"Holy Wind Empire!" Qin Tian didn't know that faction in his past life, he only found out about it after reading the latest history of sixteen heavens.

It was actually a new imperial faction.

Their first emperor, the Holy Wind Emperor, he became the emperor before the Snow Lotus Emperor. In other words, only one era had passed since the Holy Wind Empire was founded.

Even though they only had one emperor, the newly established factions usually had more power.

Only one era had passed, so in all likelihood, most of the experts who had accompanied the emperor were still alive today.

Cultivating under the direct guidance of an emperor, their cultivation would naturally increase drastically.

And of course, they must have had more cultivation resources because most of the cultivation resources left by their emperor were still unutilized.

Even compared to a faction with three emperors, a faction that was still new might have some advantages.

...

"Hmph." Gong Yuxian snorted. "You don't even have a candidate to become emperor."

""Your clan only supports a candidate from another faction. Isn't that too embarrassing? That means you don't even have a qualified successor." She says.

She smiled derisively as she said that.

And her words left Du Fang speechless. Du Feng who heard her words immediately showed an angry expression. He gritted his teeth as if he didn't accept what he just heard.

"That Feng Xi, he can roam around now only because there are no tigers on the mountain. Hmph, as soon as the Dragon Princess shows herself, he can only stand to the side." Gong Yuxian added.

....

Qin Tian was not interested in hearing their arguments, therefore, he left as soon as he understood their backgrounds.

He then made his way through the city. The first thing he did was sell the mortal weapons he got from the system. With his strength now, they were almost useless to him.

Due to their excellent quality among mortal weapons, each of them ended up selling for 100 spiritual stones.

He sold 90 weapons, so he got 9000 spiritual stones.

One spiritual stone contains basically 1 spiritual energy. And what makes their value high is because the spiritual energy in spiritual stones is so pure that they are very easily absorbed.

For people with ordinary bodies, spiritual stones made their cultivation easier by hundreds of times.

...

After that, Qin Tian then went to a place called the Heavenly Path Library. It's also a branch of business, but it's even bigger than the Dragon Palace. Their branches can be found basically all over the sixteen heavens. And its owner was a sect with four emperors, it was the Heavenly Path Sect.

There were only two factions with five emperors, those were the Five Elements Sect and the Ji clan. However, there are still some factions that once produced four emperors. Of course, there were very few of them. In reality, there are only six factions with four Emperors in all sixteen heavens.

Each faction with four emperors naturally had very broad influence.

The Heavenly Path Sect which is the owner of the Heavenly Path Library is the most influential among the five. That was of course due to their ownership of the Heavenly Path Library.

In fact, no one clearly knew what the Heavenly Path Library was. Many suspected that it was an artifact.

To be sure, it can connect many places where people can connect with one another spiritually.

It was originally used by people to communicate from afar. But over time, it ended up turning into a place to sell cultivation techniques so that the place eventually changed its name to the Heavenly Path Library.

And now, anyone who wants to sell and buy cultivation techniques can come there.

Qin Tian's aim to that place was of course not to buy cultivation techniques. With the game system, as long as he looked at the techniques in that place, he could buy it directly from the game system at a much cheaper price.

But he didn't plan on using his spiritual energy to buy techniques there.

Cultivation techniques obtained from Important NPCs could be used without paying. But apart from that, there are other ways to get the technique without paying for it. That is by getting it through a challenge.

In the sixteen heavens, the older generation who are almost out of age will usually try to find an heir who can inherit everything they have. Of course, whoever it was, they would want a competent heir.

In order to find a competent heir, they usually make a challenge, and whoever can complete the challenge, they will inherit their inheritance.

Such challenges are often found in the graves of experts.

But the Heavenly Path Library also had such challenges in each of their branches. They make things like that in order to attract people's attention so that more people visit their place.

And Qin Tian's aim of coming there too was to try out their challenges so that he could obtain techniques for free from them.

...

The location of the Heavenly Path Library wasn't actually within that city. More precisely, it was floating above the city.

As a business branch belonging to one of the strongest factions in the sixteen heavens, they naturally wanted to always show their momentum.

Making it float above the city so that everyone could see it clearly was one of the best ways to show momentum.

For those who still couldn't fly, they could only go there on the flying beasts that would take them there.

Even though Qin Tian can already fly, he still chooses to pay for the services of flying beasts to go there.

....

The Heavenly Path Library stood on an island, and it was that island that flew over the city of the Thousand Mountains.

The island did not settle down somewhere, but continued to fly around the city of the Thousand Mountains.

After paying 100 spiritual stones, Qin Tian finally arrived on the flying island.

When he arrived there, the place was already full of people. In reality, there were more people there than in the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace may be a place that is only reserved for certain circles, but the Heavenly Path Library is a place that is needed by everyone who wants a cultivation technique.

Who knows how many factions and individuals are in the Thousand Mountains province, and most of those who desire a cultivation technique would seek it out in the Heavenly Path Library, so it was only natural that the place would always be full of many people.
