Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 313 - 314 Tongshen Mountain Opens

The green-haired giant hand’s escape constantly weighed on Mu Can’s mind like a chronic illness. Mu Can was well aware that the matter was far from over. After all, it was merely a palm sealed for countless years, yet it possessed the strength to contend with him.

If one day, the green-hair giant palm managed to gather all its parts and regain its strength, it would be a disaster for everyone in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. No one within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm would be able to compete against such a monster.

"Just who sealed this hand here?" Mu Can stepped into the tomb chamber.

When the hand broke free, most of the burial chamber had already collapsed. Now entering the tomb chamber, Mu Can saw only devastation; the Divine Beast Cauldrons that used to occupy the four corners had vanished without a trace, not to mention the unlucky fellows with big noses.

"Woof! There might be a massive secret hidden here," Wang Cai observed the surroundings of the burial chamber, speaking solemnly.

"I might have seen it wrong before. This isn’t an ordinary Hidden Gold Tomb. I wonder which expert transformed the original appearance of the Hidden Gold Tomb to seal this giant hand."

For Wang Cai, seeing the Hidden Gold Tomb used in such a way was an eye-opener. Originally a common Hidden Gold Tomb, it had been transformed into a perfect sealing Array. Had it not been for the passage of such a long time, the Array weakening and revealing the great tomb, who knows how many more years it would take for the giant hand to reappear in the world.

"This giant hand really isn’t simple. Sealed for an eternity, yet its strength remains formidable," concluded Wang Cai.

The owner of this hand certainly wasn’t from the Mortal World, and their strength might not have been much inferior to the ruler of the Three Realms. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been sealed here in such a manner — dismembered, then sealed. Even after endless ages, it still hasn’t perished, and just with a single hand, it managed to escape from Mu Can.

"Be extra careful. I’ve got a bad feeling, like we’ve let loose something terrible," Mu Can’s expression was grave as the bizarre giant hand had exceeded his expectations.

Due to the appearance of the green-haired giant hand, a treasure-hunt frenzy for the God Demon Hand swept through the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. Everyone hoped to acquire the God Demon Hand and become unparalleled under the Void Level. Even with limitations on its uses, being able to wipe out ten Martial Saints with a wave of the hand wasn’t simply about strength anymore; it was absolute deterrence.

But the green-haired giant hand seemed to have disappeared just like that, and before long, the fervor slowly dissipated. However, for Mu Can, it lingered in his mind like a stubborn illness, keeping a close watch on any information about the green-haired giant hand within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

Just as the commotion around the God Demon Hand was dying down, another incident reignited the hearts of all the Cultivators within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

A small and unremarkable hill was activated for some reason, transforming into a towering Divine Mountain radiating brilliant light.

Tongshen Mountain — three golden illuminated characters hung in the sky.

News of Tongshen Mountain’s opening spread through the entire Immortal Ancient Secret Realm like a hurricane, with Cultivators flooding to this once insignificant place.

"It’s actually Tongshen Mountain." A Cultivator exclaimed with a look of pleasant surprise. If Mu Can were here, he would recognize him as Dongfeng Shuo, the Loose Cultivator who had entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm with him.

This mysterious Cultivator actually knew of the existence of Tongshen Mountain. If Mu Can found out, he would realize that Dongfeng Shuo truly wasn’t a normal Loose Cultivator as he had imagined.

"Tongshen Mountain?" A young Cultivator in imperial robes, handsome and dashing enough to make girls scream, not only good-looking but also exuding a formidable aura — an Intermediate Martial Saint. This man was known to Mu Can; he was Donghuang, the very man Mu Can longed to meet.

The same scene occurred in numerous places within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. Hearing about the emergence of such a Divine Mountain, everyone decided to make their way there, hoping for an opportunity.

Not only were the Cultivators from the Mortal World moving out, but also those from the celestial and demonic realms who had infiltrated were heading towards Tongshen Mountain.

"Tongshen Mountain has actually opened," Mu Can knew of Tongshen Mountain, but he hadn’t expected his luck to be so good as to encounter its opening.

Tongshen Mountain, an important place within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, second only to the central region in significance.

This was the only place in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm where one could acquire Cultivation Techniques, the sole inheritance site for Cultivation Techniques in the realm.

Of course, this information had been imparted to Mu Can by Xuanyuan Mingkong before he entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

Tongshen Mountain was not a fixed location. According to records, the location and timing of every opening of Tongshen Mountain were uncertain, but each time it opened, it would provide opportunities that could make their way into the Mortal World, even prop up a whole clan.

Many Cultivation Techniques passed down within the Immortal Ancient Academy originated from the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, and even some of the academy’s core techniques were acquired from there.

Mu Can gave Wang Cai a brief introduction to Tongshen Mountain; Wang Cai immediately reverted to his treasure-obsessed demeanor, hurriedly leading his followers from the Wangcai Divine Sect to quicken their pace towards Tongshen Mountain.

"Don’t rush. Three days will pass before Tongshen Mountain truly opens; there’s still time."

Mu Can was quite relaxed. Whether you enter early or late, it makes no difference. The matter of chance is mysterious and doesn’t change with time.

A saying in the Mortal World goes, when opportunity comes, it cannot be stopped; when it doesn’t belong to you, even if you fight hard to seize it, it will be in vain.

It’s like the Reincarnation Pearl on Mu Can; even if someone of the Void Level obtained it, the Reincarnation Pearl wouldn’t readily acknowledge a master.

Good birds choose trees to nest in; a spiritual treasure will also choose its owner.

On Mu Can’s journey to Tongshen Mountain, something happened that delighted everyone.

Wang Cai discovered a kind of fruit in a forest, a fruit that could enhance one’s strength.

This was a moderate opportunity that allowed every member of the Wangcai Divine Sect to slightly improve their strength. Don’t underestimate this slight improvement; now, the Wangcai Divine Sect could be said to move as one, and only the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm could offer such a collective enhancement in the Mortal World.

"Wang Cai the Great Immortal, your Mana is boundless." The acclaim for Wang Cai within the Wangcai Divine Sect soared even higher because, compared to elusive promises, the real improvement in strength was tangible.
