Chapter 1028: Chapter 0609: A Good Opportunity During the Heavenly Tribulation_2 Chapter 1028: Chapter 0609: A Good Opportunity During the Heavenly Tribulation_2 This outcome was enough to make Qi Tian quite happy, but what pleased him even more was that after the Tribulation Thunder entered the storage area of the Heavenly Dao Engine, it indeed wreaked havoc for a short while. A small portion of the cultivation resources Qi Tian had placed in the storage area were destroyed, but the majority remained unscathed.

Qi Tian hurriedly transferred them out of the storage area, and this was all thanks to his foresight in storing the majority of these items in Storage Bags or other Storage Magical Instruments when he initially placed them there, which made the transfer relatively convenient. However, the cultivation resources Qi Tian had in the storage area were too many, and even though they were all previously stored in Storage Bags, there were several dozen of them. Along with other various Storage Magical Instruments, there were altogether over a hundred. Unable to carry them all on his person, he temporarily tossed them all on the ground, planning to collect them once the Heavenly Tribulation was over.

No sooner had Qi Tian cleared out the storage area of the Heavenly Dao Engine than he heard the dense sound of thunder from above. He looked up and saw that in the midst of the Tribulation Clouds, the Thunder Snakes were becoming more violent, and streaks of lightning flashed within the clouds, casting Qi Tian’s face in alternating shades of green and white.

Qi Tian dared not delay and quickly raised his hand, his palm opening to a dark void, and released all of the Transporting Whirlwinds again. Before the Transporting Whirlwinds could rise up, two Tribulation Thunders from within the clouds simultaneously broke free of their restraints and crashed down from the sky, heading straight for Qi Tian.

The Transporting Whirlwinds swiftly met them, trying just as before to entangle both Tribulation Thunders at the same time and drag them into the storage area of the Heavenly Dao Engine to serve as fuel for the engine.

This time, the Transporting Whirlwinds were once again successful, almost simultaneously dragging both Tribulation Thunders into the black hole in Qi Tian’s palm. Afterward, Qi Tian felt the rhythm of the Heavenly Dao Engine again, and this time the commotion it caused was even more intense. Qi Tian immediately made a rather clear judgment—the two Tribulation Thunders must be the limit for the Heavenly Dao Engine. If any more Tribulation Thunders were to enter the Heavenly Dao Engine at the same time, it would likely be impossible for it to bear the strain, and there was a risk that it might explode.

Qi Tian furrowed his brow deeply with concern, but there was very little he could do at the moment, only hoping that the Heavenly Tribulation would end soon or, if it continued, that it would not bring down too many more Tribulation Thunders.

It seemed that Heaven either did not hear Qi Tian’s prayers or heard them but did not take them seriously. Once more, the rumbling of thunder sounded from the Tribulation Clouds above Eastern Capital City. Within the dense clouds, the Thunder Snakes moved even more vigorously, and soon, three Thunder Snakes burst forth, converging on Qi Tian.

Qi Tian’s eyes widened in shock; he had not expected the Heavenly Tribulation to descend so swiftly this time, with the interval between this and the last one noticeably shorter. With so little time passing, the Heavenly Dao Engine had not yet digested the two Tribulation Thunders it had just absorbed. At this point, introducing more Tribulation Thunders into the storage area of the Heavenly Dao Engine was definitely not a good choice.

With time of the essence, Qi Tian did not have the luxury to think more. He once more dispatched all the Transporting Whirlwinds through the black hole in his palm. Qi Tian decided to take a risk and make an attempt—if he could succeed, it would give him more confidence in getting through the Heavenly Tribulation that lay ahead.

After the Transporting Whirlwinds flew out of Qi Tian’s palm, they split into three groups. One group entangled one of the Tribulation Thunders, while the other two groups each targeted the remaining two. After the first group of Transporting Whirlwinds wrapped up the Tribulation Thunder, they continued to pull it toward the black hole in Qi Tian’s palm, intending to convert this Tribulation Thunder into fuel for the Heavenly Dao Engine. As for the last two Tribulation Thunders, Qi Tian dared not let the Transporting Whirlwinds pull them close to him; instead, he directed the Whirlwinds to strike them directly towards the Eternal Life Studio beside him.

