Chapter 529: Chapter 543: The Innate God of Misfortune

“Don’t even think about it. This is not a realm you can speculate on. However, I am now curious about what makes you so special, this is not something that ordinary people can wield.”

Skull examined Mu Can, its hollow gaze filled with incomprehensible emotions.

“I don’t know either, senior, what exactly is going on?” Mu Can was puzzled and asked.

Nevertheless, Mu Can was also skeptical about this mysterious Skull in front of him.

There was no helping it; the Skull’s appearance and timing were too uncanny, and Mu Can dared not believe all that it said.

“This power is actually very simple, but those who utilize this force are not ordinary individuals; certainly, one of the Great Power level figures in the desolate area. Do you not realize you’ve been targeted?” Skull spoke, its voice clearly reaching Mu Can’s ears, even though it had not a single stretch of flesh on its bones.

“Great Power-level figures.” Mu Can began to ponder over the few individuals he had recently met who might fit the bill.

First, the old monk he encountered in the desolate area, then Wu Ming and King Yan whom he met by mistake, and also Ghost King who was recluse in Sin City.

However, no matter how much he thought, none of these people seemed like they would make a move on him.

“I don’t know either.” Mu Can shook his head. All these people were suspicious, but Mu Can couldn’t figure out a reason for them to take action.

“That’s not important right now, let me first see what’s special about you, boy.”

Mu Can felt a chill on his shoulder as once again a skull palm was placed upon it.

Such a bizarre scene appeared in the cave hall.

A dog and a pig stood by, watching as a fleshless, all-bone creature placed its hand on Mu Can’s shoulder.

Mu Can knew this was the Skull examining his body, yet he felt no fear, for even Wu Ming had been unable to detect the Reincarnation Pearl within him.

This indicated one thing: the Reincarnation Pearl certainly had the strength to deceive these so-called giants.

“Senior, did you see anything?” After a while, seeing that the Skull made no move, Mu Can asked softly.

“Cough cough, you really are extraordinary, kid.” Skull looked at Mu Can and shook its head, looking speechless.

“What’s the matter, senior? Don’t scare me.” Mu Can was startled; had the Skull discovered something?

“Scare you? What for? I am merely wondering, are you burdened with a Great Taoist Rift on your body? But do you know what the alternative name for the Great Taoist Rift is? The Forsaken of Heaven, those even the Heavenly Dao has abandoned,” Skull said, shaking its head as it looked at Mu Can, apparently the investigation revealing something surprising.

“It’s not that rare to have people with a Great Taoist Rift, right?” Mu Can was puzzled. Before him, there were many like him, also with the Great Taoist Rift, and he hadn’t heard that it involved so many complexities; they just couldn’t break through to the All Things Realm, that’s all.

“Yes, while not rare for people to have the Great Taoist Rift, someone naturally inflicted with such misfortune like you is quite uncommon,” Skull looked at Mu Can with a face full of disdain, silently keeping a certain distance.

“Senior, why are you cursing at me?” Mu Can asked. His Qi Fortune and the luck of a misfortune god were definitely unrelated; in the Three Realms, he had absorbed so much Qi Fortune.

Even after reaching the Supreme Interface, things had always been smooth for him; when had he ever been linked with misfortune?

“Cursing at you? I wouldn’t dare. Saying you’re a misfortune god doesn’t mean you are unlucky, but rather all those who come into contact with you will be unlucky because all the luck will be sucked away by you.”

Skull shook its head, explaining that calling Mu Can a misfortune god wasn’t an indication of his personal misfortune, but rather about those around him, especially those who have ill intentions towards him.

“Now that you mention it, I’m much more comfortable,” Mu Can nodded. As long as his own luck was intact, what did it matter if others were unlucky?

“It seems I need to stay farther from you, kid. Here’s the question, do you want to resolve the Great Taoist Rift inside your body?” Skull took a step back and cautiously asked Mu Can.

If he could choose again, he would definitely not have dragged this kid’s entity inside from outside.

This was like a nuclear bomb kind of existence, tremendously threatening, yet he had absolutely no way to deal with Mu Can.

If he dared to kill Mu Can, then that misfortune Qi would follow him forever, which means he would always have to watch out for falling into a pit while walking.

Even Great Powers would not willingly try such a life.

In his opinion, someone like Mu Can, a misfortune god, should be sent far away quickly.

“Senior, do you have a way to solve my Great Taoist Rift?” Mu Can’s eyes lit up, as the skeleton did not appear to be lying.

And in Mu Can’s view, the skeleton had no reason to lie to him, given the skeleton’s strength, killing him was probably just a matter of lifting a finger.

