead, the same three Array Rune Masters, along with two other Gold Core Realm experts of profound cultivation, stepped forward. The five of them jointly carried out a detailed investigation of the tomb entrance.

The door was made of some unknown material; touching it with hands, it was neither cold nor hot, nearly matching the temperature of human skin.

Knocking on the tomb entrance elicited a sound similar to that of a person knocking on a mountain.

Moreover, there were no edges to be felt or seen around the tomb entrance; it seemed as if it grew together with the surrounding rock, forming a seamless whole without any gaps.

Furthermore, even though the surface of the tomb entrance was flat, it wasn’t very smooth; when touched, it felt rough, like the surface of coarsely processed stone.

All these observations could be made by anyone using straightforward methods.

What really baffled Emperor Bahuang’s five subordinates was that despite employing a variety of methods, they could not determine the material of the tomb entrance, whether it was inscribed with arrays and runes, or what approach should be taken to open it.

The Imperial Family Secret Territory, after thousands of years of research on various Saint’s Tombs, had accumulated a lot of experience. They were well aware that no tomb entrance was ever easy to open. But if the correct method was considered, they could save a great deal of manpower and resources, reducing the precious expenses for cultivation and the potential dangers they might encounter. Conversely, the wrong approach could multiply the consequences at least by several times.

Emperor Bahuang patiently waited, but he knew he couldn’t afford to wait indefinitely. Qi Tian and several other Princes were keeping a watchful eye on him; if he took too long on this point, he wouldn’t be able to justify himself.

“What conclusions have you come up with? What method should we use to open this tomb entrance?” Emperor Bahuang finally asked before his patience ran out.

The five Gold Core Realm experts responsible for investigating the tomb entrance exchanged glances before the most respected among them stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Bahuang, and said, “Your Highness, please forgive our incompetence. After half a day of research, we have reached only one conclusion: this tomb entrance is unlike any we have encountered before, and I fear it will not be easy to open it.”

Emperor Bahuang snorted coldly, “Zhou Yang, on normal days I expend a vast amount of cultivation resources on you, with the expectation that ‘One trains the army for a thousand days to use it for a moment.’ Now that I actually need your effort, you give me such a response—are you not ashamed?”

Zhou Yang wore a face full of shame, but he still spoke candidly, “Your Highness, we dare not lie in your presence, indeed we do not have the ability to discern anything on this tomb entrance.”

Then another Gold Core Realm expert, who had been investigating the tomb entrance with Zhou Yang, stepped forward. She was a female cultivator and said, “Your Highness, Brother Zhou hasn’t lied. This tomb entrance has always given us a very peculiar feeling; its various properties exceed our capabilities, and we truly cannot figure it out. However, if you insist we disclose something, there might indeed be a thing or two.”
