………………
At night, the moonlight is like water, reflecting everything below into a pure white color.
Near a small river, a carriage was parked, and a bonfire was lit next to it. A young man sat cross-legged in front of the bonfire, raised his hands, and made a strange movement.
The burning and jumping flames illuminated the young man's resolute face.
The young man is none other than Shi Mu.
The rays of moonlight gathered together and merged into his body.
After a long time, Shi Mu's body shook, and he slowly opened his eyes, showing a hint of joy.
This way back to the Black Demon Gate, he would practice the Prajna Celestial Phantasm while traveling during the day. At night when there was a moon, he would practice the moon-swallowing posture through dreams.
This has been the case all along the journey, without wasting any time.
I wonder if it was due to the influence of the last time he transformed into a white ape in the forbidden area, but now he is practicing the moon-swallowing pose and gathering moonlight faster and faster.
It had only been a few months since he left the Barbarian Saint Snow Palace, and his mind had once again condensed into a crystal grain the size of a broad bean.
Silks of cold energy emanate from the crystal grains, which is quite comfortable.
Shi Mu's Divine Accumulation Technique has now gradually reached the peak of the fourth level. He plans to continue absorbing the moonlight essence for a while and then tries to break through the fifth level bottleneck, but it is obviously not the time yet.
Shi Mu stopped practicing the Moon Swallowing Pose, turned over his hands and took out a Bone Tempering Pill and a Blood Gang Pill and drank them, silently running the Prajna Celestial Elephant Skill to refine the power of the medicine.
His Prajna Celestial Elephant Skill has now reached the tenth level of bottleneck. With the blessing of elixirs, a breakthrough is imminent.
Time passed little by little, and until a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, Shi Mu opened his eyes again and jumped away.
The true energy in his body flows like water drops, and it has reached its peak. Waves of powerful power burst out from his body, and his bones are itchy. It feels like he is not vomiting and unhappy.
He focused his eyes, shouted loudly, grabbed the meteor hammer beside him, and started swinging it on the river bank.
The long meteor hammer looked like a black dragon. It danced wildly around Shi Mu, as if a raging storm was sweeping around ten feet.
The roaring wind stirred up the dust on the ground, and the river surged, creating waves one after another.
A loud bang!
The meteor hammer hit a boulder the size of a millstone by the river, smashing it into pieces.
Shi Mu suddenly stopped. Dancing alone would be a bit monotonous and boring.
Yan Luo's figure appeared in his mind, his eyes lit up slightly, and he recited a spell.
A ball of black energy emerged out of thin air, and the figure inside flashed, and Yan Luo's figure emerged.
"Yanluo, practice your martial arts with me!"
Shi Mu gave an order and waved his arm. The meteor hammer seemed to come out of a hole and flew towards Yan Luo Dang's chest, bringing with it a strong wind.
"...Yes!" At this moment, a vague idea appeared in his mind.
Shi Mu's expression changed, and he grabbed the meteor hammer, and the hammer stopped a foot in front of Yan Luo.
"Are you... able to speak now?" He looked at the skeleton in front of him in surprise.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and only now did he notice that the color of the soul fire in Yanluo's eyes had changed again compared to before, turning into sky blue, and it seemed to have a bit more wisdom.
"...Yes..." Yan Luo's voice was vague, and his soul fire flickered as he looked at the beast soul bag on Shi Mu's waist.
"There is no beast soul inside." Shi Mu noticed what Yan Luo was looking at and said with a bitter smile.
Yanluo Hunhuo couldn't help but dim, and seemed a little disappointed.
"Sure enough!" Shi Mu thought to himself.
If it were in the past, Yanluo would never have such a quick reaction. It seems that as his strength increases, Yanluo's mind has evolved a lot.
However, this incident was also expected by him. Yanluo's spiritual intelligence was not necessarily a bad thing for him.
Shi Mu's thoughts swirled in his mind. After a moment, he put all these thoughts aside and shook his arms.
The meteor hammer rose up like a black dragon and hit Yanluo.
Although Shi Mu has never practiced the hammer technique, he has gradually learned some skills in using it.
The hammer head was spinning and seemed erratic.
Yanluo's body swayed and moved sideways for more than ten feet, avoiding the bombardment.
A smile appeared on Shi Mu's face, and with a shake of his arm, the meteor hammer turned into several black shadows, sweeping towards Yan Luo from several different directions.
As soon as Yanluo stood firm, the black hammer shadow came in front of it, as if it had been expected that it would dodge here.
The soul fire in its eyes flashed, and the bone gun in its hand suddenly transformed into several bone-white gun flowers, which collided with the incoming black shadows.
Bang bang bang! A series of loud sounds of gold and iron clashing.
The meteor hammer is extremely heavy, compared to it, Yanluo's bone gun is more than ten times lighter.
The gunfire shattered, but the incoming black shadows were also shaken away a bit. Yanluo's figure swayed again, and he flew out between the few black shadows.
Shi Mu frowned. The two attacks just seemed simple. He had almost tried his best, but Yan Luo dodged them so easily.
His face darkened, his true energy circulated in his body, and the meteor hammer was used to the extreme in his hand. Afterimages appeared in a criss-cross pattern. At the highest number, more than a dozen afterimages emerged at the same time, heading towards the smoke like a violent storm.
