Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 272 - 273: The Fate of the Interface Seed

"Recognize master?" After hearing Xiao Tian’s words, Mu Can looked puzzled. When had Xiao Tian acknowledged him as his master?

"Jianmu blooms every five thousand years and bears a fruit in another five thousand. Such a colossal Jianmu produces a fruit only once in ten thousand years. The fruit absorbs energy within Jianmu until it matures and falls to the ground, then it slowly degenerates into a seed. If nobody acquires it, the seed will be reabsorbed by Jianmu. And this seed is the Interface Seed."

The existence of Jianmu within the Supreme Interface has always been a mystery. No one knows why it appears or even why it exists. All people know is that every few decades, someone fortunate obtains an Interface Seed, which leads them to the peak of life, gets them immense wealth and beauty.

"Do you know? Each seed actually lacks self-awareness. Only after being obtained by someone and branded with Life Energy does it gradually develop its own will, its own name, and the hope of growing."

Xiao Tian was one such fortunate seed, lucky enough to be taken from Jianmu by someone and successfully grew into an Interface.

Wang Cai had previously struggled to acquire nearly all his Life Energy, which went into Xiao Tian’s belly. It was at that time that Xiao Tian slowly gained his own consciousness and his own name.

Initially, because the seed had not recognized a master, the energy contained within Xiao Tian leaked out, causing the formation of a massive grassland outside. Now that Xiao Tian has recognized Mu Can as his master, this world has thus taken shape.

"Try and feel our connection, then you’ll know everything," Xiao Tian said with a complex expression, looking at Mu Can.

Even though Xiao Tian wasn’t quite convinced about Mu Can, now that he had recognized Mu Can as his master, Xiao Tian belonged to Mu Can.

Mu Can sensed and found that while the seed in his Sea of Consciousness had disappeared, a dark green leaf appeared in its former place. It looked like a piece of jade, hanging there.

"So it’s like this."

Through the profound connection with Xiao Tian, Mu Can came to understand everything.

As the foremost among countless worlds, the origin of the Supreme Interface was unknown, but Jianmu has existed ever since the Supreme Interface existed.

A spirit root of Heaven and Earth, beginning of all worlds.

In a way, Jianmu could be considered the origin of other interfaces. Most interfaces originated from the fruits of Jianmu. Each fruit has different characteristics, which resulted in a myriad of unique worlds — just like no two leaves in the world are identical, there are no two identical interfaces.

An Interface Seed only survives for a mere month. If no one acquires it during this time, it will be reabsorbed by Jianmu.

But Xiao Tian was a fortunate seed, lucky to be taken away from Jianmu’s side, and an Interface Seed, in its existence, can only recognize one master, who is then the Sovereign of the formed interface.

Knowing the full story, Mu Can put aside his hostility towards Xiao Tian.

"Your luck is very good," Xiao Tian suddenly spoke.

Mu Can’s luck was indeed incredible – an undeniable fact that even he had never denied.

"Is it because you are a Silver Seed?" Mu Can asked.

"It’s not just because I am of the Silver Level. It’s because I absorbed a huge amount of Life Energy before forming. But that’s not the main reason," Xiao Tian teased, not continuing.

"And then?"

Xiao Tian was waiting for Mu Can’s question. His illusion had been so easily seen through by Mu Can, which still bothered Xiao Tian. However, even with that bother, after establishing a contract with Mu Can successfully, Xiao Tian could not possibly do anything that would harm Mu Can.

But some minor antagonism that was not a serious matter was still fine.

"There are two crucial stages for an Interface Seed. The first is during the activation from absorbing energy; the amount and weight of energy determine the world’s level of Sky Opening when the seed forms. The second is during the process of Sky Opening."

Xiao Tian did not wait for Mu Can to ask again and continued speaking.

"Do you know? Your luck was incredibly good during the creation of this world; you even entered a state of spiritual enlightenment. In that state of Unity of Heaven and Man, you were able to utilize to the greatest extent the Heaven and Earth Laws contained within the seed, maximizing the perfection of this world."

Mu Can’s luck could no longer just be described as luck; it had ascended to the level of Qi Fortune.

Those like Mu Can who entered the state of Unity of Heaven and Man during the process with an Interface Seed were few and far between.

"Wang Cai, could it be the Qi Fortune I absorbed earlier taking effect?" Mu Can knew his luck had always been good, but he hadn’t expected it to be to this extent.

Everything in the world has a reasonable explanation, and Mu Can’s guess was that the Qi Fortune he absorbed during the Heavenly Tribulation was at play.

"Wow! Your luck, kid, is simply beyond words, woof woof!" Wang Cai was visibly excited.

With a Perfect Level Silver Interface, Mu Can’s future achievements were immeasurable.

"Why are there no living beings in this world?" Mu Can looked at the vast world, still feeling as if it lacked many things.

Life, it was the most crucial thing missing in this world.

"Do you know? Interfaces themselves have their own lives. The current world is still in a state of growth. Only after you provide sufficient Life Energy will this world truly generate its Origin life, which is the indigenous inhabitants of this world. And in who knows how many tens of thousands of years, this world will also slowly decline. If what I see in your memories is the realm you currently live in, it is a realm in its decline."

Xiao Tian began explaining, perfectly answering all of Mu Can’s questions.

"So it is."

There were so many secrets hidden within an interface.

Observing this great world, Mu Can felt spirited; this is my world, I am the Sovereign of this world.

"You can feel this world through me," Xiao Tian looked at Mu Can with a complex expression. Unless there were unexpected events, Xiao Tian would have to follow Mu Can from now on, assisting him in managing this world.

This was the destiny of an Interface Seed and the duty within an interface.

Upon hearing Xiao Tian, Mu Can sensed the entire world.

The breeze brushed across the hills, the brook babbled merrily; besides the absence of life, this world was so serene.
