………………
The black and white light that filled the sky and the earth just passed away in a flash, and the dazzling white lightning and sea of black flames immediately dissipated.
Between heaven and earth, after a period of earth-shaking, tranquility returned.
In mid-air, Shi Mu still maintained the posture of holding the stick with both hands and pointing directly at the sky, but the golden scales around his body and the dharma image behind him had disappeared.
At this moment, his face was pale, and he felt weak all over, and his body was shaking in mid-air.
"Sure enough, it's still a bit reluctant!" Shi Mu said to himself in a low voice as his chest heaved.
As soon as he finished speaking, his vision suddenly went dark, the fire on his body went out, and he immediately fell from the air.
A silver light flashed through the air, and Yan Luo suddenly arrived and caught Shi Mu.
She lowered her head and glanced at Shi Mu. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or sad on her beautiful face. After a brief pause, she turned into a silver light again and flew away into the distance.
…
A few days later.
In the secret room of Shi Mu Cave, the void suddenly fluctuated greatly, and a large black light emerged.
After a moment, the black light flashed wildly and turned into a slowly rotating vortex.
In the whirlpool, a figure flew out and landed on the ground.
It was Shi Mu.
"Finally home!"
He glanced around, breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured to himself.
The undead interface was gloomy and silent, and he still didn't like it.
However, thanks to Yanluo's guidance, he has been able to experience one battle after another in the undead interface in the past three years, which greatly increased his actual combat experience against the enemy.
After all, apart from the undead interface, looking at the entire Miyang Star Territory, it is extremely difficult to find another place where there are so many heavenly opponents and they can be killed.
Although he is still in the late Earth level, his aura and real strength are completely different from those two years ago. He is also very confident in fighting against those below the mid-level Heaven level.
increase.
Shi Mu stood quietly in the secret room for a while, calming down, then took a deep breath, turned and walked outside.
"Stone!"
As soon as Shi Mu walked out of the cave, a small figure flew from a distance, naturally it was Cai'er.
"How have these years been? No one has come to cause trouble, right?" Shi Mu asked casually.
"With Fatty Qi and me here, what can happen? By the way, have you completed the trial in the undead interface?" Cai'er landed on Shi Mu's shoulder and asked.
Shi Mu nodded.
"Then where are you going? Do you want to challenge the magic path?" Cai'er asked.
"Not bad." Shi Mu glanced at the sky and said.
"But, the ten-year competition is coming soon. Do you really want to challenge at this time?" Cai'er asked.
Shi Mu was startled. He had been busy practicing these years and had forgotten the time. In the blink of an eye, almost nine years had passed and the time for the competition was very close.
"Shitou, you have been busy practicing in seclusion these years, but you haven't even completed the sect mission. How about you wait until the competition is over before challenging again. With your current strength, you can show off in the competition and get some sects first.
Let’s talk about the door reward.” Cai’er suggested.
"Those are just petty profits, so don't worry about them." Shi Mu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.
Seeing Shi Mu's unhesitating attitude, Cai'er said nothing more.
"Let's go!"
Shi Mu waved his hand and used the Green Wing Speedster, which turned into a ray of green light and flew towards the Xuanling Tower.
After a while, Shi Mu arrived outside a black hall in Xuanling Pagoda.
There is a black plaque hanging above the main hall, with the three characters "Huan Mo Palace" written on it.
"This is it." Shi Mu murmured to himself and stepped inside.
The decorations in the main hall are extremely simple, with only a strip-shaped stone table, and the rest of the hall is empty with nothing.
There was a drowsy old man in gray sitting behind the stone table. He was dozing off and didn't notice Shi Mu walking in.
Shi Mu glanced at the main hall for a few times, and finally walked to the stone table.
"Shi Mu, I have met this senior deacon." Shi Mu said loudly.
The cultivation level of this old man in gray is only at the early stage of the earth-level. Judging from the clothes on his body, he should be a low-level deacon who was assigned here.
The old man in gray clothes woke up with a start, glanced at Shi Mu sleepily, stood up hurriedly, and asked:
"Who are you? What are you doing in the Phantom Palace?"
"Shi Mu, I want to challenge the magic path." Shi Mu said.
"What!" The old man in gray clothes seemed to have heard wrongly. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Shi Mu up and down.
"Shi Mu, I want to challenge the magic path!" Shi Mu repeated.
"You...you want to challenge the Demonic Path, are you serious?" The old man in gray had a strange look on his face.
"Of course I take it seriously and ask this senior deacon brother to report it to the sect." Shi Mu took out the Xuanling Bi and handed it over with a solemn expression.
When the old man in gray clothes saw Shi Mu's expression, he was sure that he was not joking and hurriedly reached out to take it.
He waved his hand and took out a black token and waved it on Shi Mu's Xuanling Bi.
A ray of green light flew out of the Xuanling Bi and flew into the black token. Shi Mu's name immediately appeared on the black token.
"Okay, I have already made a record. You go back first. The challenge will begin in three days. Someone will inform you of the specific details." The old man in gray said.
Shi Mu nodded, put away the Xuanling Bi, turned around and walked outside.
"Hey, I didn't expect that I would encounter such a rare thing after only working here for more than a hundred years!" The old man in gray clothes looked at Shi Mu's back and said in surprise.
