386: Reshape Treasure

However, Xiao Shi did not ask Heavenly King Yao Xi this question.

He could vaguely sense it.

The fall of the Martial Emperor… perhaps involved the deepest secrets of the Tianwu Continent!

Even Heavenly King Yao Xi might not know.

And with his current strength and cultivation, it was even more impossible for him to access such deep-seated secrets.

Now that he knew the establishment of a Dynasty required numerous conditions, Xiao Shi could temporarily stop worrying about these three Demigod Heavenly Kings being able to establish a new Dynasty.

Before a supreme expert of the Martial Dao Ninth Realm was born among them.

None of them could establish a new Dynasty.

At the same time, whether it was the establishment of a new Dynasty or breaking through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm, basically only one of the three of them could achieve it.

Xiao Shi knew without thinking.

Next, there would inevitably be a fierce struggle between the three Demigod Heavenly Kings.

However, Xiao Shi's current situation was not absolutely safe.

Both the Fifth Domain he governed and the Great Wu Dynasty's destiny in his hands would cause these Demigod Heavenly Kings, as soon as they broke through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm, to target him, making him their primary objective.

It could only be said that before these three Demigod Heavenly Kings broke through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm, Xiao Shi had some time to buffer and develop.

And he had to reach the Martial Dao Ninth Realm faster than them before these three Demigod Heavenly Kings broke through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm.

Otherwise, the moment one of them reached the Martial Dao Ninth Realm.

It would inevitably be Xiao Shi's death.

"To reach the Martial Dao Ninth Realm faster than them… it feels quite difficult!"

Xiao Shi felt immense pressure.

Even if he was good at overtaking on a curve, it was truly difficult to surpass them given his significantly lower cultivation Realm.

Especially the further one progressed in Martial Dao.

The difficulty of advancing between each Realm increased significantly.

However, the unique nature of the Martial Dao Ninth Realm gave Xiao Shi a glimmer of hope.

After all, the method of breaking through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm was not fixed, but depended on each martial artist's individual circumstances.

Naturally, the speed at which each person broke through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm would also vary.

If his speed in breaking through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm could be faster than the three Demigods… then as long as he could become a Demigod as quickly as possible, theoretically, there was a possibility of overtaking on a curve!

Especially since these three Demigods would also be wary of each other, preventing one from breaking through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm faster than the others, they would certainly restrain each other, thereby greatly reducing their breakthrough speed.

This was also an opportunity for Xiao Shi.

His greatest advantage now.

Was that these three Demigod Heavenly Kings all looked down on him, no one thought he posed a threat, and disdained to target or suppress him.

This would give him enough time to develop.

Of course.

Even if these three Demigod Heavenly Kings wanted to target him, there wasn't a very good way.

Xiao Shi only needed to stay within his Realm and not Go out.

These three Demigod Heavenly Kings could only watch, unable to do anything.

"Currently, I need to Grasping the Dao as quickly as possible, and thereby instantly become a Dao Lord."

Thinking of this.

After leaving Heavenly Secret City, Xiao Shi immediately found Xiang Zizhen.

He told Xiang Zizhen all the information about the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao.

Letting Xiang Zizhen decide whether he needed to Palm the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao.

If Xiang Zizhen was unwilling, Xiao Shi would not force him.

However, Xiang Zizhen was not only not unwilling, but felt incomparably excited and ecstatic.

Before this.

He had never imagined that one day he could ascend to Dao Lord Level.

He had always felt that the Saint Realm was already the end and culmination of his Martial Dao.

Now, knowing there was an opportunity to become a Dao Lord.

He was overjoyed.

Even if the Dao Lord formed by the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao was different from a normal Dao Lord, and its combat power could not reach the level a normal Dao Lord should possess.

But such an opportunity… was already what Xiang Zizhen dreamed of!

He knew very well.

Becoming a Dao Lord through the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao would at most only mean a deficiency in combat power.

But the benefits brought by the Dao Lord Level were not just an increase in combat power.

Most importantly, it allowed one to step from the Middle Three Realms of Martial Dao directly into the Upper Three Realms of Martial Dao.

Whether it was the life essence or lifespan, there would be earth-shattering changes and improvements.

Such an opportunity.

For the vast majority of Saints, there would be no hesitation.

Only an anomaly like Xiao Shi, who possessed immense potential and was the strongest in every Realm, would not choose to become a Dao Lord through such a Dao that would not bring any increase in combat power.

In the eyes of ordinary Saints.

As long as there was an opportunity to become a Dao Lord, no matter what kind of Dao it was, they would certainly strive with all their might to seize it!

