Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

Chapter 161: If you're right, you live! If you're wrong, you die!

After testing his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, Mu Yu shook his head helplessly.

As expected, the demon race is still a bit lacking.

I don't know if this is just bad luck on my part, or bad luck for the demon race.

After realizing that the plan to find Ao Xiao was dangerous, Mu Yu completely abandoned all adventurous ideas and, like an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, hid in his cave in Tianyuan City to refine pills.

Mu Yu's alchemy skills quickly spread among Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Gradually, some people began to approach him, offering generous rewards to Mu Yu to refine pills.

Mu Yu picked and chose some pills that interested him and accepted them, quickly accumulating wealth.

With Mu Yu's abilities, anything that can be bought with spirit stones is no challenge for him at all.

Unfortunately, most of the things Mu Yu needs are either impossible or very difficult to buy with spirit stones.

Life went on peacefully like this, and more than twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Mu Yu's reputation in Tianyuan City has gradually grown. In addition to human Nascent Soul stage cultivators, many demon cultivators also come to Mu Yu to entrust him with alchemy.

However, unlike the first few years, Mu Yu's alchemy time has been shortened considerably, because ordinary pills and spirit stones are no longer what Mu Yu needs.

Having accumulated enough wealth, Mu Yu naturally needed to spend time improving his cultivation.

Over the past twenty years, Mu Yu has continuously consumed various rare elixirs and quickly broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. At the same time, he mastered all the array formations, weapon refining techniques, and various restrictions that could be collected in Tianyuan City.

Although he studied a variety of subjects, Mu Yu was able to adapt. After all, he didn't need to delve too deeply into any of them; he just needed to understand them.

Meanwhile, during these twenty years, Mu Yu mastered the formula for the Extinction Pill and also passed his first minor tribulation upon arriving in the Spirit Realm.

It is worth mentioning that Mu Yu did not take the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, but relied on his own strength to survive the first dual-color lightning tribulation under the protection of Zen Master Jin Yue.

While undergoing the tribulation, Mu Yu was thinking—

Humans are not considered native inhabitants of the spirit realm, so how did the first ascendants, or the first humans to arrive in the spirit realm, overcome this dual-colored lightning tribulation?

After personally experiencing a tribulation, Mu Yu learned a truth.

The human race has absolutely no chance of surviving this drastically altered calamity on its own.

Even someone as capable as Mu Yu, who could challenge beings at the Void Refinement stage, ended up severely injured when faced with this dual-colored lightning tribulation. No one else had any chance of surviving it.

Regarding this matter, Mu Yu inquired with Zen Master Jin Yue and eventually learned some random guesses from him.

There are rumors that the human race fled to the spirit realm from other realms.

Some say that the true spirits sent some human beings from true spirit families and other human beings to the spirit world.

There are also rumors that the human race survived from a fragment of a plane in the immortal realm and eventually escaped to the spirit realm.

In short, the human race is indeed not the original inhabitant of the spirit realm, and they have only occupied the Fengyun Continent for a few million years.

As for the specific origins of the human race, no one can say for sure.

As for those auxiliary interfaces and ascension platforms, they might be related to immortals who descended to the mortal realm, which is something Zen Master Jin Yue knew even less about.

Millions of years, and it seems like it's been almost a million years since anyone in the spirit world has ascended to immortality. What a coincidence.

Are these also related to the schemes of the Lord of Samsara Palace?

After this thought came to mind, Mu Yu did not continue to explore it, just like the questions she had asked Zen Master Jin Yue before were merely out of momentary curiosity.

Next, Mu Yu went into seclusion and spent time refining seventy-two gold and silver thunder pearls, each possessing power comparable to the Immortal-Slaying Pearl.

After experiencing the dual-colored lightning tribulation once, Mu Yu obediently took the Extinction Pill and stopped going against the rules of the spirit world.

There was no other way. Even with Mu Yu's current resources, he would rather face a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage than endure another tribulation of two colors of lightning.

It's hard to say what kind of outrageous things the ancestors of the human realm did to the Spirit Realm after they came here, that such rules would be left behind.

After surviving the first minor tribulation, Mu Yu cultivated peacefully in Tianyuan City for a period of time.

It wasn't until the twenty-fourth year after Mu Yu arrived in the Spirit Realm that Mu Yu finally met Mo Jianli, the only Mahayana stage expert among the human race.

Mo Jianli's appearance is very similar to Liu Bei in Mu Yu's memories of her previous life, the most striking feature being his pair of ears that almost droop down to his shoulders.

