155: Blockade of Tianluo Territory

At the same time.

In Star Luo Province, which is quite far from Tian Dou Province.

As the most important core province of the Star Luo Territory.

Although the entire Star Luo Province is comparable in size to Tian Dou Province, the number of powerhouses in the two provinces is vastly different.

The number of powerhouses in Star Luo Province is not only more than in Tian Dou Province.

Moreover, within Star Luo Province, there is also the strongest powerhouse of the entire Star Luo Territory, the Star Luo Lord.

Since Star Luo Province and Tian Dou Province are not connected, and several provinces separate the two, the people of Star Luo Province cannot see the giant black mask that has now appeared above Tian Dou Province.

However, at this moment, in an ordinary inn in Star Luo Province.

The moment the giant black mask appeared above Tian Dou Province.

The inn owner, who was originally bowing his head to calculate accounts, suddenly trembled violently.

Immediately, dark purple lines appeared on his face.

These lines continuously multiplied on his face, and in an instant, they intertwined to form a dark purple mask.

The inn owner's eyes immediately filled with shock and ecstasy.

So much so that his body trembled with excitement.

"Hall Master!! The Hall Master has appeared!!"

It wasn't just the inn owner in Star Luo Province.

At this time, the leader of the Boundless Sect in Baita Province also had a dark purple mask appear on his entire face.

Even a prominent figure like the leader of the Boundless Sect.

At this moment, he was overjoyed.

At the same time.

This situation was not only happening in the Star Luo Territory.

In various parts of the Tianwu Continent.

Even in places incredibly far from the Star Luo Territory.

People's faces continuously showed masks.

Among them were inconspicuous vendors, patriarchs of powerful clans, and even some prodigies with astonishing talents.

And it wasn't just people from the Orthodox Faction.

Even among the Demonic Path forces, people's faces also showed masks.

At this moment.

Everyone whose face showed a mask felt an indescribable ecstasy in their hearts.

They all knew.

The appearance of the mask signified that the Hall Master, who had disappeared for hundreds of years, had reappeared in the Tianwu Continent!

...Rapid Shadow Palace.

The Grand Elder, dressed in white with white hair.

At this moment, he was respectfully standing in front of a giant stone gate.

The entire stone gate was dozens of feet high, with strange patterns on it.

There were human faces, fierce beasts, and giant trees.

All these patterns had double images.

And they were constantly swaying.

Making the entire stone gate look very psychedelic, giving people a dizzying sensation.

The Rapid Shadow Palace Grand Elder had already truthfully reported the situation outside to the Shadow Master inside the gate.

"If I'm not mistaken, the black mask that has now appeared above Tian Dou Province represents the mysterious force from hundreds of years ago, Tianji Hall!!"

"Ever since the Hall Master of Tianji Hall fell hundreds of years ago, the heavens secret mask was lost, leading to the complete decline of Tianji Hall in the Tianwu Continent during these hundreds of years..."

"If the black mask appearing above Tian Dou Province this time is the reappearance of Tianji Hall, then our Tian Dou Province will likely soon face a storm!"

The Rapid Shadow Palace Grand Elder was very clear.

Since the black mask appeared above Tian Dou Province.

This indicated that the new Hall Master of Tianji Hall was born in their Tian Dou Province.

This would inevitably attract powerhouses from all sides to desperately search for this Hall Master of Tianji Hall.

After all, Tianji Hall... is not an ordinary force.

This is a mysterious force capable of shaking the entire Tianwu Continent.

For some reason.

The Great Wu Dynasty had once issued an extermination order against Tianji Hall, intending to eradicate this mysterious force.

Unfortunately, they failed.

Although the imperial power of the Great Wu Dynasty has now collapsed.

And powerhouses from various regions have carved up territories.

There are still many forces that harbor deep hatred for Tianji Hall.

Once they know that the new Hall Master of Tianji Hall has been born in Tian Dou Province, then even if they have to turn the entire Tian Dou Province upside down, they will surely find him.

Similarly.

The members of Tianji Hall cannot allow Tianji Hall to decline again.

They will surely rush to Tian Dou Province to protect the Hall Master.

And one of the strengths of Tianji Hall.

Lies in the extreme complexity of its members.

It includes all kinds of people.

There are powerful overlords who hold high positions and govern regions.

There are also strong individuals with extremely high cultivation levels.

Once they all rush to Tian Dou Province and large-scale battles break out... then let alone Tian Dou Province, even the Star Luo Territory might be destroyed in the fierce battles between these powerhouses.

