The numerous Taiyin cyclones currently filling Xiao Shi's body have made the Taiyin energy in his body reach an extremely full level.
"It's a pity that these ninety-nine Taiyin cyclones have not all reached their limit, otherwise..."
When Xiao Shi thought about the situation when the ninety-nine Taiyin cyclones in his body all reached their limit, his heart couldn't help but feel hot and expectant.
Although he had broken through the ninety-ninth air lock at this time.
But there was still a ball of Taiyin energy in his hand.
Xiao Shi immediately had the idea of trying to open the last air lock.
He naturally knew that this Taiyin Qi alone would not be enough to open the last air lock.
He mainly wanted to see...
What will it be like when the final airlock opens
Although he had anticipated that opening the last air lock would be difficult, Xiao Shi really wanted to know how difficult it was.
Think of this.
He immediately used the ball of Taiyin Qi in his hand to attack the last air lock.
When this ball of Taiyin energy hits the air lock.
There wasn't even a trace of vibration in the entire air lock.
Then the entire group of Taiyin energy collapsed in the impact.
Xiao Shi frowned.
I wanted to test the waters with this ball of Taiyin energy.
But I found that there was no effect at all!
Opening the last air lock was much more difficult than he had imagined.
Shaked his head.
Xiao Shi simply decided not to think about opening the last air lock for the time being.
Now after reaching the late stage of Qiwu realm.
His overall strength has been greatly enhanced.
"Now I am..."
"Should it be enough to kill a Qi Wu realm master?"
There was a gleam in Xiao Shi's eyes.
But he also knew.
There are also differences in strength between those who have reached the Great Perfection of the Qiwu Realm.
The Great Perfection of Qiwu Realm that has opened up a hundred cyclones is only the weakest type of Great Perfection of Qiwu Realm.
After all, achieving perfection in the Qiwu realm requires more than just opening up all the cyclones.
At the same time, all the cyclones in the body must be combined and condensed!
It can be said that this is the most important step to achieve perfection in the Qiwu realm.
He completed the great perfection of Qiwu realm after the condensation of cyclone combination.
In terms of strength, it will be far stronger than the Qiwu realm master who has opened up one hundred cyclones.
Even according to different exercises.
Different combinations will result in differences in strength.
Until now, Xiao Shi has never fought with a person who has completed the cyclone combination and has reached the great perfection of the Qiwu realm.
Therefore, for this kind of strength of Qiwu realm great perfection.
Don't know.
But he is cautious by nature.
I was thinking about what would happen if I encountered this kind of Qiwu realm master later.
Still have to be careful.
Don't underestimate them.
Otherwise, the car is likely to overturn.
However, Xiao Shi thought that even if he was defeated by the Qiwu Realm master who had completed the cyclone combination, it would be unrealistic for the other party to kill him.
soon.
As the sequence scramble approaches.
As there was no response from Xiao Shi for a long time, Cheng Tianhao became a little anxious.
He has now successfully found the other three gauntlets.
Only Xiao Shi is left.
"no!"
"I'll have to go ask him again."
For Cheng Tianhao.
Xiao Shi is an indispensable part here.
It is crucial.
He was not worried that other competitors would poach Xiao Shi.
He didn't believe that anyone else could offer better conditions than he did.
He was afraid that Xiao Shi would not be interested...
To this.
He came again and found Xiao Shi.
Send an invitation.
"If Brother Nie feels that one shadow seed is not enough, I can continue to increase the amount!"
Cheng Tianhao said sincerely.
Xiao Shi looked at him deeply.
"I need to know why."
Cheng Tianhao knew what the reason was that Xiao Shi was talking about.
To this.
He didn't hide anything either.
He answered directly.
"The competition for sequences is a very secretive matter for many people, especially the specific circumstances of the competition, which most people don't know."
"To show my sincerity, I can tell Brother Nie all the information I know first."
Cheng Tianhao said seriously.
"I think Brother Nie should know that our entire Tree Shadow City is actually built on an ancient, time-honored, and mysterious tree."
"All the trees in Tree Shadow City are extensions of this ancient tree."
"As for the Tree Shadow Sequence, it must be recognized by this ancient tree, so the competition for the sequence will take place inside the ancient tree!"
