No hope for eternal life

Chapter 439 Apprenticeship!

Therefore, Mu Changsheng's original plan was to abandon the black-clothed clone and try his best to protect the white-clothed clone. However, the situation has changed now, and the black-clothed clone's protection target has changed from the white-clothed clone to the original body.

Feng Qiansha's fire feathers once again easily shattered Mu Changsheng's triple fusion Collapse Heaven Seal, but when those fire feathers encountered Mu Changsheng's black-clothed clone, it was no longer possible for them to be as powerful as a hot knife through butter, and they all failed.

In the end, all the fire feathers were used up, but they still failed to break through the iron defense line of the black-clothed clone.

On the other side, Feng Qiansha's eyes were gloomy. From the moment Mu Changsheng showed his black-clothed clone, he knew that he had lost, and lost completely.

Feng Qiansha's phoenix body fell from the sky. At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to move. He was like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

Mu Changsheng didn't want to mock Feng Qiansha, so he just used his five-finger palm thunder to take Feng Qiansha's life from a distance.

Mu Changsheng wins!

The human race was jubilant. Although the competition between the human and demon races was once again forced into a draw by the demon race, the fact that Mu Changsheng cracked the demon race's conspiracy and killed the genius of the Phoenix race was enough to boost people's morale.

The demon clan was naturally dejected and heartbroken. In the first eight games, the demon clan won seven. It was a good situation, but it was turned back bit by bit by the human clan. How could the demon clan not be dejected when they were given hope and then their hope was shattered?

Yu Daoling looked at Mu Changsheng, who was unperturbed by the ups and downs on the field, and the chill in his heart grew stronger. No matter whether it was the old generation or the young generation, it seemed that the demon race would never be able to win over the human race.

"This battle among the ten realms is the only chance for our demon race to turn the tables!"

Those who can cultivate to this level must have a strong enough heart for Taoism. Yu Daoling was not shaken by this, but became more determined to achieve his goal.

The second competition between humans and demons ended here. Everyone dispersed, and Mu Changsheng and other disciples returned to Lingshan Sect under the leadership of Xiao Niansheng.

Just as Mu Changsheng was about to leave, Xiao Niansheng sent a message to stop him. When only two people were left on the main peak of the sect, Xiao Niansheng slowly spoke: "You have made great contributions this time, and paid the price of a peak avatar of the Tribulation Crossing. The loss of your avatar should be compensated by the sect. This is 500,000 contribution points."

"Thank you, Sect Master." Mu Changsheng said with gratitude. He was penniless now and just needed contribution points and top-grade spirit stones.

"There is one more thing." After a slight hesitation, Xiao Niansheng asked directly: "Are you willing to be my personal disciple?"

Originally, Xiao Niansheng had no intention of accepting a disciple, but today Mu Changsheng took the initiative to volunteer to go into battle, which really touched her.

Mu Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, obviously caught off guard. Xiao Niansheng had never accepted any disciples. If he became Xiao Niansheng's disciple, he would be the only founding disciple. One can imagine the significance of this.

Without waiting for Mu Changsheng to respond, Xiao Niansheng continued, "Don't worry about answering me, and don't worry about what will happen if you refuse. I'll give you three days to think about it. There is one thing I need to remind you of. Being my direct disciple is destined to be difficult, because I will train you as the successor to the Lingshan Sect's leader."

"In addition, if you become my direct disciple, your status in the sect will be automatically promoted from an outer disciple to an inner disciple. You may not be clear about the real difference between inner and outer disciples. In short, the sect treatment of inner and outer disciples is the same, but if they encounter danger, inner disciples will always rush ahead of outer disciples, and if they have to die, inner disciples will die first. These are all things you need to think clearly about first."

After listening to Xiao Niansheng's statement, Mu Changsheng answered almost without hesitation: "I think I can do what you said, and I am willing to become your disciple. But before I do, I have two things to report to you."

Xiao Niansheng nodded slightly and said, "Tell me now."

"First, I had already taken Yang Wuque as my master long before I joined the sect. Mr. Yang took great care of me, and the master-disciple relationship between him and me can never be severed. So if I take the sect master as my master, Yang Wuque will become the same generation as the sect master." Mu Changsheng said slowly. The master chooses his disciples, and the disciples also have to choose their masters. If Xiao Niansheng can't even tolerate Yang Wuque, then it's better not to take him as your master.

How could Xiao Niansheng not understand what Mu Changsheng meant? He smiled and replied, "It is not uncommon for one person to have multiple teachers in the Nine Realms. I don't mind at all."

"The second thing is more important." Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and said solemnly: "I am not afraid of being laughed at by the sect master. Ever since I heard the secret of the Ten Realms from Taoist Master, I have secretly made up my mind to fight for the position of the Ten Realms with all my strength. However, there is only one position of the Ten Realms. If I can't get it, it will be fine. But if I do, it will be equivalent to cutting off Senior You Wuye's path to breakthrough."

Mu Changsheng had never told anyone about his goal of reaching the Ten Realms, not because he was afraid of being laughed at, but because he did not want to show off. This time he spoke his heart out to Xiao Niansheng because he trusted him.

Mu Changsheng's attitude towards Xiao Niansheng has changed many times. At first, he admired him, but later he became suspicious because of You Huangsheng's death. Then, because of the friendliness of the You clan, his suspicion faded. Until that day when the Tianling Sect took sides to elect its leader, Xiao Niansheng took the initiative to give up the position of the Tianling Sect leader. Mu Changsheng's suspicion finally dissipated completely and turned back to admiration.

Xiao Niansheng couldn't help but ponder for a moment when she heard this. She naturally heard the hidden meaning in Mu Changsheng's words. You Wuye was her father-in-law, and in terms of closeness, they were no less close than her own disciple. If one day Mu Changsheng really had a conflict with You Wuye because of the Ten Realms Struggle, who should she help?

After a brief thought, Xiao Niansheng replied: "You should have lofty aspirations. It is a good thing that you can think of the Tenth Realm as your goal. If you can really become that unparalleled Tenth Realm cultivator in the future, I will naturally be proud of you, but the premise is that your position in the Tenth Realm must be obtained in an upright manner, not through conspiracy and calculation. For example, one day in the future, you and You Wuye are both Ninth Realm cultivators, and You Wuye starts to transcend the tribulation first. You can choose to begin transcending the tribulation with him and compete to see who can transcend the tribulation faster, but you cannot disrupt his tribulation. This is the difference between being upright and being scheming. If I want to help, I will only help the upright side."

Mu Changsheng nodded repeatedly, bowed respectfully to Xiao Niansheng and said, "I bow to your words, Master."

"Still calling me Sect Leader?" Xiao Niansheng asked with a smile in his eyes.

Mu Changsheng understood what he meant and bowed down: "Greetings, Master."

Xiao Niansheng accepted Mu Changsheng's greeting calmly. Accepting a disciple was a big deal, not to mention that she also shouldered the responsibility of Lingshan Sect, so she said to Mu Changsheng: "Three days later, I will hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony for you on Yinxue Peak."

Mu Changsheng had no objection, and then asked a question that had been buried for many years: "Master, do you know that You Huangsheng, who participated in the sect entrance examination with me, died in a strange way?"

Xiao Niansheng nodded slightly and said, "Afterwards, I specifically checked You Huangsheng's past performance. He had always performed well in the You Clan, so the You Clan sent him to take the entrance examination. But you also know the result. You Huangsheng clearly came here to die. There is obviously someone behind him who is instigating him."

Mu Changsheng remained silent. Although Xiao Niansheng did not mention the demon clan directly by name, apart from the demon clan, how many people would make a fuss about such things?
