Wang Cai had always been observing Mu Can’s movements from within the Reincarnation Pearl. In such a strange place, he was prepared to immediately utilize the power of the Reincarnation Pearl to wake him up if anything went awry, ensuring Mu Can’s safety no matter the challenge.
Even without Tongshen Mountain, couldn’t Mu Can reach the Void Level with the help of the Reincarnation Pearl? Wang Cai had no doubt about the efficacy of the Reincarnation Pearl. Even a fool, possessing such a treasure, could reach the peak; much more so for a genius like Mu Can.
However, the reason Wang Cai hoped Mu Can would attain the Void Level through his own efforts was simple; he didn’t want Mu Can to develop an excessive dependency on him or the Reincarnation Pearl, as it would make his future cultivation journey difficult.
"No worries, I just ran into a big dumb bear."
"Bless you." Just a moment ago, a snow-white Frost Giant Bear suddenly sneezed violently, hastily climbed up, and warily looked around. After several scans revealing no one else, it finally relaxed and vigorously rubbed its buttocks.
"Damn, I’ve never seen such a pervert; they actually blew up Lord Bear’s butt. If it weren’t for my ability to reincarnate, I would have fought you on the spot."
The Frost Giant Bear, rubbing its butt, looked frightened, clearly scared by Mu Can’s recent actions.
"But speaking of which, this kid does have some skills. His manipulation of Ice and Fire Attribute Spiritual Power is indeed flexible. I just don’t know how many Heavenly Pillars he can pass. The guys further on are not easy to deal with." Having said that, the Frost Giant Bear lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
"There are such creatures?" Listening to the story Mu Can told him, Wang Cai also showed a smile; the poor giant bear was constantly being toyed with by Mu Can till even its buttocks were burst.
"So you burst his butthole just like that?" Wang Cai asked with ill intentions.
"Go away, what do you mean I burst his butthole? He died under my Fire Lotus," Mu Can replied irritably, as Wang Cai’s ambiguous language suggested that Mu Can targeted the bear’s weaker lower part, turning it into Mu Can bursting the bear’s butthole.
"Hurry up and recover. I just found a flaw in this Heavenly Pillar, and I’ll accompany you on the next one." Wang Cai urged, having observed the peculiar patterns on other Heavenly Pillars while Mu Can was challenged a pillar and discovered that those patterns formed an Array on the surface of the Heavenly Pillar.
But across the entire Three Realms, there might be no Array that Wang Cai couldn’t decipher.
The Qiankun Compass slowly turned, and soon Wang Cai discovered a loophole in the Array, and decided to join Mu Can in the next Heavenly Pillar’s test.
"You can even decipher a Heavenly Pillar?" Mu Can was surprised and delighted, not expecting such a big revelation from Wang Cai. Having Wang Cai in battle often yielded greater results with less effort. If Wang Cai had been there in the previous battle, it would have ended much sooner without so much trouble.
"Of course! Who am I? I am Lord Wang Cai!" Even without looking at Wang Cai, Mu Can knew that at this moment Wang Cai was definitely wearing a proud expression.
At this moment, inside the Fourth Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl, Wang Cai was enjoying a more leisurely time than outside, comfortably sitting in a rocking chair gently swaying and eating various Spirit Fruits presented to him by Xiao Fugui and others. He was constantly observing the outside world through the Reincarnation Pearl. Such days were too comfortable to describe.
However, upon hearing Wang Cai’s words, Mu Can burst out laughing.
No matter how much Wang Cai pressed him, Mu Can refused to reveal the reason for his laughter, which made Wang Cai anxious. He even stopped eating the Spirit Fruits and threatened to not help Mu Can with the Array unless he told him the reason, and then Mu Can finally explained why he laughed.
The reason was simple: the tone Wang Cai used just now was strikingly similar to that of the Frost Giant Bear. Hearing Wang Cai’s words, Mu Can immediately thought of the image of that dog getting scorched by flames, inevitably laughing out loud.
But to Wang Cai, Mu Can would definitely not say it like that. If he did, Wang Cai would probably leap out of the Reincarnation Pearl and challenge him to a fight to the death, creating a chaotic scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
"I wasn’t laughing at anything specific. I was just laughing at that Frost Giant Bear, always running away, and in the end, it was killed without even putting up a fight," Mu Can explained earnestly, his face as sincere as a young elementary school student just joining the Young Pioneers.
"Really?" Wang Cai obviously didn’t believe him. Just now, when Mu Can laughed, he sensed that Mu Can was laughing at him, but he didn’t know exactly what about.
"Let it be, let me recover a bit. You should come with me to the third Heavenly Pillar later." Mu Can changed the topic. This dog was too clever, continuing the conversation might reveal his slip, which wouldn’t be good, especially in this mysterious and dangerous place. Mu Can didn’t want to have a big fight with Wang Cai here.
"Okay." Wang Cai nodded after hearing Mu Can’s words. He also harbored his own little secret in his heart. This space hid many secrets, and Mu Can, this kid, usually couldn’t recognize treasures, which was why Wang Cai decided to enter the Heavenly Pillar with him to see if they could find some treasures during the test. At the very least, they wouldn’t return empty-handed like Mu Can.
Holding the Treasure Bead, Mu Can absorbed the Spiritual Power stored inside. This kind of Treasure Bead could indeed be considered as a treasure, now having fully restored his Spiritual Power for the second time.
After Mu Can fully recovered, he walked to the front of the third Heavenly Pillar. Beside him, a big black dog materialized, strong as a calf, standing up on its hind legs with a Qiankun Compass emitting a faint glow on its large black paws.
Mu Can looked enviously at the Compass in Wang Cai’s hand and made up his mind. Once the matters of the Mortal World were settled, he would seriously study the Array techniques and also cultivate his Alchemy Technique. Skills never burden one, and these secondary professions were greatly helpful in combat.
"Activate!" Wang Cai, standing upright, looked somewhat like an Array Master.
A beam of light shot out from the Compass in Wang Cai’s hand, causing a slight change in the bizarre patterns on the Heavenly Pillar.
"All set." Wang Cai nodded and went back into the Reincarnation Pearl.
