To prevent such a scenario from happening, Emperor Bahuang gritted his teeth and decided to assimilate the opportunity he had acquired. Wasn’t it just a tainted treasure? From what he observed, the tainted part comprised only a minuscule portion, not even one percent; more than ninety-nine percent of it was still intact. A treasure of such caliber in the Cultivation World was extremely valuable. Anyone who obtained it would cherish it immensely and would not discard it. They would think of using this treasure to enhance their strength.

There might be certain risks involved in using it, but these risks were relatively small. Moreover, Emperor Bahuang had sufficient confidence in his formidable strength that even if there was a risk while using this treasure, he should be able to rely on his rich experience to smoothly overcome it, turning risks into opportunities, thus allowing a noticeable improvement in his strength and maintaining his position within the entire team.

With this determination, Emperor Bahuang swallowed the treasure and devoted himself to cultivating, attempting to advance.

Initially, everything went smoothly. As the Spirit Qi of the treasure began to release, his strength slowly started to increase. However, when it came time for Emperor Bahuang to break through from the Seventh to the Eighth Level of the Gold Core Stage, problems arose.

Whenever he mustered all his strength to strike at the barrier between the two minor realms, his spirit would inevitably suffer interference, unable to fully concentrate. This was like speeding on a racetrack where the slightest distraction could lead to a crash and even death.

Realizing that something was amiss, Emperor Bahuang was reluctant to halt his attempt to reach the new realm. After all, having reached this point after much difficulty and on the verge of success, it was hard to give up. Moreover, even if he did give up, who could guarantee that he wouldn’t encounter a similar situation the next time he attempted to break through? If it were still the same then, what should he do?

Emperor Bahuang chose to persevere. Relying on his strong cultivation and extensive experience, he overcame the spiritual disturbances, suppressed the distractions, and focused on the breakthrough. After several attempts, he succeeded and advanced to the Eighth Level of the Gold Core Stage. But just then, an accident occurred. After his cultivation improved, not only did his strength grow, but the disturbances to his spirit also increased significantly, and the extent of the increase far exceeded the growth of his strength. Emperor Bahuang had been forcibly suppressing it without finding a solution; now, no matter what, he could not keep suppressing it. Consequently, Emperor Bahuang suffered a backlash.

When Qi Tian suddenly sensed that unstable Spirit Force fluctuation, it was the beginning of Emperor Bahuang’s backlash. Even though Qi Tian rushed over as quickly as he could, in such a short period, Emperor Bahuang’s condition had already deteriorated severely. The Spirit Force fluctuations emanating from his body grew more violent and unstable, akin to a bomb about to explode at any moment.

This is no exaggeration; if left unchecked, Emperor Bahuang could indeed detonate.

In such a relatively enclosed space, the explosion of a Gold Core Stage powerhouse who had just advanced to the Eighth Level would inevitably inflict catastrophic damage on all cultivators in the Outer Palaces. The consequences were unimaginable.

Qi Tian could clearly feel the violent and unstable Spirit Force fluctuations from Emperor Bahuang, who was on the brink of self-destruction; maybe in the next instant, Emperor Bahuang would explode. Time did not allow Qi Tian to overthink or calculate how to resolve the crisis at hand.

Almost instinctively, Qi Tian rushed to Emperor Bahuang’s side and shouted, “Quickly stretch out your hand.”

At that moment, what was fortunate was that although Emperor Bahuang was close to exploding, his mind remained clear and he was not in a state of unconsciousness. He knew that Qi Tian was rushing over to save him, not to harm him or to watch him self-destruct. He promptly complied with Qi Tian’s demand and stretched out his hand.

Qi Tian’s fingertip slid across the palm of Emperor Bahuang, making a cut directly in the center, then he grasped Emperor Bahuang’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, leave everything to me.”

As a prince, Emperor Bahuang had never submitted to anyone in his life. Even after becoming Qi Tian’s Immortal Slave, his respect or fear for Qi Tian was often superficial, and deep down he retained some pride. However, for some reason, when Qi Tian took his hand, he felt a sense of relief. Perhaps it was Qi Tian’s calm demeanor or his disregard for danger that created this illusion in Emperor Bahuang.

The moment he held Emperor Bahuang’s hand, the black hole in Qi Tian’s palm opened up, and the Transporting Whirlwinds rushed out, entering Emperor Bahuang’s meridians through the wound in his palm.

At that moment, if Qi Tian wished, he could drain all the True Essence from Emperor Bahuang’s meridians and turn Emperor Bahuang into a dried corpse—it was just a matter of intention for him. However, Qi Tian did not do so. He controlled the Transporting Whirlwinds to charge into several of Emperor Bahuang’s main meridians, targeting the places where the Spirit Force fluctuations were especially abnormal.
