Xiao Mu thought about it and finally concluded that if he only had one or two pieces of official attire and not the complete set, he would not be able to unleash the ultimate combat effectiveness that comes with the full set.
"Lord of Bai's Mansion's records are very detailed, and they are of great importance for my reference. At the moment, I already have the Life and Death Book and the Judge Pen, and I am in the second level of the realm of the city god. If I manage to get a full set of the city god's official attire, I can enter the third level of the city god's realm and become a top-tier presence among the city gods."
"No, not exactly right."
Xiao Mu suddenly smiled bitterly, realizing that his statement wasn't completely correct. The three levels of Divine Spirits that Lord of Bai's Mansion had outlined surely didn't take into account the situation of a Divine Spirit not cultivating the corresponding Emperor Authority secret manual.
"If I take into account the cultivation of Emperor Authority secret manuals, my situation surely wouldn't be as optimistic as I think it is."
Xiao Mu couldn't help but reflect on his previous battles with Mutated Beings from beyond Heaven and Earth, including the avatar of Thunder God in the Qing Jie, Duanmu Gong, and even the young Netherlord he had fought before.
In the end, Xiao Mu realized that without the various treasures, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Creation Axe, the difficulty of defeating his opponent would be beyond imagination.
"The Changeable Divine Technique has enhanced my combat power to a certain extent but has not increased my authority. To boost my own authority and possess the combat power of an actual city god, I also need to consider the Emperor Authority secret manuals."
"To ensure I'm not too weak when I ascend to the True God Realm in the future, I need to strengthen my foundational power now; otherwise, it will be too late to make up for it when I reach the True God Realm."
"To obtain the Emperor Authority secret manual of a True God, besides seizing them from Mutated Beings from beyond, I can also contact the Alliance to see if they have the corresponding manuals."
"With the Alliance being so vast and its foundation so profound, and with beings like the Human Emperor at the level of Heavenly God leading it, it wouldn't be surprising if it had Emperor Authority secret manuals."
"Besides the Alliance, I can also contact others, trading treasures to obtain what I need from them."
Thinking of using treasures in exchange, Xiao Mu couldn't help but smile. Now, with the many treasures he had, he didn't need to worry about the lack of resources for the trade.
He took out the treasures he had on hand and laid them out in front of him, including the Soul Summoning Banner and Yin Soul Book, the Spirit Commander Crown, and the Netherlord Order.
All these four treasures could surely suffice to exchange for one city god's Emperor Authority secret manual, but what exactly comprises the city god's Emperor Authority secret manuals, what do they include, and how many are there?
I should ask Headquarters.
With that thought, Xiao Mu couldn't help but take out his cellphone and send a message to Zhou Xuanmen, stating his need for the city god's Emperor Authority secret manual, and then he waited for Zhou Xuanmen's response.
However, Zhou Xuanmen seemed to be researching the records of Lord of Bai's Mansion just like him and didn't reply to Xiao Mu for a while.
After not receiving a response for several hours, Xiao Mu, feeling utterly bored, began to ponder over his strength issue once more.
In his recent confrontations, he had relied on the Creation Axe to seize treasures from others, which gave Xiao Mu a headache.
The Creation Axe consumed resources every time it was used, especially when used against powerful opponents, causing excessive consumption. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the Creation Axe was exhausted.
Yet, the Creation Axe's assistance was too significant; sometimes, he had no choice but to use it; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to seize treasures and positions from beings like Duanmu Gong.
The Creation Axe shouldn't be used this way; it must be saved for critical moments. Who knows when I might need the Creation Axe? Moreover, I have promised Li Jiesheng a chance to use it, not for Li Jiesheng himself, but for the Life and Death Emperor.
Xiao Mu was clear that the so-called single use opportunity wasn't for Li Jiesheng but for the Life and Death Emperor, and even though he was not sure what the Life and Death Emperor would use that opportunity for, Xiao Mu obviously wasn't thinking of breaking his promise to a being at the level of Heavenly Gods, at least not until he had stepped into the Heavenly God Level himself and had the power to contend with Emperor Xuanding.
