No hope for eternal life

Chapter 427: The Reappearance of the Branch

Although Mu Changsheng saw medium-sized spirit stone mines everywhere at this time, he did not dare to let his guard down. He had already noticed the white-robed monk behind him as soon as he launched the attack.

Mu Changsheng keenly sensed that the opponent's attack was extremely powerful and definitely not ordinary. To be on the safe side, Mu Changsheng did not use the seventh-grade defensive formation to resist it, but turned around and activated the seventh-grade Kaitian formation to counter the attack and fight against it.

The Kaitian Formation is different from ordinary attack formations. It emphasizes absolute power. A seventh-grade Kaitian Formation disk is like a talisman, with the power of only one strike. Its attack power can be imagined.

The attack of the seventh-grade Kaitian Formation was a terrifying giant axe, with unparalleled power that seemed to be able to split the sky. It directly split the bloody attack of the white-robed monk and continued to attack the white-robed monk.

Upon seeing this, the white-robed monk gathered his divine power in his hands and shot out another ray of blood-red divine light, which was able to barely block Mu Changsheng's attack from the Kaitian Formation.

After this fight, the white-robed monk seemed to realize that Mu Changsheng was not someone to be trifled with, so he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng turned his attention back to the medium-sized spirit stone mine. The chaos in the Tianshui Realm and the cultivators attacking each other were all common things. He had long been accustomed to it, so he did not take what had just happened to heart.

However, what Mu Changsheng didn't know was that the white-robed monk who attacked him did not go far, but was secretly staring at Mu Changsheng in the dark.

"Finally I found you!" The white-robed cultivator gave a sinister smile. In order to find Mu Changsheng, he specifically targeted the cultivators who used formations in the Tianshui Realm, just to find the familiar aura of magic power.

No matter how a person's identity or appearance changes, his innate magical aura cannot change.

After confirming the target, the white-robed monk no longer cared about the medium-sized spirit stone mine and left immediately. Of course, he did not intend to let Mu Changsheng go this time, but to ask for some help to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

Mu Changsheng didn't know at this time that he had been targeted and was still fighting for the medium-sized spirit stone mine.

No matter how big the spirit stone mine was, it could not withstand the competition among so many people and was soon plundered. Mu Changsheng alone obtained a spirit stone mine worth tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones, and the other three, Ao Kun, Ao Qi and Ao Shen, also had a rich harvest.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and his party continued to look for opportunities and treasures.

The affairs of the Tianshui Realm have not yet been resolved, but a happy event has occurred in the Tianshuang Realm. That is, the first branch of the Tianshuang Realm's spiritual vein has appeared first. The reason why it is called a happy event is that half of the Tianshuang Realm has been occupied by the demon race, but the first branch has appeared in the human race. This is proof of the good fortune of the human race!

Moreover, this branch is located in the East District. Only cultivators above the Tribulation Realm are eligible to compete for the cleansing quota. Mu Changsheng and Yang Wuque are both Tribulation Realm cultivators who are in urgent need of cleansing in this branch, so naturally they are unwilling to miss it.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Mu Changsheng and Yang Wuque rushed to the place where the branch appeared as soon as possible.

The place where the branch appeared was located in Liufeng Region, which was the territory of Wang family. Therefore, Wang Chidu, the head of Wang family, had already led the monks of Wang family to surround the branch of spiritual vein for protection.

Hundreds of tribulation-receiving monks, including Mu Changsheng and Yang Wuque, were watching nearby. The ten places for branch cleansing could not be taken by the Wang family alone. There would definitely be a rule for how to distribute the places, and they just had to wait.

Not long after, Xiao Niansheng also arrived. As the leader of Lingshan Sect, her prestige in the Tianshuang Realm was naturally unmatched. Her personal appearance would make everyone more convinced no matter how the cleansing quotas were allocated.

Xiao Niansheng and Wang Chidu communicated through telepathy for a while and then agreed on the method of distribution.

