3 Trading Three Years of Lifespan With Two Supreme Exercises

"Hehe, brat. Since you could give me your life, then give all of your life to me!"

Suddenly, heavy pressure descended on Li Changseng's body.

Even if it was just a fraction of Mo Tiesha power, it should've been able to easily crush the spirit of a cultivator in the Profound Core realm, let alone an ant like Li Changseng, who was just in the first level of the body refining stage.

But to Mo Tiesha's horror, the consequent event didn't unfold according to his expectations at all.

The brat who was supposed to fall on his knees right now, begging for his mercy, was standing in front of him like nothing had happened; on the contrary, he was the one who was once again deprived of the strength that he had just obtained a few minutes ago.

Without the strength to support his body, Mo Tiesha fell to the ground like a puppet with its string cut and sprawled on the ground, just like the first time Li Changseng saw him upon entering the cell.

In the next second, a panicky voice entered Li Changseng's mind. "Brat, what've you done to me?!"

"As expected of a traitorous general, once you regained your power, you quickly turned your back on me and couldn't wait to bite me!" Li Changseng crossed his arms and sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? I know what kind of person I'm dealing with, so of course I have to be prepared for the worst to happen. Has it never crossed your mind that if I can give you life, I can also take it back?"

A realization struck Mo Tiesha hard, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly. He was too complacent and reckless. Thinking that Li Changseng couldn't do anything to him, he acted impulsively and threatened him, but in the end, he couldn't get any benefits.

"I had some hope that someone like you would be able to make a better decision, but it seems that I overestimate you. If that's the case, it's better to leave you alone here to rot."

After Li Changseng finished speaking, he turned around without the slightest hesitation and headed back toward the entrance.

Mo Tiesha initially didn't believe that Li Changseng would leave just like that, but sensing that his presence grew fainter, he began to panic. After all, he had tasted the sweet taste of hope, and there's no way he could let the opportunity to extend his life go just like that.

Before Li Changseng disappeared completely from the room, Mo Tiesha hurriedly transmitted his spiritual sense to Li Changseng to stop him.

"Wait, brat. Don't go yet! I won't attack you again, I promise! If you don't believe me, I'm willing to swear by the name of heaven!"

Li Changseng kept walking forward, as though he couldn't hear his words at all.

"Damn it, please give me another chance, boy! No, brother, it's just a misunderstanding, please don't go!"

Despite lowering his head and speaking so humblely to Li Changseng, Mo Tiesha couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart. When was the last time he acted so timid and desperate in front of others? Even when facing the saint, he hadn't acted so humble right now.

But still, smart people knew when to advance or retreat.

If he were a few years younger, he might have scoffed at himself in disdain for acting so cowardly, but as he had experienced the helplessness of nearing the limit of his lifespan, he could even let go of his face if it meant that he could live a little bit longer. That was how scared he was in the face of death.

Li Changseng finally halted his step; a faint curve was raised on the edge of his lips, forming a subtle smile.

Of course, he didn't want to leave in the first place. It was just a scare tactic to put Mo Tiesha in his place.

He knew that, as a supreme-level powerhouse, Mo Tiesha had his own arrogance.

Just by the fact that he dared to stage a rebellion against the ruling dynasty, he proved that he was someone who couldn't stand being under another person.

So, he deliberately played with Mo Tiesha by demonstrating his ability to freely grant lifespan, take it back, and then pretend to give up on him.

By doing so, he would have the upper hand, and while not completely extinguishing Mo Tiesha's rebellious thoughts, at least it could deter him from recklessly attacking him.

Under his calculation, the once mighty general was now in being played in his palm.

Turning around, Li Changseng trod toward Mo Tiesha with hands behind his back and stopped right beside him.

With a cocky grin on his face, he asked knowingly, "How's it? Now you believe my words, don't you?"

Although he was annoyed by Li Changseng's attitude, he quickly gave him a reply, "I was wrong, I was wrong, big brother, I'm really sorry for what happened just now!" Seeing that Li Changseng didn't seem to have the intention to leave again, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can you really extend my life?"

"Of course, I can." Li Changseng readily nodded and then added in a serious tone, "But there's no free lunch in this world. If you want to live longer, you need to trade for something that I can be satisfied with."

"What would you like?"

"I remember that you once created a supreme exercise called Peerless Heavenly Art while at the same time comprehending a secret technique called Peerless Golden Body. Just give me those two things, and I'll give you three years of lifespan. What do you think?"

At this point, Mo Tiesha instantly understood that Li Changseng had been eyeing his supreme arts from the beginning.

He wasn't that surprised, though, because this peerless technique was really tempting, even a saint-level powerhouse in the Void Transformation realm would covet this technique, let alone a small fry like Li Changseng.

