"What is this?"

The sudden appearance of an object resembling a cyan city wall behind the City God Agent caught Xiao Mu off guard, and just as he formed the thought, the cyan wall-like object disappeared.

But he immediately used the Dismissal Technique again, harnessing his Divine Power to assail the Five Elements Power, the Yin Yang Power, and the Power of Life and Death that were suppressing his authority, causing the cyan wall-like object to reappear.

"It seems like the City God Mansion? City God Temple? Imperial City? It's not possible to determine exactly what building it might be at the moment, but it's certainly related to the City God's authority."

Another exploration gave Xiao Mu a new understanding of the wall-like object, and though he had not recognized exactly what it was, he deduced the significance of the object's presence.

"It is related to authority, and it should have manifested a spectacle when the City God's authority was invoked, but because my City God authority is being suppressed by the Five Elements Power, the Yin Yang Power, and the Power of Life and Death, it does not appear."

"It seems that making that cyan wall-like object fully manifest is indeed the ultimate goal Lord of Bai's Mansion mentioned for enhancing authority."

From his findings, Xiao Mu inferred, feeling his reasoning extremely plausible, "I wonder what else is recorded later on by the Lord of Bai's Mansion."

Continuing to use his Divine Sense to explore the content on the back of the ancient tile, the Lord of Bai's Mansion mentioned again: Once Mutated Beings enter the True Realm, enhancing one's strength becomes secondary; what's important is to enhance one's authority.

The weightier the authority, the stronger the strength; otherwise, mere power cultivation has its limits.

The Dismissal Technique can only dismiss the authority others impose on oneself and cannot enhance one's own; to improve one's authority, one must start from one's own cultivation.

Although methods to cultivate one's own authority do exist, they are mostly constrained by one's Realm, unable to break inherent limits, with those at the Divine Spirit Level forever trapped at that level, and those at the True God Level confined for life.

Even if there are cultivation methods capable of breaking one's limits, they are usually in the hands of Heavenly Gods and rarely open to others.

This Lord was not content and vowed to create a cultivation method to break the inherent limits, to break through the True God Realm and become a Heavenly God.

But there are only two paths to becoming a Heavenly God: one by controlling the world's top forces, and the other by controlling the top authority. With both these means to become a Heavenly God occupied by Heavenly Gods, it's impossible to usurp authority and take their place.

The Five Elements Power, Yin Yang Power, Curse Power, Sacred Power, Power of Creation and Destruction, and Power of Life and Death, although inferior in level, are not sufficient to become Heavenly Gods, yet in the cultivation of power, they share something in common with all the top forces.

Regrettably, in these peaceful times, the Five Elements Sect, the Yin Yang Sect, the Curse Gate, and the Life and Death Sect are all headed by True Gods; it's impossible to forcibly obtain cultivation methods for reference.

"Lord of Bai's Mansion wanted to obtain the cultivation methods of the Five Elements Sect, the Yin Yang Sect, the Life and Death Sect for reference?"

The records on the ancient tile made Xiao Mu's heart race with shock.

"When is the content recorded on this tile? Is it before the major sects rebelled?"

"Lord of Bai's Mansion wanted to become a Heavenly God, but with each sect headed by a True God and the world in peace, he had no opportunity to study their cultivation methods. Does this have a connection with the sudden rebellion of the sects later on?"

The sudden thought sent a chill through Xiao Mu's spine.

Lord of Bai's Mansion wanted to break through the True God Realm and become a Heavenly God but lacked the opportunity. He couldn't refer to the cultivation methods of the major sects and just when they rebelled, Lord of Bai's Mansion was tasked by the Heavenly Emperor to quell the rebellion. If there were no connections here, Xiao Mu would never believe it.

"Ancient Divine Spirits are no simple characters."

Xiao Mu sighed in realization, suddenly feeling that the great war of ancient times was far from as straightforward as he had imagined; it likely concealed many secrets that hadn't been broadcast.

Unfortunately, the records on the ancient tile were limited, and Lord of Bai's Mansion's documentation ended there.

"It's a pity there's nothing further, I wonder if Lord of Bai's Mansion ever referred to the cultivation methods of the major sects, if he ever created a method capable of breaking the limits and ascending to Heavenly Godhood."

The content of the document spurred Xiao Mu's thoughts, with his greatest curiosity being whether Lord of Bai's Mansion ultimately achieved Heavenly Godhood.

"The path of Lord of Bai's Mansion may not be suitable for me, but it can at least serve as a reference. Just as Lord of Bai's Mansion mentioned, I have yet to master the method of cultivating my authority to its peak."

The records left by Lord of Bai's Mansion on the ancient tile brought much inspiration to Xiao Mu, also granting him a certain advancement in strength.

At the very least, prior to this, he did not know that his own cultivation of authority had not reached its limit.

After all, until now, Xiao Mu's cultivation had always relied on Secret Manuals; his strength was merely due to practicing more mutations of the manuals than others, not because he was more diligent in cultivation than anyone else.

"Lord of Bai's Mansion ended up confined within the True God Realm, and I could also end up trapped at that level."

"After all, the authority of Heavenly Gods is already occupied by others; even if I could cultivate to True God, without the ability to break into Heavenly God status, it would be difficult to usurp another's authority."

"If only Lord of Bai's Mansion had created a cultivation method to ascend to Heavenly God."

"Yes, next I can search for any information left by Lord of Bai's Mansion. Perhaps within, there might lie the cultivation method to ascend to Heavenly Godhood."
