His thoughts, much like those of Lv Liangping and Xu Jianan, were not entirely convinced that Xiao Mu could acquire complete Divine Authority, yet they believed Xiao Mu would certainly be able to find Divine Weapons and Treasures, Divine Spirit Tablets, and Divine Treasures.

And these were all items highly sought after at various Ruins.

Wei Lingxiao held the Thunder God Position, possessing two of the Thunder Lord's Treasures that were loaned from Headquarters, not owned by him personally.

Lv Liangping held the Retribution System's Disaster Position, having the position but lacking any corresponding Divine Treasures, and Xu Jianan was similar, holding the Death Judge Position within the Life and Death System and like Lv Liangping, he too had the position but no treasures.

Zun and Huang Yuan had also recovered from their surprise by this time. Zun smiled, considering his rank, refrained from saying much, but secretly decided how to arrange for someone to find information related to the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

After all, although he held the City God Position, he similarly lacked the corresponding City God Treasures.

As for Xiao Mu, to his knowledge, there were already two City God Treasures in his possession, one being the Book of Life and Death, and the other being the Judge Pen.

Even if Xiao Mu could never again obtain any Divine Treasures, Zun was not worried about Xiao Mu lacking Divine Treasures to compensate him as a reward.

Huang Yuan, less patient than Zun, couldn't wait and said, "Kid Xiao, I remember your words. Like old Wei, I also hold the Thunder God Position. Once I am back, I'll arrange for people to search for the whereabouts of the Lord of Bai's Mansion. You just wait to hand over the treasures."

His tone was thick with confidence, as if he were going to get the leads on the whereabouts of the Lord of Bai's Mansion immediately upon his return.

Xiao Mu said, "Senior Huang, rest assured. I always keep my promises. As long as Senior Huang and the other seniors can provide the necessary clues about the whereabouts of the Lord of Bai's Mansion, I, Xiao Mu, will definitely offer Divine Treasures as a token of gratitude."

"Of course, the seniors shouldn't try to deceive me with information already available to the Alliance, otherwise I, Xiao Xiao, will certainly not acknowledge it."

Unpleasant truths need to be stated upfront. The Divine Phoenix Woman had already agreed to make all existing clues related to the Lord of Bai's Mansion accessible to Xiao Mu, who naturally did not wish to pay for known information.

"Don't worry, I am not that disgraceful. I guarantee all the clues will be brand new, never before seen by the Alliance," Lv Liangping laughed heartily, patting Xiao Mu's shoulder amicably, his face showing a completely reassuring gesture.

Wei Lingxiao, Xu Jianan, Zun, and Huang Yuan also agreed, their words similar to those of Lv Liangping.

Xiao Mu was quite satisfied with everyone's promises and thought for a moment before adding, "After the seniors return, it wouldn't hurt to take stock and see what kind of treasures are needed, then let me, Xiao Xiao, know in advance so I can prepare accordingly."

"However, seniors, the value of the clues you provide is directly related to the importance of the information. Do not expect to exchange ordinary clues for Divine Spirit Treasures, Divine Spirit Tablets, etc., as that would be cheating me, and then I, Xiao Xiao, will certainly not acknowledge it."

Even though Xiao Mu said this with a smile, Zun and the others clearly did not think he was joking.

Following that, Xiao Mu continued, "Depending on the size of the clues provided by the seniors, the treasures I, Xiao Xiao, can offer will range from ordinary Divine Weapons and Treasures, Yin God Treasures, Divine Spirit Treasures, Yin God Tablets, Divine Spirit Tablets, up to True Divine Authority."

"Of course, for True Divine Authority, it will require specific information on the whereabouts of the Lord of Bai's Mansion, which I trust the seniors understand and wouldn't intentionally cheat me."

Everyone nodded; they naturally understood Xiao Mu's words.

The quality of the rewards naturally had to be measured based on the importance of the clues.

Lv Liangping laughed heartily, "Then it's settled like this. Xiao Xiao, remember your words. Once I return to the Three Emperors' Tomb, I will immediately make arrangements to find out about the whereabouts of the Lord of Bai's Mansion."

"Gentlemen, I will take my leave first. We shall meet again."

Having said that, the great leader of the Three Emperors' Tomb courteously clasped his hands towards everyone, then with a tip of his toes, a formation of cloud mist appeared under his feet, carrying him flying toward the west.

"This Old Lv, I had almost forgotten that he had cultivated the Riding Clouds and Mist Secret Manual."

As Xu Jianan watched Lv Liangping gradually disappear into the far sky, he exclaimed with envy.

In fact, whether it was Zun, Huang Yuan, or Wei Lingxiao, they all envied Lv Liangping's cultivation of the Riding Clouds and Mist Secret Manual.

However, such high-level manuals were too difficult to obtain. Xiao Mu only had one copy in his possession, leaving them nothing but empty envy.

