No hope for eternal life

Chapter 461 Choice

"Yes, these may all be illusions." Mu Changsheng woke up instantly and reminded himself.

In order to verify the authenticity, Mu Changsheng controlled the incarnation of divine power and carefully touched those top-grade spirit stones.

"It's real!" After the incarnation of divine power came into contact with the top-grade spirit stone, he instantly confirmed its authenticity, because he could directly absorb spiritual power from the top-grade spirit stone, which was absolutely impossible to fake.

Just when Mu Changsheng wanted to control the incarnation of divine power to take away all those top-grade spirit stones and treasures from heaven and earth, a huge force instantly bounced Mu Changsheng's incarnation of divine power away.

"Formation." Mu Changsheng outside the underground palace frowned slightly. It was not surprising that the underground palace was protected by a formation, and the grade of this formation was not low. His divine incarnation could do nothing about it.

At the same time, a beautiful white figure suddenly appeared in the underground palace. The figure was a little illusory, and Mu Changsheng recognized it at a glance. The other party was most likely a formation spirit or an artifact spirit.

Mu Changsheng knew that no matter whether the other party was a formation spirit or a weapon spirit, it must be a trick left by the original owner of the underground palace, so Mu Changsheng said politely: "I am Mu Changsheng, a disciple of Lingshan Sect. I broke into your precious land for a reason. Please don't blame me."

"A disciple of Lingshan Sect?" The woman in white muttered, her eyes slightly shining, obviously having heard of the name of Lingshan Sect.

Then, the woman in white introduced herself: "I am the formation spirit of this place. You can call me Han Ying, which is also the name of my master when he was alive."

"Han Ying." Mu Changsheng was not unfamiliar with this name. He was a casual cultivator in the supernatural power realm in the sub-saint realm. He was an extremely low-key person, but there had been no news about him for three thousand years.

"From what this formation spirit said, Han Ying is already dead."

The spirit of the formation, Han Ying, pointed at the surrounding top-grade spiritual stones and natural treasures, and said with a smile: "Perhaps you have already guessed that my master is gifted and has created a method to predict and find spiritual stone mines, but I want to tell you that this method can not only predict spiritual stone mines, but also predict various natural treasures, and even include opportunities for cultivation. It is with this method that my master has accumulated such wealth. There are tens of millions of top-grade spiritual stones here, and if you add those rare treasures, the value can be close to 20 million."

Mu Changsheng was very excited after hearing this. The temptation of tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones was too great for him, because if he wanted to pass the tribulation and reach the eighth realm, he would need tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones.

As if the spirit of the formation, Han Ying, saw Mu Changsheng's excitement, smiled with satisfaction, and continued: "You can enter this underground palace, which meets the inheritance conditions set by my master. Everything in this underground palace, including me and the treasure-hunting method, can be given to you."

"What do you need me to do?" Mu Changsheng asked calmly. He didn't believe in pie falling from the sky. There must be conditions.

"Of course there are conditions." Zhen Ling Han Ying suddenly said bitterly: "My master was killed by those guys from Dongping Sword Sect back then, so if you want to inherit my master's legacy, you must inherit my master's great hatred. You need to swear a great oath to wipe out the entire Dongping Sword Sect within a thousand years!"

Mu Changsheng's face slightly changed. The Dongping Sword Sect had already fallen. If he really wanted to wipe out the entire Dongping Sword Sect, it would be a piece of cake. However, Mu Changsheng explained, "Miss, you don't know that a thousand years ago, the Dongping Sword Sect committed the great sin of refining pills with living people. All the high-ranking members were executed by the Ji Clan. Most of Senior Han Ying's enemies must have died. Most of the remaining cultivators in the Dongping Sword Sect are innocent."

"I don't care about innocence or not." Zhen Ling Han Ying said coldly: "They are guilty of bearing the name of Dongping Sword Sect, and they deserve to die."

Afterwards, the spirit of the formation, Han Ying, reminded Mu Changsheng: "Isn't it obvious which is more important, the treasures here or the lives of those people? You are still a disciple of the Lingshan Sect. If you learn the treasure-hunting technique of my master, you will surely rise to the top and soar to the sky. I believe you will make the right choice."

Mu Changsheng frowned slightly, and couldn't help being moved by what Zhen Ling Hanying said. Just as Zhen Ling Hanying said, this opportunity was so attractive that it would never come again in a lifetime.

Mu Changsheng pondered for a long time and replied: "How about this, you and I will each take a step back, I will help you keep an eye on the Dongping Sword Sect, if anyone in the Dongping Sword Sect does evil in the future, I will definitely deal with them severely on my behalf."

"Impossible, the conditions were set by my master during his lifetime, and there is no room for negotiation." Zhen Ling Hanying said firmly.

Mu Changsheng had a headache. Unless it was a ninth-grade compound large formation spirit like Taoist Master Xi, the will of a general formation spirit was often influenced by its master. That was why the formation spirit Han Ying appeared so stubborn and inflexible.

Seeing that Mu Changsheng was still hesitating, Zhen Ling Hanying said in a half-tempting, half-threatening tone: "This is a huge fortune that belongs to you, but you are hesitating here. I warn you, I am here, I can destroy these top-grade spiritual stones and natural treasures at any time. My master's treasure-hunting secret technique is only in my memory, and no one can take it away."

"Have you ever thought about this? If you die, you still won't be able to avenge your master. It's better for you to do as I say and both take a step back." Mu Changsheng advised earnestly.

"Stop talking nonsense here." Zhen Ling Han Ying said impatiently: "I will only give you the last ten breaths of time to consider. If you are still unwilling to swear the great oath of the inner demon, I will destroy the treasures here, and then commit suicide to put an end to all your thoughts."

The formation spirit Han Ying seemed to have already anticipated that Mu Changsheng would be reluctant to give up this great opportunity and directly threatened him with his life.

"ten."

"Nine."

"Eight."

The formation spirit Hanying was counting down continuously, and Mu Changsheng was caught in a dilemma. Thoughts flashed through his mind wildly, both good and evil.

"six."

"five."

Mu Changsheng lowered his eyebrows and clenched his fists. He certainly knew what was important, but there were thousands of cultivators registered in the Dongping Sword Sect, and most of them were innocent. This made it difficult for him to overcome the hurdle in his heart.

Mu Changsheng also thought of Qingliu Town. When Black Demon and Yi Qianhuan fought in Qingliu Town, they did not care about the lives of thousands of people in the town. If he agreed to Zhen Ling Hanying today, what would be the difference between him and Black Demon and Yi Qianhuan back then.

After a long time, Mu Changsheng suddenly looked up and found that the formation spirit Hanying had not counted to four.

Mu Changsheng looked up and saw Zhen Ling Hanying's smiling face.

Zhen Ling Han Ying said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have truly passed the test now."

Mu Changsheng was startled, then said in a daze: "You said that Han Ying died at the hands of the Dongping Sword Sect is a lie?"

"That's right." Zhen Ling Han Ying explained: "The real cause of my master's death was the wind and thunder catastrophe. She failed to survive the Nine Realms Catastrophe, and left behind all these top-grade spirit stones and treasures before she died. But my master has always upheld the righteous path, and she didn't want her inheritance to fall into the hands of villains, so she set up this trap. She would rather her inheritance be cut off than let villains get it. If you agree to my conditions, you will truly miss this opportunity."
