Chapter 354 Mural
"Huh, I didn't realize it. They're really working together to break through this last step so quickly."
As Ma Liang flashed in, Mo Hei followed closely behind.
Suddenly I felt something, but I couldn't see it. I was on the outskirts of the mountains that were almost in ruins.
Sea beasts and monsters flew out one after another, followed by a few human cultivators.
"It's that despicable human kid. Humph, this Divine Turtle will make you die to atone for your sins!"
After many twists and turns and having learned from the experiences of several fellow sea beasts, the turtle monster that just stepped into the tower gate was undoubtedly filled with hatred and murderous intent towards Mo Hei.
Seeing this human boy disappear from the hillside, the sea turtle monster became extremely jealous as if it had met an enemy, and immediately followed him.
The rest of the sea beasts and monsters also shared a common hatred for the enemy and followed the sea turtle monster, avoiding traces of the battlefield and leaping towards the middle of the mountain.
"Crash..."
When Mo Hei entered the cave, the gate was forcibly broken. Before he could see where he was, he could hear the sound of flowing water.
"I never thought... there would be another world..."
Not only that, this cave seemed like a paradise, which was obviously different from the devastated battlefield outside.
In Mo Hei's eyes, this was actually an exquisite garden with colorful flowers, rockery and fountains, which was magnificent.
Intoxicated by the scene, Mo Hei reached out to pick a golden flower in full bloom in the flowerbed, but was shocked to find that it was like trying to catch the moon in the water.
"Thorn..."
Then a feeling of electric shock spread from the fingertips to the whole body, causing Mo Hei to shiver all over. He quickly pulled his hand back and dared not act recklessly again.
The advantage is that this electric current is like a spent force, otherwise it would not be able to escape so easily.
"Is this an illusion? Why can I clearly hear the sound of running water? And... um... can I smell the fragrance of flowers? And it's also aggressive?"
Mo Hei was inevitably confused, and subconsciously used his spiritual sense to investigate, but was suppressed and could only investigate a few feet within himself.
And suddenly I was surprised to find that I seemed to be in a mural.
But it is simply because this garden is too dreamy and unreal.
The leaves are all emerald green, the flowers are golden, and even the bluestone floor under your feet is emerald green.
Even the water flowing on the rockery was completely still. If it weren't for the sound, it would have been motionless.
When I looked up at the sky again, the entire sky was white, as if covered with a thick layer of clouds and fog.
"I wonder if Little White Dragon and Ma Liang have left here?"
Mo Hei, who sensed this through his spiritual sense, immediately took a step forward, carefully walking along the bluestone path straight into the garden.
Along the way, Mo Hei became more and more convinced of his guess. The scenery here was dead silent, lifeless, and there was not a single living creature.
When Mo He looked around and observed all the way, he came to the center of the garden, only to see two figures, one big and one small, standing by the spring.
"Little White Dragon, is there anything special about this spring?"
When they arrived at the spring, Mo Hei couldn't help but ask through telepathy.
At the same time, Mo Hei also looked towards the spring, which was filled with clear water, and seemed to be about to be full...
Upon hearing this, the little evil dragon looked up at Mo Hei and asked in a voice transmission:
"You successfully established your ninth-grade foundation in the Ice God Palace ruins?"
Mo Hei was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.
At this moment, Ma Liang also looked up at Mo Hei who came to the spring and asked without thinking:
"Looking at Daoist Mo's aura, I can see that he has such a profound foundation even though he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. May I ask if Daoist Mo has reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment?"
Faced with this question, although Mo Hei's face remained calm, he was already on guard in his heart, and asked:
"Just based on my profound background, you can infer that I am at the ninth level of foundation building? Doesn't Fellow Daoist Ma really know how difficult this ninth level of foundation building is?"
Ma Liang stared at Mo Hei for a long time before he said with a forced smile:
"Fellow Daoist Mo is right. Not long ago, the ruins of the Ice God Palace were revealed. Only one person passed through the Tianyi Spring and successfully established the ninth-grade foundation. And that fellow Daoist also happened to call himself Mo."
After hearing this, Mo Hei asked directly:
"So, Fellow Daoist Ma, do you know this person?"
Ma Liang and Mo Hei kept their eyes fixed on each other. After a long while, he was the first to look away, looking at the clear spring at his feet, and said meaningfully:
"Whether or not I recognize him is no longer important. What's important is that I can't recognize the new look of Fellow Daoist Mo, who has successfully established his ninth-grade foundation."
Mo Hei's heart sank, and he asked inquiringly:
"I don't understand what Fellow Daoist Ma is saying. Even though I was fortunate enough to establish my foundation at the ninth level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, my appearance hasn't changed at all."
At this moment, Xiao Bailong suddenly became careless and asked without any hesitation:
"Hey, Mr. Ma, since you know about the Tianyi Spring in the Ice God Palace ruins, and you also mentioned that a cultivator named Mo was able to reach the ninth level of foundation building, then you should be able to tell which of the nine springs this is?"
