Chapter 1189: Chapter 0690: Trump Card_1 Chapter 1189: Chapter 0690: Trump Card_1 Chapter 0690: The Trump Card
The Outer Palaces of the Saint’s Tomb had been cleaned up, and now the ti had co to open the Outer Tomb Door and enter the Inner Underground Palace. This was a very critical juncture in exploring the Saint’s Tomb, tied to the vested interests of every Prince. Whichever Prince made the most significant contribution at this ti would naturally stand to gain greater rewards when Qi Tian distributed accolades later, especially since Qi Tian had offered a small space as a reward. At this point, these Princes were more eager than ever to persuade Qi Tian, aiming to secure further opportunities for rit.
Being either Qi Tian’s Immortal Slaves or intimidated by his might, the disputes among these Princes were rely verbal. Had they been in any other setting without Qi Tian present, it might have already co to blows, fierce enough to “knock the dog brains out.”
Qi Tian did not make an imdiate decision. He listened to the argunts among the Princes while using the sensory functions of the Heavenly Dao Engine to sense the conditions behind the Inner Tomb Door. However, Qi Tian soon realized that the Inner Tomb Door was even more effective at blocking all probing than the Outer Tomb Door; he couldn’t observe or discover anything. But one thing Qi Tian could be certain of: the Inner Tomb Door was most definitely not simple. Otherwise, the Millennium Corpse Water would not have retreated into it on its own accord.
Qi Tian already had a decision in mind, but he didn’t imdiately voice it. Instead, he turned to look at Gao Jini, who followed closely behind him, and asked, “Gao, what do you think we should do next?”
Qi Tian’s inquiry to Gao Jini was not an arbitrary selection nor a ans to display dissatisfaction with the Princes. He did so because Gao Jini was unlike the others. Gao Jini, originally a professional killer, had an extraordinary sense of danger and her loyalty to Qi Tian far exceeded that of the other Princes. By asking Gao Jini at this mont, Qi Tian was also seeking to utilize her keen sense of peril.
The Princes imdiately ceased their debate, all eyes on Gao Jini. They had not expected Qi Tian to seek her opinion at such a critical mont. This indicated that Gao Jini held considerable weight in Qi Tian’s eyes, prompting them to swiftly reassess her status and resolve to find ways to improve their relations with her in the future.
The attention from the five Princes did not make Gao Jini feel overly flattered. In her eyes, Qi Tian was always the foremost. Although the Princes’ cultivation levels and strengths far surpassed hers, Gao Jini felt no awe towards them. Standing there with her hands at her sides, she earnestly said, “Master, if you’re asking for my opinion, it’s quite simple: in such a treacherous and unpredictable environnt, our top priority should always be caution, ensuring we are in peak condition at all tis. I’m not against using dicinal pills for recovery, but I don’t advocate for it either, given our limited supply. We don’t know how long we’ll need to stay in the Saint’s Tomb, but it will undoubtedly be quite so ti, so we should avoid using dicinal pills for recovery as much as possible. I don’t know about others, but if it were , I’d certainly prefer the most basic thods for recovery to minimize depletion of cultivation resources.”
Qi Tian nodded and continued to inquire, “What do you think will happen if we open the Inner Tomb Door now?”
Gao Jini replied, “Intuition tells there is great terror beyond the Inner Tomb Door. Without making thorough preparations, entering rashly would be deadly. Of course, this is just my opinion. My strength cannot compare to yours, Master; a deadly situation for might be transford into an opportunity by you.”
“Alright, I understand,” Qi Tian said.
He glanced over everyone and declared, “I think Gao’s words make a lot of sense. Without proper preparation, opening the Inner Tomb Door and attempting to enter the Inner Underground Palace would not be wise. Therefore, I’ve decided we must take so ti to recuperate. Doing this, Princes, is actually for your benefit as well—it’s to enhance your strength. You’ve spent so much ti and made such sacrifices to get here; don’t tell you haven’t gained anything along the way. I believe each of you must have obtained sothing. Now, during the recuperation, digest what you have attained as quickly as possible and enhance your strength. At this stage, any improvent, no matter how small, is good. Perhaps your slight advancent could beco the key to a successful exploration in the end.”
The Princes nodded in agreent, indeed, as Qi Tian said, they had gained quite a bit along the way, so of which could be used for direct enhancent. Even Emperor Yonghe, who joined the fight last, had not co away empty-handed.
Qi Tian announced, “Now, I’ll make so arrangents. While everyone is resting, I hope those proficient in wards and formations among you will step forward and accompany to the tomb passageway. I plan to lay down so additional wards and formations there as barriers to fend off outsiders. This way, we can withdraw our companions who are guarding the passageway, allowing more hands to join our exploration moving forward.”
