Qi Tian decided to collect the glaze sand into the Heavenly Dao Engine’s storage chamber, extract its energy, and convert it into fuel for the Heavenly Dao Engine. Although this felt somewhat regrettable, it was the only thing Qi Tian could do at the moment.

Glaze sand is an extremely precious natural treasure, and this particular piece, once the core of a small sandstorm, also possessed intelligence. It was truly extraordinary and, if he could harness it for himself, it would be of significant help to Qi Tian.

Even if we take a step back, if the glaze sand is a material needed by the Heavenly Dao Engine, and allowing the Heavenly Dao Engine to absorb it could enhance its quality, then, for Qi Tian, this would also be a nice option. However, up to this point, the glaze sand had not caused any special reaction in the Heavenly Dao Engine, meaning it was of almost no help in improving the quality of the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Making such a choice, Qi Tian only felt it was a pity, but for him at this time, this was the resulting choice after having no other alternatives. He sighed, then said, “Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance, it’s really that you don’t know how to appreciate it. Well, let’s just say we were destined to meet but not destined to be together. I’ll collect you now.”

After speaking, at the thought from Qi Tian, the Transporting Whirlwind tugged on the glaze sand, which flew toward the palm of Qi Tian’s hand.

The struggle of the glaze sand became even more intense. It had fought Qi Tian for so long and had already discovered that his palm was especially terrifying. The numerous sandstorms it had released, each possessing startling energy, had been swept into Qi Tian’s palm without exception by the Transporting Whirlwind, and then completely vanished. For the glaze sand, this was absolutely horrifying.

The glaze sand struggled fiercely, and even as the Transporting Whirlwind desperately pulled, there was a sense it couldn’t fully control the glaze sand.

Qi Tian frowned slightly and said, “Your struggle is futile. Since you refuse to submit to me, your fate is already sealed. Although it’s a pity to erase you, there’s no other way. I’m sorry, accept your fate.”

With that, Qi Tian directed even more Transporting Whirlwinds to the glaze sand, wrapping it layer by layer, just like wrapping a zongzi, leaving no room for the glaze sand to move.

At this time, the glaze sand realized the severity of the situation and hurriedly changed its previously uncooperative attitude. While continuing to struggle with all its might, it attempted to communicate with Qi Tian.

Though it possessed intelligence, it did not master the language of cultivators, nor could it make sounds like kittens or puppies. It could only control the vast energy within itself to extract a strand and then allow it to maintain a regular fluctuation, hoping to communicate with Qi Tian in this manner and receive a response from him.

If this were another person, the glaze sand’s method of communication could easily be overlooked. In this small space, which was very unfriendly to cultivators, one could not see with eyes nor use Divine Sense—it was quite difficult to capture the Spirit Force fluctuations released by the glaze sand.

However, Qi Tian was different from other cultivators; he habitually maintained surveillance of his surroundings through the Heavenly Dao Engine. He captured the Spirit Force fluctuations released by the glaze sand immediately.

Qi Tian was struck by a thought. Although he didn’t quite believe that the glaze sand would submit to him at the last moment, he still harbored a glimmer of hope and asked, “Have you changed your mind? Do you wish to submit to me?”

The glaze sand continued to release Spirit Force fluctuations, but what they actually signified, Qi Tian had no idea. He could only be sure of one thing—that the Spirit Force fluctuations released by the glaze sand at this moment were different from those before, and that was all.

If he were to adopt the glaze sand’s method of communication, it would be a genius feat for Qi Tian to understand the glaze sand’s intentions within three to five months. Qi Tian had no desire to guess what the glaze sand really wanted. He said directly, “If you wish to submit to me, then stop releasing Spirit Force fluctuations. I will count to ten, and during my count, you must remain silent. After I finish counting, you may continue releasing Spirit Force fluctuations.”

No sooner had Qi Tian spoken than the glaze sand’s Spirit Force fluctuations ceased. Qi Tian felt a slight surge of joy, but still maintained his composure and began to count in an unhurried manner. He started at one and continued on, quickly reaching ten.

During this time, the glaze sand really did remain silent, never going against Qi Tian’s request. When Qi Tian finished counting, the glaze sand once again eagerly conveyed new Spirit Force fluctuations to Qi Tian. At this point, Qi Tian could finally be certain the glaze sand was willing to submit to him.

Qi Tian exhaled in relief, his lips curling slightly, but he swiftly restrained his smile—it was not yet time to smile.

Having chosen to submit to him, Qi Tian was then faced with a very practical problem: how should he establish the master-servant relationship between himself and the glaze sand?

Despite its intelligence, the glaze sand lacked a soul and a Sea of Consciousness, making it impossible to collect it as an Immortal Slave like he did with Gao Jinmei. Moreover, glaze sand, a wise spirit, was a completely different existence from cultivators. The Servant Pact that could subjugate cultivators as Immortal Slaves was not applicable to spirits.
