232: Zhang Chihu Sect, I have it protected!

Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

When Xiao Shi’s soul appeared in the pagoda, he returned to his original blurry form.

He couldn't discern his shape or appearance, hear any sounds, nor did he know that he was currently in soul form.

At the same time, unlike others, when he entered the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, he did not appear on the first floor, but on the highest, twelfth floor.

Throughout the entire empty twelfth floor, only he was present.

Xiao Shi walked down the stairs.

He passed the eleventh and tenth floors.

And arrived at the ninth floor.

He knew very well.

The ninth floor primarily featured treasures for the Blood Martial Realm and Martial Soul Realm.

As he continuously examined them.

Suddenly… Xiao Shi’s pupils constricted sharply when he saw one of the treasures.

It wasn't because this treasure was particularly astonishing.

But because he clearly remembered… the treasure in this position had already been exchanged by him, and it should be empty now.

Yet, a new treasure had appeared!

“Could it be…”

“The Myriad Treasure Pagoda also possesses the ability to replenish treasures!?”

Xiao Shi took a deep breath.

His mind was incomparably shaken.

If that were the case… wouldn't the treasures within the Myriad Treasure Pagoda be inexhaustible?

To verify this situation.

Xiao Shi simply went to the third floor.

Earlier, he had exchanged more treasures on the third floor, and he wanted to see if the positions of the treasures he had exchanged there had been replenished with new ones.

When he arrived on the third floor.

He immediately saw.

All the positions from which he had previously exchanged treasures now had new ones.

These replenished treasures were not identical to the original ones, and their values also varied.

“In other words…”

“When a treasure is exchanged, after a period of time, the Myriad Treasure Pagoda will replenish a batch of new treasures.”

“However, the value of these replenished treasures will differ from the previous ones.”

“It might replenish better treasures, or it might replenish inferior ones…”

“But the value of treasures that can appear from the eighth to the twelfth floor will not vary too much!”

Xiao Shi suddenly understood.

However, when he came down from the twelfth floor, he didn't find any new treasures appearing in the spot where the fragment of the celestial compass was placed on the eleventh floor.

Presumably, the higher the floor, and the greater the value of the treasure, the longer it would take to replenish!

No matter what… a Myriad Treasure Pagoda that can replenish treasures completely changes its value and significance!

“How does it replenish treasures?”

Xiao Shi was very curious.

As a high-grade, high-level peerless treasure, the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Was far more astonishing and extraordinary than he had imagined.

However, he felt that the treasures within the Myriad Treasure Pagoda should not be spontaneously generated by the Myriad Treasure Pagoda… He shook his head.

Xiao Shi knew that with his current realm, he definitely couldn't comprehend the secrets of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

With this treasure replenishment feature.

He no longer had to worry about exhausting the treasures here.

Soon.

He once again arrived at the ninth floor.

And found the cultivation technique he needed this time.

[Name: Bloodline Heavenly Mystery]

[Type: Profound Meaning]

[Grade: Blood Martial Grade]

[Introduction: A special item originating from the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.]

[Note 1: Through comprehension, one can unravel the Bloodline Profound Meaning.]

[Note 2: The comprehension of Bloodline Heavenly Mystery, in addition to requiring sufficient understanding, also hinges on potential. This potential primarily refers to Bloodline potential; if one's own Bloodline potential is insufficient, the profound meaning within cannot be comprehended.]

[Note 3: Mastering the Bloodline Profound Meaning allows one to step into the Martial Soul Realm.]

Value points: 394

...From a value perspective, this treasure.

Already belonged to the top-tier among Blood Martial Grade treasures.

After all, the value of Blood Martial Grade treasures ranged from 300-399.

And the value of this treasure was as high as 394.

It was already incredibly close to the highest value of Blood Martial Grade treasures.

The reason for such a high value.

Was also because this cultivation technique, no, it should be called a profound meaning, had an effect on all Bloodlines!

No matter what Bloodline it was!

One could comprehend the Bloodline Profound Meaning through this [Bloodline Heavenly Mystery].

Of course.

The comprehension of Bloodline Profound Meaning also depended heavily on the Bloodline itself.

If one's own Bloodline was lacking.

Then it meant that the Bloodline itself did not contain profound meaning.

Some body refining martial artists remained in the Blood Martial Realm their entire lives, unable to break through to the Martial Soul Realm, precisely because their own Bloodlines were insufficient.

Xiao Shi didn't need to worry about this.

With his Bloodline, there couldn't be a problem of insufficient potential.

After successfully exchanging for this [Bloodline Heavenly Mystery].

Xiao Shi then left the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

His soul returned to his body.

At the same time, [Bloodline Heavenly Mystery] was also brought out of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda with his soul.

“As long as I successfully comprehend the Bloodline Profound Meaning, my physical body will be able to step into the Martial Soul Realm!”

