"I had an agreement with her, and now that I have entered the innate realm, she will tell me her name. Shi Mu said.

"Remember, her name is Ximen Xue, don't call her any more Tianyin girl, it's just a name given to her by outsiders without permission. Jin Xiaochai frowned slightly and said.

"Ximen Xue......" Shi Mu's eyes lit up slightly.

This name is also quite suitable for the appearance and personality of the Tianyin girl, dressed in white like snow, looking like a fairy in the sky.

"What exactly is the Immortal Ascension Ceremony? and Tianyin...... What does Ximen Xue have to do with it?" Shi Mu asked again.

"The Immortal Ascension Ceremony is the first major sect of the Lushan Dynasty, Tongtian Immortal Sect, and it is held once every thirty years. Only those who have advanced to the innate realm before the age of thirty, or are star-level warlocks, and have outstanding qualifications, are eligible to participate under the recommendation of the sect. Jin Xiaochai said.

Shi Mu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, the conditions for signing up were so harsh.

However, it can also be seen from this that this immortal ascension ceremony is extraordinary.

"At the end of the ceremony, three men and three women will be selected and sent to a place called the Hall of Eternal Life for retreat, and the Tongtian Immortal Church will devote all its resources to cultivate them, and quickly push these people's cultivation to the ground level. It is rumored that since the Immortal Ascension Ceremony was held, all those who entered the Palace of Eternal Life for retreat did not appear again in the end, and it is said that they have all flown to the immortal realm and become immortals. Jin Xiaochai continued.

"Could it be ......" Shi Mu's heart tightened when he heard this, and he faintly had a hint of foreboding.

"Yes, she has decided to participate in this immortal ascension ceremony. Jin Xiaochai said word by word.

Although Shi Mu had some premonitions, after confirming it from Jin Xiaochai's mouth, there was still an indescribable taste in his heart.

"Xue'er has been determined to seek verification since she was a child, which is also the expectation of her teacher. With her qualifications and strength, I am afraid that it is also extremely rare in the center of the continent, and if she participates in the ceremony, she is very likely to be selected. Once you are chosen, you will really be completely separated from us, and you will never see each other again!" Jin Xiaochai looked at Shi Mu and said.

"That being the case. Then I will also cultivate to become an immortal and go to her!" Shi Mu's hands clenched subconsciously.

"What's so good about ascending to immortals? The so-called way of heaven is ruthless, and the path to immortality is slim, once you become an immortal. Heaven and man are forever separated, this is a road of no return, do you really think that you can be together after becoming immortals?" Jin Xiaochai sneered and said leisurely.

Shi Mu was speechless for a while.

"If you really like her. Then follow me to her now. Xue'er has a very assertive personality, and the things she decides will hardly change because of outsiders, but she seems to be a little strange to you, otherwise she wouldn't have made that agreement with you in the first place. Jin Xiaochai sighed lightly and said.

"I see, that's what you asked me to promise you in the first place. Well, no matter what your purpose is, we now have a goal, and that is to dissuade her from participating in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony. Shi Mu nodded.

"Xue'er is afraid that she has already set off for the Lushan Dynasty through the teleportation array now, and it is too late to return to Wanlong Mountain at this moment. The Immortal Ascension Conference was about the same time as our Heavenly Demon Sect's Demon Yang Ceremony. There is still more than a year to go. Let's go to Tianyu City, the capital of the Lushan Dynasty, to find Xue'er first, and then it's not too late to return to the Heavenly Demon Sect. However, as far as I know, the relationship between our Heavenly Demon Sect and the Tongtian Immortal Sect is a bit sensitive, and if our identities are discovered, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble, do you still dare to go?" Jin Xiaochai looked at Shi Mu and asked.

"Of course!" Shi Mu didn't hesitate and immediately nodded.

"Good. Jin Xiaochai nodded, turned around and walked towards the exit of the underground cave.

Shi Mu looked up at the roof of the cave, and the light in his eyes flickered. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Cai'er seemed to feel Shi Mu's state of mind at this time, and surprisingly didn't bother with noise, just stayed by herself, combing her feathers with her mouth.

Early the next morning. The sandstorm outside the cave was still violent.

Shi Mu meditated cross-legged in the corner of the cave.

"Senior Brother Shi, bring me a bucket of water. Suddenly, Jin Xiaochai turned his head to look at Shi Mudao.

"Senior Sister Jin, there's still the last bucket of water. Shi Mu smiled bitterly.

"Didn't you bring a lot of water?" Jin Xiaochai's beautiful eyes widened.

"You've got to take a shower from time to time along the way, and of course the water goes fast. Shi Mu pouted.

"This place is full of ash, Sister Jin is so beautiful. Of course you have to wash it clean!" At this time, the parrot next to Shi Mu looked at Jin Xiaochai and shouted.

Jin Xiaochai smiled slightly, took out a green pike kernel from his storage ring, and threw it to the parrot casually.

The kernels of these green shuttle nuts were "robbed" by her from Shi Mu.

With a smug look in its eyes, the parrot took a bite of the pit and swallowed it in a few clicks.

"Since it's the last bucket of water, forget it, wait until you find a water source. Jin Xiaochai said.

"According to the map, there is a water source not far from here, although there is no specific location, but it should be no problem to find it. Shi Mu said

The conversation between Shi Mu and Jin Xiaochai shocked Mo Ning and the others in the cave, and they looked at Shi Mu at the same time.

Soon, Mo Ning's face changed, and his eyes showed a look of horror, the aura on Shi Mu's body was still unfathomable, but it had undergone subtle changes, and the majesty of an innate powerhouse loomed.

