"Xiao Mu, upon your return to the Eastern Realm, you must hasten to find Bai Jing. Otherwise, without sufficient power, you might not be able to withstand the intrusion of the strong from the Heavenly Court."
"Moreover, Bai Jing carries many secrets, even I cannot see through him. Should you find him, he might have a way to stop the entry of the Heavenly Court."
Xiao Mu nodded, feeling that the words of Divine Monarch Miaoyi were highly reasonable, then asked, "Don't you plan to go out, senior? The Eastern Realm needs you."
Divine Monarch Miaoyi said, "There is no need, what is left of me is but remnants, and my strength isn't nearly what it was at my peak. Facing a True God, I would not stand a chance, and going out wouldn't help; instead, I will stay and focus on repairing the Reincarnation Path."
"Xiao Mu, come here, I have something to tell you alone."
As he spoke, he glanced at the Jade Plate on Xiao Mu's waist and walked toward the depths of the City of the Unjustly Dead.
Divine Monarch Wu De muttered discontentedly, "Sneaking around, Miaoyi, you're no saint either, thinking I'd care to hear what you have to say? Xiao kid, put me down and go with him."
"Excuse me!"
Xiao Mu apologized, put down the Jade Plate, and pursued Divine Monarch Miaoyi.
"What is it that you need to instruct in private, senior?" Xiao Mu bent slightly towards Divine Monarch Miaoyi.
"With the Heavenly Court in turmoil and the Eastern Realm in peril, and Bai Jing missing, Xiao Mu, I suggest you release Wu De," sighed Divine Monarch Miaoyi, turning around and setting his eyes on Xiao Mu.
Release Divine Monarch Wu De?
Xiao Mu was surprised by Divine Monarch Miaoyi's suggestion, and he quickly asked, "Senior, is Divine Monarch Wu De friend or foe?"
Divine Monarch Miaoyi calmly said, "It's hard to say whether friend or foe, Wu De cherishes freedom, avoids constraints, and has always been an adversary of the Heavenly Court. Initially, when the Heavenly Court was in chaos, Bai Jing, fearing an accident, preemptively sealed him."
"To say that he would wholeheartedly help the Eastern Realm is unlikely, but if there's one who is his prime enemy, it is undoubtedly the Heavenly Court rather than the Eastern Realm."
"Given the simultaneous presence of the Heavenly Court and the Eastern Realm, Wu De would certainly prioritize confronting the Heavenly Court."
"Besides, if you are worried about losing control over Wu De after his release, I could lend you a hand."
Xiao Mu's biggest concern was indeed losing control over Divine Monarch Wu De after his release. Hearing this, he exclaimed joyously, "Senior, do you have a way to control Divine Monarch Wu De?"
Divine Monarch Miaoyi nodded with a smile and asked, "Did Wu De tell you how he can be released?"
"He asked me to build a temple for him."
Xiao Mu responded and then repeated the method Divine Monarch Wu De had told him about building a temple to release him.
"Correct, building a temple is the best way."
The method Divine Monarch Miaoyi knew for releasing Divine Monarch Wu De matched what Wu De had told him, "I will gift you a talisman and pass on to you a chant."
"If you are concerned about Wu De betraying and losing control after his release, incorporate the talisman into the divine statue during its creation."
"If Wu De betrays and loses control, just recite the chant I have taught you."
Xiao Mu was delighted, asking, "Divine Monarch Miaoyi, what will happen after the chant is recited?"
Divine Monarch Miaoyi said, "Once the chant is recited, it will explode within Wu De's body, destroying the divine form you created for him."
"However, instead of returning to the sealed Jade Plate, Wu De will be utterly obliterated."
"Therefore, using the chant should be a last resort, best wielded with caution."
Xiao Mu's expression turned solemn, "Thank you for the warning, senior. I will be careful with its use."
Divine Monarch Miaoyi took out a piece of Yellow Paper used to fold a Yellow Paper Crane, quickly folded it a few times, turning it into a talismanic triangle shape in his hands.
He then lightly tapped the talisman, infusing it with streams of Spiritual Energy, and the surface of the talisman immediately gained some mystical patterns, starting to faintly glow with Spiritual Light.
"This is a Demigod Destruction Talisman. Keep it cautiously, make sure Wu De does not see it, and quietly incorporate it into the divine figure."
