Chapter 557: The Last Step

"That's it, you just went through the tempering of illusions, and it's a first-time offense, so don't take it as an example. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info well, go back and recuperate. Yue Protector flicked his sleeves and said.

"Thank you Yue Protector, the disciple retired. Shi Mu was pardoned, turned around and walked out of the Hall of Illusions.

After coming out of the Xuanling Pagoda, Shi Mu exhaled a long breath from the sky, and then the light on his body brightened, and he turned into a red streamer and fled away.

A moment later, the red light fell again, and as soon as the light flickered, his figure fell on his mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Qi Feng was ordering something with a few servants, and when he saw Shi Mu, he hurriedly walked over, bowed his hand to him, and said respectfully:

"Mansion Master, you're back!"

"Hmm. ”

Shi Mu answered casually, then said no more, and walked towards the direction of the main house with his feet raised.

Before he took a few steps, Shi Mu heard Cai'er's figure ringing in his ears:

"Stone, you're back so soon?

Cai'er came out of nowhere, flapping her wings and landing on Shi Mu's shoulder.

Shi Mu thought for a while before slowly nodding.

"What's wrong with you, why do I think you're a little unrelenting? Is there some peerless beauty in the Illusion Demon Dao that has hooked your soul?" Cai'er tilted her neck and glanced at Shi Mu, and quipped.

Shi Mu was stunned for a moment, and then as if he remembered something, he grabbed Cai'er and put it in front of him to look at it carefully.

Cai'er's two wings were grabbed by Shi Mu in his hands, and he shouted in fear:

"Stone, what are you going to do to me......?" Cai'er's meat is not delicious......"

When Shi Mu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, threw Cai'er out, and strode towards the main house.

......

Following.

The news that Shi Mu had passed the test of the Illusion Demon Dao and obtained the qualification of being promoted to a thousand-year disciple quickly spread throughout the entire Yellow Rank region.

Shi Mu became famous for a while, and he was in the limelight, even overshadowing Zhao Jian, who was taken away by the Holy Lord of Qinglan.

In the next few days, disciples who were familiar with him in the past, such as Qing Changtian, Ma Long, Ziling and other disciples, came to congratulate each other, and some people who had not had much intersection in the past actually came to make friends with him, and even the top ten people on the Qinglan list also brought heavy gifts to Shimu Mansion.

Shi Mu didn't like this kind of entertainment, except for those who knew each other and would receive them in person, those who didn't know each other would not be able to turn them away, and leave them to Qi Feng to deal with.

After many times, Shi Mu was embarrassed to always avoid it, and occasionally socialized, and he made a lot of friends after coming and going.

......

Half a month later, it was the official date for Shi Mu to be promoted to a thousand-year-old disciple, and all his new friends came to see him off.

For a time, nearly 100 people gathered in front of the Xuanling Pagoda.

"Brother Shi, after becoming a thousand-year-old disciple, don't forget about us, come back and walk around in your spare time. Qing Changtian said with a smile.

"Brother Shi, you must come back to see us often. Malone said.

"That's ...... nature," Shi Mu said with a smile.

Before Shi Mu finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual power, and he hurriedly raised his head and looked into the sky.

I saw that above everyone's heads, the sky that was originally white clouds floating in the blue sky suddenly cracked a huge black opening, and a huge dragon claw covered with golden scales poked out of it.

Shi Mu's heart froze, and he felt that there was a familiar aura coming from the dragon's claws.

"What's that?"

Just as everyone was exclaiming, the huge dragon claw slashed, and the crack expanded in an instant, and then a huge nine-headed golden Jiao with a body of more than 100 zhang suddenly poked out of it, and the nine huge heads let out a long roar at everyone.

"Whew......"

After the nine golden Jiao roared, the golden light all around his body shone brightly, and his body quickly became smaller in the golden light, turning into a tall man in a golden robe.

"Shi Muxiao'er, this time, old man, see how you can escape?" the golden-robed man shouted coldly.

"Ao Zu......" Shi Mu gritted his teeth and said.

"The old man is here today, just to find the revenge of this son and one person, and he has nothing to do with others, so the idle people get out of here as soon as possible!" Ao Zu, the golden-robed man, shouted, and the majestic aura of the Saint-level powerhouse on his body instantly surged out, and an indescribable violent coercion swept towards everyone.

"Holy ...... Holy Rank Powerhouse...... Flee!" The faces of the people were shocked when they saw this.

"Brother Shi, this person is definitely not something we can compete with, if you can escape, run away quickly!" After Qing Changtian finished speaking, the blue light on his body flashed, and he actually ran away first.

"Brother Shi, little sister, my strength is meager, so I left first. As soon as Ma Long said that, he turned into a ray of light and flew away.

"Brother Shi take care!" Ziling said, the purple light on her body lit up, and her figure disappeared.

In just a moment, there was no one left of the more than 100 people who were originally around him, and all of them were gone, and Ao Zu turned a blind eye to the escape of these people, just staring at Shi Mu.

Shi Mu's face was calm, he didn't feel a little lost, and the look in his eyes dimmed a little.

