Shi Mu's figure passed directly through the waterfall and landed in the cave.
This place is the same as when I first entered, without any change, as if everything that happened outside the waterfall before has nothing to do with this place.
Shi Mu calmed down and looked forward.
On the stone platform, the golden box was still placed there upright, with a faint golden light emitting from the surface.
Shi Mu showed a hint of excitement on his face and walked forward.
At this moment, there was a flash of void in mid-air, and a golden and white translucent shadow emerged.
Shi Mu was startled for a moment, then he raised his hands and saluted: "Greetings, ancestor!"
The person who appeared was none other than the White Ape Ancestor, looking at him with a smile.
"Very good, you have awakened your bloodline." White Ape Ancestor said.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life." Shi Mu smiled.
"You passed the trial, it's time to hand over the rest of the things here to you." The White Ape Ancestor waved his hand, and the golden box slowly opened.
Shi Mu held his breath subconsciously, and opened the lid of the box completely. Inside were three jade boxes of about the same size, in green, blue, and red colors.
He raised his head with some confusion and looked at the White Ape Ancestor.
"These things are all yours, no need to be polite, just take them out," said the White Ape Ancestor.
Shi Mu nodded and took out all three jade boxes.
"You can use the things in the green jade box just right now," said the White Ape Ancestor.
Shi Mu followed the instructions and picked up the green jade box and removed the lid. Immediately, the box emitted a bright green light, and at the same time, a strange smell emanated from the fruit and hit his nostrils.
He was slightly startled and looked intently. There were eight green fruits lying in the box. Each fruit was only the size of a baby's fist, and the whole body was emitting a faint green light.
This light is like rolling mist, escaping from the fruit and floating gently above the box, from where the previous smell emanated.
Shi Mu sniffed the smell and suddenly felt dazed. He quickly shook his head and then woke up.
After careful inspection, he discovered that there were not eight fruits in the box. To be precise, there should be seven and a half.
Because a large bite had obviously been taken off the surface of the eighth fruit, leaving less than two-thirds of it.
He raised his head and asked: "Ancestor, what kind of fruit is this?"
"This thing is called the Moon God Fruit, and it is very helpful for advancing to the divine realm." said the White Ape Ancestor.
"This is the Moon God Fruit that is said to contain one of the three thousand avenues of heaven and earth. If a person at the peak of the Saint level can take one, he can hope to achieve enlightenment and advance to the divine realm!" Shi Mu was startled at first, and then said in surprise.
.
He has heard about the Moon God Fruit for a long time.
The original purpose of the exploratory trip to the three major holy places in the Miyang Star Region to explore the Cangyue Holy Land was to find the Moon Divine Fruit.
How could the White Ape Ancestor have this fruit, and there are seven and a half of them?
"Haha, it's not as magical as the rumors say. This Moon God Fruit can only increase the chance of advancing to the divine realm. Something that can advance to the divine realm by taking one does not exist in this world at all. Even if there is something that can
Things that force people to advance to the divine realm are not a good thing." The White Ape Ancestor shook his head and laughed.
"Can we only increase the probability?" Shi Mu frowned.
"Of course. Your talent is actually average, but there are seven complete Moon God Fruits here. I believe it will be of great help to you in enlightening yourself and becoming a god." said the White Ape Ancestor.
Shi Mu nodded after hearing the words, calmed down, and reached out to pick up a Moon God Fruit.
"Ancestor, what is the effect of this Moon God Fruit? Do I need to use my own Qi to cooperate?" He asked without taking it immediately.
"You will naturally understand its effects after taking it," said the White Ape Ancestor.
After hearing this, Shi Mu nodded and put the fruit into his mouth without hesitation.
The fruit melted in his mouth, turning into a stream of cool air that quickly blended into his body.
The next moment, Shi Mu felt that everything in front of him suddenly became blurry, and his mind became hazy, as if he had fallen into a dream.
He was shocked in his heart, and quickly mobilized the power of his consciousness to protect the sea of consciousness, trying his best to stay awake.
However, this hazy feeling was too strong, and with his current mental strength, he was completely unable to resist it. After a few breaths, he was completely lost.
I don't know how long it took, but Shi Mu's spirit slowly returned to clarity.
He shook his head hard, then looked around and found that the surrounding was a blue sky with white clouds moving slowly.
He was startled for a moment, then lowered his head and looked stunned.
At this moment, his entire body was translucent, standing in the air.
Below is a sparse wooden house built on the seaside, most of which look very dilapidated.
This should be a small fishing village.
It was noon at this moment, and the village was crowded with people, who seemed to be busy with their own tasks.
Most of these people's clothes are somewhat shabby, and the skin on their faces is black with reddish color due to being blown by the sea breeze for a long time.
