"No wonder!"

The Undying Evil Ancestor curled his lip in disdain, "Do you really think the Undying Divine Sovereign is dead? That's just information released to the outside world."

"In fact, the Undying Divine Sovereign simply committed suicide. His body died outside of your Eastern Realm, but his flesh and blood have been brought into the Eastern Realm by the Funeral God, intending to revive there."

The Undying Divine Sovereign faking death and using his flesh and blood to resurrect in the Eastern Realm?

Even Xiao Mu, who was usually composed, couldn't help but change his expression abruptly. The information revealed by the Undying Evil Ancestor was far beyond his expectations.

The Undying Evil Ancestor looked at Xiao Mu with pity and continued, "Your Eastern Realm is covered by a Great Array. Now, only Divine Spirits can enter. True Gods and those above True Gods cannot enter."

"Fifty thousand years ago, the Undying Divine Sovereign of the Life and Death Sect not only had the Life and Death Seal taken away by the Lord of White Mansion, but he was also severely injured by him."

"The Undying Divine Sovereign, having lost his authority and facing aggravating wounds, saw his strength diminish. However, as he was unable to retrieve the Life and Death Seal, his injuries could never heal."

"So he planned to fake his death, letting the Funeral God carry his flesh into the Eastern Realm, to be reborn and recover the Life and Death Seal."

"The Undying Divine Sovereign was once a True God. If he is allowed to successfully revive in the Eastern Realm, who among you could stand against him?"

"Even if he is injured, even if he has lost the Life and Death Seal and the Divine Power of a True God. After all, he was once a True God."

"A person who was once a True God, even if his strength has deteriorated to that of a Divine Spirit, could any of you in the Eastern Realm withstand him?"

Xiao Mu's expression changed slightly again.

Because the plan of the Undying Divine Sovereign seemed feasible to him.

After all, he had recently cultivated the Divine Technique of the Life and Death Sect—the Undying Divine Body—possessing the same Revive from Death ability as the Undying Divine Sovereign.

"Undying Divine Body?" Xiao Mu uttered the name of the technique unconsciously.

"You actually know of the Undying Divine Body, yes, it is the Undying Divine Body," the Undying Evil Ancestor nodded, slightly surprised that Xiao Mu knew about it, but he didn't ask how Xiao Mu came to know this.

After all, he had already seen several Divine Techniques of the Life and Death Sect on Xiao Mu.

"The Undying Divine Sovereign was once a True God, and though his strength deteriorated after the injury, he still retained considerable strength—at least equivalent to half a True God."

"Half a True God, technically, should not be able to break through the seals to enter the Eastern Realm at this time, but the cultivation of the Undying Divine Body allows him to resurrect in the Eastern Realm through his feigned death."

Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Mu's expression shifted slightly, "You said the Funeral God has brought the flesh and blood of the Undying Divine Sovereign into our Eastern Realm?"

"Yes, it was the Funeral God," the Undying Evil Ancestor nodded.

Xiao Mu said, "Can you recognize the scent of the Undying Divine Sovereign's flesh and blood?"

"The scent of the Undying Divine Sovereign's flesh and blood, how could I recognize it? However, upon seeing it, I may have some impression," the Undying Evil Ancestor shook his head doubtfully, not understanding why Xiao Mu was asking this question.

"Then take a look, is this pendant filled with the scent of the Undying Divine Sovereign?"

As he spoke, Xiao Mu took out a black jade pendant from the Earth Seal Space and tossed it to the Undying Evil Ancestor.

"The scent of the Undying Divine Sovereign? What's this?" The Undying Evil Ancestor received the black jade pendant with a puzzled look and observed it for a moment before tossing it back to Xiao Mu, shaking his head, "I can't recognize it. The scent inside feels odd to me; it may not be the Undying Divine Sovereign, but I cannot be certain."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu was somewhat disappointed and casually stowed the black jade pendant back into the Earth Seal Space, yet he couldn't help but suspect that it was indeed related to the Undying Divine Sovereign.

The blood inside the pendant was also likely that of the Undying Divine Sovereign.

What puzzled him was that the black jade pendant containing the Undying Divine Sovereign's blood should logically be in the possession of the Funeral God, so how did the craftsman He Qingjun come to pick it up?

"This old ghost Undying actually used fake death to enter the Eastern Realm; even I was deceived!"

The sigh of Divine Monarch Wu De came from the black jade plate, transmitting to Xiao Mu, "Xiao kid, ask him what the conditions for cooperation with Emperor Xuanding are."

Xiao Mu silently nodded and inquired, "I want to know, what are the conditions for cooperation with Emperor Xuanding?"

The corners of the Undying Evil Ancestor's mouth carried a hint of satisfaction as he replied, "It's simple. The Emperor can provide some assistance to your Eastern Realm, but he wants the Life and Death Seal."

The Life and Death Seal?

Emperor Xuanding wants the Life and Death Seal, possibly to gather all of the Authority of Life and Death.

At this moment, Divine Monarch Wu De suddenly reminded Xiao Mu, "The Authority of Life and Death is divided; with the Life and Death Seal in the hands of the Undying Divine Sovereign, Emperor Xuanding does not have full control over the Authority of Life and Death. Among the four emperors, his strength is also the weakest."

"Gathering the full Authority of Life and Death could enhance Emperor Xuanding's power, allowing him to contend with the other three emperors."

So that's how it is!

The transmission from Divine Monarch Wu De cleared up many things for Xiao Mu. No wonder Emperor Xuanding sought to cooperate with the human world; his goal was to gather all of the Authority of Life and Death.

Looking at the Undying Evil Ancestor, "You speak vaguely, only saying Emperor Xuanding will provide some help, but you don't specify what that help entails, hardly enough to show sincerity in this cooperation."

The Undying Evil Ancestor asked, "What kind of sincerity do you want?"

Xiao Mu laughed, "At least you should tell me what kind of help Emperor Xuanding will provide us. Against True Gods? Heavenly Gods? Emperor Taijia?"

The Undying Evil Ancestor pondered for a moment. "I cannot answer that question, but Emperor Xuanding is at odds with Emperor Taijia, and Emperor Taijia is currently the principal at Heavenly Court."