A light flickered in Xiao Shi’s eyes.

Although he felt that the Martial Soul Realm attained through body refining seemed to have fewer methods than the conventional Martial Soul Realm.

However, he also knew that his understanding of the body refining Martial Soul Realm was insufficient.

Perhaps when he stepped into the body refining Martial Soul Realm.

He would know what was different about it!

Xiao Shi immediately began comprehending [Bloodline Heavenly Mystery] within the Azure Calamity Ancient Tree… In Tree Shadow City.

Xiong Chang’s face was ashen.

He charged forward, colliding fiercely with a Red Tiger Sect disciple in front of him, engaging in a fierce battle.

The booming sounds.

Attracted the attention of others around.

All the nearby Red Tiger Sect disciples looked over.

Their expressions unfriendly.

“Damn it! These Rapid Shadow Palace guys are bullying us again!”

“But today is different from the past!”

“Before, we could only be submissive, but now if they dare to come, we’ll beat them so badly their own mother won’t recognize them!”

The Red Tiger Sect disciples clamored.

Ever since they came to Rapid Shadow Palace, they had been constantly subjected to harassment and ostracization by Rapid Shadow Palace disciples.

The contempt and disdain they showed towards them.

Made every one of them very uncomfortable.

This was still with Cheng Tianhao taking care of them, causing these Rapid Shadow Palace disciples to be somewhat restrained and not dare to go too far.

If it weren't for Cheng Tianhao… they would be even more miserable in Rapid Shadow Palace!

This also made them harbor great resentment towards these Rapid Shadow Palace disciples.

Now, seeing that another Rapid Shadow Palace disciple had come to cause trouble for them.

These Red Tiger Sect disciples immediately rolled up their sleeves, eager to teach this Rapid Shadow Palace disciple a severe lesson.

Boom!

With a huge roar.

Xiong Chang’s body was sent flying back repeatedly by the impact.

Each step left deep footprints on the ground.

His eyes were filled with horror.

The more he fought, the more his heart trembled.

Although the opponent was also a First Blood Blood Martial Realm martial artist like him, Xiong Chang felt that this person's Natal Martial Blood was like True Blood.

“This… how is this possible!!”

In Xiong Chang’s opinion.

Even if a new Blood Martial Realm martial artist appeared in the Red Tiger Sect.

Their Natal Martial Blood would only be a few dozen generations of Mortal Blood.

However, the opponent’s Natal Martial Blood was unexpectedly powerful.

Completely suppressing him.

Even if he was superior to the opponent in terms of moves and combat techniques, he still couldn't gain an advantage.

The more he fought, the more difficult it became.

This filled Xiong Chang’s heart with incomparable horror.

He knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely lose.

Without any hesitation.

He decisively turned and fled.

Bang!

Xiong Chang felt a pain in his back.

While fleeing, he was directly kicked in the back by a Red Tiger Sect disciple, who disregarded martial ethics, sending his entire body flying.

He scraped a long mark on the ground.

And heavily crashed onto the ground.

The many Red Tiger Sect disciples who witnessed all this burst into laughter.

Xiong Chang’s eyes were bloodshot!

As a disciple of the Rapid Shadow Palace’s Third Elder, when had he ever suffered such humiliation within the Rapid Shadow Palace?

However, he was inferior in skill.

Even if his heart was burning with anger, he couldn't show any temper.

He could only grit his teeth.

And quickly flee like a stray dog.

The Red Tiger Sect disciples were about to pursue.

But were called back by their sect leader, Guo Chengdao.

Guo Chengdao had witnessed the entire process.

He did not stop them.

He knew that the Red Tiger Sect disciples harbored resentment and needed an outlet.

He himself also harbored resentment!

However, having been in Rapid Shadow Palace for so long, he could still tell that this person was different from ordinary Rapid Shadow Palace disciples.

Guo Chengdao did not hesitate.

He directly chose to go find Cheng Tianhao.

Xiong Chang ran all the way.

Returning to Sword Shadow City at the fastest speed.

Everyone who knew him along the way showed surprised expressions.

They had never seen Xiong Chang in such a sorry state.

They all wondered what he had experienced.

When Xiong Chang arrived before his master.

“Hmm?”

Even the Third Elder, Luo Jun, was stunned.

His other two disciples also looked bewildered.

“Junior Brother Xiong, what is this…”

Xiong Chang only felt his face burning.

He gnashed his teeth and said with hatred.

“The Red Tiger Sect has a Blood Martial Realm martial artist who is suspected to be True Blood. After exchanging blows with him, I was no match for him!”

Luo Jun immediately frowned.

“You mean… you went to the Red Tiger Sect to demand someone, and they dared to resist?”

“More than just resisting!”

