Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 344 - 345: Spiritual Energy Vortex

Just as Mu Can was frantically sprinting in the Wood Space, Wang Cai successfully obtained his first Secret Manual. This was his first success after five attempts, and the moment he got the manual, the dog actually teared up with emotion. Honestly, if it weren’t for the Reincarnation Compass in Wang Cai’s hands aiding him immensely, he probably wouldn’t have lasted till now.

Time and time again, efforts led to disappointment, or even desperation, which could break even the most resilient minds. freewebnoveℓ.com

"Congratulations to number thirty-eight on successfully obtaining the Ultimate Secret Manual ’Falling Moon Unpredictable Wind’."

A hint of joy appeared on Mu Can’s face upon hearing this; it seemed Wang Cai had also reaped his rewards. He believed that with Wang Cai’s insight, he would definitely be able to comprehend a powerful Cultivation Technique.

"Damn, someone else has successfully obtained an Ultimate Secret Manual. Is it really not that difficult to acquire?"

Mu Can had obtained one, and so had Wang Cai, which directly stimulated the others left behind. Immediately, someone gave up the Secret Manual they were studying and stood up to walk towards that last bookshelf, but they were bounced back by a massive force after just a few steps, unable to make any further progress.

Of course, there were some who truly could burst forth with great perseverance until the very end, but a large number of people failed to choose a Secret Manual that suited them well and, unfortunately, were bounced back to the starting point, losing the courage to try again since not everyone could withstand such immense pressure.

"Congratulations to number twenty-seven on successfully obtaining the Ultimate Secret Manual ’Refining Device Earth Spirit Record’."

Naturally, some lucky ones managed to secure an Ultimate Secret Manual.

Three consecutive announcements rang out, and after Mu Can obtained the second Ultimate Secret Manual and Wang Cai his first, three more people secured Ultimate Secret Manuals.

"One of these three people must be Donghuang; you would definitely not choose an ordinary manual," the mysterious voice rang in Mu Can’s ears inside the Wood Space, and Mu Can knew Donghuang had also arrived at Tongshen Mountain and definitely one of those three manuals must have been obtained by him.

"This time, let me defeat you squarely and fairly." Before entering the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, Xuanyuan Mingkong had specifically advised him not to kill Donghuang here, but if Donghuang truly asked for trouble, Mu Can would not mind letting him know what real strength was.

How will their fourth confrontation eventually end?

Mu Can walked toward the direction of the forest with a determined gaze, through this bizarre ecological environment—vast grasslands connected to dense forests, as far as the eye could see, all vibrant green and brimming with life.

However, Mu Can did not find any trace of life here.

"Could these plants be transformed from Life Spiritual Power?"

Mu Can speculated in his mind, seeing the life-rich Wood Space, he even directly thought of the green-haired giant hand that was sealed within the Hidden Gold Tomb.

The hair plucked from the sealed giant hand transformed into a Tree of Life and is now stored within the fourth layer of the Reincarnation Pearl.

Mu Can sprinted into the forest.

These towering trees were of a species Mu Can had never seen before; even the thick trunks were green, and the lush canopy bore green fruits, partly hidden among the trees.

"What exactly is going on here?" Mu Can found it hard to grasp the pulse of this space, making it impossible to enter a state of Enlightenment, let alone comprehend a new Cultivation Technique.

While Mu Can was deep in thought, the dense forest slowly began to change.

First, the surrounding grassland started to wither, and the withering sped up; in the blink of an eye, most of the prairie had turned yellowish-brown. It felt as if the prairie had contracted some mad skin disease, whipping up a yellow storm across the field.

The withering spread to the edge of the forest, by which time the entire grassland had lost its original appearance, turning into a dry, yellow grassland as if winter had arrived, seeming ready to ignite with just a spark.

Mu Can observed the changes on the prairie contemplatively.

Weeds, trees, Life Spiritual Power, the withering of weeds—what connections lay between them?

Mu Can felt as though he was on the verge of grasping something, a flash of insight in his mind. Although he hadn’t figured it out, he knew he was close to the answer.

Inspiration seemed imminent, about to emerge, but it felt stuck at this moment, and no matter how much Mu Can pondered, he couldn’t find the answer he sought.

Just then, a breeze blew through, rustling the entire forest. Mu Can, staring blankly at the boundless forest, noticed strands of green Spiritual Energy emerging from the trunks of trees, converging together. He couldn’t tell how vast this space was, or how many trees it contained, but at this moment, a tremendous storm of green Spiritual Energy surged from every tree, merging into a giant tempest.

This was a storm formed by the gathering of Life Spiritual Energy. The Life Spiritual Energy in the Wood Space was so dense it almost seemed to liquefy. Mu Can felt enveloped in a warm atmosphere, with every pore on his body greedily inhaling the energy.

"What exactly are you trying to tell me?" Mu Can muttered to himself, gazing at the Spiritual Energy storm brewing overhead.

A vast vortex appeared in the sky, slowly rotating, containing discernible Life Spiritual Energy. Mu Can even thought that if all this Life Spiritual Energy were transferred into the New World within the fourth layer of his Reincarnation Pearl, perhaps life would spontaneously arise there.

The vortex slowly spun, emitting a faint oppressive force. On the now-withered prairie below, streams of Spiritual Energy appeared, of a type Mu Can had never encountered, faintly grey, reminiscent of the frostbitten, withered weeds of winter.

Threads of grey Spiritual Energy also gathered above the prairie, forming another immense vortex that slowly spun, continuing to absorb the grey Spiritual Energy from the field.

Thus, within the mysterious Wood Space, two great vortexes, one green and one greyish-white, corresponded with each other, slowly rotating.

And the only person able to witness this scene was Mu Can himself.
