Chapter 544: All Beasts Are Frightened (Happy National Day)
Double monthly tickets are still available during the National Day holiday. I’m asking for guaranteed monthly tickets from fellow Taoists!
………………
Shi Mu stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest outside Senior Brother Ling Feng’s residence, sighed softly, and moved, turning into a stream of red light and escaping into the distance.
Not long after, his figure fell again, but he had returned to the courtyard of his own mansion.
“Meet the Lord!” Several servants who happened to pass by the courtyard saluted and said respectfully when they saw Shi Mu.
Shi Mu was still thinking about what Senior Brother Ling Feng had just said. He waved his hand absentmindedly and walked towards the depths of the mansion.
After walking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked:
“Who of you saw Cai’er?”
“Master Cai seems to have taken people to Lingquan.” A servant replied quickly.
“I know.” Shi Mu nodded, turned around and strode into the mansion.
Passing through the main hall and the main house, Shi Mu went straight to the secret room in the back mountain.
However, as soon as he pushed open the stone door of the secret room, he was stunned.
Because the secret room was not empty at this moment. On the stone chair, with her back to him, sat a woman in palace dress.
Shi Mu was shocked and frowned.
According to his current spiritual power, he should have noticed that there was one more person in the secret room, but he didn't.
Even though the woman was sitting in front of Shi Mu, Shi Mu still couldn't feel the breath emanating from her, and couldn't even feel the fluctuation of spiritual power.
In other words, if this woman attacked him from behind, he would probably not be able to dodge it.
Thinking of this, Shi Mu couldn't help but sweat on his back. While he was secretly on guard, he looked at the other person without changing his expression.
The woman was wearing a white palace dress with wide sleeves and a slightly tightened belt, which perfectly outlined her exquisite figure. Her wide skirt was like the light of snow and moon, and her long dark hair, which reached her waist, was like a black waterfall, spreading down from her shoulders.
She sat quietly on the chair, with a layer of pale white halo all over her body, looking like a fairy from the sky, with an indescribable temperament.
Shi Mu's heart suddenly moved, and he called out uncertainly:
"Yanluo... is it you?"
The woman shrugged her shoulders and slowly turned her face.
On that face that was as delicate as jade, she was slightly squinting, with a prominent nose and slightly parted cherry lips. She looked natural, and there was not a single flaw in her.
On her forehead, there is a lotus-shaped black spiritual mark, which matches her crystal-like skin. It not only does not destroy her extraordinary temperament, but also adds a bit of seductiveness.
Who else can have such a stunning beauty besides Yan Luo?
But now, she has removed her silver armor, which makes her less heroic and decisive, but more like a fairy who is not worldly.
Shi Mu looked at the figure like this, and he was a little crazy. Only the word "amazing" remained in his mind.
"Have you seen enough?" Yan Luo opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was still as cold as before.
"Oh, sorry, I'm just a little surprised. By the way, why are you here?" Shi Mu came back to his senses and asked.
In fact, since the expiration of the three-year period agreed upon at the beginning, Shi Mu had summoned the other party more than once, but the latter never responded to him, let alone appeared in front of him, so he asked this question.
The contract between him and Yan Luo was not abandoned, and the spiritual connection between them still existed, but Shi Mu knew that those connections were simply meaningless to Yan Luo now.
Yan Luo glanced at Shi Mu, but did not answer him, just said lightly:
"Of course there is something."
"What is it?"
"Follow me."
As soon as the voice fell, without waiting for Shi Mu to agree, Yan Luo took out the Falling Immortal Platform without saying anything, and silently chanted a spell.
With a swish!
The golden dark pattern on the surface of the Falling Immortal Platform shone, and a black vortex emerged out of thin air, swallowing Shi Mu and Yan Luo in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared.
Shi Mu felt dizzy, and the next moment, he found himself in the dead spirit interface.
He glanced around and found that he was on the altar by the Mingshui Lake, which was the one Yan Luo built for him more than ten years ago.
What surprised Shi Mu was that the area of the Mingshui Lake in front of him was several times larger than what he remembered. It looked vast and boundless, like a small sea area.
On the shore of Mingshui Lake, there are now dozens of black stone palaces scattered around, with a simple and rough shape.
Around those black stone palaces, there are densely packed countless white skeleton soldiers. Shi Mu roughly estimated that there are nearly 100,000 of them.
Obviously, Yan Luo has not been idle in these years, and her strength has expanded more than ten times.
"Yan Luo, why did you bring me here?" Shi Mu quickly glanced and asked.
"You want to kill all the immortals?" Yan Luo asked.
"You..." Shi Mu just asked half of the question in surprise, and then he understood it in his heart.
Most likely, there was a contract between Yan Luo and him, and the dominant position of the contractual relationship between the two was shifting, which led to Yan Luo's knowledge of the blood contract.
"To be honest, I am also a little confused about this matter." Shi Mu said so.
