Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

"Old Master."

Upon seeing Zhang Zhiwei appear before him, Mo Xie bowed, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said in a humble voice.

"Ah."

Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand, used his spatial power to help Mo Xie up, and said with a smile.

"Young friend Mo Xie, once the trial is over, all the injuries you suffered will be healed. You should have already experienced that, right?"

"I see……"

Mo Xie nodded, but noticed that the old master hadn't mentioned the power Xiao Lei had gained, so he figured the other party probably didn't know either.

So, does that mean that after all the trials, Kui Niu has already accepted me?
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel excited. Taking the totem energy of the Kui Niu into his possession would greatly enhance his strength!
Looking around, the entire summit of Tianmen Mountain came into view.

The summit of Tianmen Mountain is roughly the size of two football fields, surrounded by stone pillars with ancient patterns imprinted on their surfaces.

And from these stone pillars, streaks of black lightning shot into the sky, containing terrifying destructive power; these must be the lightning that struck him along the way.

I counted them roughly, and there were a total of eighty-one pillars, distributed around the top of the mountain.

The outermost layer consists of nine layers, and there are nine layers in total from the outside in. I don't know what the arrangement method is.

At the very center of the mountaintop, there are eight stone pillars arranged in a circle, and in the middle of these eight pillars is a ten-meter-high altar, which can also be considered a single pillar.

At the very center of the altar, a black ball of lightning was transmitting lightning to the eight outer pillars, and then from those eight pillars to the nine outermost pillars, and so on.

Then, Mo Xie was astonished to discover that something seemed to be faintly visible within the black lightning cluster on the altar.

Upon closer inspection, the drum appears to be a drum inside, which looks quite old. The drumhead is mostly dark blue-black, but there is a strange pattern on its body.

Mo Xie's pupils contracted, and he paused slightly, saying with some uncertainty.

"This is... a Kui Niu drum?"

The Kui dragon pattern is one of the main decorative patterns on the Kui ox drum. The image is mostly a long strip with an open mouth and curled tail. The shape is suitable for the structural lines of the bronze surface. It is mainly straight lines with curves as a supplement, which has a simple and ancient beauty!
"Yes, that's right. The Kui Niu Drum is a totem vessel of the Kui Niu."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, stroked his beard, and explained from the side.

"You can go to the altar now. Whether you can gain the approval of the Kui Niu depends on yourself."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie stepped into the array of stone pillars, passed through layers of stone pillars, and finally arrived at the altar, which was ten meters high.

Upon arriving at the altar, he discovered that there were steps leading up to it, and he then ascended to the top of the altar.

Furthermore, the closer one gets to the altar, the more violently the Qilin pendant on their chest vibrates.

Upon arriving at the platform, Mo Xie felt the power of the black lightning head up close, as if getting any closer would blast him into dust. At the same time, he could also see the Kui Niu Drum more clearly.

Before Mo Xie could observe further, the black lightning ball seemed to have changed slightly. The dark blue light in the Kui Niu Drum gradually condensed into a small ball of light, which then shot out a beam of light that went straight into his forehead.

"what happened?"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei, who was below the altar, was first taken aback, then immediately reacted. His hand, which was stroking his beard, trembled, and his whole body trembled slightly. His eyes were filled with excitement as he murmured to himself.

"Finally... finally someone has gained the approval of the Kui Niu, hahaha!"

When the dark blue light shone into his forehead, the dark blue radiance spread throughout Mo Xie's entire body. Feeling the comfort in his body, he couldn't help but close his eyes and quietly experience it.

At this moment, he had already entered the totem space. In the vast starry sky, dotted with stars, a beam of azure light shot from afar, directly into a patch of mist.

This mist does not belong to any region, but is independent outside. The Kui Niu is naturally not part of the Four Sacred Beasts lineage, and is definitely on equal footing.

The dark blue light dispelled the thick fog, revealing the true form of the Kui Niu.

The Kui Niu is large yet agile, with a bluish-gray body and glossy black fur, like a ghost moving through the night, as if an incredible power is hidden beneath its fur.

Its eyes were jet black and gleaming, like the deep night sky, containing wisdom and deep thought. Their depths seemed to see through all the illusions of the world, and to penetrate the deepest recesses of the human heart.

It has no horns like a cow should have, only one hoof, yet every step it takes makes the earth tremble, as if its very existence is a miracle.

Each time it appears, it seems to be accompanied by a violent storm. Its body shines with a dazzling light, like the light of the sun and moon. Its roar is as deafening as thunder!

In the ancient Chinese classic "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the Kui Niu is a mythical beast imbued with a mystical aura.

According to records, the Kui Niu lived in the ancient times, residing between mountains and seas. It often appeared during thunderstorms, controlling clouds and rain, and commanding wind and rain.

Its body, covered in black scales, appeared even more mysterious and unpredictable amidst the flashes of lightning.

Whenever it roars to the sky, the sound is like a divine drum, shaking the soul and making all things bow down!
Despite having only one leg, the Kui Niu is exceptionally agile, treading on water with its single leg as light as the wind, and can move freely even in the most rugged mountainous terrain.

Its skin is tough, like it's forged from black iron, and even sharp swords can hardly scratch it.

Although the Kui Niu possessed immense strength, it was not bloodthirsty and had a gentle nature. It fed on the energy of heaven and earth and was a deity revered by people in ancient times.

Its existence symbolizes the power of nature and the ideal state of harmonious coexistence.

In mythology, the Kui Niu is not only the embodiment of power, but also the guardian of nature and the order of heaven and earth!
"This is... the Kui Niu!"

Mo Xie gazed silently at the massive and agile Kui Niu, a look of shock flashing in his eyes. The domineering and majestic yet gentle aura of the Kui Niu filled him with awe.

At this moment, the Kui Niu turned its pupils and emitted a series of soul-stirring thunderous sounds, as if conveying some kind of message.

Outside, Zhang Zhiwei had already arrived at Mo Xie's side. When the latter opened his eyes, he hurriedly asked.

"Young friend Moye, how is it? Have you gained Kui Niu's approval?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie smiled slightly and nodded.

"Of course, the Kui Niu told me that it is currently traveling around outside, but it will continue to protect the Celestial Master's Mansion, so I will not take the Kui Niu Drum away."

"This……"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei hesitated. After all, Mo Xie had indeed passed the trial and gained the approval of the Kui Niu, and should take the Kui Niu Drum with her. Otherwise, how could she obtain information about the Kui Niu?

Mo Xie clearly saw Zhang Zhiwei's concerns and explained with a smile.

"Master, please rest assured, I naturally have a way to contact the Kui Niu, and I have already obtained what I wanted when I came here."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Zhiwei sighed and said to Mo Xie.

"Then I thank you here, young friend Mo Xie. Let's go and collect our rewards for passing the trial."

"Okay." (End of Chapter)
