Shi Mu felt extremely delighted as he transformed into the white ape. He couldn’t help but dance with excitement. He took a strange posture – he raised his hands and grimaced.
Then, a ‘bang’ sound resounded in his mind. Suddenly, the scenery in front of him changed. Shi Mu regained his consciousness; he found himself sitting in an open area in the woods.
Shi Mu realized that the dawn was approaching; the eastern sky was suffused with white light.
He stood up and looked at the sky. He was startled; so much so that he didn’t even pay attention to his clothes which had become wet because of the morning dew.
Shi Mu had seemingly entered his dreamland for a short while. However, an entire night had passed in reality.
Shi Mu shook his head. Then, he closed his eyes and started to recall the details of the ‘Moon Swallowing Art’ that he had seen in his dream.