"If I am to use the Creation Axe sparingly, I can only rely on the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor."
Xiao Mu casually brought out the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor; the Supreme Intention rained down on him, as if he was draped in a golden Xia Clothes.
Xiao Mu began to consider the power of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor. Like the Creation Axe, it had the ability to take away others' positions.
Creation Power snatches the Creation from Heaven and Earth and can be said to be omnipotent, while the Supreme Intention could suppress everything, yet there was a difference between the two.
In terms of sheer might alone, the Power of Creation was clearly no match for the Supreme Intention of the Heavenly Emperor. The reason Xiao Mu's Seal of the Heavenly Emperor wasn't fully functional was simply due to a disparity in levels between himself and the Seal.
"The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor itself possesses formidable power, yet I cannot harness this power because I haven't mastered the specific methods to wield it."
"And the King's Authority Sealing Technique is one of the methods to utilize the Emperor's Might, making the power of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor even stronger in my hands."
Thinking about the King's Authority Sealing Technique, Xiao Mu turned his gaze to the sixteen white dots that had appeared within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.
These sixteen white dots were scattered across different parts of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, each shining brightly, seemingly interconnected. It was as though with a bit more effort, they could be wholly linked up.
"With the Emperor Authority I currently possess, I should be able to strip away the professions and treasures of most Mutated Beings of the Yin God Level, but for those of the Divine Spirit Level, I can't, unless I make use of the Creation Axe."
"Without a doubt, this is because the power of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor cannot be fully summoned."
"My King's Authority Sealing Technique is not yet perfected. To unleash the power of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, I must further enhance the strength of the King's Authority Sealing Technique."
"Perhaps..."
Xiao Mu looked at the sixteen white dots within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and suddenly had a curious thought.
The white dots that finally appeared within the Seal were surely not limited to these sixteen. The dots connected every part of the Seal like channels, funneling the Seal's power outwards.
Based on experience, there should be even more white dots. Perhaps, this is why I can only strip away some of the positions and treasures of the Yin Gods, but not those of the top-tier Yin Gods.
If I let the white dots completely permeate the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, I could funnel out all of its power and strip any Yin God of their position and treasure.
Xiao Mu ignited his imagination and finally felt his theory was correct.
He continued to observe the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and discovered that the white dots filled the square Seal in an almost regular pattern.
All the white dots formed a three-dimensional structure within the Seal, and the more Xiao Mu looked, the more he felt the arrangement of the dots depicted a person's figure.
Having been in long contact with his own city god, Xiao Mu even suspected that these white dots ultimately constituted his own Divine representation.
The King's Authority Sealing Technique was to cultivate one's Divine representation within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor?
The more Xiao Mu thought about it, the more likely it seemed, especially when he saw the name he had inscribed on the Seal drawn to the white dots, slowly shifting towards the very center of the Seal, further solidifying his idea.
"If these white dots ultimately form my Divine representation, I could deduce how many white dots are ultimately needed to create the Divine representation within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor."
Xiao Mu stared at the white dots, using the True Force to slowly trace them in the air with his hand. Then he connected these dots, and a three-dimensional humanoid structure gradually emerged.
But this three-dimensional humanoid structure appeared very crude, like a simple stick figure made of light.
Despite this, Xiao Mu still got the results he was looking for from the features of the light figure.
With the combination of sixteen white dots, the figure already looked quite complete, with limbs and part of the torso revealing themselves, leaving only some parts of the torso and the head.
"Three light dots for each limb, and the torso seems to require even more. Now that there are four, perhaps four more would bring it to perfection."
"And once the torso is complete, the next step would be the head."
"If the number of light dots required for the head is the same as for the torso, then all I need is twelve more light dots to fully form my Divine representation within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, which would then allow me to strip all beings at the Yin God Level of their professions and Divine Treasures."
