After all, the exploration of the Restraint Detection Technique was inherently aimed at high-level Mutated Beings. For example, Xiao Mu had cultivated the Five Elements Power, which necessarily would be subject to the authority of the Five Elements.
Detecting the authority of the Five Elements inevitably alarmed the Five Elements' ancestries.
However, the Restraint Detection Technique created by the Lord of Bai's Mansion had an effect against the heavens, avoiding the authority of the Five Elements and not letting the Five Elements' ancestries detect it during the search.
"It wouldn't hurt to try."
The discovery of the Restraint Detection Technique greatly excited Xiao Mu, and after carefully reading the methods, he immediately began to learn.
After all, it was just a small art and was easy to master; within an hour or two, Xiao Mu easily succeeded in cultivating it.
Xiao Mu sat on the ground and directly used the Restraint Detection Technique.
As he used the technique, a blue light suddenly burst from within his body. This blue light emerged from all the major acupuncture points on his body and finally covered the surface of his body, connecting together in a web.
At this point, Xiao Mu's body surface immediately looked like it was covered with a net of blue radiating light.
Every node of this net released blue light, illuminating the surroundings of Xiao Mu's body distinctively.
Amidst the blue light, filled with the imposing authority of the town god, the sacred power carried the scent of life and death. Amidst the smoke, above Xiao Mu's head, precisely spoken, above the deity's head, suddenly appeared several mists of different colors.
Among them, the clearest multicolored mist on Xiao Mu's deity's left shoulder was undoubtedly the Five Elements Power, which was the suppression of Xiao Mu's body by the Five Elements Power.
Another mist of black and white colors was the Yin Yang Power, which suppressed Xiao Mu's authority and was located on the right shoulder.
Another grey and white mist represented the Two Forces of Life and Death, which suppressed the authority of Xiao Mu's self and was located on his back.
Besides these three mists, there were still two more mists above Xiao Mu's head that were elusive.
However, these two mists were not only undistinguishable in color but also in shape, making it impossible to discern what power they represented.
These five different mists appeared simultaneously above different parts of Xiao Mu's deity, deriving different powers and entangling his deity like lines of rope or net, restraining the abilities of Xiao Mu's deity.
Looking at these five different mists, Xiao Mu immediately felt a chill inside.
Normally, he would not feel the suppressive effect of these different powers on himself, but at this moment, under the use of the Restraint Detection Technique, the suppression of these five powers on his own strength was immediately clearly felt.
These five different authorities directly pressed on his own town god's form, greatly restricting the strength of the town god's form, not only causing Xiao Mu's town god's authority to significantly reduce but also directly affecting his strength to reach the limit.
"What terrifying authority suppression, what are those other two? They feel much stronger than the Power of Life and Death, and the Five Elements Yin Yang Power."
The Five Elements Power, Yin Yang Power, and Power of Life and Death, were all within Xiao Mu's expectations. However, what surprised him were the two indistinguishable mists, whose powers suppressed him the most.
"I wonder if it is because the Restraint Detection Technique created by the Lord of Bai's Mansion is not sophisticated enough, or my Realm is not sufficient, which leads to the temporary inability to detect the origin of those two mists above the town god."
Xiao Mu couldn't help but guess but was completely unable to confirm which situation was more reasonable.
"Never mind, let's see what else is recorded. Hmm? The Lord of Bai's Mansion also mentioned a way to relieve the authority suppression..."
The methods for relieving the authority suppression recorded by the Lord of Bai's Mansion were obviously rudimentary, merely in an embryonic form, but the look in Xiao Mu's eyes still showed some excitement.
"Knowing that my own authority was being suppressed by others, my heart was not willing to accept it. After 1,500 years of collecting various data, I finally devised a temporary method to relieve the authority suppression... The Dismissal Technique embodies the intention of dismissing all the authority imposed on oneself by others."
