The sun is shining brightly high in the sky.
A huge flying boat cut through the clouds and moved rapidly in the sky.
Xiao Shi stood on the deck of the flying boat, looking into the distance, thinking about the next course of action.
According to Xiang Zizhen.
The action to rescue the followers of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect still needs to wait for a suitable opportunity.
The exact time is unknown.
But it should be in the near future.
therefore.
Xiao Shi decided to return to Tiandou Province first and settle the Chihu Sect.
With Xiang Zizheng giving him the green light, Xiao Shi no longer has to stay in the prison city all the time and is relatively free.
"It's not difficult to evacuate with the Red Tiger Sect. Xiang Zizhen will make all the arrangements..."
Xiao Shi knew.
Not only does he have the Red Tiger clan behind him.
Behind the rest of the followers, there are also people from the other three lineages.
Regardless of the success or failure of their actions this time, they will all move together from Xingluo State to the Imperial Territory.
"Before the action begins, I need to improve my strength to the maximum extent..."
"At least there must be a means to deal with this action."
Although this operation, in addition to these believers who usually meet in the dream world, there will be other powerful people participating.
But the rescue will be carried out by them.
If your own strength is not enough...
You might get yourself involved.
After all, the place where these Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect members are imprisoned must be a dangerous place.
"If I can raise my cultivation to the Soul Stage before taking action, my pressure will be much less..."
"But this way, I won't have time to study the soul."
Xiao Shi shook his head.
If he were to attempt to reach the life soul stage now, he could only form an ordinary life soul.
Rather than what he had thought before, a life soul that could bring some connections and help to the future martial soul realm.
This makes it difficult for him to make a breakthrough in his realm of cultivation in the short term.
You have to slow down at the soul consciousness stage.
"It seems that I can only improve my strength while keeping my own realm unchanged..."
Xiao Shi thought in his heart.
For ordinary people.
Since they are unable to improve their own realm, the enhancement they can obtain will inevitably be very limited.
But for Xiao Shi.
He has many areas where he can be improved.
First of all, its physical body!
As a body cultivator, Xiao Shi never slacked off in the cultivation of his physical body.
However, when his physical body reached the Martial Soul Realm, in order to improve the Martial Soul Realm, he needed to continuously deepen the mystery of his bloodline through battles.
Before that.
He only possesses the first level of bloodline mystery.
However, the earlier battle in the virtual world had allowed him to vaguely touch the second level of the mystery of bloodline.
Once he has mastered the second level of bloodline mystery, his physical strength will be equivalent to reaching the second stage of the Martial Soul Realm.
Xiao Shi felt that if he could fight a lot and comprehend the mysteries of the triple bloodline before taking action.
One's physical strength can reach a level comparable to that of the soul stage.
In addition to the physical body being able to be enhanced.
Xiao Shi can also consider enhancing it through items.
If he could obtain one or two powerful items before taking action, these items would become an important help in improving his strength.
Although Xiao Shi cannot guarantee that items of great use will be dropped,
But he can use these items to exchange for powerful treasures in the Tower of Ten Thousand Treasures!
"Also... I am in the illusory world, with the Flame Moon made of Yin Flame!"
"If I can combine Yan Yue with my soul consciousness, perhaps I can bring my soul consciousness to a higher level!"
"In terms of weapon techniques, we can also further improve and strengthen them!"
After some summary.
Xiao Shi identified the next few directions for improvement.
The first is the physical body. It would be best if one could comprehend the mysteries of the triple bloodline, so as to reach a level comparable to the life soul stage.
The second is items, which depends on whether there are suitable targets and opportunities to kill later.
The third is the combination of Yanyue and soul consciousness.
The fourth is the weapon method. Although Xiao Shi has already comprehended the sword method of the Wuhun Realm, he has not yet integrated the sword method of the Wuhun Realm with the previous three weapon methods. Only when these four weapon methods are successfully integrated can the most powerful power be unleashed.
The fifth is the formation. With Xiao Shi's talent in formation, if he studies it in depth, he might be able to set up some formations to provide assistance.
Sixth, before taking action, it is best to use the Eternal Alchemy Furnace to refine powerful pills!
The seventh is the Cang'e ancient tree. If he could carry the Cang'e ancient tree with him, Xiao Shi felt that his safety would be basically guaranteed.
The reason why the Cang'e ancient tree was left in Tiandou Province was, on the one hand, to ensure the safety of the Chihu Sect, and on the other hand, it was difficult for Xiao Shi to take the Cang'e ancient tree away.
Now he is about to lead the Red Tiger Sect away.
