The Portal of Wonderland

After a while of dizziness, Shi Mu suddenly opened his eyes and found that he had returned to the cave of the secret realm.

He stared at the front in a daze. Although he had returned to reality, he was still in a daze after experiencing everything in the illusion, and his mood could not be calm for a long time.

Shi Mu shook his head, exhaled lightly, and calmed down, then looked around and raised his brows slightly.

Everything else in the cave has not changed at all. It seems that many years have passed in the illusion, but in fact it has only passed for a moment.

However, the figure of the ancestor of the white ape disappeared without a trace.

Shi Mu frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

Until now, he still doesn't understand, what is the meaning of the illusion just now?

He originally planned to ask the ancestor of the white ape, but he suddenly disappeared.

Shi Mu pondered for a while, and thought about it again for a while, but still had no idea, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He checked the situation in his body with his spiritual sense, his face was startled, and then a look of great joy appeared.

Before he knew it, the zhenqi in his body had increased a lot, but the zhenqi was circulating in the body, constantly impacting everywhere in the body, obviously a little unstable.

Shi Mu took a deep breath, and with a reminder in his mind, he began to operate the exercises.

boom!

As soon as he practiced the exercises, the true energy in his limbs and bones immediately flowed by itself, rushing towards the spiritual sea, with a faint tendency to condense.

Shi Mu was overjoyed, this was a sign that he was starting to attack the gods!

He hastily closed his eyes and performed the exercises, the dazzling light shone, covering his body inside, and the entire interior of the cave was illuminated like daytime.

Time passed bit by bit, a full half a day passed, the light on Shi Mu's body gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared without a trace.

He opened his eyes, but there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.

This time, the assault on the divine realm ended in failure.

Shi Mu sighed, looked at the box in front of him, there were still six half-moon fruits lying quietly inside, and his spirit was shocked.

It's really not that easy to break through the bottleneck of the divine realm, but fortunately there are still six half-moon divine fruits here.

He muttered to himself somewhat mockingly, then reached out and picked up the second Moon God Fruit.

The moment his teeth gnawed through the peel, a gust of cool juice overflowed his cheeks. Shi Mu only felt his consciousness blurred for a while, and soon he sank into it in a strange fragrance.

...

After a long while, Shi Mu slowly opened his eyes, moved his body slightly, but found that his hands and feet were all empty, and at this moment he was floating in mid-air like a spirit body.

With the first experience, he no longer feels uncomfortable in the current situation.

Below him was a luxuriant garden, shrouded in the dark and moonless night, which looked a little lonely.

Looking around, he found that the surrounding area was full of scattered shrubs and trees, and the environment was very quiet. Except for the occasional low chirping of insects, there was no other sound.

call……

When a gust of wind blew, a clump of plantains swayed from side to side, and Shi Mu, who was floating in mid-air, couldn't help but feel a bit of coolness.

His eyes lingered in the garden for a moment, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart. He felt that the environment here seemed a little familiar.

What exactly is this place?

When Shi Mu was trying to remember, he suddenly heard a vague voice coming from the other side of the garden.

He followed the prestige, and saw a large building with warm yellow lights, and the rustling voice came from there.

Shi Mu swung his arms and floated, drifting towards the building.

When he came to the gate of the palace, Shi Mu felt a distinct warmth, floating on the top of the gate, and looked down into the palace.

There was a round sandalwood table inside, and a young man and woman were sitting opposite each other, holding teacups and talking to each other.

The girl's skin was as fine as snow, and her face was delicate and pretty. Under the white dress, a pair of golden lotus bare feet were exposed, and the two strings of bells on it rang lightly twice from time to time following her tiny movements.

Ximen Xue... Shi Mu was stunned for a moment.

He settled down, and when he moved his eyes again, he saw a strong young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but it was himself sitting opposite Ximen Xue.

It's just that him, although his facial features are roughly similar to his current self, but his brows look a little more green, and his expression also looks a little unnatural.

This is...before the Immortal Ascension Conference. Shi Mu suddenly realized, and muttered to himself.

While he was thinking about it, he heard the young man Shi Mu looking at Ximenxue affectionately, and said, Senior Sister Xue, I like you.

...you'd better forget about me and what happened back then. This time, I am determined to win the Ascension Ceremony. After a moment of silence, Ximenxue opened her mouth quietly.

This was exactly the conversation that Shi Mu had with Ximen Xue when he met Ximen Xue before the Immortal Ascension Conference.

He floated into the house and looked at the two people who fell silent in the living room.

Senior Sister Xue, after meeting you this time, will we have a chance to meet again in the future?

Suddenly, the young man Shi Mu said this.

Shi Mu looked at himself at that time, and sighed in his heart. He still remembered Ximen Xue's answer, and he also knew that the self at that time was not enough to keep Ximen Xue.

It's just that he doesn't understand why he took the Moon God Fruit and brought him back here?

Looking at Ximen Xue's beautiful face, Shi Mu couldn't help but recall the scene when the two met in the forest for the first time, and recalled the oath he had made at that time, and couldn't help but feel dazed for a while.

