At this moment, not only was Emperor Bahuang watching Qi Tian, but the other princes and all the Gold Core Realm experts present were also looking at Qi Tian with similar eyes. They were not waiting for Qi Tian to make a decision; instead, they were all conveying a kind of longing through their gazes, hoping that Qi Tian would give the order for everyone to leave this place.

Although it is said that cultivators vie with the Heavenly Dao when cultivating, they still need to see at least a glimmer of hope for victory, no matter how faint that hope is. But now, they couldn’t even see that slight hope. If they insisted on staying and tried to open the tomb door of the Saint’s Tomb, what awaited them might very well be total annihilation, with none surviving. No one would be willing to make a move that they knew would lead to certain death.

Qi Tian was lost in thought, his expression calm and collected despite over a hundred Gold Core Realm experts staring at him. He did not show the slightest hint of panic. Lifting his leg, he walked toward the ramp in front of the tomb door, while others quickly moved aside, their gazes following his every move.

Qi Tian soon reached the bottom of the ramp, arriving in front of the tomb door. He touched the door with his hand, then turned on the Spirit Qi sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine. At the closest distance, he conducted another scan of the tomb door, hoping to discover something different from before. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao Engine still did not provide him with any valuable information.

After some thought, Qi Tian had an idea. The palm of his hand against the tomb door opened into a black hole, and under his command, a Transporting Whirlwind flew out, heading straight for the tomb door.

Qi Tian hoped that by using this method, with the properties of the Transporting Whirlwind, he could detect the tomb door’s reaction. If the Transporting Whirlwind could damage the door as it did with other objects imbued with Spirit Qi, or even just evoke some response from the tomb door, that would be good.

However, Qi Tian soon realized that this attempt had also failed—the tomb door still had no reaction. With no other options, he retracted the Transporting Whirlwind and lowered his hand.

Emperor Bahuang said, “Master Qi, I don’t want to give up either, but as you have seen with your own eyes, this set of tomb doors is so peculiar. We’ve used so many spells to attack it, yet we cannot shake the tomb door in the slightest. This is enough to prove that this tomb door is extraordinary. The master of a tomb that could warrant such a door is definitely no ordinary character. Entering his underground palace and seeking opportunities therein would be extremely dangerous—it’s not a matter of a nine-in-ten chance of death, but a certainty of dying. I sincerely hope you will reconsider exploring this Saint’s Tomb, for your own safety.”

All the Gold Core Realm experts present held their breath and watched Qi Tian intently. If they hadn’t been wary of Qi Tian’s strength, most of them would have directly voiced their desire to withdraw by now.

Qi Tian was, at that moment, just as helpless as everyone else in front of this tomb door. However, he was not willing to withdraw like this. After all, they were only unable to open the tomb door at this point, not facing any actual danger. If they were to retreat now, he might regret it in hindsight.

Qi Tian stood in front of the tomb door, thought for a while, and then said, “Let’s not withdraw yet. Lord Jianwu, you take a few men and check the other Saint’s Tombs to see if there’s any suitable for us to explore. Also, see how things are going with Manager Chen.”

Emperor Jianwu knew that Qi Tian issuing such an order meant there was some wavering in his mind. He quickly responded, “I will make the arrangements right away.”

Qi Tian continued to stand in front of the tomb door, staring at it for a long time. He was considering another possibility—since Emperor Bahuang’s subordinates could not inflict any damage on the tomb door, could it be because the tomb door’s defenses were too strong, and they were unable to break through them, hence their failure to open the tomb door. If he could provide a higher level of attack power, might it be possible to open the tomb door?

Others might not have such an ability, but if Qi Tian himself took action, there was a possibility that he could exert a higher level of attack power. Let’s not forget that he had several flying swords left by Master Ming Ren in his hands.

Thinking of the flying swords, another possibility suddenly flashed in Qi Tian’s mind. Just now, when Emperor Bahuang commanded his subordinates to attack the tomb door, from beginning to end, not a single person let their magical instruments touch the door. They all used wands to cast various spells, attacking the tomb door with sorcery. This would be fine under normal circumstances, but in this case, relying solely on spells was clearly insufficient and did not comply with the general principles of problem-solving.

Qi Tian took a few steps back, then pointed at the tomb door and said to Emperor Bahuang, “I watched very closely just now. Your subordinates exerted great effort and held nothing back. But, Emperor Bahuang, it seems you have overlooked something. Why did you summon only mages? Why are there no experts in physical attacks? That won’t do. Now, from your subordinates, pick two with strong physical attacks and have them strike the tomb door with all their might. Let’s see how the tomb door reacts. If there’s no response, then we can consider other options.”
