Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

Chapter 88: Making Trouble (Happy New Year!)

"Wow, the Xuan Domain is indeed prosperous! Every city here is bustling with activity."

Qi Shi'an looked at the shops lining both sides of the street, the endless shouts of buyers and sellers, and the overwhelming atmosphere of the world, and couldn't help but sigh.

This city is called Thousand Hands City. It is one of the five most prosperous megacities under the rule of the Western Church, where all kinds of creatures can be found.

I've heard that the Western Religion is currently holding the once-in-a-century Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival in its territory, attracting countless powerful figures.

The Wanfo Festival is a festival held to commemorate the founder of the Western religion. It lasts for fifteen days and includes sermons by venerable monks.

At the foot of Mount Ling, a fighting arena is set up for young people below the Venerable Realm to spar, and even Vajra Liquid is offered as a reward.

This shows how much importance the Western Religion places on it; however, over the years, it has always been the Western Religion's own disciples who have won first place and obtained the Diamond Liquid.

Despite this, each event still attracts countless powerful individuals.

Since emerging from seclusion, Qi Shi'an has been traveling alone. Having reached the Array Formation Realm, he can no longer rely on closed-door training. If he wants to seek a breakthrough, he must hone his skills through battle.

Most importantly, he had no extra resources, so he had to go out and plunder a few suitable major sects.

Qi Shi'an's first target was the Western Sect, with whom he had a feud on Langhuan Island. The murderous intent they displayed that day was overwhelming, and they had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

The Western Religion is a scheme established by one of the major powers in the upper realm in the lower realm, spanning eight regions and possessing profound foundations.

This is also why he chose it as his primary target—it has abundant resources and a deep foundation!

Now that it happens to be the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival, one might even be able to plunder rare divine gold and rare spiritual medicine.

The most important one is the Vajra Elixir of the Western Religion, which is a precious elixir for cleansing the physical body.

Moreover, he was quite interested in the Buddhist supernatural powers of Western religions, such as the indestructible body and the world in the palm of one's hand.

After entering the city, Qi Shi'an made no attempt to conceal his identity and revealed his true face. He now possessed sufficient strength to be unafraid even if a Venerable One were to arrive.

His purpose in coming here is to stir up trouble!

"Have you heard? The battle between the two stones shocked the world, and in the end, Little Stone stood out with absolute strength."

"Of course I heard about it. I never expected that Xiao Shi would win this battle. It's all the fault of the Double Pupil, who made me lose so much money."

Soon, Qi Shi'an heard news about Shi Hao, and many people on the street were talking about the battle between the two Shis.

The double pupils were awe-inspiring in ancient times, but in this life they were severed, and the turmoil swept across the entire Eight Realms.

"sure."

Qi Shi'an murmured to himself, it was a pity that he couldn't witness this earth-shattering battle firsthand.

After all, he had just emerged from seclusion and was traveling the world, so he couldn't afford to be distracted. By the time he received the news, the battle was already over.

"I don't believe Xiao Shi is really that good! If it were me, I would definitely defeat him within ten moves." A young man in black robes was very confident and full of fighting spirit.

Qi Shi'an happened to pass by and overheard this, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon hearing the laughter, the young man in black robes looked at them sharply: "Why are you laughing?"

Qi Shi'an remained calm and said lightly, "It's nothing. I just happened to pass by and overheard someone claiming they could defeat Xiao Shi in ten moves. I thought it was a bit of an exaggeration, so I couldn't help but laugh. Is that wrong?"

"Hmph, even if a few geniuses emerge from this mere desolate land, how can they compare to the prodigies of my Xuan Domain?" The black-robed youth revealed a sneer, his face full of disdain.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, which lineage in the Xuan Domain do you belong to?"

Qi Shi'an looked at him like he was an idiot. He wanted to know which faction had trained this idiot. With such poor judgment, he should just rob him as soon as possible to avoid wasting resources.

"Heh, I am Fu An, the young master of the Fu clan and an outer disciple of the Western Sect!" The black-robed youth stood tall and proud.

The people around were shocked to hear this. Even the outer disciples of the Western Sect were not people they could afford to offend. They looked at Qi Shi'an with pity.

Qi Shi'an was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected to encounter Western Sect disciples before even reaching the foot of the Western Sect's sacred mountain. What a coincidence!

He calmly said, "That makes things easier."

"What?"

Fu An looked puzzled and confused. He didn't understand what the gray-clad boy in front of him was talking about, or what was so easy to do.

However, he understood the next moment.

Qi Shi'an stretched out a palm, and a powerful suction force pulled Fu An sharply towards him.

Before Fu An could react, Qi Shi'an thrust out a palm, and with a "bang," everyone saw a figure fly backward at lightning speed, already on the verge of death.

Everyone was shocked, never expecting this person to act so decisively, that even the young master of the Fu clan couldn't withstand a single palm strike.

"The Dragon-Summoning Hand?! You're the young man from Langhuan Island back then!"

A woman exclaimed in surprise that although some people in the lower realm had obtained the incomplete True Dragon Treasure Technique, only the core disciples of major sects with the Daoist lineage of the upper realm as their backers could master it.

Besides that, there's only the boy who seized the True Dragon Treasure Technique on Langhuan Island two years ago.

These words instantly ignited the entire audience, causing a huge uproar.

"Is he the boy from the desolate region?"

"The True Dragon Technique resides within him! Rumor has it he also possesses the Nine Netherworld Technique!"

Countless people revealed their greedy side. This was a walking treasure trove, with several supreme techniques alone. How could anyone not be tempted?

"I'm here for only one thing: robbery!" Qi Shi'an was fearless about his identity being exposed. "Go tell the Western Cult to quickly offer up their precious techniques and blood, or I'll kill them."

