Chapter 151 Late-stage Qi Martial Realm! (2)
According to the information he had obtained, the Shadow Comprehension Talisman was an extremely expensive item in the entire Swift Shadow Palace. Its function was mainly to comprehend the Shadow Seed through the Shadow Comprehension Talisman.
The Shadow Seed was the core of the Swift Shadow Palace and the foundation of their strength.
For example, the core of the Red Tiger Sect was the Red Tiger at every stage. And the core of the Swift Shadow Palace was the Shadow Seed. It could be said that the disciples of the Swift Shadow Palace had cultivated from the beginning to form Shadow Seeds.
Everything was all built on the foundation of forming Shadow Seeds. Only when the Shadow Seed was formed could they obtain the greatest improvement and qualitative change. The Shadow Seed was the greatest value of the Swift Shadow Palace.
This was also an important reason why countless people in the Tiandou Province wanted to join the Swift Shadow Palace. Many people joined the Swift Shadow Palace to form a Shadow Seed.
The formation of Shadow Seeds was mainly divided into two situations. One was to cultivate the designated cultivation technique of the Swift Shadow Palace. Just like how the disciples of the Red Tiger Sect all cultivated the Red Tiger Technique, the Swift Shadow Palace also had a similar designated cultivation technique.
However, disciples who cultivated such a designated cultivation technique usually joined the Swift Shadow Palace when they were at the Martial Entry-Level.
People like Xiao Shi and the others, who had just entered the Swift Shadow Palace at the Qi Martial Realm, could no longer change their cultivation techniques.
However, even if he did not cultivate the designated cultivation technique of the Swift Shadow Palace, there was also a chance to form a Shadow Seed. But in terms of difficulty, it was even more difficult than cultivating the designated cultivation technique of the Swift Shadow Palace.
If some disciples with stronger comprehension had the Shadow Comprehension Talisman, they could comprehend the Shadow Seed through it. Even if his comprehension was insufficient and he could not comprehend it, he could speed up the formation of the Shadow Seed to a certain extent.
This was also the value of the Shadow Comprehension Talisman.
However, there were not many Shadow Comprehension Talismans in the entire Swift Shadow Palace. Ordinary disciples often did not have many ways to obtain the Shadow Comprehension Talisman.
Only disciples like Cheng Tianhao who were qualified to compete for the Echelon Competition could obtain the shockingly valuable Shadow Comprehension Talisman.
This was also the main reason why everyone was shocked when Lin Ying expressed her willingness to take out a Shadow Comprehension Talisman.
The value of just one Shadow Comprehension Talisman was already so shocking.
This time, Cheng Tianhao directly gave a Shadow Seed!!
This made Xiao Shi feel even more abnormal.
“No matter how much they fight for it, they shouldn’t take out such a precious thing. Unless, this Tree Spirit Killing List has a different meaning!”
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. Although he had killed many tree spirits in the past half a month, if it were any other late-stage Qi Martial Realm cultivator who had activated more Qi vortexes or a perfected Qi Martial Realm cultivator, they would also be able to achieve such results.
This was also what Xiao Shi found strange.
In his opinion, it was not difficult to become the first on the Tree Spirit Killing List. Many people could do it. But now, these three disciples who were qualified to compete for the Echelon Competition were all “in love” with him, the first on the Tree Spirit Killing List. In order to fight for him, they all offered irresistible conditions.
There must be something wrong!
As Xiao Shi continued to investigate, he finally found a part of the reason. It turned out that although killing the tree spirit was a way to quickly earn contribution points, there were also drawbacks.
Every time he killed a tree spirit, he would often be corroded by a trace of the tree spirit’s aura. The corrosion of this aura was unavoidable. As long as he killed it, he would definitely be corroded.
If it was only the corrosion of one or two tree spirits, it would not be a big deal. However, once he killed too many tree spirits, as the accumulated aura corrosion increased, his strength and cultivation would be weakened by the corrosion of these auras.
