Huang Yuan's face wore an expression that clouded and cleared unpredictably, the shattered space fraught with danger. Powerful beings might be encountered at any moment, leading to death, but the allure of the Three Flowers Tempering Body Technique was simply too great for him.

His son Huang Qi harbored a strange power within him, a power that governed life and death. But because of his limited Realm, he lacked the strength to expel this odd energy and was desperate to increase his power.

After a period of inner struggle, Huang Yuan made up his mind, "Fine then, Xiao, you've won. I will continue to scout the shattered space for you."

"Senior, it's a pleasure to collaborate," Xiao Mu said, with a slight smile on his face as he spoke, placing the Secret Manual of the Three Flowers Tempering Body Technique into the Earth Seal Space.

"You... Xiao, don't you plan to hand over the Secret Manual to me?" Huang Yuan showed dissatisfaction as he saw Xiao Mu stow away the Manual.

"The leader of the Yan group and you, Senior, are both injured. It's best to return from the shattered space to recuperate. As for this Manual, once Senior has recovered from your injury, I will surely hand it over to you the next time we venture into the shattered space."

Xiao Mu gently clarified.

"You don't trust us, fearing that once I take the Secret Manual, I'll go back on my word and not return to the shattered space. Fine, have it your way. But, Xiao Boy, when we continue to explore the shattered space in the future, I hope we can change the way we conduct transactions," Huang Yuan did not insist that Xiao Mu hand over the Secret Manual of the Three Flowers Tempering Body Technique. Instead, he made a new suggestion.

"Senior, please speak your mind," Xiao Mu's expression shifted slightly. The change in Huang Yuan's thinking surprised him, but it was within his expectations, considering they had been cooperating partners from the start.

"Old Yan and I will continue exploring the shattered space, but it'll be no longer just for you, nor would you need to give us anything in return for our exploration. From the next exploration, if you require something from our findings, you'll need to exchange it with an Object that satisfies us."

Huang Yuan set forth his thoughts in a surprisingly orderly manner, making Xiao Mu wonder if it was pre-discussed with Yan Qingxu.

Xiao Mu had no objections to this mode of cooperation, "Senior's proposal is fair. Since that is the case, let us continue collaborating. However, I will communicate my needs to Senior, and if you have something to offer, you can propose terms according to your findings."

"This is a fair way to cooperate. Very well, I and Old Yan accept it."

Huang Yuan's Divine Sense nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with the new partnership.

After exchanging a few more opinions, Huang Yuan's Divine Sense withdrew from his manifestation.

Xiao Mu knew Huang Yuan would now join with Yan Qingxu to exit the shattered space and head back to the Alliance Headquarters. He wasn't worried about their safety. He collected the materials Huang Yuan had retrieved from the shattered space, then left the Great Temple and returned to his own residence.

Back at his place, Xiao Mu didn't immediately check the Black Iron Mutated Material eroded by Chaos Power; first, he picked up the Gray ancient tile to examine it.

The Ancient Tile faintly exuded the Authority of Divine Spirits, giving Xiao Mu a familiar feeling. This Divine Authority was exactly like that of the half-piece of Yama Command he had previously acquired, leading Xiao Mu to suspect this Ancient Tile also belonged to the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

"What is this?"

Xiao Mu turned the Ancient Tile over and over before his eyes, but he couldn't see through its purpose. He tried to input a thread of Divine Sense into the tile, but it was immediately obstructed.

A strong Power in the Ancient Tile blocked the entry of his Divine Sense, repelling it the moment it was injected.

However, this attempt to use Divine Sense allowed Xiao Mu to perceive the presence of a powerful Divine Sense within the Ancient Tile.

"Secret Manual? Memory? Ledger? Diary?"

The true purpose of the Ancient Tile puzzled Xiao Mu, leading him to speculate about its function.

As it stood, the Ancient Tile was most likely used to store Divine Sense, which, in most cases, is meant to preserve memories, knowledge, and is quite similar to a hard drive or memory, yet fundamentally different.

"This is getting interesting!"

Realizing the tile's potential purpose, Xiao Mu's heart swelled with anticipation.

This Ancient Tile likely originated from the hands of the Lord of Bai's Mansion. If it indeed was created by him, that would mean that within this tile, a piece of memory or even an inheritance or knowledge was left by the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

"What exactly did the Lord of Bai's Mansion leave in this tile, and how could one unlock the memories within?"

Thoughts in Xiao Mu's mind zipped through like lightning, continuously pondering how to access the memory inheritance within the tile.

Soon, he decided to try and see if his own Dao Method Spiritual Energy was potent enough to break the seal left by the Lord of Bai's Mansion on the Ancient Tile, preventing access to its memories.

With a point of his finger, a stream of Golden color Dao Method Spiritual Energy burst forth from Xiao Mu's fingertip, striking the tile like an arrow.

Bang!

The Dao Method Spiritual Energy hit the surface of the Ancient Tile, immediately triggering a rebound of the holy Authority within the tile, and in the next instant, it was deflected back, leaving the tile unscathed.

"The seal left by the Lord of Bai's Mansion in the tile is quite powerful; with my current Realm, I am utterly incapable of breaking it using Dao Method Spiritual Energy."

The failure of the Dao Method Spiritual Energy to break the seal caused Xiao Mu to furrow his brows instinctively, but soon, he thought of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and decided to attempt breaking the seal with the Emperor's Might of the Emperor's Seal.
