No hope for eternal life

Chapter 419 Return to Lingshan Sect

Mu Changsheng's last request was a precaution. In Lingshan Sect, if Old Man Shengu killed his original body, Old Man Shengu would definitely not be able to escape. In order to prevent Old Man Shengu from being too careful about the severity of his attack, even if the other party did not consider Mu Changsheng's life, he would have to consider his own life.

As for why Mu Changsheng chose Lingshan Sect instead of Tianling Sect, one reason was that he was closer to Lingshan Sect's Array Spirit Taoist Master. The Array Spirit sitting in the sect was enough to suppress all cultivators below the ninth realm, and Old Man Shengu was no exception.

The second reason is that according to time calculations, the spiritual veins of the Tianshuang Realm will soon appear in the world, and returning to Lingshan Sect this time can be regarded as a way to make advance preparations.

Old Man Shengu was an experienced man, so he naturally understood that Mu Changsheng's fourth request was the real trump card. When he arrived at Lingshan Sect, he would naturally be restricted in every way, and even his own life would be in the hands of Lingshan Sect. This inevitably made him hesitate.

Old Man Shengu stared at Mu Changsheng with an extremely reluctant look. It was really impossible to find another research subject as suitable as Mu Changsheng. Just based on Mu Changsheng's lifeless personality, apart from Mo Lianyue, Mu Changsheng was the only known person in the world.

After hesitating for a long time, Elder Shen Gu gritted his teeth and agreed: "Good boy, I agree to all your requests, but you must swear a great oath. The content of the great oath does not need to be long, just one thing, promise that I will cooperate with my experiments for at least two months a year. If you are delayed due to cultivation or other reasons, you must make up for it in full."

“No problem, but senior also needs to swear a great oath in your heart, promising to give me the Heavenly Soul Ginseng intact, and senior can only use your original body to experiment on my original body.” Mu Changsheng replied.

Just like that, Mu Changsheng and Old Man Shengu swore a great oath to their inner demons under the witness of each other and reached an oath. Then Old Man Shengu handed the Heavenly Soul Ginseng to Mu Changsheng.

Looking at the Heavenly Soul Ginseng in his hands, Mu Changsheng was quite excited. With this thing, Yang Wuque would be able to practice again and regain his former glory.

"Boy, come with me to Lingshan Sect now." Old Man Shengu said impatiently.

"Please wait a moment, senior. I still need to say goodbye to Elder Gao." Mu Changsheng said with a fist. It was reasonable for him to say goodbye to Gao Chong.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng found Gao Chong and told him about the agreement between himself and Old Man Shengu.

After listening to this, Gao Chong sighed softly. Mu Changsheng had already made a great vow to his inner demon, and it was too late for him to stop him.

Therefore, Gao Chong could only warn Mu Changsheng: "Shen Gu is crazy about research and cannot be judged by common sense. Even if you have made three rules with him, you must be more careful and cautious when dealing with him."

"Disciple will remember this." Mu Changsheng nodded in response.

"Is it worth it for a Heavenly Soul Ginseng?" Gao Chong asked suddenly. He could naturally guess that Mu Changsheng was looking for the Heavenly Soul Ginseng for Yang Wuque, so what Gao Chong really wanted to ask was, is it worth it to put his own body in danger for a Yang Wuque whose cultivation had been completely destroyed?

Mu Changsheng's answer was just one simple word: "Worth it!"

To Mu Changsheng, Yang Wuque is both a good teacher and a helpful friend. Not only did he give him tremendous help when he was in humble beginnings, but Yang Wuque also often gave him good advice and suggestions on his later path of cultivation, helping him solve many problems. Mu Changsheng knew he could never repay him for these, and only this Heavenly Soul Ginseng could truly allow him to express his gratitude.

"Good." Gao Chong nodded in praise. For the sect, what they needed most was someone like Mu Changsheng who valued friendship and loyalty.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng apologized to Gao Chong and said, "With my disciple's departure, the mission of guarding Xiawei Island cannot continue. I need someone else to guard Xiawei Island on my behalf."