“This Red Tiger Sect is extremely arrogant, claiming territory in Tree Shadow City, saying that I entered their Red Tiger Sect’s area without their sect leader’s permission and wanted to kick me out!”

Xiong Chang said sharply.

“Arrogant!”

“Is this Red Tiger Sect seeking death?!”

Luo Jun’s two disciples immediately became furious.

At the same time, they cupped their fists towards Luo Jun and said.

“Please give the order, Master, and let us go exterminate this Red Tiger Sect!”

Luo Jun frowned slightly.

The scene of bringing the Red Tiger Sect to Tian Dou Province flashed through his mind.

At that time, the Red Tiger Sect regarded them as gods, as insignificant as ants.

Now they dared to claim territory in Tree Shadow City?

This was very unreasonable.

Even if the Red Tiger Sect had produced a Blood Martial Realm martial artist, and its overall strength had increased, a single Blood Martial Realm martial artist was nothing before the vast Rapid Shadow Palace.

What gave them the courage to claim territory in Tree Shadow City?

What gave them the audacity to send his disciple back with such a strong stance?

What was their confidence?

In his contemplation, Luo Jun gradually realized.

There must be… some information he didn’t know about.

“Interesting.”

He smiled.

“You three, come with me personally. I am growing more and more interested in this Red Tiger Sect.”

...“That’s how it is.”

Guo Chengdao told Cheng Tianhao everything that had happened earlier.

Ever since their Red Tiger Sect arrived in Tree Shadow City, they had always received care from Cheng Tianhao.

Previously, the Red Tiger Sect’s Old Ancestor also stated that Cheng Tianhao was a trustworthy person.

Cheng Tianhao frowned upon hearing this.

“If I’m not mistaken, the person you drove away is Xiong Chang, a disciple of the Third Elder, Luo Jun.”

“Elder’s disciple?”

Guo Chengdao was startled.

He had anticipated that the person’s identity would not be that of an ordinary disciple.

But he hadn't expected the other party to be an Elder’s disciple.

“He’s the Elder who brought you from Seven Stars Province to Tian Dou Province,”

Cheng Tianhao added.

Guo Chengdao’s expression immediately changed drastically.

The Elder who had brought them to Tian Dou Province had left an indelible impression in his heart.

At that time, in his eyes… the other party was like a god.

An unattainable existence!

Even though their Red Tiger Sect was no longer what it once was.

But after learning that they had provoked this Elder, Guo Chengdao’s heart was still uneasy.

“This matter must be some misunderstanding. With me stepping forward, I believe Elder Luo will also give me some face, so there’s no need to worry.”

Cheng Tianhao comforted him a few times.

As the most outstanding and prominent junior in the Rapid Shadow Palace currently.

He was highly valued.

Moreover, this matter was just a minor skirmish, with no injuries or loss of life, so it wouldn't be difficult to handle.

This also made Guo Chengdao breathe a sigh of relief.

They went together to the Red Tiger Sect’s area.

Just as they were about to go clarify the matter with Elder Luo.

They suddenly saw.

Elder Luo’s three disciples angrily coming to their doorstep.

Among them, Xiong Chang gnashed his teeth, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.

The other two disciples of Elder Luo were also seething with murderous intent.

As they approached.

They also saw Cheng Tianhao next to Guo Chengdao.

They frowned.

“Three Senior Brothers, this is a misunderstanding. I hope the three of you can give me some face and be lenient. I will offer satisfactory items as compensation.”

Cheng Tianhao said to the three with a pleasant expression.

In fact, with his current status.

He was already completely above the three of them.

Referring to them as Senior Brothers now showed great respect, lowering his own posture considerably.

Facing Cheng Tianhao.

Elder Luo’s three disciples also found it difficult to make trouble.

They returned a bow, suppressing their anger.

“Steward Cheng, please don’t interfere in this matter. This Red Tiger Sect is lawless, so arrogant they dare to claim territory in Tree Shadow City. Today, I will make them bleed rivers of blood!”

Xiong Chang said through gritted teeth.

“It’s not that serious, not that serious.”

Cheng Tianhao said with a smile, waving his hand.

“The Red Tiger Sect has some ties with me, so please, for my sake…”

“Steward Cheng, we are determined to destroy this Red Tiger Sect. You don’t need to play peacemaker here,”

Another disciple of Luo Jun shook his head and said.

The smile on Cheng Tianhao’s face gradually faded, replaced by cold sternness, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

Giving face but not accepting it!

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll tell you clearly.”

“The Red Tiger Sect… I will protect it!”

“You want the Red Tiger Sect to bleed rivers of blood? Try it?”

Cheng Tianhao glared at the three.

He exuded an aura and pressure of a superior.

Under his cold gaze.

Luo Jun’s three disciples felt a powerful oppressive force wash over them, unconsciously taking a step back, their eyes revealing hesitation and fear.
