No hope for eternal life

Chapter 380 Wan Dajun

Mu Changsheng didn't say any polite words and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I know why Nanliang suddenly attacked."

"Tell me about it now." Yuan Ao said quickly.

"Three days ago, I brought nine gods to destroy Nanliang's Tianfu Spirit Stone Mine. So Nanliang is now desperate and making its last struggle." Mu Changsheng said word by word, in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"This is impossible!" The several tribulation-receiving monks around him couldn't believe it. Not only did they not believe that Mu Changsheng had the ability to destroy the Tianfu Spirit Stone Mine, they also didn't believe that Mu Changsheng could escape back safely after destroying the spirit stone mine.

Mu Changsheng waved his hand, and hundreds of huge spiritual stones fell to the ground. "I have these spiritual stones as evidence. If you still don't believe me, I am willing to swear a great oath to prove it."

"This..." Everyone was shocked again. There were so many spirit stone mines in front of them, which was like ironclad evidence, because apart from the two major spirit stone mines, there was no other place with so many spirit stones.

"Good, good, good!" Yuan Ao cheered. He had completely believed in Mu Changsheng and praised him directly, saying, "My dear, you have laid the foundation for victory for our Northern Yuan. From now on, you will be the sixth marshal of our Northern Yuan, on an equal footing with the other five marshals."

"Thank you for your grace." Mu Changsheng bowed respectfully.

"However." Yuan Ao changed the subject: "Now that the war is imminent, we are in urgent need of spirit stones. You need to take 80% of the spirit stones you seized as military expenses. Are you willing?"

"I am willing to hand it all over without leaving a single cent, so as to contribute to the victory of Northern Yuan." Mu Changsheng said hurriedly. He knew that this was a test from Yuan Ao. If he dared to say no, he might not be able to leave the palace today.

Yuan Ao's smile deepened, and he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, when I pacify Southern Liang and unify the world, I will definitely not forget your contribution today."

Then, Yuan Ao ordered everyone: "Pass the order, the Nanliang Tianfu Lingshi Mine has been destroyed, our army will win this battle, the whole army will attack!"

Originally, Yuan Ao was a little worried about the attack from Southern Liang, but now he is full of confidence, and the desire to unify the world in his heart is completely burning.

Afterwards, Yuan Ao smiled and said to everyone: "My dear ministers, follow me to the front line."

"We swear to follow Your Majesty until death." Everyone said respectfully, only Mu Changsheng remained silent.

After everyone finished speaking, Mu Changsheng said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to offer."

"Oh, tell me about it." Yuan Ao said with great interest.

"Now that the entire country of Nanliang is invading, the rear must be extremely empty, so I want to go deep into Nanliang again, recruit the remaining Nanliang monks, form a surprise force, and then attack the Nanliang army from behind." Mu Changsheng said slowly.

"Well, this plan is feasible." Yuan Ao nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "For the sake of efficiency, I hope Your Majesty can allocate me another ten subordinates in the God Transformation Realm. Within ten days, I guarantee that I can raise at least 50,000 troops."

"Fifty thousand troops!" Yuan Ao was impressed by this number and immediately agreed, saying, "Okay, you take my order to Juxian Pavilion and dispatch ten Divine Transformation cultivators at will."

As he spoke, Yuan Ao had already drafted the imperial edict and handed it to Mu Changsheng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Changsheng bowed respectfully and took his leave. He held the imperial edict in his hand, feeling excited. At this point, most of his plan had been completed!

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng came to Juxian Pavilion and gathered ten cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm as he wished.

Taking ten Jindan monks with him, Mu Changsheng hurriedly left the capital and found an uninhabited place.

The God-Slaying Formation was activated instantly, trapping all ten Divine Transformation cultivators. Then, Mu Changsheng used the same trick again, forcing the ten people to swear an oath of loyalty to his inner demon.

