Chapter 201 - 203: The Third Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl

Chapter 201: Chapter 203: The Third Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl

Nobody knew what Mu Can had just experienced. If there was a treasure in the Mortal World that could allow one to comprehend Sword Dao so swiftly, it had to be the Reincarnation Pearl.

Even Mu Can had very limited knowledge about the Reincarnation Pearl. Just now, he had communicated with the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Pearl, a little dog that loved to bite people. In a brief exchange, the Artifact Spirit agreed to help Mu Can unlock the Third Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl.

If the First Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl is the Soul Power Space, containing the remnant soul of Purple Cloud that he had saved by chance, and the Second Layer is a small plane saved by the Thief of Heavenly Dao, then the Third Layer is a grand gift prepared by the Thief of Heavenly Dao for his disciples.

"Time-Space City."

In just a fleeting moment, Mu Can’s mind entered the Third Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl, which was a vast library storing tens of thousands of books.

"Wang, the Third Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl can only be opened by those deemed worthy, containing a large collection of cultivation techniques amassed by the master, and even many insights from experts. But the most important thing here is Time-Space City."

"Time-Space City?" Just seeing these cultivation techniques and insights that filled the sky, Mu Can was already overjoyed, unable to stop smiling. This was, after all, the collection of the Thief of Heavenly Dao; how could ordinary secrets capture his discerning eye. That the Artifact Spirit now claimed that Time-Space City was most significant here indicated its importance above all these secret manuals.

"Wang, you country bumpkin, Wang, I don’t know why the master chose you, this fool. Time-Space City, as the name suggests, is a place where one can comprehend regardless of the time and location, and the flow of time inside differs from that outside." Mu Can could feel the deep disdain the Artifact Spirit held for him.

This dog was not only fierce in its biting but also spared no face when speaking. Mu Can had grown accustomed to this; even a high-level master like Heavenly Venerable was bitten relentlessly.

"Can I use it now?" An idea immediately formed in Mu Can’s mind. He had originally planned to directly defeat Yao Wenbing, but he had now changed his mind, wanting to defeat him in the area he was most skilled in.

"Wang, Time-Space City can be accessed once a month by projecting your Divine Sense into the Reincarnation Pearl. However, you must be careful not to immerse yourself in comprehension for too long."

This was also for Mu Can, whom the Artifact Spirit regarded as one of their own people. Even if it disliked Mu Can, he was still a disciple of the old master. Otherwise, even in the Supreme Interface, how many Great Powers had not been chased and bitten by this dog? Every time the Thief of Heavenly Dao committed a heist, he would bring along this dog, with the Thief responsible for tricking people and this earthy dog for biting them, making them infamous in the Supreme Interface.

If not for the dog reaching its lifespan limit, forcing the Thief of Heavenly Dao to preserve its Spiritual Sense as the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Pearl, the Supreme Interface would have enjoyed much peace thereafter.

"Good, I will now go and comprehend Sword Dao. Dog Bro, help me find all the books on Sword Dao insights." No sooner said than done, even on a combat stage, Mu Can would use his comprehension of Sword Dao to defeat Yao Wenbing rightfully.

"Wang, you little brat, who are you calling Dog Bro? My name is Wang Cai, don’t call me Dog Bro."

Mu Can’s face was streaked with black lines; the name Wang Cai was typical for an earthy dog and not as nice as Dog Bro.

"Fine, Wang Cai, help me find those books on Sword Dao insights. Today, I’m going to enter Time-Space City to comprehend Sword Dao."

Mu Can no longer provoked Wang Cai; he knew that being able to help open the Third Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl was already a huge favor. If he tried to tease Wang Cai with words, this vengeful dog might just close the Third Layer to get back at him.

"Woof, get in there!" Mu Can only felt a kick on his buttocks, and in an instant, he was flying, landing inside a room.

The next moment, hundreds of books also flew in, burying him underneath.

"This month’s quota is enough for you to comprehend a hundred years inside; in the future, you will need to provide Life Energy each month to gain entry."

Wang Cai’s smug voice entered the room, and Mu Can had long known this dog’s stinginess; even when defeating a Demon Lord, it would absorb all the Life Energy from the Demon Lord’s body and would ask for benefits from him, which was not surprising.

"Alas, it looks like I will need to lead a frugal life from now on." Such a great place, Mu Can couldn’t bear to give it up, the monthly quota allowing him to comprehend a hundred years each time, such a grand opportunity. Only now did Mu Can truly understand the extraordinary feature of the Reincarnation Pearl.

You should know, even in the Mortal World or the Immortal World, cultivators who could manipulate time, if they existed, couldn’t achieve this.

A hundred years, Mu Can himself was only in his twenties now; this century was enough for him to comprehend the Sword Dao.

Thus, Mu Can’s consciousness immersed itself in the Sword Dao secret manuals collected by Thief of Heavenly Dao, a renown figure even among the elites of the High Interface. The sword techniques he deemed worthy of collecting surely indicated their level.

, , ..., hundreds of books that even Immortal Venerables would fight over in the Mortal World, now lay before Mu Can’s eyes.

A hundred years passed in a flash. During this century, Mu Can not only didn’t feel a hint of boredom, but he truly started walking the path of Sword Dao, enthusiastically replicating sword moves with his fingers, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"So this is what it’s like, swordsman; upright and straight, sharp on both sides, a complete embodiment of the King’s Weapon." Mu Can closed the last book, quietly pondering in his mind.

In this century, from someone who never touched a sword to growing into a great master of Sword Dao, Mu Can exerted great effort; even though it was only in a state of consciousness, he still felt weariness. Although appearing tired, his eyes sparkled brighter as he read, comprehended, contemplated, and experimented, etching his understanding of Sword Dao deep into his consciousness, gradually forming his own sword technique.

"King’s Sword." It was more accurate to say it was Sword Intent rather than just a sword move.

"Sword Holder, adhere to one’s true heart, keep goodness, follow the righteous path, uphold the King’s Way, then can one wield the sword."

Mu Can, who had closed his eyes in enlightenment of the Sword Dao, suddenly opened them, and astonishingly, two ancient Longswords appeared in his eyes.

"Time’s up." Wang Cai’s voice rang out, and Mu Can felt his consciousness instantly being kicked out of the Reincarnation Pearl.

Slowly opening his eyes, a black Longsword was thrusting towards him. If previously, aside from forcefully resisting, Mu Can had no other way, but now his Sword Dao cultivation was among the top in the Three Realms. He saw through Yao Wenbing’s sword technique at a glance, and effortlessly countered the move without even moving.
