Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 22 Mu Family Secret Land

Mu Can indeed had a very important matter to attend to, which was also his biggest curiosity over the past three months.

The recent events had been so tumultuous, and today's battle had been grand enough to shock the entire Pingyun City, yet one person had not shown up.

The Mu Family's elder ancestor.

As the highest-ranked and the actual head of the Mu Family, the elder ancestor had entered a closed-door cultivation even before Mu Can's return.

He was striving to make a breakthrough during his remaining lifetime.

As a Martial King Realm cultivator at the peak, if he made a breakthrough, he could potentially double his lifespan.

Therefore, whether the Mu Family's elder ancestor was dead or alive was of the greatest curiosity to many who came today.

If a family did not have a cultivator at the Martial King Realm or Dao King Realm to lead, it would likely be quickly divided up by other families.

Mu Can was curious whether the Mu Family's elder ancestor knew about the recent events; and if he did, what his mindset might be.

And if he didn't know, what state he might be in—alive or dead.

Frankly speaking, Mu Can still harbored some feelings for the Mu Family.

Xuanyuan Mingkong walked out of the Mu Family with his hands behind his back, intending to wander around Pingyun City.

In stillness breeds motion; if it wasn't for Mu Can, Vice-Principal Xuanyuan likely would never step out of the Immortal Ancient Academy in his lifetime.

Just as Xuanyuan Mingkong stepped out of the Mu Family's gate, Mu Can immediately called out in his mind.

"Sister Yun, can you hear me talking?"

"Mhm, that's a terrifying old man," Mu Can had just finished asking when he heard Purple Cloud's words.

"What's wrong? Sister Yun, that's my master," Mu Can asked curiously.

Purple Cloud had turned around and hid in the Reincarnation Pearl as soon as Xuanyuan Mingkong appeared, and had not dared to contact Mu Can again.

"Your master is no ordinary person. I really don't know why he's had the capability to ascend to the Immortal World for so long but has remained in the Human World indefinitely. Such a person, even in the Immortal World, would be considered a master. I sensed him just now and withdrew back into the Reincarnation Pearl; if he discovered me, my current remnant soul wouldn't stand a chance against him."

Purple Cloud sighed in response to Mu Can's questions.

Hearing Purple Cloud's words, Mu Can's jaw almost dropped. Having been with his master for so many years, he truly hadn't known that his master possessed such incredible strength.

"Is my master really that terrifying? He always seems so cheerful and noncompetitive with others. It really doesn't seem apparent."

If Mu Can could see Purple Cloud's expression, he would find her looking at him as if he were an idiot.

"You little brat know nothing; such experts, if they desire to conceal themselves, wouldn't be detectable even by those who've just ascended to the Immortal World. Only after I was known as Supreme did I learn some secrets of the Human World; the Immortal World doesn't dare overly press the Human World precisely because it fears these hidden supreme experts."

Purple Cloud's words completely overturned Mu Can's understanding, as he had thought that anyone who could ascend to the Immortal World was a top-tier expert. Now he heard that even those in the Immortal World feared the Human World.

"You're saying that people of the Immortal World actually fear the Human World? Sister Yun, how is that possible?" Mu Can appeared incredulous.

"When your cultivation improves, you'll naturally come in contact with some secrets. Knowing too much too soon isn't good for you."

With that said, Purple Cloud ignored Mu Can, no matter how curiously he kept asking, and never answered any more questions about this matter.

"Alright, you win." After getting nowhere with his inquiries, Mu Can gave up trying to pry.

Whether it was reaching the peak in the Human World or ascending to the Immortal World, both were too far away for Mu Can.

"By the way, Sister Yun, is there really no issue with the Demon Heart Seal on my neck?"

Mu Can suddenly remembered the ticking time bomb on his neck and hurriedly asked.

"You won't die from it; if you can't even endure this bit of pain, how are you supposed to control the Reincarnation Pearl?"

Purple Cloud said lightly, not taking the Demon Heart Seal seriously at all.

"Oh, that's good." Assured by Purple Cloud, Mu Can finally felt relieved.

If there was anyone Mu Can knew who was most familiar with the Demon World, it would be Purple Cloud.

"Don't worry, if handled properly, this Demon Heart Seal can actually be beneficial. It contains a portion of the purest Soul Power from a Demon General," continued Purple Cloud.

Then, regardless of what Mu Can said afterwards, Purple Cloud stopped responding, as if busy with something within the Reincarnation Pearl.

After thinking for a while, Mu Can said to the two hefty men, "You guys help out here first, I need to step out for a bit."

Mu Can left the grand courtyard of Mu Family in Pingyun City and soared towards the family residence.

There, he intended to unravel a mystery that had always puzzled him.

Whether the old ancestor of the Mu Family was still alive or not.

At this moment, Mu Can's feelings were mixed; on one hand, the Mu Family's old ancestor had once provided Mu Can with the best care and resources. Even Mu Can's opportunity to study at the Immortal Ancient Academy was a result of the old ancestor's efforts.

Otherwise, even with Mu Can's exceptional talent, he might not have had the chance to enter the Immortal Ancient Academy.

The Immortal Ancient Academy was indeed considered the ultimate place of learning in the hearts of Cultivators.

However, when Mu Can lost his cultivation and returned to the Mu Family, the old ancestor's attitude made Mu Can uncertain.

Especially after hearing Mu Zi's words concerning the heavenly secrets.

Mu Can was even more unsure about the old ancestor's stance.

Additionally, regardless of the circumstances, Mu Zi's indirect death at his own hands meant that not explaining to the Mu Family's old ancestor was unreasonable both emotionally and logically.

Thus, as soon as the matters concluded, Mu Can decided to return to the family to see the old ancestor.

He sped up to the utmost limit, his movement technique in the Breeze Realm surpassing other techniques in speed.

Stopping in his tracks, Mu Can arrived at the most important place of the Mu Family.

The Mu Family's forbidden ground, which Mu Zi used to lure members of the Mu Family to attack him.

This place not only served to Wash Marrow and Remove Hair for the younger generation of the Mu Family but was also a Holy Land for Cultivation.

The Mu Family's old ancestor was currently in deep cultivation here.

Looking up at the cave in front of him, a massive stone door was firmly closed.

Two gigantic stone lions sat squatting, guarding either side of the door.

The last time Mu Can was here was before he left for the Immortal Ancient Academy, when he was allowed to cultivate in the family's Secret Land.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Can pulled out a small knife from his pocket.

Stretching out his hand, the knife slid across his finger, creating a wound from which bright red blood emerged.

He gently pressed his finger against the massive head of one of the stone lions.

The eyes of the stone lion suddenly opened, staring fixedly at Mu Can as a beam of light emitted from its eyes, enveloping him.

Seconds later, with a rumbling sound, the massive stone door slowly moved to both sides, revealing the passage inside.

The Mu Family's Secret Land had no guards, and the reason was simple: anyone without the direct lineage blood of the Mu Family, if not verified by the light of the lion's eyes, would activate the two stone lions at the door.

Each lion had the power to withstand attacks from anyone below the Martial King Realm. Even if someone could shatter the two lions, the two massive stone doors made of the most durable Heavenly Rhythm Cold Iron were nearly impregnable even to a Martial King Realm expert.

The stone door opened, and Mu Can strode into it.

Is the Mu Family's old ancestor still alive?
