No hope for eternal life

Chapter 372 Lord of the World

Mu Changsheng did not dare to watch the fight for too long and fled quickly. With his current strength, a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm could kill him with just one blow.

Perhaps because Mu Changsheng's cultivation was too weak, the cultivators from both sides in the melee did not pay special attention to Mu Changsheng, allowing Mu Changsheng to escape from the scene.

Mu Changsheng flew at high speed all the way and returned safely to the capital of the Northern Yuan Kingdom in one day.

But just as Mu Changsheng returned to the capital, reports about the battle at Dilong Cave also reached the capital and spread throughout the streets and alleys. The most shocking piece of news was: The seventh prince Yuanlang died in battle!

Yuan Lang is dead, and Mu Changsheng no longer has to worry about offending Yuan Lang. However, this does not make him relax, but makes him feel more anxious.

Yuan Lang, as a prince, could also die in battle, which indirectly verified Mu Changsheng's guess about the strength of the two countries. The strength of Southern Liang Kingdom may have surpassed that of Northern Yuan Kingdom. Southern Liang Kingdom may even have begun to encroach on the territory of Northern Yuan Kingdom. The battle in Dilong Cave is a clear proof of this.

However, Mu Changsheng knew that his current strength was still too weak and it was useless to worry about these things, so he quickly returned to Juxian Pavilion and exchanged the Fire Flame Pearl for one thousand top-grade spirit stones.

After the top-grade spirit stones and earth dragon beads were prepared, Mu Changsheng immediately began to practice and break through in seclusion.

……

Three years passed in a flash. Mu Changsheng broke through one realm every year. Three years later, he just broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. Moreover, Mu Changsheng's body and power training realms had been steadily improving with his cultivation, and now he had also broken through to the Spirit Transformation level.

At this time, there was still more than half a year left before the five-year mission deadline, so Mu Changsheng completed the mission ahead of schedule.

Just as Mu Changsheng completed the breakthrough, the voice of the Dragon Palace Spirit rang in his mind again: "You have completed the seventh test and can get a reward worth 30,000 top-grade spirit stones. If you continue to participate in the eighth test, if you fail the test, you can only get a reward worth 10,000 top-grade spirit stones."

"Go on." Mu Changsheng said firmly. The war between Southern Liang and Northern Yuan was imminent, and the world was already in chaos. He knew that the subsequent tests would be even more difficult, but even if he failed in the final mission and could only get a reward of 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, he would accept it.

"Very good, the content of the eighth test is to become the master of this world, limited to ten years." The voice of the spirit of Dragon Palace came faintly.

"Lord of the World! Ten years!" Mu Changsheng was shocked. He had been guessing what the content of the eighth test would be, but he never expected it to be this, because this should be the content of the last test. Now that the eighth test is the Lord of the World, what should the ninth test be?

However, the matter was done, and Mu Changsheng knew that even if he wanted to regret it, it would be too late, so he might as well think about how to complete the task first.

"Now that the Southern Liang Kingdom and the Northern Yuan Kingdom are fighting each other, it is not impossible for me to gain the upper hand." Mu Changsheng comforted himself.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng stood up. He had been in seclusion for three years and had no idea what the situation was like outside. He had to understand the situation before he could formulate a strategy.

As soon as Mu Changsheng walked out of the room, he saw a maid guarding outside the door, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Sir Chen, you have finally come out of retreat. The Great Sage Master has ordered you to find him as soon as you come out." The maid said hurriedly.

"I understand." Mu Changsheng nodded slightly, and rewarded the other party with a few high-quality spirit stones. He then asked: "Do you know why the Great Sage Master wants to see me?"

The maid's cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the high-grade spirit stones were undoubtedly a windfall for her. She received such a benefit, so she naturally told him everything she knew: "The Great Sage Master must have come to you because of the war on the front line. It is said that the front line has suffered a series of defeats and is already short of manpower."

"It seems that the situation is indeed not optimistic." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart, and then went to find the great sage master.

