"Huh!"

Zhao Yan's words immediately reminded Xiao Mu.

What Zhao Yan said made sense - exterminating a clan or slaughtering a city were merely acts of personal vengeance. As compared with those, the edicts of Conquer Barbarians, Exterminate Barbarians or Pacify Chaos - all considered Kill Orders - were far superior.

The former were mere personal revenge, but the latter were truly national level matters.

It would be even better if these were done by the ancient saints during the Conquer Barbarians, Exterminate Barbarians, or Pacify Chaos campaigns.

Xiao Mu had always thought that Zhao Yan was smart. This suggestion made him see her in a new light.

"You make a good point, Zhao Yan," Xiao Mu said immediately, "Let's follow your suggestion and replace the previous Kill Orders with the likes of Conquer Barbarians, Exterminate Barbarians, and Pacify Chaos kind of Imperial Edicts."

Xiao Mu was overjoyed at Zhao Yan's suggestion.

It was obvious that the Kill Orders created in this way would be much more powerful than those of exterminating clans or slaughtering cities.

As the Heavenly Emperor, his Imperial Edicts should be majestic and ostentatious, even if the ultimate purpose was to kill people.

Zhao Yan thought for a while and then released another suggestion, "Mr. Mu, those royal edicts you mentioned, like major canonization, promoting reforms, ascending to the throne, these kinds of Imperial Edicts are hard to find. So I was thinking, could Sui Yangdi be considered a saint?"

"Sui Yangdi?"

Xiao Mu was stunned when he heard this.

There were indeed many debates about Sui Yangdi - he may not be considered a saint, but his achievements could not be denied.

Zhao Yan continued, "Those kinds of Imperial Edicts you mentioned are hard to find. There are only a few ancient saints, so it's not easy to find an Imperial Edict from when they ascended to the throne. There aren't many famous reformations in history, and I guess you wouldn't want a reformation that ended in failure. As for those considered major endowments, they are also counted on one hand."

"So, I need to first ask for clarification: in the event that we find Sui Yangdi's Imperial Edict, such as the one for the construction of the Grand Canal, or the one for the campaign against Goguryeo, would you want it? Although Sui Yangdi may not be considered a saint, these two events were indeed monumental, and you're seeking Imperial Edicts from saints. What if, by chance, we only find these two? Would you want them?"

Zhao Yan's words momentarily stumped Xiao Mu.

After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I?"

What was there to hesitate about?

Just like Zhao Yan said, those types of Imperial Edicts he was looking for weren't easy to come by - why not accept anything similar that comes along?

Even though Sui Yangdi may not be a saint, these two major deeds of his could indeed be considered great achievements throughout the ages. Surely, they would wield some genuine power.

"Okay, noted. Please wait for the good news, Mr. Xiao".

Zhao Yan added, "I would like to clarify one thing: although I will do my best to help you find the edict, the kind you're looking for isn't easy to find - don't blame me if we can't find the perfect match."

"The mere fact that you are willing to help me, I am already endlessly grateful. I look forward to your assistance, Zhao Yan."

Xiao Mu said sincerely, filled with gratitude.

He truly felt grateful. Without Zhao Yan's help, he wouldn't even know where to start looking for the Emperor's Seal, let alone the Imperial Edict.

After Zhao Yan inexplicably laughed, she hung up the phone.

Xiao Mu found this situation odd and couldn't understand why Zhao Yan laughed out of nowhere. However, he soon shifted his thoughts to other matters.

With the edict issue resolved, next was to help the Ghost Servant increase his strength.

He gave all of the power beads from the Xu Family Temple to the Ghost Servant, slightly enhancing his strength.

At this point, Xiao Mu felt an increasing necessity to mutate the latter art chapters of the Ghost King Scripture.

The power of the Ghost Servant was always limited by its realm of cultivation.

According to the current level of the Ghost Servant, he should have cultivated the Art Chapter of the Ghost King Scripture.

In Xiao Mu's hands were just six Energy Points left, not as much as he'd hoped for mutating the Ghost King Scripture.

He had to think of a way to obtain more Energy Points.

Xiao Mu searched the Internet, but couldn't find any data related to evil absurdities.

Instead, some information posted by netizens caught Xiao Mu's attention.

According to the posts of some experienced netizens, evil ghosts generally appear in cities, while zombies often hide in mountains and swamps, especially in graveyards and tombs.

"Zombies? In the wilderness?"

A thought suddenly occurred to Xiao Mu.

Why not go out and take a look in the wilderness?

He would not blindly venture into the wild without a plan; he would make arrangements before going.

Since, as per the netizens' posts, zombies often appear in areas with tombs or graves, would ancient tombs or prehistoric graves be even more prone to attracting zombies?

That's obvious.

Moreover, zombies are more likely to appear in luxurious burial sites than ordinary ones because they have more burial accessories.

After the World Mutation, these ancient burial accessories had a high chance of mutation.

Some tomb raiders even claimed to have found complete secret manuals and extraordinary treasures in ancient tombs, arousing envy.

Apart from the tombs, there were also ruins, abandoned temples and Taoist temples, and even battlefields. These could all potentially harbour evil absurdities, just like the ancient tombs.

It could be said that places rich in treasures had a higher probability of evil absurdity occurrence because ancient treasures had a high chance of mutation.

These evil absurdities could improve their abilities by consuming these mutated treasures.

Taking certain factors into account, Xiao Mu did not intend to explore these desolate ruins alone.

He thought for a while and then asked Wang Tong and Zhao Yan, "I would like to explore the ancient tomb area near Qiwu mountain. Would you two like to join me?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yan immediately responded.

"Boss Mu, don't forget to include me!"

Wang Tong also said immediately after.

"Alright then, one of the two of you should drive an off-road vehicle, and we will go together. Make sure the vehicle has good performance and can handle mountains and hills as though they were plains."

Xiao Mu laughed and said.

With the journey being so long, having a vehicle was essential.

"I have a Wrangler."

Zhao Yan claimed.

"Tycoon!"

Wang Tong sent a single word.

Indeed, it is convenient to have a rich friend.

The three gathered together, taking turns to drive towards Qiwu Mountain.

After several hours, they finally arrived at the Qiwu Mountain region.

Zhao Yan took out a tablet and looked at the satellite map.

After the World Mutation, the map had been restructured; however, it was still not particularly detailed. Many new occurrences were not recorded.

Fortunately, the trio were not here to seek out the newly emerged landscapes, but the ancient tombs that had been there before.

Their aim was the tombs that had existed for over a hundred years.

These ancient tomb areas could even be considered good tourist spots before the World Mutation. But after the mutation, not many dared to visit these places, given that zombies could appear at any time. Even top-level warriors made sure to come in groups.

"Over there, there's an ancient tomb belonging to a prefect from the previous dynasty," Zhao Yan pointed towards the hillside to the east after studying the map for a while.