Xiao Mu focused on the cultivation method of the Dismissal Technique recorded by the Lord of Bai's Mansion, and eventually found that the cultivation of the Dismissal Technique still relied on one's own authority; precisely speaking, it involved mobilizing one's own authority to counteract the authority imposed from the outside, temporarily neutralizing the externally imposed authority.
"Unfortunately, it's only temporary and can't completely resolve the authority others impose on oneself. It's somewhat disappointing, but Lord of Bai's Mansion had only just created the Dismissal Technique. Its power is insufficient, which is understandable."
After reading through the methods and principles of the Dismissal Technique recorded in the document, Xiao Mu felt a hint of disappointment.
The Dismissal Technique founded by Lord of Bai's Mansion as recorded in the ancient tile was not about completely removing the authority others impose on oneself but was capable of temporarily resisting it. This meant that once one stopped using the Dismissal Technique, the authority others imposed would return and continue to affect oneself.
"I'll cultivate it first; having some cultivation is better than none. But Lord of Bai's Mansion is really a person of outstanding talent."
The records in the ancient tile gave Xiao Mu a deeper understanding of Lord of Bai's Mansion. Additionally, the effects of the Restraint Detection Technique and Dismissal Technique, two Secret Arts, deeply impressed Xiao Mu.
Being able to create these two minor arts likely wasn't just because Lord of Bai's Mansion was strong but also indicated that this talented genius had discovered something others hadn't and achieved what others couldn't.
After carefully reading the cultivation method of the Dismissal Technique again, Xiao Mu sat down and resumed his cultivation.
Cultivating the Dismissal Technique was somewhat more difficult than the Restraint Detection Technique; the steps were more complex, but the principle was the same: the proper utilization of one's own authority.
A divine presence appeared above Xiao Mu's head, and its divine authority descended directly on him. Divine Sense flowed within Xiao Mu's body, followed by three True Strength Seeds abruptly leaping out of his body.
The divine authority was released, allowing the three True Strength Seeds to go forth, immediately isolating them from Xiao Mu.
At this moment, Xiao Mu truly began to cultivate the Dismissal Technique.
Beams of divine light flowed within him, his body gradually becoming crystalline. The divine light was changing his body; it seemed different from before, bearing more divine aspects, and it became closer to resembling the divine presence.
Five or six hours later, Xiao Mu successfully cultivated the Dismissal Technique.
"I feel... my strength has increased a bit."
Opening his eyes and sensing his own strength, Xiao Mu immediately showed a joyful expression.
The cultivation of the Dismissal Technique had indeed enhanced his strength. Compared to before, he was noticeably stronger.
"Let's try it out, see what happens when the Dismissal Technique is used. By dismissing the authority others impose on me, my own divine authority should be able to greatly increase, enabling a stronger display of power."
Musing on this, Xiao Mu's thoughts moved. He released his divine post freely, and with a buzz, divine light exploded from within his body, and the divine presence appeared above his head.
Golden Light descended, and trails of golden glow spread across the ground.
Xiao Mu then used the Restraint Detection Technique. The Five Elements Power mist, Yin Yang Power mist, and Power of Life and Death mist all appeared above his head. A mysterious force suppressed his divine presence, restricting his divine authority.
Dismissal Technique!
Xiao Mu's mind moved again. Golden Light flowed within his body, and his divine authority was released. The divine presence above his head, in that instant, suddenly solidified slightly.
The divine light transformed by divine authority burst outward, violently impacting the Five Elements Yin and Yang Power mist and Power of Life and Death mist and also the two strange mist groups of unknown authority above the divine presence's head.
Crash!
The Five Elements Power, Yin Yang Power, and The Two Forces of Life and Death were hit and suddenly moved backward, like walls being pushed.
Crack!
An anomaly issued from the surface of the divine presence, seeming like the chains that bound the divine presence were suddenly unlocked. A sense of indescribable relief suddenly emerged in Xiao Mu's heart.
At the same time, in the background of the divine presence and far away in the shadows, a blue castle-like structure, faint and unclear, suddenly appeared.