Naturally, there is no need to leave the Cang'e ancient tree in Tiandou Province.
After Xiao Shi returns this time, he can study how to take away the Cang'e ancient tree.
that's all.
After several days of marching.
Xiao Shi successfully returned to Tiandou Province.
When he left last time, he thought it might take a long time before he would return to Tiandouzhou, but he never expected...
It hasn't been long.
He returned to Tiandou Province again.
But unlike before he left...
When he left, the abbot of Lei Miao Temple and the leader of Jihuo Sect in Tiandou Province were neither he nor able to fight against them.
But this time he returned to Tiandou Province.
No one in the entire Tiandou State will be able to pose a threat to him.
The day we returned to Tiandou Province.
Xiao Shi went straight to Shuying City.
Although the Jiying Palace is not the strongest force in Tiandou Province today, it still stands very firmly.
The entire Jiying Palace is still divided into the East Palace and the West Palace.
On weekdays, the two sides do not interfere with each other.
But once faced with danger, the two sides will immediately join forces to fight against foreign enemies.
After coming back.
Xiao Shi summoned Guo Chengdao immediately.
Guo Chengdao didn't expect Xiao Shi to come back so soon, and he was very happy about it.
However, Xiao Shi looked solemn.
I feel it is necessary to tell the other party about the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
After all, they will be taken to the imperial territory next.
It is necessary to let Guo Chengdao, the leader of the Red Tiger Sect, know about this matter first.
Immediately.
Xiao Shi then told Guo Chengdao about the matters concerning the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Guo Chengdao was greatly shocked by this.
He had been in the Red Tiger Sect for a longer time than Xiao Shi, but he never knew that the Red Tiger Sect had such a terrifying origin!
"This matter is of great importance and must not be disclosed before leaving Tiandou Province!"
Xiao Shi warned in a deep voice.
Guo Chengdao nodded.
Although this matter must be told to other members of the Red Tiger Sect, he knew that now was not the right time.
After all, if the news leaks out now...
The consequences are disastrous.
"Next, I will take you to Xingluo Province. You'd better think of a suitable reason to inform the disciples in the sect. This matter must be kept secret and it is best not to attract the attention of outsiders."
Xiao Shi warned solemnly.
"clear!"
Guo Chengdao looked serious, knowing that this matter was of great importance.
Fortunately, although the Red Tiger Sect controls the entire East Palace of the Jiying Palace, they are behind the scenes.
The two elders who rebelled against the Jiying Palace are still the ones in charge of the Jiying Palace.
At the same time, the Red Tiger Sect has been implementing the idea of low-key development, so that few people in Tiandou Province know about the existence of the Red Tiger Sect.
Now even if the Red Tiger Sect leaves Tiandou Province quietly.
It will not attract the attention of the various forces in Tiandou State.
After handing over the evacuation matter to Guo Chengdao to arrange.
Xiao Shi went straight into the interior of the Cang'e ancient tree.
He began to think about how to take the ancient Cang'e tree away.
To this.
He first awakened the remaining consciousness in the black coffin and asked if there was any way to take away the ancient Cang'e tree.
"If you want to take away the ancient Cang'e tree, you must provide it with a 'soil' that can provide nutrients."
"The reason why the Cang'e Ancient Tree cannot be taken away now is because it has always been in a bad state."
"If we take it away rashly, its condition may get worse. By then... the Cang'e Ancient Tree may even die."
"If there is enough nutrients to allow the ancient Cang'e tree to take root in it..."
"Then you can naturally take it away."
The incomplete mind in the black coffin said.
Xiao Shi suddenly realized.
Realize that the "soil" the other party refers to is not necessarily soil in the literal sense.
It more generally refers to something that can provide nutrients to the Cang'e ancient tree.
"If I plant the ancient Cang'e tree on your black coffin, can you provide it with sufficient nutrients?"
Xiao Shi asked on a whim.
“…Are you a devil?”
The incomplete mind in the black coffin said unhappily.
"My current condition is not much better than the ancient Cang'e tree. I also need nutrients to recover. If you plant it on my black coffin, I will be sucked dry by it. How can I recover?"
Xiao Shi thought about it and felt that it made sense.
"That is to say..."
"I need a treasure that can provide nutrients to the Cang'e Ancient Tree so that it can continuously absorb nutrients!"
He thought carefully about the many treasures he now had.
It seems that there is no treasure that can bear the absorption of the Cang'e ancient tree.
Given the size of the ancient Cang'e tree, it must require a lot of nutrients.
