Chapter 226 - 226: Investigating the Blood Martial Realm (1)
After learning much relevant information about the Heavenly Mystery Palace from Wu Muzhen, Xiao Shi did not look for the other members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
According to what he knew, the Heavenly Mystery Palace was very special and powerful, however, at this stage, they could only communicate and meet with members of the same region. Many functions had yet to be activated.
Xiao Shi thought that he might be able to use the Heavenly Mystery Palace as a special information place. If he needed to investigate any information, he could enter the Heavenly Mystery Palace. Then, he could obtain relevant information from the members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
For example, not only did Xiao Shi understand a lot of relevant information about the Heavenly Mystery Palace from Wu Muzhen, but he also had a lot of understanding of the situation in the entire Xingluo Territory.
Although Xiao Shi did not know Wu Muzhen’s identity in reality, after talking to Wu Muzhen, he had already realized that the other party’s strength and cultivation were definitely far above his. After all, Wu Muzhen had joined the Heavenly Mystery Palace hundreds of years ago. He was a martial artist who had lived for hundreds of years!
When a martial artist reached the Blood Martial Realm, their lifespan could be as high as 500 years. However, in such a chaotic world, even if one had enough lifespan, there were very few people who could die of old age.
Without a certain level of ability, it was definitely impossible to survive for hundreds of years. Not only that, the levels related to the Xingluo Territory that Wu Muzhen mentioned were also levels that Xiao Shi could not come into contact with yet.
This made Xiao Shi realize that the other party’s strength and cultivation were far above his.
In addition, Xiao Shi also paid attention to another problem. And that was, how could ordinary people join the Heavenly Mystery Palace?
Although Xiao Shi was now the Palace Master, he did not know how to get others to join the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
According to Wu Muzhen, when he joined the Heavenly Mystery Palace back then, there were no signs beforehand. A mask directly appeared on his face. Then, he successfully joined the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
“As far as I know, if you want to join the Heavenly Mystery Palace, you have to meet certain conditions. Only by meeting the conditions will you have a chance of being chosen by the Heavenly Mystery Palace. Furthermore, I heard that whether or not one can join the Heavenly Mystery Palace is not decided by the Palace Master, but by the Heavenly Mystery Palace itself.”
Xiao Shi was deep in thought. It was no wonder he didn’t have the ability to choose members despite being the palace master. Of course, what Wu Muzhen knew might not be true.
After all, Wu Muzhen was only an ordinary member of the Heavenly Mystery Palace and did not know much. Xiao Shi still had to verify everything himself. Right now, what he needed to focus on dealing with was mainly the experts from the various factions who had gathered in Tiandou Province.
Xiao Shi learned from Wu Muzhen that many experts from the Xingluo Province had come to Tiandou Province.
Although Xiao Shi now had the Martial Emperor’s Mask that could hide all his aura, he knew that he could not underestimate them too much. One had to know that the powerhouses who came to Tiandou Province were not simple.
After Xiao Shi understood a lot about Wu Muzhen, he did not continue to stay in the Heavenly Mystery Palace for long and left first. His entire soul returned to his main body. He began to make final preparations before leaving Five Shadows City.
As for Wu Mu Zhen, he was very excited about this meeting with the Palace Master. Even though he did not obtain any substantial benefits from this Palace Master, he knew very well that he had successfully hooked up with the Palace Master.
In the future, as long as he continued to help the Palace Master, as the Heavenly Mystery Palace developed, his benefits would only increase.
Such an opportunity was one that countless members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace could not obtain. Now, Wu Muzhen was definitely one who did not want anything to happen to Xiao Shi more than anyone else.
As long as Xiao Shi did not die and could continue to be the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, he would definitely have many benefits in the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
This made Wu Muzhen think for a moment. He gritted his teeth. He decided to head to Tiandou Province immediately to protect the Palace Master.
Due to the special situation here, it was difficult for him to leave Xingluo Province under normal circumstances. This was also the main reason why he did not rush over immediately when he found out that the new palace master was born in Tiandou Province.
But now, he couldn’t care less. He had to protect the Palace Master at all costs.
“I’ll fight whoever dares to have designs on the Palace Master!!” Wu Muzhen’s eyes flickered with fire.
Soon, Cheng Tianhao arranged a reason for Xiao Shi to leave Five Shadows City. According to the rules of the Swift Shadow Palace, if the disciples of the Swift Shadow Palace wanted to leave the Five Shadows City, they had to ask the sect for permission. Only with the permission of the sect could they leave the Five Shadows City.
Although Xiao Shi’s identity in the Swift Shadow Palace was only Cheng Tianhao’s guard, after he stepped into the Blood Martial Realm with the blood source of the Blood Beast, he naturally received the attention of the Swift Shadow Palace.
After all, he was at the True Blood Martial Realm! If he applied to the sect through normal means, it would definitely be very difficult to obtain the sect’s permission. The Swift Shadow Palace would not allow a True Blood Martial Realm martial artist to take risks outside.
Once he died outside, this would be an incomparably huge loss to the entire Swift Shadow Palace.
Fortunately, with Cheng Tianhao’s current status in the Swift Shadow Palace, it was very difficult for the sect to reject him when he expressed to the sect that he wanted Xiao Shi to go out and carry out a mission for him..
