Chapter 413: Chapter 0297: Don’t Harboring Intentions on This Skeleton_2 Chapter 413: Chapter 0297: Don’t Harboring Intentions on This Skeleton_2 Qi Tian collected the corpses of several royal members. Afterward, he picked up a mining shovel and began to work as a miner. He believed that these royal members did not excavate here randomly, there must be a great secret. He wished to see what that secret was.

Only, time was extremely tight. Qi Tian didn’t dare to delay too long, he only gave himself an hour. If he didn’t find anything after an hour, then he must leave this place.

To save time, Qi Tian held nothing back, grabbing his mining shovel and starting to dig. He didn’t even know which direction to dig towards, he only followed the path that Huang Zhiwei and his group dug, and his mining speed is very fast. In less than an hour, Qi Tian had gone forward over 3000 meters, a truly astonishing speed.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Engine suddenly trembled. This trembling felt somewhat familiar to Qi Tian, but it also held five degrees of unfamiliarity. The familiarity came from his experience outside the Tongmen West Pass, where he allowed the Heavenly Dao Engine to engulf stone bullets, but at that time, the shaking frequency definitely fell short of this time, making Qi Tian feel like the Heavenly Dao Engine was almost unable to hold up.

Once something like this appeared, they would be precious treasures that greatly benefited the Heavenly Dao Engine. Qi Tian went through thousands of hardships to get to Yi Lian Mountain, and his goal was to look for these treasures. Now that such a treasure has appeared, how could Qi Tian miss it?

Qi Tian hastily spun his mining shovel and started to dig. In this way, he continued to mine for more than half an hour, making the time he initially set for himself far past due. As the mining shovel continued to dig downward, he felt an emptiness beneath him, as though something had been dug through.

Qi Tian was able to ignore everything else and quickly dug away the rocks beneath his feet. Very soon, a dark hole appeared beneath his feet and a chilly wind blew out from the hole with a whooshing sound.

Qi Tian lit a torch and threw it in. The torch fell downwards, and it took a long time before it hit the ground. From the top looking down, the torch was the size of a matchstick, which indicated how high the place was from the ground.

Qi Tian widened the hole under his feet, then stepped on his flying sword and drilled into the hole. His foot stepped on the flying sword and as he just entered this huge underground palace, he suddenly felt a chill enveloping him as something dashed towards him.

It was invisible to the naked eye, but the Heavenly Dao Engine clearly bounced back how powerful the entity rushing towards him was. It was even mightier than the barefoot male cultivator.

Qi Tian was shocked and almost subconsciously released the Transporting Whirlwind. Several Transporting Whirlwinds quickly twined the thing rushing towards him, and something was struggling.

It was a ghost or some creature of that sort and it was extremely powerful, something Qi Tian couldn’t handle at the moment. In a flash of thought, Qi Tian flicked his wrist and a flag appeared in his hand. He waved the flag at that thing and black smoke rolled out from the flag, heading toward the thing trapped by the Transporting Whirlwind.

Initially, that thing was always struggling, but upon seeing the black mist approaching, it ceased its resistance. Instead, it seemed rather eager to meet it.

Qi Tian commanded the Transporting Whirlwind to release the object. Opening its enormous mouth, it began to absorb the black fog, gradually inching closer to the banner in Qi Tian’s hand as it did so.

This banner was specifically designed to capture spirits and ghostlike beings. He had obtained it during his time at the Tongmen West Pass, but it was not of high quality. Qi Tian was unsure if he could successfully use it to control this powerful soul.

The soul reached the banner and paused, seeming to assess the banner. Using the Heavenly Dao Engine, Qi Tian observed it closely, waiting to see if it would enter the banner. If it did, then it would naturally be the best outcome.

In the next instant, something that thrilled Qi Tian occurred—the entity transformed into a billow of black fog and flew towards the banner. Within the blink of an eye, it was inside the banner.

Overjoyed, Qi Tian felt this banner could become another trump card for his future. However, his elation was short-lived. Within two minutes, he felt the banner was on the verge of collapse. The entity inside the banner was anything but cooperative. Instead of recognizing the banner’s authority, the entity was Le consuming the soul beasts within it and beginning to damage the interior of the banner. In a short while, the banner was unable to withstand it.

With a cold huff, a black hole opened in the palm of Qi Tian. He instantaneously sent the banner, along with the powerful specter inside it, into the black hole. Recognizing the danger, the ghost rushed out of the banner, attempting to escape, but there was no way the Heavenly Dao Engine would let it go. A powerful force was emanating from the black hole, pulling everything inside. Despite furious roaring, the ghost was powerless. A minute later, it gave up resisting and was completely dragged into the black hole.

Qi Tian was aware of the benefits of subduing a specter as potent as this, but he also knew the severe consequences if unsuccessful. Despite reluctance, Qi Tian made a decisive choice and allowed the Heavenly Dao Engine to consume the specter rather than hold temporarily in its storage chamber.

After swallowing the ghost, the Heavenly Dao Engine immediately started shaking. The new blades on the turbine leaf started to grow, and the engine itself grew slightly bigger—establishing a more stable foothold within Qi Tian’s Qi Sea.

This result naturally delighted Qi Tian, and using the Heavenly Dao Engine, he sensed his surroundings but couldn’t find any ghosts like the one he had just encountered. However, the fluctuations that had prompted the Heavenly Dao Engine’s urge to devour were still present. Qi Tian ignited another torch and rode his flying sword towards the area with the most robust response from his Heavenly Dao Engine.

Soon, Qi Tian arrived overhead the location he was aiming for. While flying in a circle above with his flying sword, he gawked in surprise. He spotted two massive skeletons on the ground relatively close to one another. One seemed like a tiger, spanning over 30 feet, while the other appeared to be a python with a length exceeding 50 feet.

Both skeletons had evident signs of injury, suggesting that these two mighty beings had fought fiercely and in the end perished together at this location.

Qi Tian promptly used the Transporting Whirlwind to collect all the skeletons. In order not to mix the two types of bones, he first collected the python’s skeleton. As to how the Heavenly Dao Engine planned to deal with this skeleton, Qi Tian did not interfere. He wouldn’t mind even if the Heavenly Dao Engine decided to devour it all for its growth. After the python’s skeleton was collected, he began to gather what seemed like a tiger’s skeleton. Qi Tian explicitly told the Heavenly Dao Engine not to touch this skeleton. To this day, there was still powerful spirit force fluctuation on it. He could only imagine how powerful the Tiger Demon must have been when alive. If he used its skeleton to cultivate the Tiger Roar Pill and used this pill to cultivate himself, Qi Tian believed his physical body would improve significantly.

After all the skeletons were stored away, Qi Tian noticed that the places they had fallen also caused a desire in the Heavenly Dao Engine to absorb. This reaction was not unlike the time when the Heavenly Dao Engine discovered the stone bullets. Apparently, those stone bullets must have come in contact with the skeletons or similar bones before being mined, polished into bullets, and finally, ended up in Qi Tian’s hands.
