Chapter 337 - 338 A Difficult Choice
Mu Can had long sensed that Xu Liang was a man with secrets; occasionally, hints of hatred would seep through his eyes.
However, Mu Can did not pry further. The two had become teammates purely by chance and if Xu Liang chose not to disclose, Mu Can had no interest in fruitlessly inquiring about such matters.
Everyone has secrets, many of which are untouchable by others. For instance, the secrets Mu Can harbored could drive the entire Three Realms into frenzy. If it became known that he possessed the Reincarnation Pearl and Wang Cai, it was likely someone from the Supreme Interface would descend to hunt him down.
"Shall we split up?" Mu Can suggested after unravelling the secret of finding the Secret Manuals on the bookshelf, as he formulated his own plan.
In this place, with at least ten thousand Secret Manuals, it was an impossible task to sift through each one. Consequently, Mu Can was set on selecting only those Cultivation Techniques that were relatively high-grade.
Nevertheless, according to Mu Can’s thinking, it was certain he wouldn’t acquire the Cultivation Technique he desired in this place. Those that transcended the levels of the Three Realms would undoubtedly require passing the challenge of the Third Layer of Tongshen Mountain first.
Therefore, in Mu Can’s view, the highest grade of Secret Manuals available here would not exceed the scope of the Three Realms. Even so, Mu Can hoped to refine his own Cultivation Technique from this treasure trove.
The first and foremost Cultivation Technique Mu Can possessed was the heritage he received from the Dragon Clan: Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions, unquestionably a technique surpassing the levels of the Three Realms. Next was the Reverse Dragon Nine Steps, currently Mu Can’s most powerful attack move. Combined with his Cultivation Technique from the Breeze Realm, it was evident that Mu Can’s offensive arsenal would be pitifully scarce without the aid of the Reincarnation Pearl.
This was a shortcoming Mu Can was well aware of. But Cultivation Techniques that transcended the Three Realms were not common as cabbages on the streets; they were not so easily obtained. Even within the Immortal Ancient Academy, there were scarce a few such techniques.
