Chapter 533 - 547: Human Clan Ancestor?
CHAPTER 533: CHAPTER 547: HUMAN CLAN ANCESTOR?
After a short while, Mu Can had the stew simmering with an enticing scent.
Even the chubby guy standing nearby couldn’t help but sniff the air.
There was no helping it, it was simply too aromatic, as Mu Can had added a bunch of unique Spiritual Medicines grown in the New World.
The elder added some spices and a Spiritual Treasure to the pot, turning it into a medicinal feast.
Don’t forget that Mu Can collected only the most essence-rich parts from these animals.
The elderly gave Mu Can a thumbs up and strode over to the Big Cauldron; he was eager to taste this meaty soup.
Always eating grilled meat can indeed become tiresome.
"Ooh, I haven’t tasted something this delicious in a long time," the elder said as he scooped a bowl for himself and wolfed it down.
Mu Can thought to himself that of course it had been a long while since the elder had eaten, as he had been sealed inside the Big Cauldron all this time.
"Eat more." Mu Can’s clone, who was no different from a normal person, also grabbed a bowl and began eating.
This put the chubby guy in a difficult position, as he dared not leave, and stood there smelling the aroma but not daring to eat.
After all, those being cooked were his subordinates, all from Beasts Valley.
"Hey fatty, come here." As he was in his dilemma, the elder waved him over.
The chubby guy obediently walked over to the elder, genuinely fearing him since he had eaten all his commanders.
That was nearly one-tenth of Beasts Valley’s strength that the elder had devoured.
The chubby guy knew if his True Body wasn’t a toad, he’d likely not escape such a fate.
After calling him over, the elder pointed first to the food stewing in the Big Cauldron, then to his stomach.
The chubby guy saw that the elder signalled him to eat together, but he quickly shook his head, as after all, those being cooked were his little brothers.
He really couldn’t bring himself to eat them.
"The elder isn’t asking you to eat. He’s asking how many more edible guys you have left. He’s still not full,"
Mu Can said lazily after spitting out a bone.
The chubby guy glared fiercely at Mu Can, realizing that this young man had no good intentions, and was shamelessly freeloading and causing trouble.
However, satisfied with Mu Can’s words, the elder nodded his approval, as he had been sealed for too long and was now replenishing his Spiritual Power.
And feasting on such high Cultivation level Great Demons was the best way to supplement his diet.
"Are you aiming to completely wipe out Beasts Valley?" The chubby guy clenched his teeth and bowed.
He truly couldn’t afford to provoke this old figure, and even the real master of Beasts Valley might not be a match for him.
"I’m hungry," the elder mumbled unclearly, devouring another bowl of the stew.
"Answer yes or no, what’s with all the unnecessary talk?" Mu Can flippantly tossed a bone near the chubby guy.
He had disliked this chubby guy for a long time since he had ordered all of the Black Winged Tribe captured here.
"You..." Just as the chubby guy was about to retaliate, he saw the elder slightly squint his eyes and held back his words.
"Pah! You - this toad, utterly inedible," Mu Can angrily threw another bone at him.
Watching the greasy bone bounce off his clothes and fall to the ground, the chubby guy nearly crushed his teeth in fury.
"You sure are ruthless, how do you know the elder won’t make a move on you?" Wang Cai almost jumped in excitement from outside.
He, just like Mu Can, had disliked the chubby guy for a long time and was delighted to see Mu Can teaching him a lesson.
"The elder must be from the Human Clan, and I’ve sensed that he only targets those edible races for his meals," Mu Can started explaining.
His rush to come here wasn’t to serve the elder; he also harbored thoughts of getting close to the elder.
Though unsure why the elder had been sealed, Mu Can intended to investigate further.
"Are you seeking death?" After stewing for a while, the chubby guy’s chest heaved heavily, resembling an angry toad.
Mu Can was worried his next words might truly invoke a harsh response.
"Still threatening me, why don’t you just croak?" This time, Mu Can threw a bone directly at the chubby guy’s head.
The chubby guy felt Mu Can constantly pushing his limits of tolerance.
"Croak!" A furious croak mixed with a gale struck at Mu Can, who quickly looked towards the elder.
However, with a slight wave of the elder’s hand, the gale disappeared into thin air.
Seeing this, the chubby guy was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Just now, he indeed struck out with resentment, but now he has genuinely angered the old man.
The old man waved his hand in the air, and a huge palm descended from the sky, smashing the fatty into the ground.
