No hope for eternal life

Chapter 462: The Demon Tribe Takes Action

"Then why did you only count down to five and stop?" Mu Changsheng asked again with some confusion.

"Let me ask you, if I count to the end, will you agree?" Zhen Ling Hanying asked back.

Mu Changsheng was silent, and somewhat understood. If it came to the end, most people would tend to agree, and he would be no exception, because the temptation of that unknown treasure hunting secret technique was too great.

Zhen Ling Han Ying smiled proudly and said, "People's hearts can be tested, but they should not be tested excessively. Count down from ten. Each additional count is equivalent to adding another layer of test. Counting to five is almost the limit. This is what my master told me."

"Thank you for your advice." Mu Changsheng said with a fist salute, convinced.

The spirit of the formation, Han Ying, did not hesitate and immediately took out a jade slip and handed it to Mu Changsheng, saying: "This is my master's secret treasure-hunting technique."

Mu Changsheng took it quickly. Compared to the tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones and countless treasures in front of him, this jade slip was the most precious.

After carefully reading the information in the jade slip, Mu Changsheng looked a little strange. This so-called treasure hunting technique did not actually involve any magic. It was more like the Feng Shui technique of ancient times. It judged based on the Feng Shui of the surrounding environment to determine whether the treasure existed and how long it would take for it to appear in the future. This included spirit stone mines, but this purely textual statement was really hard for Mu Changsheng to believe.

"Did Senior Han Ying really use this method to find the treasure in the past?" Mu Changsheng asked the formation spirit Han Ying.

"Of course, all the natural treasures here were found by the master using this method." Zhen Ling Han Ying insisted: "If you don't believe it, just go out and try it yourself."

"Okay." Mu Changsheng chose to believe it for the time being, and then asked: "You said that this method was created by Senior Han Ying, so there must be a process of self-creation, right?"

Zhen Ling Han Ying smiled slightly: "It's very simple, my master's innate magical power is treasure hunting, and she summed up this treasure hunting technique based on her innate magical power."

"So that's how it is." Mu Changsheng suddenly realized that most of the cultivators in the eighth and ninth realms would create their own secret techniques based on their innate magical powers. This was a common practice.

The innate magical power seems to be an instinct for the cultivator who possesses it, and the purpose of studying the innate magical power is to understand the rules of its operation and thus master certain rules of the great Dao of heaven and earth.

"I don't know what my innate magical power will be." Mu Changsheng said in his heart with longing. No matter whether it is a clone or the original body, the innate magical power is the same, so everyone has only one chance to awaken the innate magical power.

"I am going to accompany my master. These things are all yours." Zhen Ling Hanying suddenly said softly. Her figure shattered in an instant and disappeared.

Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and bowed solemnly. The array spirit followed its master to be buried with him, which was definitely a show of loyalty and righteousness.

After the formation spirit left, Mu Changsheng took all the top-grade spirit stones and natural treasures in the underground palace. This unexpected fortune came at the right time.

“I have enough top-grade spirit stones now, but if I want to pass the eighth realm spiritual tribulation, I still need to practice the secret technique of refining the power of nine thousand dragon elephants to at least the realm of two thousand dragon elephants.” Mu Changsheng said in his heart. He and Mo Lianyue were both inanimate beings, and he had long ago asked Mo Lianyue for advice on how to pass the tribulation. Refining power has now become the key to passing the tribulation.

Originally, Mu Changsheng had to accumulate top-grade spirit stones and consume a large amount of resources to cultivate the Nine Thousand Dragon Elephant Power, which was really stretched. But now all the problems have been solved.

Mu Changsheng decided that his white-clothed clone would no longer stay in the Sub-Saint Realm, but would return to Lingshan Sect and seize the time to practice in seclusion, striving to overcome the tribulation and break through as soon as possible, and awaken his innate magical powers.

Before that, Mu Changsheng wanted to try whether the treasure hunting secret technique could really find treasure.

So, after Mu Changsheng came out of the underground palace, he started the experiment.

Mu Changsheng found a blessed land after taking two steps: "Well, this place is round and wide, there should be treasures around, and spiritual energy is faintly gathered here. According to the treasure-hunting technique, within a short period of time, a treasure will be formed here."

The so-called short day is not a certain duration, but it will definitely not exceed ten days or half a month. Mu Changsheng is not in a hurry to search for opportunities and treasures, so he just stood there and waited to verify whether the treasure hunting technique is really that accurate.

One day, two days passed, and apart from the surrounding spiritual energy continuing to gather, there was nothing special.

After three or four days, even the gathering of spiritual energy stopped, and there was nothing special about it anymore. No one who came here would feel that any treasure would appear here.

It was not until the sixth day that Mu Changsheng, who was in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. The treasure he had been waiting for finally appeared. It was an ordinary stone, but it suddenly merged with a wisp of spiritual power from heaven and earth. The fusion of the two seemed to have produced a qualitative change and transformed into a Xunfeng Stone.

"The blessed land can be divided into nine grades, and this place is the third grade, so only one third-grade Xunfeng Stone was born." Mu Changsheng murmured. The value of a Xunfeng Stone was negligible to him, but the appearance of this Xunfeng Stone verified the reliability of the treasure hunting secret technique, which was the key!

Mu Changsheng's heart was pounding. The significance of this treasure-hunting secret technique was so great that it was almost equivalent to predicting the future. If the Black Demon, the Changsheng Emperor and other demons knew about it, they would definitely try every means to obtain it, and he and his relatives and friends would be in danger.

"Except for the master, I cannot tell anyone about this secret treasure-hunting technique." Mu Changsheng thought to himself. It's not that he doesn't trust Yang Wuque and the others, but there is a risk of being exposed. The less people who know, the less risk there is. Only Xiao Niansheng is a cultivator in the ninth realm. As long as Xiao Niansheng doesn't want to tell, no one can force him.

The reason why he wanted to tell Xiao Niansheng was because Xiao Niansheng had reached the ninth level of cultivation, and this treasure-hunting secret technique could play a greater role in Xiao Niansheng's hands.

As Mu Changsheng was thinking this, his real body had already gone to find Xiao Niansheng, intending to tell him directly about the secret treasure hunting technique.

But at this moment, something strange happened in the Sub-Saint Realm. The entire sky turned dark. It was obvious that someone had done something wrong.

"What a big deal!" Mu Changsheng was shocked. His clone in white was in the Sub-Saint Realm and he could clearly feel that the entire Sub-Saint Realm was isolated by a formation. The people inside could not get out and the people outside probably could not get in.

"What are you trying to do?" Mu Changsheng was extremely uneasy. His only two clones were in the Sub-Saint Realm and could not withstand any more trouble.

At the same time, in Lingshan Sect, Taoist Master found Mu Changsheng in person and quickly explained, "It was the demon clan. The demon clan set up a sky-covering formation in the sub-saint realm. Such a large formation must be aimed at clan leader Ji."

The ten great elders of the Ji clan had long been brutally murdered by the Great Emperor Changsheng. Now, in the entire Sub-Saint Realm, the only one who was worthy of such a large sum of money from the demon clan was Ji Tianyu, so the demon clan’s goal was not difficult to guess.

“In addition, there are several Divine Ability Realm cultivators who are presiding over the core of the Heaven Covering Array, madly slaughtering the Sub-Saint Realm cultivators.”
