The Portal of Wonderland - Chapter 225

Chapter 225

Suddenly, the soul flame brightened in Yan Luo’s eyes . It then raised its head, and looked towards Shi Mu . The black smoke around its body had also somewhat thickened . In addition, a whirlwind had also begun to originate around its body . Then, Yan Luo’s hand moved, and slowly raise the bone spear .

"Don’t be impatient! I can give you this flower . But, you will have to exchange your green flower for this one," Shi Mu said . Then, he waved his hand and the red lotus appeared in his hand again . He then pointed at the green flower that was inserted in Yan Luo’s head .

Yan Luo’s soul flame twinkled twice; it seemed like it was somewhat hesitant . But, its hesitation subsided as its eyes fell on the flower that was in Shi Mu’s hand . It took down the green flower from its head, and tossed it towards Shi Mu . And, it clamped its hands to catch the red lotus at the same time .

Shi Mu hurriedly caught the green flower . He felt an ice-cold sensation in the petals of this flower . This feeling was similar to the one he had experienced before .

His heart brimmed with exhilaration . He then sized up the green flower in a careful manner .

He then raised his head . But, he noticed that Yan Luo had already returned to the Dead Spirit World . Only a few wisps of black smoke were floating in the air . But, they also disappeared quickly .

His corners of the mouth moved, and he let out a sigh . He felt a little ashamed in the depth of his heart .

He then shook his head, and tossed this thought out of his mind .

The Lu Shan Kingdom was close at hand . So, he would have to experience many hardships from now on . Therefore, he’d need to enhance his strength as soon as possible .

"Shi Tou, what is this flower?" Cai came over, and landed on Shi Mu’s shoulder .

"It’s a good thing . "

Shi Mu didn’t explain anything further to Cai . He then received his black blade and short stick . After that, he walked to one side, and sat down beside a boulder .

"There’s something important that I need to do . So, I’m handing over the security part to you," Shi Mu threw a glance at Cai as he said .

"This is such a troublesome thing," Cai complained . But, it still spread its wings and flew up .

Shi Mu looked up towards the sky, and his lips creased into a smile .

The layers of clouds that had been in the middle of the sky had dissipated . And, this had gradually revealed the bright moon in the sky .

The moonlight was sprinkling its silver radiance on the ground in the vicinity . And, it seemed as if it was bathing the earth below . There was a straight mountain peak not far from him . It looked like a gigantic stone pillar that was piercing the sky .

The mountain peak appeared very vigorous and majestic even though it wasn’t that lofty .

This small mountain peak had been named ‘Small Heavenly Peak’ by the local people . And, the fact was that this name seemed quite befitting .

Shi Mu gazed at the mountain peak for some time . Then, he retracted his vision . And, his eyes again fell on the green flower in his hand .

A beam of green light was flowing on the surface of that flower .

Shi Mu’s eyes flashed as he cautiously plucked out a petal with his fingers .

"Pop" The flower petal crumbled into pieces as soon as it was separated from the flower . Then, those fragments transformed into a tiny wisp of green airflow .

After that, a spurt of bright light flashed on Shi Mu’s palm . Then, his magic power seeped out through his body, and wrapped around the green air current .

The green air current issued a "whiz’ sound as it came in contact with his magic power . Then, it integrated with the magic power .

Shi Mu closed his eyes, and stimulated his soul to guide this magic power . He then absorbed the magic power into his body . Suddenly, a stream of Yin-attribute cold Qi flowed through his meridians, and wandered throughout his body . And, it eventually integrated into his lower abdomen .

Shi Mu opened his eyes after a moment . And, a hint of happiness flashed through his eyes .

He sensed that his magic power had increased exponentially, and this was just like he had expected . He had now reached the middle of the Art of Accumulating Spirit Power’s seventh stage!

Shi Mu sucked in a deep breath, and suppressed his excitement . Then, he pulled out another green petal .

. . .

In the Dead Spirit World…

The sky was covered with a curtain of eternal gloominess .

There was a basin in the vicinity of a black and lofty mountain peak; the peak was hundreds of feet in height . Suddenly, a plume of black smoke emerged in the centre of this basin out of thin air . It was followed by Yan Luo’s silhouette that floated out from within . The red lotus could be seen sticking out on top of its head .

