The Portal of Wonderland

I made Fellow Daoist Shi wait for a long time.

As Master Gongxi said, he took out an exquisite wooden box and handed it over.

Shi Mu reached out to take it, and took out a crimson leather glove from the wooden box. The texture of the tentacles was quite soft, and small rune patterns could be faintly seen on it. There were five golden lines connecting the fingertips to the bottom of the glove. Form a golden rune.

He put the glove on his left hand, the golden rune on the glove flashed, and an inexplicable force acted on Shi Mu's left hand.

The chaotic and violent spiritual power in the left hand was immediately smoothed out, as if a seal had been imposed on the outside.

Shi Mu was overjoyed and moved his left hand without any inconvenience.

In addition to the power of sealing, the leather of the Salamander is also very tough. I strengthened it with a special method, and the toughness of this glove has been greatly increased. You can use it with confidence in the future, said the old man in black robe.

Thank you, Master Gongxi. Shi Mu said with joy in his heart, cupping his hands.

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Mu left Xianhuoju and returned to the lava pool of Heiyan Mountain. After a short rest, he activated the Enriched Fire Formation and continued to practice.

A month later, in the lava pool.

Shi Mu's whole body was wrapped in red light, forming the appearance of a huge cocoon.

The red silk cocoon suddenly lit up, and the rays of light converged and merged into Shi Mu's body.

Shi Mu opened his eyes and frowned.

In the past month, he has been practicing hard, but for some reason, the Nine Turns Mysterious Art has not made any progress, and has completely stagnated.

How could this happen? Shi Mu couldn't understand it. This situation has never happened in the past three years.

Could it be because the flame here is not strong enough? No, it shouldn't be the reason. Shi Mu guessed in his mind, but quickly denied this idea.

With the blessing of the fire-filled formation transformed by the Huoyanjing, the intensity of the fire-attribute aura here has reached a very frightening level, which can fully meet the needs of the nine-turn Xuangong and one-turn.

In this way, the reason can only come from oneself.

Shi Mu closed his eyes, and silently recited the first level of the Nine Turns Mysterious Kungfu from beginning to end.

Could it be that there is not enough essence and blood of the heavenly beast in my body! He opened his eyes suddenly, thinking of a possibility.

According to Xiao Jiu Zhuan Xuan Gong's skill description, cultivating part of the physical body requires incorporation of the blood essence of heavenly beasts in the body. Although the amount of blood mist he inhaled from the incense beads at the beginning is not known, but now it seems that it should not be enough Support him to complete this first round of cultivation.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

Since this white ape appeared in Lingtian Peak in the dream and was admired by other monster clans, it seems that it is undoubtedly the White Ape King circulated among the monster clans of Xihe Continent.

He didn't know much about the Nine-Turn Mysterious Art before, but now he has the power to shatter the void when he has practiced for the first time, and the white ape in the dream is a heavenly beast. I can't compare it to myself. In this way, it makes sense to lead the monsters to sweep the Xihe road and force the barbarians to huddle in the eastern part of the mainland.

He has been wanting to go to Lingtian Peak all these years, originally in order to further trigger the dream and find some other magical powers such as the moon-swallowing style and the sun-absorbing style, so as to quickly improve his strength.

Now that there is a clear goal of the Nine-Turn Mysterious Art, the most urgent task is to find more white ape blood essence to complete the first level of the Nine-Turn Mysterious Art.

It's just that Shi Mu has no idea where to find the blood of the white ape.

Apart from guessing that the white ape was a celestial beast, his eyes were completely black.

correct!

Shi Mu suddenly thought of something, flipped his hand and took out the map of Xihe Continent, looking at a sharp area somewhere on the map, that was Ling Tianfeng.

Now that he knew that the white ape had haunted Lingtian Peak, if he went there to try his luck, he might be able to find some other clues and get more information about the white ape.

Shi Mu stared intently at the pointed corner, and became a little dazed.

Suddenly, there was a whirlwind in front of my eyes.

The next moment, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and Shi Mu found himself in an unknown valley.

He immediately realized that he had become the body of the white ape again, and he could not control his actions.

Before I knew it, I fell into a dream again.

It was night at this moment, and the surroundings were deadly silent, and occasionally the sound of gurgling water from around the valley could be heard.

In midair, a faint moonlight poured down from midair, outlining a somewhat blurred scene.

The valley was already full of strange rocks, but under the cover of the night and the moonlight, those strange rocks seemed to be alive, and they looked hideous.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound from all around, and then four black shadows rushed out almost silently. Judging from the appearance, there were apes, giant bears, red foxes, and bulls. Yaozu.

These monster tribes seemed to be headed by the white ape, and they all bowed down in front of the white ape, and said something respectfully.

The white ape pondered for a while, and rushed towards Taniguchi without saying a word.

Seeing this, the other four monster races followed closely.

Soon, they passed through a jungle and came to a towering mountain peak.

This peak is as high as 10,000 zhang, and the mountain is steep, like a smooth stone pillar reaching the sky, it looks majestic.

Shi Mu was stunned, this peak was indeed the famous Ling Tian Peak.

The white ape led the four monsters around the mountain peak and stopped in front of a certain cliff.

But when he turned his hand and took out a dark red spar, and murmured something in his mouth, the surface of the spar in his hand suddenly radiated light, and a beam of light shot out from it, falling on the cliff in front of him.

