No hope for eternal life

Chapter 414 People’s Hearts Change

Before, when Mu Changsheng faced the cultivators of the Divine Sea Realm, he always dealt with them from a distance by using formations. Now, he felt the pressure of the Divine Sea Realm at close range, and the pressure was many times greater.

However, Mu Changsheng's cultivation foundation is extremely solid, and he has passed two levels of lifeless thunder tribulations. His strength far exceeds that of his peers. The mere pressure of divine power can only make him feel pressure. It is absolutely impossible to break him down with pressure.

Just because Mu Changsheng could easily withstand the pressure of Xiao Jingshan's divine power doesn't mean others can. In a short moment, several cultivators in the middle stage of tribulation were crushed.

Afterwards, Xiao Jingshan used some secret method to increase his own divine power and pressure. The pressure on everyone soared again, and they were eliminated one after another.

Half a cup of tea later, only ten cultivators including Mu Changsheng and Lin Yu were still standing on the field, and Xiao Jingshan withdrew his divine power.

"You, you, go over there and compete..." Xiao Jingshan gave instructions one by one, dividing Mu Changsheng and the other ten people into five groups, and the five groups competed simultaneously.

The opponent Xiao Jingshan assigned to Mu Changsheng was a masked female cultivator, and Mu Changsheng did not know her.

"There is only one rule for the competition. You are not allowed to use external objects made by others. If you are confident that you can cheat in front of me, then go ahead and cheat." Xiao Jingshan said calmly: "The competition begins."

Mu Changsheng did not rush to take action, but instead clasped his fists and introduced himself, saying, "Mu Changsheng, an outer sect disciple of Lingshan Sect."

Upon hearing this, the masked woman also introduced herself as coming from home: "Qianji Pavilion, Xie Wan."

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist from Qianji Pavilion. Please forgive me if I have offended you later." Mu Changsheng said with a smile.

Qianji Pavilion, like the Du family, is a force in the Tianling Realm. However, Qianji Pavilion has an eighth-level supernatural power realm expert in charge, and its foundation is much stronger than that of the Du family.

There are nine spiritual mountain regions in the Tianling Realm. The first, second and third spiritual mountain regions are directly governed by the Tianling Sect, the fourth, fifth and sixth spiritual mountain regions are under the jurisdiction of the demon clan, and the seventh and eighth spiritual mountain regions are under the jurisdiction of the Qianji Pavilion. The Du family governs the last ninth spiritual mountain region.

In the Tianling Realm, where every inch of land is valuable, the sect is able to allow Qianji Pavilion to govern two areas, which is second only to the demon clan. This shows the sect's trust in Qianji Pavilion.

Qianji Pavilion made its fortune through the intelligence business. It is said that the old Pavilion Master of the Eighth Realm of Qianji Pavilion also participated in the sect's entrance examination when he was young, but failed to pass the examination. So he had to settle for the second best and established Qianji Pavilion in the Tianling Realm, and slowly made his fortune.

After Qianji Pavilion became prosperous, it actively sought cooperation with Tianling Sect and made a considerable contribution to Tianling Sect's intelligence work. The two sects can be said to be closely connected, and Qianji Pavilion is almost becoming a subordinate sect like Lingshan Sect.

"Mr. Mu, you don't have to be polite. I've heard of your great name a long time ago. Even if I lose, I will just admit defeat with a sincere heart." Xie Wan replied with a chuckle. Qianji Pavilion made its fortune from intelligence, so naturally she had some information about Mu Changsheng.

"Young lady, please be magnanimous and make the first move." Mu Changsheng stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing this, Xie Wan stopped being polite and threw the sword in his hand, flying through the air towards Mu Changsheng.

The one that Mu Changsheng sent into battle this time was his original body that he had just recalled. His original body's strength was far beyond that of the cultivators of the same level. With the blessing of the secret technique of refining strength, Mu Changsheng only needed two punches with 80% of his strength to knock Xie Wan's natal flying sword away.

Xie Wan recalled her natal flying sword. As a sword cultivator, most of her strength was in that natal flying sword. She immediately released her natal flying sword again to attack Mu Changsheng. From the collision just now, she saw the gap between the two of them, so she used all her strength in this sword!

