No hope for eternal life

Chapter 457 Marriage

"You can still laugh." Taoist Master Xi said with a look of anger on her face, but she felt sad for Mu Changsheng in her heart. From the original prodigy of the sect and the supreme destiny, he suddenly became a "mortal" with a lifespan of only a hundred years.

"Of course I can laugh." Mu Changsheng suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Dao Shi'an's wrist, looked into her eyes, and said lovingly: "I used to be bothered by your being a formation spirit, but now I can see through life and death, so how can I not see through these."

"You..." Taoist Shi'an was so shocked by Mu Changsheng's sudden confession that she was speechless and a little shy. This was an emotion she had never experienced before.

Mu Changsheng continued to speak love words: "Although I have experienced many hardships, I have learned a truth: cherish the person in front of you. I can assure you that I have completely forgotten about Senior Sister Lin Yu. From now on, I will only love you. I will ask the master to be a witness. If I violate this, it means that I am inconsistent in my words and deeds, and I am willing to be expelled from the sect."

"Now, I just want to ask you one question, are you willing?"

"I do, I do." Taoist Shi'an threw herself into Mu Changsheng's arms. This was something she had been dreaming about day and night, but she never expected that her dream would come true.

Mu Changsheng gently stroked the Taoist priest in his arms and said softly: "I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something. The matter between you and me can only be told to my parents, the sect master, and Mr. Yang. It's not because I'm afraid of criticism from outsiders, but because I'm worried that someone will deliberately target you because of me, such as the Black Demon. After all, you are an array spirit. If you are not careful, a ninth-grade array-breaking talisman may cost you your life."

After witnessing the devil's methods with his own eyes, Mu Changsheng knew that he had to be more cautious. Even though his original body had become a "useless person" and seemed to pose no threat to the Black Demon, he still needed to conceal his relationship with Taoist Master Xi for the sake of the future.

Taoist Master buried herself in Mu Changsheng's arms and said in a muffled voice: "I don't feel wronged, not at all. Being with you is my greatest happiness."

At this moment, Xiao Niansheng suddenly appeared, and said with a smile: "Great, lovers finally get married, and I am willing to be your witness."

Xiao Niansheng's powerful spiritual sense could easily cover the entire sect, so he naturally knew everything that happened within the sect.

"Thank you, Master." Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and thanked him. Dao Shi'an, because of Xiao Niansheng's arrival, quickly broke free from Mu Changsheng's embrace. Her face was a little red, but she still thanked him and said, "Thank you, Master."

Seeing this, Xiao Niansheng couldn't help but tease and said: "Is this still the Taoist Master Nanny I know? Why is she blushing? Also, since you have become my disciple's Taoist partner, you can no longer call me Sect Master. You should also call me Master."

After hearing this, Dao Shi'an gradually regained her carefree appearance, half-jokingly bowed to Xiao Niansheng and said, "Yes, Master."

After making fun of Master Dao, Xiao Niansheng turned to look at Mu Changsheng and said seriously: "I heard everything you just said. Since you let me be a witness, I will fulfill my duties. If you really do not practice what you said and betray Master Dao in the future, don't blame me for not showing any respect to you as a master and disciple. I will sever our master-disciple relationship and expel you from the sect."

Mu Changsheng also replied solemnly: "Disciple will remember Master's teachings."

Xiao Niansheng nodded, and felt more and more satisfied with Mu Changsheng.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng brought Taoist Master Nan to meet his parents. Although Mu Yanggu and Chen Wanru were a little surprised, they quickly accepted this daughter-in-law. They lived in Lingshan Sect and had many dealings with Taoist Master Nan. Naturally, they understood Taoist Master Nan's intentions and trusted her character.

Mu Changsheng specifically instructed: "Dad, Mom, this matter only needs to be known to our family members, and must not be told to anyone else, otherwise it may bring disaster to Shi Niang."

Mu Yanggu said quickly: "I've got it, I've got it. We can't help you with anything now. We'll do whatever you say and we won't cause any trouble for you."

