Chapter 327 - 228: The Secret of Thousands of Incarnations
"Hehe, don’t worry, the kid knows what he’s doing." Mu Can immediately showed a smile upon hearing the stone’s response to his query.
He had already noticed that this stone was extraordinary, simply because it greatly resembled the platform where he had just undergone his trial, except it lacked the two battling statues, virtually a miniature version of where he had just been tested.
Moreover, throughout this journey, there were no adornments on either side of the stone steps. Suddenly, a stone appeared, and it surely filled Mu Can’s mind with doubts.
"You really are unprincipled, seizing the highest level of rewards for yourself, and still treating this old man this way."
The surface of the stone slowly revealed a figure, half the size of a normal human, resembling an old man with white hair and beard, holding a Dragon Head Walking Stick. He was glaring at Mu Can in anger. Anyone threatened to be urinated on would probably display such an expression. Although he looked elderly, his voice was robust, quite like that of a middle-aged man.
"Old man, it’s your misunderstanding. I didn’t mean anything else by calling you out, nor did I truly intend to urinate on you; here, I apologize to you."
Mu Can restrained his smile, bowing sincerely in apology to the old man. He had always respected the elderly and loved the young, treating them kindly unless they were extremely unreasonable.
"Speak up, what big trouble have you created to drag this old man out here, boy? If you can’t give a satisfactory reason, don’t think about continuing upwards. However, there are some questions I will not answer." Seeing Mu Can’s respectful demeanor, the elder waved his hand, indicating that he would not pursue the matter further.
"Are you the Guardian of the first trial?" Mu Can asked respectfully since he was in need of the elder’s help. The information about Tongshen Mountain was scarce to begin with; almost everyone had parts of their memories erased after leaving the mountain, only remembering the Cultivation Techniques they attained while forgetting everything they experienced on the mountain.
