"I hope you haven't lied to me."

Huang Yuan suddenly let out a deep sigh, seemingly still not fully trusting that Xiao Mu could be of help to him, but his expression also conveyed a sense of resignation, as if he had no other choice.

"Senior Huang is overthinking it, what I promised I will surely be able to accomplish."

Xiao Mu reaffirmed his promise, then using the Divine Sense, he took the green sensing talisman that Huang Yuan had placed on the altar table.

"Keep an eye out for any information I send you."

After watching Xiao Mu's Divine Sense for a moment, Huang Yuan finally nodded, left a few words behind, and then promptly exited Xiao Mu's temple.

"I wish Senior Huang a successful journey!"

With his Divine Sense, Xiao Mu watched Huang Yuan's departing figure and offered him a blessing. Once Huang Yuan had left, Xiao Mu withdrew his Divine Sense and returned to his own body.

Holding the green sensing talisman, Xiao Mu examined it for a moment, then decided to hang the talisman at a conspicuous spot on his waist, to ensure that it would be visible if Huang Yuan needed to contact him.

Half a day later, at the Alliance Headquarters, in the western direction of the Never-falling Divine Mountain, in Destruction Canyon, outside a peculiar space that seemed to be made up of countless shards of glass, Huang Yuan stared into the depths of the space for a long time before he finally made up his mind.

With a movement of his Divine Sense, Sacred Power burst forth from Huang Yuan's body and in the blink of an eye enveloped him. Immediately afterwards, this Sacred Power spread outward, forming a semitransparent shield that encased Huang Yuan in the middle.

Huang Yuan took big strides toward the peculiar space made of numerous glass shards.

No sooner had he approached the peculiar space than it seemed to sense his presence, covering him abruptly and sucking Huang Yuan in.

The outside of the peculiar space returned to calm as if nothing had happened.

In the Court Emperor Domain, located in the northeastern region of the Fourteen Domains of the Three Emperors' Tomb, is the Five-Color Valley in the central area.

Streams of mutated Five Elements Power surged from the depths of the Five-Color Valley, taking form in mid-air as swords of the Five Elements Power.

The sword energy was sharp, each gleam of Brilliance signifying a sword light, with at least tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of Five Elements Swords rising from beneath the ground, unfolding a fierce battle in the mid-air of the Five-Color Valley.

Faint sounds of shattering echoed continuously, as if even the space itself was being ground to pieces. As a result, in the deep recesses of the valley floor, space became distorted; some areas of space decreased in size while others expanded.

Thus, the same object, in different places, could appear vastly different in size.

At this moment, on the outskirts of the Five-Color Valley, standing beyond the myriad of sword lights, were two elderly men.

The two elders were mighty in strength, each at the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm. The one on the left wore a grey robe and reading glasses, with the aspect of a Land God appearing above his head.

The elder on the right was dressed in a White Robe and grey lantern pants, with the aspect of a Mountain God above his head.

These two were the first- and second-ranked elders of the Three Emperors' Tomb, Yun Wulie and Jin Ming.

Yun Wulie and Jin Ming both kept a tense gaze on the sword lights surging within the Five-Color Valley, the corners of their mouths stained with fresh Bloodstains and their chests marked by prominent blood smears, showing they had incurred serious injuries.

The elder in the grey robe and reading glasses, Yun Wulie, said with a grave expression, "In half an hour, we should be able to enter."

Jin Ming, in the White Robe and grey lantern pants, touched the corners of his mouth where faint bloodstains had emerged once more, his voice a bit dismal, "This ruins is truly formidable. Just these terrifying Five Elements Sword Lights are enough to block the majority of the Mutated Beings from entering."

"But fortunately, the sword lights have a pattern to them. Every three days, there's a ten-minute period when they weaken. I hope we can successfully get inside this time; I can hardly wait any longer."

"Haha!"

Yun Wulie cut in, wounded but undiminished in enthusiasm, and casting a glare at Jin Ming, "Old Jin, don't think I don't know you're coveting the Divine Treasure from our great leader. But I advise you, quit your wishful thinking; the greater your hope, the greater your disappointment. The Divine Treasure our leader has is surely a Land God's treasure, suitable for me and not for you."

Jin Ming didn't hold back, retorting, "Old Yun, you're daydreaming. I bet that the Divine Treasure our leader brings out will be a Mountain God's treasure, one hundred percent. Don't you cry out of envy when it comes into my possession."