This was also one of the biggest differences between Xiao Shi and these Saints.

Xiao Shi had the ability to choose the Dao he wanted.

But Xiang Zizhen and these Saints had no choice or right.

When a "Dao" appeared before them, regardless of whether this Dao was suitable for them or whether it was powerful, they would fight with all their might to seize it!

Because this was their only chance to become a Dao Lord.

That very day.

Xiao Shi handed the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao to Xiang Zizhen.

As one of the only two Dao Lord Level items in his possession.

If it were an ordinary person, Xiao Shi would certainly not hand it over so readily.

But for Xiang Zizhen, Xiao Shi had absolute trust.

When Xiang Zizhen obtained the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao, he began his breakthrough that very day.

To be precise.

The advancement of a Saint to a Dao Lord had a more accurate term… transcendence!

Usually, a Saint needed a considerable amount of time to Palm a Dao; the more powerful and advanced the Dao, the longer the time required.

Some Saints even needed hundreds of years, or even longer, to complete the Palm of a Dao.

Fortunately, as the only Dao in the world, the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao.

In addition to its inherent uniqueness, it also did not require too much time for its Palm.

At most, it would only take ten days for Xiang Zizhen to Palm the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao and thereby transcend to become a Dao Lord.

And during the period when Xiang Zizhen was Palming the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao.

Xiao Shi also pondered a crucial question.

That was, once Xiang Zizhen Palmed the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao and opened the Gate of Retrospection for him, and he entered The Primordial Martial Era through it, how would he continue to protect his Realm with the Nine Dragons Divine Sky Formation?

It was important to know.

The Nine Dragons Divine Sky Formation currently protecting his Realm was formed by the Martial Emperors Royal Robe on him.

During the formation of the Nine Dragons Divine Sky Formation, he had to constantly wear the Martial Emperors Royal Robe.

This meant he could not easily leave the Realm.

Once he left the Realm, he would definitely lose the protection of the Nine Dragons Divine Sky Formation.

And this trip to The Primordial Martial Era, he would certainly have to Go in person.

It was impossible to send a clone as before.

After all, this time he was going to Grasping the Dao.

His main body had to Go in person.

If he could not solve the safety issue of his Realm after entering The Primordial Martial Era, then he certainly could not Go.

For this.

Currently, Xiao Shi had only thought of one plan.

That was to leave the clone formed by the martial emperors cloak in the Realm, letting the clone constantly wear the Martial Emperors Royal Robe, thereby maintaining the operation of the Nine Dragons Divine Sky Formation.

However, this plan had two drawbacks.

First, after the clone formed by the martial emperors cloak died, it needed to wait thirty days before it could be formed again.

And currently, there were still nearly twenty days until the clone formed by the martial emperors cloak could be formed.

Subtracting the ten days required for Xiang Zizhen to Palm the Initial Martial Retrospection Dao.

He would still need to wait another ten days.

For Xiao Shi, who now wanted to achieve overtaking on a curve as quickly as possible, let alone ten days, he couldn't even wait a day.

Now, time was everything!

Second, the clone formed by the martial emperors cloak was a powerful means for Xiao Shi at the moment!

Especially the power of the clone's self-detonation.

Even a Dao Lord was annihilated!

Even if the Dao Lord annihilated at that time was in extremely poor condition.

But with the self-detonation power of the clone, even a Dao Lord in his prime would not dare to underestimate it.

If the clone was left inside the Realm, Xiao Shi would be missing a powerful means.

He felt that the most ideal situation was to bring the clone to The Primordial Martial Era.

After all, he didn't know what he would encounter in The Primordial Martial Era, or if there were dangers there?

If he lacked the powerful means of the clone formed by the martial emperors cloak, it would have some impact.

Xiao Shi felt that the most ideal situation was to bring the clone formed by the martial emperors cloak to The Primordial Martial Era as well, as this would be the most secure.

However, once there was no clone formed by the martial emperors cloak to wear the Martial Emperors Royal Robe, Xiao Shi's Realm would inevitably lose the protection of the Nine Dragons Divine Sky Formation.

At the same time, given the unique nature of the Martial Emperors Royal Robe.

Xiao Shi also could not let Xiang Zizhen or Wu Muzhen and others wear the Martial Emperors Royal Robe.

The Martial Emperors Royal Robe was destined to be worn only by Xiao Shi himself.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought about this.

If he really couldn't think of any other way.

Then he would have no choice but to let the clone formed by the martial emperors cloak wear the Martial Emperors Royal Robe.

"It seems I still have to start from the items…"

Xiao Shi thought seriously.

However, he currently did not have suitable items in his hands.

