Time passed little by little.

After two hours, the Divine Power emanating from the long staff finally stopped increasing, and its state stabilized.

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of turbid air, and he quickly circulated his Primordial Power, enhancing his defensive power to the utmost.

Then, he grabbed the long staff, hurriedly placing numerous seals on it to seal the staff.

After a while, once he confirmed that the staff was truly sealed, only then did Divine Sense enter into the staff.

However, no matter how his Divine Sense tried to penetrate the staff, he still couldn't find the reason for the sudden explosion of Divine Power previously.

There was no presence of any Artifact Spirit inside the staff; his Divine Sense searched every part of it.

Yet, no matter how he searched, he still couldn't find the reason for the sudden explosion of Divine Power from the staff.

"It seems that if there really is a mystery inside this staff, with my current capabilities, I'm probably unable to see through the mystery inside the staff!"

He thought for a while, and then he came up with this possibility.

In his previous life, he had heard that there are many treasures that unless one could find their mystery, they appeared no different from ordinary treasures on the surface.

In general, trying to uncover the mystery of such extraordinary treasures is no easy feat.

"If there is something magical about this staff, it is that there are some carvings on its back, but these carvings look extremely ordinary, with nothing peculiar about them!"

He pondered for a while, and finally gave up thinking about what mystery the staff might hold.

He held the staff in his hand, feeling that the staff was very handy.

"It seems I should take this staff to practice with!"

With a movement of his mind, Duan Gujin carried the staff and walked out of his room to practice in the courtyard.

"This staff contains strong Divine Power; practicing like this won't trigger its internal Divine Power!"

After thinking for a while, Duan Gujin felt that he should head to an area with more Demon Beasts tomorrow to practice with the staff.

The next day, Duan Gujin eagerly went to the base of Blood Killing Sect mountain, where he began practicing with the staff.

That previous night outside his courtyard, he had not channeled Primordial Power into the staff.

He feared that the staff would unleash terrifying Divine Power and destroy his courtyard.

It wouldn't matter if his courtyard was destroyed.

But if this attracted the attention of the Inner Sect elders from the Blood Killing Sect, that would be troubling, and he wouldn't know how to explain it then.

With his current Divine Sense manifesting externally, confirming that there was nobody nearby, he then began to infuse Primordial Power into the staff.

He wanted to completely unleash the staff's power to see how powerful it truly was.

The whistling of the wind was endless.

Duan Gujin swung the staff in his hand, constantly transforming it into flashes of light.

His Divine Sense locked onto a huge rock in front, then he channeled Primordial Power into the staff, shouted loudly, and drove all the Primordial Power in his body, transferring that power through the staff.

With a thunderous boom, the giant rock in front was turned into ashes by the power he unleashed.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath and then drank a drop of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk.

Within less than 15 minutes, both his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power were fully restored, and he was in his Peak State again.

Although he had just used the staff to blast the giant rock into ashes, he understood that he still couldn't determine what Superpower the staff possessed.

He wanted to know if the staff was extremely sturdy; he also wanted to know what Superpower the staff possessed.

To find out the secret of the staff, he could only fully stimulate its power, and perhaps he could take this opportunity to see its secrets.

Thus, Duan Gujin decided to soar into the sky.

This time, he infused Primordial Power into the staff and then descended from above, aiming the tip of the staff at the ground below.

A loud "peng" sounded, and the staff blasted a big hole into the ground.

Duan Gujin examined the big pit and discovered that the soil inside had turned into ashes.

He thought about it and felt there was nothing special.

"It seems I still haven't unlocked the secret of this staff."

Duan Gujin tried several times, but he didn't make any new discoveries.

Helpless, he had no choice but to put away the staff and head to a nearby city.

Next, his task was to investigate the situation of the skeleton.

In that city, there were places specifically providing intelligence for Martial Artists.

Duan Gujin spent one thousand Jiuzhou coins there to purchase the most recent three days of information about the skeleton.

However, having read the information, Duan Gujin shook his head and sighed—there was nothing new in the information.

Seeing Duan Gujin's expression, the person responsible for selling the information knew that he was not satisfied with the intelligence they offered.

Thus, that person inquired what kind of information Duan Gujin was looking for.

With a thought, Duan Gujin described his previous sighting of the skeleton, telling the person in charge. He wanted to find out what kind of demon could exist in this world.

The information sold to him by that person was everything that had happened since the 'Mud Man' appeared.

After hearing Duan Gujin's account, the person in charge gathered his subordinates to start investigating similar demons for Duan Gujin.

For this, Duan Gujin spent another one thousand Jiuzhou coins, but he wasn't sure if the intelligence seller was trustworthy.

Yet to him, one thousand Jiuzhou coins was just trivial; he didn't care.

Initially, he thought there wouldn't be any findings.

Unexpectedly, the next day, he received a report from the intelligence seller.

"According to our investigation, inside the Hundred Saints Mountain, there is a type of Devil Clan named Flying Golden Sparrow, a creature that can change its size at will, naturally possessing a pair of wings. A long time ago, there was a legend about a Flying Golden Sparrow that had Deviated. After it Deviated, it devoured a large number of people from the Human Clan, absorbing their Essence Blood to enhance its Cultivation. As it had consumed the lives of many from the Human Clan, it eventually provoked the retribution of Upper Realm Divine Beings, and the Upper Realm dispatched master Divine Beings to imprison the Flying Golden Sparrow in a certain place. Only then was Jiuzhou Continent spared from disaster."

Reading the information, Duan Gujin furrowed his brows deeply.

In some Classics provided by the Blood Killing Sect, there were records of the Flying Golden Sparrow, so the name wasn't unfamiliar to him.

But if that was the case, did it mean that he had released the Flying Golden Sparrow that had been imprisoned by the Upper Realm Divine Beings?

If the Flying Golden Sparrow had escaped from its chains, it would surely bring a calamity to Jiuzhou Continent.

Duan Gujin gasped, his heart chilled, thinking: could he really have brought a calamity upon Jiuzhou Continent?