There was a pool near the basin . Some faint-red substances could be indistinctly seen in that pool . It seemed as if it was a deep-water pool .

Fifty or more skeleton soldiers stood near the pool . Their bodies were covered with a suit of bone armor . They seemed to be guarding something . Suddenly, they saw that Yan Luo had appeared . So, they walked over and stood behind Yan Luo .

Yan Luo beckoned with its hand, and those skeletons went to one side .

There was an open area near the pool . But, the ground was piled-up with large quantities of bones and skeletons . In fact, they seemed to be almost one-hundred in number .

Yan Luo remained standing in the same place for a moment . Then, it shifted its vision towards that black mountain .

The top of the mountain peak was shrouded in a layer of dark-gray fog . The dense fog made it difficult to see the appearance of the summit from the distance . However, a trace of heavy pressure could be faintly felt there .

Yan Luo then withdrew his vision, and walked over to the side of those skeletons’ corpses .

The soul flame flickered in its eyes in a severe manner . Then, a wisp of soul flame flew out from its mouth, and submerged into a skeleton’s head that lay on the ground .

Suddenly, a little green light gleamed in that skeleton’s eyes . Then, that green radiance changed into two green soul flames . After that, the skeleton on the ground showed a little movement . And, it soon started to assemble its body parts by itself . It had soon taken the form of a complete human skeleton .

The skeleton then moved its hands and feet a few times . After that, it walked to the side, and stood beside those fifty skeleton warriors .

Afterwards, Yan Luo took a step, and stood by the side of another pile of skeletal bones . . .

The number of the skeleton warriors who stood upright on their feet had reached seventy after a long time . However, the brightness of Yan Luo’s soul flame had dimmed by a margin .

Yan Luo finally came to a stop . It then arrived at the side of the deep-water pool . It was about to jump into it . But, its body suddenly stiffened .

Yan Luo had seen its reflection in the water . And, it had noticed that the red lotus that was inserted in its head had already withered . In fact, it had turned into a withered branch-like gray thing .

Yan Luo was left dumbfounded for a moment . Then, it removed that withered thing from its head .

After that, it issued a long and soundless shout, and stamped its foot in a fierce manner . Its soul flame also showed a burst of fluctuations .

Yan Luo returned to its normal state after some time . It threw the withered flower that it held in his hand, and plunged into the pool .

. . .

The last piece of green petal had also turned into a stream of cold air half-an-hour later . Then, it integrated into Shi Mu’s body under the guidance of his magic power .

Shi Mu opened his eyes, and the two faint rays of light were emanated from his eyes . His face beamed with happiness .

He had absorbed the entire green flower . And, his magic power had surprisingly reached the peak of the ninth stage . He was only a step away from stepping into the Star-Grade magician’s realm now .

However, his magic power had basically depended on some external objects . So, it was somewhat unstable and difficult to control . In fact, it was far inferior to the stable magic power Shi Mu had previously accumulated from the Moon-Swallowing Art .

However, this wasn’t a big issue . Shi Mu was confident that he could control this newly accumulated magic power if he got some time .

He took a long and deep breath, and suppressed his overwhelming excitement . Then, he raised his head and looked towards the bright moon in the sky . An idea crossed his mind . And, he immediately exhibited the posture of the Moon-Swallowing Art .

He entered the dreamland after some time, and found himself incarnated into the white ape .

The silver radiance of the moonlight began to fall and integrate into the white ape’s body .

Meanwhile, Shi Mu sized up the surrounding area . He found that this place was different from the previous one .

The white ape sat cross-legged on the top of a horizontal mountain peak at this moment . The surface of the mountain was dark-green in color . It looked like a gigantic stone pillar that soared high into the sky .

"This mountain peak . . . "

Shi Mu felt a little surprised . The appearance of this skyscraping mountain peak looked somewhat similar to that small mountain peak .

There was a presence of an extremely rich spiritual energy in the vicinity of this towering mountain peak . In addition, the mountain was laden with numerous luxuriant trees that were unusually tall . Their gigantic height reminded Shi Mu of the trees he had seen in the Barbarian Wasteland .

The white ape sat on a boulder . Many beasts could be seen in the vicinity .

