Before going into seclusion, Xiao Mu first notified Lv Liangping and Huang Yuan, so they wouldn't suddenly try to find him and be unable to contact him.

Huang Yuan was deep in the collapsing space, perhaps encountering trouble, and for the moment unable to establish contact through his Divine Spirit.

Leaving a message, Xiao Mu reached out to Lv Liangping's Divine Spirit.

Bowing slightly toward the Divine Spirit, soon Lv Liangping's Divine Spirit opened its eyes.

"Xiao Xiao, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, how are you, Leader Lv?"

Xiao Mu bowed to Lv Liangping's Divine Spirit and greeted him, but then he immediately stepped into the main topic, "I am about to go into seclusion to break through to the mid-stage of the Divine Spirits realm, and it might take several months before I can leave seclusion."

"Before I go into seclusion, I'd like to ask how the exploration of the Five Elements Ruins is progressing by the Three Emperors' Tomb? Is there any new information?"

"Xiao Xiao, first of all, congratulations on your imminent breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Divine Spirits realm."

Even through the Divine Spirit, one could still sense Lv Liangping's surprise at Xiao Mu's cultivation speed. Xiao Mu was advancing far too quickly, much faster than the average Mutated Being.

However, Lv Liangping's tone changed, "But, Xiao Xiao, I'm afraid I must disappoint you concerning the exploration of the ruins."

"Disappointed? Why do you say that, Leader Lv?" Xiao Mu was puzzled.

The mouth of Lv Liangping's Divine Spirit moved and vibrations filled the air to form words, "The Three Emperors' Tomb is currently facing a major invasion from the Five Elements Sect, and we have to muster all our strength to resist the Five Elements Sect. We really can't spare the manpower to explore the Five Elements Ruins right now, so the exploration will have to be postponed."

"The Five Elements Sect is planning a major invasion of the Three Emperors' Tomb?"

Xiao Mu's brows twitched violently; the unusual actions of the Five Elements Sect filled him with an inexplicable sense of unease.

With his experience in dealing with things beyond the heavens, he couldn't be clearer about what such unusual actions meant; they signaled that something big was brewing, a significant conspiracy or operation was underway.

"Leader Lv, do you need help?"

"Not at the moment."

A hearty laugh came from Lv Liangping's Divine Spirit, "With the strength of the Three Emperors' Tomb, resisting the mere Five Elements Sect shouldn't be too difficult. We don't need external assistance for the time being. Of course, if we truly need help, I will seek it."

"Then I am relieved."

Xiao Mu nodded slightly, then added, "In addition to the Five Elements Sect, Leader Lv, you should be wary of the Heavenly Court and the Life and Death Sect too. I suspect there is surely collusion between the Heavenly Court and the Five Elements Sect, and the Life and Death Sect could be involved as well."

Previously in the temple of the Five Elements' ancestor, the information he obtained was vague and unclear. Although it seemed on the surface that the ancestor of the Five Elements and the Undying Divine Sovereign were scheming against each other, who could really explain the truth behind it all with such incomplete data?

"Xiao Xiao, thank you for your warning. I know what to do," laughed Lv Liangping's Divine Spirit.

"Seeing Leader Lv looking so confident, I won't say more then."

Xiao Mu smiled, bid farewell to Lv Liangping, and with Lv Liangping's divine consciousness withdrawing from the Divine Spirit, Xiao Mu also left the temple.

Back at his residence, he immediately began seclusion, taking out the Energy Fruits one by one and ingesting them. Then they transformed into a full force of energy to refine.

At the Three Emperors' Tomb Headquarters, as Lv Liangping's divine consciousness left the Divine Spirit, he regretted a little when thinking of Xiao Mu's offer, 'If there's ever anything, you can seek my help'.

"Xiao Xiao said I could ask for his help if needed. I wonder if he would agree if I took the opportunity to ask him to gift me that Divine Treasure of the Land God?"

Leader Lv spoke in a low voice, soon laughing at himself, "I really am getting useless with age, coveting the treasure of a junior. Luckily, I didn't bring up the matter of the gift earlier, otherwise, if word got out, I could forget about keeping my face."

Shaking his head lightly, the next moment, he picked up a phone and quickly dialed a number.

A young woman's voice came through the phone, "Grand Leader, hello, this is Xiao Liu."

"Xiao Liu, notify all leaders, elders, and those in charge to gather at the tomb complex in three hours for a meeting. Ensure everyone arrives."

"Yes, Grand Leader."

Three hours later, at the large tomb complex of the Three Emperors' Tomb, Leader Lv sat at the head of the table, surveying the room.

All leaders, elders, and those in charge from the Three Emperors' Tomb had arrived, except for Second Leader Qi Jin who had gone to the southern Human Emperor Domain and was temporarily unable to attend.

Lv Liangping cleared his throat and spoke directly, "We need not wait for Second Leader, as he can't return for now. Let's start the meeting; our main focus is the large-scale invasion by the Five Elements Sect."

After looking around, he continued, "Recently, the Five Elements Sect has been active in all fourteen domains of the Three Emperors' Tomb, with frequent movements. Information gathered suggests that the Five Elements Sect is likely searching for their ancestor."

The assembly remained silent; it was an open secret that the activities of the Five Elements Sect within the Three Emperors' Tomb were in search of their ancestor.

"Regardless of the Five Elements Sect's goals, we cannot let them succeed. Therefore, I plan to dispatch the leading elders to guard various locations."

"Elder Yun, you will be stationed in the Wa Emperor Domain and Emperor Xi Domain, Elder Jin, you will head to the Court Emperor Domain and Chao Emperor Domain, Elder Zhang, you will go to..."

Lv Liangping delegated responsibilities one by one, and before long had the stationing of the ten elders of the Three Emperors' Tomb clearly arranged.

In the fourteen domains of the Three Emperors' Tomb, the ten elders dispersed according to their strengths to different locations, monitoring the movements of the Five Elements Sect and repelling their powerful members.