Of course, this aura corrosion was not permanent. It would gradually dissipate over time. However, it would take at least two to three months before it completely dissipated.
Therefore, most people would not kill too many tree spirits even if they accepted the mission to kill the tree spirit.
For someone like Xiao Shi, who had been killing for half a month was really rare.
After Xiao Shi understood this, he understood why he had become the first on the Tree Spirit Killing List so easily. No wonder he had not seen anyone kill the tree spirits on the fourth level for half a month.
Usually, the stronger the tree spirit, the more serious the corrosion of the aura after killing it. Very few people would kill the tree spirits of the fourth level.
However, there were other doubts in his heart. From the beginning to the end, he did not even feel the corrosion of the aura. His strength and cultivation did not show any signs of weakening.
“Could it be because of the Martial Emperor Mask?” Xiao Shi was deep in thought.
He felt that it was very likely so. After all, the Martial Emperor Mask was immune to all auras. Therefore, this aura corrosion had no effect on him.
But in the eyes of others, it was already very terrifying that he could still continuously kill these tree spirits under the corrosion of the aura.
However, just this point alone was still not enough for them to take out such a precious thing to fight over him.
Among them, there must be a deeper reason!
However, no matter how Xiao Shi probed, it was difficult for him to find any useful information.
“Perhaps the Tree Spirit Killing List is related to the method of competition.” Xiao Shi guessed silently.
After understanding all of this, he was also interested in the competition for the Echelon. If he could obtain a Shadow Seed because of this, it didn’t seem too bad!
Most importantly, this was a chance to kill a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator!
According to the information Xiao Shi had obtained, Echelon battles were often filled with blood and killing. In the past, less than half of the people could survive the Echelon battles. These people who had the qualifications to compete for the Echelon, as well as the hand guards they had invited, were basically at the late-stage Qi Martial realm and Major Perfection realm.
This was undoubtedly good prey!
Now, as Xiao Shi’s cultivation was about to reach the late-stage Qi Martial realm, he thought that he could almost try to kill a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator. After all, he could only kill a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator to drop high-quality items.
However, there were not many at the Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm to begin with.
For example, there was no Tree Spirit at the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm. The strongest tree spirit was only a tree spirit comparable to the late-stage Qi Martial realm in level four. Therefore, it was not easy for Xiao Shi to find and kill a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator here.
This Echelon Competition was clearly a good opportunity.
At the same time, as a hand guard, if he could help the person he supported become an Echelon, he would be able to stand more firmly in the Swift Shadow Palace.
Considering all aspects,
Xiao Shi felt that he could participate in the Echelon Competition this time as a hand guard. However, he was not in a hurry to find Cheng Tianhao and agree to it. There were still ten days before the Echelon Competition began.
He continued to head to the tree spirit area. As usual, he killed the tree spirits here. As he killed the tree spirit, he also sensed the corrosion of the aura formed after the tree spirit died. The corrosion of this aura was silent and extremely difficult to detect.
However, under Xiao Shi’s serious inspection, he still sensed this weak aura corrosion. Just as the aura corroded his body, there seemed to be an invisible barrier around his body, preventing the aura from entering his body and blocking it.
“It’s indeed the Martial Emperor Mask.” Xiao Shi was enlightened.
After killing many tree spirits and obtaining a lot of contribution points and items dropped after the tree spirit died, he then returned to the treehouse to activate and expand his Qi vortex.
Two days later, there was a dull explosion.
Xiao Shi’s body was trembling violently. The 99th Qi Lock in his body exploded under the impact of the many Lunar Qi. He had successfully activated the 99th Lunar Qi Vortex. He had officially stepped into the late-stage Qi Martial realm from the mid-stage Qi Martial realm.
At the same time, the Qi Lock in his body left one. As long as he broke through the last Qi Lock, he would be able to break through to the late-stage Qi Martial realm and enter the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm.