At this moment, a commotion broke out among the villagers, but a gorgeously decorated carriage drove in from the entrance of the village and stopped outside a dilapidated wooden house under the gaze of many people.
People around him gradually gathered around, but they didn't dare to get too close. They pointed at the gorgeous carriage and cabin, and talked excitedly about something.
When Shi Mu saw this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
He was very familiar with the fishing village below. It was the remote hometown where he grew up, and the villagers in the distance were all his fellow villagers.
But those people didn't seem to see Shi Mu standing in the air at all.
He felt suddenly in a trance.
He clearly remembered that he should be in the secret realm of the giant ape clan at the moment. How could he suddenly appear in the fishing village?
"Could it be that after taking the Moon God Fruit, I fell into an illusion?" Shi Mu thought to himself.
"...The master is very ill this time and may not be able to survive. That's why my wife sent an old slave to pick up Master Shi so that I can see the master one last time."
At this moment, a slightly older voice came from the hut below.
In mid-air, Shi Mu's expression changed again, as if he remembered something, his body flew down, passed straight through the wooden house, and entered it.
Although he was a little surprised by this, he had no time to think about it at the moment.
In the wooden house, two figures were fighting against each other, one was an old man in a green shirt, and the other was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a gray shabby clothes, and the strong muscles on his body could be vaguely seen.
"This...I'm back to the past..." In mid-air, Shi Mu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Isn’t this thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy exactly who he was at that time?
However, neither the old man in green robe nor the young Shi Mu looked at Shi Mu, as if he did not exist.
Young Shi Mu clenched his fists, his eyes were full of coldness, and he said: "Since he has abandoned his mother for so many years, why should he come to recognize my son again now. Go back, I will not go to the Jin family with you."
"Ahem! I'm afraid Young Master Shi has misunderstood me. In fact, the reason why I haven't returned to the village in these years is because of my difficulties..." said the old man in green robe.
"Humph, even if you talk nonsense, you can't change that man's abandonment of his wife!" The young man Shi Mu coldly interrupted the old man in green robe.
In mid-air, Shi Mu looked at the young man below, Shi Mu, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
He didn't know why, but he could clearly feel what the young man was thinking in his heart.
Anger, sadness, annoyance and other emotions were continuously transmitted to Shi Mu's mind, which made him quite uncomfortable.
"How could this be?" Shi Mu secretly thought, and then used the power of his soul to quickly suppress the influence of these emotional fluctuations.
He looked around, with doubts in his eyes.
Why did the Moon God Fruit transform into this illusion, allowing me to return to the past and experience what happened back then again? Could this be the effect of the Moon God Fruit?
Shi Mu thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out any mystery, so he shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Below, the conversation between the young man himself and the old man in green robes continued, but Shi Mu was distracted for a moment and did not hear their conversation.
I don't know what the old man in green robe said, but most of the hatred conveyed by the young man Shi dissipated.
"...Master Shi, as a servant, I don't know much about the affairs between you and me, so I can't say much. It's just that I'm seriously ill and bedridden now. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you will never see each other again."
A chance to meet you." The old man in green robe said.
Young Shi Mu frowned and fell silent.
In mid-air, a look of surprise appeared on Shi Mu's face. The situation in front of him, for some reason, seemed a little different from before.
"Besides, I think your mother would also like you to see me for the last time." The old man in green robe continued.
The young man Shi Mu suddenly raised his head, and there seemed to be a flash of fire in his eyes.
The green-robed old man's eyes were calm, and it was clear that he had no other intention behind his words.
The dazzling light in young Shi Mu's eyes slowly faded and he sat down on the chair next to him.
In mid-air, Shi Mu looked at the young man himself, and he could clearly sense the struggle and hesitant thoughts in the young man's heart.
The old man in green robe waited for a long time, but young Shi Mu still said nothing.
"In that case, I will come back in three days, and Master Shi will give me an answer then." The old man in green robe sighed, turned around and walked away.
"Wait a minute." Young Shi Mu's eyes flashed, he stood up and said.
The old man in green robes suddenly stopped and turned around, his eyes filled with inquiry.
"I will go to Jin's house with you." Young Shi Mu said.
"Okay, great! I will definitely be very happy to see Master Shi." The old man in green robe was overjoyed and quickly walked out of the house and gave an order.
The carriage parked not far away suddenly stopped under the command of a knight in black.
Young Shi Mu was greeted respectfully by the old man in green robes and walked out of the room.
Seeing this, the surrounding fishing village villagers seemed to be talking a little louder.
After looking back, he took a deep breath, turned around and boarded the carriage neatly.
At the order of the old man in green robe, a group of people gathered around the carriage, and under the guidance of the villagers, they left the small fishing village and galloped forward along a thoroughfare.
