At the moment when Shi Mu passed through the light gate.
Buzz!
Deep in the first level of Qinglan Holy Land, a sound like a bell and a cauldron suddenly sounded, spreading far around and resounding for tens of thousands of miles.
"what happened?"
"This voice...could it be..."
"This is the phantom demon monument that is vibrating. Someone has broken through the phantom demon path!"
"Could it be that Shi Mu succeeded?"
Everyone was startled when they heard the sound of the bell and cauldron. After all, throughout the ages, there have been only a few people who have ventured into the path of fantasy and magic, and even fewer have succeeded. Only a few who know the meaning of the sound of the magic monument have stayed there for hundreds of years.
Apart from the 20-year-old disciples, there are only some senior members of the sect.
However, those who did not know what was going on naturally became incredulous after being informed by those in the know.
…
Shi Mu only felt a flower appear in front of his eyes, appearing in a white hall.
He took a quick look and found that this place was not the previous Phantom Demon Palace.
The hall was very empty, except for a few pillars, there was nothing else.
"You are Shi Mu, you are actually able to break through the magic path. You have a good character." At this moment, a clear voice came from behind him.
Shi Mu quickly turned around and saw a figure shrouded in cyan light standing there, his face unclear.
"Disciple has met the senior." Shi Mu swept his spiritual consciousness and found that he could not detect the aura of the other party's cultivation level, so he quickly bowed.
"No need to be polite." The green-light figure raised his hand, and an invisible potential lifted up Shi Mu's body.
Then the figure looked Shi Mu up and down and seemed to be very interested in Shi Mu.
Shi Mu felt a chill in his heart and stood there honestly.
"That's right, no one in our sect has broken through the Illusion Demonic Path for nearly a thousand years. I didn't expect to meet one today." The green-light figure said.
"Disciple just got through by luck." Shi Mu said humbly.
"Not arrogant or impetuous, that's good. No wonder you can pass many illusion tests. Now that you have passed through the illusion and demon path, according to the sect's rules, you can be regarded as a thousand-year disciple. However, there are some processes in the process, and you still need to wait for a while.
, can you officially become a thousand-year disciple." The green light figure said.
"Yes, disciple understands." Shi Mu said.
"In that case, I will send you back now. You have consumed a lot of your soul power now. Take a good rest. Someone will naturally arrange the follow-up matters." The green-light figure said and waved his hand to dust.
A ball of white light enveloped Shi Mu's body.
His eyes flashed, and the next moment he appeared on a high slope, surrounded by tall trees, and he had suddenly returned to the first level.
Shi Mu looked around blankly and found that not far away was the Xuanling Pagoda.
He breathed slowly, his face showed joy, and then some doubts.
Judging from the words and deeds of the figure shrouded in green light just now, as well as his inability to see through his cultivation, this person should be a person of considerable status in Qinglan Holy Land, possibly one of the eight guardians, or even one of the four elders.
But for some unknown reason, he didn't show his true face to others.
After thinking about it for a while, he found that he still had no clue. He immediately put this thought aside and turned into a red ray of light, flying towards the cave.
…
"Then Shi Mu actually broke through the Demonic Path, how is it possible! Is the news true?" In a cave, Lu Jing received the report from his attendants, his face full of surprise.
"It's absolutely true. I've asked several attendants and stewards who are working under the old disciple to inquire. The sound before came from the Phantom Demon Monument, which means that someone has passed the Phantom Demon Path." The attendant said quickly.
"I know, let's go down." Lu Jing waved his hand impatiently, and the attendant quickly retreated as if he had been granted amnesty.
After the attendant left, Lu Jing crushed a wine glass in his hand to pieces, his face was gloomy and his eyes flickered with hatred.
…
In the attic cave of the bamboo forest.
"I didn't expect that he really got through, and I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse..." Ling Feng stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, and murmured to himself.
…
In another secret room of the cave, Long Zhanye sat cross-legged with an uncertain expression, and sighed after a long time.
…
"Sister, this Shi Mu is so powerful." In an ordinary disciple's cave, two siblings, Ma Long and Malie, were sitting inside. Ma Lie said with some disbelief.
Although he persisted to the end in the new disciple trial, he failed to rank among the top 108. He also failed to do so in the trial nine years ago. However, Ma Long earned a lot of money due to Shi Mu's relationship.
After taking a large amount of spiritual stones, he managed to recruit him into the Lingdi Cave and served as an attendant and steward.
"I have long said that Shi Mu's strength is beyond what you and I can imagine. Ma Lie, if you see him again in the future, be sure to pay attention to your words and deeds," Ma Long said.
"Yes, sister." Even though Ma Lie was arrogant, he couldn't help but lower his head after repeated blows and the current situation.
"You don't need to be discouraged. The new round of trials won't be long. Your cultivation has improved a lot over the years. In a few days, I will take you to choose a powerful spiritual weapon. There may not be a chance." Ma Long
comforted.
"Thank you, sister! By the way, sister, he is about to become a thousand-year disciple. Do you think our matter has any hope of success?" Ma Lie suddenly raised his head and asked.
"I can't say for sure. We'll see what happens when the time comes." Ma Long pondered for a moment and said.