"Tell me what you know." Yan Luo said.
"Well, this is what happened..."
Shi Mu thought for a moment and found that he didn't need to hide anything from Yan Luo. Besides, he was confused and wanted to know the answer. After all, from her current performance, she seemed to know something else.
So, Shi Mu told Yan Luo the truth about Xuan Gong, Fantian Stick, White Ape Ancestor and Blood Contract.
"That was the situation at that time, so I still don't know much about it." Shi Mu shook his head and said.
"With your current strength, it's wishful thinking to say that you can kill all the immortals. Even if there is an immortal, he can crush you with one finger." Yan Luo said so.
After hearing this, Shi Mu's heart was shocked.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the fairyland that appeared in the Fantian Stick restriction and the golden giant palm that he was completely unable to resist.
"By the way, what is this so-called heaven? Do the so-called immortals really exist?" Shi Mu asked with a frown.
As soon as he asked this question, he saw Yan Luo's face suddenly turned cold, and a fierce killing intent that almost turned into substance suddenly emanated from her body and swept out in all directions.
The tens of thousands of skeletons gathered by the Mingshui Lake felt this killing intent, and their bodies trembled wildly, and a sound of bones colliding suddenly rang out in all directions.
Yan Luo's killing intent lasted for a few breaths before slowly dissipating.
"I don't know where the Heavenly Court is. I only know that you and I have the same goal and we have a common enemy. But now you are too weak and need to be tempered in battle, otherwise you will die." After a long while, Yan Luo calmed down and said so.
"You mean..." Shi Mu's heart moved.
Let alone killing into the Heavenly Court and killing all the immortals, what lies before him is first the qualification to obtain the Magic Path of Illusion.
None of the top three people in the first level of the Qinglan List are easy to deal with. Not only have they reached the heavenly level in their cultivation, but they have also been in the first level for many years and have rich practical experience.
"You just need to remember your promise! I will arrange the rest for you," Yan Luo said.
...
Two months later.
In a desolate valley, Shi Mu, dressed in a green shirt, stood upright on a reddish-brown rock like a javelin, holding his Ruyi iron stick as long as his body tightly in his hand.
"Spirit snake out of the cave!"
His eyes flashed, and he strode forward, dancing the long stick in his hand quickly, and a white tornado like a spirit snake flew out and rushed forward.
"The tired bird knows how to return!"
Then, Shi Mu rushed forward again, and the Ruyi long stick in his hand swung and threw it, dancing a spinning stick shadow in the air, and actually pulled the white tornado that had just rushed out back.
"Hidden dragon rises from the abyss!"
"Apes climb up!"
"Eagles cover the top!"
...
"Tigers and rhinos escape from their cages!"
Shi Mu's body moved and the black long stick in his hand flew up and down, and he used the first eight moves of Tongtian stick method in one go.
At this time, in the valley, sand and stones were flying, and dark clouds covered the sky, as if the end of the world was approaching.
Shi Mu's body was wrapped by a large group of white airflow mixed with brown sand and gravel, as if a solid wall was surrounding him, blocking him from the outside world.
"Ah..."
All kinds of beasts roared continuously from within the wall of sand and gravel airflow, and phantoms of beasts kept emerging from the wall, as if they wanted to break free from the shackles of the wall.
Shi Mu's face was solemn, and the black long stick that was rotating left and right suddenly retracted and was horizontal in front of him.
Then he took a step forward, holding the long stick tightly with both hands, and suddenly shook the stick forward horizontally.
"Roar!"
A roar like a giant beast came out, like a tiger roaring in the mountains, full of endless majesty.
The white airflow mixed with sand and gravel collapsed, and the huge beasts formed by the airflows had been suppressed for a long time, and finally broke free from the restraint of the wall and jumped out of it.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
The chaotic and heavy footsteps sounded, and the torrent of beasts in the valley was rushing wantonly. Countless tigers, giant rhinos, dragons and elephants rushed to the mouth of the valley. The huge momentum shook the rocks on both sides of the valley and rolled down, and the whole valley was filled with smoke and dust.
This earth-shaking sound lasted for about two or three breaths. The beasts finally rushed out of the valley and rushed nearly a hundred feet before the momentum subsided.
Shi Mu Ren was still in the valley, looking at the hundreds of gullies as deep as ten feet in front of him that were impacted by the torrent of beasts, and his heart was also extremely shocked.
In the previous competition, he had gained some inspiration from the combined use of several moves of Tongtian Staff, and now, with the comprehension of the Immortal Destroying Style, he understood the ultimate principle of martial arts, that all methods return to one, and return to the original simplicity.
Although he has not yet fully understood it, his comprehension of the staff has reached a higher level.
This time, he practiced hard and finally combined the first eight moves of Tongtian Staff into one, comprehended this move, All Beasts Shocked, and created the nineteenth move of Tongtian Staff. (To be continued.)
