No hope for eternal life

Chapter 273 Preparations before the sect competition

For Mu Xun, not being able to join Lingshan Sect has always been a regret in his life, but now he has a chance to make up for it. In addition, this competition between humans and demons is for the sake of justice for the human race, so of course he doesn't want to miss it.

After hearing this, Mu Changsheng laughed and said, "Okay, you participate in the late Nascent Soul stage competition, and I will participate in the peak Nascent Soul stage competition. We both want to win, get two consecutive victories, and severely suppress the arrogance of the demon race."

"Yes, suppress the arrogance of the demon clan." Mu Xun also laughed.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng left Mu Xun on Duzhao Peak. Mu Changsheng went to see his parents again. He was going to participate in a life-and-death contest with the demon clan. Even if he had a good chance of winning, there was a possibility of dying, so he still had to tell his parents.

After hearing that Mu Changsheng was determined to fight for the qualification to compete at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Chen Wanru immediately said worriedly, "The world can do without you, why do you have to go?"

Mu Changsheng said solemnly: "The evil ambitions of the demon race are known to everyone. We, the human cultivators, must rise up to suppress them. If everyone only thinks about protecting themselves, it will be dangerous!"

Chen Wanru wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Mu Yanggu: "Okay, okay, isn't there still one more round of sect competition? It's still a question whether he can qualify in the end. It won't be too late to worry about it then."

Then, Mu Yanggu said to Mu Changsheng: "You have received favors from the sect, so it is your duty to serve the sect. Just do your best."

Chen Wanru gave Mu Changsheng another storage bag, which contained a full 30,000 high-quality spirit stones. This was obviously the harvest the two had obtained from planting 18 mountains in the past three years.

Even though these 30,000 high-grade spirit stones were nothing to Mu Changsheng today, he still did not refuse. He accepted them, not only to reassure his parents but also to motivate himself.

After bidding farewell to his parents, Mu Changsheng returned to his cave, and Mu Xun also stayed here temporarily to practice.

Mu Changsheng immediately took out the ten thousand year old lightning struck wood and began to refine his body.

The thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood could no longer help Mu Changsheng break through quickly, so this time Mu Changsheng specially bought the more powerful ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood. He wanted to break through as quickly as possible.

With the help of the ten thousand year old lightning-struck wood, the five thunder fruits in Mu Changsheng's five internal organs expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But this is not without cost. The faster body refining speed means that the pain will also attack Mu Changsheng in a more violent form.

At this moment, Mu Changsheng was bathed in terrifying thunder. If you didn't know, you would think he was going through a thunder tribulation.

Mu Xun, who was originally practicing quietly, was successfully awakened by the noise of Mu Changsheng's practice. After Mu Xun opened his eyes, he saw the scene of Mu Changsheng bathing in thunder, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Behind the power, there are often unimaginable efforts."

After taking a look, Mu Xun didn't look at it any more and continued to practice. In terms of cultivation and strength, he had been surpassed by Mu Changsheng, but he didn't want to fall too far behind Mu Changsheng.

After practicing for seven consecutive days, Mu Changsheng finally succeeded in breaking through to the great perfection level of Thunder Fruit Realm.

"There are still nineteen days left before the sect competition." Mu Changsheng thought about it in his mind and stopped his body training. Even if he could successfully break through to the perfection of the Thunder Fruit Realm within nineteen days, the improvement in his combat power would not be very obvious.

Mu Changsheng's advantages now lie in the art of formations and talismans. As long as he can refine a fifth-grade formation plate and talismans, his combat power can be instantly increased to the level of God Transformation. He will first win the sect competition and then use the remaining two months to improve his physical body. This is Mu Changsheng's plan.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng began to refine the fifth-grade formation plate. With the help of the formation experience of Master Taoist and Emperor Tianqing, Mu Changsheng's formation skills are now slightly better than those of talismans.

In addition, although Mu Changsheng was already able to set up the formation out of thin air without the help of spiritual materials, that was too time-consuming, so he still used all spiritual materials to refine the formation plate, which could save a lot of time.

One after another, fifth-grade formation plates took shape in Mu Changsheng's hands. When his magic power was insufficient, he used top-grade spirit stones to restore it. The speed and efficiency were extremely fast.