Xie Wan's natal flying sword attacked again with an indomitable momentum. Mu Changsheng did not dare to underestimate it. He activated the Five Thunders to strengthen himself. The power of thunder gathered on his right fist and punched out with all his strength.

The lightning fist was like a tiger descending from a mountain, easily crushing the momentum of Xie Wan's natal flying sword, and then knocking his natal flying sword out again.

Xie Wan's strongest attack was easily resolved by Mu Changsheng. Xie Wan also knew that it would be a waste of time to continue fighting, so he chose to admit defeat.

"The reputation of the Lifeless Personality is well-deserved. I wish that Mr. Mu can achieve the status of the Great Emperor of the Nine Realms as Senior Mo Lianyue did as soon as possible." Xie Wan said with blessing. Her blessing also represented the change in the mentality of the cultivators of the Nine Realms towards the Lifeless Personality.

In the past, people thought that even if a cultivator with an inanimate character was much stronger than those at the same level, his future achievements were destined to be limited, so few people were optimistic about him. However, Mo Lianyue's breakthrough proved to the world that an inanimate character could also reach the ninth level. As a result, the inanimate character became quite popular, and people wished they could also have the inanimate character. There were even many cultivators who claimed that the inanimate character should be renamed the supreme character.

In a sense, Mo Lianyue's breakthrough actually increased Mu Changsheng's fame.

"Thank you for your good wishes, young lady." Mu Changsheng responded to Xie Wan with a smile.

Mu Changsheng was the one who finished the competition the fastest, so he turned to observe the competitions of the others.

In addition to Lin Yu, Mu Changsheng was also particularly concerned about the competition of another person, that was Du Qiyu.

When a large spirit stone mine appeared in the Chaos Demon Sea, Mu Changsheng had competed with Du Qiyu for the qualification to fight against the demon clan. At that time, Mu Changsheng suspected that Du Qiyu was afraid of death and deliberately gave up. Now, after seeing the character of his father Du Ruchang, Mu Changsheng's suspicion of Du Qiyu has deepened.

Mu Changsheng seriously suspected that Du Qiyou was the kind of extremely smart person that Yang Wuque described. Being able to pass the sect's entrance examination did not mean that Du Qiyou was necessarily a good person.

Being smart is a good thing, but if intelligence is used in the wrong place, it will be no different from being stupid.

Mu Changsheng's cultivation has soared in recent years, and Du Qiyu has not been left behind at all. He has also broken through to the middle stage of tribulation. It seems that he has received a lot of support and help from the Du family.

Soon, Lin Yu and Du Qiyou both won easily, and the winners of the five matches were decided one after another.

Xiao Jingshan re-divided the groups, and the five groups started competing again, and Mu Changsheng's opponent this time was Du Qiyu.

As soon as Du Qiyou came up, he clasped his fists and apologized to Mu Changsheng: "I heard about the conflict between my father and Senior Brother Mu before. I have already advised my father. There will definitely not be such a thing happening again. I also apologize to Senior Brother on behalf of my father. I hope Senior Brother will forgive me."

"Brother Du, you are too polite. I should call you brother. You and I are from the same school. The Du family presides over the ninth spiritual mountain area of ​​the Tianling Realm. We are all one family. It's OK to admit your mistakes and correct them. There's no question of forgiveness or not." Mu Changsheng responded indifferently, neither intimately nor overly distant.

"I feel relieved with what Senior Brother Mu said." Du Qiyou said with a smile: "On the road of cultivation, the one who has achieved success comes first. I should still call you Senior Brother. I have already competed with you in the previous sect competition. Now we have only broken through a realm together. The result will not change, so there is no need to compete again. I admit defeat."

"Thank you very much, Junior Brother Du." Mu Changsheng replied indifferently, accepting both Du Qiyu's surrender and the title of Senior Brother Du Qiyu.

Du Qiyou didn't show it on his face, but he felt like Mu Changsheng had seen through him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He was furious: "One day, I will trample you hard under my feet."

After Du Qiyu, Mu Changsheng faced his third opponent, He Jiongming from the Shadow Killing Pavilion of Tianshui Realm.