He fell silent for a while, making calculations in his mind about whether this deal was worth it or not.

Li Changseng waited patiently and didn't pressure him to answer. After, all the time was on his side. He might not be in a hurry to obtain this supreme cultivation technique, but the same couldn't be said for Mo Tiesha, as he had a mere week left before setting off to Western Paradise.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Changseng finally received another thought transmission from Mo Tiesha. "What if I pass on my unique skills to you and you renege your words, or you take the lifespan back immediately after I give them to you?"

This was the biggest concern for him; if it was not resolved, he would rather not proceed with this transaction.

Li Changseng had expected this reaction and, without hesitation, made a vow in Heaven's name. "I, Li Changseng, swore by heaven's name. I'll give you the lifespan I have promised you after receiving the two things I mentioned before, and I won't cheat you in any way. As long as you don't do anything to me, I'll never go back on my word. If I break this vow, I'll be punished by heaven!"

After seeing Li Changseng desicively make a vow under heaven's name, Mo Tiesha finally let go of all of his hesitation and said, "Okay, I will make a deal with you! But you have to fulfill your side of the agreement first. I'm now dying and don't have energy to move my body, let alone pass on my unique skills to you."

Li Changseng readily nodded and immediately performed the life-transferring technique again.

Soon after, Mo Tiesha once again felt a surging current of endless vitality course through his meridian, and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

In the blink of an eye, his skinny body regained its flesh and muscles, and his skin lost its wrinkles and became as smooth as baby skin. His white hair turned shiny black, as if it had shimmered in ink.

Stood before Li Changseng, Mo Tiesha was in his prime, looking like someone in his early thirties.

"Hahahaha!!!" Mo Tiesha cocked his head toward the sky, his chest heaving up and down as he let out boisterous laughter. "I, Mo Tiesha, have returned!"

Suddenly, a strong breath spread wildly across the entire Eternal Dungeon, and the ground shook under its impact.

Li Changseng stood beside Mo Tiesha, looking as indifferent as ever.

Waiting for him to calm down, Li Changseng finally opened his mouth.

"Don't forget the part of your deal. I've given you life, so this time it's your turn to fulfil your promise."

Mo Tiesha glanced at the boy beside him with a hint of awe and fear.

If before he still had the idea of putting him under his control and letting him transfer more lifespans, now he doesn't dare to even think about it.

He was really convinced by Li Changseng's magical method.

"Hehehe... don't worry, Brother Li. I'll pass on all the knowledge of my unique skills to you right now!"

Even the mighty Mo Tiesha behaved as obedient as a puppy in front of Li Changseng. He was gravely aware that even if he were alive now, he only had three more years to live. Once the three years passed, if Li Changseng didn't renew his life, he would still kick a bucket.

Although he had his own misgivings, he knew that only by pleasing Li Changseng could he live longer. And thinking positively, if he could make Li Changseng acknowledge his worth, he might be able to live for another hundred years or more!

It didn't take a genius to know what choice he should make!

He would tread the path of bootlicking!

Let's bootlick to seek longevity!

Afraid that Li Changseng would be dissatisfied by his tardiness, Mo Tiesha didn't dawdle for too long and immediately transmitted his unique methods to Li Changseng.

As soon as a ray of light entered his glabella, a huge amount of information flooded Li Changseng's mind, and he needed a few hours to digest it.

Li Changseng couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration after reading through all the information about both of the techniques passed by Mo Tiesha. He realized that he had severely underestimated the prowess of these supreme techniques.

Peerless Heavenly Art and Peerless Golden Body were supreme techniques created by Mo Tiesha.

Practising these techniques not only made one's aura extremely dense and powerful but also provided him with endless strength and unbreakable defense. If the enemy's strength was below that of the practitioner of this method, they would even lose their fighting spirit under the breath of the exercises!

Li Changseng even thought that if at that time Mo Tiesha had broken through the Origin Returning realm and sanctified first before launching his rebellion, the destruction of the Great Desolate Kingdom wasn't a possibility anymore but a matter-of-course, an inevitable event.

With this Peerless Heavenly Art and Peerless Golden Body Technique, anyone who learned this skill would definitely be unrivaled in the same realm, and just like what Mo Tiesha had demonstrated in his battle against the Great Desolate Kingdom's Saint Ancestor, it wasn't impossible to do a leapfrogging battle.

Li Changseng couldn't help but feel excited and subconsciously murmured, "With these techniques, my cultivation speed will definitely improve, right?"

From the information in his mind, he could be sure that Mo Tiesha didn't play any tricks to deceive him, and the techniques passed on to him were also complete.

Therefore, he didn't waste any seconds further and immediately sat down on the ground in a lotus position and started practicing the supreme exercise.
