Chapter 586: Crisis from the Future (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This meant that according to his current development, one day in the future, he would still be unable to resist this huge face. It was still a situation of certain death!
This immediately made Xiao Shi feel an incomparably strong sense of urgency. He could not help but clench his fists tightly. Logically speaking, the speed at which his strength increased was already very terrifying, but such a speed was actually not enough to resolve this crisis.
“In other words, this huge face will be here before long. And with my current speed of improvement, it’s definitely impossible for me to reach the level of a Daolord in such a short period of time. Therefore, the future I see now is still a situation of certain death.” Xiao Shi quickly analyzed it in his heart.
If he wanted to resolve this crisis, there were only two ways. One was to extend the time for the huge face to arrive. The later it arrived, the more time Xiao Shi would have to increase his strength. But he could only deduce that the time for this huge face to arrive was approaching, he did not know when it would arrive. Nor could he think of any way to extend its arrival.
So he could only increase his strength at an even faster speed before this huge face arrived. He had to strive to have the strength to resist this huge face when it arrived. But this was equally difficult.
As his martial arts realm continued to increase, the further he went, the harder it was to break through each realm. For example, in the Sage Realm, not only did one have to have sufficient talent, comprehension, and other conditions, but more importantly, they had to have an area that could be refined. If there was no area to refine, no matter how good his conditions were, he would not be able to become a Sage.
Moreover, with the level of this huge face, it was at the Daolord level at the very least! Which meant, just breaking through to the Sage Realm was far from enough. He had to become a Daolord.
This was obviously unrealistic in the short term. Even with Xiao Shi’s extraordinary strength improvement speed, it was impossible. However, Xiao Shi felt that there might be another way!
According to the scene he had seen previously, he had only been stared at by this huge face after leaving the Imperial Domain. He felt that this huge face was very likely that he would not be able to enter the Imperial Domain. It had to wait until he left the Imperial Domain before it could attack him.
This guess was not unfounded.
Although the current Imperial Domain was far inferior to the Great Wu Empire’s strongest period, it was still the Martial Emperor’s domain. There were many methods and arrangements of the Martial Emperor when he was alive.
Even the three demigod Heavenly Kings were unable to step into the Imperial Domain. It was normal that this huge face could not enter. If he stayed in the Imperial Domain, it could effectively avoid this huge face.
However, there was another problem here. If he continued to stay in the Imperial Domain, he would not be able to break through to the Sage Realm. With the current situation of the Imperial Domain, he definitely could not refine the area here. Even if it took ten years, the remaining areas would not be his. It was definitely impossible to count on the area in the Imperial Domain.
This gave him a headache. Unless he was content with the current situation and used the Martial Demon Realm as his ultimate goal, he would not attempt to break through to a higher martial realm.
He could hide in the Imperial Domain for the rest of his life and not go anywhere. However, with his pursuit of martial arts, he was clearly unwilling to stop at the Martial Demon Realm. Moreover, he felt that even if he was willing to hide in the Imperial Domain for the rest of his life and not go anywhere, it might not be safe.
The current Great Wu Empire looked calm. But in fact, many people were staring at the Great Wu Empire. Especially the three demigod Heavenly Kings. All of them had ulterior motives. Although they did not seem to be able to do anything to the Great Wu Empire now, this did not mean that they would not be able to do anything to the Great Wu Empire in the future.
Perhaps one day in the future, they would be able to find a way to deal with the Great Wu Empire. Once the Great Wu Empire was destroyed, Xiao Shi’s situation would be dangerous. If he wanted to survive in this chaotic world, it was definitely impossible to rely on cowardness. Only when one had absolute strength would one be truly safe.
“Looks like I have to hurry up and increase my strength faster!” Xiao Shi took a deep breath. He felt that the best way to deal with it was to first refine an area outside the Imperial Domain and advance to the Sage realm before this huge face arrived.
If he didn’t have enough time to break through to the Daolord realm, then he would hide in the Imperial Domain and think of a way to break through to the Daolord Realm in the Imperial Domain.
“I remember that the incomplete consciousness in the black coffin once said that it chose me because it felt an aura from me that could revive it. As long as the existence in the black coffin revives, this crisis can be resolved. After all, this crisis originated from the black coffin.
“Previously, I thought that the aura that could revive the black coffin might be from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. However, from the information 1 have so far, it doesn’t seem to be from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.”
Xiao Shi frowned. Previously, his understanding of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was limited. In addition, he had used the Red Tiger Totem to fuse this black coffin into his body. Therefore, he felt that the black coffin had chosen him because he had sensed the aura of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect contained in the Red Tiger Totem.
But now that he understood the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, he did not discover any power or item that could revive the black coffin in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Either his guess at that time was wrong, that the aura that could revive the black coffin did not come from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, or perhaps, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect still had some secrets that he did not know about.
Xiao Shi felt that he could first understand the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect through Xiang Zizhen. He would first determine if the aura that could revive the black coffin was related to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect before taking the next step.
If the existence in the black coffin really needed the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect to revive it, Xiao Shi could move in this direction. If it wasn’t, he had to find the aura on him that made the other party feel that he could revive.
No matter what, he had to prioritize this matter. After all, this concerned his future safety.
Xiao Shi originally thought that according to the speed at which his current strength increased and he had already left the Xingluo Territory, he could resolve this crisis. Unexpectedly, under the second deduction of the Heavenly Mystery Disc fragment, the result remains unchanged. He shook his head.
Xiao Shi temporarily put this future crisis aside. This time, when he entered the Heavenly Mystery Palace, using the Heavenly Mystery Disc fragment to deduce the future danger was only secondary. The most important thing was to open up a new area of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
There are a total of four closed areas in this huge black palace. Every time Xiao Shi broke through a realm, he could open up an area. When he broke through to the Martial Soul Realm previously, he had already successfully established an area where he could dig for information. Thus, he activated the Heavenly Mystery Eye.
Presently, he would open up another area in the remaining three areas. According to his speculation, apart from the information area, the remaining three areas were the area that could form the Heavenly Mystery Box, the area that could be crossed in the Heavenly Mystery City, and the last area whose exact function was unknown.
“If I open up the area to form the Heavenly Mystery Box, 1 can continuously form the Heavenly Mystery Box through the Heavenly Mystery Palace. Apart from being able to open the Heavenly Mystery Box myself, I can also exchange it for some other benefits in the Tianwu Continent.”
Xiao Shi knew very well what value the Heavenly Mystery Box had in the Tianwu Continent. Even the Prince and the three demigod Heavenly Kings attached great importance to the Heavenly Mystery Box. After all, the Heavenly Mystery Box could open any unexpected items. Including those items with extremely high realms. It was enough to move every martial artist, no matter what realm or cultivation they were at..