"That's fine." Gao Chong waved his hand and said, "I will arrange for other disciples to guard Xiawei Island, but your original contribution reward for guarding Xiawei Island will be deducted. Do you have any objection?"

"Disciple is convinced." Mu Changsheng said respectfully. Gao Chong enforces the law strictly and distinguishes between public and private affairs. In Mu Changsheng's opinion, it is a blessing for the sect.

Finally, this clone of Mu Changsheng followed Elder Shengu to Lingshan Sect. At the same time, Mu Changsheng himself, who was in Tianling Sect, also set off for Lingshan Sect. However, before leaving, Mu Changsheng specially asked someone to pass a message to Yang Wuque, who was far away in Tianyou Realm, saying that he had important matters to attend to and asked him to return to Lingshan Sect as soon as possible.

Mu Changsheng did not directly mention the Heavenly Soul Ginseng. He wanted to give Yang Wuque a surprise and also prevent the news of the Heavenly Soul Ginseng from leaking out to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

……

Half a day later, Mu Changsheng's black-clothed clone, led by Old Man Shengu, arrived at Lingshan Sect first.

Before Mu Changsheng entered the sect, he saw Taoist Master Nan waiting for him from afar. After entering the sect, Taoist Master Nan pointed her finger at Mu Changsheng's chest and said resentfully: "You have no conscience, you finally came back."

Mu Changsheng laughed awkwardly and apologized, "Didn't the spiritual veins of the Heavenly Spirit Realm appear? I'm really too busy to turn around. Please forgive me, sister."

"Boy, where is your original body?" Old Man Shengu interrupted. He had been thinking about Mu Changsheng's original body.

"What are you yelling about?" Taoist Master suddenly frowned and said, "This is Lingshan Sect. Once you enter our Lingshan Sect, you must abide by our sect's rules. Here, Sect Master Xiao is the eldest and I am the second. Sect Master Xiao doesn't have time to watch you every day, but I will keep an eye on you all the time. If I find that you are dishonest in the slightest, I can suppress you with one hand."

Taoist Master had already learned what had happened from Gao Chong, so she gave Old Man Shengu a warning right from the start to make him realize his situation.

Old Man Shengu could tell at a glance that Master Dao was a formation spirit. Seeing himself being suppressed in such a way, he became furious.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng quickly intervened and said, "Please forgive me, senior. This is her temper. Besides, my master is on the way and will arrive tomorrow."

Old man Shen Gu snorted coldly and said nothing more. After all, he was under someone's roof and had to bow his head.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng arranged for Old Man Shengu to live on Qingyun Peak, which was adjacent to Mu Changsheng's Duzhao Peak in Lingshan Sect, and would also facilitate future communication between the two.

"When you arrive tomorrow, don't forget to come find me." Old Man Shengu said.

"I'll make note of it." Mu Changsheng nodded in response.

Without the interruption of Elder Shengu, Taoist Master An became more intimate with Mu Changsheng, and said with a smile: "I have heard a lot of rumors about you here, the You Clan's martial arts competition, the lifeless character, the sect competition, I said I was right about you, and the term "lifeless character" is really inaccurate, it should be called the supreme fate."

"It's not that exaggerated. This fate has really brought me a lot of trouble." Mu Changsheng said with a wry smile. He has been worrying about the subsequent tribulation.

"This is what they call when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles and bones work hard. This is a good thing." Taoist Shi smiled with narrowed eyes.

"I hope so." Mu Changsheng said with a smile.

Mu Changsheng returned to Lingshan Sect this time, in fact, he had a question that he specifically wanted to ask Master Dao: "Elder Li and Elder Gao both said that once the spiritual energy revives, Emperor Changsheng will be more obedient, but what is the relationship between the two?"

"This." Taoist Master sighed and said, "Actually, there is a huge secret behind this that concerns the Nine Realms. This level of secret has always been spread only among a small group of people at the top of the Nine Realms and is rarely seen in classics. Therefore, few people know about it. It is normal that you don't know about it."
