No hope for eternal life

Chapter 168: 9th World History

Mu Changsheng didn't react for a moment, and thought Feng Ze was asking about Feng Li's performance in the trial, so he quickly praised her, saying, "Your Highness the Princess is extremely intelligent, knows the big picture, and understands the truth. She is truly a rare child of destiny."

Feng Ze saw that Mu Changsheng didn't understand what he meant, so he stopped beating around the bush and asked Mu Changsheng directly: "Since you praised Li'er so highly, are you willing to be my son-in-law?"

Mu Changsheng's face froze, and he finally realized Feng Ze's true intention, and then he said carefully: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am devoted to seeking the truth and don't want to think too much. It's also because I am not blessed enough to marry the princess."

Mu Changsheng understood that although he performed well in the trial, it was impossible for Feng Ze to marry his daughter to him. Most likely, it was for Mo Lianyue and Mu Qunxian who lived with him in Qingliu Town.

Feng Ze raised his eyebrows when he was rejected. He didn't expect Mu Changsheng to reject him so straightforwardly, without even the slightest hesitation.

However, Feng Ze's Qi cultivation skills were first-rate, and not only was he not angry, but he praised him and said, "Good boy, you are so devoted to seeking the truth. I have high hopes for you. If you regret it in the future, you can always come to me."

Mu Changsheng was relieved to see that Feng Ze was not angry, and then said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity. I will never forget your kindness in supporting me."

Feng Ze smiled and nodded, saying: "You can continue to live in this villa as long as you want. The best spiritual stones will be delivered to you soon. I have also informed the Sutra Library, you can go there anytime."

After saying that, Feng Ze didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.

Not long after Feng Ze left, Mu Changsheng met the golden-armored guard Chen Li again. He was the one who brought the spirit stone to Mu Changsheng.

"Brother Mu, this is what His Majesty asked me to bring to you. His Majesty also instructed that I will continue to be your guard until I send you back to Qingliu Town." Chen Li said as he handed over the storage bag.

And in the storage bag were the top-grade spirit stones that Mu Changsheng had been longing for for a long time, four hundred of them, not a single one less.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Chen." Mu Changsheng thanked Chen Li and accepted the top-grade spirit stones. He felt very satisfied: "With this amount of top-grade spirit stones, I don't have to worry about running out of spirit stones for a long time."

One top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to thirty to forty thousand medium-grade spirit stones, and four hundred top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to tens of millions of medium-grade spirit stones. This number is too huge for Mu Changsheng today.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng suppressed his inner joy and went into seclusion for a period of time. His cultivation suddenly broke through. Although Feng Ze said that he didn't need to worry about an unstable foundation, he was cautious by nature and decided to go into seclusion first to consolidate his cultivation.

Three days later, Mu Changsheng finally ended his retreat. Under the guidance of Chen Li, he came to the Sutra Library of the Imperial Palace.

Although there are secret techniques in the treasury, the royal family's truly top-level secret techniques are in the Sutra Library, so Mu Changsheng is full of anticipation for this trip to the Sutra Library.

As soon as Mu Changsheng entered the Sutra Library, he heard a voice coming from the attic: "Mu Changsheng, the king has granted you special permission to read all the classics, and you can choose any secret technique to practice."

Although Mu Changsheng could not see anyone, he still said respectfully: "Junior obeys your command."

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng began to browse the books on the first floor. The books on the first floor did not involve any matters of cultivation, but were history books of the Nine Realms. This was also one of the important purposes of Mu Changsheng's coming here.

Among them, the Tianshuang Realm has the most historical books, while the other eight realms have relatively fewer. However, this is not surprising. As people from the Tianshuang Realm, they naturally have more detailed historical records of their realm.

Mu Changsheng also started reading from the history of this world: "In the 57,261st year of the Tiansheng calendar, the Sub-Sage Emperor led the human cultivators into the Tianlong Realm. The dragon race retreated without a fight. Only a few stubborn dragon cultivators resisted, but they were all killed. In the 57,262nd year of the Tiansheng calendar, the Sub-Sage Emperor completely occupied the Tianlong Realm. The Sub-Sage Emperor changed the name of the Tianlong Realm to Tianshuang Realm, and the history of Tianshuang Realm began from then on..."

