Chapter 1142: Chapter 0666: Most Optimistic About You_2 Chapter 1142: Chapter 0666: Most Optimistic About You_2 Among the five princes, only Emperor Jianwu, who was initially confused, seemed to sense something as time went on. After carefully confirming with his own methods, his face lit up with surprise, and he said, “Master Qi, have you discovered a small dimension?”

Qi Tian nodded and said, “Indeed, I have discovered a small dimension here, and it is vast, quite a bit larger than the one you have, Lord Jianwu. I want to take this small dimension with me, but I lack the means to do so. Therefore, I have invited all the princes here, in hopes of gathering your wisdom and assisting me in figuring out a way to take this small dimension with us. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this, all the princes showed faces filled with envy, including Emperor Jianwu, who already possessed a small dimension. As an owner of a small dimension, no one else present understood better the tremendous advantage of having one. Not to mention anything else, just speaking of avoiding the Heavenly Tribulation, a small dimension offered an unparalleled edge. Had it not been for the small dimension providing him a place to hide, how could he have survived until now? He would have long been dead due to the Heavenly Decline.

Emperor Bahuang was the quickest to respond; he was also the strongest among the five princes. He took the lead and said, “Master Qi, if you trust me, you can leave the handling of this small dimension to me. I will make sure it’s done beautifully, and then it will be ready for you to take away.”

Emperor Jianwu quickly said, “Master Qi, this task should be entrusted to me. Among us, only I have experience dealing with small dimensions. No one can do it better than I can.”

The other three princes, not wanting to be left behind, each expressed their willingness to make an attempt and manage the small dimension for Qi Tian. Not a single prince declared themselves incapable of the task at this point, nor did anyone ask for compensation.

Qi Tian had already reconsidered how to deal with the small dimension while waiting for the princes to arrive.

Indeed, if he simply wanted to maximize his gains, then taking the small dimension with him, leaving the Imperial Family Secret Territory, and finding an opportunity to sell it later might be the best choice. However, from another perspective, this approach might also be inappropriate. If he did so, it would only take into account his own interests, neglecting the immediate challenges ahead.

The most pressing issue wasn’t how many cultivation resources he could exchange for the small dimension in the future, but whether he could acquire as much fortune as possible in the upcoming exploration of the Saint’s Tomb, while still preserving his own safety.

To solve this problem, he needed to put some more thought into it. The handling of this small dimension should be even more secure and in line with the current situation.

Qi Tian eventually decided to shift his focus, no longer dwelling on the future benefits of the small dimension.

As he watched the five princes competing before him, Qi Tian raised his hand and gestured, saying, “Princes, if I’m not mistaken, you should all possess the methods to handle a small dimension, and you should all want this small dimension. It’s a pity that there is only one. I’ve made my decision; I’m not going to take this small dimension with me. Instead, I’ll offer it as a reward during this exploration of the Saint’s Tomb. Among you five princes, whoever gives the greatest effort and makes the highest contribution will receive this small dimension after the exploration is over. Your chances are all equal, princes; to win it, prove to everyone and earn the recognition that you deserve to have it.”

After hearing Qi Tian’s promise, all five princes’ eyes shone brightly, fully aware of the immense value of the small dimension—it was priceless.

Such a precious small dimension, which Qi Tian intended to give as a reward to the most diligent among them, was something they hadn’t even dared to dream of. But their master, Qi Tian, was indeed willing to do so, which only increased their admiration for him, while the glances they exchanged with one another were now sparking with rivalry.

Even if for no other reason, simply because of this small space, one must not slacken in the slightest during the subsequent exploration of the Saint’s Tomb. One must give it one’s all, keeping no secrets.

Upon seeing the expressions of Emperor Jianwu and the others, Qi Tian knew that he had made the right decision this time. With the small space as a reward, he was not worried that the Princes wouldn’t bring out their most guarded abilities during the exploration of the Saint’s Tomb. He said, “Emperor Bahuang, please trouble yourself to collect the small space for me, and then hand it over to me for safekeeping. After the exploration is over, we can decide to whom the small space will belong.”

Emperor Bahuang was thrilled to be named by Qi Tian. Collecting the small space was an unprecedented experience for him and an extremely rare opportunity. Even if Emperor Bahuang could not obtain the small space afterward, the mere experience of collecting it was a significant gain for him.

Emperor Bahuang hurriedly thanked Qi Tian and then began to collect the small space.

Collecting the small space was a tedious process. If things went quickly, it could still consume half a day’s time. If the collection did not go smoothly, it could take three to five days, or even more than ten days.

Qi Tian could not possibly allow everyone to waste their time here. He asked Emperor Bahuang to stay and help him collect the small space, and sent Emperor Jianwu and the others back, asking them to continue with their preparations at the Saint’s Tomb.

Emperor Bahuang only had theoretical knowledge about collecting small spaces and had never practiced it. Qi Tian asked him not to rush, to take it slow, and to consider every step carefully and explain it clearly. This was to prevent Emperor Bahuang from making mistakes during the collection, but it was also for Qi Tian to seize the opportunity to learn surreptitiously.

Emperor Bahuang had no reason to doubt, and even if he did suspect something, what could he do? He certainly didn’t have the courage to send away his master, Qi Tian.

Qi Tian took the initiative to assist Emperor Bahuang and actively asked questions whenever he did not understand. Emperor Bahuang explained the ins and outs to him patiently, and in this way, the two cooperated and finally made the arrangements.

Emperor Bahuang asked Qi Tian to step back, then started to clasp the Sspirit rune and cast a spell towards the position of the small space to begin the collection.

In the Imperial Family Secret Territory where Qi Tian was located, the small space was just a point in space. It appeared insignificant, but when Emperor Bahuang collected it, the area around the small space resonated with thundering noises, deafening like thunder, and at the same time, the space surrounding the small space kept distorting as if someone was grasping radish leaves, attempting to pull out a radish buried deep in the soil.

The entire process was very strenuous for Emperor Bahuang. He lost a lot of energy and spirit, and by the end, he was pale and soaked in sweat. However, as the strongest of the five Princes, Emperor Bahuang lived up to his reputation. With his continuous efforts, he managed to wrench the small space from its original location through spellcasting, and finally, it turned into something like an ordinary crystal sphere, floating in the air before landing in Emperor Bahuang’s hands.

Looking at the crystal sphere in his palm, radiant with colors, a glint of greed flashed in Emperor Bahuang’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. Emperor Bahuang had not lost his sense. He did not have the audacity to snatch what belonged to Qi Tian. Reluctantly, he handed the small space over to Qi Tian, asking him to take it.

Qi Tian did not stand on ceremony and directly collected the small space. Then he patted Emperor Bahuang on the shoulder and supported his back, saying, “Emperor Bahuang, among the Princes who have come this time, I am most impressed with you. Your strength is the strongest among the Princes. During this exploration of the Saint’s Tomb, you have the highest possibility of achieving great merit. You must perform well and not disappoint me. I am looking forward to the moment I can hand over the small space to you in front of everyone.”
