No hope for eternal life

Chapter 514 Apology

Although the inheritance jade slip of the Inscription Art had been destroyed by the Nine Infants Demon King's self-destructive power, Mu Changsheng had only received 90% of the inheritance. However, this 90% of the inheritance was much richer than the incomplete version of the Inscription Art that Mu Changsheng had obtained before, and some of it even involved the core of the art.

Mu Changsheng handed over the newly acquired inscription secret technique to Old Man Shengu without reservation, and he would study the complete version of the secret technique together with him.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng also summoned back the black-clothed clone who was far away in the Tianyou Realm. The white-clothed clone had just recovered from a serious injury, and the Thunder God Fruit was almost burned out. His body refining foundation was far inferior to that of the black-clothed clone, so he planned to cultivate the black-clothed clone as a ninth-level clone.

The black-clothed clone focuses on cultivation, while the white-clothed clone studies methods to speed up body refining. This is Mu Changsheng's plan.

As for the top-grade spirit stones needed to overcome the tribulation, Mu Changsheng no longer needs to worry about it, because Xiao Niansheng has already promised that she will cover all the spirit stones needed for Mu Changsheng to overcome the tribulation.

In addition, including Mu Changsheng's research on the secret art of inscriptions, Xiao Niansheng also agreed to help him find the Ji clan to study together. The Ji clan is good at talismans, which have similar principles to inscriptions, and will definitely be of help.

Mu Changsheng was already deeply moved by Xiao Niansheng's help. If Mu Changsheng were asked to use one word to describe Xiao Niansheng, he could only think of one word - selfless dedication.

Xiao Niansheng is the one who truly practices justice with his own actions, and Mu Changsheng often regards him as a role model in his heart.

Just when Mu Changsheng was practicing and researching in full swing, Mu Xun suddenly came to him.

"Long time no see, how have you been lately?" Mu Changsheng greeted Mu Xun warmly. He also noticed that Mu Xun's cultivation had broken through to the Divine Sea Realm.

"Not bad." Mu Xun forced a smile: "I and several other fellow disciples have been searching for treasures in the Heavenly Nether Realm recently, and the harvest is not small."

"I also heard about your undercover work in the Heavenly Demon Realm, and how you killed the Nine-Infant Demon King who was about to pass the tribulation. You are truly famous now." Mu Xun said half-jokingly. He is already under a lot of pressure facing Mu Changsheng. They are of the same generation, and they are still calculating carefully for a few resources, but Mu Changsheng can already compete with the cultivators of the Ninth Realm.

Although Mu Changsheng didn't know what was said about him, he could guess roughly. He shook his head and said, "Don't listen to the rumors. I was able to kill the Nine Infants Demon King thanks to the cooperation of many Nine Realms seniors. Also, my method happened to perfectly restrain the Nine Infants Demon King, so I had some luck."

"It's not good to be too modest. Others will say you are pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger." Mu Xun said jokingly, and then finally stated his purpose: "Elder Yi Qianhuan asked me to come to you."

"Oh." Mu Changsheng was a little surprised, and then asked: "What did Elder Yi say?"

Mu Xun observed Mu Changsheng's expression and said carefully: "He said that you may have guessed it. The attack on you when you were looking for the Earth Spirit Bead and the incident with You Huangsheng were all arranged by him. He now admits his mistakes and hopes to get your forgiveness and resolve the past grudges."

At the same time, Mu Xun took out a storage ring and handed it to Mu Changsheng, saying: "This is the gift he asked me to give you as compensation."

Mu Changsheng took the storage ring and took a look at it. In addition to millions of top-grade spirit stones, there were also many rare spiritual objects of various types. The total value should be more than three million top-grade spirit stones. This gift was indeed not light.

However, Mu Changsheng still returned the storage ring to Mu Xun, and said with a smile: "I already understand Elder Yi's intentions, and I am naturally willing to resolve those misunderstandings. As for apology, there is no need, after all, I was not really hurt."

"Aren't you angry?" Mu Xun asked doubtfully. When he learned about those things from Yi Qianhuan, he was very angry for Mu Changsheng.

“It’s impossible to say that I’m not angry at all, but the same thing goes, after all, no real harm has been caused to me, and there’s no need to keep pursuing him. As the head of Elder Yi’s clan and a master of the Ninth Realm, it’s rare for him to take the initiative to admit his mistakes.” Mu Changsheng shook his head and said.

"Okay." Mu Xun took back the storage ring and asked Xiang Mu Changsheng: "Do you need me to tell him something?"

Mu Changsheng pondered for a moment, and said, "I do have something I want you to tell him: Everyone has come a long way from a weak period, so I hope that Elder Yi will stop looking down on other people's lives. Haven't you heard that kings, princes, generals, and ministers are all of different species?"

"I will definitely convey your message." Mu Xun said solemnly, but he did not leave. Instead, he stood there, somewhat hesitant.

Mu Changsheng noticed that Mu Xun was in a bad mood when they first met, so he took the initiative to say: "Do you have anything else to ask me? Just tell me, if I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

"I..." Mu Xun seemed to be hit in the heart. He lowered his head slightly, somewhat afraid to face Mu Changsheng.

"This is not like you. After not seeing you for a few years, you have become so unfamiliar with me." Mu Changsheng said jokingly.

Mu Xun mustered up the courage to raise his head, but his tone was still a little flustered and he said: "I, I seem to like Lin Yu. Of course, this is just my own idea. I don't know what Lin Yu thinks."

Mu Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, and finally understood why Mu Xun was so shy. After all, the news that he once liked Lin Yu was known to everyone in the sect.

"I thought it was something else." Mu Changsheng smiled and said, "Senior Sister Lin has clearly rejected me a long time ago, and I have already given up on that idea. The fact that you like Senior Sister Lin only shows that your vision is as good as mine."

After listening to Mu Changsheng's explanation, Mu Xun breathed a sigh of relief. He had been feeling guilty about coveting his brother's wife recently, but now he finally let it go: "I'm glad you don't mind."

"Of course I don't mind." Mu Changsheng shook his head and smiled: "You don't know, I have already become a Taoist partner with Taoist Master An, but I didn't tell you because I didn't want to spread this matter to others."

Mu Xun had long known about Taoist Master's feelings for Mu Changsheng. Now that he knew that the two were already together, he naturally seemed very happy: "I understand. This is an extraordinary period. I will keep it a secret for you."

"Don't be happy so soon." Mu Changsheng reminded Mu Xun, "Senior Sister Lin has lofty ambitions. She once told me that she would never find a Taoist partner in her life. The death of Sect Master Shangguan must have dealt her a heavy blow. Now she probably has no intention of finding a Taoist partner."

"I understand." Mu Xun nodded, but he was not scared at all.
