"If such changes are made, those entering Tongshen Mountain will surely advance rapidly in their cultivation," Wang Cai brightened upon hearing Mu Can’s words. The myriad secret manuals housed within the Scripture Pavilion were more than enough for the vast majority of cultivators in the Mortal World to study. Even Wang Cai himself salivated over those ultimate secret manuals.
"If that’s the case, we’ll need to separate Tongshen Mountain from other places. Oh right, those spiritual bodies within Tongshen Mountain can now leave Tongshen Mountain too. There’s really no need for so many people to maintain it. Brother Lin, you’ll have to take some trouble later and help me manage it together with the Artifact Spirit of Tongshen Mountain." This matter had already taken shape in Mu Can’s mind.
What he intended to do was to demarcate Tongshen Mountain within this New World as an enclosed, exclusive area, prepared solely for the people of the Mortal World, allowing them to enter and enhance their strength.
"So it seems there are indeed some promising talents in Tongshen Mountain," Brother Lin thought for a moment, recognizing that such changes would indeed be beneficial for Tongshen Mountain.
After all, Tongshen Mountain had found its master, and now it was time to transform it completely into the inheritance land of the Mortal World.
"This world is the safest place in the entire Three Realms. Moreover, if any life forms with hostile intentions enter, the Origin of this world will alert me, allowing us to effectively root out those with ulterior motives," Mu Can nodded, feeling increasingly confident in his decision.
"Then let’s reconstruct physical bodies for all the spiritual bodies in Tongshen Mountain," Mu Can said, observing the various light balls composed of spiritual power in front of him. He had just reconstructed physical bodies for many, but there were still many left.
"I’ll call them over," Brother Lin nodded. The spiritual bodies guarding Tongshen Mountain had almost become friends after constantly being together.
"No need for such trouble," Mu Can shook his head.
In his own world, he himself was the Sovereign, and there was no need for such hassle.
"Come." With a gentle wave of his hand.
Shadows flew out from within Tongshen Mountain and landed steadily in front of him.
"Wasn’t I sleeping? How come I suddenly ended up here?"
"Brother Lin, what are you doing?"
The spiritually-bodied individuals, who experienced a free bungee-jumping session, were clearly puzzled, wondering how they had uncontrollably left Tongshen Mountain.
"Is that you, the little guy from before?" spoke an elder who had transferred all his Power of Gluttony to Mu Can, surrounded by dozens who looked just like him, apparently all being primary spiritual avatars.
Mu Can had originally learned the idea of creating spiritual power avatars from these individuals.
"You succeeded?" The elder pondered briefly before understanding what had happened. Surely, the young man before him had successfully passed the ultimate trial and now it was time to release him.
"Yes, I succeeded," Mu Can also showed joy, as the elder had, in a betting manner, given all his accumulated Power of Gluttony to him, greatly aiding Mu Can.
A burly figure glanced at Mu Can and then tried to squeeze into the crowd.
"Stop." Mu Can felt this person looked familiar.
As Mu Can called out, the burly figure slowly turned back, and Mu Can realized, hey, wasn’t this the fat man who fooled him and got a drop of his blood at the dueling platform?
"Hehe, still trying to run?" Mu Can chuckled and spoke.
That fat man had tricked Mu Can and then disappeared without a trace. Mu Can had searched for this fat man who knew the insider details, but to no avail. Who would have thought that this guy was actually one of the Tongshen Mountain spiritual bodies?
"Er Zhuang, what’s going on?" Brother Lin asked, wondering how Er Zhuang had offended Mu Can in this world where even he couldn’t compete with Mu Can.
"Woof! This guy has some nerve, daring to deceive Mu Can, haha, can’t run now, can you?" Wang Cai, aware of some details, immediately guessed that this robust guy was the one who had previously tricked Mu Can of a blood drop and ran away.
"I was wrong..." Er Zhuang turned around and knelt down before Mu Can.
"Uh..." Mu Can hadn’t yet decided what to do with him when he suddenly knelt down.
"Tell me, what exactly did you use my blood for?" Mu Can, seeing such a large man with bear-like shoulders kneeling in front of him, his face streaming with tears and mucus, felt somewhat uncomfortable and asked.
Regardless, the truth had to be understood first.
"I am a menial spiritual body belonging to Tongshen Mountain, mainly responsible for gathering information about challengers and identifying those with exceptional potential. Noticing your immense potential, I managed to collect a drop of your blood," Er Zhuang explained clearly.
"Er Zhuang indeed handles this task. After all, we need to give those challengers with high potential but eliminated due to bad luck another chance," Brother Lin timely stepped forward to explain, looking nervously at Mu Can.
Er Zhuang had felt something special about Mu Can, so after deceiving a drop of blood from him, he had slipped away. Who knew that now Mu Can would become the first-ever master of Tongshen Mountain—a twist of fate indeed.
"It’s fine, let’s reconstruct physical bodies for you all," Mu Can, having heard Brother Lin’s explanation, didn’t take it too much to heart. It was just a drop of blood after all, and it was unlikely anyone could gain much from this drop.
"Reconstruct physical bodies?" Er Zhuang suddenly looked up, as for spiritual bodies, their greatest wish was to regain their own physical bodies.
Once they had physical bodies, they could once again experience the fragrance of Spirit Fruits and the deliciousness of food.
Moments later, another batch of people with reconstructed physical bodies appeared around Mu Can, all looking at him with excitement.
Mu Can thought for a moment and directly moved the airborne Tongshen Mountain to a corner of this world, using the Origin of the world to turn that area into an enclosed space, isolated from other parts of the world.
"That’ll do. Brother Lin, study the issues inside Tongshen Mountain together with the Artifact Spirit according to my instructions. Once I leave, there will continuously be cultivators entering, allowing them to select the secret manuals suitable for themselves. Let them accumulate enough battle experience here before permitting them to leave," Mu Can thought for a moment, then waved his hand sending Brother Lin and the newly bodied cultivators all into Tongshen Mountain.
"When they emerge again, they ought to be a powerful force."
For Mu Can now, every bit of power was worth striving for. The war against the external demons would be the most severe one in his cultivation career.
