After the Transporting Whirlwind was deployed, it promptly arrived at the wall where the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider had hidden itself, rapidly encircling it in a pincer move. They clung to the wall, intent on dragging it away from its original location, much like dragging a dead dog.

The whole process was unexpectedly smooth, without the slightest hitch. Most worrying for Qi Tian, the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider did not appear at all, as if it had never existed, which was very strange.

This was highly abnormal and not at all what Qi Tian had envisioned. He had indeed planned to drag the entire wall, along with the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider within, into the storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine regardless of everything else, to convert it into fuel first before discussing other matters. However, this was predicated on the elimination of the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider; if the spider wasn’t sitting tight within the wall, it would be meaningless for Qi Tian to convert the wall and its contents into fuel.

Moreover, Qi Tian recalled another matter; even if he managed to drag the wall into the storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine, it might not necessarily be convertible into fuel for the engine.

The materials used in the wall naturally blocked the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine. If the engine couldn’t even sense its presence, how could it convert it into fuel?

However, this thought merely flashed through Qi Tian’s mind and was gone instantly. He ceased to consider other things and ordered the lustrous sand and the nine ghost faces to remain vigilant around the other walls and the coffin in the center of the Inner Underground Palace. He then shifted his focus to the storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine.

He watched as the Heavenly Dao Engine attempted to convert the wall into fuel. Even if it couldn’t be done successfully, he wanted to witness it with his own eyes before proceeding further.

The Transporting Whirlwind, dragging the wall closer and closer to the black hole in Qi Tian’s palm, was nearly at hand. Just a little while longer and the wall would enter through his palm and ultimately reach the storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine. This was an unavoidable procedure, a task he must undertake.

However, just as this process was about to be completed, Qi Tian suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of palpitation, as if something particularly bad was about to happen.

Qi Tian almost instinctively directed his gaze toward the encroaching wall and immediately activated the Spirit Qi sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine, scanning the entire Inner Underground Palace and the wall in front of his eyes in the hopes of determining the source of danger. Nonetheless, there was no result. Although he had separated this wall from the others, and it was now very close to him, this did nothing to change the fact that the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine couldn’t penetrate the wall.

Not only did this wall block the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine, but the other walls and the coffin placed in the center of the Inner Underground Palace also strongly repelled its sensing function. In their presence, the sensing function of the engine was completely ineffective.

The feeling of palpitation in Qi Tian’s heart grew stronger, suggesting that danger was drawing nearer. However, Qi Tian could not determine where exactly the danger stemmed from. Out of caution, he ordered the ghost faces and lustrous sand to stay on alert once again, simultaneously commanding the Transporting Whirlwind to halt the wall’s movement toward him.

After issuing a series of commands, Qi Tian didn’t feel the sense of palpitation subside. On the contrary, the feeling was still present and incredibly intense.

Qi Tian didn’t know how to dispel this feeling of palpitation, but understood that at this moment, it was best to halt any unnecessary actions and not do anything that might hasten the approach of danger.

The danger could come from various places. Qi Tian could almost determine the potential directions—the coffin in the center of the Inner Underground Palace, the walls that had not been moved, and especially this wall close to him, which once sheltered the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider and was the most suspicious.

Qi Tian was extremely perplexed, uncertain which to disqualify as the source of danger. At this moment, his insufficient knowledge base became apparent. If he had read relevant texts or had an elder share similar experiences, he might have identified the source of danger in the shortest time. But lacking relevant experience and knowledge, Qi Tian had to rely on his own means and past experience to make a judgment.

This approach was somewhat unreliable. If the Heavenly Dao Engine could disregard all obstacles and reveal the interiors of both the wall and the coffin, Qi Tian would not be as conflicted and directionless as he was now.

Currently, Qi Tian had nothing solid to rely upon, nobody to offer suggestions, and no experience to draw from. His only dependability was his intuition, or rather, his judgment. Making the right judgment would mean everything would turn out fine, but if he erred, he would have to bear the risk brought on by a wrong decision.
