Chapter 152 Gathering (1)
Currently, the many Lunar Qi vortices that filled Xiao Shi’s body had allowed the Lunar Qi Force in his body to reach an extremely abundant level.
“It’s a pity that these 99 Lunar Qi vortexes haven’t reached their limits. Otherwise…”
When Xiao Shi thought of the situation when the 99 Lunar Qi vortexes in his body had all reached their limits, he could not help but feel hot and expectant.
Although he had already broken through the 99th Qi Lock, there was still a ball of Lunar Qi in his hand.
Xiao Shi immediately had the idea of trying to open the last Qi Lock. He naturally knew that it was definitely impossible to open the last Qi Lock with just this Lunar Qi. He mainly wanted to see what it takes to open the last Qi Lock.
Although he had long expected that it would be very difficult to open the last Qi Lock, Xiao Shi really wanted to know how difficult it was.
Thinking of this, he immediately charged towards the last Qi lock through the ball of Lunar Qi in his hand. When this ball of Lunar Qi hit the Qi Lock, the Qi Lock did not even tremble. Then, the ball of Lunar Qi had already collapsed from the collision.
Xiao Shi frowned. He originally wanted to use this ball of Lunar Qi to test the waters. However, he realized that he could not try at all. The activation of the last Qi Lock was far more difficult than he had imagined.
He shook his head. Xiao Shi decided not to think about the opening of the last Qi Lock first. Now that he had reached the late-stage Qi Martial realm, his overall strength had increased greatly.
“Now I should be able to kill a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator, right?” Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up.
But he also knew that there was also a difference in strength between the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm.
A Major Perfection Qi Martial cultivator who had activated a hundred Qi vortexes was only the weakest type of Major Perfection Qi Martial cultivator. After all, the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm did not only need to activate all the Qi vortexes. It also had to combine and condense all the Qi vortexes in his body. It could be said that this was the most important step of the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm.
The cultivator in Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm where all the Qi vortexes were condensed, would be far stronger than a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator who had activated a hundred Qi vortexes.
Moreover, according to different cultivation techniques, different combinations, it would also produce differences in strength.
Xiao Shi had yet to fight a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator who had completed the Qi vortex condensation. Therefore, he didn’t understand this kind of strength at the Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm.
However, he was cautious.
He wondered if he would encounter such a Major Perfection Qi Martial realm cultivator later. He had to be careful. They could not be underestimated. Otherwise, he might fail.
However, Xiao Shi thought that even if he was no match for a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator who had completed the Qi vortex condensation, it was unrealistic for the other party to kill him.
As the Echelon Competition approached, Cheng Tianhao was a little anxious after not getting a reply from Xiao Shi for a long time. So far, he had successfully found the other three hand guards.
Only Xiao Shi was left.
“No! I’ll have to ask him again.”
To Cheng Tianhao, Xiao Shi was indispensable. It was crucial.
He was not worried that the other competitors would poach Xiao Shi. He did not believe that anyone else could offer better conditions than him. He was afraid that Xiao Shi would not be interested.
Therefore, he came to find Xiao Shi again and issued an invitation.
“If Brother Nie thinks that one Shadow Seed is not enough, I can continue to increase the price!” Cheng Tianhao said sincerely.
Xiao Shi looked at him deeply. “I need to know why.”
Cheng Tianhao knew the reason Xiao Shi was talking about. He did not hide it. He answered directly. “The Echelon Competition is a very secret matter to many people, especially the specific situation of the competition. Most people don’t know. To show my sincerity, I can tell Brother Nie everything 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, long, and mysterious ancient tree. All the trees in the Tree Shadow City are a part of this ancient tree.
“And the Echelon for the Tree Shadow has to obtain the approval of this ancient tree. Therefore, the competition for the Echelon will be held inside the ancient tree! As long as I can obtain an ancient tree crystal inside the ancient tree, I can inherit… the Tree Shadow Echelon!”
Xiao Shi did not say anything. This was still not what he wanted to know.
Cheng Tianhao continued. “The main reason why I want Brother Nie to be my hand guard is that as the first of the Tree Spirit Killing List, Brother Nie’s body is stained with the aura of many tree spirits.
“In fact, there is a very subtle relationship between the tree spirit and the ancient tree. The tree spirit aura on Brother Nie’s body can be very useful inside the ancient tree.
“As this is the first time I’ve been inside the ancient tree, I’m not very clear about the specific situation inside. I only know that people who are infected with the aura of many tree spirits will be of great help to me in fighting for the Tree Shadow Echelon. Therefore, I hope that Brother Nie can help me and become my hand guard!” Cheng Tianhao said sincerely.
“It’s indeed the aura of the tree spirit.” Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. This was in line with his expectations.
Although the Martial Emperor Mask had made him immune to the corrosion of the tree spirit aura, the tree spirit aura was still attached to him, even when it was blocked by the Martial Emperor Mask.
