Regardless, whether everyone possessed the Blue White Jade or not, the Millennium Corpse Water had to be dealt with; it could no longer remain in hand. Otherwise, it would be a major safety risk, whether for Qi Tian or for Emperor Jianwu and company, as it could pose a tremendous danger.

Since Emperor Jianwu and the others were unable to assist Qi Tian with this matter, Qi Tian had to figure out a solution on his own. His thoughts returned to the Transporting Whirlwind which, until now, had been intertwined with the Millennium Corpse Water without suffering any damage, maintaining its original shape.

Qi Tian had no other choice but to risk making an attempt. When he first obtained the Heavenly Dao Engine, the accompanying number of Transporting Whirlwinds was few. Now, there were many more. At this moment, Qi Tian activated them all to lock down the Millennium Corpse Water, preventing it from falling or flying off to another location.

Qi Tian prepared to experiment with the Transporting Whirlwind. He carefully controlled it, separating one, and then issued a clear command trying to change its shape from a spiral to a square. However, after multiple attempts, he still failed to succeed.

Left with no other option, Qi Tian had to switch to a different method. This time, he tried to make the Transporting Whirlwind spherical, but the result was still unsuccessful. After several more attempts with different strategies, he wanted to use the Transporting Whirlwind as an outer shell to finally form a container and then try to trap the Millennium Corpse Water within. But no matter how hard he tried, the Transporting Whirlwind simply could not morph into the shape he required.

The shape of the Transporting Whirlwind was almost set in stone, just like a mini tornado that could stretch longer or shorter but could never change into any other shape.

Just as Qi Tian was at his wit’s end, his gaze suddenly swept towards a Water Tornado, and his eyes lit up; he thought of a shape that might solve the problem he was facing.

Abandoning his previous thoughts, Qi Tian squeezed out another Transporting Whirlwind from the many and paired it with the first to form a pair, a “CP,” and then commanded this pair to connect mouth-to-mouth. To his surprise, it worked extremely smoothly; the two Transporting Whirlwinds tightly joined together, each rotating without interfering with the other.

The shape formed by the two Transporting Whirlwinds resembled that of a rugby ball: thicker in the middle and pointed at both ends, with a tightly sealed exterior. In their midst, they formed a considerable space suitable for storing items.

Qi Tian didn’t know if this attempt would be successful, but he still had the Transporting Whirlwinds wrapped with the Millennium Corpse Water open a crack, and a significant amount of it immediately poured out, heading straight toward the inner gate of the tomb.

Qi Tian couldn’t possibly let the Millennium Corpse Water return to its old den; he immediately directed the paired Transporting Whirlwinds, blocking the path of the escaping Millennium Corpse Water. Effortlessly, the pair of Transporting Whirlwinds absorbed the Millennium Corpse Water into the space they had formed.

The Millennium Corpse Water raged and thrashed within this space, never giving up on the intention to return to its den. However, no matter how it collided, as soon as it touched the Transporting Whirlwinds, the Whirlwinds would unceremoniously entangle it and toss it back into the space they had created, giving no chance for escape.

Seeing this, Qi Tian was overjoyed. He once again released a certain amount of Millennium Corpse Water and repeated the process, thus bringing this portion under control as well.

The success of the second attempt gave Qi Tian enough confidence. On the third try, he caused the Transporting Whirlwinds to open an even wider gap, releasing a larger quantity of Millennium Corpse Water. This attempt was also very successful, with no failure.

With that settled, Qi Tian completely relaxed. He then mobilized another pair of Transporting Whirlwinds to form the second container and, along with the first container of Whirlwinds, began to gather and store the Millennium Corpse Water.

Indeed, there was an abundant amount of Millennium Corpse Water. In the end, Qi Tian deployed six Transporting Whirlwinds to form three containers, and only then successfully collected all of the Millennium Corpse Water.

Afterward, Qi Tian controlled these three containers and, via the black hole in his palm, stored them all in the fuel chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine for temporary keeping.

Qi Tian planned to find a suitable place to dispose of the Millennium Corpse Water after leaving the Saint’s Tomb. For now, he could only have the Millennium Corpse Water take up the six Transporting Whirlwinds, which although diminished his efficiency in some activities, was something he had to do out of necessity. Even if he was reluctant, he had no choice but to continue.

Emperor Jianwu and company watched all this in stunned silence. None of them had anticipated beforehand that Qi Tian would perform such a series of miraculous operations. Although they could see clearly what Qi Tian was doing, there were many aspects they did not understand.

While Qi Tian was performing this series of operations, from beginning to end, Emperor Jianwu and the others could not see the Transporting Whirlwinds or the black hole in Qi Tian’s palm. All they saw was the Millennium Corpse Water inexplicably dividing into three parts, and then like three unwilling dogs, flying towards Qi Tian’s palm and disappearing without a trace.