Despite the tragic scene, the fatty didn’t die; it seemed that the elder had still shown some restraint.
"Hehe, he was asking for it." Mu Can clapped his hands and then promptly settled beside the elder, diligently starting to massage the elder’s back.
The elder slightly squinted his eyes, clearly enjoying it.
"Old man, why are you so nice to me?" Mu Can suddenly felt as if there were stars in his eyes, this old man was simply too cool.
"Because you are my descendant," the elder said with narrowed eyes, looking at Mu Can.
"What?" Mu Can’s smile froze on his face, what was this about suddenly having an ancestor?
"You’re not joking, right? I’m your descendant?" Mu Can carefully observed the elder, worried the elder might actually be mentally unsound.
"Aren’t you from the Human Clan?" the old man said with an expression that seemed to see right through him, making Mu Can feel like he was stripped naked on the street.
"I indeed am from the Human Clan." Mu Can nodded. Although this was one of his avatars, he was certainly of the Human Clan.
"If you weren’t from the Human Clan, do you think I’d let you sit beside me?" The elder smiled mysteriously.
His smile made Mu Can feel a bit panicked inside; his purpose in coming here was to investigate the old man’s background, but found an ancestor instead?
"My heavens, elder, you mean you’re an Ancestor of the Human Clan?" Mu Can instantly thought of an exciting possibility.
This elder, sealed in a deserted area by foreign tribes, might really be a figure of the Ancestor Level within the Human Clan.
"It took you long enough to realize. You little clever spirit, don’t think you can deceive me by sending an avatar?" The old man grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
"Uh..." Mu Can scratched his head awkwardly; he truly hadn’t expected his trick to fool the elder.
A skeleton had already discerned the location of his True Body, and this elder was much stronger than that skeleton, needless to say.
"Bring over your True Body, what’s in this Big Cauldron is a great tonic." The elder’s words instantly aroused Mu Can’s interest.
"Shall we go?" Wang Cai’s saliva dripped down eagerly, looking at Mu Can with desire.
"Let’s go!" To refuse such a good thing would be a folly, as it was a delicacy created by beings who surpassed the All Things Realm.
Wherever it was, it would be considered a luxury.
"Please wait a moment, elder," Mu Can respectfully nodded and said to the elder.
"No need for such trouble." Seeing Mu Can nod, the elder waved his hand gently, and a blue teleportation portal appeared next to Mu Can.
Mu Can stepped through with Wang Cai and immediately appeared beside the elder.
"Hey? You’re somewhat peculiar, kid." The elder glanced at Mu Can, curiosity on his face as he lightly placed a hand on him.
After a short moment, he nodded.
"Indeed, you have a Great Taoist Rift." The elder had also spotted Mu Can’s peculiarity, but he didn’t voice the core nature of Mu Can’s affliction.
"Not hiding it from you, elder, I came into this uninhabited area precisely to find a way to resolve the Great Taoist Rift." Mu Can nodded helplessly.
Because of the Great Taoist Rift, Mu Can was currently unable to cultivate.
The Spiritual Power gathered during Cultivation all entered the Great Taoist Rift, with none left to be saved.
"Resolve the Great Taoist Rift? Why resolve it?" The elder curiously glanced at Mu Can, as if surprised by his words.
"The Great Taoist Rift cannot break through to the All Things Realm." Mu Can spoke, somewhat puzzled why the elder didn’t even know such basic knowledge.
"Who told you that the Great Taoist Rift cannot break through to the All Things Realm? Foolish." The elder revealed a startling piece of news that shocked Mu Can.
"The Great Taoist Rift can also break through to the All Things Realm?" Mu Can’s eyes lit up immediately.
The previous skeleton had not told him about this.
"Of course, it’s true." As if afraid Mu Can wouldn’t believe it, the elder demonstrated his own power.
And Mu Can saw the same Great Taoist Rift on the elder’s body.
"Elder, what exactly is going on?" Mu Can felt his heart begin to race.
This was explosive information; the person before him who claimed to be an elder of the Human Clan also bore a Great Taoist Rift.
The fatty, who was eavesdropping nearby, caught the elder’s attention, and with a slap, the elder knocked him unconscious, then he started chatting with Mu Can.
"While this is called the Great Taoist Rift, it has another benefit; if you can continue this rift, your Cultivation will be at least twice as high compared to others at the same level."
After finishing, the elder also showed Mu Can his own Great Taoist Rift.
Mu Can then saw various changes occurring at the site of the elder’s Great Taoist Rift, each change shifting the air around the elder.