With his white hair, he still looks quite energetic, but he is clearly no longer young.

"Greetings, Senior Mo."

Upon seeing Mo Jianli, Mu Yu greeted him respectfully.

When Mo Jianli met Mu Yu, she also had a kind and gentle appearance, and seemed very easy to talk to.

But Mu Yu dared not be careless. This person had single-handedly supported the entire human race for tens of thousands of years. Whether it was his scheming or his cunning, this person inevitably reminded Mu Yu of the Old Ancestor Linghu.

In a way, the two of them are in somewhat similar positions.

"Mu Yu—your name is quite fitting for your Heavenly Spiritual Root identity."

"I heard you have important information about the Demon Realm to report to me. Then don't waste any more time, just tell me."

After hearing Mo Jianli's words, Mu Yu looked up at Zen Master Jin Yue and said, "I hope that only Senior Mo knows what I am about to say."

After saying this, Mu Yu no longer cared about Mo Jianli's strange expression and turned to Zen Master Jin Yue to explain, "Senior Jin Yue, please don't mind. Not telling you this information is actually a good thing for you."

After thinking for a moment, Mo Jianli gestured for Zen Master Jin Yue to leave the place.

Having obtained Mo Jianli's permission, Zen Master Jin Yue couldn't wait to leave.

He really didn't want to hear about the True Spirit or the Demon Clan!

But there was no other way. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Zen Master Jin Yue was already considered a leader besides Mo Jianli, a Mahayana cultivator, and he had certain responsibilities to shoulder.

Now, being able to reduce some of the burdens is actually a relief for Zen Master Jin Yue.

"Alright, you can say whatever you want to say to me now."

After Zen Master Jin Yue left, Mo Jianli asked Mu Yu a question.

As the only Mahayana stage expert among the human race, being able to tolerate Mu Yu, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, being so presumptuous is already his bottom line.

If the information Mu Yu provided did not satisfy him, Mo Jianli would naturally hold him accountable.

"The whereabouts of a half-human Mahayana cultivator, the whereabouts of a future human Mahayana cultivator, and news of a Mahayana powerhouse who will soon appear among the demon race —"

"Will this information be enough to convince Senior Mo to protect me and trust me unconditionally?"

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am a Wood Spirit, with a Wood-type Heavenly Spirit Root, and I possess the ability to sense good and bad fortune, allowing me to foresee the future in a certain way."

In front of Mo Jianli, Mu Yu revealed his talent almost without reservation.

After all, the stronger one's talent, the more attention one will receive.

If it weren't for the fear of being exposed, Mu Yu would have loved to present himself as the reincarnation of a Daoist ancestor or something similar.

After hearing Mu Yu's words, Mo Jianli's first reaction was disbelief.

Mo Jianli knew a lot about special physiques. For example, Ao Xiao's Seven Star Moon Physique, which had a high probability of breaking through to the Mahayana stage, was already extraordinary enough.

But what am I hearing right now?

Sensing good or bad fortune? Predicting the future? Does this person perhaps think he's just a clown who can be easily fooled?

If it weren't for the last shred of trust Mo Jianli had in Zen Master Jin Yue, he would have wanted to grind the person in front of him to dust.

"Sensing good or bad fortune? Predicting the future?"

"Very well, now I have a spirit stone in my hand. Tell me which hand it is!"

"If you're right, you live! If you're wrong, you die!"

Because Mu Yu's words were so outrageous, Mo Jianli didn't believe a word Mu Yu had said before.

Mu Yu looked at Mo Jianli, whose face was obviously gloomy at the moment, but his face was full of indifference.

Although he was now standing on the edge of a cliff, if he uttered a single wrong word, he would surely die today.

Unfortunately, Mu Yu had already predicted the fate of this trip before even meeting Mo Jianli.

"Senior Mo, I cannot see the future, I can only sense good or bad fortune."

"So, I don't know if what I'm saying is true or false, I only know whether I will die."

"Next, I will give you the answer. Whether the answer is correct or not is not important. What is important is whether the answer will kill me."

After briefly explaining the principles behind her talent, Mu Yu calmly stated, "The left side!"

This time, Mu Yu guessed correctly.

Mo Jianli, however, still wouldn't let Mu Yu off the hook, continuing, "Very good, let's go again!"

This time, Mo Jianli decided that if Mu Yu answered incorrectly, he would kill him.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu replied without hesitation, "The right side."

"continue!"

"left."

"continue!"

"Still on the left—"

"continue----"

Neither of them.

