Chapter 112: The Sun and the Moon
"However, although you have now practiced the Nine Turns of Xuangong, your cultivation is not enough, if you go head-to-head with the Emperor, you will be at a disadvantage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Li Sheng changed his words and said.
"That's true, now I am still a long way from the White Ape Ancestor back then, but with my current cultivation, breaking through the bottleneck is not an overnight achievement, and now the situation is forced, time is not waiting ......for me," Shi Mu said, frowning.
"I have a way here, maybe it can help you break through the bottleneck, would you like to give it a try?" Li Sheng looked at Shi Mu and asked.
"What's the method?" Shi Mu hurriedly asked when he heard this.
"Open the passage of the underworld, attract the water of the Styx River to infuse the Qianyang Moon Shadow Array, and infuse all the thousands of years of Sun Essence and Moon Flower accumulated in the Cangyue Secret Realm into your body, or it may help you break through the shackles of cultivation in one fell swoop. Li Sheng said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.
"I'm willing to give it a try!" Shi Mu thought for a moment and said.
"Although this method is feasible, it also carries great risks, and I need to inform you first. Li Sheng said.
"What's at stake?" Shi Mu asked.
"Because of this Cangyue Ancient Tree, the Cangyue Secret Realm can absorb the Sun Essence and Moon Flower between heaven and earth to a great extent, and I can't predict how much energy it has accumulated over the past thousand years. Therefore, once this power breaks through the limit of what your body can bear, you have the possibility of exploding and dying. Li Sheng looked at Shi Mu and explained.
"It's okay, I'm willing to give it a try, and I hope that my predecessors will be successful. Shi Mu arched his hand and said confidently.
Now that he is immortal, he is still quite confident in his physical body's ability to withstand it, and he is not too worried.
"Well, if you have made up your mind, let me come. Li Sheng nodded with satisfaction and said.
He emerged from the palace with Shi Mu, through the ruins of buildings, to the edge of a flat verdant grassland.
Shi Mu glanced back in the direction of the palace, and saw that the huge canopy of the Cangyue Ancient Tree was still towering in the sky.
The grassland in front of you is slightly lower than the surrounding area, slightly basin-like, and the lower you go towards the center.
The grassland is more than ten miles in circumference, and knee-high weeds grow on it, which are verdant in color and look vibrant.
There are also a lot of ground elf grasses mixed with wild grasses, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, which is very refreshing.
Shi Mu's eyes swept over, and among these lush plants, he could also see white stone platforms, scattered among them.
These white stone platforms are knee-high, not too wide, and only a dozen zhang long, with a slight arc, distributed along the grassland topography in the form of a semi-ring, and are hidden in the grass.
Shi Mu looked at it for a while, and was secretly surprised in his heart.
These white stone platforms are surrounded by layers, and they faintly form a formation that can condense the vitality of heaven and earth, so that many elixirs have been born on this grassland.
Seeing Shi Mu's surprised face, Li Sheng smiled and led him towards the center of the grassland.
The center of the grassland is the lowest, and there is a circular stone platform with a radius of ten zhang, which is densely engraved with various runes, and many mottled cracks and dents eroded by wind and frost can be faintly seen.
Many of the cracks are dark green, but a lot of moss has grown.
At Li Sheng's signal, Shi Mu jumped up, landed on the stone platform, and sat down cross-legged.
"I personally preside over the big array, you just need to hold the Yuan Shouyi, and try your best to fuse the Sun Essence Moon Hua and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that merge into your body. Li Sheng instructed.
Shi Mu nodded, put his hands in front of him and sat with Yuan in his arms, and gradually entered a state of concentration.
Seeing this, Li Sheng's sleeve robe shook, and the whole person hung in the air, flying above Shi Mu, and with a wave of one hand, a red round mirror the size of eight palms flew out, hovering in the air.
The eight-sided round mirror is made of red copper, with many strange runes engraved on the mirror, and eight ugly beasts carved on the back.
Li Sheng looked at the eight bronze mirrors, interlocked his hands, played several strange formulas, and silently recited the mysterious formulas in his mouth.
With the sound of chanting like Sanskrit sounds, a red light lit up on the eight red copper round mirrors, and they connected towards the two adjacent round mirrors, forming a red ring with a radius of ten zhang.
A pitch-black curtain of light appeared in the ring, and eight ugly beast phantoms appeared one after another, roaring and huddling together, holding the small ring to the brim.
The eight beast phantoms struggled with each other, looking eager to rush out of the ring, and poked their heads out of the ring, but no matter how much they struggled, they were always bound by a force and could not break free.
After a few struggles, the eight-headed beast finally stopped forcibly rushing out, and instead rushed towards the dark light curtain inside.
With this rush, the pitch-black light curtain suddenly broke, revealing a long tunnel.
"Boom ......"
A loud sound like the roar of a group of beasts came from the tunnel, causing Shi Mu to open his eyes and look into the air.
I saw a red light surging in the ring surrounded by eight red copper round mirrors, and a blood-colored wave rushed out of it, falling down like a blood-colored waterfall.
"Bang la la"
The blood-colored waterfall rushed straight down and rushed into the grassland under Shi Mu, splashing a large red splash, and in a short time, most of the grassland was submerged in.
