"The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor trembled and flew out from within his body, by now, all thirty-two white spots inside the Emperor's Seal had aligned.

The authority of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor had significantly increased, thirty-two white spots connected by white lines, and a clear human-like illusion completely emerged.

"Excellent!"

Xiao Mu stared at the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, feeling a sense of relief wash over him.

There was no doubt that after Zheng Yunlei took away the Netherlord Order, he must have immediately used it for someone in need at the Headquarters.

It was precisely because of this that the power of "The King's Enthronement Technique" he was cultivating had further enhanced.

Feeling the faintly released formidable authority of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, Xiao Mu clearly knew that he could now easily strip any Mutated Being of the Yin God Level of their authority, and just needed another enhancement to have the capability to strip Divine Spirit Level Mutated Beings of their authority.

Once again checking the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, he discovered that in the seal, right below the left leg of the human-like illusion, there was a cluster of white energy gathering.

"This cluster of energy must be the residual unutilized authority brought by the Netherlord Order. Now, if I can find the correct cultivation method, I will be able to utilize this energy on the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, continue to enhance its authority, and strip Divine Spirits of their treasures and positions."

Xiao Mu tried to control the additional cluster of energy, and upon a thought, the entire human-like illusion was activated and unexpectedly began to move within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

The human-like illusion extended both hands, reaching towards nothingness to grasp, swinging both hands as if catching positions, and seemingly also trying to grab Divine Treasures.

"I understand now, the way the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor strips authority is like this; by subduing the opponent with the seal, then the human-like illusion inside the seal will release its power to seize the enemy's treasures and positions."

"I really want to try it with a top expert of the Yin God Level. I wonder if it can only strip treasures and positions from Mutated Beings possessing Yin God positions in the Yin God Realm, or if it can also strip positions and treasures from those Divine Spirit Level Beings possessing Yin God positions."

"I get it, it should work like this. Whether the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor can strip the opponent's positions, first depends on whether I have the strength to suppress the opponent, and only after I have the capability to suppress the opponent, can I use the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor to strip their positions and treasures."

"Otherwise, if the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor can't even touch the opponent, how could the human-like illusion from the seal take away the opponent's positions and authority?"

A new thought flashed through his mind, and Xiao Mu instantly understood a lot more. Now, he could strip not just the positions and treasures of the Yin God, but he could strip those of any Divine Spirit Level Being within his suppression ability.

"Haha, seems like I should find someone to test this; from now on, I finally do not have to worry about lacking positions and Divine Treasures in my hands."

"The only regret is that for now, I can only strip positions and treasures of the Yin God, to strip those of a Divine Spirit, I still have to rely on the Creation Axe."

Unknowingly, Xiao Mu returned to the Talisman Shop.

Back in his room at the Talisman Shop, Xiao Mu settled down and continued his cultivation.

Considering the Talisman Shop had once been visited by the Lord of the Nether River, it would be impossible not to worry about him coming again.

But in order to find traces of Li Jing, Xiao Mu was somewhat looking forward to the other party showing up.

"If the Lord of the Nether River shows up again, I can ask Senior Zhou for help, and if that doesn't work, I can also seek help from Emperor Miaoyi."

"Even if Emperor Miaoyi has only remnants left, he is not someone the Lord of the Nether River could contend with."

"But since Emperor Miaoyi has only remnants left, consuming energy will reduce the duration of existence, it's better not to ask this senior to act unless absolutely necessary."

"Fortunately, I have the Creation Axe, even if I am not a match for the Lord of the Nether River, escaping is still quite easy."

After weighing his own strengths against the Lord of the Nether River, Xiao Mu felt there was no need to be overly concerned; even if the Lord of the Nether River came, he was not entirely without means to contend.

For him, the most important thing right now was to find Li Jing and to investigate the shadows within Li Jing's body.

"Contact Li Qi to inquire about the routine details of Li Jing, perhaps there will be some gains. To contact Li Qi, I need to go through Tao Qin..."

A complete plan gradually formed in Xiao Mu's heart, but soon, he suddenly felt someone trying to contact him."

"Hmm, someone is contacting my Divine Sense."

