Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 273 - 274: Spiritual Energy Beyond the Mortal World

Mu Can sensed everything in the New World.

This is my world, my own interface, and in the days to come, life will appear here, inhabited by humans, all of whom will be my subjects.

Since the Interface Seed acknowledged him as its master, boundless pride surged within Mu Can’s heart as he sensed the mysterious connection between himself and the world before him, slowly closing his eyes.

"You can try to manipulate the interface’s power, there will be surprises." Seeing Mu Can’s satisfied expression, Xiao Tian also smiled.

Upon hearing this, Mu Can attempted to communicate with the entire heaven and earth, feeling an endless stream of power surge into his body which made him comfortably hum; he realized that his recently achieved level of cultivation was gradually improving under the nourishment of this power.

"What’s happening?" Mu Can asked.

"Do you think that having the Interface Seed acknowledge you as its master is just about owning a world? As the master of this interface, all the power contained within the Boundary Stones will become the source of your strength. Otherwise, why do you think the existing interfaces still exist? It’s because their masters have reached a certain level of power. The state of decay in the Mortal World where you were before is definitely because there’s an issue with its world’s master," Xiao Tian explained.

"It seems I need to gather Life Energy, not only to enhance my own power but also to expedite the emergence of life in this world," Mu Can nodded, seeing a direction for his future efforts.

"Of course, only with sufficient Life Energy can this world slowly operate and evolve. Just having sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers is far from enough. When life emerges, there will be a great surprise waiting for you," Xiao Tian added mysteriously, refusing to answer further questions from Mu Can no matter how he inquired.

Frustrated, Mu Can could only leave the Reincarnation Pearl with Wang Cai.

"Hey, you better work hard. When this world becomes suitable for human life, you can bring all your friends here. The Spiritual Energy levels here are much higher than outside, making cultivation here much more efficient," Xiao Tian hurriedly spoke as he saw Mu Can wanting to leave.

In this world, for each day life does not appear, Xiao Tian spends one more day in loneliness, thus he also hoped for Mu Can to provide a pleasant surprise to quicken the world’s evolution.

As Mu Can was leaving the Fourth Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl, he paused upon hearing Xiao Tian’s words, momentarily lost in thought.

"Wang Cai, how do you think the Spiritual Energy here compares to the Mortal World?" Mu Can cautiously asked.

He had a thought—if his guess was true, then there might be hope for the Mortal World.

"Of course, what do you think a Silver Level World Seed is? Although it cannot compare to the High Interface, it’s leagues above the Mortal World," Wang Cai replied with a disdainful look.

This dog, whenever Mu Can asked him a question, would always put on such an expression, then act all-knowing and lecture Mu Can, enjoying the moment as if teaching, a bad habit he somehow picked up. It always annoyed Mu Can immensely, yet he was helpless.

However, this time was different. Mu Can didn’t retort but instead wandered off in thought.

"Woof! Are you okay, lad? It’s just gaining an interface, what’s with that look?" Wang Cai looked disdainfully at Mu Can, thinking he was still basking in the joy of gaining the New World.

"What do you know? If I bring my mentors into this place, might they break through to the Void Level, and if so, wouldn’t that solve the crisis in the Mortal World?"

Mu Can spoke excitedly; this was the first thought that struck him after hearing Xiao Tian’s words.

The reason why the Three Realms currently hesitate to initiate conflict is that none of the three factions have a Void Level master. This forms a delicate balance, and should any side break this balance, the ultimate battle would certainly start right away.

"Woof! You’re really a genius," Wang Cai admitted, hearing Xiao Tian’s words but never thinking in that direction.

After a moment’s thought, Wang Cai’s expression turned grim.

"It’s not possible. We can’t let them know about the Reincarnation Pearl; it’s too dangerous," Wang Cai outright denied Mu Can’s idea.

The Reincarnation Pearl was too important; even Mu Zi’Ang didn’t know about the Reincarnation Pearl, let alone anyone else.

"Isn’t there a way to let them harness the New World’s Spiritual Energy without exposing the Reincarnation Pearl?" Mu Can asked.

"No way, you had a reasonable explanation the last time you took out Monkey Wine, but now if you take out Spiritual Energy for their breakthrough, how would you explain it? Someone would definitely suspect you," Wang Cai firmly rejected, indicating that not a single hint about the Reincarnation Pearl should be risked.

Wang Cai was doing this for Mu Can’s good. The Reincarnation Pearl was not only an item that could cause upheaval across the Three Realms, it was a treasure coveted even by the powerful beings in the Supreme Interface of the All Things Realm.

Wang Cai wasn’t worried about someone in the Three Realms taking action against Mu Can; he was worried about the completions that could come if news reached the Supreme Interface, where many might not be able to resist, even potentially forcing their way into the Lower Realm.

"Is there no other way?" Mu Can still felt reluctant, wishing from his heart for Xuanyuan Mingkong, Sword Venerate, and others to break through to the Void Level, which would solidify the Mortal World’s chances of victory.

"There’s only one way," Wang Cai mused, wagging his tail a little before speaking.

"Come on, say it, don’t beat around the bush like Xiao Tian," Mu Can urged.

"Unless you break through to the Void Level first, then you can directly extract the Spiritual Energy from the New World to help them break through. But you should know, based on the amount of Spiritual Energy currently in the New World, it’s not enough for several people to break through; this would indeed delay the development process of your New World."

Wang Cai explained; he knew that if Mu Can broke through to the Void Level, the fifth layer of the Reincarnation Pearl would open up for him.

The fifth layer is the last of the easily accessible layers.

Afterward, not only would the speed of gaining strength slow down, but even the attempt to open the Reincarnation Pearl would become more difficult.

"We can only go with this for now," Mu Can was not willing to give up on letting Xuanyuan Mingkong and others breakthrough.