“Why would I deceive you? However, it’s only if there’s a chance, and when the opportunity presents itself, it’s up to you to grasp it,” the skeleton said after pondering for a long time, tilting its head.

“Go, I must go.” Mu Can was very clear about his position now.

With his strength not having broken through to the All Things Realm, he was less than a pawn, hardly even having the chance to be used by others.

But if he could break through to the All Things Realm, perhaps with the help of the Reincarnation Pearl’s power, he might even be able to stir up the waters.

“Humph, rest assured, anyone who knows a bit about the situation wouldn’t dare kill you. They are all smarter than one another. Had it not been for my momentary carelessness, I wouldn’t be reduced to hiding here,” the skeleton huffed disdainfully, seemingly unsatisfied with its life hiding in this cave.

“Senior, are you a character from the mural?” Mu Can pointed to the mural and asked, conveying his greatest puzzle.

“Hey, the Luo Bu tribe from the legends has long since dissipated into smoke, and the grudges of those years are buried deep underground,” the skeleton shook its head and said.

However, Mu Can felt that the skeleton definitely wasn’t telling the whole truth or was hiding something.

“Then do you know if there are other people alive in this cave?” Mu Can quickly seized the opportunity to ask some questions while the skeleton was still engaging with him.

Don’t forget his reason for coming here; Wild Boar had said there was a mysterious force hidden in the uninhabited region, and at this thought, Mu Can glared fiercely at Wild Boar.

“Master, why are you glaring at me?” Wild Boar looked at Mu Can innocently, not knowing what he did to provoke Mu Can.

“We’ll settle this later,” Mu Can said, and Wild Boar shivered, seemingly afraid that Mu Can would roast and eat him.

“There was a group of little guys here before, but they’ve long left. This place was never meant for them,” the skeleton spoke.

However, Mu Can was indeed skeptical about this; the words spoken by this skeleton could all be false.

“Alright, I need to send you off quickly, I want to live in peace for a few more days.” The skeleton felt its neck was a bit uncomfortable and lifted its head off with both hands and adjusted it, startling Mu Can.

“This old man is definitely up to no good, he definitely hasn’t told us the truth,” Wang Cai had been watching the skeleton’s every move on the side.

“Mm, I think the same, but it seems that he doesn’t harbor any malicious intent towards us. Let’s see what he plans to do. If things go awry, we’ll unleash the Big Cauldron and throw in some Explosive Pills to create chaos and escape,” Mu Can replied.

To tell the truth, Mu Can did not want to fight the skeleton; its strength was overwhelmingly heaven-reaching. The ability to snatch him up and bring him here was enough to tighten Mu Can’s heart, and he could be certain that this elder was a presence beyond the All Things Realm, at least not something within the All Things Realm.

“Let’s see. This old man is not easy to deal with; I don’t think the two of us stand much chance of winning if we engage,” Wang Cai said, lamenting their insufficient strength. Once confronted with this kind of towering figure in an uninhabited region, even escaping was a luxury.

“Okay, okay, hurry up and go, I need to continue ‘being dead.'” As if sensing something, the skeleton kicked Mu Can’s buttocks, sending him flying into a teleportation portal.

Then it was Wang Cai and Wild Boar’s turn; both were kicked in one after the other.

After sending the three little guys out of the space, the skeleton patted its chest in relief.

“Hehe, let them deal with the headaches. I need to keep far away from such ill-omened stars.” The skeleton waved its hand lightly, all the skulls returned to their original positions, covering all the murals on the walls, and it scattered into pieces, returning to its prior spot.

The whole space seemed as if nothing had happened.

And Mu Can, along with Wang Cai and Wild Boar, was kicked into another place, crying out as they fell to the ground.

“Where is this?” After getting up, Mu Can looked around the environment.

The Spiritual Power beside him seemed to have a life of its own; he could even feel the joy and sorrow of Spiritual Power.

“Woof, woof, get off!” Wang Cai howled as Wild Boar had fallen on top of him, crushing him severely.

“Where is this place?” Wang Cai’s understanding of the Supreme Interface should be stronger than anyone else’s, after all, he had often wandered the Three Realms following the Heaven-stealing Sage.

“We’re definitely not in the Supreme Realm,” Wang Cai carefully observed the surroundings, nowhere in his memory of the Supreme Interface was such a place.

“Let’s keep looking. If all else fails, it’s also nice to cultivate here,” Mu Can pondered and said, advocating to let things take their course. Mainly, being able to escape the control of the skeleton was enough to make him exceedingly happy.

Just now, there was a true lack of any sense of security; he feared that the skeleton, if displeased, might directly strike and kill him.
