No hope for eternal life

Chapter 515: Fire Method Begins

Ever since the revival of spiritual energy, Mu Xun has been traveling together with Lin Yu, and he has unknowingly fallen deeply in love with Lin Yu. Before, he was worried that Mu Changsheng would become the biggest obstacle between him and Lin Yu, but now that he has spoken out, he no longer has any concerns in his heart.

Afterwards, Mu Xun said goodbye in a hurry, both to report to Yi Qianhuan and to be anxious to see Lin Yu again.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng smiled knowingly and said to Mu Xun from behind: "Senior Sister Lin has lofty ambitions. Even if she likes someone, she will only like someone with the same lofty ambitions."

Mu Changsheng was encouraging Mu Xun in this way, and Mu Xun paused when he heard it, obviously he took it in.

After Mu Xun left, Mu Changsheng was in a good mood, and Yi Qianhuan took the initiative to reconcile. This meant that Xiao Niansheng's previous analysis of Yi Qianhuan was likely to come true. Not only would Yi Qianhuan not oppose him reaching the Tenth Realm, he would even strongly support him.

But these are all matters of the future. Mu Changsheng knew that his most important task at present was to reach the ninth level of body refinement as soon as possible and survive the catastrophe of wind and thunder.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng worked harder to study the secret art of inscriptions in the following days, hoping to develop a method to control fire as soon as possible.

Not long after this, another major event happened in the Nine Realms. That was the appearance of the spiritual vein of the Heavenly Saint Realm. This meant that the Great Emperor Changsheng could begin to transcend the tribulation in the Heavenly Saint Realm at any time. It also meant that the recovery of spiritual energy was gradually coming to an end. Spiritual veins from seven realms of the Nine Realms had appeared, leaving only the final Heavenly Human Realm and Heavenly Fire Realm.

Mu Changsheng became even more anxious about this, but he really had no other good solution.

It was not until three years later that a breakthrough was made in the research on the secret art of inscription. This progress was not achieved by Mu Changsheng or Old Man Shengu, but came from the Ji clan.

"Genius, what a genius idea." Elder Shen Gu read the progress report sent by the Ji clan and praised it highly: "As expected of a family that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, it is full of talented people."

"Do you also think it's feasible?" Mu Changsheng asked excitedly. He had finally waited for this day, as if he could already see the ninth and tenth realms waving at him.

“Although there are still some flaws, being able to achieve this is already the limit. After all, the inheritance is limited, and it is almost impossible to do better.” Elder Shen Gu commented.

"Then please help me complete this inscription, senior!" Mu Changsheng said with a fist. Although they were both in the eighth realm, he was not as proficient in inscriptions as old man Shengu.

Elder Shen Gu said with some concern: "Of course you can, but you have to think clearly. Using this inscription will cause considerable harm to yourself."

It turned out that although the Ji clan had researched the most core fire-controlling inscription among the inscription secrets, it still had some flaws, and they would be hurt by the fire magic every time they used it.

"Junior has already thought it through." Mu Changsheng said firmly. Old Man Shengu didn't know that his innate magical power could also heal injuries. In addition, his physical body was already strong, so he was not afraid of those sequelae at all.

As he spoke, Mu Changsheng had already summoned his black-clothed clone. He planned to use the inscription directly on the black-clothed clone.

Seeing this, Old Man Shengu stopped trying to dissuade him and directly began to help Mu Changsheng refine the inscription pattern.

Although the process of inscription was somewhat tortuous, Mu Changsheng's black-clothed clone's body refining foundation far exceeded that of ordinary eighth-level body refining cultivators. Even if the inscription failed and backfired, he could withstand it.

Therefore, after several failures, the fire-controlling inscription was finally completed, and Mu Changsheng couldn't wait to command his black-clothed clone to go deep into the magma under the Tianling Realm to test the effect of the inscription.

As the inscription pattern operated, the nine fireballs in Mu Changsheng's body that were originally incompatible with each other finally merged together. However, this fusion was not a complete fusion, but was in a wonderful state of fusion and repulsion, thus generating even more powerful power.

With the help of this powerful force, Mu Changsheng finally felt that his body refining speed had been greatly improved!

But at the same time, the backlash of the fire magic also occurred, and Mu Changsheng's meridians were seriously damaged. The backlash power of the fire magic was also far beyond Mu Changsheng's expectations.

In this regard, Mu Changsheng could only stop using the inscription and use water magic to heal his wounds.

"The backlash of fire-based body refining is too violent, and the water-based healing is too slow. This will inevitably slow down my body refining speed. I must think of a way to heal quickly." Mu Changsheng said to himself.

A moment later, Mu Changsheng used the power of the underground magma to fill the Fire Spirit Pearl with energy, and then Mu Changsheng left the Tianling Sect and came to the second spiritual mountain area, Dongbo Lake.

The Tianling Realm is mountainous but has little water. The Dongbo Lake is already the largest lake in the Tianling Realm. Mu Changsheng wants to take advantage of the geographical location of the Dongbo Lake to speed up his healing process using water magic.

After entering the lake, Mu Changsheng immediately used water magic to heal his wounds, and the healing speed was indeed accelerated.

Mu Changsheng scattered a few water spiritual objects around to add to the spiritual energy of the lake water, making the healing speed even faster.

In this way, Mu Changsheng recovered from his injuries in just half an hour.

So, Mu Changsheng used the Fire Spirit Pearl to refine his body with fire method again, while at the same time practicing water method to warm his meridians and resist the backlash of the fire method.

After many attempts, Mu Changsheng finally found the delicate balance between the two, allowing him to train his body and heal his injuries at the same time without delaying either.

However, the price to pay was that the water level of Dongbo Lake kept dropping. After only six months, all the water in Dongbo Lake was swallowed up by Mu Changsheng!

Mu Changsheng took a look at the completely dried up Dongbo Lake. Besides helplessness, he felt more excited. The body refining process in just six months was comparable to the previous hundred years of body refining. Such a speed was too fascinating.

Mu Changsheng knew that if he wanted to maintain this speed, he had to find more water sources. However, the remaining water sources in the Tianling Realm might not be as much as that in Dongbo Lake, so it was simply not enough.

"It seems that there is only one last way." Mu Changsheng thought silently. If we talk about the place with the most abundant water resources in the Nine Realms, it must be the Tianshui Realm. However, the Tianshui Realm is now the world of the demon clan. If he goes there rashly, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng found Xiao Niansheng and told him the problems he was facing.

Xiao Niansheng said without hesitation: "It's a small matter. I can accompany you to Tianshui Realm and guard the pass for you."

Mu Changsheng came here to ask for help, but when he heard that Xiao Niansheng wanted to go in person, he politely declined and said, "Master is very busy, so let Senior Brother accompany me to Tianshui Realm."

Xiao Niansheng insisted, "Your affairs must be kept secret for the time being. I am somewhat worried about letting others go. Besides, my two clones are in the Heavenly Spirit Realm and the Heavenly Nether Realm respectively. They can help me handle affairs and won't delay anything."

Hearing what Xiao Niansheng said, Mu Changsheng no longer insisted and agreed: "Then I'll trouble you, Master."
