"Last time, it was this Silver Sword that blocked our path, preventing further exploration. This time, I hope you all have successfully found a way to conceal life and death."

Leading the way, Senior Zun turned his head back slowly, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Mu and Huang Yuan.

Huang Yuan said, "I found a Treasure, made from the skin of a deceased Divine Spirit. Wearing it can conceal life and death, surely deceiving the Silver Sword."

"What about you, Xiao?"

Senior Zun looked towards Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu said, "Senior Zun, I have cultivated the 'Hidden Life Technique.' Once deployed, it can conceal life and death, and I believe it can deceive the Silver Sword as well."

"Excellent!"

Senior Zun's face showed delight, "All of you have methods to conceal life and death, and I am no exception. I have obtained a Strange Treasure, the Conceal Life Flag, which also can conceal life and death. It seems we might pass through the Silver Sword with ease this time."

The trio was secretly pleased. Behind the Silver Sword, treasures must be present, especially that Blood Paper House. Even without entering, one could tell from this side of the Silver Sword that treasures must be there.

"Huang Yuan, would you go first?"

Senior Zun looked towards Huang Yuan, discussing and letting him cross the Silver Sword first.

At that moment, the voice of Wu De, the Divine Monarch, suddenly echoed in Xiao Mu's Divine Sense. He seemed to recognize the origin of the Silver Sword, incredibly shocked, "A paper sword, this is a paper sword!"

"A plain paper sword, why is its power so formidable? Who made this? Who placed a paper sword on the Reincarnation Path?"

Xiao Mu was shocked. Was this Silver Sword made of ordinary paper?

Who had such great power to hang an ordinary paper sword at a vital pass in the Reincarnation Path, not only blocking the path but also rendering the common paper sword capable of slaying everything?

Huang Yuan nodded, responding, "I should go first. I have neither cultivated the Life Force nor the Power of Creation; in case of injury, you will still have the chance to rescue."

Elder Zun instructed, "Be very careful!"

Huang Yuan nodded, pulling out a black object resembling a raincoat from his body, and draped it over himself with a light shake.

Once this black raincoat-like item was on him, it completely covered his body as if merging with him. At that moment, all signs of life disappeared from Huang Yuan; there was no presence of death either, as if he ceased to exist.

The refined skin of the Divine Spirit, no doubt was a Treasure of Life and Death; the skin's owner in life most definitely was a powerful cultivator of the Power of Life and Death.

Huang Yuan walked slowly towards the area beneath the Silver Sword, his nerves on edge, yet his steps were not slow, swiftly passing by several Yin Spirits and arriving at the spot below the Silver Sword.

Xiao Mu and Senior Zun's hearts were raised, immensely nervous.

But fortunately, the skin of the Divine Spirit obtained by Huang Yuan was effective. Ultimately, he passed under the Silver Sword safely, without any incidents.

Huang Yuan, having successfully crossed, turned back and waved at Xiao Mu and Senior Zun, signaling them to come over.

"I'll go first, Xiao, you cross last!"

Senior Zun glanced back at Xiao Mu and took out a small black triangular flag from his Storage Bag.

This small flag was not large, only about thirty centimeters tall including the flagpole, with the flag itself being approximately fifteen centimeters in height and less than twenty centimeters wide – just a miniature flag.

But despite its size, the flag body was covered in Divine Textures of Life and Death, filled with an immense Power of Life and Death; black and white light intertwined, with the Two Forces of Life and Death diffusing around the flag's edges.

Senior Zun held the small flag, gave it a light shake, and it unfurled, releasing a swirl of black and white mist, enveloping him.

Senior Zun, holding the small flag, walked safely under the Silver Sword.

While Senior Zun was crossing under the Silver Sword, Xiao Mu took the opportunity to inquire with Wu De, the Divine Monarch, "Senior, have you recognized the origin of this Silver Sword?"

"I can't recognize it!"

Wu De, the Divine Monarch, spoke in a tone filled with dejection, apparently holding deep reverence and wariness for the owner of the Silver Sword, "This person's strength is too great, far beyond mine. A mere sword made from ordinary paper has blocked the Reincarnation Path, it's not something ordinary people can achieve, not even an Emperor might be capable."

"So, the person behind the paper sword is at least an Emperor?" Xiao Mu was astonished beyond belief at Wu De's words.

Beyond an Emperor's existence, who could it be? The Heavenly Emperor?

Wu De continued, "At least an Emperor, but exactly who, I do not know. See that black hole above the Silver Sword? It's a vortex created by a sacrificial incense burner. This person used the paper sword to block the Reincarnation Path, slaying Yin Souls, converting them to Power, to Incense Fire strength for his own absorption."

"I conclude that this person might be injured. The paper sword blocks the Reincarnation Path, kills Yin Souls, only to heal himself."

"Injured? Such a powerful being can be injured?" Wu De's words shocked Xiao Mu even more.

A being capable of using an ordinary paper sword to cut off the Reincarnation Path, slaying all passing Yin Souls, could also be injured? Who could injure him? Who has the power to harm him?

"I'm not sure myself, it's merely speculation. This person's abilities, at the very least, are those of an Emperor, and possibly even beyond."

Wu De's tone carried deep reverence, hinting at his wariness of the paper sword's mysterious owner, "Young Xiao, you must be cautious; the enemies you face in the future might be beyond your imagination."

"Above an Emperor, are there even more powerful beings?"

Xiao Mu couldn't comprehend who might be more powerful than an Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor perhaps?

"I'm also unsure who it is, this might be a terrifying existence I have never encountered before. Anyway, you must be careful. Also, when you pass below, store me in your Storage Space."