A flash of anger flashed across Ma Liang's eyes, and then he smiled coldly:
"You are such a wicked child, you have no idea of etiquette. Even if I could see it, I would have no reason to tell you."
Mo Hei intentionally walked to the side of the little evil dragon, confronting it, and asked without concealing his hostility:
"Fellow Daoist Ma, relying solely on his Root Establishment Stage cultivation, was able to crush so many cultivators in the Pill Establishment Stage, and was the first to pass through the coercive restriction and enter the tower gate. This shows that Fellow Daoist Ma must be a very capable person, very impressive."
Ma Liang's smile froze, and his tone was filled with endless hatred as he said:
"If it weren't for the oath to heaven, how could I tolerate this? Humph!"
After letting out an angry roar, Ma Liang immediately jumped into the spring and disappeared in an instant.
Just as Ma Liang jumped into the spring, Mo Hei vaguely sensed that the clear spring was about to overflow.
"Huh... This old monster was finally provoked away by this Divine Dragon. Speaking of which, it really scared this Divine Dragon to death."
As Ma Liang left, the little evil dragon collapsed to the ground, feeling as if he had survived a disaster.
"Because of the oath of heaven?"
On the other hand, Mo Hei was shocked and puzzled by Ma Liang's angry departure.
"Don't be suspicious. If this Shenlong is right, this old fellow must have been reborn by taking over another body."
After the little evil dragon finished his solemn words, he saw Mo Hei's surprised expression and then explained:
“Let’s not even mention the fact that this person, relying solely on his Root Establishment cultivation, was able to pass through this ancient tower first, and the pressure and restriction it exuded.
It is said that this person did not pay any attention to the treasures left in this illusion, and left this place directly through the spring.
This is enough to prove that the true identity of this Ma must be extraordinary."
After listening to this, Mo Hei agreed deeply and nodded:
"This person has probably recognized me."
The little evil dragon was startled and jumped up. Feeling very uneasy, he circled around the spring and said:
"No wonder this old monster is restraining himself from us. Mo boy, don't you even understand the Heavenly Oath this old monster is talking about?"
Mo Hei slowly shook his head, and suddenly he understood:
"Could it be related to the person who claimed to be the Moon Worship Sect Leader outside of the Ice God Mountain?"
The little evil dragon came to Mo Hei and stood in front of him, asking in confusion:
"The Moon Worshiper? When this Divine Dragon was trapped in Eagle Sorrow Gorge, I heard from those who were robbed that this person is very famous and powerful in Southern Xinjiang.
He has apparently reached the Nascent Soul stage and is very likely to enter the Spiritual Transformation stage. Mo, how did you come into contact with this person?"
"This……"
Mo Hei was embarrassed and held his forehead with his hand. Could it be that he should tell the truth?
Is it because he cheated Xuan Ling and Ah Man and took Taiyi Randeng for himself?
Thinking of this, Mo He was suddenly shocked. If this was true, then logically speaking, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult should come to him to hold him accountable.
Why is he so respectful to himself and not disrespectful at all?
This is too unbelievable, just like when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong?
"Young man Mo, don't overthink it. After we retrieve the treasure from here and merge it with this drop of blood essence that will soon give birth to the Chilong spirit, this dragon will accompany you to meet the Moon Worshiper. We will know the answer after asking."
The little evil dragon felt relieved immediately. He looked around and said with golden light in his eyes:
"This folding screen mural is a treasure. It can be used to ward off and trap enemies when necessary."
Mo Hei looked at the spring, full of doubts, and said:
"Why did Fellow Daoist Ma leave in such a hurry? Did he really not take this screen mural seriously?"
The little evil dragon did what he said. He first jumped onto the top of a towering tree, formed a spell with his hands, and said with one mind:
"This screen mural is very old and damaged, so it's practically useless. Otherwise, do you think the two of us, along with this old monster who's only in the Root Establishment stage, could have made it all the way to the core of the spring array unimpeded?"
Mo Hei was unpredictable and shook his head slightly:
"Even if that's the case, Fellow Daoist Ma shouldn't be so impatient to leave. I think he must have other intentions."
The little evil dragon thought what he said made sense, so he said no more. He jumped and flew to a rockery, took out a black stone slab, muttered a spell in his mind, and said:
"receive!"
"Rumble..."
Along with the roaring sound, Mo Hei, who was standing next to the spring, opened his eyes wide for a moment, as if he was at the end of the world. Everything around him, including the thick clouds in the sky, was swallowed up by the darkness and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
All of this was just like watching a movie, making Mo Hei feel like he was actually there.
As the scenery before him vanished, Mo Hei looked around and felt as if he was in a dark and empty cave...
But if you look closely, it doesn't look like it, because this cave is not naturally formed, and there are traces of battle left behind, and some tools and things are buried...
"Hold this rock for now. This should be a spring. When it overflows, we can jump in."
As the little evil dragon put away the stone wall and handed it over to Mo Hei, he had already come to the spring where clear water was still gurgling and waited.
