Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 444 - 457: Breaking into the Sky Tower

"If one were to say that outside the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm the scenery prospers, beautiful and tranquil, then once Mu Can steps into the sealed barrier area with Wang Cai, he is utterly stunned by the sight within."

"Is this still the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm?" Mu Can asked.

Before his eyes was a desolate desert scene, completely different from the scenery outside.

Dessicated bones were scattered throughout the desert, and a closer look would show that most of these bones were not human. From the perspective of size comparison, the majority were about the size of green-haired Giants, mixed with numerous beast bones.

"This is a veritable hell on earth; this must have been the battlefield back then," Wang Cai remarked gravely, surveying the surroundings.

It was likely here that the battle against the extraterritorial demons took place, with the bones spread across the ground likely left by those demons.

Mu Can stepped forward, intending to tap the bones to test them.

"Don’t move." Wang Cai immediately stopped Mu Can.

"Hmm?"

"There’s a strange power within these bones; it’s best not to touch them. If you observe carefully, you’ll notice these bones are laid out almost systematically, forming a complete Big Formation, surrounding the tower in the middle," Wang Cai spoke with a grave expression, making eye contact with Mu Can.

Now, Wang Cai no longer underestimated the Cultivators of the Three Realms as he did before. For instance, the Arrays he encountered after entering the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm had far surpassed his own level of mastery. Both in terms of the types of Arrays and the ideas behind them, he was utterly outmatched.

"Oh." Mu Can didn’t understand, but he heeded Wang Cai’s advice and refrained from touching the enormous bones.

"Let’s go straight to the central tower; this place must be where the leader of the extraterritorial demons is sealed."

Previously, Brother Lin had mentioned that the leader of the extraterritorial demons was sealed here, in the center, and that demon continuously supplied energy to the entire Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

"This should be the place, let’s check near the tower."

Just as Mu Can and Wang Cai entered the core area of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, other powerful individuals able to enter also arrived.

"I must break through to the Void Level here," Donghuang declared upon entering the core area, not even glancing at the giant bone formation; his eyes were solely fixed on the Sky Tower in the middle.

"I must break through to the Void Level before Mu Can," Donghuang repeated to himself, evidently shaken by Mu Can’s prior performance.

"How could I be inferior to that waste, I must defeat him." With renewed conviction, Donghuang headed straight towards the distant tower.

...

Unhindered, Mu Can thus arrived at the base of the Sky Tower.

Upon entering, the huge tower seemed more like a Sky-reaching Pillar, its gigantic body adorned with countless patterns.

"This tower is extraordinary," Wang Cai remarked gravely, sizing up the tower slowly.

Mu Can could also tell that the tower was no ordinary structure.

Such a building, if not influenced by external forces and relying solely on the power of a Cultivator, would simply be impossible to construct.

Thus, another possibility arose.

"This tower was likely created by the ruler of the Three Realms manipulating the Origin of the realm," Mu Can speculated.

He himself possessed a small world, so he knew that if it were him controlling the world’s Origin to create such a tower, it wouldn’t be a difficult task.

"Indeed, such techniques on the outside would only be possessed by those of the All Things Realm," Wang Cai nodded. He didn’t believe the ruler of the Three Realms possessed the power of the All Things Realm; if that were the case, no extraterritorial demons would dare invade.

"Let’s go, into the tower." The part of the tower touching the ground had doors leading outward in four directions.

"If we go by the reports, we need to reach the top of this tower, and there are ninety-nine levels, it’s going to be exhausting." Mu Can sighed.

Talking about setting up an Inheritance Land, what’s the purpose of setting up so many stages, it takes too much time to clear.

Mu Can shook his head, discarding the impractical thoughts from his mind; under someone else’s roof, one must follow the rules set by the ruler of the Three Realms.

Together with Wang Cai, he stepped directly into the Sky Tower.

The scenery inside the Sky Tower contrasted starkly with the gloomy style outside; the spacious interior was brightly lit.

Each floor was connected by stair chains, and within this ground level, the entire ceiling hung numerous white spheres emitting soft light.

"Light Attribute Spiritual Power, this must be the handiwork of the ruler of the Three Realms, using such Spiritual Power for illumination, this idea is good," Mu Can was impressed.

From the ruler of the Three Realms, he could learn much. Being someone who also possessed a world, perhaps among the endless epochs and people who had entered here, only Mu Can could truly understand the thoughts of the ruler of the Three Realms.

