Black light! Golden Winged Crow!

Xiao Mu felt astonished and incredulous within his heart. Huang Yuan's words seemed utterly unbelievable. In the Ancient Wilderness, could a crow actually have injured both Senior Zun and Huang Yuan?

Senior Zun was not disheartened; instead, he spoke with anticipation, "Although we were injured by the Golden Winged Crow, Old Huang and I were not disappointed. On the Reincarnation Path, discovering such a place is actually lucky for us. Both Old Huang and I plan to return to explore it once our strength has increased."

"Is it for the Divine Power of authority in the Wilderness Tomb?"

Xiao Mu keenly detected the purpose of Senior Zun and Huang Yuan.

"Yes!"

Senior Zun nodded seriously, "Even if it's just for the Divine Power in the Wilderness Tomb, Old Huang and I won't give up exploring—not to mention, that piece of the Ancient Wilderness might still be hiding other, bigger secrets."

"Xiao Mu, if you do not wish to explore with us, we will not force you."

"After all, the creatures of the Ancient Wilderness are very powerful. A mere crow could injure both Huang Yuan and me, and your cultivation is still shallow, your strength too low—it's not necessary for you to explore such a dangerous place."

Senior Zun spoke very sincerely, showing no intention of forcing Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu fell into thought. If the Ancient Wilderness was indeed as powerful as Senior Zun described, he truly did not wish to casually enter and explore it.

However, thinking about the Wilderness Tomb in the Ancient Wilderness that Senior Zun and Huang Yuan mentioned, Xiao Mu couldn't help but think of the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

He was entrusted by Emperor Miaoyi to locate the Lord of Bai's Mansion, and now that he had found a possible clue related to him, how could he remain indifferent?

Moreover, even if the Emperor Miaoyi had not tasked him, just for his own sake, Xiao Mu wanted to find the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

The whereabouts of the Lord of Bai's Mansion involved the secret of how the Human world could resist the Heavenly Court.

The Human world's seals prevented strong beings from the Heavenly Court from entering, which was likely inseparable from the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

Finding the Lord of Bai's Mansion almost meant finding a way to help the Human world resist the Heavenly Court.

This undoubtedly represented a major turn for Xiao Mu, who was suffering from the watchful eyes of the Heavenly Court.

He immediately said, "Senior Zun, Senior Huang, I am willing to explore the Ancient Wilderness with you. The next time you go to the Ancient Wilderness, please be sure to take me with you."

"Xiao kid, knowing the dangers of the Ancient Wilderness yet daring to explore, you are truly courageous!" Huang Yuan rarely complimented Xiao Mu, and even his praise sounded a bit like a backhanded compliment.

Senior Zun dismissively advised, "Xiao Mu, you don't need to force yourself, and there's no need to explore the Ancient Wilderness just for the sake of pride."

"The Ancient Wilderness is too dangerous, and your strength is still low; we won't blame you even if you don't come."

"Although I hope very much that you will explore the Ancient Wilderness with us, as it would increase our strength and the success rate of our exploration, I still suggest you think carefully before making a decision."

Xiao Mu did not expect Senior Zun to advise him against exploring the Ancient Wilderness, he smiled and said firmly, "Senior Zun, I appreciate your concern. But I have my own reasons for exploring the Ancient Wilderness, so I will not give up on exploring it."

"Since that's the case, I will say no more. The next time we go to explore the Ancient Wilderness, I'll call you."

Senior Zun looked at Xiao Mu with surprise, silently guessing the reason why Xiao Mu insisted on exploring the Ancient Wilderness, but he did not press further.

"Ancient Wilderness, Ancient Wilderness, I know now, Xiao kid, I know what they mean by the Ancient Wilderness."

Wu De, using his divine sense, whispered to himself suddenly realizing something and became excited.

Xiao Mu was moved and, worrying that Senior Zun and Huang Yuan would learn about the existence of Wu De, did not ask but listened intently to what Wu De was about to say, because he knew that whenever Wu De spoke up, it would be accompanied by a detailed explanation.

Sure enough, Wu De immediately said, "It is said that among the three paths on the Reincarnation Path, only one is the true Reincarnation Path, while the other two lead one to the Heavenly Court and the other to the Far Wilderness."

"These two young fellows must have followed the path that leads to the Far Wilderness, and the Ancient Wilderness they mentioned must indeed refer to the legendary Far Wilderness."

The Far Wilderness?

