Time passed bit by bit, and the Cang Yue Secret Realm gradually underwent subtle changes.
The originally dense mountain forests began to lose their green color, countless green plants and ancient trees began to turn green and yellow, and even the originally mighty and wide rivers began to show signs of drying up.
The vitality of heaven and earth in the entire Cangyue Secret Realm is rapidly declining.
The Qinglan disciples in the secret realm had received a message from Li Sheng in advance, and they did not show any surprise at the changes that would occur in the Cangyue secret realm. They just looked at the changes in the surrounding environment and felt a little distressed.
More than a month later.
At this time, the passage to the underworld above the formation has been closed, and the water from the Styx River is no longer flowing, leaving only a bloody lake.
Shi Mu was still sinking to the bottom of the lake, his body shining like a bright lamp, illuminating the entire lake.
Unknowingly, the aura on his body had become so powerful that it was frightening.
I saw his body trembling slightly with a unique rhythm, shaking out circles of circular waves, which continued to expand on the water surface and spread layer by layer.
At this moment, Shi Mu's eyes suddenly opened, and the golden light flashed in his pupils, making him look extremely energetic.
He let out a low shout and raised his hands into the sky. A large golden glow suddenly lit up between his eyebrows, and a golden man several feet tall flew out.
The facial features of this little golden man already looked like Shi Mu's, his whole body was shining with golden light, and he actually exuded an extremely powerful aura.
Although his figure is very petite, the expression on his small face is quite solemn.
He raised his hands and moved them down like water, and his whole body rose into the sky, jumped straight out of the lake, and flew into the funnel-shaped formation.
The golden man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his mouth suddenly opened. An invisible suction force suddenly emerged from it, and the bright light points that originally flowed towards the lake suddenly roared towards his mouth.
Its essence is closer to that of a spiritual body, and the speed at which it absorbs these sun essence, moonlight, and heaven and earth vitality far exceeds that of Shi Mu's physical body, and large bright light spots continuously flow into his body.
I saw that the golden figure who was several inches tall began to grow in size as the light spots continued to merge in. His whole body became extremely bright, as transparent as a piece of golden crystal.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the golden figure had grown to the size of an ordinary person, and the spiritual tide coming from the Cangyue Secret Realm gradually weakened, and finally disappeared after a few flashes.
Seeing this, the little golden man swayed a few times, floated down leisurely, crossed the water of the lake, and stopped behind Shi Mu.
I saw a flash of golden light all over his body, and after a blur, his figure gradually merged with Shi Mu's body.
God and man are one!
"Boom"
A dry land thunder sounded.
Shi Mu's body suddenly shook, and he suddenly stood up from the stone platform. The huge power that had just entered his body, the golden man's body, suddenly exploded and rushed towards the acupoints all over Shi Mu's body.
"Puff puff puff"
The pores all over Shi Mu's body opened one by one, and streaks of golden light came out from it, like thousands of bright lamps, shining in all directions.
The light was so dazzling that it even blocked the light of the sun in the sky.
For more than a month, Li Sheng has been guarding the outermost edge of the formation, observing Shi Mu's changes. When he saw this scene, his face couldn't help but reveal a look of joy, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.
When Shi Mu advanced to the late stage of the divine realm, the most critical step had arrived, and success or failure depended on this.
As these rays of light continued to shine, waves of "crackling" sounds were heard from Shi Mu's body, and his body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, it turned into large round golden balls.
The skin on his body has been stretched to the extreme, with cracks appearing on the surface. He is about to burst as he is about to be unable to withstand the huge amount of heaven and earth energy in his body.
"roar……"
At this moment, Shi Mu let out a loud roar that shook the sky, and the blood of the giant ape in his body was aroused. His muscles expanded rapidly, and his body quickly grew in size.
In an instant, it transformed into the body of a giant ape thousands of feet tall and rushed out of the lake.
"Bang bang bang"
Several collision sounds were heard one after another, and Shi Mu's huge body hit the white stone platform suspended in mid-air, smashing it into pieces, falling from the mid-air, and smashing into the bloody lake.
Countless golden lights were seen rushing back and forth within Shi Mu's huge body, as if they were about to break through his body and tear him apart.
The golden hair on Shi Mu's body stood on end, his two huge heads opened their bloody mouths, and they roared violently. His four huge arms clenched their fists and suddenly shook the sky.
A dazzling golden light wave suddenly shot into the sky, exuding a terrifying aura.
Wherever this light wave passed, the white clouds in the sky were torn apart layer by layer, opening up a huge hole.
"Rumble"
The sound of rolling thunder kept ringing, but it kept coming from Shi Mu's body.
I saw golden light exploding everywhere in his body, shaking the entire grassland, and the blood-colored lake under his feet was like boiling, constantly churning and surging.