Mu Changsheng read the history of Tianshuang Realm day and night, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "Tianshuang Realm used to be the territory of the demon race, and the history of Tianshuang Realm is a history of chaos and fighting. It was not until the Tianling Sect founded the Lingshan Sect in the north six thousand years ago that the situation in Tianshuang Realm really stabilized."

After reading the history of Tianshuang Realm, Mu Changsheng developed a more favorable impression of Lingshan Sect.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng began to read the history of the Tiansheng Realm because he was very curious about the emergence of the Tiansheng calendar.

"In the 105,811th year of the Human Calendar, our human cultivators were the first to arrive at the Heavenly Saint Realm. The demon race launched a thousand-year bloody war to seize the territory of this realm, but they were eventually repelled by our human cultivators, who saved this realm and named it the Heavenly Saint Realm..."

"In the 179,739th year of the human calendar, Gu Chanxin, the first saint of our human race, achieved the ninth realm of enlightenment, opening up a new era for the human race. He not only proved to the nine realms the existence of the ninth realm above the eighth realm, but also took the lead in becoming an emperor of the demon race, completely suppressing the demon race. People in later generations designated this year as the first year of the Tiansheng calendar, and Gu Chanxin was honored as the Tiansheng Great Emperor..."

"In the second year of the Tiansheng calendar, the Tiansheng Emperor helped our human race seize the Tianling Realm, and the demon race's territory was reduced from five realms to four. In the same year, the Tiansheng Emperor first proposed the idea of ​​peaceful coexistence between the human race and the demon race. Since then, the Tiansheng Emperor has never tried to seize the demon race's territory again..."

"So this is how the Tiansheng Calendar came about." Mu Changsheng's doubts were explained, but he had some other doubts. How come there was a human calendar before the Tiansheng Calendar, and the Tiansheng Realm was actually discovered. What was going on?

So, Mu Changsheng continued to read the history of other realms with doubts.

The sub-saint realm, the heavenly water realm, the heavenly ghost realm, the heavenly spirit realm, the heavenly human realm, the heavenly fire realm, and the heavenly demon realm.

It was not until he finished reading the history of the Nine Realms that all the doubts in Mu Changsheng's heart were resolved.

The history of the entire Nine Realms can be divided into two parts: the human calendar and the heavenly sacred calendar.

The history of the human race is a history of the struggle between the human race and the demon race. The two sides have been fighting for more than 100,000 years, and the demon race has even always held a considerable advantage. Until the appearance of the first ninth-level cultivator in the Nine Realms, the Great Emperor Tiansheng, the balance was broken, and the human race rose from then on.

The Tiansheng Calendar is a history of human beings suppressing the demon race and the internal strife among humans. Although the Tiansheng Emperor advocated the peaceful coexistence of humans and demons, his successor, the Yasheng Emperor, did not follow the Tiansheng Emperor's ideas, which led to the history of the Tianshuang Realm.

In addition to the Tianshuang Realm, the Tianshui Realm and the Tianren Realm were also worlds that were taken back from the demon clan by the Sub-Saint Emperor. Almost all the demon cultivators of that era were driven to the Tianyao Realm. Among the nine realms, the human race occupied eight of them!

It was because of this achievement that the Sub-Sage Emperor was revered as the Sub-Sage Emperor by later generations, and the Sub-Sage Realm was also named after his title.

"However, after the human race became powerful, it was not as united as before. The subsequent history was all about infighting among the eight realms of the human race." Mu Changsheng sighed.

Another interesting point is that the Tianhuo Realm, which has the most scarce resources, is actually the source of everything in the Nine Realms. The eight realms including the Tiansheng Realm are worlds that were discovered later. The ancestors of all cultivators outside the Tianhuo Realm migrated from the Tianhuo Realm, including the demon cultivators.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng left the first floor and went to the second floor of the Sutra Library. However, there were no secret techniques here either. Instead, there were biographies of famous people from the Nine Realms. In addition to famous people from the human race, there were even famous people from the demon race.

"Interesting." Mu Changsheng had read the history of the Nine Realms before and felt that he had gained a lot from it, so he didn't want to miss the biographies of the celebrities here either, and started reading them immediately.

The Heavenly Saint Emperor, the Sub-Saint Emperor, the Heavenly Fire Emperor, You Wushuang, Yang Wuji, Xiao Busheng, the Black Demon Emperor, the Eternal Life Emperor, Feng Rui, Mo Xuansheng...