"As long as you can obtain an ancient tree crystal inside the ancient tree, you can inherit... the tree shadow sequence!"
Xiao Shi said nothing when he heard this.
That still wasn't what he wanted to know.
Cheng Tianhao continued to say this.
"The main reason why I want Brother Nie to be my hand guard is because Brother Nie is at the top of the tree spirit killing list, and he has the aura of many tree spirits on him."
"In fact, there is a very subtle relationship between tree spirits and ancient trees."
"The tree spirit aura that Brother Nie has on him can play a very good role inside the ancient tree."
"Since this is my first time going inside an ancient tree, I am not very clear about the specific conditions inside the tree. I only know that people who are infected with the aura of many tree spirits will be of great help to me in my fight for the Tree Shadow Sequence."
"So, I hope Brother Nie can assist me and become my protector!"
Cheng Tianhao said sincerely.
"It is indeed the breath of the tree spirit..."
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
This was consistent with what he expected.
Although the Emperor's mask made him immune to the erosion of the tree spirit's aura, the tree spirit's aura still clung to him, but was blocked by the Emperor's mask.
Therefore, his current situation still meets Cheng Tianhao's needs.
However, no one knows what will happen to those who are contaminated by the tree spirit's aura inside the ancient tree.
There may be great danger in this.
Xiao Shi thought about it.
"You can let me be your guard, but I need you to give me the Shadow Seed first."
According to Cheng Tianhao's original promise.
He will give Xiao Shiying the seed afterwards.
But Xiao Shi felt that the situation inside the ancient tree was unclear, so he needed the other party to give him the shadow seed before he would take the risk.
Besides.
If Cheng Tianhao dies in there, wouldn’t all my work be in vain
"this… "
Regarding Xiao Shi’s request.
Cheng Tianhao was also a little hesitant.
After all, a shadow seed is not something he can take out casually.
But when he thought about the importance of Xiao Shi.
Finally, I gritted my teeth.
"OK!"
"But I can only give it to you when we enter the ancient tree."
He did it.
The main purpose was to prevent Xiao Shi from turning against his will after obtaining the shadow seed and refusing to enter the ancient tree with him.
Xiao Shi nodded in agreement.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement.
also.
Xiao Shi also made a request.
Before entering the ancient tree, he needed to know the information of other people who were qualified to compete for the Shadow Sequence, as well as the information of the gauntlets they each invited.
…
Two days later.
Xiao Shi, Cen Qingci and others gathered in a tea shop.
"How are you all doing lately?"
Cen Qingci looked at everyone with concern.
Ever since they started carrying out their mission in the Tree Shadow City, they had to separate and could not always stay together.
Now, we have to wait several days before we can see each other.
Although they were Cen Qingci's followers.
Cen Qingci should be the main focus.
But under the rules of Tree Shadow City...
They must first be able to gain a foothold in Shuying City before they can assist Cen Qingci.
Otherwise, the contribution value won’t even be enough to stay in Tree Shadow City.
Not only would that not help Cen Qingci, it would become a burden instead.
Wang Luo and Yang Zhen both looked exhausted, as if their bodies were hollowed out.
They have been tasked with transforming the energy in their bodies into the aura of spirit trees and have always been in a state of energy deficiency.
This made them look a little listless and as if they had lost weight.
Compared to the two of them.
Mimiyan and Fanli are slightly better.
Some relatively advanced tasks have already begun to be carried out.
No need to do this kind of "physical work".
But the most comfortable one was Cen Qingci.
As a proton...
She now enjoys some extra contribution value growth every day.
Even if you do nothing.
Her contribution value also maintains her living situation.
After all, she is a proton.
It is impossible for the Jiying Palace to watch her being expelled from the city because of her insufficient contribution.
anyway.
The Jiying Palace will keep her in Shuying City to ensure her safety.
However, Cen Qingci's followers did not receive such treatment.
Only by relying on your own efforts can you gain a foothold in this tree shadow city.
Xiao Shi didn't expect that everyone was in such a miserable state.
He thought about it.
I feel that after this Shadow Sequence is over, maybe I can help them through another identity.
After everyone talked for a few words.
Soon they had to separate again because of their respective missions.
For them.
Although this Tree Shadow City provides an opportunity to improve one's strength and cultivation, life here is also more tiring than before.
