No hope for eternal life

Chapter 490 Creating Chaos

"Yuan Tong, Yuan Tong." Shi Kuang rushed into Mu Changsheng's cave carelessly. In the past two years, Shi Kuang often came to Mu Changsheng to compete with each other. Mu Changsheng also learned a lot of news about the demon world from Shi Kuang.

Shi Kuang said excitedly: "The spiritual vein has finally appeared. Let's team up to grab the treasure."

"Forget it. What if we come across some priceless treasure, it will be difficult for us to divide it." Mu Changsheng declined politely. He certainly didn't want to team up with others, as that would only slow down his treasure hunt.

"You're dreaming of returning priceless treasures." Shi Kuang said with a roll of his eyes.

Mu Changsheng had already figured out Shi Kuang's character. Apart from being belligerent, he really didn't have any ulterior motives. So he suggested, "How about this? You and I go treasure hunting in the area east of the Ape Demon Territory. This way we'll be more likely to run into him. If we happen to see him in trouble, we can help him out."

"That's fine. I'll go first." Shi Kuang left in a hurry.

After Mu Changsheng sent Shi Kuang away, he also embarked on the road of treasure hunting. Regarding the appearance of the spiritual veins in the Heavenly Demon Realm, the Ape Demon King had already issued orders in advance: First, all cultivators in the Ape Demon Realm can only search for treasures in the Ape Demon Realm; second, they must not rob or destroy medium-sized or large spiritual stone mines, and must report them once they encounter them; third, each cultivator must be divided according to his realm, and must hand over a certain amount of spiritual stones or treasures of equivalent value to the Ape Demon King in the first month.

A "peak cultivator who has transcended tribulation" like Mu Changsheng needs to hand over a full 50,000 top-grade spirit stones. However, for Mu Changsheng, who possesses the secret technique of treasure hunting, this is not a difficult task at all.

After leaving the cave, Mu Changsheng headed towards the eastern area as promised, but as soon as he left the fiefdom, he realized that a cultivator from the Divine Sea Realm was secretly following him.

"Not good." Mu Changsheng didn't show it on his face, but he was shocked in his heart. He originally thought that after the spiritual vein of the Heavenly Demon Realm appeared, the Ape Demon King would temporarily give up his surveillance of him, but he didn't expect that the Ape Demon King not only did not give up, but also specially arranged a cultivator from the Divine Sea Realm to monitor him.

In this case, the fact that Mu Changsheng cannot easily search for treasure is secondary. The important thing is that if the Ape Demon King continues to suspect him, then no matter what he does, it will appear suspicious. One day, the Ape Demon King will not be able to help but attack him, and at that time, his clone will not be able to be saved.

"What made him more suspicious of me?" Mu Changsheng reflected.

"After thinking it over, it can only be the competition with Shi Kuang. Apart from that competition, I didn't do anything else unnecessary." Mu Changsheng thought to himself. He realized it belatedly and felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have ended up in a fierce battle and a narrow defeat.

"The Ape Demon King has already developed considerable suspicion towards me, but he has never shown it. Now he has sent a cultivator from the Divine Sea Realm to monitor me. He is simply trying to play the long game and catch the big fish." Mu Changsheng analyzed in his mind while searching for treasure.

"But he didn't expect that I was the biggest fish, and there was no need to fish for it." Mu Changsheng laughed at himself first, and then continued to analyze: "The current situation seems to be that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, but in fact, the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark. My advantage is that they would never think that I would be a cultivator in the supernatural power realm. After all, under normal thinking, they would not send a cultivator in the supernatural power realm to go undercover in the Heavenly Demon Realm, otherwise the loss would be too great if he was exposed."

After sorting out his thoughts, Mu Changsheng began to think of a solution: "Since I have already lost trust, it is impossible to directly regain it, because no matter what I do to increase trust, it will appear suspicious, so on the surface I must act like nothing has happened and do what I have to do. However, I still have to do something secretly to divert the Ape Demon King's attention so that he will no longer be able to monitor me, a small peak of the Crossing Tribulation."

With a plan in mind, Mu Changsheng began to execute it.

Three days later, Mu Changsheng came to a big lake to look for treasure. In fact, he had been here two days ago. The reason he revisited the place was because the last time he passed by here, he knew that a treasure would be unearthed here today, and it was a treasure that was valuable enough to make the guy who was secretly monitoring him couldn't help but snatch it.

After a while, the treasure really appeared. It was a very moist lake spirit stone, gleaming and bright. It was obvious at a glance that it was an extremely extraordinary water spirit object. Mu Changsheng pretended to be surprised and reached out to pick up the lake spirit stone.

At this moment, the Divine Sea Realm cultivator who had been secretly monitoring Mu Changsheng could not help but show up and snatched the Lake Heart Spirit Stone before Mu Changsheng.

"Greetings, Demon General Yuan Lie." Mu Changsheng hurriedly half-knelt respectfully when he saw the man. In the demon clan, the seventh realm is collectively called demon generals, the eighth realm is collectively called demon kings, and the ninth realm is collectively called demon emperors.

Yuan Lie glanced at Mu Changsheng and said calmly: "I stole your spirit stone, you don't mind, do you?"

"I dare not. Treasures have always been owned by those who are capable. It is my blessing to meet the demon general here." Mu Changsheng said respectfully.

"That's more like it." Yuan Lie snorted coldly and turned away with a swagger.

Seeing Yuan Lie leaving, Mu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He had been waiting for this moment. Yuan Lie had been secretly monitoring him, and many of his methods could not be used. The only way was to lure Yuan Lie to show up first, and then Yuan Lie would pretend to temporarily give up the monitoring and stay away from him. This would give him time to use his methods.

In an instant, Mu Changsheng created six incarnations of divine power. This was the limit of the number of incarnations of divine power he could control at the same time. He still had to be monitored by Yuan Lie, so he could only rely on these incarnations of divine power to do things.

During these three days, Mu Changsheng memorized many places where treasures were born, so four of the six incarnations of divine power went treasure hunting, and the remaining two were even more important. Mu Changsheng's task of diverting the attention of the Ape Demon King depended on those two incarnations of divine power to accomplish.

One of the two incarnations of divine power sneaked into the border between the Ape Demon Realm and the Nine Demon Realm, and the other went to the border between the Ape Demon Realm and the Phoenix Demon Realm. Both incarnations of divine power were just trying to cause trouble!

The Heavenly Demon Realm is actually not peaceful at all, because the demon race believes that fighting can forge the strong, and there will often be attacks between large domains. Just like demon cultivators will fight for territory, large domains will also fight for territory. For the demon king of each large domain, the amount of territory is not only a matter of face, but also a matter of their own resources and foundation.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng's plan is to provoke a war between the Ape Demon Realm and the neighboring Nine Demon Realm or Phoenix Demon Realm. By then, the Ape Demon King will definitely not bother to suspect and monitor him anymore.