But not just any treasure can provide enough nutrients.
Even the only martial magic-level item that Xiao Shi has on him now may not be able to withstand the absorption of the Cang'e Ancient Tree.
“In fact, it doesn’t have to be a treasure. You can also root it in yourself.”
The fragmentary mind in the black coffin made a suggestion.
"Are you a devil?"
"Won't I be sucked dry in a matter of minutes?"
Xiao Shi felt that the other party's proposal was quite unreliable.
However, this reminded me that it seems that I can root the ancient Cang'e tree in the evil energy person!
I just don't know if the evil energy being, as a corpse, can provide sufficient nutrients to the Cang'e ancient tree
"not necessarily."
The incomplete consciousness in the black coffin denied the possibility that Xiao Shihui would be sucked dry by the Cang'e ancient tree.
"I can sense that your bloodline is very special, and perhaps it can carry the Cang'e Ancient Tree."
"Bloodline?"
Xiao Shi was stunned.
After fusing the Dongkui bloodline, the Chihu bloodline, and the Vajra bloodline, his bloodline ranking has reached second place, second only to the Wu Emperor bloodline which ranks first.
In terms of bloodline, my bloodline is indeed very powerful.
"you mean… "
"Can blood provide enough nutrients to the Cang'e Ancient Tree?"
Xiao Shi asked.
"good."
"Blood can not only provide nutrients to the Cang'e Ancient Tree, but it is also the best kind of nutrients. If the blood is used to nourish the Cang'e Ancient Tree, over time, it may even give the Cang'e Ancient Tree some new abilities and changes."
The incomplete mind in the black coffin said.
"How will it affect me?"
What Xiao Shi is most worried about now is that once the Cang'e ancient tree takes root in his body, he will be directly sucked dry by the Cang'e ancient tree.
Even if it wasn't sucked dry.
Once it leads to a decline in one's own strength, it will be a loss-making thing.
Before the rescue operation began.
He can only improve his strength and cannot let his strength decline.
"If your bloodline is strong enough, it won't have much of an impact."
"This is actually a good thing for you."
"Because once you root the Cang'e Ancient Tree in yourself, you can freely use the power of the Cang'e Ancient Tree."
"This will greatly enhance your strength."
Xiao Shi nodded.
The ancient Cang'e tree was indeed very attractive to him.
And in terms of bloodline.
His bloodline is second only to Emperor Wu's bloodline.
There is no need to worry about one’s own bloodline not being enough to support the Cang’e ancient tree.
Now that the ancient Cang'e tree has taken root in one's body, one can gain the greatest improvement.
Xiao Shi naturally had nothing to hesitate about.
However, before allowing the Cang'e ancient tree to take root in himself, Xiao Shi needed to first settle the entire Tree Shadow City.
After all, the current Tree Shadow City is located on the branches of the ancient Cang'e tree.
If he were to allow the ancient Cang'e tree to take root in himself at this moment, it would inevitably cause great damage to the Tree Shadow City.
Because they need to evacuate secretly next.
Therefore, Xiao Shi did not want to cause too much noise and attract the attention of other forces.
He decided to let the East Palace of Jiying Palace return to Wuying City.
Let Jiying Palace maintain its original integrity.
at the same time.
Xiao Shi summoned Cheng Tianhao that day.
He told Cheng Tianhao that they were planning to evacuate.
"Before I leave, I will give you the entire Jiying Palace."
Xiao Shi said.
This time he couldn't take Cheng Tianhao with him.
After all, only people from the Red Tiger lineage can go to the Imperial Domain.
Cheng Tianhao is not from the Red Tiger lineage.
Even if I could leave Tiandou Province with them, I would not be able to enter the Imperial Domain.
As your most capable subordinate.
Xiao Shi naturally would not treat Cheng Tianhao unfairly.
Prepare to let Cheng Tianhao take over the entire Jiying Palace.
The current Jiying Palace is actually under the control of Xiao Shi, so it is not difficult to support Cheng Tianhao to the position.
However, he still prefers to let Cheng Tianhao control the Jiying Palace behind the scenes.
Rather than appearing in the open.
In order to ensure to a greater extent that the Jiying Palace can survive safely in Tiandou State in the future.
Xiao Shi felt that he still needed to get rid of the abbot of Lei Miao Temple and the leader of Jihuo Sect.
Make sure that no one in Tiandou Province can threaten Jiying Palace.
After all, when I leave this time, I will take the Cang'e ancient tree with me, and I won't be able to leave any strong protection for Cheng Tianhao.
I can only clear everything for him before leaving.