The Qinglan disciples who were far away in the city felt the aura, and they all turned their eyes here, their eyes full of disbelief.
"boom"
The last thunder crackled, and the world returned to calm again.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying and powerful aura suddenly emerged, sweeping in all directions.
The moment Li Sheng came into contact with this aura, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
The next moment, Shi Mu's figure was engulfed in a dazzling golden light.
In the golden light, one side of Shi Mu's two huge heads flickered with light, and a huge ape head emerged again, and in addition to the two arms under its ribs, two thick arms grew out, turning into three heads and six arms.
It is no different from the golden-armored giant ape we saw back then.
"Ouch..."
Shi Mu couldn't help but roared up to the sky with excitement. Although he had only crossed one level after advancing to the late stage of the divine realm, he could feel the leap in the amount of spiritual energy in his body. He could feel that something had happened in his body.
Essential changes.
But what the specific differences were, he couldn't feel clearly for a while. He would only reveal them in actual combat in the future.
After the excitement of entering the divine realm for the first time gradually subsided, Shi Mu's whole body flashed with golden light, his body size shrank sharply, and he finally transformed into a human again.
"Not bad, not bad!" Li Sheng flew to Shi Mu's side and said with a smile.
"Thank you, senior." Shi Mu said with a salute.
At this moment, in the Cangyue Secret Realm, the vegetation is mostly yellowish in color and is not as vibrant as it was at the beginning. Even the originally abundant vitality between heaven and earth has become very thin.
The smile on Li Sheng's face did not diminish, and he waved his hand, indicating that Shi Mu did not need to be polite.
"By the way, is the purple jade furnace where Gongshuzi used to refine magic weapons at your place?" Li Sheng said.
"Senior, how did you know that this azure furnace is here?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"Your Tianji cudgel scabbard came from the purple jade furnace, and the Nine Dragons Lock Gold Armor you wore before was obviously reforged with the purple jade furnace. I can still see this. Speaking of which, why don't you see it?
Are you wearing that precious armor?" Li Sheng asked curiously.
"The Nine-Dragon Lock Golden Armor was struck by thunder when I was going through the tribulation, and was seriously damaged. However, I never had time to repair it, so I didn't wear it," Shi Mu explained.
"It just so happens that I accidentally found an ancient formation diagram before, which can greatly strengthen the armor's defense. I wanted to help you reforge the Nine Dragons Golden Armor. Now I will use the purple jade furnace to repair the original damage." Li
Sheng said with a smile.
"Senior Li Sheng, this purple jade furnace should have been destroyed originally. It was only preserved because the spirit of senior Gong Shuzi remained attached to the furnace body. However, there were only three opportunities to refine it. I have used two before.
If you use it again this time, the spirit of Senior Gongshuzi will completely dissipate." Shi Mu said with some embarrassment.
Hearing this, Li Sheng pondered for a moment and then said: "Although I am not familiar with Gongshuzi, I also know his crazy reputation. He was obsessed with refining weapons. I didn't expect that after death, his spirit would not be extinguished and would be attached to the furnace for refining weapons."
, which is really admirable. But do you know why he is attached to the weapon-refining furnace?"
"Weapon refining." Shi Mu replied without thinking.
"Even so, what else can you say?" Li Sheng said with a smile.
"I understand." Shi Mu's eyes lit up and he said.
Gongshuzi has to possess his soul in the purple jade furnace even after death. Isn't it possible to refine an earth-shattering artifact?
Even so, seizing this last opportunity to refine the Nine Dragons Golden Armor would be the best explanation for Gongshuzi, so that he can have the best destination.
After saying that, he waved his palm, and a purple copper furnace immediately emerged, supported by a force, and suspended high in the air.
Shi Mu then muttered a few words silently, waved his hand and shot out a ray of light, which disappeared into the furnace in a flash.
A burst of purple light suddenly appeared on the purple jade stove, and a green shadow flew out from the narrow gap, condensing into the figure of a skinny old man, who was Gongshuzi.
As soon as Gongshuzi's figure appeared, he started to circle around the purple jade furnace, shouting: "What a treasure, what a treasure..."
But when he saw the cracks on the purple jade furnace, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity, what a pity..."
When Shi Mu saw this, he sighed in his heart. Gongshuzi couldn't even remember the Zicui furnace.
"Senior Gongshuzi." Shi Mu stepped forward and bowed, his expression respectful.
"Who are you?" Sure enough, Gongshuzi couldn't remember who Shi Mu was at all.
"senior……"
Before Shi Mu could finish his words, he saw Gongshuzi suddenly turn around and rush towards the bloody lake below.
"This is... the water of the Styx? Haha... it turns out to be the water of the Styx! It must have been more than a hundred years since I last saw this water. I never thought I would be able to see it again!" Gongshuzi looked very surprised.
