No hope for eternal life

Chapter 179 Chapter 1

Then, one person's action attracted the attention of everyone present, because his name was Zhuang Beihai, and he was an outer disciple of Lingshan Sect!

Mu Changsheng also knew a lot about Lingshan Sect. When talking about Lingshan Sect, we have to mention the Tianling Sect behind it. The names of the two sects are well-known in the Nine Realms, but the number of disciples in the two sects is extremely small, which is related to the entry examinations of the two sects.

It is said that the entrance examinations of the two major sects not only have a very high elimination rate, but also are accompanied by a high mortality rate, which discourages countless monks who want to join the sect.

Therefore, as long as they are disciples of the two major sects, no matter if they are from the inner or outer sect, and no matter how high or low their cultivation level is, they are all recognized as the chosen ones of heaven. Wherever they go, people will look up to them. It can be said that they have their own halo.

Mu Changsheng also wanted to see how Zhuang Beihai performed.

At this time, Zhuang Beihai, dressed in black, was calm and composed, standing in the air in front of the green bell. According to intelligence, he was a pure swordsman like Mu Xun, but he did not draw his sword.

Zhuang Beihai used his fingers as a sword, and a stream of sword energy shot out from his fingers, hitting the center of the front of the green bell accurately.

"Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong..." A series of bell sounds echoed in the building, and everyone followed the bells and counted in their hearts: "One, two, three... fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen!"

Finally someone exceeded seventeen.

Mu Xun was also convinced by this. He could also use his fingers to exert force, but that would only lower his performance.

"Not bad, you are worthy of being a disciple of Lingshan Sect." Hutiandu also praised him generously.

Afterwards, the competition continued, and after several people took action, it was finally the turn of Mu Changsheng and Ji Leyao.

"Miss Ji, please come first." Mu Changsheng took the initiative to give way.

Ji Leyao did not refuse upon hearing this. She took two steps forward and took out three talismans.

In fact, Ji Leyao is not the only talisman master. Legend has it that the ancestor of the Ji clan, the highly respected Sub-Sage Emperor, was the one who revived the art of talismans. Therefore, most of the cultivators in the Ji clan are good at talismans, and the Ji clan is even known as the ancestral home of talismans.

Ji Leyao's attack was also very simple. Three talismans were activated at the same time, transforming into three streaks of wind, fire and thunder respectively. The thunder and fire intertwined, and the wind helped the momentum of the thunder and fire, and finally hit the green bell hard.

"Amazing, you are worthy of being a cultivator of the Ji clan." Mu Changsheng praised inwardly. He knew that Ji Leyao's result would not be bad even without counting the bells. First of all, the three talismans that Ji Leyao activated were all fourth-grade primary talismans. In addition, the three talismans had a complementary effect of superimposed power. The result was predictable.

What Ji Leyao is demonstrating here is actually a technique of a talisman master manipulating talismans, by controlling different types of talismans to carry out joint attacks in order to achieve stronger attack power.

However, this technique requires a lot of talisman practice to learn, just like burning spirit stones. Most people can't afford it. Mu Changsheng mainly practices the physical body, so he has never thought about practicing in this area.

In the end, the bell rang a total of eighteen times, and Ji Leyao achieved the same result as Zhuang Beihai.

After Ji Leyao, it was finally Mu Changsheng's turn to take action. Mu Changsheng had no intention of holding back. He used two talismans to bless himself and activated the secret art of blood and qi transformation.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng rubbed his palms together and once again used the forbidden technique among the Nine Transformations of the Physical Body - Blood Pill Transformation.

In the early stage of the Golden Elixir, Mu Changsheng had to rely on means such as the Dan Summons to barely perform this move, and the cost was extremely high. Now, he would no longer bleed from all seven orifices, and at most he would be weak and exhausted for a period of time. If it was a two-person duel, he still could not use this move easily.