With a thunderous boom, the Tribulation Thunder struck directly atop the Eternal Life Studio. This ancient building, boasting a hundred-year history and a beautiful design, protected by a Defense Magic Array, crumbled to the ground in an instant, turning to ruins. The Defense Magic Array that Su Jinghan had set up here was as fragile as tofu residue against the attack of the Tribulation Thunder and proved utterly useless.

Observing such an outcome, Qi Tian’s thoughts raced. He suddenly had an idea. The Tribulation Thunder born from the Heavenly Tribulation could be used not only as fuel for the Heavenly Dao Engine to enhance his strength but also possibly for other purposes.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qi Tian’s mouth as his gaze shifted in a certain direction—toward the Treasure Pavilion of Jianwu Palace, Emperor Jianwu’s private treasury. Emperor Jianwu had stored many cultivation resources there. To protect the Treasure Pavilion, numerous restrictions and Defense Magic Arrays, most of which were of Half-step Nascent Soul level, had been placed around it. Qi Tian alone, with his own strength, could not break through these restrictions and Defense Magic Arrays.

The Tribulation Thunder that the Heavenly Tribulation used to strike him equaled the full-force blow of a cultivator at the Half-step Nascent Soul level. Its power was immense and could potentially obliterate all the restrictions and the Defense Magic Arrays outside the Treasure Pavilion. This would provide Qi Tian the chance to sweep Emperor Jianwu’s treasures accumulated over hundreds of years clean in one move.

However, after a moment’s thought, Qi Tian abandoned this idea. After all, Emperor Jianwu was his Immortal Slave, and as a master, he had never stooped to plunder the cultivation resources of his own Immortal Slave. Such an act was simply too indecent.

Of course, choosing not to plunder Emperor Jianwu’s cultivation resources did not mean Qi Tian could not take this opportunity to make a small fortune. His gaze quickly moved to another imperial palace, Wenzhi Palace, which neighbored Jianwu Palace.

There were a total of six imperial palaces in the Eastern Capital City, with Wenzhi Palace and Huoyang Palace being the neighbors of Jianwu Palace. Because Huoyang Palace had participated in the siege of Jianwu Palace, Emperor Jianwu himself had operated the Killing Array and targeted Huoyang Palace, destroying a small part of it. In order to save his Huoyang Palace, the Huoyang Emperor quickly submitted, and Emperor Jianwu spared him, then turned his attention to Wenzhi Palace.

Logically, the damaged Huoyang Palace would be more suitable for Qi Tian to plunder at this time. However, the Huoyang Emperor reacted swiftly. After obtaining Emperor Jianwu’s forgiveness, he immediately secured all the cultivation resources from the treasure trove of Huoyang Palace. His original intention was that with Huoyang Palace damaged, it was no longer safe to keep the resources there. He planned to relocate them back to the Treasure Pavilion once the palace was rebuilt. Little did he know that this unintended move of his saved those hard-accumulated cultivation resources, allowing them to escape a disaster.

Qi Tian looked up at the Tribulation Clouds again and noticed that they showed no signs of dissipating. Moreover, the Thunder Snakes within the clouds were becoming increasingly fierce. It seemed that the heavens were not inclined to spare him and were prepared to keep striking him.

Qi Tian did not linger any longer at the original spot. He leapt into the air, activating his movement technique, and flew towards Wenzhi Palace at the greatest speed. In normal times, with its tight defenses and countless experts, Qi Tian wouldn’t dare assault Wenzhi Palace so brazenly even if he had ten times the gall. But now, like Jianwu Palace, from Emperor Wenzhi down to every cultivator of Wenzhi Palace, all had evacuated, leaving the palace desolately empty, making it the perfect target for Qi Tian’s move.