"6

"And this time?"

"Both sides are ————"

"continue----"

"Senior Mo, no matter what I answer this time, you won't kill me."

'

'

After trying hundreds of times, Mu Yu's answers were flawless. No matter how difficult the options Mo Jianli presented, Mu Yu was able to accurately select the most correct one.

At this moment, Mo Jianli did not immediately choose to believe Mu Yu, but instead had some doubts as to whether he had awakened some kind of mind-reading talent.

"Alright, tell me what you know."

Mo Jianli felt a little tired. He hoped that what Mu Yu had said before was true, but he was also a little reluctant to believe it.

"I wonder if Senior Mo has ever heard of the sword cultivator named Qing Yuanzi tens of thousands of years ago, who set up a sword formation with the cultivation of the Void Refinement stage and directly confronted a powerhouse of the Integration stage."

"Later, records of this person among humans disappeared into the wilderness."

"But in reality, he wasn't dead, but he wasn't exactly alive either."

"When Qing Yuanzi was in the Integration Stage, he encountered a powerful enemy. His physical body was destroyed, and only half of his soul remained. He then possessed the body of the Changyuan Clan and merged with it."

"And he is the half-Mahayana stage cultivator I mentioned earlier."

"And what I cultivate is the Qingyuan Sword Technique left behind by Qingyuanzi in the human world."

"Now, I have found a woman with the Heavenly Yin Physique, and I intend to give her to Qing Yuanzi as a disciple in exchange for the subsequent techniques of the Qing Yuan Sword Manual."

"The future Mahayana stage expert I mentioned is none other than the Ice Soul Fairy of the Xu family near Tianyuan City."

"At this moment, the Ice Soul Fairy is already at the Integration Stage. She is trapped in the Heavenly Cauldron Palace on the Blood Heaven Continent. More than two thousand years later, when the Heavenly Cauldron Palace opens, if the Ice Soul Fairy can come out, she will have a 90% chance of breaking through to the Great Ascension Stage."

"Besides, Ao Xiao's granddaughter from the demon race returned to the spirit realm several hundred years ago and awakened the Seven Star Moon Body—"

Mu Yu selected some information and told it all to Mo Jianli.

Currently, Mu Yu can only gain Mo Jianli's trust by taking a great risk to lead him into the sacred land of the Ephemeral Clan to find Qing Yuanzi.

Mo Jianli listened attentively, a strange emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Qing Yuanzi, Ice Soul—"

"These two seem to have some connection to the human realm where you ascended."

"As for the matter of the demon race, it should also be true."

"But—can Qing Yuanzi, who is no longer human, really be trusted?"

When Mo Jianli said these words, his expression was somewhat inscrutable.

Clearly, even now, Mo Jianli still doubts the truthfulness of Mu Yu's words, and may even regard it all as a trap aimed at him.

There was no other way; as the only Mahayana stage expert among the human race, Mo Jianli had to remain vigilant at all times.

Don't assume that a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage is immortal.

It seems that getting Mo Jianli to take him into the River Styx is not very realistic.

But since it's an auspicious sign, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Thinking of this, Mu Yu continued, "Whether Qing Yuanzi is trustworthy or not is not important."

"Qing Yuanzi is currently hiding in the Styx River of the Mayfly Clan to delay the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation. Even if he is trustworthy, he has no way to come out."

"All I want is the cultivation technique that Qing Yuanzi once used."

"It's just that without Senior Mo's help, it will be a bit difficult to enter the River Styx."

Upon hearing about the mayfly clan's sacred land, Mo Jianli's eyelids twitched a few times, but she didn't offer any explanation.

In fact, even if Mo Jianli believed Mu Yu completely, he would never go to a place like the River Styx.

The Ephemeral Clan is a powerful clan that the human race cannot afford to offend, let alone secretly infiltrate their sacred land—a highly sensitive act.

However, the fact that Qing Yuanzi was able to cooperate with the Mayfly Clan suggests that even within the Mahayana stage, Qing Yuanzi is quite powerful.

Unfortunately, Qing Yuanzi is no longer a pure human.

If only Qing Yuanzi had broken through to the Mahayana stage in the human race back then.

That way, I can have an easier time all these years.

However, if he stayed in the human realm, Qing Yuanzi might not have any hope of breaking through to the Mahayana stage.

"Alright, let's put the matter of Qing Yuanzi aside for now. If you have a way, I'll arrange for a few Nascent Soul cultivators to help you."

"Next, tell me about the Demon Realm. I'm more interested in that kind of thing."