"Stone, even if everyone leaves you, I won't leave, I want to fight side by side with you!" At this moment, Cai'er, who had been standing on Shi Mu's shoulder, suddenly waved her wings and said to Shi Mu.

Shi Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, the light in his eyes suddenly became a little bigger, and as soon as he opened his mouth to spit out, he took out the Ruyi iron rod and held it tightly in the palm of his hand.

"Ao Zu old thief, come on, you and I will finish today!"

He snapped, waved his arm, and the black light of the wishful stick in his hand was released, and bursts of white air flowed around him.

It swept sharply from left to right, and a black stick shadow the size of dozens of zhang cut through the void, emitting a terrifying piercing scream, and attacked Ao Zu.

"Carving insect skills!" Ao Zu said disdainfully.

With one hand, it bent its fingers into a claw, and suddenly leaned out towards Shi Mu, and a huge golden dragon claw broke through the air in mid-air, directly smashing the huge stick shadow.

The golden dragon claws continued to poke down unabated, grabbing towards Shi Mu.

Shi Mu's expression remained unchanged, and with a roll of the long stick in his hand, several white tornadoes suddenly slammed upward, directly bombarding the golden dragon claws, but they were scattered in one go, only causing the dragon claws to fall slightly sluggish.

He took the opportunity to jerk his toes and stepped back.

At this moment, the golden dragon claws suddenly burst into golden light, appearing on top of Shi Mu's head like a teleportation, and pressed him to the ground.

"Boom!"

After an earth-shattering bang, the ground beneath Shi Mu suddenly cracked into hundreds of cracks, the largest of which actually extended directly to the top of the white tower.

"Poof"

Shi Mu's head tilted, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his body was held down by the dragon's claws, and although he was holding the Ruyi iron rod tightly in his hand, he was powerless to swing it.

"Stone!" Cai'er flew down beside him, a little miserable and wailing.

"You run away......" Shi Mu gritted his teeth and spit out a few words.

"I ...... I don't run away! Stone, I see that you are in a catastrophe this time, we are the two masters, you treat me well, I will accompany you to death!" Cai'er said in a resolute tone.

"You...... Well, since you want to die with me so much, then I'll give you a ride. Shi Mu's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said.

I saw that the light on his body suddenly brightened, and the firelight surged, and as soon as the red ape law appeared, he let out an angry roar, and his thick arms rose upward, pushing the golden dragon claw away a few points.

Shi Mu turned over, and the black light on the Ruyi stick in his hand flashed, and he swung it down and smashed it heavily on Cai'er.

There was a muffled "bang".

Cai'er's body suddenly burst into a ball of blood.

"Ah...... Stone, why!" Cai'er asked, with blood all over her feathers.

"If it's really Cai'er, although its cultivation is low, before the danger comes, it will definitely find something, and it will definitely be the first to escape. However, when Jin Jiao appeared just now, you didn't have any vigilance, and at this moment, you actually said that you wanted to live and die with me? Not to mention that the Qinglan Saint Realm was extraordinary, how could you tear the rift so easily?" Shi Mu said.

"Truly...... Unexpectedly, you don't even believe in the spirit pet who gets along with you day and night. Cai'er suddenly let out a strange laugh and said.

"You're wrong, it's because I believe in Cai'er that I don't believe you. Shi Mu said, his face froze, and a raging flame suddenly burned on the black long stick, and then it suddenly fell down.

Cai'er was hit by Shi Mu's stick, and it immediately dissipated into a puff of black smoke.

Shi Mu looked up at the golden-robed Ao Zu suspended in the air, and at this moment, it also collapsed and dispersed, turning into a cloud of black mist, and the surrounding trees, hills, and even the Xuanling Pagoda also dissipated.

Immediately afterward, a black mist surged up all around, obscuring the surrounding space again.

Shi Mu's eyes flickered, and he found that the black crystal path appeared under his feet again.

In the following time, every time he took a step forward in the illusion path, he would fall into an illusion.

These illusions are all closely related to his past memories, and the old people in the past, such as Jin Xiaochai, Aunt Zhen, and even Liu An and others are presented in the illusion one by one.

These illusions are very real, and the content of the illusion often points directly to the weakness of his heart, even with Shi Mu's mind, he is often unconsciously trapped in it, unable to distinguish between the real and the unreal, and has almost completely sunk into it several times.

Fortunately, he relied on his strong will and a little understanding that often walked between life and death, and he woke up at the last moment and broke through step by step.

I don't know how long it took, the scenery in front of Shi Mu's eyes flickered, and he once again broke through an illusion and returned to the Black Crystal Path.

At this moment, the fog around it was thick, and it was impossible to see anything except the soles of the feet.

"The last step!"

Shi Mu exhaled lightly, closed his eyes and breathed for a while, and muttered in his mouth.

Every time he experienced a fantasy, he faintly felt that the will in his heart was a little stronger, as if Fan Tie had been tempered again and again and became more tenacious.

He took a deep breath and continued to take a step forward.

However, as soon as this step was taken, a white light suddenly burst out in front of the black path, and a white light gate appeared out of thin air. (To be continued.) )
