The Portal of Wonderland - Chapter 559

Chapter 559: 559

The moment Shi Mu passed through the brightly lit door…

Buzz buzz!

In the depths of the first layer of the Holy Land, a bell-like spread far and wide toward the surrounding area as it rang through tens of thousands of miles .

“What’s going on?”

“This voice… Could it be…”

“This is the monument of the Enchanted Road . Someone passed successfully!”

“Could it be that Shi Mu made it through?!”

Everyone heard the buzzing sound and was caught off guard . After all, the illusion of the Enchanted Road had been broken through, and those who were successful numbered less than ten . Knowing that someone broke through meant he was on par with the high-ranking disciples .

The doubtful ones had expressions of disbelief .

…

Shi Mu felt a blur before finding himself in a grand white hall .

He looked around a little and realized he was not in the Enchanted Hall from where he entered the challenge .

The hall was vacant and empty . Except for a few pillars, there was nothing else .

“You must be Shi Mu . To pass through the Enchanted Road means that you have a heart of gold,” a clear voice said from behind him .

Shi Mu quickly turned around and saw a figure shrouded in blue light standing there . However, he was unable to see the figure’s face .

“I’m honored to have met you,” Shi Mu bowed down in respect . It occurred to him that he was unable to detect the other person’s inner qi .

“There’s no need for such formalities,” the figure shrouded in blue light slowly raised his hand as an invisible force lifted Shi Mu’s body to stop him from bowing .

The figure looked at Shi Mu from head to toe and seemed to be interested in him for some personal reason .

Shi Mu was stunned but continued standing there without any major movements .

“Not bad . It’s been nearly a thousand years since anyone passed through the Enchanted Road . Yet here you are today . ”

“I was just lucky,” Shi Mu said modestly .

“How humble of you . It’s no surprise that you could overcome the challenge of the illusion . Now that you’ve passed through the Enchanted Road, according to the rules, you’re now considered a millennium disciple . However, there are some procedures first . You’ll still have to wait a while in order to formally become a millennium disciple . ”

“I understand . ”

“I’ll send you back now since you’ve used up a lot of your power and strength . Rest for the time being, and everything will be arranged for you,” he said as a wave of dust appeared at his fingertips .

White light enshrouded Shi Mu .

His eyes blurred for a moment, and in an instant, he appeared on a high slope surrounded by tall trees . It seemed that he had already returned to the first floor .

Shi Mu looked around and found that he was not far away from the Xuanling Tower .

He breathed in slowly and his face was bright with happiness . He could not help but felt somewhat puzzled .

The fact that he was unable to see through the figure in blue light meant that this person must have been someone highly important in Qinglan . Maybe even be one of the eight great guardians or one of the four elders of the Holy Land . It was uncertain why this person’s face would be hidden in such secrecy .

After thinking about it without any success, he turned his thoughts elsewhere . He immediately transformed into a ray of red light and flew toward residence .

…

“That Shi Mu had actually passed through the Enchanted Road . How is it possible? Is this true?”

As soon as Lu Jing received the report from one of his attendants, his face was filled with surprise and shock .

“It is true . I looked for numerous attendants working under the elder disciples and it’s no surprise that the voice was originally derived from the magical monument . That can only mean someone successfully passed through the Enchanted Road,” the attendant said quickly .

“I know now . Leave . ”

Lu Jing waved his hand impatiently and the huge ape-sized attendant quickly left .

When he was gone, Lu Jing grabbed a glass of wine and crushed it in anger and frustration . His face was gloomy and his eyes sparkled .

…

In the attic of a house located in the Bamboo Forest .

“I didn’t believe he could do it, yet he did . Is this a blessing or a curse…?” Ling Feng stood in front of the window and looked into the distance as he muttered to himself .

…

In another cave house, Long Zhanye sat on his knees and his face was sullen . After a long time, he finally let out a disappointed sigh .

…

“Sister, Shi Mu was indeed powerful . ”

In the residence of an ordinary disciple, Ma Long and Ma Lie both sat inside and exclaimed in disbelief .

Although he was able to resist and break through the trials of the new disciple, he had failed to rank within 108 . He did not succeed in the trials nine years ago, but due to the closest relationship between his sister, Ma Long and Shi Mu, he managed to earn some spirit stones . With that, he was able to be recruited and become an attendant instead .

“I said it before, Shi Mu’s strength isn’t something to take lightly . Ma Lie, if you ever bump into him again, pay attention to your words and actions . ”

“Yes, sister . ”

Ma Lie was arrogant but after suffering the blow of defeat getting caught up in his current situation, he could not help but lower his head .

“Don’t be discouraged . It won’t take long till the new round of trials . In the past few years, you’ve made great progress in your power and strength . After a few trips to handpick a spirit weapon for you, you’ll stand a chance . ”

“Thank you sister! Since Shi Mu has now become a millennium disciple, does the issue we discussed have any hope of success?” Ma Lie suddenly raised his head and asked .

