"What is it? Tell me about it," Mingzhi Tian asked.
Qiong Yao's eyes darted around. "I haven't thought of anything yet, but I'll tell you when I do."
Mingzhi Tian cast a disdainful glance at her. "Very well, as long as it's within my capabilities, I won't refuse."
Qiong Yao nodded ecstatically. "Yes, yes, yes... Excellent. Here's ten billion. Take it."
Mingzhi Tian took the black card and handed it to Old Bai. Old Bai quickly inspected it, adopting the demeanor of a shrewd merchant. "Congratulations, sir. Once the goods are traded, returns and exchanges are not accepted."
Mingzhi Tian took the ancient box and gently caressed it. Old Bai smiled slyly. "I forgot to tell you, this is sealed by an ancient mystical formation. It requires a super formation master proficient in divine formations to unlock it. Of course, there is no known method to break it yet."
The surrounding immortals and gods chuckled, looking at Mingzhi Tian as if he were an idiot. "Won't he lose a fortune?"
Qiong Yao also looked at Mingzhi Tian with confusion. However, Mingzhi Tian smiled slightly and turned to leave.
Rimusi Xi Shen seemed to sense something. "Old Bai, send someone to keep an eye on him."
Old Bai looked up. "Xi Shen, he's just a young fool. Why..."
Rimusi Xi Shen glared at him. "Are you questioning this god?"
Old Bai choked for a moment, his face flushing with shame. "Yes! This old god will dispatch someone to watch him immediately."
...
Mingzhi Tian walked out of the Black Gloom Cave. Qiong Yao had borrowed his ten billion, unaware that it was her life's savings.
Seeing her follow, Mingzhi Tian turned around. "Have you thought of what you want me to do?"
Qiong Yao was slightly startled, her fair face blushing. "Not yet... You're not going to run away, are you?"
Mingzhi Tian smiled confidently. "My word as Qiong Chi is absolute, the heavens themselves obey. As I said, as long as it's within my capabilities."
Qiong Yao suddenly became curious. "Why are you so interested in this box?"
Mingzhi Tian said, "Naturally, it has its value."
Qiong Yao didn't understand but still followed. Mingzhi Tian looked confused. "Why are you following me? Are you afraid I won't return your money?"
Qiong Yao shook her head and smiled. "No. Where are you going?"
Mingzhi Tian looked around, confirming no one was present. "To a place where there's no one."
Qiong Yao immediately had fanciful thoughts. "So soon? Can I come?"
Mingzhi Tian cast a disdainful glance at her. "So soon what? I have things to do. Don't follow me."
Qiong Yao sidled up to him, hands on her hips. "Is this how you talk to your creditor? I'm going to follow you, and you're not allowed to shake me off. Otherwise, I'll charge you interest, one million per minute, how about that?"
Mingzhi Tian was dumbfounded. "You're truly audacious. Fine, do as you please, but don't disturb me."
"Okay." Being able to be alone with Mingzhi Tian, Qiong Yao burst into laughter, overjoyed.
Mingzhi Tian's pupils widened. The two entered the Gate of Time and Space...
Taking out the ancient box he had acquired for one hundred billion mystic crystal stones, Mingzhi Tian placed his hand lightly on its surface. Instantly, complex and chaotic ancient mystical formations appeared before his eyes!
A colossal purple mystical formation materialized in the dome, descending upon the frail Mingzhi Tian with an overwhelming pressure, as if the entire heavens were falling.
Mingzhi Tian raised his hand and shouted! "Begone!"
The oppressive force of the formation was immediately dispelled. If Mingzhi Tian hadn't possessed the Angelic Sacred Soul Eyes, his divine consciousness and soul would have been manipulated, turning him into a divine puppet.
Drawing upon the three hundred thousand years of experience he gained from the Three Demonic Monsters, he found the method to break the divine formation!
First, he had to become a formation master. He sat down cross-legged, with Qiong Yao watching curiously nearby, but not daring to disturb him.
Using the Divine Illusion Realm as his base, Mingzhi Tian immediately began to study billions of formations, progressing from beginner to intermediate, then to advanced, Earth-level, Heaven-level, and finally, God-level!
