Whoosh...
The golden eagle flies very fast, crossing many mountains and cities in each flick of its wings.
The South Shui Empire was located on the other side of the Floating Spiritual Clouds so they needed more time to get there.
Qin Tian sat in front with Yu Siqi while looking at the scene below, while Shi Bao and Liu Jun were behind Lin Ji.
With the combat power of the Heavenly Sun Lion which was basically on par with the Golden Eagle, Qin Tian no longer needed Lin Ji to protect him and Siqi. He can use the lion's power to create his own protective energy around them.
Only Shi Bao and Liu Jun were too weak, who needed Lin Ji's protection.
Whoosh...
After almost four hours of traveling in the air, they finally began to enter the territory of the Southern Shui Empire.
They only needed about half an hour before they arrived in the imperial capital.
From a distance, Qin Tian could see a vast city that was almost ten times wider than the royal capital of Qin.
The city looks very majestic with many tall buildings that pierce the clouds in the sky.
Through the eyes of the Heavenly Sun Lion, Qin Tian was basically able to see every corner of the city from a distance in great detail.
Located right in the middle of the city, he could see an enormous and luxurious palace, which radiated endless grandeur that made those who saw the palace feel the desire to kneel.
Around the palace, there were so many warriors wearing full combat clothes that emitted an aura that was so oppressive that people did not dare to approach them.
Each of the warriors had cold eyes and indifferent expressions as if they were puppet warriors who were not afraid of anything.
Qin Tian could not help but sigh in admiration when he saw them.
If the Thunder Protection Squads fought against them, Qin Tian would not doubt that they would be defeated immediately before the battle even began.
Buzz.
As Qin Tian continued to stare at the palace, he suddenly felt a mysterious energy appear there, trying to block his gaze.
Qin Tian guessed that his actions might be felt by the experts there.
He quickly closed the little lion's eyes and stopped staring there.
After Luo Shen's previous appearance, the momentum of the South Shui Empire direct rose so drastically that no one dared to act disrespectfully in front of them.
Their prestige even vaguely surpassed the prestige of the Great Empire.
Even when Transcendent-level experts entered the Imperial capital, they politely walked in through the city gates. Nobody dared to fly directly above the city.
Whoosh...
After a while, Qin Tian's group then landed not far from the city gate.
Because they did not want to attract the attention of the people there, they immediately walked in through the city gate which was guarded by several soldiers right after landing.
When Qin Tian truly entered the imperial capital, he could not help but sigh in admiration.
From small children to dying grandparents, he could see so many of them roaming everywhere in the city.
Various types of shops selling cultivation equipment and resources can also be found in almost every part of the city, and it is always filled with many people waiting in line.
The city might only be ten times bigger than the capital of the Qin kingdom, yet judging from the number of people inside the city, it must be almost twenty times more.
Qin Tian's group did not linger there before they walked further into the city.
Their destination was the Imperial palace where the teleportation formation was located.
Young people who will participate in the exam of the seven great sects will gather there first to wait for everyone to arrive before they depart for the Spiritual Territory.
Because they only walked casually, it took more time before they arrived in the area outside the palace.
When they arrived there, there were already many people with extraordinary looks and momentum who had arrived there.
Nobles of a kingdom are the lowest status people there while princes and princesses of the kingdom can be found everywhere.
Compared to the previous opening of the Floating Spiritual Cloud, this time there were far more people coming.
Even though the entrance exam this time would definitely be far more dangerous than usual, it still could not dampen the enthusiasm and desire of the young people to join one of the great sects.
"Prince Qin." Right when their group had just arrived, someone had already called out to Qin Tian.
It was a young man with a handsome face and friendly expression.
Even though they only got to know a few months ago, Qin Tian was already very familiar with him.
That's of course Ling Yuan.
"Miss Yu." When Ling Yuan arrived in front of them, he immediately greeted Yu Siqi with a very friendly expression.
He also smiled at Lin Ji, Shi Bao, and Liu Ju before he spoke to Qin Tian.
"Prince Qin, finally you came, this humble one has been waiting a long time, let's go in first, it won't be long before we leave for the Spiritual Territory."
"Sure." Qin Tian did not object to Ling Yuan's invitation.
He also missed Shui Yao a little after two months of not meeting. He hopes to meet her in the palace.
Qin Tian wondered if she was still angry at him.
"Your Highness, then this old man will leave first. I will return to the kingdom after you leave." At that moment, Lin Ji suddenly spoke.
Because who can go to the Spiritual Territory later, only young people will participate in the exam. So the people who were escorting them could only escort them to the imperial palace. They could not enter further into the palace.
"Um, thanks Uncle Lin." Qin Tian answered while nodding.
After Lin Ji left, they then entered the area within the palace under the gaze of many people.
Because Shi Bao and Liu Jun were not accustomed to big figures like Ling Yuan, they chose to stay behind.
Qin Tian did not object to their decision because the people they would meet in the palace later, who had the lowest status were Prince of a kingdom at least.
Even though those people wouldn't dare to bother them because they were people from the Qin kingdom, both of them still felt uncomfortable.
It's like a cat in the middle of a tiger horde. Any cat will feel uncomfortable when in a situation like that.
"By the way Prince Qin, have you heard about Princess Shui?" While they were on their way, Ling Yuan suddenly asked.
