No hope for eternal life

Chapter 260 Begging for mercy

At the same time, the incarnation of Emperor Tianqing's divine power disappeared in the sky, looking down at the almost identical movements of Mu Changsheng and the other two, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a chuckle.

In the end, Mu Changsheng and the other person completed the fifth-grade intermediate teleportation array almost at the same time. There was no time to check, and Mu Changsheng and the other person seemed to have telepathic connection and chose to skip the check and activate the teleportation array as soon as possible.

At this moment, Mu Changsheng and the other two had forgotten about winning or losing. They prayed frantically in their hearts that there would be no problems with their teleportation array, because if there were any problems, winning or losing would become meaningless.

Fortunately, there were no problems with the teleportation array of Mu Changsheng and the other person, and they both stepped on the next floating stone smoothly. However, problems also arose. The movements of Mu Changsheng and the other person were almost synchronized, and it was unclear who went first and who went second, and how to judge the result.

Just as Mu Changsheng was looking at each other in bewilderment, the figure of Emperor Tianqing appeared in front of them and said lightly: "Mu Changsheng wins."

To Mu Changsheng, this voice sounded like the sound of nature, but to You Mifeng, it sounded like a death notice.

You Mi Feng was not even too surprised by the result. He did not even think about appealing. Instead, he closed his eyes silently, preparing to face the arrival of death.

However, just as You Mi Feng closed his eyes, he heard Mu Changsheng's pleading voice: "Senior, please spare You Mi Feng's life."

You Mi Feng opened his eyes upon hearing this and looked at Mu Changsheng in disbelief. For the past four months, he had spent most of his time thinking about how to kill the other party. He really didn't want Mu Changsheng to plead for him.

Emperor Tianqing had a playful look on his face when he heard this, and asked Xiang Mu Changsheng with an intriguing expression: "Why do you want to plead for this person? Because of his identity as a You Clan member?"

Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Perhaps it is because of his identity as a You Clan member, but more importantly, I do not want anyone to die because of this test. Senior is looking for a successor, so the test is necessary, but there is no need to kill those who fail the test."

You Mi Feng took a deep breath and looked at Mu Changsheng with some admiration. Mu Changsheng's words were simply questioning the test method of Emperor Tianqing. He was really bold. Wasn't he afraid that Emperor Tianqing would get angry and take action?

Mu Changsheng kept his fists clasped and his head bowed. It was not that he was not afraid at all, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. However, based on his judgment of Emperor Tianqing's character, he thought that Emperor Tianqing would not get angry because of this sentence.

The result was just as Mu Changsheng expected. Emperor Tianqing was not angry, but said calmly: "You know the truth that it is a crime to possess a treasure, right? Killing him will also be good for you. If he goes out and spreads the news that you have obtained the inheritance, then not only will you be coveted by others, but your relatives and friends will also be likely to be implicated by you."

Mu Changsheng was silent for a moment. He had to admit that what Emperor Tianqing said did make sense, but he had already thought of a solution: "We can ask You Mifeng to swear a great oath to forbid him from telling anyone about what happened here."

Upon hearing this, You Mi Feng quickly echoed, "Junior is willing to swear a great oath to the inner demon."

Emperor Tianqing shook his head slightly and said: "The Heart Demon Oath seems reliable, but there are still many people who can find loopholes in the Heart Demon Oath. I don't know how many people have been deceived by the Heart Demon Oath in history. In addition, some soul-searching techniques can also search out relevant information. In short, only the dead are the most reliable."

Emperor Tianqing seemed to be refusing, but then he said, "However, the inheritance is yours. These things have nothing to do with me. I have said everything I should say. If you insist on sparing the life of this You Clan kid, I have no objection."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng hurriedly clasped his fists again and said, "Thank you for your understanding, senior. I will persevere."

You Mi Feng on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had survived a disaster.

But at this time, Emperor Tianqing turned his gaze to You Mifeng and said calmly: "What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to take the Heart Demon Oath?"

"Yes, yes, yes." You Mi Feng said repeatedly, and began to make a great oath to his inner demon. The gist of the oath was that he would never tell anyone about the inheritance of Emperor Tianqing. If he violated the oath, his body and soul would be destroyed.

Emperor Tianqing personally checked the Heart Demon Oath that You Mifeng had made, and confirmed that there were no loopholes before nodding slightly and saying: "That's good enough. Don't forget Mu Changsheng's kindness in saving your life."

"I will never forget it." You Mi Feng said respectfully, and then looked at Mu Changsheng with eyes full of gratitude.

Emperor Tianqing no longer paid attention to You Mifeng. He waved his hand and three black beads flew in front of Mu Changsheng.

“Three black beads together constitute a set. When combined, they can instantly form a large teleportation array, which can randomly teleport you to a place thousands of miles away after being activated. With these three black beads, your life will be safe in the future as long as you don’t provoke cultivators in the Ninth Realm. However, the problem with the teleportation array is that it is difficult to teleport high-level cultivators, so these black beads can only be used up to the Tribulation Realm at most.” Emperor Tianqing explained that the nine black beads, a set of three three, were life-saving items he had specially refined for his three descendants.

"Thank you, senior." Mu Changsheng expressed his gratitude again, staring at the three black beads in front of him with fiery eyes. With this treasure, he would not have to worry about safety issues for at least a long time in the future. Before, he always lacked a sense of security, worrying that a high-level cultivator would suddenly appear and kill him in seconds.

You Mi Feng could only watch this scene with envy. He could naturally hear the preciousness of the three black beads.

Emperor Tianqing continued to remind him, "Of course, the methods of cultivators have always kept pace with the times. I don't know if anyone has found a way to restrain this teleportation array. You should be more careful in the future. In addition, every time you use this black bead, you need to consume a huge amount of spiritual power, which is probably equivalent to 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones. After you go out, first find 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones and inject spiritual power into them for charging, in case of emergency."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. When I go out, I will prepare 30,000 top-grade spirit stones first." Mu Changsheng replied. Although 30,000 top-grade spirit stones are a bit expensive to use once, compared to his life-saving ability, 30,000 top-grade spirit stones are insignificant.

Emperor Tianqing nodded slightly, and the next stage was the inheritance stage. He just pointed his finger, and a huge amount of information was transmitted into Mu Changsheng's mind, which included not only Emperor Tianqing's secret formation techniques, but also Emperor Tianqing's experience in practicing formations.

Mu Changsheng had long been aware of the benefits of experience in formations, because the fact that he was able to pass the test of Emperor Tianqing this time was largely due to Taoist Master Xi's experience in formations.

Then, Emperor Tianqing continued, "Regarding the secret technique, you don't need to swear the Heart Demon Oath to prohibit it from being passed on to others. If you are short of spirit stones or resources in the future, you can also use this secret technique to exchange for spirit stones. However, you still have to be careful when buying and selling, so as not to attract the covetousness of others without getting the spirit stones."

"Thank you, senior." Mu Changsheng was touched. Although some of Emperor Tianqing's methods were too ruthless, he wanted to find a successor after all. Now that he had inherited the legacy, Emperor Tianqing began to really consider him.

At the same time, the figure of Emperor Tianqing became more and more illusory, as if he would disappear at any time.

"Remember, you are now on Chennan Star, not far from Tianshui Realm." Emperor Tianqing gave his final instructions, and his figure completely disappeared, along with the surrounding test space.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scene changed drastically. Mu Changsheng and You Mifeng were in the void, standing on the earth-gray ground.