The verdant weeds were submerged in the blood-red water, swaying from side to side like aquatic weeds.
As the blood-colored waterfall continued to pour in, the water level on the grassland continued to rise, and soon submerged to the position of Shi Mu's chest.
Shi Mu only felt a chill all over his body, and there was an indescribable strange feeling coming from his body, as if all the pores on his body were stretched out in this cold water.
At this moment, Li Sheng suddenly had a bright light in his hands, and slapped it towards Shi Mu below.
Seeing this, Shi Mu was slightly shocked in his heart, but he still held back, did not resist, and did not flee.
I saw a piece of golden light sprinkled down and fell into the circular stone platform under Shi Mu's body.
"Boom"
The stone platform suddenly shook violently, and all kinds of runes engraved on it lit up with golden light, and golden light patterns flew out from the stone platform and flowed into the surrounding circular stone platform along the water.
I saw that the arc-shaped white stone platform was lit up by golden light patterns one after another, and they were lit up with golden brilliance.
"Bang la la"
The sound of water waves surging sounded, and the water surface around Shi Mu began to fluctuate violently.
On the huge curved stone platform, there were bursts of trembling sounds, and one after another, they rose from the bottom of the water and flew out.
The arc-shaped stone platform in the outermost layer rose very quickly, and after a while, it flew into the air at a height of 100 zhang.
A circle of arc-shaped stone platforms farther inward also flew into the air, but the position was slightly a few feet lower than that, and the further the inner arc-shaped stone platform, the lower the height of the rise.
Between these curved stone platforms, a large and irregular funnel is formed.
At the bottom of the funnel is the stone pasture and the circular stone platform that is still immersed in the red water.
Li Sheng saw that the Qianyang Moon Shadow Great Array had been activated, so his body moved and flew out of the range of the Great Array.
Shi Mu sat cross-legged on the round platform, the water of the Styx River around him had already submerged his head, submerging his whole body, and the entire grassland basin had become a small red lake.
The water of the River Styx was like flowing water, but in fact it was different, although Shi Mu was under the water, he did not feel any cramped discomfort, and he did not even breathe at all.
He opened his eyes and looked around, and saw the weeds at the bottom of the water, swaying gently to the rhythm of the waves.
Suddenly, a bright golden light lit up in the wild grass, which looked like fireflies, fluttered to Shi Mu's side, touched his arm, and disappeared into his body in a flash.
Shi Mu suddenly felt a burst of warmth seeping into his body along the pores, and he felt extremely comfortable.
Immediately afterwards, the bright light in the bottom of the water continued to light up, dotted and distributed, and it was really like the stars at night, reflecting the grassland in the water very beautifully.
Shi Mu looked at this strange scene, and only felt as if he was in a sea of stars.
There was a soft sound of "whew".
The stars in the water suddenly all moved under the surging of the water waves, like a flowing galaxy, surging towards Shi Mu.
I saw a cloud of light possessing Shi Mu's body, disappearing as if ice and snow melted, and all of them merged into his body.
A ray of light entering the body is warmth, and a thousand rays of light entering the body at the same time is not a pleasant feeling.
Countless golden rays of light poured into his body, instantly lighting up Shi Mu's body, reflecting his skin and bones as if they were transparent.
Shi Mu only felt as if his body was about to burn, and a roar of extreme pain came out of his mouth.
Li Sheng was outside the big array, and when he heard Shi Mu's roar, he couldn't help frowning.
His gaze was raised, and he looked at the curved stone platforms suspended in the sky with some concern, and saw that those stone platforms were shining with golden light, spinning leisurely.
At this moment, a "buzz" sound sounded.
The curved stone platforms suspended above suddenly trembled and stopped rotating, and the runes on them flickered brightly and dimly as if they had come to life.
In the entire Cangyue Secret Realm, there was a slight vibration all of a sudden, and the frequency was exactly the same as the flickering runes on the stone platform.
I saw the Cangyue Ancient Tree in the distance, the light on the huge crown flickered, and clusters of dazzling light spots were separated from it.
Immediately afterwards, there was a violent shock of the nearby heaven and earth vitality, and countless bright points of light emerged densely from the surrounding rocks and trees, and even in the white clouds in the sky, there were also little spots of light that continued to light up, falling down like snowflakes.
These ancient trees that have been used by Cangyue for thousands of years have absorbed the sun essence and moon flowers scattered throughout the Cangyue Secret Realm, and suddenly turned into little spots of light, and the arrangement filled the entire heaven and earth, and it seemed that there was no end in sight at a glance.
I saw these points of light, attracted by the Great Array of the Dry Sun Moon Shadow, and they all flew towards the funnel-shaped formation.
At first, the speed of the light spot was not very fast, but as more and more light poured into the formation, bursts of whistling began to sound in the entire Cangyue Secret Realm.
In the secret realm, there were rivers formed by the convergence of light points everywhere, surging and rushing into the formation, and then all of them merged into the blood-red lake.
At this moment, Shi Mu's body was extremely bright, but his eyes had been closed again, and he sat cross-legged on the stone platform at the bottom of the lake, and settled again.
With the continuous convergence of a little bit of light, the aura on Shi Mu's body also began to slowly rise, this growth was very weak, almost imperceptible, but it was constantly improving.
