No hope for eternal life

Chapter 516 Seeking help

Mu Changsheng and Xiao Niansheng soon arrived at the Tianshui Realm. The demon clan did not build a sky-covering formation here. After all, building a sky-covering formation would consume a huge amount of resources. Whether the demon clan could occupy the Tianshui Realm for a long time was still a big question. Therefore, there was no need to rush to build a formation. Mu Changsheng and Xiao Niansheng were able to enter the Tianshui Realm easily.

After arriving at the Tianshui Realm, Mu Changsheng found a sparsely populated area and went deep into the seabed. Here, he could absorb the power of the oceans above and the fire from the earth's core below. It was the ideal place for cultivation, so he began to practice immediately.

Xiao Niansheng stayed in this sea area to cover up Mu Changsheng's cultivation traces to prevent him from being discovered and disturbed by the demon cultivators.

Just like that, Mu Changsheng practiced here for five years. Five years later, one day, Mu Changsheng's whole body suddenly burst into flames. If Xiao Niansheng hadn't helped him cover it up, such a movement would have alarmed the entire Tianshui world.

Xiao Niansheng's eyes narrowed. This was the third time that Mu Changsheng had undergone such a change in the past six months. She guessed that Mu Changsheng was probably doing this to break through the shackles of the ninth level of body refining. The reason why the same situation occurred three times in a row was because he had failed the previous two times.

After only two hours, the flames on Mu Changsheng's body gradually began to go out. Xiao Niansheng frowned slightly, because the previous two times lasted for more than three hours, and Mu Changsheng's breath did not change significantly, which meant that Mu Changsheng might fail to break through again.

Just as Xiao Niansheng expected, Mu Changsheng, who had been practicing in seclusion, finally opened his eyes, and his disappointment was evident in his words: "It still doesn't work."

Mu Changsheng had already anticipated the result of failure when he was halfway through the attempt. In order to reduce the backlash, he took the initiative to give up the attempt.

Mu Changsheng can now clearly feel the existence of the bottleneck. As long as he breaks through the bottleneck, he will be able to fly freely in the sky and fish in the sea. But the problem now is that Mu Changsheng has no idea how to break through the bottleneck.

The only two methods of refining the nine realms in the Nine Realms might be able to help him break through the bottleneck, but those two methods are either in the hands of the demons or in the hands of the devil, so Mu Changsheng has no hope at all.

This time, Xiao Niansheng took the initiative to come to Mu Changsheng and asked, "Have you encountered a bottleneck?"

"Yes." Mu Changsheng nodded slightly in response.

"This is a good thing, which means you are only half a step away from the ninth level of physical training." Xiao Niansheng first comforted him, and then said: "You are the only one who knows your body best. What are your thoughts and ideas about breaking the bottleneck?"

Mu Changsheng thought deeply for a long time before answering: "As my body refinement level deepens, the power of earth and fire is less and less helpful to me. Now, even the most core power of earth and fire cannot pose a threat to my body. If I can have a stronger power of fire, maybe it can help me break through the bottleneck."

Xiao Niansheng nodded in approval and said, "It's clear and logical. As for the stronger fire power, I have thought of a way."

"Master, you want to talk about Elder Mo Lianyuemo, right?" Mu Changsheng guessed.

"That's right." Xiao Niansheng smiled and said, "The demons are good at fire. Mo Lianyue is also lifeless like you. Her innate magical power may also be related to fire. She can help you."

"This method is worth a try." Mu Changsheng and Xiao Niansheng thought of the same thing.

Mu Changsheng immediately left Tianshui Realm with Xiao Niansheng and returned to Tianling Realm to find Mo Lianyue.

After returning to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Xiao Niansheng quickly found Mo Lianyue and explained the situation to her: "Mu Changsheng is studying the Nine Realms of Body Refining. This method uses fire to refine the body. Now he is just one step away from the final step. He needs to find a very strong fire power to help him break through the final bottleneck. I hope you can lend him a helping hand."

"I understand." Mo Lianyue nodded slightly to show that she understood, but did not say directly whether it was possible or not.

Then, Mo Lianyue looked at Mu Changsheng and said apologetically: "Although Qian Huan has already apologized to you, I still need to apologize to you in person on his behalf and assure you that something like that will never happen again."

Mu Changsheng waved his hands and said, "Auntie Mo, you are too kind. It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Besides, the matter has already passed. I have never thought of pursuing anything."

"I know you have a kind heart, but if you make a mistake, you should punish it. This is the way to long-term peace." Mo Lianyue shook her head gently and said, "I have asked his original body and clones to return to the demon clan and reflect on their mistakes. Unless something big happens in the future, you will hardly see him outside the demon clan again."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng didn't know what to say for a moment and could only remain silent.

Although Xiao Niansheng, who was standing aside, didn't know what Mu Changsheng and Mo Lianyue were talking about specifically, he could guess roughly.

Then, Mo Lianyue said, "Now that we have finished talking about personal matters, let's talk about business. I have no reason to refuse to help, but I still want to put forward a condition."

Mu Changsheng expressed his understanding of Mo Lianyue's request for conditions, and said generously: "Aunt Mo, just tell me what you want to say."

"If I can really help you succeed, I hope you can pass on a copy of that body-refining method to my demon clan." Mo Lianyue said slowly. For the future of her family, she had to ask for it. After all, the importance of the Nine Realms Body-refining method was self-evident.

"No problem." Mu Changsheng agreed without hesitation: "But I need to explain in advance that this body refining method is closely related to my innate magical power. If others want to practice successfully, they will either need to spend a lot of time or suffer backlash."

Mu Changsheng can use his innate magical power to heal his wounds by absorbing water and offset the backlash caused by refining his body with fire, but others cannot do that.

Mo Lianyue expressed her understanding of this: "I understand. It is rare that you are willing to reveal that the secret technique is related to your innate magical power."

The innate magical power is the most important secret of most cultivators and will not be revealed easily. In Mo Lianyue's opinion, it is a rare thing that Mu Changsheng is willing to speak it out.

Then, Mo Lianyue formally asked: "What do you need me to do?"

"Aunt Mo just needs to use the fire magic, and leave the rest to me. The stronger the power of the fire magic, the better." Mu Changsheng replied.

Upon hearing this, Mo Lianyue said nothing and flipped her hand. A black lotus appeared on her palm. The black lotus was condensed by fire magic and was mysterious and powerful.

Mu Changsheng also felt the deadly threatening aura from the black lotus, which made him happy instead of surprised. He kept thinking in his heart that he had found the right person.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Changsheng placed his hands on the black lotus, exerted force with his palms, and began to absorb the power of the black lotus.

As the controller of the Black Lotus, Mo Lianyue could clearly sense the disappearance of the Black Lotus' power. She was shocked and secretly guessed: "Could this be his innate magical power? No wonder he was able to kill the Nine Infants Demon King. This method can easily restrain all fire cultivators."