Was it really right to let her ascend to immortality and leave?

The young Shi Mu and Ximen Xue continued to talk, and the voices of each word reached Shi Mu's ears, and they became a little illusory.

Gradually, he couldn't hear the words of the two, and only the voice echoed repeatedly in his mind:

Is it really right to let her ascend to immortality and leave?

Is it really right?

...

Shi Mu, thank you. Let's go to the garden for a walk. You have just entered the innate realm not long ago. If you have any questions about cultivation, I can help you answer one or two questions. You don't know yet, senior sister, I am also a martial artist Double cultivation. Ximen Xue put down the teacup in her hand and stood up.

Hearing this sound, Shi Mu came back to his senses and looked down.

I saw that I had already followed Ximenxue out of the palace gate and walked outside.

Shi Mu got short, then flew out from the gate of the palace, and followed.

I saw the two people turning around the carefully manicured winding path in the garden and walking slowly among the bushes.

Senior Sister Xue, can you tell me why you must participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference? the young man Shi Mu asked.

After hearing this, Ximen Xue's face was slightly strange, and after a long silence, she said: Shi Mu, have you ever felt that your fate is not mine, and you can't help yourself?

The young man Shi Mu fell silent after hearing this.

Shi Mu floated above the heads of the two, but he couldn't help but fell into thinking.

Starting from that remote small fishing village in Daqi State, Shi Mu has not been able to go all the way, but every step he takes is his own choice. Although there are many regrets and helplessness, it seems that there has been no The kind of time when you can't grasp it at all.

No. The young man Shi Mu shook his head and said.

My hometown is in the north of Xiaolan Mountain in the Great Qin State. Since I was born, I have no father or mother. I was raised by my uncles and aunts. When I was seven years old, they sold me to a theater troupe to be a handyman. I wandered all the way with the theater troupe in the Great Qin Kingdom, doing the dirtiest and tiring work, eating the least and worst food, always being careful, and not daring to get sick at all. Because once I get sick, I will be abandoned by the theater troupe. Will waste money to treat my illness. Even so, after arriving in the territory of Daqi, I accidentally fell ill. When I was dying, I was thrown by the side of the road by the master of the troupe to wait for death. Fortunately, at that time I met my master, she saved me, brought me back to the sect, and taught me spells, so I have the current Tianyin girl. Ximenxue told her past experience in a few words, her expression Although indifferent, Shi Mu is very clear that behind this is countless hardships and sufferings.

It is precisely because of being able to understand these things that Shi Mu did not insist on preventing Ximen Xue from participating in the Immortal Ascension Conference.

The young man Shi Mu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Although I was only ten years old at that time, I already understood that if I want to control my own destiny and not be abandoned, I must become a strong person who can control my own destiny. Now it is up to me to ascend to the fairy world. There is a smooth road ahead. Moreover, Master and her old man's lifelong long-cherished wish is to be able to fly to the fairyland and see the scenery at a higher place, and I have the responsibility to fulfill it for her. Ximenxue continued.

Senior Sister Xue, I understand. The young man Shi Mu said in a low voice.

So the two stopped talking and walked side by side in silence.

Patta

A drop of rain fell from the lead cloud of the night, hitting the forehead of the young man Shi Mu, splashing a crystal spray.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of rusting became louder and louder, and the light rain covered the entire sky.

Shi Mu floated in mid-air, and thousands of crystal rain lines passed through his body, but he didn't feel it at all, he just lowered his head and looked at the two people below him.

Those two walked slowly in the light rain, they didn't use spells to avoid the rain, and they didn't leave quickly. Instead, they kept their original pace and walked slowly in the garden.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the gate of the garden.

Ximenxue's white clothes were completely attached to her body, making her exquisite and undulating even more.

I have benefited a lot from listening to my senior sister today. Senior sister really deserves to be a genius of our Three Kingdoms and Seven Sects. The young man Shi Mu said these words, but his eyes avoided Ximen Xue's body intentionally or unintentionally.

Ximen Xue also noticed his embarrassment, but she didn't care much, she just said: Shi Mu, you are too modest, when senior sister is about your age, she will definitely not be able to escape in front of earth-level warriors.

Shi Mu floated above the two of them, looking at them with tight brows, with a complex look on his face.

He knew it was time to part.

Senior Sister Xue stay here, I hope she will advance to the heavenly position soon. Finally, the young man Shi Mu still said these words.

Shi Mu, goodbye by fate... Don't forget what you promised me. Ximen Xue brushed the hair hanging from her forehead and said with a sweet smile.

Shi Mu looked down at Ximenxue from above, seeing her every frown and smile, felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

He knew that the so-called Immortal Ascension Conference was a complete conspiracy, and once Ximenxue ascended to immortality, he would be under the command of the Heavenly Court. In the future, although the two will get closer in strength and realm, there will be some intersections, but it is inevitable Contradicting each other, going further and further apart.
