No hope for eternal life

Chapter 239 The Mystery of Mo Xuansheng's Death

You Poling nodded slightly. It was unclear whether he still remembered Mu Changsheng, whom he had saved casually. He only heard him introduce: "The Sutra Library is divided into three floors. The first floor is full of historical books, miscellaneous notes, etc. The second floor records the secret arts below the eighth grade, and the third floor records the eighth and ninth grade secret arts. Although the secret arts below the eighth grade can be read at will, these secret arts still belong to the sect and must not be passed on to others. Once discovered, there will be severe punishment."

"Junior brother, please remember this." Mu Changsheng said respectfully. Among the 112 prohibitions of the sect, passing on secret techniques to outsiders is definitely one of the most serious crimes.

Seeing this, You Po Ling continued, "Also, you'd better read all the history books on the first floor, because the records in the sect are more detailed and accurate than those outside, and may be different from what you know."

"Thank you, senior brother, for the reminder." Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude. He had the same intention and wanted to use this opportunity to broaden his horizons.

"If you have any questions or are not sure which secret technique to practice, you can come to the third floor to find me." You Poling said the last sentence meaningfully and his figure disappeared.

Mu Changsheng stayed on the first floor and read the history of the Nine Realms again. Just as You Poling said, Lingshan Sect's records of history were indeed more detailed than those of the Shenfeng Kingdom.

Mu Changsheng could read ten lines at a glance, and he finished reading most of the history in just one day.

But when Mu Changsheng saw the history of the Tianhuo Realm, he actually discovered something completely different.

Moreover, that incident happened to be one of the major events in the history of the Nine Realms—the death of Mo Xuansheng!

According to the records from the Kamikaze Kingdom, Mo Xuansheng was assassinated by the evil leader Black Demon.

Although Lingshan Sect recorded that Mo Xuansheng died at the hands of the Black Demon, Lingshan Sect also added a very interesting piece of information: Mo Xuansheng's death was also related to You Wuye, the eleventh-generation patriarch of the You clan.

"Is it related?" Mu Changsheng frowned slightly. The word 'is related' was too vague, and he didn't explain in detail what the meaning of 'is related' was.

However, Mu Changsheng could also understand it. After all, this was related to the father of the current patriarch of the You clan, You Hengzu, the old patriarch of the You clan, You Wuye. It was already a great thing for him to mention it.

"It turns out that there is such a layer of hatred between the Demon Clan and the Ghost Clan." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart. He originally thought that the fight between the two major families was just for the struggle for power, but now the situation has changed. The Demon Clan is the victim, and the Ghost Clan is the perpetrator who is very likely in collusion with the Black Demon.

Mo Xuansheng is Mo Lianyue's biological father, and the master and father-in-law of Yi Qianhuan, the current patriarch of the demon clan. The hatred for killing his father and master is irreconcilable. Mu Changsheng just feels that the water is too complicated and it is definitely not something he can get involved in at the moment.

Mu Changsheng suddenly remembered that You Poling had specifically reminded him yesterday to look at the history of the Nine Realms. Was he trying to let him see this? He just didn't know whether the other party did so out of an open mind or as a secret warning.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng finished reading the history of the Nine Realms and did not find any major discrepancies, but he did not rush to go up to the second floor. Instead, he continued to read miscellaneous notes other than the history of the Nine Realms on the first floor.

Most of the miscellaneous notes contained strange stories, and it was difficult to tell whether they were true or false. However, Mu Changsheng relied on his good memory as a cultivator and wrote them all down first, hoping that they might be useful in the future.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng also learned from a certain notebook about some spiritual objects that could improve the quality of the Nascent Soul, including Tianshuanglu. In addition to Tianshuanglu, there are several other methods, but the items required are all very valuable and extremely rare.

Just like that, after another day, Mu Changsheng finally went up to the second floor of the Sutra Library.