At the same time, he could not obtain corresponding Saint Grade items by hunting the Saints outside.

If the martial emperors cloak could form clones without limit, then he could hunt those lords outside through the clones.

Although these lords, after now belonging to the three Demigod Heavenly Kings, were all protected by the three Demigod Heavenly Kings.

Once Xiao Shi attacked them, the three Demigod Heavenly Kings would certainly intervene.

However, if Xiao Shi only used the space-travel of the heavens secret mask to launch a surprise attack… unless these three Demigod Heavenly Kings happened to be right beside them.

Otherwise, they would definitely not have time to intervene.

Moreover, even if the operation failed and the clone died.

Xiao Shi himself would not be too greatly affected.

It was just a pity that each time a clone died, it needed to wait thirty days before it could be formed again.

The method of sending clones out to hunt would definitely not work.

Thus.

If Xiao Shi wanted to acquire more items now.

Then there was only one way.

"Myriad Treasure Pagoda!"

Xiao Shi's heart stirred.

He went directly to the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

The Myriad Treasure Pagoda, as a Dao Lord Level supreme treasure.

Although Dao Lord Level items could not appear within the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, there were three Saint Grade treasures.

The fragment of the celestial compass back then was one of these three Saint Grade treasures.

Now, when Xiao Shi once again arrived at the eleventh floor of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

He immediately saw that among the three massive display stands on the eleventh floor of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, three Saint Grade treasures were placed respectively.

Ever since Xiao Shi exchanged for the fragment of the celestial compass.

The items in this display stand had always been empty.

After so many days.

Finally, new Saint Grade treasures appeared in it.

However, when Xiao Shi examined all three Saint Grade treasures.

He found that none of these three Saint Grade treasures could solve his current predicament.

Just as he frowned at this.

Suddenly.

Xiao Shi felt a wave emanate from the Myriad Treasure Pagoda Spirit in his mind.

Thereby causing the entire Myriad Treasure Pagoda to directly merge into Xiao Shi's body.

And instantly disappeared from the Realm.

Appearing directly in… Xiao Shi's Realm!

This greatly shocked Xiao Shi.

Although a long time ago.

He had already successfully merged with the Myriad Treasure Pagoda Spirit.

But the Myriad Treasure Pagoda itself had always been located within the Realm, never having been moved an inch.

Every time he entered the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, he did so through the Myriad Treasure Pagoda Spirit, in soul form.

However, the feeling he had now was that, perhaps due to the improvement of his own Realm, after he reached the Saint Realm, he could directly integrate the Myriad Treasure Pagoda into his Realm, making it a part of his own Realm!

Thus.

Xiao Shi would no longer need to enter the Myriad Treasure Pagoda in soul form in the future.

Not only that.

He could also open the Myriad Treasure Pagoda to the people within his Realm.

Allowing the people within his Realm to also exchange for treasures in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

And he himself no longer needed to exchange for the treasures within the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, but could directly take them!

In a sense.

He was now truly in control of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Making it his private possession.

"No…"

"It's still a bit short of complete control."

Xiao Shi shook his head.

The Myriad Treasure Pagoda was, after all, a Dao Lord Level supreme treasure.

Only by becoming a Dao Lord could one completely control it.

He now only possessed a partial Palm power over the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

This partial Palm power was mainly reflected in the exchange of items.

Firstly, he could unconditionally exchange for any item within it.

Secondly, he could open the Myriad Treasure Pagoda to the people within his Realm and redefine the exchange rules.

However, as a Dao Lord Level supreme treasure, the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Its function was clearly not as simple as just being able to exchange items.

Xiao Shi had a strong feeling about this.

When he became a Dao Lord and completely Palmed it.

Perhaps then the true power of this Dao Lord Level supreme treasure would be revealed!

As for the current stage.

The Myriad Treasure Pagoda could serve as a treasure trove-like entity within his Realm.

It could bring more improvements and development to the people within his Realm.

As long as he formulated new exchange rules.

Allowing these martial artists within the Realm to exchange for treasures suitable for themselves, he believed their strength would be further enhanced.

In addition to this.

As the Myriad Treasure Pagoda integrated into his Realm.

He also discovered… he possessed a powerful ability of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda—

Reshape Treasure!

This ability was extremely powerful.

It allowed him to reshape treasures below Dao Lord Level, which included reshaping Saint Grade treasures!

However, this reshaping carried certain risks and costs.

For example, if Xiao Shi wanted to reshape a Saint Grade treasure, and if the ability of the treasure after he reshaped it exceeded the Saint Realm, becoming an ability that a Saint could not possess, then the reshaping would fail, and the treasure would shatter with it!