After the blood pill took shape, it was pushed out by Mu Changsheng's palms and attacked the Qingzhong. However, this time the blood pill did not turn into a blood infant, because the blood infant was only suitable for dealing with flesh and blood, and its attack power on inanimate objects such as the Qingzhong was sharply reduced.

After the blood pill came into contact with the green bell, it exploded instantly with such power that it was like a golden elixir exploding. Fortunately, Hutiandu stepped in to block the aftermath of the explosion, preventing the blood pill's explosion from affecting others.

This is another attack form of the Blood Pill Transformation, imitating the self-destruction of the Golden Pill by a Golden Pill cultivator, and its power is extremely astonishing.

At the same time, the familiar bell sounded again: "Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong!"

There was almost no pause between the ringing of the bells, and many people didn't even count how many they had rung. They could only wait for Hutian to tell them the exact number.

"Nineteen, good boy, no wonder you performed so well in the Six Nations Trial before." Hutiandu looked at Mu Changsheng deeply and praised him slowly.

Mu Changsheng was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that an attack as powerful as the self-detonation of a peak Jindan cultivator couldn't break the record of nineteen. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "There is always someone better than you."

After Mu Changsheng returned to the crowd, Ji Leyao asked Mu Changsheng curiously: "You also participated in the Six Nations Trial, can you tell me about the process?"

Ji Leyao knew that there was a new large spirit stone mine in the Tianshuang Realm, but she didn't know the details, so she was very curious.

Mu Changsheng had nothing to hide, so he told the story immediately and also told Yang Wuque's evaluation of him.

Ji Leyao was a little frightened after hearing this. The process was really full of dangers.

Finally, Ji Leyao concluded: "You have done so well that it can hardly be better. If I were to switch places with you, I probably wouldn't be able to do that well."

"Miss Ji, you are too kind." Mu Changsheng said modestly.

On the other side, the competition was still going on. The local geniuses of the Shenhu Nation also took action one after another and achieved good results, but in the end no one could reach nineteen sounds again.

After everyone had made their move, Hutiandu promptly gave the rankings:

First place: Mu Changsheng.

Second place: Zhuang Beihai, Ji Leyao, and Hu Pingzhi.

Third place: Mu Xun, An Xiangnan, Sun Ziyuan, and Hu Quanxing.

……

100th place: Huan Zejin.

There were no situations where there were multiple people tied for the top and bottom two places, so there was still time left for the competition.

"Here is your prize." Hu Tiandu passed a storage bag to Mu Changsheng through the air, in which was stored the one thousand high-quality spirit stones mentioned earlier.

Mu Changsheng accepted the storage bag, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, senior."

Hu Tiandu looked at the remaining hundreds of eliminated monks and said bluntly: "Unfortunately, you are all eliminated."

The eliminated monks had no choice but to leave on their own, and the space on the first floor instantly became empty.

Hu Tiandu said to the remaining hundred Tianjiao: "Follow me to the second floor."

Going up to the second floor, there was no arena as imagined, but instead tables of sumptuous banquets. Each table was numbered, and the smaller the number, the closer to the main seat.

At the same time, Hu Tiandu spoke again: "Since this is a grand gathering of geniuses, a mere competition on the ring would be too boring. Please take your seats according to the rankings just now. The grand gathering has just begun."

After everyone took their seats, Hu Tiandu sat at the main seat as expected and continued speaking: "I will say my part, and you guys should take your seats. Don't delay either of you."

"Since everyone present here is a genius, let's talk about the general situation of the Tianshuang Realm today. Although there have been occasional demon cultivators causing chaos recently, under the control of Lingshan Sect and Emperor Tianku of this realm, the demons can never come to the fore. North of the Huanglong River, Lingshan Sect coordinates all parties and has always been stable. However, to the south of us, there has always been the cancer of Xuansha Sect, which has disturbed the peace of all countries. I think you have more or less heard of its notoriety."
