“I won’t have to worry about my own safety and have enough strength to protect my close friends.” Xiao Shi picked up the wine pot. He drank it all in one gulp. His heart was clear.
Tree Shadow City.
In a luxurious tree house.
Cheng Tianhao sat in front of the desk with a frown.
“According to the news we’ve received so far, it’s not only our Swift Shadow Palace that was attacked by experts this time. Heaven Scar Pavilion, Extreme Fire Sect, and Lei Miao Monastery were also attacked.
“Among them, the Heaven Scar Pavilion was even breached by foreign experts. The pavilion master of the Heaven Scar Pavilion died in battle, and the entire Heaven Scar Pavilion was almost plundered. There were heavy casualties.
“This way, the Heaven Scar Pavilion will definitely fall from the four first-tier factions. Next, the entire Tiandou Province will welcome a major reshuffle. At that time… will our Swift Shadow Palace still be able to maintain a first-rate force?” Cheng Tianhao pinched his glabella.
Now that he held a high position in the Swift Shadow Palace, there were many high-level issues that he did not have to consider in the past, but now, he needed to think about them seriously.
“Your cultivation level has increased quite a bit. Not bad.”
A sudden voice interrupted Cheng Tianhao’s thoughts. He suddenly looked up. He saw Xiao Shi sitting on the chair in front of him.
In Cheng Tianhao’s eyes, Xiao Shi’s identity was Nie Jie.
“Master? You’re back!” Cheng Tianhao stood up in surprise. Ever since Xiao Shi left the Swift Shadow Palace, Cheng Tianhao had been very worried. Especially as more and more experts gathered in Tiandou Province, the chaos outside made him very worried about Xiao Shi’s safety.
While Cheng Tianhao was deeply delighted to see Xiao Shi return safely, he could not help but sigh again. His master was truly unfathomable. He could return safely in such a dangerous environment outside. Moreover, his entire strength and cultivation seemed to have increased greatly.
Xiao Shi sized up Cheng Tianhao. They had not seen each other for a while. Cheng Tianhao had changed quite a bit. He had shed his immaturity and matured a lot. He already had the aura of a superior.
Previously, through Cen Qingci and the others, Xiao Shi had already learned that Cheng Tianhao was now a deacon of the Swift Shadow Palace. His status was second only to the five elders of the Swift Shadow Palace. In terms of cultivation, he had already reached the peak of the first blood realm. It would probably not be long before he could condense the second Intrinsic Martial Blood.
This speed was already quite fast.
“I need you to help me with something.” Xiao Shi went straight to the point.
“Master, please speak.” Cheng Tianhao said respectfully. No matter how his status and strength increased, his attitude towards Xiao Shi would not change at all.
Xiao Shi immediately told Cheng Tianhao his plan. Before he came, he had already thought of a way to improve the disciples of the Red Tiger Sect. However, this required Cheng Tianhao’s cooperation.
Cheng Tianhao listened carefully and remembered Xiao Shi’s instructions. “I will definitely complete Master’s instructions.”
Xiao Shi nodded. “If you have any thoughts on the second Intrinsic Martial Blood, you can tell me at any time.”
“Thank you, Master!” Cheng Tianhao bowed in gratitude excitedly. He knew the meaning of his master’s words. It meant that he could help him condense the second Intrinsic Martial Blood. Now, he did have some thoughts on the condensation of the second Intrinsic Martial Blood.
However, due to his own strength, it was difficult for him to do so. If he had Xiao Shi’s help, Cheng Tianhao felt that it would definitely not be difficult for him to condense a second Intrinsic Martial Blood.
“There’s more. I need a way to break through to the Martial Soul Realm.” Xiao Shi said. He believed that with Cheng Tianhao’s current status in the Swift Shadow Palace, it would not be too difficult for him to obtain a method to break through to the Martial Soul Realm.
“Understood.” Cheng Tianhao nodded.
The next day, Cheng Tianhao began to take action according to Xiao Shi’s instructions. This time, Xiao Shi was mainly using Cheng Tianhao to help him increase the strength and cultivation of the Red Tiger Sect’s Qi Martial Realm disciples. It would allow them to reach the Blood Martial Realm as soon as possible.
Under Cheng Tianhao’s arrangements, Xiao Shi provided these Qi Martial Realm disciples with a large number of spirit tree auras through the Ancient Cang’e Tree. It allowed their strength and cultivation to increase quickly.
The advancement of the Qi Martial Realm was originally to unlock Qi vortexes through the absorption of aura. With the aura of these spiritual trees, they would be much faster at cracking the qi lock.
