THE EMPEROR THE GOD THE HEAVEN BEATER

Chapter 13

Floating Spiritual Clouds

'Whoosh...'

'The golden eagle flew at such an unimaginable speed that even Qin Tian found it hard to see the surroundings.'

'If it wasn't for Lin Ji making an energy barrier around them

the two of them must have been thrown from the eagle's back a long time ago.'

'In just ten minutes

the golden eagle had already passed through many mountain ranges and cities in the Qin kingdom.'

'Luckily it flew so high above the air that the people below could not see it clearly.'

'The Floating Cloud region was located at the northern border of the southern spiritual continent while the Qin kingdom was located right at the northern border of the Floating Cloud region. It was directly adjacent to the Deserted Land which was at the center of the spiritual continent.'

'The Floating Spiritual Clouds

it was located right in the middle of the Floating Cloud region.'

'To reach the middle of the Floating Cloud region

qin Tian's entourage had to pass through at least five kingdoms and one empire located in the central region.'

'To cross many kingdoms and empires

even with the golden eagle carrying them

they still need two more hours of travel.'

'On their journey

golden eagles more often fly over more remote areas so that they do not attract too much attention. In any case

although most people cannot see the golden eagle given its flying height and speed

however for other Transcendent realm experts

they can still see them.'

'With Lin Ji escorting them personally

they are naturally not afraid of anyone. However

to avoid unnecessary trouble

they still have to be careful.'

'Whoosh...'

'After an hour and a half of travel

they finally entered the imperial territory. This empire had the name Holy Wind Empire. The territory of the Holy Wind Empire was located in the central part of the Floating Cloud region and it was bordered by the region where the Floating Spiritual Cloud was located.'

'To go to where the Floating Spiritual Clouds are

most of the people would go through the Holy Wind Empire.'

'However

the Qin Tian group did not intend to stop by the Holy Wind Empire

they continued to fly through the many cities and mountain ranges to directly go to where the Floating Spiritual Clouds were.'

'As an Empire

it had a larger territory than the kingdom. To traverse the entire Empire

the golden eagle took over thirty minutes.'

'Whoosh...'

'After thirty minutes of travel

the golden eagle began to slow its flight

and it started to go down.'

'Only after the golden eagle slowed down

only then could Qin Tian see the surroundings around them clearly.'

'A few miles ahead of them

there are countless mountain ranges. Each of the mountains was so high that it pierced through the clouds in the sky.'

'And in the middle of those mountains

there is a very large grassland. The grasslands look very green and lush

it made the people who saw it feel a relaxed feeling.'

'And right in the middle of the meadow

there is a circular lake that reaches one kilometer. Strangely

there was no water visible in the lake. There was only a bluish-white cloud that exuded an overwhelming spiritual feeling.'

'It's located right above the lake

there was a white-colored energy barrier that covered the entire lake

makes people unable to get into it.'

'Even without anyone telling him

Qin Tian could immediately tell that the lake was called the Floating Spiritual Cloud

a magical place said to be able to help someone break through.'

'No one knows the origin of the Floating Spiritual Cloud because it has been there for a long time.'

'All the time

there were many powerful experts trying to force their way into it to solve its mysteries. However

as of now

none of those experts could break through the energy barrier.'

'It made people realize that the Floating Spiritual Cloud might be a place created by an extremely powerful expert.'

'In this world

it was very common for a very powerful expert to create a certain magical place. Usually

such magical places had a legacy left behind by the expert who made them. Sometimes

in addition to legacy

usually there were also many cultivation treasures left behind.'

'However

just like the Floating Spiritual Cloud

most inheritances can usually only be entered by the younger generation.'

'If an older generation wants to force its way into it

that person had to think in advance whether his own strength was enough to withstand the might of the expert who made that magical place.'

'Basically 'Basically

only experts stronger than experts could create a magical place that could truly force their way in. Of course

those stronger experts would not be interested in a place made by an expert weaker than themselves.'

'For most experts

breaking into the premises belonging to experts weaker than themselves was no different from insulting themselves. It was like an Emperor robbing a beggar.'

'Floating Spiritual Cloud was a magical place that could help one increase cultivation. However

and it could only help to increase cultivation in the Awakening Meridian realm and Spiritual realm

it could only be considered an ordinary magical place.'

