No hope for eternal life

Chapter 520 Breaking through the bottleneck

"Disciple understands." Mu Changsheng said with a smile. He had found the only possible source of the problem, and all he had to do next was solve it.

Afterwards, Xiao Niansheng asked Mu Changsheng again: "Under the current circumstances, do you still insist on fighting for the position of the Ten Realms?"

"Of course." Mu Changsheng said firmly: "When it comes to conspiracy and the way of the soul, I know that I am far inferior to the Black Demon. Only by suppressing him in realm and standing higher can I defeat that evil villain."

"Very good." Xiao Niansheng showed an admiring look. If one gives up the original intention when encountering a little setback, what great things can be achieved?

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng received a healing pill from Xiao Niansheng, and all the external and internal injuries he had suffered from Emperor Changsheng were quickly healed.

Although according to the Black Demon, no one would disturb Mu Changsheng's practice anymore, Mu Changsheng still changed the place for the sake of caution. For this purpose, he circled a full half circle in the Sun Star, and Xiao Niansheng accompanied him throughout the whole process.

After arriving at the new place, Mu Changsheng started to practice again, while Xiao Niansheng stood by to protect him and was always alert to his surroundings.

Perhaps because Mu Changsheng's thoughts were now completely clear, this breakthrough went exceptionally smoothly, and Mu Changsheng's body also began to change from the inside out.

First, his internal organs turned from solid to virtual and transformed into a large ball of flame and golden light, flowing in Mu Changsheng's body. Then his flesh, blood, and bones also turned into golden light, reflecting Mu Changsheng's body with a golden glow.

Of course, this is not golden light in the simple sense, but the manifestation of the fusion of the extremely strong and yang true fire of the sun and the physical body.

Finally, the golden lights returned to their respective positions and shapes, and the light on Mu Changsheng's body gradually dimmed, but the aura around him continued to rise.

At the same time, the surrounding sun's true fire began to rush into Mu Changsheng's body frantically, and Mu Changsheng accepted it all, as if it was a bottomless pit, swallowing and swallowing non-stop.

"Success." Xiao Niansheng smiled, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

However, Xiao Niansheng did not relax her vigilance. The current success only meant that Mu Changsheng had broken through the bottleneck. It was impossible to cultivate a body of the ninth level of body refining in one go. Therefore, Mu Changsheng still needed to practice in seclusion here for a long time. As for how much time it would take, she was not sure.

At the same time, Xiao Niansheng commanded her clone in the Tianling Realm to go to the demon clan. She suddenly thought that Yi Qianhuan had been tricked by the Black Demon before. Perhaps Yi Qianhuan had a deeper understanding of the Black Demon's methods and could help Mu Changsheng.

After Xiao Niansheng found Yi Qianhuan, he directly stated his purpose: "You also know that my apprentice Mu Changsheng's original body was once captured by the Black Demon. I suspect that the Black Demon has left a hidden hand on Mu Changsheng's original body. Do you have a way to investigate?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Qianhuan shook his head slightly and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I also suspect that I was attacked by the Black Demon. I have used many methods to investigate myself over the years, but I have found nothing. Even if I help Mu Changsheng to investigate, I probably won't find any results."

Xiao Niansheng frowned slightly. There were only two possible results. One was that the Black Demon had indeed not done anything secretly, and the other was that the Black Demon's methods were too secretive and difficult to detect. The former was fine, but if it was the latter, it was really disturbing and like a thorn in the throat.

Xiao Niansheng didn't get the result he wanted, but he didn't leave. He suddenly said to Yi Qianhuan: "Mu Changsheng plans to compete for the position of the Tenth Realm. I have decided to support him."

Xiao Niansheng had long promised Mu Changsheng that she would persuade Yi Qianhuan to give up the position of the Tenth Realm and support Mu Changsheng instead. The reason why she spoke up now was because it was still uncertain whether Mu Changsheng could achieve the Ninth Realm of Body Refining before, and she had no capital to persuade him at all. But now it is different. Mu Changsheng's achievement of the Ninth Realm of Body Refining and survival of the wind and thunder catastrophe are just around the corner.

Yi Qianhuan was shocked when he heard this. He almost thought that Xiao Niansheng was joking with him, but when he saw Xiao Niansheng's serious expression, he realized with a serious face that Xiao Niansheng was serious.

After a long while, Yi Qianhuan said softly: "What right does Mu Changsheng have to fight for the position of the Ten Realms?"

Yi Qianhuan's question did not contain any sarcasm, but was based on the facts. He really wanted to know what Mu Changsheng had the right to do so. It was incredible to think that a young cultivator who had practiced for less than half a century would compete with those old fellows who had practiced for tens of thousands of years.

Xiao Niansheng naturally did not misinterpret Yi Qianhuan's meaning, and answered seriously: "Based on my understanding of him, in terms of character and talent, he is qualified to sit in the position of the Tenth Realm; and based on his strength, his clone will soon be able to refine the body to the Ninth Realm, and it is just around the corner to survive the wind and thunder tribulation; as for the Tenth Realm's Four Symbols Tribulation, it is even more impossible to stump him. This is also based on my judgment based on my understanding of him as a master."

"He has grown to this point!" Yi Qianhuan sighed. He did not doubt what Xiao Niansheng said. In terms of character, he had witnessed Mu Changsheng's undercover work in the Heavenly Demon Realm and risked his life to kill the Nine Infants Demon King. In terms of strength, Xiao Niansheng would not lie, because if he was not strong enough and tried to survive the Four Symbols Tribulation, he was simply courting death.

Then, Yi Qianhuan shook his head gently and said: "I know you are here to persuade me to give up the fight for the Tenth Realm, but you don't need to persuade me, I have already given up the fight."

"It's because of the Black Demon." Xiao Niansheng asked. She remembered that Yi Qianhuan had just said that he suspected that the Black Demon had attacked him.

"That's right." Yi Qianhuan said without hesitation: "Now, Mu Changsheng is facing the same situation as me. Even if he is strong enough, I am worried about him getting the Tenth Realm."

Yi Qianhuan knew very well that Xiao Niansheng not only wanted him to give up his position in the Tenth Realm, but also wanted him to support Mu Changsheng, but he chose to refuse.

Yi Qianhuan refused not because he still had a grudge against Mu Changsheng, but because he was completely afraid of the black demon.

Xiao Niansheng certainly knew what Yi Qianhuan was worried about, because she had the same worries, but she still insisted on persuading Yi Qianhuan: "When the enemy comes, we will fight back; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. You can't just deprive him of the right to choose because of a doubt. You have the right to choose to give up, and he also has the right to choose to persist."

Yi Qianhuan was speechless and began to admire Xiao Niansheng from the bottom of his heart, admiring her fairness and impartiality. Xiao Niansheng was obviously the person who had the closest relationship with the You Clan, but now he was supporting Mu Changsheng to compete with You Wuye for the position of the Ten Realms. Even though Mu Changsheng was Xiao Niansheng's direct disciple, Yi Qianhuan still couldn't understand it.

Of course, even though he couldn't understand it, Yi Qianhuan still highly recognized Xiao Niansheng's spirit. He had to admit that his previous hostility towards Xiao Niansheng was completely wrong.

Yi Qianhuan knew that even if the two of them continued to talk, neither of them would be able to convince the other, so he said, "Let Mu Changsheng come in person. I want to talk to him in person and try to find out the hidden dangers for him."
