[Remark 2: There will be different items in different Heavenly Mystery Boxes. The type of this Heavenly Mystery Box is lost, so the items in the Heavenly Mystery Box will be lost in the world.]
[Remark 3: There will be a price to pay for opening the Heavenly Mystery Box, but this price is not fixed. It will appear randomly.]
Xiao Shi looked at the box in his hand. He was a little surprised. He did not expect this box to have such an effect.
Heavenly Mystery Box.
Before that, he had never heard of such a box. However, from the level of this box, it seemed normal to not have heard of it before. After all, this box was directly at the Martial Soul level. For example, in the Seven Star Province, the strongest was only at the Blood Martial Realm. It was impossible for such a martial soul-level Heaven Mystery Box to appear.
Now that he understood the use of this box, Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. He was extremely curious and expectant about the items in the Heavenly Mystery Box. If he could obtain a powerful Body Tempering cultivation technique from the box, it could very well resolve his current situation.
Even if he did not obtain the Body Tempering cultivation technique he wanted, he might be able to obtain other unexpected treasures. This was something filled with the unknown and mysterious. Often, the temptation was the greatest.
However, Xiao Shi was a little afraid of the price of opening the Heavenly Mystery Box.
Although the note did not specify what the price would be, this was what Xiao Shi was most afraid of. Especially since the Heavenly Mystery Box was a Martial Soul-grade item. If the price for opening it was according to the standards of the Martial Soul Realm, such a price was far from what he could withstand now.
However, if he had to wait until he reached the Martial Soul Realm to open it, it would be too far away.
Xiao Shi didn’t want to wait so long. He was in urgent need of items that could increase his strength.
“Should I take a gamble?” Xiao Shi was a little conflicted. After some thought, he gritted his teeth. “Let’s give it a try!”
The reason why he had such confidence was because he thought of the Ancient Cang’e Tree. Although he did not know what level the Ancient Cang’e Tree had reached, it should have at least reached the Martial Soul Realm.
If the price of opening the Heavenly Mystery Box was a price that only the Martial Soul Realm could afford, he might be able to transfer it to the Ancient Cang’e Tree. As the owner of the Ancient Cang’e Tree, he had this ability.
It was rare to have this box. If he did not make good use of it, it would be a waste. The earlier he used it, the faster his strength and cultivation could increase.
Xiao Shi no longer hesitated. Currently, he is still inside the Ancient Cang’e Tree. He felt absolutely safe here. Even if something unexpected happened, with the strength of the Ancient Cang’e Tree, it could calmly deal with it.
Xiao Shi looked at the box in his hand. In front of the box, there was a circular depression pattern that looked like the Eight Trigrams. It contained some strange rules. Just by looking at it, he felt that it was very profound and extraordinary.
Xiao Shi knew that this was the key to opening the Heavenly Mystery Box. He immediately extended his hand and pressed his finger on the pattern.
Buzz!
The moment his finger touched the pattern, the pattern seemed to have been activated. It suddenly spun at high speed. And in such a high-speed rotation, a huge wheel was projected behind Xiao Shi.
The wheel was also spinning at an extremely fast speed. It made Xiao Shi feel indescribably strange. It was as if he was currently in some kind of law. His entire body fell into a motionless state, unable to move.
Although he could not turn around to look, he could clearly feel the wheel spinning behind him. At the same time, he knew that there were many different prices on the wheel. When the wheel stopped spinning, he would have to bear the price of the corresponding position.
As it continued to spin, the roulette became slower and slower. Finally, it stopped spinning.
Buzz!
The wheel had already stopped moving. But the wheel that Xiao Shi felt was blurry. He could not see the price on the wheel. He could only see a pattern on the roulette he was dealing with. The pattern was a ball of fire.
“What does it mean?” Xiao Shi did not understand. The entire wheel dissipated with a bang. Xiao Shi’s figure returned to normal. However, he frowned tightly. He did not know what price he would have to pay next. He only knew that it was a pattern of fire. “Could it be that some heavenly fire will descend?”
Xiao Shi was tense. He did not dare to be careless at all. He was worried that some unknown danger would appear at any time. However, after waiting for a long time, there were no abnormalities. Nor did the heavenly fire fall as he had imagined.
This made him even more puzzled. He could not guess what the price of the pattern of this ball of fire was. However, according to the current situation, he felt that the price of opening the Heavenly Mystery Box might not be immediate. Instead, it would appear at a certain moment in the future.
If that was the case, that would be even harder to guard against. He shook his head. Xiao Shi felt that since he couldn’t figure it out now, there was no need to stay here and be afraid. As long as he had enough strength, there was no need to worry about the price.
He turned to look at the Heavenly Mystery Box beside him. The Heavenly Mystery Box had already been opened.
Xiao Shi took a deep breath. He could not wait to pick it up. It slowly opened. His burning gaze focused on the box.
He saw a pure black mask inside the box. The mask had a unique shape and emitted a shocking aura. And the most terrifying thing was when Xiao Shi opened the box.
Boom!!
The aura emitted from the black mask immediately caused the entire sky of the Tiandou Province to tremble.
In an instant, streams of black aura continuously gathered in the sky, causing more than half of the sky in the Tiandou Province to turn black. These black auras kept gathering in the sky above the Tiandou Province, forming a huge black mask.
It was the mask that Xiao Shi had opened from the box!
Although Xiao Shi was staying inside the Ancient Cang’e Tree, he also sensed that something was amiss. He immediately saw the scene in the sky through the vision provided by the Ancient Cang’e Tree. His expression changed drastically. He did not expect the mask opened from the Heavenly Mystery Box to be so shocking!
Fortunately, everyone in the outside world could only see the huge black mask formed in the sky, but they could not sense where it came from. Even the people in Tree Shadow City could not sense that this was the aura emitted by their city, causing a drastic change.
At this moment, everyone looked at the black mask that appeared in the sky in a daze.
“What… what is this?!”
Many people were puzzled. They subconsciously felt uneasy. To be able to form such a scene above the entire Tiandou Province was definitely not something an ordinary martial artist could do.
“Could it be that something big is going to happen?” Some people could not help but guess.
The fifth elder, who presided over Tree Shadow City, was also staring at the black mask in the sky. His brows were tightly furrowed. Even with his knowledge and experience, he could not tell what this black mask represented.
However, the moment the First Elder who presided over Wind Shadow City saw the huge black mask in the sky, her expression changed drastically. “Could this be…?” She thought of a rumor! “If it’s really it… that’s bad!! But… how is this possible?! That existence has clearly disappeared for hundreds of years. How did it appear?! And it appeared in our Tiandou Province…”
She took a deep breath. She knew that the situation was urgent. Regardless of whether it was what she thought, she needed to report this matter to the Shadow Master immediately..
