No hope for eternal life

Chapter 401 Three Levels of Thunder Tribulation

Mu Changsheng had twenty chances, but failed thirteen times in a row. He never had the good luck to successfully refine the Shadow God Talisman. It was really frustrating.

But for Mu Changsheng, the frustration was only short-lived. He quickly adjusted his mindset and continued: "If twenty times doesn't work, then I'll do thirty or forty times. Anyway, I don't lack contribution points now."

The fourteenth time was still a failure.

For the fifteenth time, Mu Changsheng was almost at the last step to finish, but still failed.

"It's almost done, almost done." Mu Changsheng comforted himself in his heart, quickly recovered his divine power, and began to refine the seventh-grade defensive formation for the sixteenth time.

This time, Mu Changsheng felt as if he was helped by God, which made him overjoyed, because when he successfully refined the seventh-grade Shadow God Talisman that time, he felt exactly the same as now.

After being happy, Mu Changsheng quickly calmed his mind and continued to refine the formation with full concentration.

Just as Mu Changsheng expected, everything went smoothly this time without any sense of sluggishness. Mu Changsheng finally succeeded in refining a seventh-grade defensive formation.

Looking at the hard-earned seventh-grade defensive array plate in his hand, Mu Changsheng was relieved. With this array plate, he would no longer have to worry about his second level of thunder tribulation. He didn't even have to work hard to refine a second seventh-grade defensive array plate.

Although it was foolproof, Mu Changsheng decided to let his clone in white go through the tribulation first for the sake of safety. He immediately handed the seventh-grade defensive array plate and 50,000 top-grade spirit stones to his clone in white.

Generally, a cultivator would consume at most 20,000 to 30,000 top-grade spirit stones when going through the second level of thunder tribulation. Mu Changsheng wanted to gain more benefits from the thunder tribulation, so he would naturally have to consume more top-grade spirit stones. Therefore, he set a consumption target of 50,000 top-grade spirit stones.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng commanded his white-clothed clone to go to the Tribulation Peak, a sacred peak specially prepared by the sect for cultivators to transcend tribulations.

It is called a peak, but in fact it is a mountain range. The entire mountain range is protected by formations to ensure that the natural disaster will not destroy the mountain range.

Mo Lianyue had also undergone tribulation here before, but the power of her wind and thunder tribulation was too strong, and the mountain's protective formation could not completely protect it. Now the mountain is in ruins everywhere.

However, this has nothing to do with Mu Changsheng. No matter how strong Mu Changsheng's thunder tribulation is, it is impossible to cause any damage to the mountain range.

With the Tianling Sect's protective formation spirit there, Mu Changsheng didn't need to say hello to anyone and started to overcome the tribulation directly.

Thunderclouds gathered, and the thunder tribulation came again. The difference from the last thunder tribulation was that the power of the first thunder this time was no less than the ninth thunder from last time, and the number of thunders in the second thunder tribulation would double, with a total of eighteen thunders, which is twenty-nine.

But because Mu Changsheng is an inanimate being, the number of his heavenly thunders will be greater, a total of twenty, a total of twenty.

In addition, after the seventh heavenly thunder, its power has exceeded the normal range of the Tribulation Realm.

Fortunately, there is still a huge gap between the Tribulation Realm and the Divine Sea Realm. No matter how many thunders struck down, their power never reached the level of the Divine Sea Realm. Mu Changsheng relied on the seventh-grade defensive formation to easily block all the thunders, and he could release the power of the thunders in batches, slowly absorbing the power of the thunders to strengthen himself.

This tribulation lasted for seven days. Even the last 20th heavenly thunder failed to shake the seventh-grade protective formation. In fact, the power of the seventh-grade protective formation was less than half consumed. The remaining power was enough to ensure that Mu Changsheng himself could complete the tribulation.

This gave Mu Changsheng a new understanding of the seventh-grade pure defensive formation.

After using up 50,000 top-grade spirit stones, Mu Changsheng's white-clothed clone easily completed the tribulation and his cultivation broke through to the middle stage of the tribulation.

Although it was easy to survive this tribulation, Mu Changsheng was thinking about the third, fourth, and fifth thunder tribulations in the future. Now that the second thunder tribulation required a seventh-grade formation plate, how he was going to survive the next three thunder tribulations made him think deeply.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng himself took over from his white-clothed clone and began to overcome the tribulation.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng also asked the white-clothed clone to refine the seventh-grade defensive array disk. The white-clothed clone's cultivation broke through to the middle stage of tribulation, and his confidence in refining the seventh-grade defensive array disk was much greater than that of the original body.

There were still four of the previous twenty seventh-grade defensive array spiritual materials left. The white-clothed clone only used those four spiritual materials to successfully refine a new seventh-grade defensive array disk.

After the refining was successful, Mu Changsheng immediately sent his white-clothed clone to the Tianshui Realm on a ferry. His black-clothed clone had already broken through to the peak of the God Transformation Realm with the help of two divine fruits and was able to overcome the tribulation at any time. The white-clothed clone went to the Tianshui Realm to find the black-clothed clone, one to give him 20,000 top-grade spirit stones, and the other to give him a seventh-grade defensive array plate to help the black-clothed clone resist the thunder tribulation.

During the time when the white-clothed clone went to the Tianshui Realm, Mu Changsheng's original body completed the tribulation without any accidents.

Although Mu Changsheng's tribulation was far less commotion than Mo Lianyue's, it still attracted the attention of many fellow disciples, including Yang Wuque.

Yang Wuque witnessed Mu Changsheng's rapid growth along the way and was extremely pleased. Seeing that Mu Changsheng safely passed the thunder tribulation, he also felt relieved.

Yang Wuque suddenly became interested and invited him, "Changsheng, practice with me."

"I couldn't ask for more." Mu Changsheng said with a smile. He had been abused by Yang Wuque many times in the past, but now he doesn't have to worry about being abused anymore.

So, the two of them returned to Chongluan Peak together, got ready, and started fighting.

Just like before, the two of them fought with fists and feet without using any magical powers.

But even if Mu Changsheng didn't use his cultivation, his Tribulation Realm cultivation gave him a stronger reaction ability. Even with Yang Wuque's deeper experience, he was now somewhat unable to resist. However, Mu Changsheng was very measured in his actions and naturally would not take advantage of others' misfortunes.

After a hearty competition, Yang Wuque was out of breath and laughing happily. Mu Changsheng had now surpassed him in all aspects, and he was happy for Mu Changsheng.

"I'm going back to Tianyou Realm, but you need me to help you bring your parents over." Yang Wuque took the initiative to say.

"No need to trouble you, sir. I will go back to Tianyou Realm in a few days and bring my parents back in person. Please help me tell them that I am fine." Mu Changsheng said hurriedly.

"No problem." Yang Wuque agreed immediately and told Mu Changsheng: "Even if you are in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, you must remember to be careful and cautious. You should neither be too unfamiliar nor too close to the demons. It is better to remain neutral."

"Disciple will remember this." Mu Changsheng said with a fist. His idea coincided with Yang Wuque's.

Afterwards, Yang Wuque bid farewell to Mu Changsheng and boarded the ferry back to Tianyoujie.