"Haha! Just wait and see, Old Jin, your arrogance will surely diminish your luck. That Divine Treasure from our leader is as good as mine."

Yun Wulie burst into laughter, his voice echoing throughout the Valley.

As the two elders bantered, neither of them neglected the Five Elements Sword Light in the Valley ahead.

Half an hour quickly passed and the sword light finally showed a brief weakening; the vast majority of the sword light seemed to disappear all at once, and the killing intent in the valley significantly decreased.

"Jump!"

Yun Wulie bellowed and was the first to leap into the valley.

However, as he descended, the power of the Five Elements and the Yin Yang Power surged around him, transforming into the Five Elements Divine Bell and the Yin-Yang Protective Shield to protect his body inside and out.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Strands of Five Elements Sword Light that had not disappeared came attacking one after another, continuously striking Yun Wulie's protective shields.

The Five Elements Power crumbled, the Yin Yang Power scattered, and Yun Wulie pushed his power to the limit, quickly calling upon the Land God's Divine Power for protection.

Golden divine light spread outwards like a ring, merging the Land God's Divine Power with the Five Elements Divine Bell and the Yin-Yang Protective Shield.

The divine light fluctuated, and golden Divine Textures promptly appeared around the periphery of the Five Elements Divine Bell and the Yin-Yang Protective Shield. The textures strengthened their resilience, allowing them to take the weakened Five Elements Sword Light attacks without breaking.

Yun Wulie plunged straight down like a falling meteor, heading toward the bottom of the Five-Color Valley.

"Old Yun, you old scoundrel, truly shameless!"

Jin Ming cursed upon seeing Yun Wulie jumping into the valley ahead of him and quickly followed by diving straight down.

Taking advantage of Yun Wulie's experience in countering the Five Elements Sword Light, the elder directly deployed the Five Elements Power and the Sacred Power, producing two types of protective shields around his body. At the same time, he unleashed the Mountain God's Divine Power, using it to enhance the strength of the Five Elements Divine Bell and the Sacred Brilliance.

The surface of the Five Elements Divine Bell and the Sacred Brilliance was covered with Divine Textures formed by the Mountain God's Divine Power. With the textures flickering, each successive strike from the Five Elements Sword Light was resisted, and Jin Ming's body rapidly descended to the bottom of the valley.

Within just a few minutes, the two elderly figures had successively landed at the bottom of the Five-Color Valley.

Different from the outside, the sword light had disappeared at the valley's bottom, making it appear to be a place of tranquility.

However, looking up, one could see that the entire sky above was sealed off by the Five Elements Sword Light, blocking out the sunlight and covering the sky; nothing but strands of sword light remained, making it impossible for the gaze to penetrate.

"Old Yun, quick, look, what is that?"

Jin Ming suddenly pointed towards the far left, shouting in surprise at Yun Wulie.

Yun Wulie turned his head to look in the distance to the left, and was momentarily stunned.

There, in the distance on the left, at the origin of the Five Elements Sword Light, stood an ancient Five-Color Divine Temple.

And in the sky above, all the sword light was emanating from within this ancient Five-Color Divine Temple.

"Whose temple is this?"

Yun Wulie exclaimed in astonishment.

"Could it be the Five Elements...the Five Elements Ancestor?" Jin Ming cautiously ventured, his voice trembling slightly.

The Five Elements Ancestor was the founding ancestor of the Five Elements Sect, the holder of the Five Elements Power, and one of the True Gods.

Looking at the might of the sword light in the sky, apart from the Five Elements Ancestor, it seemed probable that no other deity's temple could create such a grand spectacle.

For Mutated Beings of Yun Wulie and Jin Ming's level, encountering a True God meant nothing but death, leaving no room for escape.

However, having been through significant events, the two of them, despite their shock, did not panic and started observing the temple from a distance.

After a while, Yun Wulie finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I can't sense any Divine Spirits' presence inside the temple at all."

Jin Ming nodded gravely, "Neither can I."

"Perhaps it is an abandoned temple, shall we go take a look?"

Yun Wulie speculated as he turned his head to seek Jin Ming's opinion.

"Let's go. What's there to be afraid of? Even if the Five Elements Ancestor is a True God, his abandoned temple cannot intimidate anyone," Jin Ming snorted disdainfully and strode towards the Five-Color Divine Temple with determination.