Qian Xiong and Bai Shuixiu's expressions were also stunned.

"See Uncle Shi, congratulations to Uncle Shi for successfully opening up the Qi Mansion and becoming an innate powerhouse. Bai Shuixiu was the first to react and immediately got up and saluted.

"Congratulations, Uncle Shi. Mo Ning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and saluted with Qian Xiong.

"You don't have to be polite. Shi Mu waved his hand.

Mo Ning and the others sat down again, but they adjusted their position with Shi Mu, Shi Mu, like Jin Xiaochai, gained a considerable amount of independent space.

The sandstorm finally stopped after noon.

Shi Mu and the others set off again, this time Shi Mu walked in the forefront, with the experience he learned in the Teng Crow Department, an hour later, he finally found a waterhole in a valley with a radius of five or six zhang.

As far as the eye can see, the water is clear and the surroundings are clean.

Jin Xiaochai and the others lit up their eyes and strode towards the waterhole.

"Wait!"

Shi Mu's brows furrowed, and he stretched out his hand to stop Jin Xiaochai and them from approaching.

"What's wrong?" Jin Xiaochai asked suspiciously.

"Cai'er, you go and take a look around. Shi Mu didn't answer, and ordered the parrot on his shoulder.

"Stone, Cai'er is thirsty......" Cai'er opened her mouth, and was about to mumble something, but was glared at by Shi Mu's eyes, and immediately her wings fluttered and she flew away.

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Mu stood motionless and did not speak.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong, hurry up and fill up the water, and we have to hurry. Jin Xiaochai saw Shi Mu so affectionate, and his heart was also relieved, and then he waved his hand.

Mo Ning and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly took out their respective water bladders and walked in the direction of the pool.

At this time, Cai'er also flew back, excitedly flying over the waterhole, and the deliberately outstretched claws made the water splash on the water.

Jin Xiaochai also walked towards the waterhole, ready to wash up, the dry world of the wasteland often made her skin quite uncomfortable.

Shi Mu followed behind everyone without saying a word, his eyes swept around, and he vaguely felt that he had missed something.

Jin Xiaochai soon reached the edge of the pool, and the ring on the middle finger of her left hand flashed with silver light, and a large wooden bucket containing water appeared in her hand.

As soon as she put the bucket into the pool, the cold hairs on her body suddenly stood up, and with her eyesight, she could see at a glance that the bottom of the pool was full of Bai Sensen's **** bones.

At this moment, a mutation protruded!

The ground behind him suddenly lit up with a yellow light, and then a giant yellow and black tiger sprang out of it, sandwiching a fierce wind that was as sharp as a substance, and pounced on it.

In mid-air, the giant tiger's two sharp tiger claws waved one by one, and more than ten yellow light blades nearly half a zhang long were overwhelmingly towards Jin Xiaochai's back.

"Be careful!"

Shi Mu said, his right hand quickly pinched a trick, and a white air mass flew out, and quickly elongated, turning into a white qi chain that was long and long, heading towards the giant tiger ****.

Jin Xiaochai's reaction was also extremely fast, throwing the wooden barrel in his hand, Huo Ran turned around, and the black leather whip had already appeared in his hand.

She turned around and shook her arm, and the black leather whip danced out of thin air, quickly forming a black light curtain that was square and round, and headed towards the yellow light blade.

"Boom, boom, boom!" suddenly sounded.

In mid-air, the yellow light kept bursting, and after the black light curtain trembled, it quickly collapsed.

The remaining nearly half-yellow blades of light all struck her.

Jin Xiaochai's whole body was full of golden light, and the yellow light blade seemed to be slashed on the extremely smooth ice ball, and they all flew out from both sides of her body, but the golden light around her body also quickly dimmed.

At this time, the giant tiger's two tiger claws shook, and the claws several inches long flashed out unsteadily, and they were already close to Jin Xiaochai's neck.

At this moment, a white chain of qi flew in, and instantly tied up its body.

"Roar!"

An earth-shattering tiger roar sounded, and the air ring pile was immediately shattered and turned into dots of crystal.

But Jin Xiaochai also took this opportunity, and his figure flashed a few times and appeared ten zhang away.

The giant tiger turned over and landed on the ground between Shi Mu and Jin Xiaochai, and his eyes were full of fierce light.

Shi Mu only discovered at this time that this tiger had four eyes, a strange rune in the center of his eyebrows, and an extremely powerful aura on his body, and he was a powerful beast of the late congenital stage Great Perfection level.

From the appearance of the giant tiger to the attack on Jin Xiaochai and being interrupted by Shi Mu, it only took one or two breaths before and after, and Mo Ning and the others who were fetching water by the waterhole could only react at this time.

Bai Shuixiu had words in his mouth, and his body was quickly wrapped in a layer of blue water.

She jumped and stood lightly on the water, and as soon as she moved, she immediately stepped on the waves, until she reached the center of the pool, and with a wave of her right staff, a column of water several feet high rose in the pool and lifted her up.

Mo Ning didn't know when he was already holding the sword in his hand, and countless blue sword qi appeared around his body like a peacock opening the screen, and it shattered in a blink of an eye, turning into a cloud of several zhang square and hiding himself.

Qian Xiong, who was not far from him, held a black iron shovel in each hand, and took a few steps back.

At this moment, the yellow light of the rune in the heart of the giant tiger's eyebrows flashed, and its body was quickly wrapped in a layer of earthy yellow light, and then as soon as its body moved, it burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
