As Qi Tian flew forward, he carefully felt the changes in the Spirit Qi. He followed the direction of the flow of Spirit Qi and after a long time, neither the concentration nor the flow direction of the Spirit Qi underwent any changes. This contradicted Qi Tian’s initial estimation that the concentration of Spirit Qi would increase as the flying time extended.

Qi Tian furrowed his brows. If the state of Spirit Qi remained constant, then they might never be able to find the secret of the Imperial Family Secret Territory.

At this moment, Gao Jinmei suddenly spoke up, “Master, I feel something is wrong.”

Qi Tian turned to look at Gao Jinmei and asked, “What do you find wrong? Tell me about it.”

Gao Jinmei said, “Master, you know I come from an assassin background. When I used to carry out tasks, I often needed to make sure my kills were swift, completing assassination missions in a short time. This required us to take straight paths sometimes, without any detours.”

Qi Tian nodded and said, “Don’t talk about your experience as an assassin, just get to the point.”

Gao Jinmei hurriedly replied, “It’s like this, because I was an assassin, I’m particularly sensitive to moving in straight lines. My experience and intuition tell me that since we found the Spirit Qi and you’ve been leading us in flight, what looks like a straight path is actually not straight at all, but a considerably large arc.”

“What? An arc?” A flash of insight crossed Qi Tian’s mind. “Let’s first confirm whether what you’re saying is correct. You two stay suspended here, don’t move, and just watch me fly forward. I’ll go ahead for about ten miles first.”

Gao Jinmei and Xia Xiaoming followed Qi Tian’s command, standing still and waiting for Qi Tian to fly forward. They were now about one hundred meters above the ground, so they did not worry about being too far away to see each other.

Qi Tian estimated the distance, flew out ten miles, and then stopped. He first looked down at the ground and his expression changed slightly. When he had started flying, he had chosen a reference point on the ground. If he had flown in a straight line, he should have ended up directly above that reference point. However, his current position was off by about thirty meters from the reference point.

Qi Tian didn’t say anything, instead flew back in the reverse direction of the Spirit Force flow. When he rejoined Gao Jinmei and the others, he ended up at the starting point. In other words, he had not managed to fly in a straight line this time either.

“What did you see just now? Wasn’t I flying in a straight line?” Qi Tian asked.

Gao Jinmei nodded directly and said, “Master, I’m now certain you did not fly in a straight line.”

Xia Xiaoming nodded repeatedly at his side. According to his view, Qi Tian indeed had not flown straight, but in a very wide arc.

Qi Tian nodded thoughtfully. He realized that his conjecture had been slightly off. He had believed that by following the flow of Spirit Qi, he might be able to uncover the secret of the royal secret realm, but perhaps he should not have followed the flow of Spirit Qi, and instead should have chosen a different direction.

Qi Tian said, “Let’s go. I’ll continue to lead you in flight, watch and see if I fly in a straight line this time.”

Immediately, Qi Tian set off again, but this time he changed his course, no longer following the direction of the Spirit Qi flow, but instead flying in a direction perpendicular to it.

After flying out ten miles, Qi Tian stopped and asked, “This time I led you in a straight line, right?”

Gao Jinmei and Xia Xiaoming both nodded. This time, Gao Jinmei did not have that strange intuition.

Qi Tian smiled. His smile was not because he had managed to fly in a straight line—being a cultivator about to form a Gold Core, if he couldn’t even fly straight, it would be quite laughable. He smiled because the Heavenly Dao Engine had just fed him a new three-dimensional image. Based on the Heavenly Dao Engine’s scanning, Qi Tian confirmed that the concentration of Spirit Qi around him had changed, being slightly better than ten miles back.

Without saying anything, Qi Tian continued to lead Gao Jinmei and Xia Xiaoming forward. After flying out roughly another ten miles, Qi Tian once again sensed a change in the Spirit Qi around him—it had strengthened a bit more.

In this manner, each time they flew about ten miles forward, Qi Tian was able to feel a change in the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth. After more than a hundred miles, even the slowest to react, Xia Xiaoming, started to feel the Spirit Qi between heaven and earth. However, the Spirit Qi here was still very faint; it was not just the three of them who would not want to cultivate here, even a low-level Qi Cultivation disciple from the National Master Manor would be reluctant to train in such a place.

But such a change still left Qi Tian and his companions quite surprised. They realized that this time Qi Tian might have really found the secret of the Imperial Family Secret Territory. If they continued flying in this direction, perhaps it wouldn’t be long before they would encounter an environment suitable for Qi Cultivation Period, Foundation Establishment Stage, and Gold Core Stage cultivation.

They continued flying forward, and after flying a thousand miles more, they indeed felt that the Spirit Qi had become very suitable for cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage. However, in this place, they could already see some demonic beasts and Demonic Birds emerging. These wild and untamed creatures, perhaps sensing the terrifying aura of Gold Core Realm experts emanating from Gao Jinmei and the others, did not launch any attacks at Qi Tian and his team.