Wolves, bears, tigers, lions, and so on . . .

These beasts were intently gazing towards the white ape who was fully absorbed in absorbing the moonlight . However, their faces were revealing a hint of veneration .

A few of them were quick-witted . So, they had imitated the white ape, and had assumed the Moon-Swallow Art’s posture . But, it was only natural that they couldn’t absorb the moonlight…

There were rolling mountain ranges near this lofty peak . But, they weren’t as high as this towering peak . The forest on these mountains looked scarce and desolate . In fact, it gave off the ambience of the barbarians Wasteland .

Moreover, a few volcanoes could be seen not far from this lofty mountain peaks . And, they seemed connected to each other . They would often puff out a plume of black smoke toward the sky . In addition, they would also spout bright-red magma from time-to-time with a loud thundering sound .

There were hundreds of beasts in the vicinity . But, they seemed accustomed to these volcanoes… so much so that they didn’t even pour a glance towards them .

A little time passed . More and more moonlight radiance was converging into the white ape’s body now .

It gradually started to seem as if the white ape’s body was shrouded in a layer of faint-silver smoke .

The white ape’s body suddenly exuded a dazzling white light at this moment . Then, it raised its head skywards, and issued a whistle .

The ape’s whistle was similar to the sound of a billowing wave, and it immediately proliferated in all directions . In fact, the sound wave even set off faint ripples in the air…

The surrounding beasts also heard this sound . And, they felt as if a steel awl was drilling into their mind .

The surrounding beasts issued howls of anguish as a result . Then, they put their hands behind their head, and lay prone on the ground .

The white ape’s long and loud whistle suddenly stopped . The layer of light shrouding its body also faded away . The moonlight that was converging into its body suddenly took the shape of a huge ape behind its back . Its entire body was white . It was dozens of feet tall, and it looked extremely powerful .

After that, a pair of white wings impressively grew on the ape-like shape . It then stretched to unfold its wings . But, it seemed as if the wings still had room for growth .

The white ape opened its eyes, and a pair of golden pupil fired two beams of golden light .

After that, the white ape stood up and issued a low roar . The magic shadow behind its body flashed . Then, it submerged into the ape’s body, and disappeared without a trace .

Bang!

A pair of white wings sprouted on the back of the white ape . It looked as if they were the real thing .

Then, the wings flapped, and the white ape took off into the sky . It then started to hover in the sky freely… just like a bird .

The surrounding beasts issued roar out of excitement when they witnessed this scene . Then, they fell on the knees, and faced skywards towards the white ape .

The white ape revealed a contented facial expression as it saw the actions of the hundreds of beasts below . Then, it began to issue roars, and it seemed as if it was showing-off its strength . It then hovered back-and-forth the lofty mountain peak, and took a few laps .

Some time passed, and it seemed like the white ape had shown-off to its heart content . It no longer paid attention to those beasts . Instead, its vision drifted towards the nearby volcanoes .

A thoughtful expression flashed through the ape’s eyes . Then, it spread its wings and flew toward the nearest crater . Then, it flew into the crater .

Shi Mu was within the white ape’s body . He suddenly felt the hot and rich fire-attribute spiritual aura around his body .

A huge lake of magma appeared in front of the white ape . However, this brought a trace of excitement in its eyes . It retracted its wings, and jumped into the magma .

There was nothing but darkness in front of Shi Mu’s eyes . But, he woke up from the dream the next moment . He had returned to his own body…

The sky had already regained its brightness by now . The moon had also slid down the western horizon . Only a faint shadow of it could be seen…

Shi Mu was blankly gazing into the distance as he tried to recall the situation he had just seen in the dream .

This wasn’t the first time he had experienced a different dreamland while practicing the Moon-Swallowing Art . It seemed that he sometimes entered the dreamland based on his own thoughts and feelings . However, these dreams didn’t seem to have any special significance . In fact, these dreams were only useful for the Moon-Swallowing Art and Sun-Swallowing Art .

Shi Mu pondered for a moment . Then, he shook his head and tossed away this senseless thought from his mind . He then stood up and gazed into the western horizon . The hint of a complicated look flashed through his eyes .

This was the direction of Heavenly Yu City .
