There was no need to continue relying on the Swift Shadow Palace. Unfortunately, for some reason that Xiao Shi did not know, the Ancient Cang’e Tree was extremely weak now. It was not enough for him to rely on the Ancient Cang’e Tree to become independent in the Tiandou Province.

Still, with a powerful existence like the Ancient Cang’e Tree, Xiao Shi could stand steadily in the Swift Shadow Palace. As he became the owner of the Ancient Cang’e Tree, Xiao Shi could even teleport in the ancient tree.

He only needed a thought and he could head to any place in the ancient tree. At the same time, he could casually mobilize all the power of the ancient tree. This made Xiao Shi think that even if a Blood Martial Realm martial artist entered the ancient tree, he could easily kill him.

To a certain extent, he was an invincible existence in this ancient tree. Unless it was a martial artist whose strength was stronger than the Ancient Cang’e Tree, or someone whose strength was very close to the Ancient Cang’e Tree.

As long as a martial artist’s strength was lower than the Ancient Cang’e Tree, Xiao Shi could easily play them to death once they entered the ancient tree.

Swoosh!

Xiao Shi had a thought. He disappeared from the core of the ancient tree. He appeared in an unfamiliar area.

…..
This area was the area where the coffin was. It was also the most hidden area inside the ancient tree. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for anyone who entered the ancient tree to find this area.

Only someone like Xiao Shi, who had become the owner of the ancient tree, could directly descend into this hidden area through the transmission of his thoughts.

As soon as he arrived, Xiao Shi was surprised to see this area was actually filled with crystals. At first glance, there were countless crystals here. Moreover, these crystals were not of the same size.

Previously, what Xiao Shi had dropped through killing was only the smallest crystal. There were even bigger crystals here. Even though Xiao Shi had already expected that the crystals of the Ancient Cang’e Tree would definitely not only drop seven, there must be more.

He did not expect these crystals had actually increased to this extent. Numerous crystals covered the ground densely. It formed a huge, complicated, and profound array formation on the ground. The previous coffin was located on this array formation.

“What array formation is this?”

This was the first time Xiao Shi had seen such a huge array formation. Just the materials that formed this array formation were made of countless crystals.

They didn’t need to think to know that this array formation was definitely an extremely high-end array formation.

“Could it be that the weakness of the Ancient Cang’e Tree originated from this array formation?” Xiao Shi suddenly had a guess. After all, these crystals were extremely important to the Ancient Cang’e Tree. Now, it used all its crystals on this array formation. It would naturally be in a weak state.

This reminded Xiao Shi of the existence of the Ancient Cang’e Tree. It was to protect this mysterious coffin.

This array formation should be able to protect the mysterious coffin.

Xiao Shi had already walked into the array formation. Suddenly, his body suddenly trembled. An extremely strong desire instantly spread out from his body. However, this desire did not come from the coffin in his body.

It originated from the Red Tiger Totem!

The pattern representing the Red Tiger Totem on Xiao Shi’s back emitted an incomparably intense light. The pattern seemed to have a life of its own as it squirmed, as if it wanted to come alive from Xiao Shi’s body.

At the same time, the Red Tiger Totem crazily sent a thought to Xiao Shi. “This array formation can restore the Red Tiger Totem.” After sensing the will transmitted by the Red Tiger Totem, Xiao Shi’s eyes gradually widened. His eyes were filled with incomparable excitement and ecstasy.

The Red Tiger Totem was the most important item of the Red Tiger Sect. Originally, it had been nurtured under Golden Cloud City. However, as the Seven Star Province fell, the Red Tiger Sect had no choice but to stop the nurturing of the Red Tiger Totem and take it away.

After the Red Tiger Totem parasitized Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi had also been looking for a way to nurture the Red Tiger Totem. Unfortunately, among the many items he dropped, there was no item that could nurture the Red Tiger Totem. At most, he could only rely on his Lunar Qi Force to nourish it.

However, this nourishment method was far inferior to one-ten-thousandth of the nurturing from the array formation. It was unrealistic to rely on the nourishment of the Lunar Qi Force to recover the red tiger totem.

Unexpectedly, there was actually an array formation that could nurture the Red Tiger Totem inside the Ancient Cang’e Tree. Moreover, this array formation was far more high-end than the array formation under Golden Cloud City. It would have an even more outstanding nurturing effect.

This made Xiao Shi very excited.

Although he could also choose to place the coffin here and let it continue to enjoy the nourishment of this array formation, compared to this coffin, the effect and improvement of the Red Tiger Totem would be even greater.

“However, if I want to nurture the Red Tiger Totem here, 1 need to temporarily strip the Red Tiger Totem from my body.” Xiao Shi was deep in thought. After all, it was impossible for him to stay here with the Red Tiger Totem and not go anywhere.

If he wanted to nurture the Red Tiger Totem, he had to leave it here. Now that he had become the owner of the Ancient Cang’e Tree, even if he left the Red Tiger Totem here, he did not have to worry about any accidents.

After all, the entire Ancient Cang’e Tree was under his control.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Shi decisively chose to peel the Red Tiger Totem off his body first.

Buzz!

With a thought, the Red Tiger totem on his back immediately turned into a scarlet light that left his body and appeared in the array formation.

Xiao Shi could clearly see that the Red Tiger Totem that appeared in the array formation was immediately nourished by the array formation. The light emitted by the Red Tiger Totem became even more dazzling.

Although he had stripped the Red Tiger Totem from his body, Xiao Shi only needed a thought to allow the Red Tiger Totem to return to his body. “I’ll let the Red Tiger Totem nurture here for the time being.”

Xiao Shi knew that he could only wait for the Red Tiger Totem to recover. Only then could he obtain a greater improvement. Furthermore, the Red Tiger Totem was related to a higher level secret of the Red Tiger Sect.

It is of great importance.

“Next, it’s my turn to improve!” Xiao Shi’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Many of the high-quality items he had obtained through killing previously could increase his strength. Now, he began to plan to increase his strength to the extreme before leaving through these items.

Whoosh!

Xiao Shi first took out the Vortex Star! This rare treasure that could open 33 Qi vortexes had once shocked him greatly. Although there was only one Qi vortex left in his body, the activation of the last Qi vortex was even more difficult than the previous 99 Qi vortexes.

“With the effect of this Vortex Star, it should be enough to open the last Qi vortex, right?” Xiao Shi took a deep breath.

This Vortex Star was an aura material that looked like a star. After absorbing it, Xiao Shi instantly felt the mysterious aura that filled his body. Under the effect of this aura, the last Qi Lock in Xiao Shi’s body immediately vibrated.

These auras continuously gathered towards the Qi Lock and condensed on the last Qi Lock in Xiao Shi’s body in a vortex, causing the entire Qi Lock to tremble and spread a crack.

“It’s effective!” Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. One had to know that the Qi Lock did not even move when he used the Lunar Qi to attack the Qi Lock. It was already very good to have such an effect now.

Immediately, under the effect of this aura, more and more cracks appeared on the entire air lock. In an instant, the Qi Lock was covered in countless cracks. He was just short of the last thread. He could break through this Qi Lock and complete the final activation of the Qi vortex.

“The last bit?” Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes..
