Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 253 - 254 Coffin Plank

By the time Mu Can returned to Immortal Ancient City, it was already approaching afternoon.

Wang Cai had promised Mu Can to find a suitable opportunity for him to directly absorb that Silver Level World Seed, which was expected to directly elevate Mu Can to the peak of Martial Saint Level. In this case, once Mu Can was eligible to enter the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, he could leverage the power there to break through directly to the Void Level.

Once Mu Can reached the Void Level, as long as the Void Level experts from the Demon World and the Immortal World hadn’t yet entered the Mortal World by that time, Mu Can would be the only Void Level expert in the Mortal World, and quelling the chaos in the Mortal World would undoubtedly be a problem-free task.

As soon as Mu Can entered the city, he heard almost everyone discussing the events that had happened today.

A mysterious expert underwent Heavenly Tribulation within the Immortal Ancient Mountain Range, and the Immortal Venerables’ attempt to attack was repelled by Vice President Xuanyuan.

These two major events had, in just half a day’s time, spread throughout the entire Immortal Ancient City.

"Immortal Venerables attacking? It couldn’t have been because of my tribulation, could it?" Mu Can pondered, and indeed it seemed quite possible.

Forget it, I should go find Master first, and let him know that I’ve broken through to Martial Saint, hehe, it will definitely give him a shock.

Mu Can made up his mind and decided to surprise Xuanyuan Mingkong first.

"Master, I’m back." As soon as Mu Can walked in, he called out loud, just like a child who couldn’t wait to show off to his parents after scoring full marks on an exam.

"Brother Mu Can, Master isn’t here, he went to attend a banquet." Upon hearing Mu Can’s shouting, Old Hu stepped out, informing him that Xuanyuan Mingkong wasn’t around, and had instead gone to a celebration banquet for Sword Venerate with Ge Lao and the others.

"Brother Mu Can, where have you been? Master was looking for you this morning." Old Hu’s mind didn’t even consider the possibility that Mu Can was the one who underwent tribulation that morning.

"Um, I’m going to find Master." Mu Can spoke.

"Eh? Brother Mu Can, why do I feel you’re a bit different?" Old Hu sensed something was different about Mu Can, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

With Old Hu’s ability, he couldn’t spot the changes in Mu Can, only keenly sensing that Mu Can was different from before.

"I’ll tell you a secret, I’ve had a breakthrough." Mu Can grinned and spoke.

"You’ve broken through? What? You’ve broken through?" Old Hu’s voice immediately went up by eight decibels.

He knew Mu Can’s previous strength was at the peak of Martial Venerate, so if he’s had a breakthrough now, then Mu Can’s current strength would be at the Martial Saint Level, wouldn’t it?

In Old Hu’s mind, Martial Saint Level represented the strongest combat force in the entire Mortal World. You see, Xuanyuan Mingkong himself was merely a Martial Saint powerhouse. Stepping into Martial Saint, everything would change.

"Brother Mu Can, have you become a Martial Saint?" Old Hu’s face was filled with surprise and he genuinely rejoiced for Mu Can from the bottom of his heart.

It must be known that Mu Can’s enemy, Donghuang, had also become a Martial Saint Level expert. Now that Mu Can had also become a Martial Saint, the two of them could truly be considered evenly matched.

"Yep." Mu Can nodded. There was nothing to hide about this, and he hadn’t intended to keep it a secret anyway.

"That’s fantastic!" Old Hu hugged Mu Can tightly, then gently placed him back down.

"I’m going to let them know, to prepare a celebration banquet for you today."

Watching Old Hu run off like a puff of smoke, disappearing without a trace, Mu Can could only helplessly shake his head. Oh, this Old Hu.

Mu Can directly made his way to the assembly hall, which generally served as the venue for celebration banquets. It seemed the banquet had already been going on for some time, with the entire hall filled with the fragrance of wine and dishes.

"Master, I’ve arrived." To Mu Can, this place was all too familiar; he simply pushed the door open and entered.

"You brat, come over here." It was clear that everyone present was in high spirits. Seeing Mu Can approach, Xuanyuan Mingkong waved at him.

Mu Can walked up close to Xuanyuan Mingkong, who, along with Elder Ge and the others, put down their wine cups and scrutinized Mu Can from head to toe before nodding.

"You rascal, have you broken through to Martial Saint level?" Xuanyuan Mingkong asked.

"Disciple is here precisely to inform Master of this news. I have fulfilled everyone’s expectations and have broken through to Martial Saint today," Mu Can said with a bashful look, but his tone was anything but modest. He had once claimed that he could break through to Martial Saint whenever he wished, and he proved the truth of that statement in just one day.

"Excellent." Xuanyuan Mingkong’s eyes brightened with admiration.

"I told you, today’s Heavenly Tribulation had to be this kid’s doing." Elder Ge drained his cup in one gulp, clearly in a very happy mood.

"Come on, tell us, was it really you who caused such a commotion with your tribulation crossing today?" Elder Ge asked with a face full of anticipation.

"Indeed." Mu Can nodded. He had indeed come today to bring good tidings and had never intended to hide anything from these people.

"Wonderful, the Mortal World has a successor." Hearing Mu Can’s affirmative response, Elder Ge’s eyes filled with tears.

Having survived the Lotus Tribulation meant that Mu Can was almost certain to be able to break through to the Void Level, becoming a Void Level expert. For the Mortal World at present, a Void Level expert could play a decisive role in the outcome of battles.

"How did you do it, lad? Why did the last two strikes of the Heavenly Tribulation not come down at all?" Xuanyuan Mingkong voiced his confusion, as they had all been waiting there for the last of the tribulation, which then inexplicably vanished.

"Master, due to the unique nature of the Cultivation Technique I practice, I have some resistance to the Heavenly Tribulation, so I boldly entered the Tribulation Cloud."

"You really have some nerve, do you think Heavenly Tribulation is a joke?" Xuanyuan Mingkong sternly chastised.

"And then?" Seeing Mu Can bow his head in a manner that seemed to admit his mistake quietly, Xuanyuan Mingkong inquired further.

"After that, the disciple discovered the secrets of the Heavenly Tribulation," Mu Can secretly chuckled to himself but went on to say.

"The secrets of the Heavenly Tribulation?" Elder Ge also asked.

Everyone in the room pricked up their ears. Heavenly Tribulation in the Mortal World was rare, and even when it occasionally occurred, it was treated with utmost seriousness. It was unthinkable to be like Mu Can, daring to delve into the Tribulation Cloud to explore.

"Disciple found that within this Tribulation Cloud, there was a world hidden within it, and there were even buildings in there," Mu Can relayed what he had seen within the Tribulation Cloud.

"So there was such a secret hidden inside the Tribulation Cloud. You said you got a piece of coffin plank from within it; bring it out and let everyone see what kind of thing it is," Xuanyuan Mingkong spoke up.

Everyone present was curious about what Mu Can had seen and obtained from within the Tribulation Cloud.

Mu Can nodded and took out the coffin plank he had obtained from within the Tribulation Cloud.
