Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

The Grand Elder's maniacal laughter sounded particularly ferocious against the backdrop of the blood-red array patterns.

The evil energy from the heavens surged forth like a burst dam, pouring wildly through the cracks in the ground, causing the walls of the entire black tower to begin to peel violently away.

Gu Qinghan held his sword horizontally in front of Jiang Yining, his pure Yang sword intent transforming into a protective shield.

"Ning'er, protect the child. I will forcefully break the formation." Gu Qinghan's voice was deep, and his fingers gripping the sword turned white from excessive force.

"Need not."

A youthful yet remarkably calm voice came from behind Jiang Yining.

Si Bao crawled out of Situ Kong's arms. He casually stuffed the golden abacus in his hand into his pocket, and his silver eyes had now turned into a pure, bright silver.

The Heavenly Secrets Body, with the Heavenly Eye fully open.

Sibao walked to the edge of the light barrier with his short legs, looked up, and stared intently at the Grand Elder who was laughing wildly in mid-air.

A phantom compass of fate rapidly unfolded beneath his feet, its golden pointer spinning wildly, instantly locking onto a hidden causal line within the countless crimson array patterns.

"Found it."

Sibao stretched out his chubby little finger and pointed precisely to an inconspicuous blue stone slab three zhang directly below the Grand Elder's feet.

"The core of the self-destructing formation is right there."

The elder's laughter stopped abruptly. He looked down at his feet, his eyes flashing with extreme terror.

"Impossible! How could you possibly see through the Fate Bureau's protective death formation at a glance!"

Sibao ignored him completely, turned to Dabao, and spoke crisply and decisively.

"Big brother, strike that spot with maximum firepower lightning."

"it is good."

Da Bao didn't waste a single word. He gripped the Tranquility Heavy Sword with both hands, and his Perfect-grade Nine Heavens Thunder Body erupted. Purple-gold lightning was compressed wildly on the sword, transforming into a lightning pillar as thick as a bucket.

"break!"

The lightning bolt tore through the void and struck the blue stone slab that Si Bao had pointed out with perfect accuracy.

Boom!

The stone slab shattered instantly. The originally violent crimson array patterns suddenly froze, like a venomous snake whose vital point had been seized.

"Third Sister, suck!" Si Bao immediately gave the order.

"Leave it to me!"

Sanbao stood with her hands on her hips, the red lotus mark between her brows radiating bright red light. She opened her small mouth, and her pure black chaotic demonic body transformed into a terrifying vortex of devouring energy.

The explosive energy and celestial evil energy that had nowhere to go due to the shattering of the array core were swallowed up by the three treasures like noodles.

"Burp—" Sanbao patted his round little belly and let out a burp. "It tastes a bit sour, not as good as Uncle Qinghan's pills."

The Grand Elder hung in mid-air, watching helplessly as his proud self-destruction array was completely destroyed by three four-and-a-half-year-old children in three breaths.

"puff!"

The backlash from the formation instantly reversed. The Grand Elder coughed up a mouthful of black blood and fell from mid-air like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the broken floor tiles of the Black Tower. The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

He struggled to get up, only to find that his cultivation at the Heavenly Monarch Realm had been completely locked by the backlash.

"Don't kill me... spare my life... I know all the secrets of the Book of Fate..." The Grand Elder disregarded his image and frantically kowtowed on the ground, begging for mercy.

Gu Qinghan snorted coldly, about to finish him off with a single sword strike.

"Uncle Jian, wait a minute."

Sibao, with his short legs, slowly walked up to the Grand Elder.

He pulled the thick little ledger out of his pocket, moistened it with saliva, and turned to the latest page. Then, he placed the golden abacus on the ground and began to manipulate it with his little hands, making a clattering sound.

"I locked up my dad and me for four hundred days." Si Bao's chubby little face was expressionless, and his voice, though childish, was icy cold.

"The accommodation fee for these four hundred days is 100,000 spirit crystals per day."

"Food expenses, even though you didn't give me any food, I'll still be charged 200,000 yuan a day for the mental anguish of going hungry."

"Plus the blood my father vomited, the money for medicine, and the compensation you owe for scaring my mother earlier..."

Si Bao put away the abacus and shoved the account book in front of the old elder's face.

"A total of one hundred million top-grade spirit crystals."

Sibao took out a spirit ink brush from his pocket and handed it over.

"Sign and put your fingerprint on it. If you're short even a penny, I'll have my older brother chop you into eight pieces and feed you to the dogs."

The elder stared wide-eyed at the ridiculously long string of zeros in the ledger, and nearly died on the spot from a sudden loss of breath.

"One...one hundred million top-grade spirit crystals?! You might as well just kill me!"

"Killing you would be a waste." Si Bao sneered, his mercenary demeanor exactly like Situ Kong's. "The Fate Register Office controls the secrets of heaven; how could their treasury not even have a hundred million? Sign it now!"

The elder's hands trembled as Da Bao pressed the tip of his sword against his neck, humiliatingly pressing his bloody handprint onto the ledger.

Situ Kong leaned against the wall, watching this scene, a look of extreme pride appearing on his pale face.

He weakly moved closer to Jiang Yining, lowered his voice, and spoke with a tone full of boastfulness.

"Ning'er, look at her talent for business, her ruthlessness in calculating accounts... she definitely inherited it from me."

Jiang Yining glanced at him, but before she could speak, Sanbao had already poked his head out from the side.

"No way!" Sanbao retorted loudly, hands on his hips. "Fourth Brother is so smart, he clearly takes after Mother! Uncle Situ can't even calculate his own destiny, that's why he's locked up here like a blind man!"

Situ Kong's smile froze on his face instantly.

Feng Liuyun leaned on Jiang Yining's other shoulder and let out a sneer without any mercy.

"Did you hear that, you blind man? Even a child knows you're a good-for-nothing."

"Feng Liuyun, you smug bird, don't be so smug..." Situ Kong retorted through gritted teeth, but coughed up blood twice more because it aggravated his wound.

"Alright," Jiang Yining coldly interrupted the group of men's jealousy and rivalry.

She raised her hand and waved, a flash of purple-gold light appeared, and Mo Xie emerged from the void, pushing a wheelchair.

"Mistress," Mo Xie bowed respectfully.

"Take some men and empty the treasury of the Book of Fate." Jiang Yining's tone was calm, yet it exuded an undeniable domineering aura. "Don't leave me a single spirit brick."

"Yes." Moye accepted the order.

Si Bao's eyes lit up instantly. He stuffed the account book back into his pocket, ran to Mo Xie's side with his short legs, and grabbed the wheelchair wheel.

"Mother! Leave the task of inventorying the treasure vault to me!"

Sibao turned around, faced the crowd, waved her little hand, and delivered her inaugural declaration in a childish yet powerful voice.

"From this moment forward, all valuable items in the Register of Fate must be personally inspected by me!"

"Not a single speck of dust can be missed!"

Looking at Si Bao's greedy expression, Jiang Yining finally managed a faint smile.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Gu Qinghan stood to the side, watching the smile on Jiang Yining's face, and his fingers holding the sword loosened slightly.

"Ning'er." Gu Qinghan stepped forward, his voice low, "The Book of Fate has been broken. Next, shall we go to Qingqiu Guyue to find the Five Treasures?"
