Chapter 456: Chapter 469: Return to the Immortal Ancient City

Mu Can did not know how many times he had fallen at his own hands.

But every time, Mu Can was able to identify his shortcomings during the battle.

This avatar was like a machine that never made mistakes, using Spiritual Power as sparingly as the stingiest merchant, employing every bit of it with precision.

"Too strong, I refuse to believe I can’t beat him." Mu Can once again awoke from unconsciousness.

"It’s okay, take your time." Wang Cai had already prepared a small stool for himself, and was now sitting there grandly, munching on Spirit Fruits produced in the New World, happily watching Mu Can getting beaten up inside.

"Your opponent has the combat experience of the All Things Realm; this Duel Arena allows you to challenge the peak version of yourself." Wang Cai explained.

Mu Can had already learned the function of the Reincarnation Pearl Fifth Layer from his own battles.

It was a place designed specifically to train his combat consciousness, and it just so happened that he had recently made a breakthrough. Although his Spiritual Power and accumulation were sufficient, combat consciousness was his biggest weakness.

However, after repeatedly losing to an avatar of equal strength, Mu Can’s combat experience was advancing tremendously.

With each defeat, Mu Can would analyze the gaps between him and his opponent, and he was gradually closing these gaps with deliberate efforts.

"Hoo, exhilarating." When the avatar lying before him directly transformed into a stream of Spiritual Power and entered his body, Mu Can felt his strength increase slightly.

"Do you want to experience a cross-level battle?" Seeing that Mu Can finally achieved his first victory since coming here, Wang Cai asked.

Having an unstable foundation is a great taboo for a Cultivator, so every Cultivator would choose to build up a solid base before striking. People like Mu Can, whose strength increased meteorically, could be counted on one hand in the Three Realms.

"Is there a chance for a cross-level battle?" Mu Can thought about it for a moment and decided to try.

After the Void Level, there were no specific levels in the Three Realms, but in the Supreme Interface, the level after Void Level is the Spiritual King Realm.

"Challenge the Spiritual King Realm." Mu Can nodded and appeared directly in the Duel Arena, able to simply manipulate the dueling ground.

Moments later, Mu Can lay on the ground, not wanting to move at all.

"Too strong, battling across realms is indeed difficult," Mu Can remarked.

"Does this Duel Arena have other uses?" While battle allowed him to identify his shortcomings and continually perfect his combat experience,

From Mu Can’s perspective, the dozens of battles just now gave him a new understanding of his own strength.

After his avatar launched an attack, Mu Can would often feel that the Spiritual Power could still be used in such a way.

He even felt refreshed by abilities he hadn’t realized he possessed, wielded by the avatar.

"Of course, there are other uses. Do you really think the functions of the Reincarnation Pearl are so limited?" A mysterious smile appeared on Wang Cai’s face.

It was hard to imagine such a human-like expression on a dog’s face.

But Mu Can was already used to Wang Cai’s appearance. Apart from looking like a dog, the rest of him was almost indistinguishable from a person.

"What other functions are there?" Energized by this, Mu Can realized that with proper use, this layer of the Reincarnation Pearl space was an overwhelmingly powerful weapon.

"Naturally, this space can replicate any enemy you’ve encountered." Wang Cai said proudly.

What did this imply? It meant that as long as Mu Can had seen someone, he could replicate a peak-strength version of that person in this space, and continuously defeat them through battle.

Imagine, given some preparation time, Mu Can could defeat any enemy.

"Such an effect? Do I need to do anything?" Mu Can was also pleasantly surprised; this layer of space, if well utilized, was simply an unbeatable weapon.

"You need to use the power of the Reincarnation Pearl to detect the opponent, and the higher their strength, the more Spiritual Power is required to create a Spiritual Power Avatar." Wang Cai explained.

Since Mu Can’s own small world had slowly taken shape, he rarely worried about his Spiritual Power.

The Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer small world continuously supplied abundant Spiritual Power and even Life Spiritual Power to the Reincarnation Pearl and himself.

"This is amazing," Mu Can thought, with a plan forming in his mind.

"Let’s go, it’s time to leave, I wonder what it’s like outside."

Having been in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm for nearly a month, Mu Can missed his friends outside, as well as people like Mu Zi’ang and the Sword Venerate.

After reappearing in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, Mu Can took the same path he had come by and left the place.

Previously, nothing had seemed amiss during his battles, but now Mu Can’s desire to return was like an arrow speeding home.

"Hoo, finally back." Mu Can appeared directly in the Immortal Ancient City, but at this moment, the city was plunged into chaos.

People running and calling out, the smog of battle made Mu Can think he had arrived in a city undergoing war.

"What’s going on?" Mu Can randomly grabbed a person, wanting to understand what was happening.

How could it be that just a month away from Immortal Ancient City, such changes had occurred?

"The Demon Clan is attacking, which academy are you from? Go and support them." The man Mu Can grabbed took a glance at him and hurriedly explained.

"The Demon Clan attacking? Can they break through the Immortal Ancient Array?" Mu Can was somewhat incredulous; without the intervention of Void Level beings, the Great Formation of the Immortal Ancient Academy should be sufficient to hold off all the Demon Lords.

"The Immortal and Demon Worlds have joined forces. This is the third day of the attack. You couldn’t have come from the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, could you? How could you know nothing?"

After asking around, Mu Can finally understood; right after the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm opened, the Immortal and Demon Worlds received news that the appearance of Void Level beings would emerge in the Mortal World; they had to unite and forcefully attack the Immortal Ancient City.

At the city’s forefront, troops from both the Immortal and Demon Worlds stood distinctly separate, and atop the city walls, Mu Can saw many familiar faces.

Ge Lao, Xuanyuan Mingkong, Sword Venerate, and the several people Mu Can rescued from Anxi Demon Venerable back in the day.

Even Mu Zi’ang and the mad old man were on the city walls, and beyond them, Mu Can noticed other Martial Saints that he hadn’t seen before, confronting the enemy.