Xiao Mu's mind stirred. Was there really such a place?

But listening further to Wu De, "It is said the Far Wilderness is at the origin of life and the end of death, being a place not fully evolved at the time of world creation, hence it still retains the aura of Primordial Desolation and Chaos Creation."

"In the era of Primordial Desolation, as Chaos Creation began, this realm gave birth to countless mighty beings, some of whom even the Heavenly Court had to be wary of."

"At the same time, this Heaven and Earth is the only place the Heavenly Court cannot extend its authoritative gaze."

"Xiao Mu, I have no objections to you wanting to explore such places, but you must remain cautious, as the strength and dangers of the Ancient Wilderness far exceed your imagination."

"In the Ancient Wilderness, not to mention Divine Spirits, even True Gods, Heavenly Gods, and possibly the Heavenly Emperor himself might perish."

Finally, Wu De the Divine Monarch warned Xiao Mu to be cautious when facing the Ancient Wilderness.

Yet, who would have expected these words to only fuel Xiao Mu's interest in exploring the Ancient Wilderness more?

Even the Heavenly Emperor might perish?

A flash of divine light passed through Xiao Mu's eyes, making him feel that the Ancient Wilderness was indeed a place that must be explored, for only then would there be hope of contending against the Heavenly Emperor.

"Xiao Mu, have you not encountered the Netherlord from beyond the heavens?" Huang Yuan thought of the Netherlord and felt it odd.

That Xiao Mu could stay at the crossroads waiting for him and Senior Zun to return, wasn't he afraid of the Netherlord pursuing him?

He didn't believe that the Netherlord would inexplicably give up pursuing him, Huang Yuan, and Xiao Mu.

"Yes, Xiao Mu, why didn't we see the Netherlord? Didn't he pursue you?"

Senior Zun also felt puzzled; the Netherlord didn't pursue him and Huang Yuan, nor did he pursue Xiao Mu? That was too abnormal.

"Senior Zun, Senior Huang, indeed, I have encountered the Netherlord. He entered the right fork and pursued me all the way..." Xiao Mu began to explain from the beginning.

Senior Zun's face changed, unable to contain himself; he interrupted Xiao Mu, "Xiao Mu, you were pursued by the Netherlord? How did you escape?"

He didn't believe that Xiao Mu had the ability to escape from the Netherlord's clutches; the strength of that celestial being was too overpowering, even he and Huang Yuan combined were no match, how could Xiao Mu have escaped?

Huang Yuan's face showed surprise as he exclaimed, "Pursued by the Netherlord, and you didn't die, Xiao Mu?"

Xiao Mu understood what the two were thinking and hurriedly explained, "Senior Zun, Senior Huang, the Netherlord did indeed pursue me, but he has retreated."

Retreated?

Both Senior Zun and Huang Yuan were visibly more surprised.

Huang Yuan found it unbelievable, but Senior Zun quickly connected the dots, "Xiao Xiao, could it be that you experienced a strange encounter, otherwise how could the Netherlord have retreated?"

He didn't believe that with Xiao Mu's strength, he could make the Netherlord retreat; it must be orchestrated by some miraculous encounter.

"Senior Zun guessed it right."

Xiao Mu smiled and narrated his escape journey and how he met the Emperor Miaoyi, who then stripped the Netherlord of his domain and drove him away.

"Emperor Miaoyi, that is a legendary existence!"

Senior Zun sighed, "I hadn't expected in the Reincarnation Path, there still exists a Heavenly God-level powerhouse. Xiao Mu, you are indeed lucky to have met a Heavenly God."

"What a pity!"

Huang Yuan shook his head in regret and sighed, "It's a pity that what remains of Emperor Miaoyi is only remnants, otherwise, it would have been a great aid to the Human world."

"A Heavenly God-level mighty being, if he were to go out, who could be a match? What celestial beings from beyond the heavens would dare to confront directly?"

Both of them were aware of the might of a Heavenly God; Emperor Miaoyi, the second-ranked Heavenly God in the Heavenly Court, was possibly a being more powerful than the Human Emperor.

Such a mighty being, once present in the Human world, at least until beings of the level of Heavenly God and Heavenly Emperor descended, the Human world would be absolutely safe, with no Divine Spirits, not even True Gods daring to offend.

Unfortunately, this Heavenly God was injured, leaving only remnants behind.

The strength of these remnants would undoubtedly have significantly diminished, and whether this remaining strength could reach the True God Level was uncertain.