"We are all family, there is no trouble." Taoist priest smiled and comforted the two elders.

Because Yang Wuque was still cultivating his clone, Mu Changsheng and Taoist Master An did not bother him any more and decided to wait until Yang Wuque came out of retreat before dealing with him.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng led the Taoist priest into the cave, and said softly: "Although we haven't held a formal wedding, with the witness of our master, we are already an official Taoist couple. I am sorry for inconvenienced you now. If we can wait until the day when all the demons are eliminated and the world is at peace, I will definitely hold a grand wedding for you and invite everyone I can to witness it."

"Who said there is no wedding?" Taoist Shi'an smiled playfully, and the scene around her suddenly changed drastically. A wedding scene was successfully built in an instant. This was an illusion that Taoist Shi'an could create with just a thought.

Mu Changsheng smiled knowingly. He remembered the time when he first met Taoist Master Nan. At that time, Taoist Master Nan liked to pull him into the illusion, but he was extremely repulsive.

Taoist priest, wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, said charmingly: "A wedding just for the two of us is enough."

Mu Changsheng put his arm around the Taoist priest's slender waist and said with a satisfied smile: "It is indeed enough."

……

A hundred days passed in the illusion, and only a few hours passed in reality. Returning to reality, Mu Changsheng did not dare to slack off. He had already sent his clone in white out in advance. For the safety of his clone in white, Mu Changsheng did not let him go to the Tianshui Realm, but kept him in the Tianshuang Realm.

As for the black-clothed clone, he has been staying in the cave and practicing diligently. In the past, Mu Changsheng often ignored the black-clothed clone, but now he has to focus on training him. The white-clothed clone is refining his body, and Mu Changsheng plans to let the black-clothed clone practice body training as well, in preparation for future experiments with the Nine Realms of Body Refining Method.

In a blink of an eye, a year later, under Mu Changsheng's vigorous training, the black-clothed clone not only made rapid breakthroughs in his cultivation and reached the initial stage of tribulation, but also reached the tribulation level in the Five Thunder Body Tempering realm.

After the black-clothed clone broke through to the Tribulation Realm, Mu Changsheng also let the black-clothed clone go out of the sect to explore. The black-clothed clone needed to wait for a new branch to appear in the world to help it break through quickly.

For safety reasons, although the white-clothed clone and the black-clothed clone were both in the Tianshuang Realm, Mu Changsheng did not let the two travel together to avoid accidents, so the two clones were taken care of together.

Although the harvest from the Tianshuang Realm was not as great as that from the Tianshui Realm, Mu Changsheng had also accumulated a wealth of over one million top-grade spirit stones over the past year. However, he was still far from his goal of ten million top-grade spirit stones.

Mu Changsheng himself was not idle either. Apart from occasionally accompanying his parents and Taoist master, he spent all his time learning the art of talismans from Old Man Shengu.

Because of the injury on my soul, I am unable to refine the talisman myself, but fortunately the talisman is refined directly on the body. Mu Changsheng does not need to do it himself. He can learn by just feeling the method used by old man Shengu.

The fact that Mu Changsheng himself stayed in the sect was a rare piece of good news for Old Man Shengu. It allowed him to conduct experiments on Mu Changsheng at any time, which was very convenient for his research on talismans.

During this year, Mu Changsheng has learned several eighth-grade talismans. He himself is unable to refine an eighth-grade talisman, but his clone in white can.

One day, news suddenly came from the Sub-Saint Realm that the spiritual vein of the Sub-Saint Realm had finally appeared.

When the spiritual vein first appears in the world, it is often the period with the most opportunities and treasures. Mu Changsheng knew that a carnival was inevitable.

At that moment, countless cultivators rushed to the Sub-Saint Realm frantically. Mu Changsheng’s two clones were no exception and went to the Sub-Saint Realm respectively.

Mu Changsheng himself stayed in the sect and could often get the fastest first-hand information from Taoist Master, which was a considerable advantage.
