Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 254 - 255: The Array on the Coffin Lid

"This is the item I obtained from the Heavenly Tribulation." freeweɓnøvel.com

At that time, the person lying inside the coffin was burly, so the bronze coffin that Mu Can took out also looked very massive.

Everyone gathered around, curious about the object acquired from the Heavenly Tribulation, a truly rare sight. Although these people were at the peak of Martial Saint, they rarely had the chance to witness Heavenly Tribulation, let alone obtain something from it.

With a clang, Mu Can directly placed the bronze coffin on the table. Xuanyuan Mingkong reached out and touched the coffin, and after feeling its material, his face was filled with confusion. To think that such a physical object, just like real bronze, could exist within the Heavenly Tribulation, this was beyond Xuanyuan Mingkong’s comprehension.

"This contains immense energy," Sword Venerate spoke, his strength being the highest among the group. Thus, his perspective on the bronze coffin lid brought out by Mu Can was different from the others.

"Oh? Brother Sword Venerate, what did you notice?" Xuanyuan Mingkong had probed for a long time without discovering anything, whereas Sword Venerate, who hadn’t even touched it, had already sensed the energy inside.

Mu Can also looked at Sword Venerate with anticipation. Since acquiring the item, Wang Cai had been constantly studying it, but despite all the examination, it seemed just like ordinary bronze material.

Sword Venerate drank all the wine in his cup in one gulp, walked over with large steps, gently caressed the bronze coffin lid, closed his eyes to sense for a moment, then shook his head.

"It’s strange, I can clearly sense the immense energy contained within, but as I get closer, I can’t feel anything." Sword Venerate trusted his judgment; if he could feel the energy, then there must be a tremendous amount inside.

"No, there’s something wrong with these patterns." After careful observation, Sword Venerate came to a conclusion.

"These patterns form an Array that seals all the energy within this bronze coffin lid."

"An Array!" Mu Can looked at the huge coffin lid, his face full of anticipation.

He still had the Array-related books provided by these people. It seemed it was time to rest and delve into the ways of Array. Mu Can was aware of the power of Arrays; if he could master establishing Arrays, future battles would surely be greatly advantageous.

"What exactly is this material made of?" Ge Lao also looked on curiously. The items from the Heavenly Tribulation, even if one searched through all the records in the Immortal Ancient Academy, would find no mention.

"If I’m not mistaken, although it appears to be bronze, the material is likely those heavenly bolts, just transformed into a tangible object by the naturally formed patterns of this Array."

Sword Venerate shared his conjecture.

Although it was a guess, it wasn’t far from the truth, yet the origin of the material remained utterly mysterious.

"In the future, if you can unravel the Array on it, be extremely careful. The energy contained within is too powerful, once released, it would be far stronger than a normal Heavenly Tribulation," Sword Venerate cautioned.

"Let’s pack it up for now." This gathering had nearly a quarter of the high-end combat power of the Immortal Ancient Academy, and with these old fellows unable to discern the origin of this coffin lid, others were even less likely to.

Mu Can put away the coffin lid, and the banquet continued with Mu Can joining in.

"Master, I’ve now broken through to Martial Saint, when can I enter the Immortal Valley Secret Realm?"

Mu Can hadn’t forgotten the purpose of his visit today; first was to report the good news to Xuanyuan Mingkong, and second was to find out when the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm would open.

"Hehe, are you getting anxious?" Xuanyuan Mingkong looked at Mu Can with a smile, like a cunning fox.

"Letting you undergo tribulation without telling me, making me needlessly guess and worry," Xuanyuan Mingkong secretly cursed in his heart.

"Hehe, Master, I really am anxious," Mu Can, in the presence of Xuanyuan Mingkong, had skin as thick as the walls of Immortal Ancient City, completely shameless.

"You little rascal were quite impressive, huh? Going to undergo tribulation alone," Xuanyuan Mingkong said with a smile, looking at Mu Can.

"Hehe, Master, it just happened to be on the way there, I didn’t expect a mere Heavenly Tribulation to cause such a stir."

"You don’t know, you attracted over twenty Immortal Venerables. If it wasn’t for the concern over starting a war in the Mortal World, those people might have come straight to you," Xuanyuan Mingkong said seriously. Today’s situation, if not for these people exerting pressure, the Venerables of Immortal World would actually have made a move.

"I understand," Mu Can knew Xuanyuan Mingkong was looking out for him and nodded.

"Ge Lao, when can the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm be opened?" Xuanyuan Mingkong asked.

The opening of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm wasn’t something Xuanyuan Mingkong could decide alone; opening the Immortal Valley Secret Realm required at least three deputy deans with real power to decide.

And among those present, only Ge Lao and Xuanyuan Mingkong were genuine deputy deans with real power.

"I have no issues; as long as Mu Can is ready, we can open it at any time," Ge Lao took a sip of his wine, smacking his lips.

After drinking Monkey Wine, any other wines from the Mortal World seemed tasteless.

"Alright, ten days from now, we’ll open the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, announcing to the Mortal World. Anyone at the level of Martial Venerate in Mortal World can enter the outer realm, but only Martial Saints can enter the inner area," Xuanyuan Mingkong nodded and stated.

With three deputy deans needed to decide, and now having two in agreement, they only needed to find one more, and they could directly open the Immortal Ancient Academy.

"Alright," Ge Lao nodded, indicating he agreed with Xuanyuan Mingkong’s plan.

Among the group, Mu Can was probably the happiest, knowing that entering the Immortal Ancient Academy would bring him to the threshold of the Void level.

"Don’t get too happy too soon; the opening of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm will surely bring back any young powerhouses with a bit of strength in the Mortal World. Donghuang will surely return as well, and by then, your grievances will need to be settled," Xuanyuan Mingkong continued.

"And this time, I’m planning to lift the restrictions, allowing any Cultivator from the Mortal World to enter; it’s time to strengthen the power of the Mortal World," Xuanyuan Mingkong added.

With the large-scale arrival of the Demon World, incidents of slaughtering human cities had now become rare, and it was time for the students dispatched by the Immortal Ancient Academy to return.
