Chapter 2563: Invitation to the Empty Seat Banquet

After saying goodbye to God Emperor, Su Xiao returned to the exclusive room. The benefits of long-term trading with God Emperor were reflected at this time. The other party had a high probability of obtaining 【Basic Passive Scroll】. This was no longer a question of whether it was expensive or not, but that it was too hard to buy.

Sitting on the bed in the exclusive room, Su Xiao took a gem from his arms. This gem was cyan all over and was called 【Wolf Soul Stone】.

Trying to check the attributes of 【Wolf Soul Stone】, a prompt appeared.

【This Saint Spirit-class gem is undergoing transformation, cannot view data.】

After Su Xiao obtained this gem, he didn't know what type of gem it was until now, and could only continue to wait.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, meaning that the leaves and branches of the Black Maple Tree had been organized, and whether to cut some new branches and leaves.

"These are enough, it depends on the situation at the Empty Seat Banquet."

Su Xiao tossed the World Core (Fragment) to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, letting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang insert this thing into the soil near the Black Maple Tree, at least a few meters away from the Black Maple Tree, to try if it helped the growth of the Black Maple Tree.

The Empty Seat Banquet was just around the corner, so Su Xiao naturally had to prepare. His chips this time were the branches and leaves of the Black Maple Tree.

Among the members of the Starry Sky Seat, the Sword Demon had a Black Maple Tree. That Black Maple Tree was 27.54 meters tall, the tallest Black Maple Tree known in the Void, three meters taller than the one in the Arcane Eternal Star.

If the Sword Demon brought a large section of the Black Maple Tree to participate in the Empty Seat Banquet, the benefits Su Xiao could obtain would be very limited.

But a long time ago, Marven Waltz had passed a message to Su Xiao, telling Su Xiao to use the Black Maple Tree as a chip to raise the price as much as possible.

Marven Waltz was indeed an unscrupulous mentor, but he had never lied to Su Xiao. Moreover, he knew that the Sword Demon was also a member of the Starry Sky Seat, so he must have thought of some way to prevent the Sword Demon from bringing Black Maple Tree products to the Empty Seat Banquet.

In this way, as the exclusive producer of the Black Maple Tree for this Empty Seat Banquet, the output held by Su Xiao could be raised to a higher price.

Actually, Su Xiao wanted to know more about whether the Sword Demon would directly draw his sword and slash at him after meeting. If that was the case, wouldn't he be going to his death?

The possibility of this situation was very low. If it could be robbed openly, Su Xiao doubted that the Sword Demon would have been expelled from the Starry Sky Seat long ago.

Assuming the members of the Starry Sky Seat were all trustworthy, Su Xiao could take out another chip, which was his alchemy.

The Tree Sage was a renowned alchemist in the Void. Su Xiao believed that with his current level of alchemy, he could obtain a higher status in the Starry Sky Seat than ordinary members.

At that time, if the members of the Starry Sky Seat needed to order alchemy potions or alchemy items, let them bring their own alchemy formulas and materials, and Su Xiao would only charge for production. Not only could he obtain a huge benefit, but he could also get many formulas, killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, Su Xiao didn't think the Sword Demon was as legendary as people said, completely without reason. If that were really the case, the possibility of the other party joining the Empty Seat Banquet wouldn't be high. The Sword Demon was likely just not very clear-headed, sometimes killing living things wantonly, or perhaps the Sword Demon would occasionally be clear-headed for a period of time.

Assuming the Sword Demon came to order alchemy potions or alchemy items, he would directly refuse. Until now, Su Xiao didn't know why the other party wanted to kill him.

Not thinking about these for now, no matter what, the Empty Seat Banquet was an opportunity. Whether he could completely rise in the Seventh Tier and pave the way for becoming stronger depended on this time.

Walking into the alchemy laboratory, Su Xiao started exchanging materials and blending 【Ocean Stock Solution】. After five bottles of 【Ocean Stock Solution】 were blended, he took out the Alchemy Secret Code and turned to the second page, staring at the mysterious eye on it to improve the strength and toughness of his mental power, striving to turn to the second page as soon as possible.

After staring at the mysterious eye for half an hour, Su Xiao came to the bed and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

In a blur, Su Xiao saw blue light. As his vision zoomed in, these blue lights became clearer. Finally, he discovered that this was his unscrupulous mentor, Marven Waltz.

"Sword Demon, that side... you bring..."

"What?"

"Can... hear me... what kind of broken..."

Marven Waltz's voice was intermittent and finally disappeared.

Su Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. After getting up, he sat on the bed in a daze. He seemed to have seen Marven Waltz just now.

