"But we don't only have ourselves, we all have family and friends. We will die, and so will our family and friends."

"As the strong, we have a responsibility to step forward and protect them."

"So, I've figured it out, even if I have to die, I want to do more for the Alliance and for the human world before I go."

Xiao Mu's emotions suddenly fluctuated, his tone revealing a sense of tragic and sorrow, and he abruptly picked up his teacup and drained it in one gulp.

Xiao Mu remained silent upon hearing this. Although his thoughts could not completely align with Xu Qianwu's, they were at least united in their overall direction—to oppose the grand sect from beyond the heavens, to oppose the Heavenly Court.

"Is that why Elder Fang took the initiative to investigate Twilight Forest Village?" Xiao Mu's gaze shifted to Xu Qianwu, recalling Fang Ying.

"Yes, Elder Fang and I have seen the light. Since we don't know when we will die, we might as well do as much as we can for the human world before that time comes."

Having finished his tea, Xu Qianwu casually placed his cup back on the table, but then felt it was not in the right spot. He picked up the cup again and placed it properly on the ceramic tray intended for it.

Leaving Xu Qianwu's house, he next visited the residence of Fang Ying. Her situation was similar to Xu Qianwu's; both were affected by the curse and had sudden epiphanies, deciding to do as much as possible for the human world before dying.

This transformation affected Xiao Mu to a certain degree, leaving him reflective as he left Fang Ying's place.

"It looks like I really need to think about doing my logistical work well. Elder Fang and Elder Xu are both willing to devote themselves to the human world. Although I cannot completely sacrifice myself selflessly like they do, I can at least do something for the human world."

Muttering to himself, Xiao Mu thought of Lv Liangping, "I wonder how the Three Emperors' Tomb is faring now, what treasures lie in the third site of the Five Elements Sect. Strange, is there really no way to break the array at the Three Emperors' Tomb? Are powerful Array Masters truly so hard to find?"

※※※

Powerful Array Masters were indeed that hard to find; right now, the worries in Lv Liangping's heart were even heavier than Xiao Mu's.

Inside Lv Liangping's cave mansion, within the depths of an ancient tomb, bonfires burned in high-raised trays, illuminating the vast ancient tomb. As the wind blew, the flames flickered, casting the moving shadows of the three people in a meeting.

"The First Leader, in the last week, the Three Emperors' Tomb and the Five Elements Sect have engaged in battle seventeen times. Seventeen battles, each time at a disadvantage, resulting in a total of thirty-seven casualties among the Yin God Realm Mutated Beings, with seven seriously injured, nineteen lightly injured, and eleven dead. Two Divine Spirits realm powerhouses died, one was seriously injured, and one was lightly injured."

The three figures in the firelight were the three leaders of the Three Emperors' Tomb—First Leader Lv Liangping, Second Leader Qi Jin, and Third Leader Zheng Wen'an.

It was the Third Leader Zheng Wen'an who was speaking, reporting the recent battle outcomes between the Great Tang Ruins and the Five Elements Sect to Lv Liangping.

"The death rate is too high!"

Lv Liangping sighed deeply; the death rate of the Three Emperors' Tomb in the battles against the Five Elements Sect was astoundingly high.

Second Leader Qi Jin sat cross-legged, with faint flashes of electricity visible on the surface of his body, flickering in and out of visibility in the bonfire light.

This Second Leader was a specialist in the Electromother realm, with strength second only to that of the First Leader Lv Liangping within the entire Three Emperors' Tomb.

Qi Jin spoke earnestly, "Ultimately, it's because our Mutated Beings are not strong enough, always at a disadvantage in the battles with the Five Elements Sect."

"Lots of Mutated Beings from the Five Elements Sect possess Divine Weapons and Divine Treasures. What about us? Though it's said that Elder Yun and Elder Jin each have a Divine Treasure, the strength of the others remains too low. The strength increase of just two people is futile."

"To reduce the death rate of our powerhouses in battle, we must get Divine Weapons and Divine Treasures for the other elders as well."

He couldn't help but look toward Lv Liangping.

The Third Leader Zheng Wen'an also looked at Lv Liangping in unspoken agreement.

