38: Chapter 38: The Hope of Reshaping the Physical Body 38: Chapter 38: The Hope of Reshaping the Physical Body Reincarnation Pearl, the first layer, holds ancient, enduring presence, brimming with massive amounts of soul energy.

Soul energy here transforms into mountains and rivers, into every living creature, with everything appearing no different from the outside world.

The Elder of Martial Pavilion slowly regained consciousness, only to be greeted by waves of intense pain from various parts of his body.

Enraged, Mu Can lashed out uncontrollably, every punch solidly striking the Elder of Martial Pavilion’s body.

Just as the Elder wanted to move, he found himself bound to a pillar, and to his embarrassment, tied in a humiliating posture.

Struggling with all his might, he failed to move an inch, the rope tying him, made of unknown material, was incredibly tough.

This rope, made from Purple Cloud’s soul power, emitted a faint blue glow; within the Reincarnation Pearl, Purple Cloud was the sovereign.

Seeing escape was futile, the Elder of Martial Pavilion suddenly felt panicked.

Although he didn’t know why he was here, without any sensation of his soul power fading, it felt safer than inside the Martial Pavilion.

Yet, he hadn’t forgotten the man who beat him unconscious, Mu Can, and that mysterious woman.

“Is anybody there?

Mu Can, come out.

I am your ancestor.”

Suddenly, the Elder of Martial Pavilion shouted hoarsely.

Seeing no one around made his heart feel even more restless.

Despite calling out, and nobody appearing after a long time, the Elder of Martial Pavilion tiredly lowered his head, his expression unclear.

“What is your name?

What is your current strength?” Mu Can asked the young man kneeling on the ground.

“Sir, my name is Zhang Yuan, and I had the strength of a Great Martial Master at my peak before death,” the young man replied respectfully.

Those cultivators whom Mu Zi captivated were either highly skilled in cultivation or possessed boundless potential as geniuses.

Unquestionably, Zhang Yuan belonged to the latter.

As an Inner Sect Disciple of Myriad Swords Sect, he had been targeted by the crazed Mu Zi during a solo mission.

The outcome is self-explanatory.

A genius, vulnerable before fully maturing, easily perishes, and Zhang Yuan was instantly killed by Mu Zi.

Even his soul was captured, becoming a part of the Demonic Qi within Mu Zi’s body.

Once a proud genius, now fallen just because of isolation, targeted by Mu Zi.

Nearly three years of torment had completely eroded the pride in Zhang Yuan.

Now, Zhang Yuan was extremely grateful to Purple Cloud and Mu Can, seeing hope for returning to the Human World filled his heart with longing.

“Very well, as long as you perform well, I will help you reconstruct your body so that you can return to the Human World.”

Mu Can had early on discussed with Purple Cloud about the souls of cultivators.

Cultivators of a certain strength level will have their souls emerge after death, but without a physical body, the soul power slowly dissipates and eventually undergoes reincarnation or vanishes.

Furthermore, some souls lack strength but due to fate have managed to persist; like the more than two hundred Reincarnators here.

Souls can also undergo cultivation, and these cultivating souls are known as Soul Cultivators, who at some point can reconstruct their physical bodies.

However, this requires a rare elixir that enables these souls to reconstruct their bodies.

Hearing this information, Mu Can had excitedly asked Purple Cloud.

“Yun Jie, when can you reshape your physical body?” Mu Can dreamed of being able to walk arm in arm with Purple Cloud.

Purple Cloud shook her head and said, “Reshaping a physical body is not that simple, the stronger the power, the more difficult the reshaping becomes.

Moreover, my Spiritual Sense is incomplete, and I still need to gather it to reshape my body.”

“How can we gather your Spiritual Sense?” asked Mu Can, anxiously.

“Little boy, as long as you strive, I can feel that once you can unlock the lower layers of the Reincarnation Pearl, I can then utilize it to reshape my Spiritual Sense,” said Purple Cloud, glancing at Mu Can with a faint smile.

How could she not desire to reform her Spiritual Sense and body as soon as possible?

“Strength, it’s always about strength.” Hearing this, Mu Can clenched his fists tightly, his expression full of determination.

Right now, he was desperate to possess the strength that could change the situation.

The Mu Family encountered a catastrophe, the ancestor disappeared, and although the Guardian Elder had the power, he harbored ulterior motives against him.

His father entered a perilous area and his whereabouts are temporarily unknown, while his enemies from the past now dominate the Ancient Academy.

Although Mu Can never showed it, his heart was incredibly yearning for strength.

Only by becoming stronger, then stronger, and yet stronger, could he obtain what he desired in the competitive Mortal World.

Only then could he get to the Heavenly Realm and avenge Yun Jie.

“Can a body really be reshaped?” Happiness came so suddenly that Zhang Yuan almost couldn’t believe his own ears.

Stunned, he opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

“Already dead for three years, yet there’s still a chance to reshape the body and return to the Mortal World.” To Zhang Yuan, this seemed like an impossible feat.

“Of course, as long as you can accomplish that, I can offer you unlimited possibilities,” Mu Can said mysteriously.

Hearing Mu Can’s words, everyone present even began to breathe more rapidly, which showed just how significant returning to the Mortal World was to them.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Mu Can’s lips curved into a slight smile.

Now having to command such a large group of people, he felt slightly overwhelmed, but he believed that one day soon, everyone here would be willing to fight for him.

“Zhang Yuan is willing to spare no effort for the lord,” Zhang Yuan said determinedly after hearing Mu Can’s speech, then fiercely kowtowed on the ground.

His forehead firmly pressed against the ground, he clenched the Spirit Grass on the ground with his hands, his nails digging into his palms.

Even in his soul form, Mu Can could feel the excitement and eagerness emanating from Zhang Yuan.

“What is your name?” Mu Can asked, turning his head to look at the elderly man with Martial Arts Sect strength.

“Replying to the lord, this old man is named Zhong Feng,” the elder replied with a complex expression.

Never had he thought he’d have another chance to be reborn; he didn’t know what state his treacherous disciple was in now.

Thinking this, Zhong Feng also clenched his fists tightly.

“These two hundred and some people will be divided into ten small teams and two large groups.

Zhong Feng and Zhang Yuan will each lead a large group.

You’ll choose your own squad leaders.

My requirement is that within a month, you all must cultivate the Soul Cultivation Secret Manual given by Yun Jie to the Second Level.

Those who achieve this will be rewarded, and those who don’t will be punished,” Mu Can stated calmly.

Despite his calm tone, his voice was filled with irrefutable authority, slowly exuding an imposing aura only a sovereign could emanate.

“Yes,” Zhang Yuan and Zhong Feng answered in unison, Zhang Yuan casting a provocative look at Zhong Feng.

The message was clear: don’t think about beating me.

Zhong Feng saw Zhang Yuan’s challenge, yet didn’t react.

Noticing the performance of both, Mu Can wore an expressionless face, and who knows what he was thinking.
