Lv Liangping said, "The ancestor of the Five Elements and the Immortal Divine Sovereign once cooperated. The ancestor of the Five Elements requested the Feign Death Technique from the Immortal Divine Sovereign, but unfortunately, he was deceived. The technique that the Immortal Divine Sovereign passed on to him was not genuine, so after the Sculpted Image, his flesh quickly withered away, leaving him without the ability to be reborn."
Xiao Mu's divine likeness nodded slightly. He highly regarded Lv Liangping's statement, as the collaboration between the ancestor of the Five Elements and the Immortal Divine Sovereign clearly lacked sincerity.
However, what really surprised Xiao Mu was the appearance of the Chaos Heavenly Monarch; he hadn't expected that even the Ancient Heavenly Gods had taken part in the Ancient Great War and had also collaborated with the Lord of White Mansion.
This unsettled Xiao Mu, giving him a faint feeling that there might be a shocking and terrifying conspiracy hidden behind the Ancient Great War.
"Xiao Xiao, these pieces of information are valuable, aren't they? Worth at least one Divine Treasure from either the Land God or the Mountain God?"
Lv Liangping's face wore a smile as he couldn't help but inquire from Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu's divine likeness looked up at Lv Liangping. Seeing the joy and expectation in the other's eyes, it was clear he had confidence in the clues he had provided.
He nodded, "This information involves the Lord of White Mansion, Chaos Heavenly Monarch, the ancestor of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang Sovereign, and the Immortal Divine Sovereign. It is indeed of great value, enough to be exchanged for a Divine Treasure from either the Land God or the Mountain God. Second Leader Lv, which Divine Treasure do you want? I have the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown that comes from the Land God, and I have the Purple Void Silver Mist Robe that comes from the Mountain God. You may choose one."
As he spoke, Xiao Mu placed both Divine Treasures on the altar table, one after the other, for Lv Liangping to choose from.
The Purple Sun Silver Light Crown and the Purple Void Silver Mist Robe, placed to the left and right on the altar table, continuously released Purple Qi, emitting purple divine light. The essences of the Land God and the Mountain God rose from the altar table, dazzling to the eyes.
"This... this..."
Lv Liangping's eyes glazed over, both Divine Treasures making his heart pound intensely.
Each of the two Divine Treasures was precious, and he desired each one, leaving him struggling to make a choice.
"I really want both of them."
Lv Liangping sighed, his gaze shifting indecisively between the two treasures.
Xiao Mu smiled and said, "As long as Second Leader Lv can bring out other clues related to the Lord of White Mansion to exchange, you can take the next Divine Treasure at any time. But for now, you can only choose one. Is it the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown or the Purple Void Silver Mist Robe?"
With regret, Lv Liangping struggled for a long time before making a decision, "Never mind, I'll choose the Purple Void Silver Mist Robe first."
In terms of power, the robe was somewhat stronger than the crown, so Lv Liangping's choice was the right one.
"Second Leader Lv, please."
Xiao Mu's divine likeness reached out and collected the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown while leaving the Purple Void Silver Mist Robe for Lv Liangping.
"What a pity!"
Lv Liangping picked up the Purple Void Silver Mist Robe, joyous at obtaining it yet regretful at what he lost, and sighed, "The Purple Void Silver Mist Robe belongs to the Mountain God and is only suitable for the Mountain God, not for the Land God. The reward is unfair, and Elder Yun might have some complaints. Xiao Xiao, next time I bring information, I hope to exchange it for the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown."
Xiao Mu responded with a smile, "As long as the information Second Leader Lv provides is valuable enough, you can exchange it with me anytime."
"Well, let's hope that Elder Yun isn't too heartbroken this time."
Lv Liangping packed away the Purple Void Silver Mist Robe and bid farewell to Xiao Mu. After Xiao Mu withdrew his Divine Sense from the divine likeness, he left the temple.
On the way, the Second Leader Lv began to consider how to continue searching for information related to the Great War of Ancient Times, the Five Elements Sect, and the Lord of White Mansion, in order to obtain the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown from Xiao Mu for Elder Yun.
※※※
Meanwhile, after Xiao Mu's Divine Sense returned to his body, he began to ponder.
The fact that the ancestor of the Five Elements had a connection with the Immortal Divine Sovereign really surprised him.
However, the fact the Immortal Divine Sovereign had deceived the ancestor of the Five Elements indicated that their relationship was also average at best.
What he was uncertain about now was whether the ancestor of the Five Elements had indeed died. If he had died, there was a high probability of finding his corpse in the human world, and obtaining the authority of the Five Elements.
The value of the authority of the Five Elements was naturally immense; acquiring it could lead to the human world gaining another True God.
"It's a pity, not knowing whether the ancestor of the Five Elements really died, and if he did, where he died. If we knew, we could find his corpse."
"Hopefully, the clues to the corpse of the ancestor of the Five Elements can be found in the Three Emperors' Tomb soon."
