No hope for eternal life

Chapter 483 Mu Changsheng's Innate Magical Power

So, the white-clothed clone set out again for the Tianling Realm, preparing to overcome the tribulation and break through in the Tianling Sect again.

Before leaving, Mu Changsheng left the heavenly tribulation formation constructed by the Thunder God Banner to his black-clothed clone. The black-clothed clone also needed to practice physical training to break through, so the black-clothed clone would continue to stay in the Tianyou Realm to practice physical training in seclusion.

After returning to Tianling Sect, Mu Changsheng reported to Xiao Niansheng that he was preparing to overcome the tribulation and break through.

Xiao Niansheng seemed very happy about this, and pulled Mu Changsheng away: "Follow me."

Xiao Niansheng brought Mu Changsheng to the underground of Tianling Sect. This was the location of the giant spirit stone mine before. Now that the giant spirit stone mine is gone, it has become extremely empty.

"After the earth veins here were destroyed, we have always wanted to repair them, so there are still many formations here to isolate and protect you. You can quietly undergo the tribulation, no outsiders will know that you are undergoing the tribulation, and no one will disturb you anymore." Xiao Niansheng instructed.

Mu Changsheng could sense that the spiritual energy here was more concentrated than outside, and would be of greater help to him in overcoming the tribulation. He could not help but say with gratitude: "I will definitely live up to Master's high expectations and succeed in overcoming the tribulation."

Xiao Niansheng nodded slightly and said: "When you succeed in overcoming the tribulation, I will have an important task for you. However, it will depend on whether your innate magical power is compatible with this task. So, let's wait until you have overcome the tribulation before we discuss everything."

"Yes." Mu Changsheng was full of anticipation for this. The task that could only be assigned after he broke through to the realm of supernatural powers must be a top-of-the-line and important task. Over the years, Mu Changsheng had only completed some insignificant small tasks in the sect. It was time to repay the sect and contribute his efforts.

Just like that, Mu Changsheng began to overcome the tribulation. Because he had previous experience and his body refining realm had broken through, it was extremely easy for him to overcome the tribulation now. So everything went smoothly and it was just a matter of time.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and Mu Changsheng's spiritual tribulation is nearing its end, and his Dharma image is about to be completed.

At the moment when the Dharma image was refined, Mu Changsheng was filled with blessings. A mysterious and wonderful feeling surged into his mind, and he learned a magical power without any instruction.

The magical power has no name. Mu Changsheng does not need to exert any effort. He can use it by just stretching out his hand. A ball of blood-red flame instantly appears in Mu Changsheng's palm.

Looking at the flame in his palm, Mu Changsheng was quite surprised: "I didn't expect that my innate magical power is actually related to fire."

Mu Changsheng had never come into contact with any fire magic, so he was really surprised.

However, having the innate magical power is not the end. The most important thing is to first figure out what the innate magical power is used for. This is the experience summed up by countless ancestors.

There used to be cultivators who thought that their innate magical powers were useless, but in fact they were extremely powerful. It was only because they had not discovered how to use their innate magical powers perfectly that they had been obscured.

Mu Changsheng now feels like he is in that situation, because the fire he created using his innate magical power is extremely weak. It is likely that it cannot even hurt a Qi Refining Realm cultivator. Its power is obviously abnormally weak.

Mu Changsheng tried to use his innate magical power again and summoned eight balls of flame in succession, but found that he could not summon any more flames.

"Can I only summon nine balls of flame at most?" Mu Changsheng muttered to himself, staring at the flames in front of him. He didn't understand why there would be a limit on the number of flames with such weak power.

"Gather!" Mu Changsheng moved his fingers slightly, trying to merge the nine flames together, but found that he couldn't do it at all. Even if he forced them together, the different flames would cancel each other out, as if water and fire cannot mix.

Mu Changsheng thought it was strange but was at a loss as to what to do. At this moment, Xiao Niansheng appeared. She sensed that Mu Changsheng had survived the spiritual tribulation and came to check on him.

Looking at the nine flames in front of Mu Changsheng, Xiao Niansheng asked curiously: "What is this?"

"This is my disciple's innate magical power." Mu Changsheng replied with a wry smile: "But it seems to be of no use."

"Oh!" Xiao Niansheng became interested instantly after hearing this and started helping Mu Changsheng with his research.

Xiao Niansheng casually pinched a ball of fire and asked Xiang Muchangsheng: "How do you feel?"

"No." Mu Changsheng shook his head and said, "But once one flame is extinguished, I can summon a new flame. Only nine flames can coexist."

As he spoke, Mu Changsheng summoned a new ball of fire to replace the ball of fire that was crushed by Xiao Niansheng.

Xiao Niansheng pondered for a moment and took out a leaf surrounded by flames. This was a seventh-grade fire maple leaf, naturally containing fire, and was a treasure in the way of fire.

From the moment Xiao Niansheng took out the fire maple leaf, the nine originally lifeless flames seemed to come to life all of a sudden. They spontaneously moved towards the fire maple leaf and began to frantically devour the flame power in the fire maple leaf.

The Fire Maple Leaf is a seventh-grade fire spiritual object, containing extremely rich fire power. However, after being devoured by nine balls of flame, its power quickly declined and withered.

After absorbing the power of the fire maple leaves, the nine flames became obviously countless times stronger.

Seeing this scene, Mu Changsheng was extremely surprised. His innate magical power was indeed not useless.

Xiao Niansheng had a higher level of knowledge and could see further: "You have an extraordinary destiny, so your innate magical power is naturally not ordinary. If I guess correctly, the reason why your flame can only exist in nine balls is a restriction of heaven, so as not to be too evil. Nine is the extreme. It is great to have one ball of this kind of strange fire that can devour flames for its own use, let alone nine balls."

Afterwards, Xiao Niansheng took Mu Changsheng deep underground. Mu Changsheng was puzzled at first, but he soon figured it out, because deep underground in each of the Nine Realms, there were huge amounts of magma and flames that could be devoured and grown by the Nine Fires.

When they reached deep underground and saw the magma, Mu Changsheng took the initiative to summon nine balls of fire to devour the magma without Xiao Niansheng's reminder.

The nine fires were like fish in water in the magma, devouring it with great pleasure. It was half an hour before they stopped. At this time, the nine flames turned into nine round fireballs, as if they were full.

"Use one of the fire balls to attack me." Xiao Niansheng reminded Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly. He knew that Xiao Niansheng wanted to test the power of the fireballs, so he cooperated very well and controlled one of the fireballs to attack Xiao Niansheng.

The fireball attacked at a very fast speed. Following Mu Changsheng's spiritual consciousness, it flew towards Xiao Niansheng like a meteor.

A strong icy sword energy burst out from Xiao Niansheng's body, and then he used his ice fingers as swords and made close contact with the fireball with his fingertips. The fireball exploded the moment of contact, and violent power burst out in all directions.

However, Xiao Niansheng was a genuine ninth-realm cultivator after all. No matter how powerful the fireball was, it could not easily shake a ninth-realm cultivator, so the power of the fireball was easily blocked by Xiao Niansheng's ice sword energy.

"It's quite powerful, and almost invincible below the Ninth Realm. Especially since you have nine of these fireballs. If all nine attack together, their power will definitely stack up." Xiao Niansheng commented, "But the disadvantage is still obvious. It will take at least half an hour to fully charge your fireballs, and you won't have that much time to charge them during a battle."