Although the secret arts on the second floor are all below the eighth grade, they are large in quantity. Each secret art is the result of the hard work of a certain cultivator and represents different concepts of cultivation. Those concepts collide with each other, and Mu Changsheng feels that he has gained a lot even if he just takes a look.

In addition, there are also many practical secret techniques among these secret techniques, such as the art of sound transmission, the art of spiritual awareness and divine consciousness detection, etc. Although they cannot directly increase combat power, they are extremely practical, and Mu Changsheng naturally will not let them go.

Moreover, these secret techniques that can be included in Lingshan Sect are definitely the best among the same level of secret techniques.

It took Mu Changsheng about three days to select and memorize all the practical secret techniques.

Only after that did Mu Changsheng go up to the third floor.

"Nine Mysterious Secret Techniques!" "Nine Thousand Dragon Elephant Powers!" "Three Element Sword Techniques!"

……

Mu Changsheng was dazzled and fascinated by the powerful secret techniques, but he did not forget that his goal was to learn the secret technique of body refining.

Soon, Mu Changsheng found his target. There were three eighth-grade body-refining secret techniques collected by Lingshan Sect, namely, Eight Desolations Body Refining, Nine Turns of Infinity, and Five Thunders Body Refining.

In addition, Mu Changsheng also discovered an interesting thing. The price of each eighth-grade secret technique here is two thousand contribution points, while the ninth-grade secret technique is uniformly priced at five thousand contribution points.

"It's so cheap!" Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart. The price was much lower than he expected.

For a Jindan cultivator like Mu Changsheng, both two thousand and five thousand contribution values ​​are already large enough. However, if you think about it carefully, it is equivalent to buying a ninth-grade secret technique with five thousand top-grade spirit stones. This is absolutely unimaginable in the outside world, because five thousand top-grade spirit stones are not that difficult for cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Realm.

As a result, Mu Changsheng's confidence increased a lot. He now has 928 contribution points, which is not far from the goal of 2,000 contribution points.

"Well, let's take a look at the abridged versions of these three secret techniques first." Mu Changsheng opened the abridged versions of the three major body-refining secret techniques again. The abridged versions here were different from the ones outside.

From the concept of the secret technique to the future prospects, the introduction in the brief version is extremely detailed. It can be said that except for the secret technique itself, everything else that can be written is written in the brief version.

"The directions and styles of the three secret arts are very different. It is really difficult to tell which one is better." Mu Changsheng shook his head slightly. He couldn't be sure which secret art was more suitable for him for a moment.

"Never mind for now, let me talk about it after I accumulate 2,000 contribution points." Mu Changsheng said to himself, and left Cangjing Peak contentedly and returned to Duzhao Peak. He had to break through first. Only when his cultivation strength became stronger could he earn more contribution points.

After Mu Changsheng returned to Duzhao Peak, his father and mother came up to him immediately and handed him a pill.

That pill was exactly the Zangqi Pill mission issued by Mu Changsheng. The sect had sent it to him a long time ago, and his parents received it on his behalf.

Mu Changsheng accepted the Zangqi Pill and said to Mu Yanggu and the others, "Dad and Mom, I am going to retreat to break through the Nascent Soul stage this time, which may take more than a year."

"Okay, just focus on your retreat and break through." Chen Wanru said quickly. Their son was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and the couple were so happy that they couldn't contain themselves.

"I heard that when forming a Nascent Soul, there will be inner demons causing trouble, so you have to be extra careful." Mu Yanggu said.

Mu Changsheng smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, I have made full preparations for this breakthrough, it is a sure thing."

That’s right. Mu Changsheng has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage twice in the illusion, so he has too much experience.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng used the sect token to open the protective formation of Duzhao Peak and began his retreat to break through.

Mu Changsheng took the Extreme Infant Pill and the Heavenly Frost Dew together, shattered the golden elixir and formed the Nascent Soul. He completed everything in an orderly manner.