"I also need to go back and arrange for people to search for Lord of Bai's Mansion," Xu Jianan said, saluting everyone and bidding farewell before implementing the Five Elements Escape Art to return to the Five Emperors' Mausoleum.

Subsequently, Wei Lingxiao and Huang Yuan also said their farewells, leaving only Xiao Mu and Zun behind at the scene.

Zun looked at Xiao Mu for a moment and suddenly sighed, "Xiao Xiao, your growth rate is truly astonishing. I hope that a year from now, we still have the opportunity to explore the Desolate together."

Zun's heartfelt exclamation revealed that Xiao Mu's growth had shocked him, making him worry whether he could still accompany Xiao Mu to explore the Desolate after a year.

Xiao Mu modestly exchanged a few words and politely said, "Exploring the Desolate naturally can't happen without senior's company. A year from now, I will still be in Divine Spirit Realm and alone I can't handle the True Gods of the Desolate."

What? From your words, you still intend to challenge the True Gods a year from now?

Zun, left speechless, gestured for Xiao Mu to return with him to the Great Tang Ruins.

Xiao Mu thought for a moment about Wu Jie and asked Zun to return first, as he had to search for Wu Jie.

He had asked Wu Jie to seal off the Great Tang Ruins to prevent Curse Ancestor, Funeral God, and the Five Elements True Lord from infiltrating, and by now, Wu Jie must still be unaware of what had happened within the Cuiyun Mountain Region, probably still guarding the border of the Ruins to stop Curse Ancestor, Funeral God, and the Five Elements True Lord.

The purpose of Xiao Mu's search for Wu Jie, apart from informing him of the incident within the ruins, was most importantly to relay the Divine Phoenix's words about providing all the Energy Fruits needed to break into the Divine Spirit Realm to him, asking Wu Jie to supply the Energy Fruits for him.

Once he had enough Energy Fruits to break into the Divine Spirit Realm, the first thing Xiao Mu would do was to seclude himself for cultivation, hoping to break into the Divine Spirit Realm as soon as possible.

Restricted by his Realm, his Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and Great Decree couldn't be upgraded further, affecting his authority, thus limiting the power he could exercise at the moment.

When encountering Divine Spirit powerhouses, Xiao Mu alone couldn't strip the Divine Treasures from them with his current authority.

However, once he stepped into the Divine Spirit Realm and further upgraded the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and Great Decree, enhancing the Emperor's Authority could very likely grant him the ability to strip Divine Treasures from Divine Spirits.

Even further, under enhanced Divine Authority, such as possessing a full set of City God's Divine Treasures, Xiao Mu even suspected whether he could use the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and Great Decree to strip the positions of Divine Spirit powerhouses.

Once he reached that point, he wouldn't have to worry about paying the rewards to Lv Liangping, Xu Jianan, Wei Lingxiao, Zun, and Huang Yuan.

Xiao Mu used the Five Elements Escape Art and continued southward. During his travel, he used his cellphone to contact Wu Jie, roughly explaining the events that had occurred inside the ruins, and arranged to meet Wu Jie at the border between the Nanhua Domain and Canglin Region.

After notifying Wu Jie, Xiao Mu realized that Wu Jie had already learned about the events in the Cuiyun Mountain Region from the Divine Phoenix and found out that the Divine Phoenix had already taken the cursed Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying to Headquarters for treatment.

Meeting with Wu Jie at the border of Nanhua Domain and Canglin Region, Xiao Mu detailed the events happening in the Cuiyun Mountain Region to him. On one hand, Wu Jie lamented the complexity of the Heavenly Court's turmoil five thousand years ago, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel sad about Qi Xie's death.

Qi Xie had been an elder of the Great Tang Ruins, and in terms of seniority, he was a veteran presence within the entire Alliance. His death at the hands of the Curse Ancestor was indeed regrettable.

But fortunately, only one soul and one spirit of Qi Xie had died, with two souls and six spirits lost out there; recovering Qi Xie's missing two souls and six spirits to revive him was not an impossible task.

Next, Xiao Mu took out the Curse Sword Divine Weapon that he had originally promised to Wu Jie and handed it over to him.

With the Curse Sword Divine Weapon in hand, Wu Jie was momentarily delighted, then he marveled at Xiao Mu's astonishing ability to find treasures, having brought out the corresponding divine weapon so soon after agreeing.

Later, mentioning the Energy Fruits promised by the Divine Phoenix, Wu Jie immediately agreed, saying that once they returned to the Great Tang Ruins, he would prepare them right away to help Xiao Mu break into the Divine Spirit Realm as quickly as possible.

"Chief, this time the grand chiefs from the Three Emperors' Tomb, Five Emperors' Mausoleum, and Yin Merchant Ruins came to support us. Afterward, I made commissions to them," Xiao Mu then spoke to Wu Jie about the commission to find the Lord of Bai's Mansion.