"Hmm, I’ll make a note of it, to use later in my own world," thought Mu Can to himself.

Once his own world evolved into an independent realm, he planned to construct a massive palace within that world.

"Wang Cai, what are you doing, Wang Cai?" Mu Can spoke but received no response from Wang Cai; turning his head, he saw Wang Cai staring at the vast ceiling, seemingly entranced, lost in a daze.

Snap!

"Wang, why did you hit me?" Wang Cai felt that he was deeply fascinated by observing the Array when suddenly someone slapped him on the head.

"Darn, you startled me, I thought you were enchanted." With that shout from Wang Cai, Mu Can was also startled; what’s with this dog going crazy.

"These Arrays are really creative, just look at this Layer’s Array, it’s made into a circuit shape, completely forming a sealed circulatory system," Wang Cai explained to Mu Can.

Although Mu Can didn’t understand what Wang Cai was talking about, it sounded very impressive to him.

"Ah, you wouldn’t understand anyway, wait for me, I want to break this Layer’s Array to ascend to the next level," Wang Cai glanced at Mu Can and walked ahead, observing the massive Array.

"Darn, scorned by the dog again." Mu Can touched his nose, it seemed like he had been disdained by this dog countless times.

No help for it, the dog understands Arrays, that’s just how awesome it is.

As Wang Cai walked towards the center of the Array, the ground beneath his feet suddenly lit up.

Five figures appeared around Wang Cai, tightly surrounding him in the middle.

"What is this?" Mu Can examined those five figures; they were five knights riding War Beasts, but strangely, they were just five statues.

"Wang! What the heck." Wang Cai was startled too and instantly rushed back to Mu Can’s side; these suddenly appearing figures seemed completely lifeless.

"Did you trigger some Array?" Mu Can asked.

I knew it, it’s another fight on the way, can’t I just properly accept the inheritance without all this fighting?

Mu Can sighed inwardly, fighting endlessly, these endless battles were becoming somewhat tiresome to him.

While Mu Can was reflecting, the five statues slowly started moving, and after opening their eyes, a chill ran down Mu Can’s spine.

"These statues, they were also created by the lord of the Three Realms."

He felt a familiar sensation from these statues, similar to the Molten Rock Giants he had created before.

However, the difference was, Mu Can could feel, within the bodies of these statues, there was no soul present, but rather they were mechanical beings following certain commands.

Right, these knights must have been created by the lord of the Three Realms to test the Challengers.

Mu Can walked forward, no matter what, he decided to first clear these obstructive fellows.

Half a column of incense later, the five reanimated statue knights turned into pieces scattered on the ground.

"This is just the first layer, and it’s this intense?" Mu Can’s expression was solemn.

He won easily, but there were ninety-nine layers in total, and this was just the first.

The pieces on the ground slowly merged together, reforming into five statues, which then vanished with a flash from the surface.

Simultaneously, the nearby stairs suddenly lit up, it seemed that he could move to the next level because Mu Can had defeated the Gatekeeper.

"They can even be reused." Mu Can marveled, realizing that the lord of the Three Realms indeed had methods far superior to his; this also sparked a competitive spirit in Mu Can.

He planned to experiment properly, when he had time, in his own world, with these beings who had no thoughts and soul, knowing only to follow orders, as they could be the best members to form an army.

Imagine, when facing an enemy, Mu Can casually waving his hand, and groups of statue giants from the New World pouring out to crush the opponents; not to mention that these statues also had Undying Bodies, able to reform even if shattered to pieces.

"Come on, what are you grinning about?" Wang Cai looked at Mu Can smiling foolishly beside him, speechless. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Dreaming of getting married?"

"Oh... you figured out the Array? Let’s go," Mu Can responded as he came back to his senses.

...

"Finally, we have arrived." At the same time, the other people also reached the base of the Sky Tower.

"My path to being a strong cultivator starts here," Donghuang pushed the door and entered.

As Donghuang defeated the five statue knights, Mu Can had already reached the tenth floor.

It must be said, the tests set by the lord of the Three Realms gave Mu Can quite a challenge.

And on the tenth floor, Mu Can also met his first formidable opponent.

It was a knight riding a snow-white tiger.

Unlike the previous statues, this knight was a living being composed of flesh and Spiritual Power, but similarly, this knight also lacked a soul.