It’s no wonder that the gray-clothed old man is like this. Although the Qinglan Holy Land has set up the path of the Phantom Demon for centuries-old disciples, there are not even ten people who have applied to challenge the Phantom Demon in so many years since the sect was established.
Therefore, the Hall of Illusions and Demons here has been idle all year round, and is known as the most sparsely populated space in the Xuanling Tower. There are even many hundred-year-old disciples who have never known that there is another place even though they have stayed on the first floor for thousands of years.
Such a place to go.
The old man in gray clothes was once a disciple for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, he violated the sect's rules and was demoted as a deacon. He has been guarding here for more than a hundred years. This is the first time he has encountered someone challenging the magic path.
He clicked his tongue a few times, but still did not forget the business and turned around to go to the inner hall of the main hall.
The place is empty, except for a black stone tablet standing deep in the depths, with black light lingering on it and countless small runes appearing and disappearing.
The old man in gray clothes took out the black token and muttered something while the token in his hand gradually lit up.
After a moment, a black light flew out from it and disappeared into the black stone tablet.
The black stone tablet shone brightly, and Shi Mu's name appeared on it.
At the same time, somewhere in the Qinglan Holy Land, a black stone tablet stood up like the inner hall of the Phantom Demon Palace. At this moment, the light suddenly shone brightly on it.
A big purple bell hung near the stone tablet, and it also lit up at this moment, and made a loud "dong dong" sound that spread far away.
"What's going on? The Phantom Demon Bell is ringing. Is this a hundred-year-old disciple who wants to apply to challenge the Phantom Demon Path?"
"Oh, this is really strange. I wonder what kind of disciple he is this time?"
As soon as the bell rang, many people in the upper echelons of the Holy Land learned of the matter and started talking about it.
The news of Shi Mu's challenge to the Phantom Demonic Path spread quickly. In less than a day, it spread throughout the Qinglan Holy Land, causing an uproar.
Many people who didn't know what the Phantom Demonic Path was at first learned about such a special place in the Holy Spirit Tower.
After everyone learned the purpose of Shi Mu's move, they were naturally in an uproar.
After all, this move is too unbelievable. Just challenging the harsh conditions of the top three disciples can make most disciples flinch, let alone the next fantasy path.
Gradually, everyone's attention and expectations for this matter even exceeded that of the upcoming competition.
After all, the Great Competition only happens every ten years, and there is not even one person who can challenge the Demonic Dao in a hundred years.
In a spiritual place on the first level of space, a young man in white clothes sat cross-legged on a large blue stone. Under the big stone, an attendant in green clothes knelt down and prostrated on the ground, saying something.
"Shi Mu? I seem to have heard of this name. Is he the newly promoted high-ranking disciple from the last competition? You actually want to challenge the magic path? You really don't know how to live or die!" After hearing this, the young man in white showed a sneer on his face.
This person is none other than Yunyi, who ranks third among the top disciples. He has thin eyebrows and narrow eyes, and there is a faint black light in his eyes, which is extremely bright. He seems to have practiced some kind of secret technique.
The attendant in green knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head at all, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Okay, I know about this, please go down." After a while, Yunyi waved his hand and said.
"I'll resign!"
As if he had received an amnesty, the attendant in green clothes hurriedly stood up and walked out backwards.
"You're such a newbie kid who doesn't know the world! Well, I'll just do a good deed to prevent you from stepping into the magic path and dying there." Yunyi murmured to himself and closed his eyes again.
…
In the attic of the bamboo forest, Ling Feng played with a communication token between his fingers, and a line of small words appeared on it, which was the news of Shi Mu's challenge to the magic path.
"I thought that after three years of silence, I would have given up on the idea of challenging, but I didn't expect that I would be so persistent." Ling Feng shook his head and sighed.
He was silent for a moment, stood up, and walked slowly outside.
…
A huge mountain peak towers into the clouds, the peak protrudes above the sea of clouds, and the clouds near the peak are billowing like a tornado.
On the top of the peak, a young man in golden robes sat cross-legged, it was Long Zhanye.
He exuded an astonishing aura, which was much more powerful than that of Dabi back then. The surrounding clouds were pushed away by an invisible force a hundred feet away from him.
A burst of white light suddenly lit up on his body, he opened his eyes, and took out a white jade pendant from his arms, with a line of small words lighting up on it.
"Hey! Someone actually wants to challenge the Phantom Demonic Way. It's interesting..." Long Zhanye's eyes flashed with golden light, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He has been a century-old disciple for almost five hundred years. He had long wanted to be promoted to a thousand-year disciple and go to the second level of the Holy Land in advance, but unfortunately he did not have enough time.
Others didn't know about the existence of the Phantom Demonic Way, but as the number one disciple for a hundred years, he naturally knew it. However, after weighing it, he still didn't try to challenge it.
After all, the magic path is not purely based on strength, but tests people's character. If you are not careful, you may fall into it and be unable to extricate yourself. The risk is too great.
"Shi Mu... This person seems to be a newly promoted high-ranking disciple. I have seen him compete twice and his strength is pretty good. But I don't know if he will have a chance to challenge me." Long Zhanye murmured to himself.
.
After a moment, he stood up and turned into a golden light and flew towards the distance.