This is also why the Rapid Shadow Palace Grand Elder was so eager to report this news to the Shadow Master.

This matter was simply too significant.

It already concerned the life and death of their Rapid Shadow Palace, and even the entire Tian Dou Province.

Although their Rapid Shadow Palace is quite formidable in Tian Dou Province, being a first-tier force, compared to a behemoth like Tianji Hall, it is utterly insignificant.

Now, with the Rapid Shadow Palace Grand Elder's report.

The many patterns on the stone gate also vibrated.

Amidst this vibration.

These double images also showed extremely violent fluctuations.

This indicated that the Shadow Master of the Rapid Shadow Palace could not maintain his calm at this moment.

He could no longer continue his seclusion.

And had to come out early... At the same time.

In a place incredibly far from the Star Luo Territory.

There existed a massive and ancient stone temple.

The entire stone temple was filled with the vicissitudes of time.

It seemed to have existed for countless ages.

Inside the stone temple, there were colossal stone statues.

Now, all these stone statues had awakened.

From the leading tall stone statue, a deep and resonant voice suddenly came.

"Tianji Hall... has appeared!!"

"Ever since the fall of the Hall Master of Tianji Hall, we have been searching the world for the whereabouts of the heavens secret mask, but we have never found it..."

"We thought the heavens secret mask had been completely lost from the Tianwu Continent, but unexpectedly, it has reappeared!"

"The current Tianwu Continent is no longer the same as it was hundreds of years ago. The appearance of the heavens secret mask this time may make the situation on the Tianwu Continent even more chaotic. I propose to immediately implement a regional blockade to prevent chaos to the greatest extent possible!"

"I agree."

"I also agree."

The other stone statues echoed... On the other side.

In a room filled with various complex runes.

An old Daoist with an immortal-like demeanor was sitting with his eyes closed in the center of many runes.

His ancient eyes suddenly opened and closed.

Buzz!

The moment his eyes opened and closed.

From his eyes, a brilliant light burst forth, and the entire light directly formed a scene in front of him.

It was precisely the scene of the black mask appearing above Tian Dou Province.

This made the old man frown.

A hoarse voice murmured from his mouth.

"heavens secret mask? How is this possible!"

"As early as when the Hall Master of Tianji Hall fell, I tried to deduce the whereabouts of the heavens secret mask, but with my deduction ability at that time, I couldn't deduce its whereabouts."

"After that, every few decades, I would deduce the heavens secret mask once..."

"I deduced it for hundreds of years consecutively, but still couldn't deduce its whereabouts."

"Logically speaking, the heavens secret mask should have been completely lost from the Tianwu Continent, so why has it reappeared now?"

The old man's brows were deeply furrowed.

In terms of deduction, he considered himself to have reached the pinnacle in the entire Tianwu Continent.

What he couldn't deduce, by rights, shouldn't exist in the Tianwu Continent.

But this time... an unprecedented situation had occurred.

So much so that he for the first time doubted his own deduction abilities... At this time, although Xiao Shi did not know that the mask opened from the heavenly secret box had already caused a stir throughout the entire Tianwu Continent.

However, the entire black mask displayed above Tian Dou Province also made him realize that this black mask was even more extraordinary than he had imagined.

He stared at the black mask in the box.

Information about the black mask appeared in his line of sight.

【Name: heavens secret mask】

【Type: Mask】

【Grade: ???】

【Introduction: The founding object of Tianji Hall. Only when the heavens secret mask appears can Tianji Hall exist. The holder of the heavens secret mask will automatically become the Hall Master of Tianji Hall.】

【Note 1: After wearing the heavens secret mask, you can enter Tianji Hall.】

【Note 2: The heavens secret mask has no specific requirements for the wearer's strength and cultivation, but the wearer's strength and cultivation will determine the usage of the heavens secret mask. The stronger the strength and cultivation, the more functions can be utilized.】

【Note 3: When the heavens secret mask appears, the first person to see it will become its holder.】

...Xiao Shi looked at the information in front of him.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Combining it with the scene displayed in the sky, he instantly realized that the value of this [heavens secret mask] was incredibly astonishing!

"Tianji Hall?"

Xiao Shi heard this name for the first time.

According to the introduction of the entire [heavens secret mask].

Possessing the [heavens secret mask] would make one the Hall Master of Tianji Hall.

In other words.

He now had the identity of a Hall Master!

Although Xiao Shi was not yet very clear about the significance of Tianji Hall.

He could also realize that this Hall Master identity was not simple.

