No hope for eternal life

Chapter 447 Tracking Ruan Xiong

Five months later, in Tianshui Realm, during the time when Mu Changsheng's original body was cultivating his clone, no new spiritual veins appeared, so Tianshui Realm became more and more popular. In addition to the treasure opportunities brought by the appearance of the spiritual veins in Tianshui Realm, it was also because Tianshui Realm had more opportunities to kill monsters.

Mu Changsheng's white-clothed clone has been hanging around in the Tianshui Realm, spending most of his time killing monsters.

In order to be cautious, Mu Changsheng specifically targeted the demons whose cultivation level was below the Divine Sea Realm for assassination. Although this was far less "profitable" than directly killing a cultivator in the Divine Sea Realm, it was still a small amount that added up to a large amount. In these five months, he earned more than 300,000 top-grade spirit stones.

“Three hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones is not a small amount, but it is far from enough.” Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart. Now that he has reached the Divine Sea Realm, he has to consider breaking through to the Divine Ability Realm.

A cultivator at the Divine Sea Realm who breaks through to the Divine Power Realm also needs to go through a tribulation, but the difference is that the tribulation at the Divine Power Realm is called a spiritual tribulation. This tribulation uses a vast amount of spiritual power to cleanse the body and soul, triggering a resonance between heaven and earth, thereby deriving innate magical powers and the cultivator's Dharma image. The amount of top-grade spirit stones needed to go through the tribulation far exceeds the total of the five levels of thunder tribulation combined.

It is said that a normal Divine Sea Realm cultivator needs five million top-grade spirit stones to break through, not to mention an inanimate being like Mu Changsheng, who would need at least tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones as a base.

"Tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones!" Mu Changsheng got a headache just thinking about it. For him at the moment, a million top-grade spirit stones was a huge number, let alone tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones.

Just when Mu Changsheng was having a headache, a figure passed by Mu Changsheng and went away. This was just an ordinary "passing by" between cultivators, but it caught Mu Changsheng's attention.

"It's Ruan Xiong." Mu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly. The person who just passed by was Ruan Xiong.

Mu Changsheng changed his appearance, but Ruan Xiong did not, so Mu Changsheng recognized Ruan Xiong at a glance.

Logically speaking, Mu Changsheng and Ruan Xiong were both in Tianshui Realm, so it would be nothing if they met once. However, Mu Changsheng became suspicious and quietly followed Ruan Xiong.

Ordinary tracking can be easily detected, so Mu Changsheng used a seventh-grade invisibility seal specifically designed to conceal his body.

According to the instructions of Elder Shengu, this seventh-grade invisibility talisman directly acts on the cultivator's physical body, and its concealment effect is far superior to the same-level invisibility talismans and formations. As long as the distance is not too close, even a cultivator in the supernatural power realm will not easily detect it.

Mu Changsheng's tracking this time, not only wanted to see if Ruan Xiong was up to something, but also wanted to try out the effect of the invisibility seal. Even if he was discovered by Ruan Xiong, he could still escape with a fake identity.

Mu Changsheng followed Ruan Xiong from a distance for tens of thousands of miles, but he did not see any abnormal behavior from Ruan Xiong, as if he was unaware of anything.

Ruan Xiong's own movements were also very normal. He mostly wandered along the border between humans and demons, killing demon monks.

Besides being normal, Mu Changsheng also found something a little unusual, that is, Ruan Xiong never changed his appearance and always moved around in a swagger, as if he was not worried at all that he would be targeted.

You know, among the younger generation of the two major sects, Ruan Xiong's fame is second only to Mu Changsheng, and he is very likely to become the target of attack by the demon clan.

"I really don't know where he gets the confidence from." Mu Changsheng shook his head secretly.

After following Ruan Xiong for three days in a row, Mu Changsheng didn't find anything and wanted to give up. But this didn't mean that he gave up his suspicion of Ruan Xiong. He just didn't want to waste too much time on Ruan Xiong.

"The sect should have investigated Ruan Xiong a long time ago. Even the sect had a hard time finding anything, let alone me." Mu Changsheng sighed, "This trip was not completely fruitless. At least I can confirm that this invisibility seal is indeed very effective in concealing my body. During the trip, I met several Sea of ​​Gods and Divine Power Realm cultivators, but no one discovered me."