In addition, among the disciples who were about to break through to the Blood Martial Realm, Xiao Shi chose two disciples with good aptitude and prepared to give them the second generation Red Tiger bloodline.
Cen Qingci was one of them. Whether it was because of the friendship between the two of them or Cen Qingci’s potential in martial arts, Xiao Shi would definitely give her the second generation Red Tiger Bloodline.
However, Xiao Shi did not personally appear as the Patriarch of the Red Tiger Sect. Instead, he handed the second-generation Red Tiger Blood Source to Guo Chengdao and asked him to give it to them.
Currently, Xiao Shi did not want others to know that there was an unfathomable Patriarch in the Red Tiger Sect. These things were mainly done by Guo Chengdao.
Under Xiao Shi’s arrangements, the disciples of the Red Tiger Sect enjoyed great cultivation convenience in Tree Shadow City. The strength of many Qi Martial Realm disciples increased by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
Cen Qingci and her small team progressed at lightning speed under Xiao Shi’s special care. In less than a month, they stepped into the Blood Martial Realm one after another. Moreover, they had all obtained Xiao Shi’s second-generation Red Tiger Bloodline.
However, Xiao Shi did not teach them the Mutated Blood Tiger Transformation Scripture, considering that now was not the time.
At the same time, under Cheng Tianhao’s arrangements, the series of shocking improvements that happened to the Red Tiger Sect disciples did not attract the attention of the Swift Shadow Palace.
Guo Chengdao was also restraining these disciples and developing wretchedly.
“According to this progress, I believe it won’t be long before the Red Tiger Sect forms a group of Blood Martial Realm disciples.
“At that time, I’ll teach them the Mutated Blood Tiger Transformation Scripture and give them the Intrinsic Martial Blood in my hand. I believe that the Red Tiger Sect will directly surpass the Swift Shadow Palace at the Blood Martial Realm.”
Although there were many Blood Martial Realm martial artists in the Swift Shadow Palace, 90% of them used mortal blood as their Intrinsic Martial Blood. Moreover, they were all mortal blood from dozens of generations later.
As for the Red Tiger Sect, even the weakest was a third-generation Red Tiger bloodline! Moreover, the second-generation Red Tiger Blood Source was comparable to other first-generation true blood.
It could be said that these Blood Martial Realm disciples of the Red Tiger Sect could each fight two to three Blood Martial Realm disciples of the same strength.
Apart from the increase in the strength of the Red Tiger Sect’s disciples, Xiao Shi’s own cultivation was also very important. He originally thought that with Cheng Tianhao’s current status in the Swift Shadow Palace, it would definitely not be difficult for him to obtain the Martial Soul Realm breakthrough method.
Unexpectedly, even with Cheng Tianhao’s identity, he could not find a way to break through to the Martial Soul Realm of the Swift Shadow Palace.
According to Cheng Tianhao, the method to break through to the Martial Soul Realm was already considered an important foundation in the Swift Shadow Palace. It was not something that could be touched casually.
One had to obtain the permission of an elder or Shadow Master to come into contact with the Martial Soul Realm breakthrough method of the Swift Shadow Palace.
With Cheng Tianhao’s current First Blood Realm cultivation, even if he applied to the elder, the other party would not agree. After all, his strength was still far from the Martial Soul Realm.
“That’s true. From the level of the Swift Shadow Palace, the Martial Soul Realm is most likely their highest limit, representing their peak. A cultivation technique to break through to the Martial Soul Realm is naturally their most important foundation. It’s impossible for them to be casually seen by others.”
After realizing this, Xiao Shi felt that it was troublesome. If he could not obtain the method to break through to the Martial Soul Realm from the Swift Shadow Palace, he would have no clue at all.
During this period of time, he had also been constantly studying the Red Tiger Totem. He wanted to see if he could study some follow-up things from the Red Tiger Totem. However, after the research, he was basically certain that the Red Tiger Totem had already reached an upper limit.
The upper limit of the three lower realms of martial arts.
This Red Tiger Totem could at most provide him with a method to break through to the lower three realms of martial arts. Unless he promoted the Red Tiger Totem to a higher intermediate three realms, it would only have a method to break through to the intermediate three realms.
Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to obtain the method to break through to the subsequent realm through the Red Tiger Totem. In order to increase the Red Tiger Totem or understand the subsequent cultivation of this system, he had to know more secrets behind the Red Tiger Totem.
Xiao Shi couldn’t help but think of a mysterious faction.