At the same time, he couldn't help but associate Tianji Hall with the heavenly secret box.

He felt that there must be some connection between the two.

At this moment, the black mask that appeared in the sky above Tian Dou Province had dissipated.

The entire black mask only lasted for more than ten breaths of time.

Although very short.

It had already caused a huge shock to everyone in Tian Dou Province who witnessed this scene.

Xiao Shi quickly took the entire [heavens secret mask] out of the box.

At this time, the [heavens secret mask] no longer released astonishing aura as it did when the heavenly secret box was first opened.

Now, the [heavens secret mask] looked very ordinary.

As if it was just an ordinary black mask.

But Xiao Shi was very clear.

Once this mask was exposed, his situation would inevitably be extremely dangerous!

He immediately decided that he would never use this mask in front of others.

"Although the mask that appeared in the sky earlier was formed by the aura released from me, no one should have noticed..."

Xiao Shi felt slightly relieved about this.

Even for the sake of caution.

He decided not to wear this mask for the time being.

Although he was curious about the note that he would enter Tianji Hall after wearing the mask.

He was worried that wearing the mask might cause some significant commotion.

Now that such a scene had appeared in the sky above Tian Dou Province, everyone was paying attention to this mask. At such a time, it was best not to use it yet.

Wait until the storm subsides.

Then conduct research.

Just like that.

After Xiao Shi continued to nourish the Crimson Tiger Totem inside the Azure Calamity Ancient Tree, he returned to Tree Shadow City.

Now, everyone in Tree Shadow City was discussing the scene that had appeared in the sky earlier.

They were incredibly surprised by it.

Stating that such a scene had never appeared in Tian Dou Province before.

Many people also made some guesses, thinking that something big would definitely happen in Tian Dou Province next.

Xiao Shi didn't pay too much attention to everyone's discussions.

Although the [heavens secret mask] opened from the [heavenly secret box] this time was extraordinary.

He couldn't use it now.

As a result.

He needed to re-plan his next goals.

The most important thing for him at present was naturally to kill Blood Martial Realm martial artists to drop Blood Martial Grade items.

He also knew, however.

As martial arts realms advanced.

The higher one went, the fewer there would be.

It was obviously not that easy to find and kill Blood Martial Realm martial artists in Tian Dou Province.

Although the Blood Martial Realm was not the strongest realm in Tian Dou Province, it was already considered a high-level powerhouse here.

The death of every Blood Martial Realm martial artist would inevitably cause a certain degree of shock.

It wouldn't be as easy as when he killed Entering Martial Realm and Qi Martial Realm martial artists.

And it would be difficult to carry out large-scale killings.

And killing Blood Martial Realm martial artists within the Rapid Shadow Palace would be even more difficult.

Although Xiao Shi really wanted to slaughter a few Rapid Shadow Palace sequence disciples.

He knew it wasn't realistic.

At the same time, his Natal Martial Blood had not yet completely stabilized, and he could not yet use the power of his Natal Martial Blood.

After some thought.

Xiao Shi decided to first stabilize his Natal Martial Blood.

After his Natal Martial Blood was stabilized, he might need to find a way to leave the Rapid Shadow Palace.

At the same time.

The black mask that appeared above Tian Dou Province had already caused a stir among all forces in Tian Dou Province.

Although not everyone knew about the existence of Tianji Hall.

Many powerhouses had heard of the great name of Tianji Hall.

Especially the four first-tier forces in Tian Dou Province.

These four forces were able to stand out among many forces and become the strongest, naturally having some veteran powerhouses.

Therefore, when they realized that the black mask appearing above Tian Dou Province was the heavens secret mask from hundreds of years ago.

They all realized the seriousness of the situation.

And immediately reported the matter to the Star Luo Territory Lord at the fastest speed.

And even the Star Luo Territory Lord, upon learning of this matter, was greatly shaken.

He deeply knew that if this matter was not handled well.

His entire Star Luo Territory might be destroyed as a result!

"The Star Luo Territory must be immediately blockaded!!"

Even a powerful figure like the Star Luo Territory Lord was sweating profusely at this moment.

He quickly blockaded the Star Luo Territory first.

Preventing people from outside the Star Luo Territory from entering during this period.

Although he knew that the blockade he implemented.

Would not have much effect on those overly powerful existences, it could at least serve as a warning.

The Star Luo Lord was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and immediately blockaded the Star Luo Territory.

This prevented anyone from outside the Star Luo Territory from entering during this period.

Although he knew that his blockade would not have much effect on those extremely powerful existences, it could at least serve as a warning.
