Chapter One Thousand and Twelve: The Essence of the Sun and the Moon

"However, although you have practiced the ninth rank of Xuan Gong, your cultivation level is still not enough. If you confront Di Yan head-on, you will be at a disadvantage." Li Sheng changed the subject and said.

"Indeed, I am still a long way from the white ape ancestor back then, but with my current cultivation, breaking through the bottleneck is not something that can be achieved overnight. Now the situation is forcing me to wait..." Shi Mu said, frowning frown.

"I have a method here, which may allow you to break through the bottleneck, would you like to give it a try?" Li Sheng looked at Shi Mu and asked.

"What's the solution?" Shi Mu hurriedly asked after hearing the words.

"Open the channel of the underworld, attract the water of the Styx River to infuse the Qianyangyueyou array, and pour all the sun essence and moonlight accumulated in the Cangyue secret realm for thousands of years into your body, which may help you break through the shackles of your cultivation in one fell swoop." Li Li Sheng said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"I'm willing to give it a try!" Shi Mu said after thinking for a while.

"Although this method is feasible, it also has great risks. I need to inform you first." Li Sheng said.

"What's the risk?" Shi Mu asked.

"Because of this ancient Cangyue tree, Cangyue Secret Realm can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon between the heaven and the earth to a great extent. I can't predict how much energy has been accumulated in the past thousand years. Therefore, once this force breaks through If you exceed the limit that your body can bear, you may explode and die." Li Sheng looked at Shi Mu and explained.

"It's okay, I'm willing to give it a try, and hope that senior will make it happen.

"Shi Mu cupped his hands and said confidently.

Now that he is immortal, he still has some confidence in his physical body's ability to withstand it, and is not very worried.

"Okay, even if you have made up your mind, follow me." Li Sheng nodded in satisfaction and said.

He led Shi Mu out of the palace, passed through a building ruin, and came to the edge of a flat green grassland.

Shi Mu turned his head and glanced in the direction of the palace, and saw the huge canopy of the Cangyue ancient tree towering in the sky.

The terrain of the grassland in front of me is slightly lower than the surrounding area, slightly in the shape of a basin, and the terrain gets lower as it gets closer to the center.

The grassland has a radius of more than ten miles, with knee-length weeds growing on it, green in color and full of vitality.

Among the weeds, there are also a lot of ground elf grass, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, which is very refreshing.

Shi Mu glanced over, and among these lush plants, he could still see white stone platforms scattered scattered among them.

These white stone platforms are no more than knee-high, no more than ten feet wide, and only a few dozen feet long. With a slight arc, they are distributed layer by layer along the terrain of the grassland in the shape of a half ring, hidden among the green grass.

Shi Mu looked at it for a while, secretly surprised in his heart.

Surrounded by layers of white stone platforms, they actually vaguely formed a formation that could condense the vitality of the heavens and the earth, so many spiritual medicines were produced on this grassland.

Seeing Shi Mu's surprised expression, Li Sheng smiled and led him towards the center of the grassland.

In the center of the grassland, the terrain is the lowest, and there is a round stone platform with a radius of ten feet. It is densely engraved with various runes, and many mottled cracks and dents eroded by wind and frost can be vaguely seen.

Many cracks are glowing with dark green color, but a lot of moss has already grown.

Under Li Sheng's signal, Shi Mu jumped up, landed on the stone platform, and sat down cross-legged.

"I will preside over the formation in person. You only need to hold the Yuan and keep one, and try your best to integrate the sun essence, moonlight and heaven and earth vitality into your body." Li Sheng instructed.

Shi Mu nodded, put his hands in front of his body and sat with his arms in his arms, gradually entering a state of samadhi.

Seeing this, Li Sheng shook his sleeves, and his whole body was suspended in the air, flying over Shi Mu. With a wave of one hand, eight red round mirrors the size of palms flew out, hovering in the sky.

The eight-sided round mirror is made of red copper, with many strange runes engraved on the surface of the mirror, and eight kinds of ugly beasts are engraved on the back.

Li Sheng stared at the eight bronze mirrors, clasped his hands together, typed out several weird formulas, and silently recited the mysterious formulas.

Accompanied by bursts of chanting sounds like Sanskrit, a red light lit up on the eight red copper round mirrors one after another, and connected to the two adjacent round mirrors to form a red ring with a radius of ten feet.

A pitch-black light curtain emerged from the ring, and eight ugly beasts emerged one after another, screaming and crowding together, filling the small ring to the brim.

The phantoms of the eight strange beasts struggled with each other, looking eager to rush out of the circle, they poked their heads out of the circle, but no matter how they struggled, they were always bound by a force and could not break free come out.

After several struggles, the eight strange beasts finally stopped rushing out forcibly, and instead rushed towards the dark light curtain inside.

With this charge, the pitch-black light curtain burst, 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 up into the sky.

I saw red light surging in the circle surrounded by eight red copper round mirrors, and a blood-colored spray surged out of it, falling down like a blood-colored waterfall.

