Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 255 - 256: Re-entering the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer

The news of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm reopening spread across the Mortal World like a sweeping wave.

Almost everywhere people populated, they discussed this matter, although many had no idea what the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm actually was, but that did not prevent the masses from becoming fervent about it.

With the Demon World invading the Mortal World, most of the Mortal World plunged into blood and storm; if not for the timely dispatch of numerous students and teachers from the Immortal Ancient Academy, the Mortal World might now have more than half of its population dead under the Demon World’s sacrifices.

"Have you heard? This time the Immortal Ancient Academy has decided to open the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm to outsiders."

In those cities within the Mortal World that had not been overtaken by the Demon World, conversations like this filled the air.

"What is the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm?" Many people here indeed did not know what the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was.

"You know about Immortal Ancient Academy, right? It’s the best academy in the Mortal World. This damned invasion by the Demon Clan, if it weren’t for the disciples and teachers of Immortal Ancient Academy coming out to eliminate demons and protect the path, we probably wouldn’t even have the peaceful life to drink here. But do you know why Immortal Ancient Academy is so formidable? I’ve inquired about it; it’s because of this Immortal Ancient Secret Realm; the main reason why so many powerful figures emerge from Immortal Ancient Academy is because of this Immortal Ancient Secret Realm," the respondent said mysteriously, though he was actually just repeating hearsay, and now such news is everywhere in the Mortal World, no one could discern what was true.

If those who knew the inside story heard such a conversation, they would probably just shake their heads and laugh lightly; if the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was really as they imagined, then cultivators at the Void Level would be everywhere in the Mortal World, and no one could estimate how many Martial Saints were forever stuck at the peak of Martial Saint.

"The Immortal Ancient Secret Realm is opening? It seems it’s time to go back," a very handsome young man whispered to himself.

The young man was graceful and always had a warm smile on his face, seemingly carrying an aura of sunshine wherever he went, making anyone who looked at him feel goodwill. However, only those who truly knew him understood how ruthless he could be.

The young man was none other than Prince Donghuang, the heir to a vast empire, who was currently quelling the chaos of the Demon Clan within his own country. Upon hearing the news of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm’s opening, Donghuang quietly embarked on his journey.

This was his best opportunity; once he managed to reach the Void Level, he would become the ruler of the Mortal World in this era where the Void Level is unreachable.

The same scene unfolded in various parts of the Mortal World; squads of students who came out to quell the chaos of the Demon Clan all chose to return to the Immortal Ancient Academy. After various obstructions, the Demon World also lost a large number of experts, and temporarily receded, the Mortal World welcomed a brief period of peace.

But everyone knew, this brief respite was an uncertain bottleneck that could break at any time; once the Immortal Ancient Academy waged war, it would truly be the final battle concerning the Mortal World.

Not only were the students of the Immortal Ancient Academy embarking on their journey back to school, but also those loose cultivators who heard the news were rushing to the Immortal Ancient Academy, seeking a sliver of opportunity.

The cultivators heading to the Immortal Ancient Academy coalesced into a mighty iron stream, their goal being to attain the opportunities within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

"Big brother, have you heard? The Mortal World is actually going to open some secret realm, rumors say there are secrets to breaking through Martial Saint level inside. Isn’t Martial Saint equivalent to our Demon Lord? We could sneak in."

Four figures sat in a small tavern, drinking, including one who appeared as frail as a scholar, who lowered his voice to ask.

These four were the Mei Shan brothers who had officially left the Demon World’s camp and successfully infiltrated the cities of the Mortal World.

"Void Level." The Mei Shan brothers, being Demon Lords from the Demon World, had some understanding of the levels beyond Demon Lord, but knowing is one thing; over the years in the Mortal World, only the Demon Ancestor and the ten great Demon Lords were Void Level experts. Others were trapped in the realm of Demon Lord and could not even touch the threshold.

"We must go, no matter what, we must obtain this opportunity. As long as one of us four can break through to the Void Level, then we would no longer have to look at anyone’s face. I bet that kid undergoing tribulation will go too; at that time, we can find a chance to kill him."

These four brothers knew little about the Immortal Ancient Academy and had no idea what the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm really was; even if they could enter the Secret Realm, they could only enter the periphery. If there were no restrictions in the core area of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, then the Mortal World would already be overflowing with Void Level experts.

"Wang Cai, I need to enter the third layer." Wang Cai hatte recently gained quite a bit of benefit; Mu Can hadn’t really asked Wang Cai for any favors, simply making his request directly.

During Mu Can’s tribulation, Wang Cai had unknowingly absorbed a large amount of life energy, which was already sufficient for Mu Can to spend several years in the third layer.

"Woof! You little rascal first think of a way to fuse with the World Seed, then it’ll see changes within these four layers." Wang Cai’s voice carried a hint of excitement; these days, Wang Cai had been immersed in his excitement, the World Seed had begun to take root and sprout, and the situation in the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer was now completely different from before; it had transformed from a vast desert into a lush green meadow, and its surroundings were still slowly spreading. Watching these changes every day, one could imagine Wang Cai’s mood.

"Alright." Mu Can indeed wished for nothing more; in this situation, Mu Can did not mind trying every method to increase his power.

For Martial Saints, given the current circumstances, there was simply no help; only by breaking through to the Void Level could one have an overwhelming advantage over the current Demon World, and what Mu Can feared the most was the successful descent of Void Level beings from the Demon World and Immortal World into the Mortal World, then the fate of the Mortal World might change hands.

On appearing again in the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer, Mu Can also opened his mouth in surprise; this place bore no resemblance to what he had seen before. If not for the familiar stone platform in the center, Mu Can would hardly believe this was the same small patch of desert from before.

In just a few days, the area had turned lush green, and one could even hear the sounds of insects, as if a desolate land had suddenly borne the fruits of life.

"Is this life real?" Mu Can gently picked up a small insect from the ground, playing with it in his hands.
