Chapter 330 - 231: Poor Devil?
"Since that is the case, let’s compose our spirit and continue forward."
Mu Can thought for a bit and decided to keep going upward. However, in his heart, he silently recited the Daoist Scripture that Purple Cloud had taught him back then. It was of the same origin as the Reincarnation Life Spell that Purple Cloud had used to help Mu Can in the duel against Mu Zili, saving those Soul Bodies. However, its effect was far simpler, capable of soothing one’s state of mind, ensuring a ripple-free disposition.
Anything that Purple Cloud offered was at least of the Immortal Venerable Level. In the present, the Immortal Venerable seemed to be comparable to the Martial Saint level of the Mortal World. Thus, this kind of Magic Spell from the Lawbook had a significant effect on Mu Can. After calming his mind, no matter how monotonous the journey, Mu Can continued to walk upwards with a face as still as an ancient well.
Indeed, when the heart is tranquil, naturally, there are no troubles. Regardless of how desolate the outside world is, Mu Can no longer felt any tedium. Walking for an indeterminate time, the scene before him finally began to change.
Ahead was an unexpected crossroads, where two ascending stone stairways merged into one.
"What is this for?" Mu Can instantly became spirited. While the Calming Incantation from the Daoist Scripture could calm and concentrate the mind, such continuous travel made Mu Can feel so bored that he was nearly lulled to sleep. Thus, when the stone stairs suddenly changed, Mu Can promptly perked up.
Change signifies opportunity, and opportunity spells chance. From just the first test of greed he had faced, Mu Can had already received considerable benefits. If he could overcome a couple more, even if he was only at an intermediate martial god level, he could achieve the peak physical state of a Martial Saint. That would give him a huge advantage in future battles.
"Eh? The path ahead is blocked; it seems like I am supposed to wait for someone from another path?" Mu Can reached the fork and found that the path ahead was already cut off. He was not in a hurry and calmly waited, gazing at the other ascending stone stairway.
The surrounding environment was so quiet that there were no sounds at all, no chirping of insects or birds, no tinkling of water, not even the sound of the wind. All was silent, and the only thing one could hear was their heartbeat. One could even clearly hear the sound of blood flowing from the heart to the limbs and body.