The Great Sage Master is currently working furiously at his desk. He is in charge of the Juxian Pavilion and has a lot of daily affairs to deal with.

When the Great Sage Master discovered Mu Changsheng's arrival, he suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "You have broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

"Thanks to the cultivation in the pavilion, I was lucky enough to make a breakthrough." Mu Changsheng said with a fist.

"Good, good, good, your breakthrough is really timely." The Great Sage Master said repeatedly, extremely surprised. He knew that Mu Changsheng had been in seclusion for three years, but he didn't expect that Mu Changsheng had reached the Divine Transformation Realm as soon as he came out.

"I wonder why the great sage asked me to come here?" Mu Changsheng asked, getting to the point.

When Mu Changsheng asked this question, the smile on the face of the Great Sage Master faded a lot for a short time. He pointed to the map beside him and explained: "In recent years, Nanliang has been militaristic and wants to swallow up our Beiyuan in one fell swoop. In order to resist the invasion of Nanliang, we have set up three major defense lines, namely the Dilong Cave Defense Line in the southwest, the Longhe Defense Line in the central and southern parts, and the sea defense line in the southeast. During the three years when you were in seclusion, the Dilong Cave Defense Line and the sea defense line have been broken, and only the Longhe Defense Line is still holding on. Now the Longhe Defense Line is a nail that blocks the invasion of Nanliang across the board, and it must not be lost. Therefore, both the enemy and us are stationed in the Longhe battlefield to prepare for war. This battle is related to all our honor and disgrace. You should be able to imagine that once Beiyuan loses to Nanliang, we, the Beiyuan cultivators, will never have a chance to make a breakthrough again."

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly, agreeing very much with the Great Sage Master's statement. He had even killed Liang Ruoxu, the adopted son of the King of Southern Liang. Once he lost the protection of Northern Yuan, he would definitely be hunted down by the cultivators of Southern Liang.

More importantly, once the Northern Yuan Dynasty is destroyed, Mu Changsheng will have no way to reap the benefits, and the difficulty of his mission will instantly increase countless times.

"I am willing to go to the Longhe battlefield." Mu Changsheng said with a fist, asking for battle. He had heard that the Longhe battlefield had become a strategic military location. Once Beiyuan was defeated in the Longhe battlefield, the situation would be over. Therefore, Mu Changsheng's first priority was to help Beiyuan defend the Longhe battlefield.

"Okay, if everyone has the same heart as Fellow Daoist Chen, we can definitely overcome the difficulties together." The Great Sage said with satisfaction. He had asked Mu Changsheng to come here in order to send Mu Changsheng to the Longhe battlefield. Now that Mu Changsheng took the initiative to speak, he saved himself a lot of words.

Then, the Great Sage gave Mu Changsheng a token and said, "Generally, cultivators in the early stage of transformation cannot serve as the leader of ten thousand men, but I believe you are qualified for the position of the leader of ten thousand men. Take my token and go to the Longhe battlefield to find Grand Marshal Yuan Ming. I guarantee that you can get the position of the leader of ten thousand men."

"Thank you, great master." Mu Changsheng did not refuse. The position of the captain of ten thousand men was very useful to him. The Longhe battlefield could be roughly divided into five levels according to the official positions, namely the captain of ten thousand men, the captain of centurions, the captain of a thousand men, the captain of ten thousand men and the marshal. The position of the captain of ten thousand men was only below the marshal, which was already a high position with power and influence, and he could also have a certain say.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng followed the team that was heading to the Longhe battlefield and went to the Longhe battlefield together.

One day later, at the Longhe battlefield, compared to the last time, the military camp had expanded several times, and countless monks were flying around in the sky, making it seem even busier.

As supporting monks, Mu Changsheng and his group first met with Yuan Ming, the Grand Marshal of the Northern Yuan Kingdom. Yuan Ming arranged suitable official positions for each person, and Mu Changsheng got the position of the captain of ten thousand men as he wished.

However, after getting the official position, Mu Changsheng did not leave, but deliberately stayed and stayed until the end.
