No hope for eternal life

Chapter 240 Heavenly Fruit

The only thing that went wrong was that Mu Changsheng discovered after his Nascent Soul was formed that its size was only two inches and nine, just one step away from the three-inch Supreme Nascent Soul!

"I still failed." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart. He felt sad and regretful about it, but the result was like this. He could only cheer himself up and continue with the last step of breakthrough - injecting spiritual consciousness.

Mu Changsheng was still familiar with this step. While injecting spiritual consciousness into the Nascent Soul, he kept his mind focused to prevent attacks from inner demons.

However, unlike the two times in the illusion, Mu Changsheng waited for a long time this time, but the inner demon did not attack him.

As if sensing Mu Changsheng's doubts, Mu Changsheng suddenly sighed in his mind: "You and I are originally one, why do we have to fight with each other?"

"Interesting, is this my inner demon?" Mu Changsheng thought to himself. He knew that everyone's inner demons would be different.

The inner demon in the illusion is just a fiction after all. What Mu Changsheng is facing now is the real inner demon that belongs to him alone!

"Yes, I am your inner demon." The inner demon responded to what Mu Changsheng was thinking.

"What do you want to do?" Mu Changsheng asked, changing his previous strategy of keeping silent. He also wanted to know what his inner demon was.

"I want to talk to you. In fact, you and I don't have to be so opposed. We can take turns to control the body. If you and I work together, we can exert greater power." The inner demon replied.

"Ha, I thought you were going to say something new, but it turns out you still want to seize control of the body." Mu Changsheng couldn't help laughing. The control of the body is of vital importance. The reason why he was able to forcibly suppress the inner demon twice in the illusion was because he was the dominant one in the physical body. He had the natural advantage when facing the inner demon. Once he gave up this advantage, he might be suppressed by the inner demon forever. Therefore, the control of the body was out of the question.

"No, you don't understand what I mean." The inner demon explained: "I don't want to rob you of your body. I hope that you can give up control at some point in the future. It's for your own good, because I have some characteristics that you don't have. For example, I am more decisive and selfish than you. Just like when the demons attacked the God Guardian City in the past, if I had handled it, I would definitely not be in danger like you. You know, not every time you encounter danger, someone will come to your rescue in time. You and I are symbiotic. If you die, I will die too, so I want you to be alive more than anyone else."

At first glance, what the inner demon said seemed to make sense, but Mu Changsheng didn't fall for it at all and immediately responded: "First, even now, I don't regret any of the choices I made in the Divine Guard City, so I don't need you to help me make choices. Second, you said that you are more decisive and selfish than me, does that also mean that you are more cruel and bloodthirsty than me?"

Facing Mu Changsheng's question, the inner demon did not quibble and directly replied: "Yes, I am like the opposite of you. I like what you don't like, but this is not the point. The point is that I am the one who knows you best. With your personality, you are destined to live a short time in this cruel world. Only when you and I join forces and complement each other can we truly reach the peak."

"Well, reaching the peak, that is indeed what I desire, but even if I die on the way to the peak, I will not cooperate with you, so I advise you to save your effort. Since you know me so well, you must know that your tricks are useless to me!" Mu Changsheng replied.

The inner demon paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject and said sharply: "I know these are useless, but I just want to try and see if there is any way to coexist peacefully. Since you don't appreciate it, forget it. In fact, I hate you, a pathetic guy who wants to be a gentleman but is so timid."

"Do you think you can be fearless if you are not afraid of death? Imagine that one day your parents die one by one in front of you, and you are powerless to do anything. Isn't that the scene you fear the most? Hahaha, one day, your dream will come true. When that time comes, you will definitely beg me to come out and let me help you kill everyone, hahaha..."

Mu Changsheng kept his mind focused and no longer paid attention to his inner demon. As he said before, he and his inner demon were destined to be a relationship of me and him alone, and there would be no result even if he talked about it for a lifetime.