The method proposed by Xiao Niansheng was very similar to the distribution method proposed by Xiao Jingshan in the Tianling Realm before. There were also three levels of cultivators in the early, middle, and late stages of tribulation, with three places in each level, which were decided by competition. The remaining last place was sold through auction, and the spirit stones sold were distributed to the cultivators who did not get the chance to refine.

The difference is that there is no longer a limit on the number of times you can cleanse. As long as you have the ability, you can get cleansing spots multiple times. For example, this branch has been cleansed, and after a breakthrough, another branch will appear. As long as you can stand out again in the competition, you can get cleansing spots again. For example, the original body and the clone can also participate in the competition for cleansing spots respectively. If you have the ability, it is not impossible to get two or even three cleansing spots at once.

This is undoubtedly great news for Mu Changsheng and Yang Wuque. Although Mu Changsheng himself is only one step away from the peak of tribulation, his black-clothed clone is still far away. With only the cultivation level of the initial stage of tribulation, with the help of the branch vein cleansing opportunities of the Tianshuang Realm, his black-clothed clone will be able to grow as fast as his original body. The same is true for the black-clothed clones of Yang Wuque and Mu Changsheng.

"In extraordinary times, we should use extraordinary methods." Yang Wuque praised, and highly approved of the method proposed by Xiao Niansheng.

Mu Changsheng also nodded in agreement. Although Xiao Niansheng's way of handling the situation was a bit more overbearing than Xiao Jingshan's, it also gave the geniuses an opportunity to grow quickly. Just as Yang Wuque said, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Naturally, no one dared to object to Xiao Niansheng's method of allocating quotas, so the selection began quickly.

The first was the selection for the early stage of tribulation. Mu Changsheng commanded his black-clothed clone and Yang Wuque to participate. A total of twenty-nine cultivators in the early stage of tribulation participated.

Many of these twenty-nine people have changed their appearances, but Xiao Niansheng could not hide this from her eyes. She did not care. What she really cared about was whether everyone's background was clean, so as to prevent any villains from sneaking in and taking up the places for cleansing.

After confirming it, Xiao Niansheng personally served as the referee of the competition. Like Xiao Jingshan, Xiao Niansheng also used his divine power to screen and eliminate the contestants.

The pressure from the ninth-level cultivator Xiao Niansheng was many times greater than the divine pressure from Xiao Jingshan. The moment the divine pressure from Xiao Niansheng descended, three cultivators were instantly crushed and fell to the ground. This was already a sign of Xiao Niansheng's extreme discretion, otherwise, if her ninth-level divine pressure was fully unleashed, all the cultivators who were undergoing the tribulation would be killed instantly.

Mu Changsheng's black-clothed clone had neither body training nor strength training. In terms of foundation, he was much weaker than the original body and the white-clothed clone. Therefore, Mu Changsheng's black-clothed clone also felt tremendous pressure from Xiao Niansheng's divine power. For this reason, Mu Changsheng had to use some means to resist.

The rules of the competition for selecting the places for cleansing are that one cannot use external means, only one's own means can be used. This includes that the clone cannot use the means given by the original body.

The aura of the methods used by the original body and the clone is slightly different. Even if the two are similar, it is impossible to hide from a cultivator of Xiao Niansheng's level.

Therefore, if Mu Changsheng's black-clothed clone wants to obtain a place in the refining process, he cannot use the seventh-grade talisman, seventh-grade formation plate, etc. refined by the original body.

Fortunately, the original body and the clone are in tune with each other. Mu Changsheng himself has learned the art of talismans, and the black-clothed clone will naturally learn it. Over the past few days, Mu Changsheng has asked the black-clothed clone to practice sixth-grade talismans. Now, countless sixth-grade talismans have been refined on the black-clothed clone's body, which can be used at will.

At this time, Mu Changsheng asked his black-clothed clone to use the sixth-grade high-level Lingxu Talisman. This talisman can bring enormous divine power to the cultivator who is undergoing the tribulation, improve the cultivator's foundation, and enhance his strength.