"Guobao Divine Sovereign has infiltrated the area, and it's possible that he could completely recover his strength at any time. As a True God, once he recovers his strength, no one in the human world will be able to oppose him."
Various thoughts flashed through Xiao Mu's mind, adding to his worries.
His greatest fear was that once the Guobao Divine Monarch recovered, the first person he would target would be himself, as he was a wanted person by the Emperor Taijia.
In the following days, Xiao Mu researched every day and did not venture out easily to avoid being ambushed by the Changming Thunder God.
One noon, Zhao Qian suddenly called Xiao Mu, "Brother Xiao, the Grand Leader wants you to make a trip to Solitary Straight Mountain."
The Grand Leader suddenly asking me to go to Solitary Straight Mountain, could it be that there's action to be taken?
Zhao Qian's notification immediately set Xiao Mu's mind racing with possibilities.
His first thought was that the Grand Leader's sudden summons must mean an action was about to be taken, whether it concerned Twilight Forest Village or was related to the Changming Thunder God.
He immediately rushed to Solitary Straight Mountain and encountered Zhao Qian at the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Qian was studying how to control the growth of mutated plants' root systems in space, trying to precisely manipulate how their roots could traverse spaces and accurately take root inside the human body.
Xiao Mu preferred to stay as far away from this research as possible, and after giving a brief greeting, he headed straight up the mountain.
On the mountain, in addition to the Grand Leader Wu Jie, Second Leader Zhou Pudu, Third Leader Chen Fengshen, who had recently come out of seclusion, and the task group leader Wu Yan, there were also a man and a woman.
Both the man and the woman were powerful True God Realm experts, and the man, Zhu Bingshen, was already known to Xiao Mu.
The woman, around thirty and of beautiful appearance, was dressed in a white ancient Hanfu embroidered with yellow-green silk threads, giving off an elegant and refined air.
Through Wu Jie's introduction, Xiao Mu learned that the bewitching woman's name was Xu Xiuyun, an elder from the Alliance Headquarters.
These two were sent by the Alliance Headquarters to assist in the siege of the Changming Thunder God at the Great Tang Ruins.
"Let's depart!"
Without saying much more, the Grand Leader Wu Jie waved his hand as soon as everyone gathered, and led the way with the Escape Art, heading directly west from the Great Tang Ruins.
The others unfolded their Escape Arts to follow, with Zhu Bingshen and Xu Xiuyun, both in the True God Realm, closely behind Grand Leader Wu Jie, followed then by the Second Leader Zhou Pudu and the Third Leader Chen Fengshen.
Xiao Mu intentionally fell back a bit, keeping pace with Wu Yan.
"Congratulations on coming out of seclusion, Leader. Your strength has greatly increased."
Xiao Mu congratulated Wu Yan using a transmitting voice.
After his long seclusion, Wu Yan's strength had greatly increased. Under the boundless cultivation resources provided by Grand Leader Wu Jie, he advanced from the early stage of the Divine Spirit Realm to the later stage, at a remarkable speed.
"I feel ashamed, were it not for the Grand Leader sparing no resources for my cultivation, I could never have reached this level. Whereas you, Xiao Mu, your advancement speed is truly astonishing," Wu Yan remarked, noticing the change in Xiao Mu's cultivation.
Xiao Mu humbly replied and then glanced at Zhu Bingshen and Xu Xiuyun, who were closely following Wu Jie, "Group Leader, do you know where we're going?"
Without concealing anything, Wu Yan replied using a transmitting voice, "I've heard from the Grand Leader that we're heading to the Bodhi Domain."
Xiao Mu was curious, "Bodhi Domain, is Changming Thunder God in the Bodhi Domain?"
Wu Yan explained through a transmitting voice, "Apparently, the information from the headquarters indicates that Changming Thunder God is in the Bodhi Domain in search of descendants of the ancient Array Master Yang Yuan."
"Yang Yuan?"
Xiao Mu couldn't help but voice out loud.
The descendants of the ancient Array Master Yang Yuan, wouldn't that be Yang Jun and Yang Yu? Changming Thunder God showed up in the Bodhi Domain, not in pursuit of me, but in search of siblings Yang Jun and Yang Yu?
So, the ancient bloodline that the Life and Death Sect was looking for could it also be siblings Yang Jun and Yang Yu?
Xiao Mu's voice attracted the attention of Wu Jie and the others, but no one looked back; they continued to hurry westward at full speed.
Switching to transmitting voice, "Why is Changming Thunder God searching for Yang Yuan's descendants?"
"It is said to be related to the bloodline inheritance," replied Wu Yan, using a transmitting voice.
"Our task this time, apart from besieging Changming Thunder God, also includes protecting the descendants of Yang Yuan, to prevent them from being taken away by forces from beyond the heavens," Wu Yan shared through a transmitting voice.
