Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 257 - 258 Reincarnation

Hearing Wang Cai’s description, Mu Can was filled with longing for the Supreme Interface.

The vast and boundless territory, the countless experts, and the places where even the strongest could not tread—how many secrets were hidden there? A true man aspires to travel far and wide; such places are where men are meant to be.

"What happened next?" Mu Can asked, hoping to learn more about the Supreme Interface from Wang Cai.

"Later, that Light Ball just hovered in front of the old master and eventually landed in his hands." Wang Cai still felt lingering fear when recalling that moment.

In the vast no-man’s land, everything defies common sense. Even the things you’re familiar with, a tree or a blade of grass, could potentially harm someone of the All Things Realm.

"Old master took the Light Ball, only feeling it brimming with Soul Energy, but had no way to utilize it until he was crafting the Reincarnation Pearl. The Light Ball then voluntary merged with it, resulting in the current appearance of the Reincarnation Pearl." Wang Cai looked at Mu Can as if to say, "Boy, you’ve stumbled upon an incredible fortune."

The no-man’s land in the Supreme Interface hides the most wealth but is also the most dangerous place. Obtaining treasures safely from there is an incredibly difficult task.

"Supreme Interface, hey, wait for me." Mu Can was full of confidence in himself. The Mortal World was too small for him; once he’d settled all his affairs in the Mortal World, he would proceed to the Supreme Interface.

After hearing Mu Can’s confident words, Wang Cai, unusually, did not refute him. Although he often clashed with Mu Can, Wang Cai had a genuine respect for Mu Can’s strength and good fortune.

If as the owner of the Reincarnation Pearl you can’t transcend this broken interface, that would be truly embarrassing.

"Let me tell you about the second layer of Reincarnation City," Wang Cai continued, as the only bystander during the crafting of the Reincarnation Pearl by the Thief of Heavenly Dao, he had a comprehensive understanding of it.

"Reincarnation City?" Mu Can still remembered meeting his uncle-master, Xu Chao, there.

"What’s so special about it?" Mu Can hadn’t been able to discern anything unique about Reincarnation City; it seemed to him a regular city where the City Lord was somewhat stronger but still quite limited in how he could help.

"Reincarnation City, reincarnation, does it remind you of anything?" Wang Cai looked down on Mu Can.

"Oh?" Mu Can still couldn’t think of any particular peculiarities.

"The interface where Reincarnation City originally resided was a special one, saved by the old master during his travels."

Back then, the Reincarnation Interface, like today’s Immortal and Demon Realms, faced ruin, although the cause was due to an irresistible external force.

"A special interface?" Mu Can was puzzled. He didn’t understand how interfaces could be categorized as special or not.

"Alas, it looks like Lord Wang Cai will have to enlighten you about the classification of interfaces."

Wang Cai, the dog, enjoyed lecturing Mu Can the most.

There are countless interfaces in this world, large and small. The most common are ordinary interfaces like the current Mortal World, abounding in number and population but also very mundane.

Among these innumerable interfaces, there are the rare ones with unique attributes; the Reincarnation Interface is one of these.

Each special interface has its unique characteristics. Some interface’s Spiritual Medicine might be thousands of times more potent than others, and some interfaces might produce ores that even Great Powers covet. Most of these special interfaces have become vassals of the strong in the Supreme Interface, effectively their backyards.

The Thief of Heavenly Dao discovered such an interface by chance: the Reincarnation Interface.

The uniqueness of the Reincarnation Interface lies within the very term "reincarnation."

Although the Reincarnation Interface is weak and has no significant powers, Reincarnation City, as its center, is a treasure trove.

In a normal interface, no matter how weak or mighty in Cultivation, one will eventually die. Even the strongest of the All Things Realm have their day of death. And after death, the soul has no concept of reincarnation or transmigration. Essentially, a dead soul, even if reborn in a new body, will face death again someday; regardless of the soul’s power, Soul Power will gradually slip away.

However, in the Reincarnation World, there exists true reincarnation. An ordinary resident, from birth to death, experiences reincarnation and begins anew.

All of this deeply moved the Thief of Heavenly Dao, and his strength improved as a result. He decided to have Xu Chao save this interface in times of crisis.

"Reincarnation?" Mu Can had never considered this. In the Mortal World, there were no legends of reincarnation; it seemed that in the eyes of mortals, death was just that, with no continuation.

"Indeed, reincarnation. You wouldn’t have imagined that it truly exists. It was also because of the Reincarnation World that the old master decided to name his crafted Treasure the Reincarnation Pearl," Wang Cai said.

That was the true origin of the name Reincarnation Pearl.

"Reshaping reincarnation."

The greatest aspiration of the Thief of Heavenly Dao was that he had discovered that the Supreme Interface had once possessed reincarnation, but later on, for some unknown reason, it ceased. The subsequent changes in the Reincarnation Pearl disrupted the Thief of Heavenly Dao’s plans, and the matter came to naught.

After all, with the Thief of Heavenly Dao’s strength, to craft a Reincarnation Pearl had already exhausted most of his treasures, making it impossible to create another.

"So that’s it, reshaping reincarnation; the master’s aspiration is magnificent," Mu Can couldn’t help but admire the Thief of Heavenly Dao.

The merit of being able to reshape reincarnation would be monumental.

"The third layer is even more amazing; heh, it would scare you to death," Wang Cai said with a wide grin, laughing mischievously.

"For the third layer, the old master robbed countless forces of their collections. In the end, with the help of the only Sand of Time in the Supreme Interface, he created such a mysterious space for the third layer," recalled Wang Cai, reminiscing about those days of looting with the Thief of Heavenly Dao with a nostalgic smile.

That period was the most chaotic in the Supreme Interface, and the name of the Thief of Heavenly Dao echoed throughout.

Just mentioning the man and the dog duo made everyone gnash their teeth in anger.

A common dialogue in the Supreme Interface at that time was:

"Hey, have you been robbed by that man and dog duo too?"

It became the standard greeting among many leaders of forces, reflecting just how wild the Thief of Heavenly Dao was at the time.