The crowd looked on with surprise. They had long heard of the fierce child's extremely unruly nature, but after witnessing it with their own eyes, they felt that this was not unruly at all, but clearly a bandit and a thug.

"You little devil, this is the Xuan Domain, you can't be so presumptuous here!" someone roared, showing no fear of the fierce child attacking him.

During the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival, Thousand Hands City is teeming with powerful individuals, and even Venerable Realm experts may linger there.

"Little devil, if you came from the ancient divine mountain, we might be a little more wary of you. But you are just a small tribe from the desolate lands. Quickly hand over all your supreme treasures, and we will spare your life!"

"Hand over the Ten Deadly Techniques!"

Many people echoed the call, eager to try, and the streets were filled with creatures. Even the sky was blocked, as if they wanted to surround and kill the little devil here.

Qi Shi'an smiled slightly. This was exactly the effect he wanted. If he didn't attract more people, how could he find a reason to plunder?

The more people come, the happier he is, because that means he can get more resources.

"Sigh, for the sake of the growth of the Myriad Paths Tree, I have to personally show off. Life is tough these days," Qi Shi'an sighed silently to himself.

With a loud "boom," a golden light shot out from afar, heading straight for Qi Shi'an.

"A Venerable One has made a move!" someone exclaimed in shock.

Qi Shi'an was fearless, his dragon aura surging forth, and a dragon tail appeared behind him, like a divine light shattering the void. With a turn, the dragon tail transformed into a streak of orderly demonic light.

"Bang!"

The golden light and the demonic light collided, unleashing an astonishing aftershock. A storm of shimmering runes spread outwards, shattering space into fragments, with wisps of black flame leaping about.

The earth cracked inch by inch, and the shops lining the streets were shattered by the aftershocks of the rune storm.

"ah----"

Some of the weaker ones screamed in agony as their bodies were pulverized by the runic storm.

In the end, the runes scattered across the sky collapsed, the entire street was left in ruins, and the creatures in the core area turned to ashes.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw. This little devil was getting stronger and stronger, and he could even survive an attack from a Venerable.

Could it be—he's become king?!

"Which lineage do you belong to?"

Qi Shi'an stared intently at the black-robed venerable figure appearing in the sky, his eyes filled with ill intent.

The black-robed venerable one said coldly, "You don't need to know."

"Judging from your attire, let me guess, could you be from the Fu clan?" Qi Shi'an said mockingly, blatantly provoking the Venerable One.

As expected, the moment he mentioned the Fu clan, the black-robed venerable man's expression darkened slightly.

"After I cripple you, I'll slowly search your soul and torment you!"

The black-robed venerable one's expression was as cold as ice. He immediately unleashed a powerful technique, and a golden light surged down from the sky.

Qi Shi'an snorted coldly, extended a large hand, runes flashed, and a black dragon phantom appeared behind him. The dragon's claw, carrying the annihilation power of the Nine Netherworlds, grabbed out with a thunderous roar.

The blood-black light was dazzling, and the dragon's might was overwhelming. Wherever the true dragon's claw passed, golden light shattered, and even space itself was torn open with black cracks.

The black-robed venerable man felt a chill run down his spine and immediately summoned a large hammer. He then swung it, unleashing a surging gale that crashed down like a divine hammer with immense force. A deafening roar shook the very void.

"Bang!"

The gale collided with the dragon's claw, and endless runes intertwined before shattering, forming a hazy mist that resembled falling stars.

Qi Shi'an had a real dragon coiled around his arm, his blood energy surging, and he strode forward with overwhelming force, attacking directly.

The black-robed venerable one was startled and retreated rapidly, only to find that the little devil was no more than a meter away from him, the blood-red light in his eyes chillingly cold.

With a single punch, the divine fist was unparalleled, its dragon-like might overwhelming, and the space collapsed wherever the fist's wind passed.

"puff----"

The black-robed venerable one coughed up a mouthful of blood, his chest felt as if it had been struck by lightning, several bones were broken, and his front was stained red with blood.

Everyone's pupils contracted sharply, and they were stunned. A Venerable One had almost been killed by a single punch from the other party?

Keep in mind, this is still a teenager! How can he have such cultivation? This is truly astonishing!

"Cough—you—"

Before the black-robed venerable one could speak, a domineering demonic light slashed towards his brow. His whole body felt cold, and he immediately summoned a protective divine power to shield his brow.

With a "crack," the protective aura shattered, and demonic light shot into the space between the eyebrows, causing the black-robed venerable one excruciating pain in his soul.

Fortunately, he concentrated his precious light to protect his brow, preventing the demonic light from penetrating deeper; otherwise, he would have surely lost his soul and perished.

But he also felt a sense of shame, that a dignified person like him had fallen to such a state.

He had lived a life of great achievements, but now, at this moment, even his life was in the hands of others. He had never experienced such humiliation before.

The next moment, Qi Shi'an grabbed his neck, making it impossible for him to move.

"The True Dragon Trapped in the Heavens!"

Qi Shi'an gave a soft shout, and endless dragon energy soared into the sky. The dense symbols merged with the dragon energy, transforming into dragon-shaped chains that sealed off the entire city.

"I know you all want to kill me and steal my treasure. Since that's the case, then I won't be polite."

"Everyone in Thousand Hands City, if you each offer a jar of ancient remnant blood, or a top-quality spiritual medicine or mineral, I will spare your lives; otherwise—I will slaughter the city!"

""

Qi Shi'an narrowed his eyes, a dark glint flashing in them, and a pure killing intent emanated from his body, causing everyone to tremble.