As he spoke, Divine Monarch Miaoyi handed the talisman to Xiao Mu.
"Yes, thank you, senior!"
Xiao Mu expressed his gratitude, solemnly took the talisman, took out a storage box, and placed it inside the box, then it resembled the Earth Seal Space.
In this way, even if he placed the Black Jade Plate of Wu De Divine Monarch into the Earth Seal Space, he wouldn't have to worry about it seeing the talisman.
Miaoyi Emperor stared at Xiao Mu for a moment, "Young Xiao Mu, I perceive that the secrets of heaven are concealed around you. Have you entered the Reincarnation Path in search of something that can conceal Heaven's secrets?"
He guessed right!
Xiao Mu was surprised that Miaoyi Emperor had seen through his concealment of Heaven's secrets and nodded, "Senior's guess is correct, I did enter the Reincarnation Path to find something that can conceal Heaven's secrets."
Miaoyi Emperor regretfully said, "The object that conceals Heaven's secrets originated from me. If I were intact, there would be as many of these things as one wanted. It's a pity that I am already dead, with only a trace of lingering thoughts left."
"I should still have some of these objects in my possession, but not many. You can take them all."
As Miaoyi Emperor spoke, he somehow took out two red stones and a yellow Dao Talisman from his person and gave them to Xiao Mu.
The two red stones were only the size of a palm, and holding them felt cool and invigorating.
The red stones are natural objects, while the yellow Dao Talisman should have been made.
Xiao Mu hastily expressed his thanks, "Thank you for your generous gift, senior. I will not refuse!"
He was in desperate need of the objects that conceal Heaven's secrets and took them without hesitation.
"Don't mention it!" Miaoyi Emperor replied with a smile.
"Are you done talking?"
As soon as the two returned, the voice of Wu De Divine Monarch emerged from the Black Jade Plate.
"Wu De, I've discussed with young Xiao Mu and told him to try to build you a temple to release you once he's back," Miaoyi Emperor said, looking at the Black Jade Plate.
"Miaoyi, would you really be so kind-hearted? Speak, what do you want?" Wu De Divine Monarch sounded as if he didn't quite trust Miaoyi Emperor.
Miaoyi Emperor smiled, "Wu De, you are very clever, indeed, I do have a request. After releasing you, you must help the Eastern Domain oppose the Heavenly Court, and also help Xiao Mu find Bai Jing."
Wu De Divine Monarch exclaimed, "Opposing the Heavenly Court is fine, but searching for Bai Jing isn't acceptable. Change the condition, Bai Jing imprisoned me for fifty thousand years, I am irreconcilable with him."
"Hmm, no, I might help search for Bai Jing, but once found, I must battle him immediately."
As he spoke, Wu De Divine Monarch changed his mind.
"Ahem!"
Miaoyi Emperor coughed to hint, "Wu De, don't forget that you are not a match for Bai Jing. If he could imprison you once, he could do it a second time."
"So what?" Wu De Divine Monarch said a bit awkwardly, stubbornly.
Miaoyi Emperor also seemed to feel it was unreliable to have Wu De Divine Monarch help find Bai Jing, so he changed his mind, "Alright then, Wu De, never mind about searching for Bai Jing. As a reward for releasing you, how about you help the Eastern Domain oppose the Heavenly Court?"
Wu De Divine Monarch immediately responded, "That's no problem at all. Even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would still oppose the Heavenly Court."
"Since that is settled, then there's no issue. Once you are out of here, Xiao Mu will quickly build a temple to release you. Xiao Mu, isn't that right?"
Miaoyi Emperor spoke and then looked inquiringly at Xiao Mu.
"Miaoyi Senior is right. Wu De Senior, once out of here, I will build a temple as quickly as possible to release you," Xiao Mu told the Black Jade Plate.
"While it's good that you are releasing me, I still feel like I'm being plotted against," Wu De Divine Monarch muttered quietly.
"Young Xiao Mu, you can continue exploring other areas of the Reincarnation Path. Don't proceed any further along the route through the City of the Unjustly Dead as I am guarding it," Miaoyi Emperor said, pointing to a Netherlord's Treasure on the ground.
This set of treasures encapsulates the authority of the Netherlord; take them and provide them to those who need them,"
"I am injured and still need to mend the Reincarnation Path; I'm unable to help in the external conflict. This Netherlord's authority can be considered as my contribution to the Eastern Domain."