In just three days, the fifth-grade primary-level bewitching array, the fifth-grade primary-level teleportation array, the fifth-grade intermediate-level immortal-killing array, the fifth-grade intermediate-level immortal-killing array, the fifth-grade intermediate-level immortal-killing array, the fifth-grade intermediate-level immortal-trapping array...

Except for the fifth-grade high-level formation, Mu Changsheng was unable to refine it due to his limited cultivation level. As for the other fifth-grade primary and intermediate formations, he was able to refine at least five formation plates for almost every one, for a total of fifty-four formation plates.

After the formation plate was refined, Mu Changsheng began to refine the fifth-grade talisman. Out of the one hundred fifth-grade primary-level god-summoning talismans, Mu Changsheng obtained nineteen finished products.

This talisman for summoning gods is similar to the talisman for summoning spirits, the difference is that the talisman for summoning gods summons divine power, which can instantly give Mu Changsheng divine power at the initial stage of godhood, thereby enhancing Mu Changsheng's combat power. Moreover, the biggest advantage of this talisman is that it has no sequelae, weak period or anything like that, and can be used continuously, making it extremely practical.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng refined another 500 fifth-grade primary-order Dragon Void Talismans and obtained 98 finished products. This kind of talisman is similar to the ghost talisman, which can summon a giant dragon phantom for sustained combat.

Next came the fifth-grade primary attack talisman - the evil spirit talisman, and the fifth-grade intermediate attack talisman - the golden light talisman. Both were in 500 copies, but the former produced 114 pieces, while the latter only had 56 pieces.

At this point, Mu Changsheng had completed refining the regular talismans, but he still had to refine the virtual god talismans.

Although Mu Changsheng still has several virtual god talismans refined with the essence and blood of the peak of the incarnation, those were made with the help of Taoist Master Xi. According to the rules of the competition, such talismans were refined by external forces and cannot be used, so Mu Changsheng must refine the virtual god talismans by himself.

In fact, Mu Changsheng was able to refine the virtual god talisman of the peak level of the God Transformation when he was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Now that his cultivation has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul, it will naturally become easier.

The only problem is that the backlash of the Void God Talisman is too strong, and Mu Changsheng still needs Taoist Master to help him resist the backlash.

So, Mu Changsheng called softly: "Sister?"

"I'm coming." Taoist Shi'an responded to every request and appeared in the cave in an instant.

There was suddenly a woman in the cave, and Mu Xun noticed it at the first moment.

Mu Xun looked at the charmingly dressed Taoist priest, then looked at Mu Changsheng, touched his nose, and felt that he was a bit redundant again. He quickly made an excuse and said, "I heard that Lingshan Sect has opened the Eternal Monument. I'll go take a look."

"Don't go. I want to spar with you before the sect competition." Mu Changsheng tried to persuade him to stay.

"Then I will come back the day before the sect competition." Mu Xun said hurriedly, and without waiting for Mu Changsheng to answer, he slipped away.

"Your brother is a good person." Taoist Shi'an commented with a smile, and was very satisfied with Mu Xun's tactful decision to leave.

Mu Changsheng was speechless and could only smile bitterly.

"Tell me, why do you want to see me?" Taoist priest asked with her arms folded.

Mu Changsheng bowed his head and clasped his fists, and said without looking away: "I want to refine the Void God Talisman, and I would like to ask my sister to help me block the backlash of the talisman."

"No problem." Taoist Master agreed readily.

Thus, Mu Changsheng used twenty drops of blood essence from a demon cultivator at the peak of the Incarnation stage to refine fifteen Void God Talismans, with a very high success rate.

There were still four days left before the sect competition, but Mu Changsheng still did not intend to stop refining talismans, because he also wanted to refine a virtual god talisman of the initial tribulation level. If he had this talisman, he would definitely be able to dominate among the peak Nascent Soul cultivators, and there would be almost no surprises in passing the sect competition.

Mu Changsheng already had ten drops of Tribulation Crossing Blood Essence in his hand, and he had bought ten more drops from Xia Rong before, for a total of twenty drops. In Mu Changsheng's opinion, even if it only succeeded once and the rest were wasted, it would be worth it.
