Chapter 386: Chapter 387 Ninth Layer Heavenly Pillar

“What if the person who established Tongshen Mountain was from the Supreme Interface?” Mu Can retorted, prompted by Wang Cai’s words to make a guess closely approaching the truth of the matter.

“The Banna Clan is also considered a relatively powerful tribe within the Supreme Interface. The tribe has a young All Things Realm expert presiding. When I followed my old master to visit the Banna Clan, it was that All Things Realm expert who received my master, and I saw a place similar to this building — it was their Holy Land, which had a building similar to this one,” Wang Cai explained.

That All Things Realm expert had left a deep impression on him, which was why Wang Cai felt a sense of familiarity upon arriving here.

“However, what you’re saying could very well be the true reality. The architectural style of the Banna Clan cannot be imitated by outsiders,”

Wang Cai had spent a considerable amount of time with the Sky-thief Daoist in the Banna Clan and had a deep understanding of them.

This tribe lives atop ice mountains, leading an isolated and self-sufficient life, yet they face a formidable enemy—a dark creature that emerged from the vast uninhabited expanse.

The reason the Sky-thief Daoist went there back then was for that Void Creature. However, after a fierce battle, he only managed to grievously injure the dark creature, granting the Banna Clan a brief period of peace.

Wang Cai never expected that one day, here in the distant Mortal World, he would once again encounter traces of the Banna Clan.

“Where exactly is this trial?” The hall was about half the size of a basketball court, and within it stood nine pillars carved with strange patterns.

The number nine, whether in the Mortal World or even in the distant Supreme Interface, is a particularly special number. The more powerful the cultivator, the more they favor the number nine.

“Touch this pillar with your hand,” Wang Cai suggested.

During his time in the Supreme Interface, Wang Cai had followed the Sky-thief Daoist into the Holy Land of the Banna Clan and had seen the place where the younger generation of the clan faced their trials. The method of the trial was to place one’s hand on each of the nine pillars consecutively, but what specifically transpired, Wang Cai did not know.

“In the Banna Clan, a tribal member who successfully passes the three-pillar trial is already considered a once-in-a-century genius. Those who pass the five-pillar trial prompt the Banna Clan to hold a grand celebration. As for those who can pass the nine-pillar trial, it is said that in the ten thousand-year history of the Banna Clan, only one person has passed,” Wang Cai explained.

The Banna Clan, though secluded, is still a large tribe. In tens of thousands of years, only one person has passed the nine-pillar trial, demonstrating the immense difficulty of this trial.

Mu Can gently placed his palm on the first pillar, and the patterns on the pillar seemed to slowly come to life, crawling up Mu Can’s arm, just as Wang Cai had seen with those Banna Clan members undergoing the trial, hence Wang Cai did not intervene.

When Mu Can’s body was covered with strange patterns, he slowly closed his eyes, appearing to lose consciousness, standing motionless.

And Mu Can’s Divine Sense was drawn into a miraculous place—a forest ablaze with flames, and from the sky, large meteorites occasionally fell, violently crashing into the forest.

“Defeat the Giant Beast within the forest to pass this trial successfully.”

A deep and robust male voice rang out, informing Mu Can of the challenge he would face in this stage.

“Still fighting, how come these challenges have no novelty at all, all about fighting.” Mu Can shook his head and took large strides forward.

Mu Can feared nothing when it came to battle, and since this was only the first stage, the fight was bound to be easy and enjoyable.

The trees growing in the forest were of a species Mu Can had never seen before, entirely white, even the leaves were white, looking from afar like a forest just after a heavy snowfall, but right now, the roaring flames broke the tranquility of the forest.

Although Mu Can feared nothing, he still remained sufficiently vigilant.

As Mu Can walked on, he felt as if something was missing from this forest.

Life, yes, the forest seemed like it had lost its soul, devoid of birdsong, insect chirps, or any sign of life, only the huge white trees and the blazing flames.

“Giant Beast, what kind of Giant Beast is it?” Mu Can suppressed the doubts in his heart, walking forward. Since the challenge was to overcome the so-called Giant Beast, there must be one in this forest.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t contact Wang Cai, and even the Reincarnation Pearl was unusable. Mu Can sighed internally, having calculated everything but not foreseeing that this ultimate test would be conducted through Divine Sense.

This meant he couldn’t contact Wang Cai or communicate with the Reincarnation Pearl to protect himself, everything had to rely solely on himself.

Mu Can suddenly stopped and widened his eyes, right in front of him, a huge monster suddenly appeared, if the previous Void Creature was the size of two people, then this Giant Beast in front of Mu Can was a full ten meters tall, lying sprawled and soundly asleep, with a huge spear casually thrown aside.

“Is this the Giant Beast?” Mu Can didn’t act rashly, but observed the Giant Beast from a distance.

Looking intently, atop a robust body sat a huge bull’s head, muscles bulging on the arms, with each breath red breaths visible from the nostrils, even from a distance he could feel the immense pressure facing him, and Mu Can could be sure, this Giant Beast definitely lacked hygiene; such a foul stench could be smelled from afar.

“Sigh, no other way, let’s fight.” Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions instantly activated, a red and a white lotus appeared on the Dragon Claw, merging into a red and white lotus.

Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions along with Ice and Fire Glass Lotus, Mu Can’s strongest attack right now, going all out from the start.

As Spiritual Power surged, the Giant Beast in the forest seemed to sense something happening here, suddenly opening its eyes to look towards Mu Can.

Those eyes, filled with skyrocketing murderous intent, were blood red.

Mu Can hadn’t even attacked yet, but had already startled the Giant Beast awake, showing just how strong the beast’s sensory abilities were.
