Qin Heng's battle achievents in Yu State once again shocked the world. This Innate Pinnacle expert, known as the First Through the Ages, was truly astonishing. His strength seed limitless, capable of bursting forth with incredibly terrifying power at any mont. It was simply inconceivable!
If anyone previously thought Qin Heng's battle record was achieved through various treasures or one-ti Secret Techniques, no one believed that anymore. So many dazzling achievents in such a short ti had only one explanation: Qin Heng's strength had truly reached this level, an imnsely terrifying realization.
Not only the various family clans and sect powers within China but also diverse forces from abroad began to truly recognize the strength of this individual hailed as the First Through the Ages! Indeed, so countries and forces had already called him "a god walking among n," "the Strongest Holy Spirit," or "a Great God"! However, to Qin Heng, these were all trivial matters.
By the ti his achievents in Yu State were relayed to various places, he himself had already left Yu State and journeyed to Jizhou to investigate an ancient tomb there.
Buried within was Zi Rong, a disciple of the divine healer Bian Que. His dical skills were exceptional. He had once served as the chief dical officer in the Zhou Dynasty. Tragically, his limited cultivation talent prevented him from achieving the status of Great Saint, and his life ended at the Saint level.
Qin Heng had learned this from Ji Nanxiang, a princess of the final Zhou Dynasty ruler and the youngest daughter of the royal family.
Ji Nanxiang, alongside Zi Rong, had experienced that special era over two thousand years ago—when Nine Nether opened, and demons from beyond descended!
But no one knew what truly happened in that era, what truth lay hidden beneath recorded history, or if it was related to Earth's current End of Dharma Age.
Qin Heng's trip to the ancient tomb in Jizhou this ti was to examine certain items within, seeking clues to unlock a Secret Realm of Ti-Space Seal.
If he could enter the Secret Realm of Ti-Space Seal ford in that era and personally experience that special ti, he might uncover the true history of that period. This, in turn, could help him understand the reasons for Earth's changes and deepen his comprehension of the Supre Law.
Qin Heng had a premonition. If he comprehended just one or two more Secret Realms of Ti-Space Seal, his understanding of the Supre Law would advance by a whole level. He would no longer need to remain in the Qi Refinent Realm and could comprehend the Supre Law at maximum speed!
Of course, if the secrets of that era from over two thousand years ago were plentiful enough, Qin Heng could reap even greater benefits. Perhaps by exploring just this one Secret Realm of Ti-Space Seal, he could achieve a true breakthrough to a higher level!

「Jizhou, Ren Cang City.」
This city ranked mid-range in developnt among Jizhou's major cities and had never been particularly noteworthy. Its proximity to Beijing was the primary reason it drew so attention.
However, the recent discovery of a Pre-Qin era tomb had suddenly attracted many. These included not only national research and archaeological personnel but also disciples sent by noble families and sects, all hoping to find valuable treasures within this ancient tomb, over two thousand years old.
Additionally, a group of tomb robbers intended to fish in troubled waters, hoping to make a fortune from this Pre-Qin tomb.
Wu Liang was a mber of one such tomb-robbing gang—or more precisely, its leader. Though only twenty-three, he already led a small tomb-robbing gang of three, specializing in the despicable act of desecrating ancestral graves.
It must be understood that tomb raiding differs significantly from formal archaeological excavation. This is because the primary task of archaeological research and excavation is to protect precious cultural relics within tombs. These artifacts, having been buried for hundreds or even thousands of years, inevitably suffer damage once unearthed and exposed to light. The best thod of protection is to leave them buried deep underground. Alternatively, excavation should only be considered when technology is mature enough to preserve nearly everything within the ancient tombs perfectly.
So where do the tombs excavated by archaeology teams co from? Most such tombs are discovered when their walls or top stone slabs are accidentally breached during local farming, construction, digging, mining, or similar activities. Only then does the state urgently assemble archaeological research teams for rescue excavations, striving to protect these cultural relics from damage as much as possible.
For example, the Pre-Qin tomb found in Ren Cang City, Jizhou, was discovered when a village well-digger broke through the tomb's wall.
Tomb robbers, however, care nothing for the cultural significance or archaeological research value of artifacts. Their sole interest is how much money they can make. Consequently, during tomb raids, robbers typically focus on items like gold, silver, and jewels. Other contents of the ancient tombs are likely to be indiscriminately destroyed. After all, ancient artifacts can be very fragile.
During their raids, tomb robbers, unlike archaeological researchers, make no effort to preserve cultural relics with all their might. Instead, they focus only on grabbing treasures and leaving quickly! Sotis, they even destroy and carry away the tomb owner's bones! This is an extrely sinister act.
However, in Wu Liang's view, damaging his moral integrity didn't matter. As long as there was money to be made, anything was permissible. Thanks to tomb raiding, he had already bought five apartnts on Beijing's Second Ring Road, making him a diamond bachelor in the eyes of many gold-diggers.
A Pre-Qin tomb... even if it doesn't belong to any noblen, just getting so ancient artifacts out should net a hefty sum!
Wu Liang was currently staying in Ren Cang City's most luxurious hotel. Sitting by the window and gazing at the moonlit sky, he thought to himself, However, the state highly regards such Pre-Qin tombs, so ordinary people probably can't get involved. I need a plan... Right! The presidential suite across from
is occupied by a young man. When I saw him at the front desk earlier, he looked a bit like Qin Heng, the son of the Daqin Group's CEO. If it really is Qin Heng, then there's hope! I've investigated this young master; he's a history student at Beijing University. He's most likely here to visit that Pre-Qin tomb! If I can connect with this Young Master Qin, we could visit the tomb together under the guise of being friends of the Daqin Group's heir! That way, we'll have a chance to swipe so valuable treasures from the tomb! Hehe, this Young Master Qin, born into wealth, must be pampered and naive—easy to manipulate!
At this thought, Wu Liang couldn't help but admire himself. To think he could devise a way out of such a difficult situation—he was truly a genius!
No ti to lose. Now is the perfect mont to go ask!
His eyes lit up, a confident smile playing on his lips. Wu Liang rose from his bed, straightened his clothes, opened his door, and walked to the door of Qin Heng's room across the hall.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
He knocked on Qin Heng's door.
