Xiao Mu left the Data Room and headed to the Daoist Temple of the third leader, Chen Fengshen.

The demeanor of the third leader, Chen Fengshen, was still the same as before. Even within his own Daoist Temple, he bore no airs of divinity, appearing just as an ordinary person.

Upon Xiao Mu's arrival, Chen Fengshen personally came out to greet him, "Xiao Xiao, what brings you to my place? Welcome, welcome!"

"I pay my respects to the third leader!" Xiao Mu greeted Chen Fengshen with a fist-and-palm salute.

"There's no need for formalities!"

Chen Fengshen reached out to grab Xiao Mu's arm to steady him, displaying warm hospitality. While pulling Xiao Mu into the room, he fervently invited, "Xiao Xiao, it's not often you visit me, let's talk inside."

"I've recently obtained a Mutated Beautiful Peach that is not only delicious but also enhances strength. Since you're here, you must try it."

"The third leader is truly at leisure!"

In the room, Xiao Mu sat on the sofa, tasting a fist-sized mutated peach Chen Fengshen had served. He took a gentle bite, and the sweet juice filled his mouth, prompting him to express his admiration involuntarily.

"At leisure? I actually envy your daily endeavors," Chen Fengshen shook his head and dismissively said, "I may seem relaxed, but it's only because my strength is too low to handle the minor tasks, and I'm not considered for the major ones."

You consider your strength low?

Xiao Mu was momentarily at a loss for words. The third leader, Chen Fengshen, was already a powerhouse at the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm; his strength could not possibly be considered low.

If the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm is also considered low, then what am I, being at the Peak of the Yin God Realm?

He resignedly replied, "The leader is just too humble!"

"Humble?"

Chen Fengshen shook his head with a sigh, "Xiao Xiao, you don't understand my troubles. Although I possess the strength of the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, my Spirit Tablet position is still that of a Mountain God, which is only at the level of a Yin God."

"The limitation of my Spirit Tablet position hinders my Realm advancement. The Yin God level Spirit Tablet position prevents me from Breaking Through to the True God Realm."

"Is that so?" Xiao Mu replied with mild surprise, hearing for the first time that a Spirit Tablet position could impact Realm advancement.

Chen Fengshen glanced at Xiao Mu, "You're not affected by the Spirit Tablet position, so of course, you wouldn't feel the difficulty."

"Do you know why the chief leader managed to step into the True God Realm? It's because he holds half of the Thunder God Position. Without it, the chief leader would still be like me, hovering in the Divine Spirit Realm."

Are you telling me all this for a reason?

Xiao Mu pondered for a moment before tactfully responding to Chen Fengshen, "With the third leader's strength, I believe it won't be long before you earn a Divine Spirit Realm position."

"If a high Realm was enough to secure a position, there wouldn't be so many people stuck with high-level Realms but only low-level positions."

Chen Fengshen let out a wry smile, and then his eyes fixed intently on Xiao Mu, "Xiao Xiao, maybe you can help me. If you could help Wu Yan retrieve the Netherlord position, you could certainly help me obtain the Land God position, right?"

I knew there wouldn't be anything good coming from visiting the third leader!

Xiao Mu regretted consulting Chen Fengshen, but managed to reply diplomatically, "Third leader, I'll do my best!"

"Haha!"

Chen Fengshen laughed, patting Xiao Mu on the shoulder, apparently feeling that pressuring Xiao Mu too much wouldn't be right. "Doing your best is enough; I believe in your luck. By the way, what did you need from me?"

Fortunately!

Having deftly handled the matter of the Spirit Tablet position, Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Third leader, today I was reviewing information related to Lord of Bai's Mansion and saw in the records that last July, the leader led an investigation into a Dark Abyss in the Leihe Region."

"I would like to ask what exactly that Dark Abyss was all about?"

"Dark Abyss?" Chen Fengshen looked puzzled, "Xiao Xiao, are you investigating the Dark Abyss?"

Xiao Mu set aside the half-eaten Mutated Beautiful Peach on the table and earnestly replied, "I want to locate Lord of Bai's Mansion, and I need to find clues from his traces. The Dark Abyss is related to him; I want to check it out."

Chen Fengshen gazed deeply at Xiao Mu, his expression turning solemn as he deliberated, "The Alliance has always wanted to find Lord of Bai's Mansion, dispatching countless people to investigate every year, every month, yet there have never been any leads."

"It will be very difficult for you to find Lord of Bai's Mansion," Chen Fengshen sighed softly, evidently not very optimistic about Xiao Mu's idea of finding the lord, "As for the Dark Abyss, I suggest you stay away. Beneath it lies a massive seal with extremely dense curse power."

"We suspect the seal is related to Lord of Bai's Mansion. Beneath it is the Curse Ancestor of the Curse Gate. In the past, Lord of Bai's Mansion fought the Curse Ancestor and managed to seal him."

"The Curse Ancestor is sealed under the Dark Abyss?"

Xiao Mu managed to remain composed on the surface, but a shock ran through him internally.

The Curse Ancestor, the senior ancestor of the Curse Gate, was a True God Realm powerhouse. According to the records of Ge Xie, the Land God of the Cuiyun Mountain Region, this individual was only rivaled by Lord of Bai's Mansion in the entire eastern domain.

"Indeed!"

Chen Fengshen nodded seriously, "That's why at that time, after seeing the seal, we immediately left the Dark Abyss and sealed it off. At the same time, we confined the information to prevent it from leaking."

"Why do you think the Curse Gate is lurking in the Ruins of Great Tang, wandering around the South Five Regions? It is to search for the Curse Ancestor."

Could it really be so?

Xiao Mu maintained an impassive appearance, but his thoughts were racing internally.

If the Curse Gate truly was searching for the Curse Ancestor, then information about the Curse Pit certainly couldn't be spread.

If it were to get out, and the Curse Gate learned that the Curse Ancestor was sealed within, they would surely mobilize everyone to rescue him and do everything possible to release the Curse Ancestor.
