The records of the Lord of Bai's Mansion deeply moved Xiao Mu, and he began to pay attention to the content that followed.

A passage was detected by his Divine Sense:

"Very few people cultivate to the limit of a Realm, even if they have the complete authority of that Realm's rank. Even among people of the same Realm with the same rank and the same number of Divine Treasures, there are still differences in strength."

Xiao Mu agreed with this statement very much; he couldn't help nodding when he read it. He himself was a perfect example—of the same Realm, the same rank, yet very few could match him as an opponent.

"It is laughable that most who possess complete authority believe they have cultivated to perfection, not knowing they are actually far from it. Take the Earth God Rank, for example; it is not just about having the Realm or the Divine Treasures but reaching the peak of cultivation. A cultivator who truly reaches the pinnacle will always manifest phenomena when exercising their own authority."

"And Mutated Beings who can display phenomena when wielding authority are one in ten thousand."

"Whether one has cultivated to the peak not only impacts their regular progression but also affects their own limitations."

Xiao Mu muttered to himself, "Phenomena, limits."

The Lord of Bai's Mansion's records exceeded his knowledge for the first time. Upon reflection, though, he could roughly guess what the Lord of Bai's Mansion was implying.

He continued reading the records:

"Many Mutated Beings remain stuck in the Yin God Realm for life; some are halted in the Divine Spirits Realm, while the vast majority linger in the True God Realm."

"The reason lies in the failure to reach their own limits during cultivation, which interferes with subsequent breakthroughs."

Xiao Mu suddenly shook his head, disagreeing with the Lord of Bai's Mansion's last record for the first time. "You, the Lord of Bai's Mansion, also remained in the True God Realm, unable to break through to the Heavenly God Realm... No, that's not right..."

He stopped mid-sentence, realizing there was something improper; the words he had intended to say halted.

Things were not as simple as he imagined. Indeed, the Lord of Bai's Mansion remained at the True God Level, but the real reason for that was the lack of authority, preventing further advancement to become a Heavenly God.

And the Lord of Bai's Mansion's Realm might not necessarily be limited to the True God Realm; perhaps he had already stepped into the Heavenly God Realm.

After all, according to the records, the Lord of Bai's Mansion was not merely the leader of the Eight Great Lords but also the leader among the True Gods of the Heavenly Court and the strongest below the Heavenly Gods.

"Typically, the limit for Mutated Beings is the True God Realm. After stepping into the True God Realm, it's challenging to go a step further. Aside from the limitation of not being able to obtain the authority of a Heavenly God, it's mostly because their cultivation hasn't reached the pinnacle, making it impossible to break through again."

Xiao Mu once again whispered to himself, "According to the records of the Lord of Bai's Mansion, it seems that he has indeed broken through the True God Realm and entered the Heavenly God Realm, but due to the lack of a corresponding rank, he is unable to advance further to become a Heavenly God."

"Hmm, the Lord of Bai's Mansion mentioned that once one cultivates to the pinnacle, phenomenon will appear when exercising one's rank. Have I cultivated to the pinnacle, and what are phenomena?"

The words of the Lord of Bai's Mansion inspired intense curiosity in Xiao Mu, and he longed for the so-called phenomena, for only when phenomena appeared while exercising one's rank would it mean that one had cultivated to the pinnacle.

Thinking this, with a thought, the Land God image suddenly flew out from within him, and the golden form of the Land God, identical to himself, sat cross-legged, suspended above his head.

"Where is the phenomenon?"

Xiao Mu, looking at the solitary Land God image, immediately felt a strong sense of defeat.

The absence of any phenomenon made it difficult for him to believe and inconceivable. Was his strength not strong enough? According to the Lord of Bai's Mansion, had he still not cultivated to the limit?

How strong must someone be who has cultivated to the limit? Xiao Mu could hardly imagine.

"I wonder if the people of the Heavenly Court have phenomena."

Curious, Xiao Mu began to speculate about the strength of the Divine Spirits of the Heavenly Court. However, he had limited contact with the powerhouses of the Heavenly Court and scarce information, so it was hard to determine their strength at that moment.

"Everyone is different, and their cultivation is different. Some can cultivate phenomena, and some cannot, naturally leading to disparities in strength. I suppose it's the same in the Heavenly Court."

Thought after thought flashed through Xiao Mu's mind as he continued to read the records of the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

"The True Force is an important power that helps in advancing to the True Realm and also directly relates to the strength of Mutated Beings. However, cultivating True Force can also affect the Mutated Beings themselves."

"Each power has only one authority, this one authority can be controlled by only one person, and all others will be affected."

"The suppression of authority further impacts the display of phenomena."

"I used fifty years of experience to summarize and one hundred years of experimentation, combined with various Secret Manuals, and finally created a method to test the influence of various True Forces on Mutated Beings—the Restraint Detection Technique. It can detect how many kinds of authority's suppression a Mutated Being has in total, the principle being the use of one's own authority..."

The Lord of Bai's Mansion mentioned a method for detecting how much one was suppressed by authority.

The mention of the Restraint Detection Technique in the records delighted Xiao Mu, and he eagerly continued to read.

The Restraint Detection Technique was not some profound cultivation method but a minor technique, used merely to detect how much one was suppressed by authority, contributing nothing to increasing strength.

But according to the records of the Lord of Bai's Mansion, this minor technique had a heaven-defying effect because it avoided the detection of higher-order authority during the process.