While thinking, Su Xiao got out of bed in a daze and walked toward the bathroom. Along the way, he seemed to have stepped on two furry stick-like objects, one thick and one thin.

"Meow!"

Benny, who had her tail stepped on, jumped up. The next moment.

"Woo howl!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also sat up, having his tail stepped on as well. Seeing this scene, Benny felt balanced in her heart.

After Su Xiao washed up, he felt refreshed. With his current mental state, it was most appropriate to go to the Land of All Living Things to develop 'Secret Skill·Heavenly Flow'. When this ability was successfully developed, selling 'Secret Skill·Heavenly Flow' would be a huge gain.

Twenty minutes later, in the trial field.

【Land of All Living Things·Fifth Floor has been opened, consuming 3 Soul Coins per hour.】

In the wind and snow, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on a frozen rock. There were seven floors in the Land of All Living Things, and the authority for the sixth floor was never obtained, and it was unknown how to obtain it.

Taking out the scroll of 【Secret Skill·Heavenly Flow】 from his arms, Su Xiao opened the scroll. On it were written Tianba tribe characters the size of rice grains, as well as several strangely shaped patterns.

After a preliminary check, Su Xiao learned that 【Secret Skill·Heavenly Flow】 was not a sword art move inclined toward water characteristics, but inclined toward the swiftness and sharpness of wind, and had a sense of elegance.

What Su Xiao had to do was not complete imitation. If he had that time, he might as well use the 【Secret Skill·Heavenly Flow】 scroll directly and use the saved time to fight in the Tree Arena.

"Heavenly Flow, the rhythm of airflow."

Su Xiao frowned. He understood the content recorded on it in a few minutes, but it would take time to experience that unique charm.

【Secret Skill·Heavenly Flow】 is not a sword art move slashed with a specific posture. That kind of sword art move was eliminated in the Fourth Tier. The more important thing about sword art moves is the charm.

The flow of wind and the sharpness of the blade are the core content of 【Secret Skill·Heavenly Flow】. It seems simple, but it is actually extremely difficult. To find that feeling, one has to grope bit by bit.

Standing up from the frozen rock, Su Xiao drew the long sword from his waist and closed his eyes to sense the surrounding wind and snow.

Clang.

A semi-circular slash appeared, but it dissipated before flying far. First, he had to find that charm, and then develop a sword art more suitable for himself based on his own feelings.

The bitter cultivation began. Sometimes Su Xiao would slash once every few minutes, and sometimes he would sit on the frozen rock for hours without moving. Only his slow breathing proved he was still alive. Strength requires a price; sometimes it is danger, and sometimes it is boring cultivation.

54 hours later, Su Xiao left the Land of All Living Things and returned to the real world half an hour early.

Real world, second floor of the accessory shop.

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the floor, the Tang Hong long sword placed flat on his legs, his hand slowly raised.

Clang.

A semi-transparent slash appeared in the air in front of him, not disappearing directly, but remaining still in mid-air.

"Still not working?"

Su Xiao sheathed the Tang Hong. New moves were not so easy to develop. He had anticipated this long ago.

After going downstairs to open the shop, with nothing to do, Su Xiao started playing puzzle games. He was waiting, waiting for the invitation from the Starry Sky Seat.

This wait lasted for two days. Su Xiao even temporarily postponed entering the new world. This was the benefit of being promoted to a high tier; he could delay, but he couldn't avoid entering the new world.

On the morning of the third day after returning to the real world, an inexplicable induction came from the storage space. A black card was slowly rotating in the storage space. The invitation to the Empty Seat Banquet had arrived.

There was half an hour left for the stay in Reincarnation Paradise, so Su Xiao chose to return to Reincarnation Paradise temporarily.

The spatial fluctuation dissipated, and Su Xiao appeared in the exclusive room. Just at this moment, the black card suddenly appeared in front of him, forming a black vortex while rotating rapidly. The vortex expanded rapidly, forming a pitch-black space channel, pitch-black as ink inside, even with a sticky touch.

【Hint: Detected that the Hunter is about to arrive in the Void.】

【The Hunter attempts to temporarily postpone the entry time of the new world. Because the Hunter has hunted high-risk·violators many times, this authority has been passed.】

【Checking the area the Hunter is about to arrive in...】

【Check complete, whether to permanently consume Lv. 5 Hunter authority to seal this area for a certain period of time, the sealing intensity is Seventh Tier. After successful sealing, units above Seventh Tier will not be able to enter this area, lasting 48 hours.】 ===== CHAPTER 2564 =====
