Seeing that the five Princes remained silent, Qi Tian directly called on someone. He pointed at Emperor Jianwu and said, “Lord Jianwu, why don’t you tell us what we should do?”

Emperor Jianwu hadn’t wanted to stand out, but now that Qi Tian had named him, he had no choice but to speak. He hurriedly said, “Master Qi, as the saying goes, ‘Meet the soldiers with generals, and the flood with earth.’ This inner underground tomb gate is our only path into the Inner Underground Palace, so no matter what challenges this tomb gate presents to us, we cannot avoid them; we must face them. Since you, Master Qi, mentioned that the inner tomb gate might contain even more Millennium Corpse Water, then what we can do is prepare specifically for that possibility.”

Qi Tian asked, “Then tell me, what kind of preparations? You don’t have Qingtian Jade in your hands, is there any other method that can stop the Millennium Corpse Water?”

Emperor Jianwu said, “Perhaps we can stop the Millennium Corpse Water without using Qingtian Jade. First, with you, Master Qi, present, since you were able to collect the Millennium Corpse Water once, you should be able to do it a second time. Of course, I don’t mean to say that you should keep doing this sort of thing. Your presence is for preventing emergencies; you are the biggest trump card in our entire team and should not be easily deployed. Secondly, I think we can try to set up some spells, prepare some magical artifacts. Although Millennium Corpse Water is highly corrosive and poisonous, it certainly has some weaknesses. We just need to make some preparations based on these weaknesses, and we should be able to solve the problem.”

“Emperor Jianwu is correct,” Emperor Bahuang chimed in at this point. “Although Millennium Corpse Water is extremely difficult to deal with, upon detailed analysis, the most challenging aspect of it is how to store it. Ordinary items really struggle to contain it, and any magical artifact that comes into contact with it will corrode away in a very short time. We cannot find, and therefore do not have Qingtian Jade, so we cannot solve the problem of long-term storage, but we can think about it from another angle. Though we can’t store it for a long duration, we can store it for a short time, keeping it for a few minutes or maybe even a bit longer. With that much time, we can collect the Millennium Corpse Water and then, with containers holding the Corpse Water, quickly leave the Saint’s Tomb, go outside, find a place to dispose of it directly, and that would settle it, right?”

Qi Tian smiled and nodded. Emperor Bahuang’s method was indeed a possible solution, but the problem was that the Saint’s Tomb’s passageways had already been completely covered by restrictions and spells, preventing not only outsiders but also those within the Saint’s Tomb from leaving. Someone trying to carry a container of Millennium Corpse Water out of the Saint’s Tomb in a short time was simply impossible.

However, putting that aside, Emperor Bahuang’s method was not a bad emergency solution.

Qi Tian hadn’t been insistent on forcing the five Princes to find a solution to the Millennium Corpse Water; he had simply been using this method to remind the Princes and the other Gold Core Realm experts to always stay alert, not to become conceited or let their guard down. The best method to deal with the Millennium Corpse Water at this stage was to use his “Transporting Whirlwind” to form containers, intended solely for holding the Coronse Water, but this was not something Qi Tian would reveal to Emperor Bahuang and the others.

Qi Tian said, “Let’s leave the topic of Millennium Corpse Water here. I remind all the Princes and everyone else to prepare well. Next, we will begin attacking the inner tomb gate, aiming to open it as quickly as possible. Emperor Bahuang, you are the strongest among the five Princes, so this time’s operation to attack the inner tomb gate will be under your command.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Bahuang was overjoyed and bowed to Qi Tian repeatedly to express his gratitude for the recognition.

Qi Tian waved his hand and said nothing more, simply stepping aside to become a hands-off supervisor, watching as Lord Jianwu, Emperor Bahuang, and the others went about their work.

As for how to open the inner tomb gate, they had already discussed it, so there was no need for further discussion. Emperor Bahuang began directing the other four Princes, coordinating their actions with his commands.

Soon, the five Princes, as if injected with adrenaline, readily deployed their signature spells, directing them at the inner tomb gate.

None of these five Princes was weak; Emperor Bahuang and Emperor Jianwu had both just ascended to the Gold Core Stage Eighth Level, while the other three Princes—the Huoyang Emperor, Emperor Wenzhi, and Emperor Yonghe—were all at the Golden Core Stage Seventh Level. The spells they cast were very powerful; if the five of them were to target a mountain, they could flatten its peak in no time. But here, when their combined spells struck the inner tomb gate, it remained unmoved, without the slightest effect.

In the face of Qi Tian, the five Princes failed to even shake the inner tomb gate, leaving Emperor Jianwu and the others somewhat unable to accept it. Being Princes, they couldn’t handle even this small task, so how would Qi Tian view them afterward? Moreover, their subordinates standing behind them might eventually turn today’s events into a joke, laughing about it from time to time in the future. Just the thought of their actions today becoming fodder for others’ amusement made Emperor Jianwu and his companions seethe with anger, their internal rage billowing forth.