Both leaders knew very well that whether it was Elder Yun's Purple Sun Silver Light Crown or Elder Jin's Purple Void Silver Mist Robe, they had been given by the First Leader Lv Liangping. Thus, for the Divine Treasures to be obtained, they would ultimately depend on the First Leader Lv Liangping.

"Qi Leader, Zheng Leader, both of you go back first. As for getting Divine Treasures for the other elders, I'll think of a solution."

Lv Liangping's gaze swept over Qi Jin and Zheng Wen'an, his eyes ultimately landing on the shadows of the two men cast on the ground by the bonfire light.

He was well aware of Qi Jin and Zheng Wen'an's intentions, but acquiring Divine Weapons and Divine Treasures was not an easy feat.

After seeing off Qi Jin and Zheng Wen'an, the great leader of the Three Emperors' Tomb stood up and began pacing back and forth inside the ancient tomb, pondering to himself as he walked: "I wonder if Xiao Xiao has thought it through and decided on cooperating to explore the Five Elements Sect's third site.

The Three Emperors' Tomb was in desperate need of Array Masters, a significant shortcoming for them.

It was said that a descendant of Yang Yuan, an Array Master from ancient times, was found within the Five Elements' Ruins and had already accepted part of the inheritance. I'm not sure if Xiao Mu's method of breaking Arrays comes from this Array Master descendant.

Perhaps I should also look for descendants of Array Masters in the human world; exploring ruins is impossible without the help of Array Masters, and the Three Emperors' Tomb needs them too.

Forget it, I'll push Xiao Mu tomorrow.

※※※

Xiao Mu, urged by Lv Liangping, was somewhat caught between laughter and tears. It seems that the great leader Lv is getting anxious. We must quickly find a way to explore the Five Elements Sect's third site, but without a powerful enough Array Breaking Order, how can we explore without breaking the Array?

Yang Jun once mentioned that the power of the Array Breaking Order is limited by the materials used to make it. With better materials, a stronger Array Breaking Order can be made, capable of withstanding more power when breaking Arrays.

Not long ago, Senior Huang contacted me and gave me a piece of bronze that had been transformed by the power of Chaos.

With that thought, Xiao Mu took out the bronze block from the Earth Seal Space and began to gently rub it in his hand.

The bronze that had been transformed by Chaos Power had undergone tremendous changes in both hardness and quality and had become Special Materials. In terms of texture, it was even more advanced than some Mutated Materials.

The destroyed space was filled with the power of Chaos. If Senior Huang and his team could find Mutated Bronze, they could surely find other materials.

Thinking this, Xiao Mu formed a plan in his mind.

I'll contact Senior Huang and his team and have them head deep into the destroyed space to find materials transformed by the power of Chaos that can be used to create an Array Breaking Order.

Xiao Mu immediately set into action, heading straight to the Great Temple to contact Huang Yuan.

"Xiao kid, what's up?" Huang Yuan replied quickly, his divine gaze focusing on Xiao Mu.

"Senior Huang, have you and Old Yan already gone deep into the destroyed space?"

Xiao Mu didn't immediately bring up the matter of the materials but first inquired about the whereabouts of Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu.

"We've set off with Old Yan and are currently in the middle of a twisted space. Xiao kid, why are you suddenly interested in our whereabouts?"

Huang Yuan was as direct as ever, not beating around the bush.

"Senior Huang, do you remember the Chaos Bronze you gave me last time?"

Xiao Mu took out the Chaos Bronze and held it subtly in his hand.

"Nonsense, how would I forget what I gave you."

Huang Yuan spoke out sharply, clearly displeased.

I should have known better than to use such a subtle approach with Old Huang.

Xiao Mu suddenly regretted speaking to Huang Yuan in a normal manner and got straight to the point, "It's like this, Senior Huang, I would like you and Old Yan to help me find materials like this piece of Chaos Bronze in the destroyed space. The material should be stronger than this bronze, preferably some sort of steel that has been mutated and corroded by the power of Chaos."

"You need materials that have been mutated by the power of Chaos?"

Huang Yuan's divine figure moved his mouth, his opening and closing lips expressing a hint of curiosity, "Xiao kid, what do you want these Chaos-corroded materials for? To Refine Treasure, as far as I remember, you're not an Artifact Refiner, nor do I recall the Great Tang Ruins having any Artifact Refiners."