After doing all this, Mu Changsheng told his real plan to his ten subordinates who had reached the God Transformation stage: "The five of you will stay in Beiyuan and spread out. When the king and his men go to the front and the rear is empty, the five of you will each form a 10,000-man legion of Foundation Establishment Realm soldiers in various places in Beiyuan. The other five of you will go to Nanliang with me, and the five of you will also form a 10,000-man legion of Foundation Establishment Realm soldiers each."

This is Mu Changsheng’s real plan. He wants to form an army of not 50,000, but a full 100,000, because only with the combined strength of a 100,000-strong army can Mu Changsheng obtain the power of the Divine Sea Realm.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng distributed a large number of spirit stones to each person. These spirit stones were also seized by him from the Tianfu Spirit Stone Mine. The spirit stones he gave to Yuan Ao actually only accounted for half of the total. This was a risky move, but Mu Changsheng made the right bet.

Finally, Mu Changsheng warned everyone: "Take these spirit stones. No matter whether you use coercion or bribery, each of you must form a 10,000-man army. If you succeed, you will naturally receive a lot of rewards in the future."

The ten people all looked solemn when they heard this. Most of them had already guessed what Mu Changsheng was going to do, but they were all completely controlled by Mu Changsheng and could not resist. They could only go all the way. Moreover, as Mu Changsheng said, if they succeeded, each of them would be a meritorious official and would have wealth and honor in the future.

After some consideration, the ten Divine Transformation cultivators said one after another: "We are willing to follow you, sir."

"Remember, you only have ten days. After ten days, even if you have not recruited enough soldiers, you must gather at Qianshi Cliff east of the Longhe battlefield." Mu Changsheng reminded finally.

Finally, Mu Changsheng led the five Jindan monks and rushed to Nanliang quickly. His speed was faster, which could save a lot of travel time.

One day later, Mu Changsheng had already entered the territory of Nanliang. His five subordinates who had reached the state of incarnation dispersed and went to recruit soldiers.

Mu Changsheng continued on his journey and headed straight for the capital of Southern Liang.

Another day later, Mu Changsheng arrived at the capital of Nanliang. Just as Mu Changsheng expected, the capital of Nanliang was extremely empty at this time. There was not even a soldier guarding the city. There was only a sixth-grade city defense formation.

However, this formation could not stop Mu Changsheng at all. It was easily broken by Mu Changsheng and he broke into the capital of Nanliang.

After entering the capital of Southern Liang, Mu Changsheng swept his spiritual sense across the city. Those left behind in the city were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Even if those were included, there were only about two thousand people who had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Hmm?" Mu Changsheng's eyes suddenly turned and he actually found a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. This could be considered an unexpected surprise.

Mu Changsheng quickly flew to the side of the Divine Transformation cultivator and asked, "Who are you and why didn't you go to the battlefield?"

"My Lord, my name is Fang Dou. I am the court alchemist of Southern Liang. I am not good at fighting, so I stayed in the capital." Fang Dou said in panic. He felt Mu Changsheng's power and guessed that Mu Changsheng should be a cultivator from Northern Yuan.

"Do you want to live or die?" Mu Changsheng asked directly: "If you want to live, then swear a great oath to be loyal to me."

"I want to live, I want to live." Fang Dou said hurriedly, and at the same time, to show his feelings, he immediately made a great oath to his inner demons.

Mu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I order you now to recruit all those who have reached the foundation building stage and whose magic power can still function normally, regardless of whether they are old, weak, sick or disabled. Within ten days, you must recruit as many foundation building cultivators as possible from the surrounding cities. After ten days, you must gather at Qianshi Cliff, a thousand miles east of the Longhe battlefield."

"I will follow your orders, sir." Fang Dou said, clasping his fists.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng asked Fang Dou to recruit the cultivators in the capital of Southern Liang, while he himself left the capital of Southern Liang and shuttled back and forth between Southern Liang and Northern Yuan, supervising the recruitment work of his eleven subordinates who had reached the state of God Transformation.
