No hope for eternal life

Chapter 383 The Final Test

When Yuan Ao saw Yuan Ming and the others dead, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled. The fear of death in his heart was instantly magnified to the maximum. He immediately begged for mercy: "I am willing to give up my position to you, please spare my life."

"You don't have to give up your position. I can take it myself." Mu Changsheng replied calmly and launched the second legion attack.

After the second attack, Yuan Ao could no longer resist and bled to death on the spot. Mu Changsheng deliberately held back some of his strength and left Yuan Ao with an intact body.

The moment Yuan Ao was killed, Mu Changsheng felt relieved and said, "It's all over."

Mu Changsheng planned every step carefully and did not dare to be careless even at the end, because if Yuan Ao gathered the remaining Beiyuan monks and the two sides fought, it would be hard to tell who would win.

And now, with Yuan Ao dead, even if all the remaining Beiyuan cultivators united, they would not be a match for Mu Changsheng. Mu Changsheng's mission to unify the world can be considered accomplished from this moment on.

Not long after Mu Changsheng killed Yuan Ao, the Beiyuan cultivators who had followed Yuan Ao to hunt down Mu Changsheng finally arrived, but they saw a scene they would never forget.

Mu Changsheng held Yuan Ao's body in one hand, looked down at everyone and said: "Yuan Ao is dead. From now on, I am the master of this world. Are you convinced?"

A monk who was undergoing the tribulation was the first to react, half-knelt and said: "We are willing to submit and be loyal to Your Majesty."

Seeing this, others followed suit and knelt down in submission.

There is no way out. Mu Changsheng has an army of 110,000 under his command. He is the most powerful person in the world today. There is no way to disobey him.

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly and was about to speak, but he saw the scene around him suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, he was back in the Dragon Palace Hall, and his consciousness finally returned to his original white-clothed clone.

At the same time, the spirit of the Dragon Palace appeared and congratulated with a happy face: "Congratulations, you have passed the eighth test."

Mu Changsheng was not surprised to see this. He had already subdued the remaining tribulation-receiving monks in Beiyuan, so it was normal for him to be directly judged as having completed the mission.

"I wonder what the last test is?" Mu Changsheng asked curiously.

The Dragon Palace Spirit calmed down and replied calmly: "The ninth test will have nothing to do with the previous illusions, and it is very special. Maybe for some people, the ninth test is extremely easy, but for some people, the ninth test will be more difficult than all the previous tests combined. If you give up now, you can still get a treasure worth 100,000 top-grade spirit stones, but if you insist, once the final test is judged to have failed, you can only get a treasure worth 30,000 top-grade spirit stones as a reward."

"Go on." Mu Changsheng answered without hesitation. He was not blindly confident. Even if he failed the final test, he could still get a treasure worth 30,000 top-grade spirit stones, which was already a big profit.

"Very good." The spirit of the Dragon Palace applauded, and then, a very handsome man in green suddenly appeared in the hall.

"This is Ao Yuan, the great elder of my dragon clan. He will preside over your final test." The Spirit of the Dragon Palace introduced.

Mu Changsheng was slightly surprised. To be able to become the great elder of the Dragon Clan, Ao Yuan's cultivation must have reached the eighth level of supernatural power. He quickly saluted and said, "I am Mu Changsheng, an outer disciple of Lingshan Sect. Nice to meet you, senior."

"I have heard of you a long time ago, and I have also seen your performance in the illusion. You are decisive in killing, very good, very good. You have a promising future." Ao Yuan said with a smile and gave Mu Changsheng a very high evaluation.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, senior. I was just lucky enough to know a little bit about the art of battle formations and took advantage of the loophole." Mu Changsheng said modestly. Without the art of battle formations passed down to him by Taoist Master Nan, he would not have been able to complete the task of unifying the world so quickly.

"It's not luck, it's your luck." Ao Yuan shook his head and said, "If it were someone else, even if they had learned the art of battle formations, they would have sworn a great oath not to pass it on to others, and they would not be able to replicate your success."