Ma Long was silent for a moment before replying .

“I can’t talk about that now . We’ll see how the situation goes . ”

Ma Lie nodded in agreement .

In the next few days, news about Shi Mu passing the Enchanted Road spread at rapid speed, causing heated discussions .

The Enchanted Road itself was now known to almost everyone . Although many had shown interest in challenging the Road, they gave up after learning how difficult it would be .

…

In the twinkling of an eye, half a month passed by .

As Shi Mu was meditating in his secret chambers, he suddenly opened up his eyes and went to the door . Just as he was about to reach out his hand and opened it…

Qi Feng was standing at a distance as he faced Shi Mu with respect .

“Young master, master Ling Feng has come to see you . ”

“Ling Feng? Please usher him to the living room and serve him with some good tea . I shall be there in a minute,” Shi Mu’s expression sank slightly as he spoke .

“It has been arranged,” Qi Feng said .

“That’s good . You and go ahead now . ”

“Understood . ”

Qi Feng bowed before leaving

A moment later, Shi Mu put on a new robe and walked to the living room .

As soon as he entered, he saw Ling Feng seated on the right side in a blue gown . He had a teacup in one hand as he gently blew it before taking a sip .

His actions were bleak and his attitude was clear . It seemed he had a sense of freedom and easiness within himself .

“Brother Ling Feng, I’ve been insisting to invite you over for a tea . I see that the day has finally arrived,” Shi Mu said with a smile .

Ling Feng halted from sipping his tea and looked up to Shi Mu with a bright smile on his face .

“Well, you’ve been busy training, and your efforts paid off . As a disciple myself who knows the struggle of cultivating, I wouldn’t dare disturb you . ”

“Anyhow, since you’ve come here today, may I know what I can help you with?”

“Naturally, it is a good thing . ”

“A good thing?”

“Well, it’s like this . I came here today under the orders of Elder Mo Yan to guide you over to the Qinghuang Temple . ”

“Elder Mo Yan? Qinghuang Temple? I’ve never heard of this person or this place before,” Shi Mu said doubtfully .

“Qinghuang Temple is located in the main hall of the yellow region . It is presided over by Elder Mo Yan who takes on affairs of all millennium disciples . ”

“Main hall?” Shi Mu wondered .

“You don’t know? There’s a general hall between century-old disciples and millennium-disciples . The first floor is the Qinghuang Hall and the second floor is known as Qingxuan Hall . ”

“Oh, so that’s how it is . Since the elders summoned for me, let’s get going then . ”

Ling Feng nodded in agreement .

The two walked out of the residence and turned into flew side by side toward the Xuanling Tower like rays of dawn light .

After just a moment, they arrived in front of the hall .

On the top of the main hall, was a red plaque hanging on the top . The character “Qinghuang Temple” was carved into it .

The two came to the entrance of the temple as Ling Feng arranged his robe neatly .

“Elder Mo, disciple Shi Mu has arrived . ”

“Come in,” said a gentle voice .

Shi Mu followed Ling Feng into the hall and noticed a flowery scent . As he smelled the fragrance, his eyes widened when he realized he had walked into an elegantly furnished garden that was filled with exotic plants .

Shi Mu composed himself and noticed an elder in a black robe facing them sideways not far away . He had a black ceramic watering vessel with which he was watering his plants .

“Greetings, Elder Mo,” Shi Mu said as he bowed respectfully .

“Oh! Come on in and take a seat . Let’s talk,” the white-haired old man said as he turned around, revealing a kind face .

Shi Mu saw Ling Feng already sat down on the chair at the right side of the temple, so he sat beside him .

“You are Shi Mu . This may be the first time we’re meeting then . I’m in the order of the Lord, so all the work of a hundred-year disciple is under me . I’m not so keen to deal with the workload here, but fortunately Ling Feng and the other deacons are always around to lend a helping hand . That’s why I was rarely able to show up and greet each one of you,” Elder Mo said with a warm smile .

“I was unaware of this,” Shi Mu replied .

“Hehe . Back to the real topic, for the past millennium, you are the only one who has passed the test of the enchanted illusion and advanced into becoming a millennium disciple . I’ve invited you over, for one thing, to inform you of some things regarding the entry to the second floor of the Holy Land . Besides that, I wanted to see you as the leader of your generation . ”

“Thank you for your praise but I believe I’m not yet qualified to be called a leader just yet . ”

“Hehe, those who pass the test of the Enchanted Road deserved to be praised . ”

Elder Mo waved his arm as he spoke, and a blue light slowly appeared and floated in front of Shi Mu .

Shi Mu quickly reached out to catch it with his hands .

As soon as the blue light scattered, it revealed a blue robe within .

His gaze swept over the chest area of the robe . Two vividly embroidered green leaves were sown onto it . Other than that, the robe looked similar to any other millennium disciple’s .
