In dealing with the Millennium Corpse Water, one must be cautious. Qi Tian once again tried to sense the exact location of the Liuli Sand, but nothing changed. Although he could not precisely pinpoint the Liuli Sand’s location, he was certain that it was in this area.

Scratching his head, Qi Tian found the situation somewhat troublesome. He now had to figure out solutions for two difficulties, the first of which was certainly how to transfer the Millennium Corpse Water.

Before entering the Inner Underground Palace, Qi Tian had already dealt with the Millennium Corpse Water once, and there was still some of it carefully stored in the Heavenly Dao Engine’s storage room. Trying to repeat that process was not an easy task. The amount of Millennium Corpse Water sprayed out from the palace gates was limited, and although Qi Tian could barely manage to preserve it with his techniques, there must be a not-so-small chamber behind the wall. If that chamber was entirely filled with Millennium Corpse Water, the amount would be truly terrifying, and it would be impossible for Qi Tian to transfer it all, even using all his methods.

This actually wasn’t the hardest part. The most difficult issue was how to make the Millennium Corpse Water flow out of the chamber when it was already inside.

The malevolence of Millennium Corpse Water was well known; one touch meant death, with no second outcome. Whether Qi Tian needed to drill a hole in the wall or use some other method, he would inevitably face the issue of coming into contact with the Millennium Corpse Water. If he couldn’t solve this problem, then whatever he used to complete this step would at least cost him a Nascent Soul Level magical artifact, a price he found hard to accept.

After much contemplation, Qi Tian decided to use the Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills once more to see if he could further strengthen his sensing connection with the Liuli Sand and accurately determine its location.

Qi Tian soon completed the third Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills, but unexpectedly, this time the spell seemed to have no effect. After completing the spell, he still couldn’t precisely locate the Liuli Sand, he could only confirm that it was within this area.

Such a result was naturally unsatisfactory to Qi Tian. He hesitated about whether to try other methods to enhance his sensing connection with the Liuli Sand. After some thought, however, Qi Tian temporarily dismissed this idea. He had already cast the Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills three times in a row, and using similar spells too many times for the same purpose could potentially render an originally effective spell ineffective. It was best to let it cool down for a while.

Qi Tian continued to observe the wall that blocked the Millennium Corpse Water. The left and right sides of this wall were originally connected to other walls, but now the walls on both sides had disappeared, leaving a spacious chamber. In other words, if the place holding the Millennium Corpse Water was seen as a pool, then the front, left, and right sides of this pool had been exposed, with only the top, bottom, and rear not yet out in the open.

An idea suddenly flashed through Qi Tian’s mind: since three sides were already exposed, why not excavate the remaining three sides and expose them as well? Then, perhaps he could drag this large pool wrapped in Millennium Corpse Water into the Heavenly Dao Engine’s storage room, move it outside the Saint’s Tomb, find a place to release all the Millennium Corpse Water within, and then he would be free to look for the Liuli Sand, wouldn’t he?

Thinking this, Qi Tian’s eyes suddenly brightened. He immediately gathered all the ghost faces and divided them into two groups. One group was responsible for vigilance, handling any unexpected situations, while the other group started to excavate the area with him, preparing to dig out the entire pool holding the Millennium Corpse Water.

The excavation went very smoothly. Despite many parts of the Saint’s Tomb seeming quite sturdy, to the point where even Nascent Soul Stage flying swords could hardly damage them, this sturdiness was not universal. Qi Tian had already dug through the strongest wall, and although the other areas were also relatively solid, they were much more malleable in comparison, making them easier to excavate.

Qi Tian was responsible for excavating the area at the back. Starting from an adjacent chamber, he first dug a hole through which he could enter and then began the excavation.

Qi Tian kept one thing in mind: he was, after all, in the Saint’s Tomb’s Inner Underground Palace, excavating a pool wrapped in Millennium Corpse Water. One careless move could drop him into an irreparable place. He reminded himself repeatedly to be extra careful and not to allow for any negligence. He continuously kept the Heavenly Dao Engine activated, incessantly using its sensing function to scan his surroundings, ensuring his safety. At the very least, he had to make sure not to damage the pool’s wall wrapped in Millennium Corp Water.

This wall had two characteristics. The first was its sturdiness; unless one used Nascent Soul Stage artifacts or flying swords, Qi Tian would be powerless to damage it. The other was its ability to block the detection function of the Heavenly Dao Engine.

With these two characteristics as a foundation, Qi Tian could ensure that he would not accidentally damage the wall wrapped in Millennium Corpse Water, and at the same time, he could remove the unnecessary parts to the greatest extent possible, thus reducing the pool’s volume and weight and laying the groundwork for later dragging it into the Heavenly Dao Engine’s storage room.