The Inner Demon talked a lot but did not take any substantial action, because he knew Mu Changsheng too well. A clash with Mu Changsheng now would only consume his own strength. He had to accumulate strength from the beginning and look for an opportunity to defeat Mu Changsheng with one blow in the future.

In this way, Mu Changsheng's last step of breaking through, infusing his spiritual consciousness, went extremely smoothly, and his inner demons were temporarily subdued.

The inner demon understands Mu Changsheng, and Mu Changsheng also understands the inner demon. Mu Changsheng knows that the inner demon will not come out to cause trouble in the short term, but when the inner demon takes action, it will be a major crisis for him.

After his cultivation level broke through, Mu Changsheng took the Zangqi Pill and began to break through his physical body.

This process was also smooth. By the time Mu Changsheng completed his breakthroughs, more than a year had passed and Mu Changsheng was now twenty-one years old.

At the age of twenty-one, he was already in the Nascent Soul stage. This achievement was already extremely amazing. One should know that when Mu Changsheng participated in the Shenfeng National Martial Arts Test, a large number of young masters from wealthy families who were in their twenties were only in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, Mu Changsheng himself was not very satisfied: "This two-inch nine Yuanying is at least two points worse than the Supreme Yuanying in terms of magic power."

Mu Changsheng had experienced the feeling of being a supreme Nascent Soul in the illusion, so it was easy for him to make a comparison. The difference of two points in magic power may not seem like much, but when two masters fight, a difference of one point is enough to be fatal, not to mention that this also concerns the foundation of his cultivation.

"We still need to find a way to improve the quality of our Nascent Soul." Mu Changsheng pondered for a moment. The reason why he dared to break through directly was because he had already understood that even if he failed to achieve the Supreme Nascent Soul, there were ways to improve the quality of his Nascent Soul afterwards.

For example, Mu Changsheng has in his hand an Infant Transformation Pill obtained in the Shenfeng County Examination. This pill can forcibly improve the quality of the Nascent Soul by one point.

However, this method is like forcing things to grow too fast, which will damage future potential and is a very bad idea. Mu Changsheng will never adopt it.

What Mu Changsheng wanted was the Tianren Fruit. Just like the name of Tianshuang Realm came from Tianshuang Dew, the name of Tianren Realm came from the Tianren Fruit.

It is said that the Tianren Fruit can not only improve the quality of the Nascent Soul, but also improve the physical fitness of the cultivator. The only bad thing is probably that this kind of thing is destined not to be cheap.

However, for the sake of the Supreme Nascent Soul, Mu Changsheng must find a Heavenly Man Fruit even if he has to spend all his remaining contribution points.

"Let's go to Lingzang Peak first and see if there are any ready-made Tianren Fruits there." Mu Changsheng made up his mind and walked out of the cave.

In more than a year, the originally bare Duzhao Peak has been well managed by Mu's father and mother, and is planted with spiritual grains, spiritual medicines, etc.

Mu Changsheng first reported the news of his successful breakthrough to his parents, and then rushed straight to Lingzang Peak.

As soon as Mu Changsheng entered the hall, Xia Rong saw the clue and asked with concern: "Still failed to form the Supreme Yuanying?"

Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Yes, Junior Brother, I came here to ask Senior Sister if there is any Heavenly Man Fruit here?"

"If there was, I would have told you before." Xia Rong sighed softly, and then explained: "The Heavenly Man Fruit has always been tightly controlled by the Heavenly Man Alliance, and very few are circulated outside."

Mu Changsheng looked calm. He was not too surprised by the result. He also knew that the Heavenly Realm Alliance was formed by the union of all the forces in the Heavenly Realm. Although it could not compare with the two major sects in terms of strength, it should not be underestimated. Naturally, they would have priority in enjoying good things, just like he was able to obtain the Tianshuanglu before, which was also due to the help of Lingshan Sect.