"crash"

The Bloody Waterfall flew straight down, rushing into the grassland under Shi Mu's body, splashing a large piece of red water, submerging most of the grassland in a short time.

The green weeds were submerged in the blood-red water,

It swayed from side to side like water plants.

As the bloody waterfall continued to pour in, the water level on the grassland continued to rise, and soon submerged up to Shi Mu's chest.

Shi Mu only felt a chill all over his body, and an indescribable strange feeling came from his body surface, as if all the pores on his body were stretched in the cold water.

At this moment, Li Sheng's hands suddenly burst into light, and he patted Shi Mu below.

Seeing this, Shi Mu was slightly startled, but he held back, neither resisting nor fleeing.

A piece of golden light was seen pouring down and falling onto the round stone platform under Shi Mu's body.

"Boom"

The stone platform vibrated suddenly, and all kinds of runes engraved on it lit up with golden light one after another. Golden light patterns flew away from the stone platform and flowed into the surrounding ring-shaped stone platform along the water flow.

I saw the circles of arc-shaped white stone platforms being lit up by golden light patterns one after another, shining golden brilliance one after another.

"crash"

There was a sound of turbulent water waves, and the water surface around Shi Mu began to fluctuate violently.

There were bursts of trembling sounds on the huge curved stone platforms, and one after another, they rose and flew out from the bottom of the water.

The curved stone platform on the outermost layer rose very fast, and flew into the sky at a height of hundreds of feet in a short while.

A circle of arc-shaped stone platforms further inside also flew into the sky, but the position was a few feet above it, and the further the arc-shaped stone platforms went to the inner layer, the lower the height of the rise.

Between these arc-shaped stone platforms, a huge irregular funnel was formed.

At the bottom of the funnel are Shi Mu and the round stone platform that are still immersed in the red underworld water.

Seeing that the Qianyang Yueyou formation had been activated, Li Sheng flew out of the formation.

Shi Mu sat cross-legged on the round platform, the water of the Styx River around him had covered his head, submerged his whole body in it, and the entire grassland basin turned into a small red lake.

The water of the Styx River looks like flowing water, but in fact it is different. Although Shi Mu is underwater, he does not feel any cramped discomfort, and even his breathing is not affected at all.

He opened his eyes and looked around, and saw the weeds at the bottom of the water, swaying gently with the unique rhythm of the waves.

Suddenly, a bright golden light lit up in the weeds, like a firefly, came to Shi Mu's side, touched his arm lightly, but did not melt into his body for a flash.

Shi Mu suddenly felt a burst of warmth penetrate into the body along the pores, feeling extremely comfortable.

Immediately afterwards, clusters of bright light continued to light up in the bottom of the water, and they were distributed little by little, like stars at night, reflecting the grassland in the water very beautifully.

Shi Mu looked at this strange scene and felt as if he was in the sea of ​​stars.

There was a soft "huh".

Under the surge of the water waves, the stars in the water suddenly all moved, like a flowing galaxy, rushing towards Shi Mu.

I saw clusters of rays of light attached to Shi Mu's body, disappearing like ice and snow melting, and all merged into his body.

A ray of light entering the body is a warm feeling, but a thousand rays of light entering the body at the same time is not a pleasant feeling.

Countless beams of golden light flooded into the body, immediately 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 he let out a painful roar.

Li Sheng was outside the formation and couldn't help frowning when he heard Shi Mu's roar.

He raised his eyes, and looked worriedly at the curved stone platforms floating in the sky, and saw that those stone platforms were shining with golden light and spinning leisurely.

At this moment, a shock of "buzz" sounded.

Those arc-shaped stone platforms suspended in the sky suddenly trembled and stopped spinning, and the runes on them flickered on and off as if they were alive.

The entire Cangyue Secret Realm suddenly vibrated slightly, and the frequency was exactly the same as the flashing runes on the stone platform.

I saw the ancient Cangyue tree in the distance, the huge tree crown was shining with light, and clusters of dazzling light spots were separated from it.

Immediately afterwards, the vitality of the surrounding world vibrated violently, and countless bright spots of light emerged densely from the surrounding rocks and trees, and even in the white clouds high in the sky, there were also spots of light that continuously lit up like snowflakes towards the Down below.

These thousand-year-old Cangyue ancient trees absorbed the sun's essence and moonlight scattered in the entire Cangyue secret realm, and immediately turned into specks of light, filling the entire world, as if there was no end in sight at a glance.

I saw these light spots, attracted by Qianyang Yueyou's large formation, flying towards the funnel-shaped formation one after another.

In the beginning, the speed of the light spots was not very fast, but as more and more light poured into the formation, there were bursts of whistling sounds in the entire Cangyue secret realm.

In the secret realm, there are rivers formed by the gathering of light spots everywhere, rushing and rushing into the formation, and then all of them merge into the blood-red lake.

At this moment, Shi Mu's whole body was extremely bright, but his eyes had been closed again, and he was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform at the bottom of the lake, meditating again.

With the continuous influx of light, Shi Mu's aura also began to increase slowly. This increase was so weak that it was almost undetectable, but it was improving non-stop.