Then, Mu Changsheng turned around and left, giving up following Ruan Xiong. But what Mu Changsheng didn't know was that as soon as he left, Ruan Xiong showed a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.

……

After another half a month, Mu Changsheng's black-clothed clone finally recovered, but this black-clothed clone was only at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and was currently useless, so Mu Changsheng left the black-clothed clone in Duzhao Peak to practice. He also had a seven-star dragon ball given by Ao Yuan, which could help the black-clothed clone break through quickly.

According to Mu Changsheng's estimation, two months would be enough for the black-clothed clone to break through one level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and within half a year, the black-clothed clone would be able to re-enter the realm of Tribulation Crossing, so there was no need to buy the Divine Fruit to help the black-clothed clone break through quickly, which could be considered as saving a lot of expenses.

After settling the black-clothed clone, Mu Changsheng himself left the sect again and wandered in the Tianshuang Realm.

Although the harvest of Tianshuang Realm is not as good as that of Tianshui Realm, it has the advantage of having Lingshan Sect in charge, which makes it safer. Mu Changsheng still has to consider his own safety.

Yang Wuque has also been cultivating his clones during this period, but Yang Wuque has to cultivate two clones at once, so it takes longer time and he cannot team up with Mu Changsheng for the time being, so Mu Changsheng can only go into battle alone.

On this day, Mu Changsheng himself came to the Huanglong River area and walked along the Huanglong River, looking for demon cultivators.

In the past, there were many demon cultivators on the Huanglong River, but now they are extremely rare. This is also the result of the concerted efforts of the human cultivators in the Tianshuang Realm, who almost defeated the demon cultivators in the Tianshuang Realm.

Mu Changsheng came here originally to try his luck. Even if he couldn't find any demon cultivators, it would be good if he could find some rare treasures.

But what Mu Changsheng never expected was that he actually met Ruan Xiong again!

Just like the last time they met in Tianshui Realm, Mu Changsheng had changed his appearance, but Ruan Xiong still hadn't, so Mu Changsheng was able to notice Ruan Xiong first.

"Why did he come to the Tianshuang Realm again?" Mu Changsheng couldn't help but wonder. The Tianshuang Realm was far from being as "lively" as the Tianshui Realm. Ruan Xiong's appearance this time was really suspicious.

Since he had nothing to do, Mu Changsheng used the seventh-grade invisibility seal again and tracked Ruan Xiong.

Ruan Xiong initially wandered around the Huanglong River area, seemingly looking for traces of demon cultivators. But at a certain moment, Ruan Xiong suddenly made a sharp turn and turned to the southern demon area!

"He went to the demon area!" Mu Changsheng was shocked. A normal human cultivator would never go to the demon area because it was too dangerous. If they encountered a strong demon in the demon area, they would almost certainly die. Just like the demon cultivators would not step into the human area, the two sides were clearly separated by the Huanglong River. At most, they would stop in the Huanglong River area. Ruan Xiong actually dared to step into the demon area, which was extremely suspicious.

Mu Changsheng also noticed that after Ruan Xiong stepped into the demon clan area, his appearance finally changed, and it was a change from head to toe. He grew horns on his head and a long tail on his tail, looking exactly like a demon clan cultivator.

"Could it be that Ruan Xiong is a secret spy of the demon cultivators, and this is his true appearance now?" Mu Changsheng couldn't help but guess. Mu Changsheng had long been sure that Ruan Xiong was not a member of the Changsheng Emperor's side, and the possibility that he was a secret spy of the demon clan was not small. How could he not think so when he unexpectedly saw Ruan Xiong transformed into a demon cultivator.

After a moment, Mu Changsheng made a bold decision and secretly followed Ruan Xiong into the demon clan area. He knew that doing so was risky, but he finally saw Ruan Xiong showing his hand, and he was really unwilling to give up. If he could see Ruan Xiong in contact with the demon clan cultivators with his own eyes, he could immediately confirm Ruan Xiong's identity as a secret spy. Mu Changsheng would notify the sect as soon as possible.
