No hope for eternal life

Chapter 220 Heading to the Heavenly Netherworld

Mu Xun was silent for a moment after hearing this, as if he was thinking about Mu Changsheng's conjecture. Then, Mu Xun said, "I admit that what you said makes sense, but I think your method of exploring the sea is not reliable. If the illusion has set clues in the sea, it can be set in the Tiangong Sea. There is no need to set it in some remote place. As for what I said about defeating Emperor Tianshui, it was even more of a lie. So, in essence, if you want to break the illusion, the clues can only be found in you and me."

"It seems that neither of us can convince the other." Mu Changsheng shook his head gently, and then said: "But now the initiative is in my hands. You have to do as I say. After we have explored the Tianshui Realm and found nothing, we can discuss who is right and who is wrong."

"Now that you are powerful, you have the final say." Mu Xun looked helpless.

So, Mu Changsheng took Mu Xun and set off again. This time he was going to explore the Huangxuan Sea.

For this purpose, Hua Sheng once again arranged a sixth-level bodyguard for Mu Xun - Hua Hong.

When Hua Sheng introduced Hua Hong to Mu Changsheng, he also sent a message to Mu Changsheng: "You must be careful on this trip. Hua Hong may not be like Hua Yun, who will protect his master desperately."

Mu Changsheng knew that Hua Sheng was reminding him not to provoke people he shouldn't provoke, and he had to consider this point, because if Hua Yun hadn't been there last time, he would have been in danger.

Therefore, when Mu Changsheng was exploring the Huangxuan Sea and punishing evil and promoting good, he would deliberately investigate the other party's background. If the background was too powerful, he would spare the other party's life, but would still conduct a body search.

In this way, Mu Changsheng, who had already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, completed the exploration of the entire Huangxuan Sea in just four years, but still found nothing.

Mu Xun was not surprised by this result, and said with a look of desperation: "Let's not talk about anything else. Just thinking about you sparing the lives of those rich young men, it would be strange if you could find any clues. Aren't you obviously bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

Mu Changsheng's face was gloomy. As time went by, his mood had become a little irritable. Now facing Mu Xun's ridicule, there was even a hint of murderous intent in his mind.

However, Mu Changsheng soon realized something was wrong, suppressed his restlessness, and asked calmly: "What do you think? Don't tell me the same old talk about life and death."

Mu Xun's face returned to a serious state, and he said seriously: "You know what, I have been thinking about how to break the illusion for the past few years, and I have actually figured out something."

"Tell me about it." Mu Changsheng said casually, but he didn't care much, because he still couldn't fully confirm the authenticity of Mu Xun's identity.

"Think about it from a different perspective. Maybe we were wrong from the beginning. This illusion is inherently unsolvable." Mu Xun said with a mysterious look on his face.

Mu Changsheng frowned and asked: "If there is no solution to the illusion, then why did Lingshan Sect ask us to come here?"

"Did anyone say that you have to break the illusion to pass the test?" Mu Xun asked, and then explained: "Not breaking the illusion can also serve as a test. For example, like us now, we are trapped in the illusion and have no idea what to do. If we continue like this and can stay in the illusion for a thousand or ten thousand years without going crazy, can we be considered to have a firm mind and pass the test?"

Mu Changsheng's eyelids twitched and he was deeply shocked. He found that the "solution" proposed by Mu Xun this time was no longer as unreliable as before. Mu Xun's idea was not only a new approach, but also extremely feasible.

"Do I really have to stay in this illusion for a thousand or ten thousand years?" Mu Changsheng couldn't help but think in his heart, and then he shuddered all over. He had only been here for a few decades, but he felt very uncomfortable.

If he really has to stay there for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, Mu Changsheng is not sure if he can hold on. You know, he is only nineteen years old in real life!

However, Mu Changsheng glanced at Mu Xun again. He had not forgotten that Mu Xun might be a fake. If Mu Xun was a fake, he might be deliberately misleading him at this time.

Mu Xun could see Mu Changsheng's suspicion through his eyes, and he was immediately furious. He said angrily: "I finally came up with this solution, but you still doubt me. I think your suspicious habit will cause trouble sooner or later."

After Mu Changsheng pondered for a moment, he said: "Maybe you are right, but I have a way to have the best of both worlds."

"Oh, tell me about it." Mu Xun said with great interest.

"If it's really a survival test, this Tianshui Realm is not a good place." Mu Changsheng recalled: "About three hundred years later, the Tianshui Emperor will block the entire Tianshui Realm, prohibiting entry and exit, and begin to integrate all the forces of the Tianshui Realm, and eventually merge with the Tianshuang Realm to attack the Tianyou Realm. But in that battle, the Tianshui and Tianshuang Realms were completely defeated, and almost all the high-level cultivators in the two realms died. We can't stay in the Tianshui Realm any longer, lest we be captured by the Tianshui Emperor in the future."

"Then where to go? The Sub-Saint Realm? Among the Nine Realms during this period, it seems that only the Sub-Saint Realm is relatively stable." Mu Xun asked. He also knew a lot about the history of the Nine Realms.

Mu Changsheng shook his head slightly and said firmly: "No, let's go to Tianyou Realm. Once we get there, with my ability to predict spirit stone mines, I can also be treated as a guest of honor by the You Clan. With the help of the You Clan's power, we can explore the entire Tianyou Realm at will."

This is what Mu Changsheng calls the best of both worlds. One can live safely in the Tianyou Realm, and also explore the Tianyou Realm at will.

It is really difficult to explore the Tianshui Realm and it is difficult to find any truly effective clues.

Mu Changsheng also considered the great war in Tianyou Realm eight hundred years later. That would be an unprecedented battle. Mu Changsheng suspected that there might be clues to the illusion at that time, so he wanted to witness the battle with his own eyes in Tianyou Realm.

"Tianyou Realm is also okay." Mu Xun finally reached an agreement with Mu Changsheng.

However, Mu Xun still has some concerns: "We want to go to the Heavenly Nether Realm, but there is still an obstacle right now, and that is Hua Hong who has been following us."

It goes without saying that the Hua family will definitely not be willing to give up Mu Changsheng, their cash cow. So if Mu Changsheng wants to go to the Tianyou Realm, he must first get rid of Hua Hong's surveillance.

"I have a plan." Mu Changsheng already had a good plan in mind, but he did not tell Mu Xun. Instead, he went directly to Hua Hong and said, "Let's go to Hu Tian Island again!"

"What are we going to Hu Tian Island for?" Hua Hong asked with some caution, because Hu Tian Island is the largest island in Huangxuan Sea and the base of the Hu family. The Hu family is not weaker than the Hua family, and he does not want to put himself in danger.

"Don't worry, Elder. We don't need to enter Hu Tian Island. When I passed by there before, I suspected that there seemed to be signs of spirit stone mines in that sea area, and I wanted to confirm it again." Mu Changsheng explained.

When Hua Hong heard about the Lingshi mine, he immediately let down his guard and agreed: "It's agreed that we can't set foot on Hutian Island."

"Of course." Mu Changsheng agreed readily.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and his party quickly arrived at the sea area near Hu Tian Island, and Mu Changsheng also began a pretend search.

Suddenly, Mu Changsheng showed joy on his face, pointed his finger in a direction, and said excitedly: "Ten miles in that direction, there will be a large spiritual stone mine soon."

"A large spirit stone mine!" Hua Hong was shocked and quickly looked in the direction of Mu Changsheng's finger, because the significance of a large spirit stone mine was too great.