Luo attacked with overwhelming momentum.
A scene that stunned Shi Mu appeared!
No matter how fiercely Shi Mu attacked, Yan Luo easily dodged them one by one. The strong wind caused by the hammering wind shook the nearby trees, and the colorful fallen leaves fell like a continuous drizzle.
Yanluo was dodging in and out of the falling leaves and hammer shadows flying all over the sky, moving left and right, his body moving nimbly.
Sometimes he bent down and lowered his head, sometimes he relaxed his arms, and his movements were as graceful as a willow blowing in the wind. Under the reflection of the bonfire that had not yet been extinguished, his white bones shone with gleaming light.
At this time, the smoke is not so much dodging as it is dancing, like the swallows flying in the Han Palace in the wind, and like the wandering dragon in the scholar's painting.
On the bank of the river in the forest, there are fallen leaves from a bonfire, a man dancing like a shadow with a hammer, and a dancing skeleton, which outlines a slightly weird yet gentle scene.
There was a muffled sound of "clang"!
The bone spear in Yan Luo's hand pierced the iron chain of the meteor hammer, causing the hammer head to deflect a little to the side, and flew past its body.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed. Then he rushed forward, and with a flick of his hand, he pulled out the black meteorite knife from his back.
The sword flashed, and thirteen sword rays swept towards Yan Luo.
The bone gun in Yan Luo's hand shook. White lights emerged, crossed an arc, and pierced into the thirteen sword lights.
A loud sound of steel intersecting!
Thirteen sword lights all shattered, and a huge force came from the meteorite black sword. Shi Mu couldn't help but take a step back.
Yanluo's body was also like catkins in the wind. He flew backwards for a few feet, and his feet landed lightly on the ground.
The expression on Shi Mu's face changed and he did not continue to attack.
The series of attacks and defenses just now clearly showed that Yan Luo's current strength is superior to his.
In the competition just now, Yan Luo probably didn't even show half of his strength. Even if he used the totem secret technique to transform at this moment, he might not be able to defeat Yan Luo.
"Haha!" Shi Mu suddenly laughed loudly.
Yan Luo tilted his head slightly and looked at Shi Mu, seemingly confused.
Shi Mu was quite excited. The stronger Yanluo was, the better it would be for him. Moreover, having such an innate master as his training partner in the future would also be of great benefit to his improvement in martial arts.
He turned around and looked around, seeing that the sky was gradually getting brighter.
The location he was at now was at the junction of Daqi and Yan Kingdom. Although it was a wilderness, it was not without people.
Shi Mu waved his hand and sent Yan Luo back to another world, and packed his luggage.
When the sky became clear, he drove towards the Black Demon Gate.
…
One night half a year later.
The moonlight shines softly on the earth, and a carriage is parked in the grass beside the official road. Beside the carriage, two yellow draft horses swing their tails from time to time, gnawing the grass leisurely and comfortably in the moonlight.
Shi Mu sat quietly cross-legged in an open space not far from the carriage.
After more than half a year of continuous hard work, the moonlight crystal grains in his mind finally became as big as a dragon's eye.
He glanced at the full moon in the sky, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a dream.
It was still the silver boulder. The white ape raised his hands to the sky in a moon-swallowing pose. The milky-white liquid vortex in his mind continued to swallow the power of the moonlight pouring into his body.
What made Shi Mu strange was that the training time this time was particularly long. He was bored and forced himself to calm down and enjoy the scenery in the mountains.
I don't know how long it took, but Shi Mu felt something was wrong.
He sensed it briefly and was immediately shocked. The crystal grains in the white ape's mind had turned into the size of a duck egg.
Shi Mu had a premonition that something was about to happen!
The next moment, he discovered something unusual.
Although the white mist transformed by the power of the moonlight continues to pour into the liquid vortex, the size of the crystal grains does not change. Instead, the liquid vortex becomes denser and denser.
Seeing that the light of the vortex was getting brighter and brighter, a white light suddenly burst out from the center of the vortex and shot out from the top of the white ape's head, reaching a height of dozens of feet.
The crystal grains as big as duck eggs slowly rise from the white light pillar, pass through the Baihui point on the head of the white ape, and finally stop at the top of the light pillar.
Soon the crystal grains emitted a white light in mid-air and started to rotate rapidly. A large number of white light spots in the sky surged towards the crystal grains like a tide.
As time goes by, the white light on the crystal grains becomes brighter and brighter, its momentum becomes more and more alarming, and there is a faint sign of instability.
At this moment, the white ape looked up to the sky and roared loudly, and the sky suddenly darkened.
The next moment, Shi Mu opened his eyes and woke up immediately.
This is an incomplete dream, this was Shi Mu's first reaction at this time.
He frowned slightly and carefully recalled what happened in the dream just now, and vaguely seemed to have some realization.
After a while, Shi Mu closed his eyes and entered the dreamland again.
Half an hour later, he woke up again, his heart moved, but after a while, he still shook his head.
This happened several times in a row, and when Shi Mu woke up for the eleventh time, his eyes flashed, and he felt as if he was about to catch something.
When he entered the dreamland again and the sky darkened again, he finally saw clearly that after the white ape roared, almost most of the light of the moon hanging in the sky was absorbed by it in an instant.
