"Greetings to Elder Xu, Elder Fang!"

In Xu Qianwu's office, Xiao Mu not only met Xu Qianwu but also Fang Ying.

The Stone Mill Spirit Plate was placed on Xu Qianwu's desk, and the two were discussing around it. Next to the Stone Mill Spirit Plate, at the upper-left corner of the desk, there was a thick stack of documents.

"Xiao Xiao, you're here, come over, come over!" Xu Qianwu laughed heartily and enthusiastically waved Xiao Mu over.

"Xiao Mu, your timing is perfect, just right to join us in researching the key to the treasure of the Treasure Vault built by Lord of Bai's Mansion."

Fang Ying smiled, though more reserved than Xu Qianwu, she invited Xiao Mu in the same manner to examine the Stone Mill Spirit Plate, which was the so-called Treasure Key.

"Thank you both, Elders. I came exactly for this key."

Xiao Mu made no fuss and quickly walked to the desk, bending down to carefully examine the Stone Mill Spirit Plate.

This Stone Mill Spirit Plate, however, still didn't reveal anything special, apart from the ancient textures that made Xiao Mu feel it was a Strange Treasure, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

"Xiao Xiao, see anything?" Xu Qianwu noticed Xiao Mu examining the Stone Mill Spirit Plate and teased as he asked.

Xiao Mu seized the opportunity to ask, "Is this a key?"

Xu Qianwu said with a smile, "It's a Treasure Key, the key that can unlock the Treasure Vault built by Lord of Bai's Mansion."

Treasure Key? Truly the key to the Treasure Vault? So, when the Curse Gate had sent people specially to the Land God Mansion in Cuiyun Mountain Region to find this key, it was to unlock the Treasure Vault of Lord of Bai's Mansion?

"Elder Xu, can you confirm this is truly the key to the Treasure Vault?" Xiao Mu asked, looking at Xu Qianwu with doubt.

Xu Qianwu laughed, "Absolutely certain. Xiao Xiao, here's the material on the construction of the Treasure Vault; just have a look and you'll know."

With that, he pushed the stack of documents at the upper-left corner of the table towards Xiao Mu.

So these were the records of the Treasure Vault.

Understanding, Xiao Mu took the documents, picking up the first page to read.

"Xiao Mu, there's a lot of material; you might want to focus on the key points."

Fang Ying smiled, tapped the documents, and explained, "We've marked the key parts with horizontal lines in the documents."

"Moreover, all these documents have been translated from Heavenly Ancient Text by the Consultant Office, so you don't need to worry about not understanding them."

"Thank you for the tip, Elder Fang!"

Xiao Mu sincerely thanked Fang Ying and began reading the documents.

"On March 11th of the Gui Wei year, Curse Gate was chaotic. The Mansion Lord personally led eight hundred divine beings to defeat the Curse Gate in the east region, seized their treasure and ordered me to store it in the east."

"On January 7th of the Jia Shen year, the Mansion Lord ordered me to search for remnants of the Curse Gate in the Cuiyun Mountain Region. We found six remnants and killed them, obtaining five treasures including one Flying Sword, two Divine Technique Secret Manuals, and two Divine Treasures."

"On December 15th of the Jia Shen year, the remaining Yin God of the Curse Gate, Zhu Fei, fled to the Cuiyun Mountain Region. The Mansion Lord commanded me to capture him. Found on the 18th, after a bloody battle, I killed Zhu Fei and obtained one Curse Armor from the Curse Gate's treasures."

"On March 7th of the Yiyou Year…"

"In February of the Bingxu Year…"

...

"On July 3rd of the Wuzi Year, Curse Ancestor entered the eastern region, even coming into my Cuiyun Mountain Region. This person is a True God, only the Mansion Lord in the eastern region could compete. Reported to the Mansion Lord, he expelled him."

"On September 13th of the Wuzi Year, Curse Ancestor healed from injury, came again, and the Mansion Lord expelled him once more…"

"On December 5th of the Wuzi Year, fearing that Curse Ancestor would come again to seize our treasures, I consulted the Mansion Lord to build a Treasure Vault under the Netherworld Spring, to seal the treasures obtained from Curse Gate at the bottom of the Netherworld Spring; the Mansion Lord approved on the 18th."

"On October 7th of the Gengshen Year, the Treasure Vault in Netherworld Spring was completed; the Mansion Lord bestowed Spirit Stones, forged a Treasure Key, and sealed it with the Great Array…"

Subsequent records included the blueprint of the Netherworld Spring Treasure Vault, types of the Great Array, and the pattern of the Treasure Key.

Xiao Mu scrutinized the pattern of the Treasure Key and found that it was identical to that of the Stone Mill Spirit Plate, with no differences whatsoever.

Curse Gate? Curse Ancestor?

No wonder the Curse Gate had always been active in the South Five Regions; it appears the great war between the Curse Gate and eastern region that year took place in the South Five Regions.

So, was the Curse Gate's appearance in the South Five Regions very likely in pursuit of their sect's prized treasures?

Netherworld Spring? Was this content recorded by the Earth God of the Cuiyun Mountain Region?

Thinking of Netherworld Spring, Xiao Mu's thoughts stirred, and he couldn't help but ask, "Was this content recorded by the Earth God of the Cuiyun Mountain Region?"

Fang Ying nodded, "Yes, Ge Xie, the Ge Earth God. Yes, that's the Earth God of Cuiyun Mountain Region you mentioned. Elder Xu and I are trying to figure out exactly where this Netherworld Spring is."

"Netherworld Spring? Elder Fang, Elder Xu, are you looking for Netherworld Spring?"

Xiao Mu appeared visibly surprised, his expression quite unusual.

"What? Xiao Mu, you know about Netherworld Spring?" Fang Ying's face showed a sharp reaction, catching something from Xiao Mu's tone.

"Xiao Xiao, you've been to Netherworld Spring?" Xu Qianwu looked up at Xiao Mu, guessing with a quirky expression.

"Elders Fang and Xu, if nothing unexpected, I actually do know where Netherworld Spring is located."

Xiao Mu's face showed a mischievous smile, feeling the coincidence was a bit too much.

His first visit to the Land God Mansion in the Cuiyun Mountain Region had led him underground to Netherworld Spring.

"You even know about Netherworld Spring? Haha!" Xu Qianwu was overjoyed, and, grabbing Xiao Mu's arm excitedly, he said, "I knew it; good things happen whenever you show up, young man. Quick, tell us, where is Netherworld Spring?"