Xiao Shi also felt that everyone was like office workers now.
So I can live a more comfortable life.
It’s just difficult to help them because of the exposed hidden dangers.
However, judging from the current situation, the Jiying Palace should not pay too much attention to their followers.
As long as Cen Qingci's contribution value doesn't increase dramatically, there shouldn't be any problem.
After parting with everyone.
Xiao Shi returned to the tree house.
Cheng Tianhao has already sent over the information on other candidates who are competing for the qualification of the sequence, as well as the information on the gauntlets they have invited.
After Xiao Shi checked it carefully.
It was discovered that among the five sequence contenders this time, plus the twenty gauntlets, the weakest among them were in the late Qiwu realm.
And only six of them are in the late Qiwu realm.
The rest were all at the Great Perfection of Qiwu Realm.
certainly.
Among those who have reached the Great Perfection of Qiwu Realm, there are also obvious differences in strength.
But even Cheng Tianhao could not fully understand the background of these people.
I can only know a rough idea.
But it should be noted that…
The other four sequence contenders like Cheng Tianhao are not simple.
Need to be on guard.
…
Soon it was the day when the Shadow Sequence would be activated.
Early in the morning.
Xiao Shi will meet Cheng Tianhao.
In addition to Cheng Tianhao, there are three other gauntlets beside him.
These three people are all experts on various lists in Tree Shadow City.
All of them have reached the great perfection of Qiwu realm.
Standing beside Cheng Tianhao respectively.
Among the three, there is an old man and two young men.
After seeing Xiao Shi, they all looked at him intently.
Although the aura fluctuations emanating from Xiao Shi were only those of the late Qi Wu Realm, these three Qi Wu Realm Great Perfection masters did not look down on or underestimate him at all.
They all know...
The opponent is at the top of the tree spirit kill list.
However, it has been eroded by the aura of many tree spirits, which has weakened its strength to a certain extent.
The strength shown now is not its true strength.
At the same time, he also knew how much Cheng Tianhao valued Xiao Shi.
As a result, their attitude towards Xiao Shi also became much more polite.
After the meeting.
Cheng Tianhao brought four guards to an area in the Tree Shadow City.
This area is a restricted area in Tree Shadow City.
Under normal circumstances.
This area is not open to the public and has always been closed.
It will only be officially opened when the sequence is activated.
Now after entering this area.
Everyone saw...
This is a gray-black area.
The land in this area is formed by a tree root that is so thick that it is hard to describe. You can clearly see the fine lines on the root.
"Is this the mysterious ancient tree..."
There was also shock in Xiao Shi's eyes.
It feels like standing on a prehistoric beast.
For this mysterious ancient tree...
Although he doesn't know much.
But we also understand that this mysterious ancient tree is extremely extraordinary.
The aura of many spiritual trees in Tree Shadow City actually comes from this mysterious ancient tree.
at the same time.
In front of Xiao Shi and the others.
There were two other groups of people standing there.
One of the groups was led by the young girl Lin Ying who came to win over Xiao Shi at that time.
The other group was led by a young man with a cold temperament and a serious demeanor.
Through the information provided by Cheng Tianhao before, Xiao Shi knew that the young man in front of him, named Qin Long, was one of the five people who were qualified to compete for the Swift Shadow Sequence.
With the arrival of Xiao Shi and others.
The eyes of these two groups of people were also focused on them.
Among them, Xiao Shi even felt that several gazes were directed towards him.
Not long.
The remaining two groups of people also arrived one after another.
They are two teams led by the tall and burly Meng Que.
And the team was led by a young man with messy hair and sleepy eyes, as if he had just woken up.
After everyone arrived.
Although there is strong vigilance and hostility between them.
But no one spoke here.
It seems that there is some kind of taboo here.
They didn't dare to speak easily.
They just took out an object, held it in their hands, put their palms together, and worshiped reverently towards the huge tree roots beneath them.
With their worship.
Suddenly, a huge crack appeared on the ground. A strong breath emanated from the crack, with bursts of coldness. Looking down, the light in the crack was dazzling, as if it was a big mouth waiting to devour flesh and blood, which made people's hearts tremble.
But if you look closely, you can find that the light in the crack is somewhat different.
It seems that in these lights, there exists one world after another.
Once you touch it, you will be pulled into the world inside.