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly after listening to this. He had learned many secret techniques, but the only one that could really be passed on to others was the formation secret technique that Taoist Master Nan passed on to him.

After the greetings, Ao Yuan got down to business: "In fact, this last test is not complicated. You only need to answer three questions. After three questions, you can get at least a treasure worth 30,000 top-grade spirit stones. If your answer satisfies me, the reward will increase accordingly. The upper limit of the reward is 200,000 top-grade spirit stones."

"Three questions?" Mu Changsheng's face became serious. He didn't expect the final test to be like this. He couldn't help but wonder what questions Ao Yuan was going to ask.

Ao Yuan's first question came quickly: "My dear friend, why do you think our dragon clan built this Dragon Palace?"

The first question did not surprise Mu Changsheng, but it was only natural to talk about the Dragon Palace in the Dragon Palace.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Changsheng replied: "In order to make friends with our human race. Although the dragon race has ruled the North Sea for thousands of years, there is a difference between humans and demons after all. The two sides also have historical grievances in the Tianshuang Realm, which makes it difficult for each other to trust each other. Therefore, I think that the dragon race built this Dragon Palace and gave opportunities to human cultivators to show their sincerity in making friends with our human race."

After hearing Mu Changsheng's answer, Ao Yuan had a blank expression on his face, making it impossible to tell whether he was satisfied with the answer.

Then, Ao Yuan asked the second question: "My dear friend, why do you think our dragon clan rebelled against the demon clan?"

Mu Changsheng frowned. This problem was a bit tricky because there were too many possible reasons why the dragon clan rebelled against the demon clan. It could be that the high-level leaders of the dragon clan disagreed with those of the demon clan, or they were being excluded, or the dragon clan had other plans. The real reason was probably only known by a few high-level members of the dragon clan.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng pondered for a long time this time and did not answer. Ao Yuan waited patiently without urging him.

After a long while, Mu Changsheng replied, "I think the Dragon Clan did this to seek stability and peace. And I think it is a very wise decision for the Dragon Clan to leave the Heavenly Demon Realm and integrate into the Heavenly Water Realm. The demon clan was ambitious and launched a war, occupying half of the Heavenly Frost Realm, but this was only a momentary complacency. The two sects and three clans were restrained by the two big demons, the Changsheng Emperor and the Black Demon, so they could not spare their hands to deal with the demon clan. However, the time limit of the Changsheng Emperor is approaching. After the death of the Changsheng Emperor, the disaster of the demon clan will naturally not be a big deal. So I think it is a wise move for the Dragon Clan to leave the demon clan. The elders of the Dragon Clan have seen the general trend of the world early on and are unwilling to associate with the demon clan and be enemies with the human race."

Ao Yuan still had no expression on his face, and then asked the last question: "My friend, what do you think is the future of our dragon clan?"

A dragon cultivator approached a human cultivator to ask about the future of the dragon clan, which made Mu Changsheng feel a little strange. But when he put himself in the dragon clan's shoes, he realized the sadness of the dragon clan. Now the dragon clan lives in the North Sea, and is neither liked by the demon clan nor fully accepted by the human clan. They are sandwiched between the human and demon clans. Their status is really awkward, and their future is indeed worrying.

Mu Changsheng pondered for a long time before answering, "I think that time will tell. As long as the dragon race can completely cut off contact with the demon race and stop colluding with them, one day, the dragon race will be completely accepted by the human race. Apart from other things, one of the prohibitions of my Lingshan Sect and Tianling Sect is that we must not actively attack dragon cultivators. The teachers and elders of the sects are obviously willing to accept the dragon race."

After Mu Changsheng finished answering, Ao Yuan finally showed a smile on his face, which quickly expanded and finally turned into a big laugh: "Well, you are worthy of being a disciple of Lingshan Sect. You are indeed insightful and insightful."