Ma Lie nodded honestly.
In the next few days, the news that Shi Mu had broken through the Phantom Demonic Path began to spread at a very fast speed, causing a lot of heated discussion.
The Phantom Demonic Path has also become known to almost everyone. Although many people have expressed interest in the Phantom Demonic Path, they have to give up the idea due to its harsh prerequisites.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Shi Mu was sitting cross-legged in the secret room meditating. Suddenly he opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the door. He raised his sleeves and robe, and the stone door opened.
Qi Feng stood respectfully not far away, raised his hands to Shi Mu and said:
"Reporting to the Palace Master, Palace Master Lingfeng is here to ask for an audience."
"Ling Feng? Ask him to stay in the living room for a while and serve him some good tea. I'll be there later." Shi Mu pondered for a moment and then said.
"It has been arranged." Qi Feng said.
"Okay, you go down first." Shi Mu said.
"Yes." Qi Feng saluted Shi Mu and retreated.
After a while, Shi Mu put on a pair of brand new clothes and walked into the living room from the outside with grand steps.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Ling Feng, who was wearing a green gown, sitting on the right side of the living room, holding a tea bowl in one hand and gently skimming the tea leaves with the lid of the bowl in the other, sipping gently.
His movements and demeanor are calm and calm, and he seems to have a sense of freedom and ease.
"Senior Brother Ling, I have been inviting you to my house for a long time, and today you are finally willing to come." Shi Mu said with a smile.
Ling Feng stopped drinking tea, raised his head and looked at Shi Mu, smiled casually and said:
"Junior brother, you have been busy practicing. It is not easy to achieve today's achievements. As a senior brother, I don't have the nerve to bother you more."
"Senior brother, what you said is really embarrassing to me. I wonder why senior brother came here today?" Shi Mu said with a smile.
"Of course it's a good thing." Ling Feng said.
"A good thing?" Shi Mu asked doubtfully.
"That's right, I came here today on the order of Elder Mo Lan to take you to the Qinghuang Palace." Ling Feng said seriously.
"Elder Mo Lan? Qinghuang Palace? Why have I never heard anyone mention it before?" Shi Mu said with some confusion.
"The Green and Yellow Hall is the main hall of the Yellow Level area. It is presided over by Elder Mo Lan and oversees all affairs of the century-old disciples." Ling Feng explained.
"Main Palace?" Shi Mu asked.
"Junior Brother Shi, you don't know yet? There is a main hall on the two floors where century-old disciples and thousand-year disciples live and practice. The first floor is the Qinghuang Hall, and the second floor is the Qingxuan Hall."
Ling Feng explained.
"Oh, that's it. Since the elder summoned us, let's go." Shi Mu said.
Ling Feng nodded.
The two walked out of the mansion, turned into two escaping lights, and flew side by side towards the Xuanling Pagoda.
A moment later, the two figures appeared in front of a vermilion hall.
There is a red plaque hanging high above the main hall, with three large characters written in gold lacquer on it: "Green and Yellow Hall."
The two came to the entrance of the palace. Ling Feng straightened his clothes and said respectfully:
"Elder Mo, Junior Brother Shi has been brought here."
"Come in." A gentle voice sounded.
Shi Mu followed Ling Feng into the main hall, and felt a very pleasant fragrance assail his nostrils. His eyes suddenly opened up, and it looked like an elegantly arranged garden, with a dazzling array of exotic plants and flowers.
Shi Mu regained his composure and saw not far away, a white-haired old man in a black monk's robe, facing them sideways, holding a black pottery shower head and pouring water on a pot of blue orchid on the table.
"Meet Elder Mo." Shi Mu bowed and said.
"Haha, here we come, let's sit down and talk." As he spoke, the white-haired old man turned around, showing a kind-hearted face, and said with a smile.
Shi Mu saw Ling Feng sitting on the side and actually sat down on a chair on the right side of the hall, so he also sat down generously below it.
"You are Shi Mu. This may be your first time meeting me. I have been ordered by the Holy Lord to take charge of all affairs of the century-old disciples. However, I really don't like to manage these mundane affairs. Fortunately, there are Ling Feng and other deacons.
You handle it for me, so I rarely show my face in front of you." Elder Mo said with a smile.
"Disciple did not know this place before." Shi Mu said.
"Haha, let's get back to the subject. In the past thousand years, you are the only person who has passed the test of the Illusion Demonic Way and advanced to become a thousand-year disciple ahead of schedule. I have recruited you here, on the one hand, to inform you of some things about entering the second level of the Holy Land, and on the other hand, I have invited you here.
On the one hand, I also want to meet you, the leader of the younger generation." Elder Mo said.
"The elder has given such ridiculous praise, I am ashamed of myself." Shi Mu said.
"Haha, those who can pass the test of the fantasy demon path deserve this praise." Elder Mo said.
As he spoke, he waved his arm, and a blue light slowly emerged and floated in front of Shi Mu.
Seeing this, Shi Mu quickly stretched out his hands to catch it.
But the blue light dissipated, revealing a blue robe.
He glanced at the robe and found that there were two lifelike green leaves embroidered on the left side of the chest. The rest of the robe was no different from the costumes worn by centuries-old disciples.
