Merely discussing things wouldn’t reveal the truth, Qi Tian and his group needed to enter the Inner Underground Palace once more to clarify exactly what had happened within.

Qi Tian allowed everyone to rest and adjust for half a day. Meanwhile, he stood not far from the entrance to the Inner Underground Palace, using the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensing capability for Spirit Qi to sweep over the palace again and again, hoping to discover what kind of entities resided within.

Usually, when Qi Tian employed this method, it would cause some special disturbances inside the Inner Underground Palace. However, this time, no matter how he utilized the sensing capability of the Heavenly Dao Engine, the palace remained undisturbed and eerily quiet, with not the slightest reaction.

It was definitely abnormal, but for Qi Tian, it was advantageous for his peaceful exploration inside the palace, sparing him the trouble of dealing with any potential difficulties.

Qi Tian didn’t stay there long; he quickly retreated and then found a safe place to begin a comprehensive analysis of the three-dimensional holographic images fed back to him by the Heavenly Dao Engine to determine the various situations inside the palace.

The Inner Underground Palace was vast, roughly three thousand square meters in size. For the most part, it was desolate, mostly empty except for a high platform that rose from the center of the ground within the palace, on which there was something resembling a coffin. As for what was inside the coffin, the Heavenly Dao Engine could no longer sense it.

In addition, Qi Tian had discovered that the shape of the palace was not a simple square or circular structure. Observed from above, the palace turned out to be a polygonal structure with more than ten sides — in fact, twelve in total.

Using the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensing capability for Spirit Qi, Qi Tian could detect the edges of the Inner Underground Palace, but trying to sense beyond these edges and what lay beyond was beyond his capability.

It seemed that the walls around the edges of the palace were made from a special material or perhaps with a certain technique, similar to how the Inner Tomb Door and the Outer Tomb Door were, where, without any damage, neither Divine Sense nor the sensing feature of the Heavenly Dao Engine could peer into what was truly behind the doors. It was likely that the walls inside the palace had a similar rationale.

Of course, whether this was the case would require Qi Tian to investigate on the spot. Merely standing outside the entrance and attempting to use the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensing capability to discover the truth was not an easy task.

Beyond these findings, Qi Tian discovered no other items of value. His initial hope of encountering Nascent Soul Stage entities within the palace did not materialize, leaving him uncertain whether there were simply none inside or if such entities had gone into hiding.

After half a day’s rest, Emperor Jianwu and the others had gradually returned to their normal state; however, some felt unwell, mainly mentally exhausted, with severe headaches. Depending on these people to enter the Inner Underground Palace and assist Qi Tian was now a far-fetched idea.

Qi Tian had no choice but to filter out these individuals. After tallying up, the number of Gold Core Realm experts who still had the capacity to follow him into the Inner Underground Palace was again reduced, now barely over fifty.

With such a headcount, in the words of Emperor Bahuang, entering the palace without facing danger would be possible, but encountering even a slightly greater danger could potentially lead to the entire team’s annihilation.

Emperor Bahuang advised Qi Tian repeatedly, hoping he would allow the others to rest for one or two more days. With more rest, a few additional members might recover, and their added presence would provide a slightly better chance of exploring the palace safely.

Emperor Jianwu and the other Princes expressed similar sentiments, feeling that their numbers were insufficient, and that rushing into the Inner Underground Palace at this moment was too risky.

Qi Tian acknowledged the Princes’ reasoning, but he promptly and decisively refused. He had thought it through; he urgently needed to enter the palace as soon as possible to acquire more cultivation resources and opportunities to enhance his strength, thereby gaining the capital needed to confront Manager Chen.

If he chose to pause their progression now, to rest before moving on, it might seem fine at the moment, but who could guarantee with absolute certainty that Manager Chen wouldn’t attack during this time? If Manager Chen chose now to strike, then what would Qi Tian have at his disposal to fight back?

Qi Tian openly shared his thoughts, with no expectation of convincing Emperor Jianwu, Emperor Bahuang, or the others. Instead, he issued a direct order for all the able Gold Core Realm experts to follow him into the Inner Underground Palace.

Of course, to alleviate some of the concerns of the Gold Core Realm experts, Qi Tian once more produced a significant number of bottles filled with Spiritual Milk Liquid and distributed them among those ready for battle without hesitation.
