No hope for eternal life

Chapter 522 The truth behind history

"In fact, this secret has been hidden in the history of ten thousand years ago, but you just haven't discovered it." Yi Qianhuan explained: "That history is about Yang Wuji and Xiao Busheng teaming up to kill the three ninth-level cultivators Tianshui, Tianxing, and Tianfeng."

“When ordinary people hear about this, they will only think that Yang Wuji and Xiao Busheng are extremely powerful and shocking. But you have now reached the eighth realm, and you should be very clear about the gap between the eighth realm and the ninth realm. What’s more, the Tianshui Emperor at that time was the second most powerful demon after the Changsheng Emperor.”

Mu Changsheng's face was solemn. After Yi Qianhuan's reminder, he indeed realized that there was something unreasonable. Not to mention the fighting power of Yang Wuji and Xiao Busheng, even if Tianshui Emperor and the other two could not defeat them, didn't they know to run away? Why did they have to fight to the death?

Yi Qianhuan had already noticed the change in Mu Changsheng's expression, and said to Xiao Niansheng in a somewhat strange tone: "It seems that you really haven't told him anything at all."

"I didn't say it because I didn't think it was necessary." Xiao Niansheng replied calmly: "But since you've said it, just continue."

Yi Qianhuan couldn't understand Xiao Niansheng, shook his head and continued: "The story started before that battle. At that time, the righteous path was declining, and only You Wuye, Ji Tianyu and Feng Rui Zongzhu were struggling to support the Nine Realms. The Demonic Path had a new general, Black Demon, and there were seven Nine Realms demons. Therefore, the Emperor Changsheng had the idea of ​​flattening the Tianling Realm, Tianyou Realm and Sub-Saint Realm. The plan of the Emperor Changsheng was simple and direct. He and Black Demon attacked the Tianling Realm, Tianshuang and Emperor Tianyuan of the Tianshuang Realm attacked the Tianyou Realm, and the remaining three Emperors Tianshui attacked the weakest Sub-Saint Realm."

"After the war began, the three of Emperor Tianshui suddenly changed their minds and did not attack the Sub-Saint Realm as originally planned. Instead, they went to the Celestial Realm, hoping to refine the power of the living beings in that realm to increase their cultivation. It was there that the three of them met Yang Wuji and Xiao Busheng, who had been lying in wait for them in the Celestial Realm."

"Has the ambush been set up long ago?" Mu Changsheng asked.

"You realize the problem, don't you?" Yi Qianhuan replied, "The three Tianshui Emperors changed their minds at the last minute. In addition, the taboo of refining the living beings of a whole world was something that the three of them could not spread. However, Yang Wuji knew that they would appear in the Heavenly Human Realm at that time, and set up an ambush with Xiao Busheng in advance. Yang Wuji set up countless chain formations in the Heavenly Human Realm in advance, and the three Tianshui Emperors were unable to completely break those formations until they died. So it's not that the three of them didn't want to escape, but that they couldn't escape at all. They could only fight with Yang Wuji and the other two, and eventually died together."

Mu Changsheng didn't know what expression to use to express his inner shock at this moment. It turned out that this was the truth behind history, which was a hundred or a thousand times more heroic than what he read in books. He could even imagine how helpless and desperate Emperor Tianshui and the other two were at that time. There were only two paths before them: either be killed or fight to the death and die with Yang Wuji and Xiao Busheng. In short, no matter what choice they made, they had to die.

“In addition to this, there is some supporting evidence. Before the war, Yang Wuji borrowed a large number of spiritual materials from the Ji clan, almost draining the Ji clan’s resources. That batch of spiritual materials was finally used in the Tianren Realm chain formation that trapped Emperor Tianshui and three other people.” Yi Qianhuan was recounting the evidence that could prove that someone could indeed predict the future. He was also talking about Yang Wuji and Xiao Busheng’s spirit of facing death with indifference. Even though they knew they would die, they still did it.

Finally, Yi Qianhuan concluded: "From this, we can be sure of one thing, that is, there must be someone who has some kind of ability to predict the future and predicted the behavior of the three people of Tianshui Emperor in advance. Moreover, this ability is unlikely to be acquired through acquired learning, and is mostly related to the cultivator's innate magical power. Therefore, the scope of character investigation is limited to the cultivators of the eighth and ninth realms at that time. First of all, it is not Xiao Busheng, which can be testified by the mother of Xiao Zongzhu. Secondly, it is not Yang Wuji, because Yang Wuji's innate magical power is related to the sword, and the Fengrui Zongzhu can testify to this. After checking one by one, the only one left is Senior Yin Buhui, who had just broken through to the eighth realm not long ago. This is also in line with the situation at the time, because before Senior Yin Buhui, no one had ever heard of anyone who could predict the future. That person should be a newly promoted eighth realm cultivator."

Mu Changsheng was speechless. He had to admit that he was convinced by Yi Qianhuan, because apart from this explanation, there was really no other reasonable explanation. And now, Mu Changsheng finally understood why Yi Qianhuan said before that Yin Buhui had already answered his question by not answering it.

Yin Buhui has the ability to predict the future, but he treats Mu Changsheng coldly and refuses to say a word to him. Doesn't it mean that Yin Buhui doesn't think highly of Mu Changsheng at all?

In addition, Mu Changsheng also recalled his past encounter with the Heavenly Demon Sword Spirit in the Fallen Ruins. After hearing his name, the Heavenly Demon Sword Spirit was obviously a little abnormal and even asked him if he was born in the Tianshuang Realm. It was obvious that he knew something.

Finally, Yi Qianhuan solemnly questioned Mu Changsheng: "So, I want to ask you one last time, do you really want to insist on fighting for the position of the Ten Realms?"

This time, Mu Changsheng did not respond immediately and decisively as before, and his determination inevitably wavered a little.

At this moment, a hand reached out from behind Mu Changsheng, placed on his shoulder, and patted him twice to comfort him. Mu Changsheng turned around and saw Xiao Niansheng with a peaceful face.

"Do you know why I have never mentioned this to you?" Xiao Niansheng asked softly.

Mu Changsheng pondered for a long time and came to a conclusion: "Master does not believe in fate."

Although Mu Changsheng himself has a treasure-hunting secret technique that can almost predict the future, in Mu Changsheng's opinion, predicting the future is still a very scary thing, because it means that everything in the future has already been arranged in advance by an invisible hand of fate. In this case, what is the point of practicing? Everyone does not need to do anything, and anything they do is redundant. Just wait honestly for fate to arrange it.

Xiao Niansheng nodded slightly, acknowledging Mu Changsheng's answer, and explained: "In my opinion, the so-called destiny exists if you believe in it, and does not exist if you don't believe in it. Instead of worrying about your future and destiny every day, it is better to live in the present. As long as you want to do something that does not violate morality, reason and law, then do it, and vice versa."

Mu Changchang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his mind suddenly open up. Yes, just do what you want to do. Hesitating and looking back is not his style.

Seeing Mu Changsheng's expression, Yi Qianhuan already knew Mu Changsheng's answer. He smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly and said: "You two, master and disciple, are really a perfect match."