'Although the king said that the place was much more magical than people knew

unfortunately no one knows about it. If not

it would not be the Empire and Kingdom's turn in the Floating Cloud region to monopolize it. People from powerful sects will definitely come take over.'

'Located not far from the Floating Spiritual Cloud

there is a city that is not too big

it was about one-third the size of the capital of the Qin kingdom. Although the Floating Spiritual Cloud only opened once every ten years

but wherever it is

such a magical place would always have many people coming to visit.'

'There was no mention of the number of people who came to visit

only the supervisors sent by the various great powers alone

the number is already very much.'

'For example; in the Qin kingdom alone there were quite a number of noble clans

and each of those noble clans would usually send one or two people to watch over the magical places.'

'And the one who sent the overseer was not only a great power from the Floating Cloud region

even the great powers from other regions also sent some of their supervisors.'

'Even though they can't come in

but that doesn't mean they don't want to know what's going on there.'

'Sometimes

in certain situations

such magical places could also undergo some changes.'

'For example under certain circumstances; it is possible that the protective force protecting the magical place suffered some damage.'

'If that's what happened

that magical place could naturally be forcefully opened by powerful experts.'

'If it happened to be a magical place it was the tomb of an extremely powerful expert; there would definitely be many cultivation treasures left behind in it.'

'And wherever there is treasure

people from various places would definitely come in droves to fight over it. That moment

no one would care anymore which region had a magical place.'

'In fighting over the treasures left behind by such a powerful expert

it would not be surprising if there was a battle between the emperors or the kings. At that moment

no matter how high their status

there must be many of them who fall dead.'

'Whoosh...'

'After arriving not far from the city

rajawali immediately swooped down towards the city.'

'Besides Qin Tian group

there are also other groups that come with various mounts. There were ascending spiritual beasts like the Qin Tian group

and there are also those who ride the flying train. Regardless of what their mounts are

anyone could instantly know that they were people from the kingdom and noble clans.'

'But compared to the golden eagle that the Qin Tian group was riding on

the group from the other kingdoms seemed to be lacking a few points.'

'After the golden eagle landed outside the city

the golden eagle body that was as big as the Qin royal palace was immediately shrunk.'

'In a few moments

it had already shrunk to the size of an ordinary eagle.'

'It then flew around several rounds circling around Qin Tian's group before landing on Lin Ji's shoulder.'

'Even if Qin Tian's status was very high

it would still not care about him because his strength was so weak compared to him. He would only submit to Lin Ji who was stronger than him.'

'"This bloke is disrespectful

Your Majesty!" Seeing the actions of the golden eagle

Lin Ji could only apologize.'

'"It's okay!" Qin Tian smiled resignedly.'

'He wouldn't be so petty as to be angry just because of the actions of a bird. Golden eagle after all

it was just an ordinary spiritual beast that lacked intelligence.'

'If it was a spiritual monster that had intelligence

it won't be subdued so easily.'

'The difference between a spiritual monster and a spiritual beast was; the former had intelligence and could cultivate while the spiritual beasts were similar to ordinary beasts in addition to the fact that their strength was extremely strong. However

their strength was not the result of cultivation

but it's the result of their natural evolution that increases as they grow.'

'If a spiritual beast wants to gain intelligence

they had to gain enlightenment which allowed them to cultivate

and increase their strength even higher. When they become very strong

they would naturally gain intelligence and could even change shape into humans like spiritual monsters.'

'The Qin Tian group then walked towards the inner city with Qin Tian and Yu Siqi side by side in front while Lin Ji followed behind them.'

'Just by looking at the clothes Qin Tian was wearing

anyone can immediately know that he is a prince of a kingdom.'

'The status of a royal prince was very high. It was only one level below the imperial prince. Although there were many noble clans in an empire. However

even the strongest of them were definitely several points lower than a kingdom.'

'Being a king is definitely better than just being a noble after all. The reason why they could only become nobles and could not establish their own kingdoms proved that they still lacked some things.'

'Aside from having cultivation at the fourth layer of the Transcendent realm

one also needs loyal subordinates. And the most important thing was a foundation that allowed the next generation to also achieve cultivation at the king level.'

'The leaders of the most powerful noble clans in the empire might have the same cultivation as the king of a kingdom. However

whether their descendants could reach their level

that's still not certain. If the one who inherits the kingdom cannot reach the level of an average king

it would probably be the end of a kingdom.'
