The moment the crack appeared, the tall and burly Meng Que took the lead and stepped into the crack with four hand guards, disappearing without a trace. The young girl Lin Ying followed closely behind.
Cheng Tianhao gestured to everyone with his eyes. He also stepped into the crack. The moment he entered the crack, a light swept over. After touching Xiao Shi’s body, Xiao Shi immediately felt a huge suction force, and his body flew towards the light uncontrollably.
This light did not look big outside. However, now that he felt it personally, it was like a vast sea of light.
Under this suction force, he saw incomparably huge spheres at the end of the sea of light. There were many such spheres as far as the eye could see.
Xiao Shi vaguely saw that the others had also appeared outside different spheres like him and were quickly devoured by these spheres.
Xiao Shi’s vision blurred. When everything became clear, he found himself in an unfamiliar world. The sky here was dark green. It was like a vast and huge leaf had become the sky of this world. The ground was still filled with indescribably thick tree roots. However, he no longer felt like he was standing on the Primordial Beast. The pressure was much less.
At this moment, they had already entered the ancient tree. However, apart from the five of them, there was no one else here. It was as if the location where the others appeared after entering was different from them.
…..
Cheng Tianhao closed his eyes. He began to feel the rules of this place. The five Echelon contenders could sense the rules after entering this place. Soon, he understood the rules here. He seemed to be in deep thought. “Brother Nie.” He turned to look at Xiao Shi. “According to the previous promise, I’ll give you the Shadow Seed first.”
According to the conditions he had agreed to Xiao Shi, when he entered the ancient tree, he would first hand the Shadow Seed to Xiao Shi.
As he spoke, a black bead appeared in Cheng Tianhao’s hand. The entire bead was only the size of a fingernail. It was completely black. There was a faint luster.
It was the Shadow Seed!
The moment Cheng Tianhao took out this shadow seed, the few hand guards beside him were all staring fixedly at the bead, their eyes burning.
They all had an extremely strong desire for Shadow Seed. However, it was extremely difficult to form a shadow seed. Not to mention the entire Tree Shadow City, even in the entire Swift Shadow Palace, there were not many people who could form a Shadow Seed.
Usually, just the value of the Shadow Comprehension Talisman that could comprehend the Shadow Seed was already extremely shocking.
Not to mention the Shadow Seed itself.
They were extremely envious that Xiao Shi could obtain a Shadow Seed from Cheng Tianhao. Although they were also at the top of the various rankings in Tree Shadow City, the value and meaning of the rankings they were on were far inferior to Xiao Shi’s Tree Spirit Killing List.
Naturally, it was impossible to obtain such treatment.
Xiao Shi took the Shadow Seed from Cheng Tianhao.
Although he knew the shocking value of the Shadow Seed, his understanding of Shadow Seeds was still limited. He did not know the exact usage.
At this moment, Cheng Tianhao took out another jade slip. He handed this jade slip to Xiao Shi. The jade slip contained a detailed introduction of the Shadow Seed. The Shadow Seed was a powerful ability unique to the Swift Shadow Palace.
Although there were many ways to form a Shadow Seed, the one with the greatest hope of success was still to cultivate the designated cultivation technique of the Swift Shadow Palace. Apart from being able to use the Shadow Seed for oneself, one could also choose to give the Shadow Seed to others.
However, not many people had done this in the past.
This was because most people who formed a Shadow Seed could only form a Shadow Seed once in their lives.
There were very few people who could form more than twice. This also led to many people who yearned for Shadow Seeds. Even if they wanted to exchange treasures of the same value for Shadow Seeds, it was very difficult to exchange for them.
According to the information in the jade slip, the key to mastering this Shadow Seed was mainly to refine it.
Making it into a part of the body through a special refinement method, just like turning it into an organ in the body.
Coincidentally, this refinement method was recorded in the jade slip.
This also made Xiao Shi realize this jade slip clearly had extraordinary value. After all, this refinement method was not something that could be obtained casually.
Xiao Shi immediately followed this refinement method. He refined the shadow seed in his hand. Under his refinement, the entire shadow seed turned into fine light fragments and entered his body. At the same time that it became a part of his body, a shadow appeared behind Xiao Shi.
However, this shadow that appeared was not his own shadow.
It was the shadow of a tree! However, from the size of this tree shadow, it seemed to be only a small sapling.
Xiao Shi looked at the tree shadow on the ground strangely. He felt that this tree shadow was like his hands and feet. He could control it according to his thoughts. At the same time, this tree shadow seemed to be able to inherit all his strength.
If it was used in battle, to a certain extent, it was like two of them attacking at the same time.
Most importantly, the tree shadow would continue to grow. The tree shadow formed by Xiao Shi was only at the initial stage and was the weakest. As it grew, it would continue to become stronger.
“Usually, people with tree shadows won’t be much different in the initial stages. However, as the tree shadows are nurtured, there will be many different development paths..”
