Xiao Mu continuously used his Escape Art as he made his way to the Spire.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the Spire, he halted his technique and slowly approached.

The condition of the Spire was the same as before, an Array around the courtyard prevented outsiders from entering, and there was a Guard stationed at the entrance.

After pondering for a few seconds, Xiao Mu decided to infiltrate; using Changeable Divine Technique, his body suddenly split, transforming from one into two.

One of the bodies slowly retreated, silently transforming into an ordinary grass growing by the roadside, drawing no attention whatsoever.

The other body, however, moved forward, transforming into the appearance of Mr. Qi, whom he had impersonated the last time he entered the Spire.

Xiao Mu did not fully trust Li Jiesheng, fearing that the information provided might be a plot to lead him into danger and elimination.

By using Changeable Divine Technique to split into two, leaving half of his body outside and only using the other half to enter, he could worry less about safety issues.

For Xiao Mu, who had cultivated the Changeable Divine Technique to morph at will, even sacrificing half of his body would not cause him significant detriment.

Transformed into Mr. Qi, Xiao Mu confidently walked toward the entrance of the Great Courtyard.

The Guard, seeing Xiao Mu, asked in surprise, "Mr. Qi, when did you leave?"

"Do I need to report to you whenever I go out?"

Xiao Mu, having altered his appearance and aura through Changeable Divine Technique to make it indistinguishable from a regular person, remembered Mr. Qi's character and did not hold back his disdain while speaking to the Guard.

"It was an unnecessary question, Mr. Qi—please," the Guard said.

Faced with the impolite Mr. Qi, the Guard found the behavior normal and greeted Xiao Mu with a smile, gesturing for him to enter the Great Courtyard.

Xiao Mu ignored the Guard and strode into the courtyard with his head held high.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The sounds of chaotic Escaping Techniques suddenly arose from within the courtyard, and numerous streaks of Escape Light rushed towards the entrance.

Fortunately, Xiao Mu remembered Mr. Qi's mortal status and did not dare to disrespect the True Realm Mutated Beings, quickly stepping aside to the left side of the road.

At the same time, Xiao Mu discreetly observed the approaching Mutated Beings.

There were about seven or eight members in this group, including various stages of the Yin God Realm, from Early Stage to Peak.

The Mutant Beings hurried toward the entrance; Xiao Mu deliberately sensed their aura and discovered that they were all Human World Mutant Beings.

If Li Jiesheng's information was accurate, this meant Qu Jingyi and all these Human World Mutant Beings had betrayed the human world.

The group of Mutated Beings paid no attention to the mortal "Mr. Qi" avoiding them on the roadside and passed through the courtyard entrance using their Escaping Techniques.

As soon as these Mutated Beings left, Xiao Mu rushed towards the Spire.

Along the way, he encountered more Mutated Beings from both Mortal Realm and True Realm, some who recognized Mr. Qi and some who did not; Xiao Mu maintained his aloof demeanor, merely responding to those who greeted him.

Half an hour later, he finally reached the Spire as he intended.

In front of the main entrance of the Spire, hundreds of ordinary people from the Human world were worshiping and burning incense before the deity image of Thunder God Qing Jie.

After the Retribution had struck, the ordinary people of Twilight Forest Village had become even more devout in their faith towards Thunder God Qing Jie.

Xiao Mu observed this and sighed silently, showing no abnormal expression; taking advantage of people approaching the deity image to offer incense, he transformed a piece of his hair into a fake body to replace himself, while his real body blended into the shadows of those burning incense to successfully enter the Spire.

Once inside the Spire, Xiao Mu headed straight for the Higher-ups.

The interior of the Spire was eerily empty; from the first to the sixth floor, Xiao Mu encountered no Mutated Beings.

Were the Mutated Beings who had just left the same ones inside the Spire, and were they out on a mission?

Where was Mr. Qu? Where was he?

Xiao Mu was not surprised when he didn't encounter any Mutated Beings from the first to the fifth floor, but the absence of any on the sixth floor made him suspicious.

Logically, Qu Jingyi should have stayed on the sixth floor; could it be that Qu Jingyi, like the group that had just left, was also gone on a mission?

This thought had barely flashed through Xiao Mu's mind before he dismissed it.

It was better that Qu Jingyi wasn't there; it made searching the place easier.

Standing at the stairway from the sixth floor leading to the seventh, Xiao Mu looked up.

The seventh floor appeared shrouded in mist, containing an overwhelming Power that secretly harbored lethal intent.

This was a protection Array; as long as it wasn't disturbed, it posed no danger, but triggering the Array by forcing through would be perilous.

Xiao Mu directly took out the Black Command Token left by Li Jiesheng from the Earth Seal Space. Holding the Command Token in his hand, a burst of power flowed from his palm into it.

The black Command Token lit up, projecting a beam of black light directly ahead like a flashlight.

This black light shone on the Black Mist of the seventh floor, causing the mist to suddenly disperse to the sides, revealing a narrow path in front of Xiao Mu.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Mu strode forward, commanding stick in hand, into the narrow passage.

A powerful Divine Aura surged towards him, faintly carrying the scent of Thunder.

Xiao Mu was startled and immediately transformed his body using the Changeable Divine Technique, merging with the shadows of the staircase.

At this moment, he could finally see the seventh floor clearly—there was only one room in the entire spire.

Yet, the room was empty, completely devoid of any contents.

Strangely, the empty room was filled with a powerful Divine Aura, exerting an intense oppressive feeling.

After taking a careful look at the room and seeing no danger, Xiao Mu unconsciously took a step forward.

Puff!

An odd noise was emitted, seemingly triggering an Array, and the violent Power of Incense Fire suddenly surged from below the Spire into the center of the room.

In the very center, under Xiao Mu's gaze, a small Vortex slowly took shape.

The Vortex undulated, continuously expanding and contracting, gradually enlarging. In just over a dozen seconds, it took the shape of a black Space Gate.