There was a roar on the cliff, and a cave was actually revealed.

The white ape led all the beasts in, walked through a winding and damp path, and suddenly became enlightened. A huge space with hundreds of feet in size appeared in front of him. It may have been closed for a long time, and the space emitted bursts of damp stench.

In the center of this space, there are twelve huge gray stone pillars, each with a diameter of Zhang Xu.

On the surrounding cliffs, a bronze lamp was placed at intervals. With a wave of the white ape, bursts of white fireflies burst out from the lamp, illuminating the entire space at once.

Their vision suddenly brightened in the darkness, and they saw clearly that each of the twelve gray stone pillars was engraved with a lifelike monster pattern, and there were twelve different kinds of monsters in the twelve stone pillars. Under the light of the white fireflies, it looked a little hideous and terrifying.

The Giant Bear Monster Clan couldn't bear their curiosity, and reached out to touch one of the griffin-like statues, and the statue let out a low whimpering sound in an instant.

Bai Yuan frowned slightly, and immediately pulled away the monster, and quickly cast a spell.

In an instant, there were bursts of shimmering light on the stone pillar, and the griffin seemed to be covered with a transparent light curtain. The griffin in the light curtain gradually calmed down and returned to normal.

The white ape glared at the giant bear monsters fiercely, and then said something to them. All the monsters were shocked, and no one dared to touch these statues at will.

The white ape led the four monsters around the stone pillar, entered through the passage on the side of the space, and after a while of twists and turns, came to a secret room.

The secret room is not big, only twenty or thirty feet in size, but in the center of the roof, there is a white as jade stone door, carved out of some kind of stone, and the surface emits a warm light.

The white ape turned his hand and took out a token, and waved it towards the stone gate, which slowly opened.

The white ape raised one hand without saying a word, and a roll of golden light flew out, wrapped around the four monster clans, turned into a golden rainbow and flew into the stone gate.

Shi Mu only felt a golden light flash in front of his eyes, and the next moment, he appeared in a huge hall.

In the center of the hall, there is a golden altar, engraved with circles of profound and incomparable spirit patterns on the surface.

The white ape walked to the altar, and took out a boxy wooden box from somewhere on his body. The box seemed to be made of ebony, and under the light of the white fireflies, it was black and shiny.

It put the box in the center of the altar, and whispered a few words to the four monsters.

The four monsters nodded one after another, sitting cross-legged around the altar, chanting words, as if they were casting spells.

The next moment, the spirit patterns on the surface of the altar blazed brightly, densely packed runes emerged, and slowly rotated around the wooden box.

The four monsters suddenly opened their mouths and spewed out a mouthful of blood essence. The blood circled and intertwined above the box, and gradually merged to form a bloody ring, which was directly pressed against the box.

The moment the bloody circle was pressed down, the wooden box trembled violently for some reason, as if something was about to escape from it.

The expressions of the four monsters sitting cross-legged around changed drastically, and they were a little at a loss.

Seeing this, the white ape raised an arm, and a red light shot out from the fingertips. It was a drop of blood essence, which fell on the wooden box in a flash, and spun rapidly.

A large piece of golden light sprinkled down from the whirling blood essence, and the wooden box was bathed in the golden light, and finally gradually subsided.

The white ape let out a loud roar, and the surrounding four demon clansmen turned serious and sped up their spellcasting.

The rotation range of the runes that emerged on the surface of the altar became smaller and smaller, and finally attached to the wooden box. With a flash of light, the wooden box disappeared in place.

At the same time, the blood essence of the white ape that was spinning on the wooden box stopped spinning, and fell down in a flash, turning into a crystal blood jade the size of a thumb, inlaid in the center of the altar, emitting a bloody light.

Shi Mu's body shook and he woke up from the dream.

He was stunned for a moment, with an overjoyed look on his face.

If he was really sleepy, someone would give him a pillow, and there was actually a drop of blood left by the white ape in Ling Tian Peak.

In this way, Ling Tianfeng is imperative.

It's just that it's the Holy Land of the Monster Race. Although he has advanced to the lower level now, if he doesn't have the cover of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce and approaches rashly, I'm afraid it will still be very risky.

Shi Mu pondered for a while, then turned his hand and took out something, it was Yu Yi's Primordial Spirit Bead, and shot a ray of light into the bead.

Half an hour later, Yu Yi came to the lava pool.

Brother Shi, you summoned me, what's the matter? Yu Yi saluted Shi Mu respectfully.

Do you still have contact with those monster races that have traded with you? Shi Mu asked.

There are a few who have a good relationship with me. Yu Yi replied.

Have you heard anything about Ling Tianfeng from these people? Shi Mu asked.

I don't know what kind of information Brother Shi wants to know? Yu Yi was slightly startled, but then said.

The guard situation around Ling Tianfeng. Shi Mu looked at Yu Yi with piercing eyes, and said.

As far as I know, Lingtian Peak is jointly guarded by the three major clans of the Monster Clan, the Moon Bear, the Sky Fox, and the Cang Ape. The defenses are extremely strict on weekdays, and outsiders cannot enter at all. Moreover, there is a Heavenly Rank Monster King stationed in the peak all the year round. It is extremely difficult to get in, basically impossible. Yu Yi pondered for a while and said in a low voice. (To be continued.)