Xiao Mu closed his eyes, extended his divine sense, and then directly opened his eyes using the Divine Sense.

"Brother Mu, I'm sorry to disturb you again!"

Zhu Ping stood in front of the Divine Sense at Zhao Jingyan's home, bowing to Xiao Mu.

"There's no need for formalities, Brother Zhu, just speak directly," Xiao Mu extended his right hand towards Zhu Ping.

"Brother Mu, we just received a message from headquarters saying that three Mutated Beings from beyond the skies have intruded into Twilight Forest Village. One of them is from the Life and Death Sect who used the Immortal Divine Technique to escape the killing by Alliance experts, and the other two used Mirror Image Technique and Past Reincarnation Mantra to get away."

Immortal Divine Technique? Mirror Image Technique? Past Reincarnation Mantra?

The news from Zhu Ping sent a slight tremor through Xiao Mu's heart.

He himself had cultivated the Immortal Divine Technique and knew that this divine technique relied on the Power of Incense Fire to rebirth after death; the method used by Divine Sovereign Undying for rebirth was this very one.

Moreover, Xiao Mu heard about the Mirror Image Technique and Past Reincarnation Mantra for the first time; clearly, they were Authority Techniques that appeared after Heavenly Dao entered the human world that, in form, bear a curious similarity to his One Stroke Life and Death Technique.

"Do you know their purpose for entering Twilight Forest Village?"

Xiao Mu spoke through his Divine Sense, which had a sacred tone to it.

Zhu Ping respectfully said, "It is said that it's for the matter of Divine Sovereign Undying's rebirth. Blood of Divine Sovereign Undying has already been sent to Twilight Forest Village, preparing for his rebirth."

Blood of Divine Sovereign Undying? Preparing for Divine Sovereign Undying's rebirth?

Xiao Mu was suddenly startled.

Has Divine Sovereign Undying already reached the stage of needing to use blood for rebirth? Does this mean he has already completed setting up temples, even enjoying the offerings of Incense Fire?

The new information threw Xiao Mu into a slight panic; after all, Divine Sovereign Undying is a formidable figure capable of battling with Lord of Bai's Mansion. Today, the Dalin Abyss formed from the great war between Undying and Lord of Bai's Mansion during ancient times still exists near Twilight Forest Village.

Such a level of power, once allowed to successfully rebirth, is definitely not something ordinary True Gods Mutated Beings can handle.

Zhou Xuanmen is the ancestor of curses, yet Xiao Mu felt that his power was probably not on par with Divine Sovereign Undying.

This is troublesome!

The news of Divine Sovereign Undying posed a significant challenge for Xiao Mu, yet he clearly did not intend to show any panic in front of Zhu Ping, and calmly said, "What are the movements of the Alliance experts stationed outside Twilight Forest Village?"

"The experts outside the village have already sent strong figures into the village, reportedly to search for the Mutated Beings who intruded."

"We have already notified the Village Protection Team, asking us to help provide information and when necessary, to surround and kill the three Mutated Beings who just intruded into the village."

"I understand. When necessary, I will take action. If any of you encounter the three Mutated Beings from beyond the heavens, you can ask for my help." Xiao Mu spoke unhurriedly through his Divine Sense.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ping was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Xiao Mu, "I'll thank Brother Mu on behalf of the Village Protection Team first."

Xiao Mu waved his hand, changing the subject, "How is the alliance leader progressing with searching for treasures of Thunder God Qing Jie?"

"This..."

Zhu Ping paused for a moment before responding, "Not to hide from Brother Mu, the Alliance leader has already found some of Thunder God Qing Jie's treasures in the Village Protection Team's Warehouse, but he feels that these treasures are too few. They are not enough to exchange for a Divine Spirit Tablet with Brother Mu. Hence, he is currently inviting Mutated Beings in the village to search Canghua Mountain, where Thunder God Qing Jie once appeared, to find his remnants. He plans to offer a large amount of these remnants to Brother Mu and exchange them for a Divine Spirit Tablet."

This Yu Jiasheng is quite systematic in his approach!

Zhu Ping's response secretly impressed Xiao Mu, and it seemed that the time for him to enhance his authority was not far off.
