Zhou Xuanmen had just ascended to the True God Realm; how could his battle technique have been condensed bit by bit? Unless he had begun cultivating it before the Ancient Great War.

But that was clearly impossible.

Zhou Xuanmen replied, "Me? No, I had a strange encounter."

"A strange encounter?"

Xiao Mu's heart raced with excitement. Could it be that simple?

He hurriedly inquired, "Senior Zhou, what kind of strange encounter did you have? Can you tell me about it?"

"Certainly. However, my encounter was one of chance, not something one can seek out deliberately. It's not certain that everyone will experience it."

Zhou Xuanmen explained without reservation, "Half a year ago, not long after I had just started practicing a secret Battle Technique, I stumbled upon ancient ruins."

"It was an Ancient Battlefield. During ancient times, many powerful beings fought and died there."

"Normally, when powerful beings perish in battle, their authority dissipates."

"But the Ancient Battlefield I encountered had been sealed with great power, even the solidified authority was sealed there."

"As I entered the battlefield, I saw these solidified authorities and absorbed them to condense the Cursed Divine Cannon."

Could this be done? Was Senior Zhou's luck simply too good?

Xiao Mu was taken aback, as were the others, who were hearing this for the first time. They couldn't help but internally exclaim at Old Zhou's extraordinary luck!

How should I cultivate the power of the Yama Hammer's Life and Death Seal?

Xiao Mu fell into deep thought.

Zhou Xuanmen's cultivation method could not be replicated – such an encounter was unprecedented. The chance of him experiencing a similar one was extremely low. Was he really expected to cultivate slowly as Zhou Xuanmen suggested?

Where would he find such an abundance of time?

Boom! Boom boom! Crack!

Suddenly, thunderous roars erupted from the west, from the direction of Dalin Abyss, followed by an angry bellow:

"Zhou Xuanmen, Yuan Men is here, waiting for your challenge!"

Yuan Men, a Retribution Divine Monarch of the Heavenly Court, was beginning to challenge the Human world.

Due to some unknown reason, the Heavenly Court adhered to restraining itself within Dalin Abyss, abandoning direct assaults on the Human realm.

But both realms knew that, in terms of overt power, the Human world was no match for the Heavenly Court's presence in the Human realm.

With Meng Xuantong, who had just descended into the Heavenly God Realm, the Human realm had no one who could oppose him.

Despite the oppression by Meng Xuantong, the denizens of Heavenly Court chose not to directly attack the Human realm but decided first to seek the Life and Death Seal.

However, among the mutants of the Heavenly Court, it was clear that not everyone shared the same intentions. Beings like Retribution Divine Monarch Yuan Men and Lord of the Nether River Yu Tong were likely of the mindset to start the battle immediately.

After several days of silence, the beings of Heavenly Court finally erupted, with Retribution Divine Monarch Yuan Men actively inviting Zhou Xuanmen to battle.

At the same time, amidst the flash of thunderbolts in the high sky, a Retribution Cloud supported Yuan Men's body aloft.

From his eyes shot two thick beams of Retribution Brilliance, sweeping carelessly over the Human camp.

These two beams of Retribution Brilliance, like swords, swept across the Human camp, piercing through mountains in their path.

"Ignore him!"

Zhou Xuanmen waved his right hand, casting a burst of Curse Light.

This grayish-black Radiance flew out, transforming into a vast curtain of clouds, instantly blocking Yuan Men's line of sight.

"Zhou Xuanmen, you dare not fight me! People of the Human world, are you really going to hide indefinitely?"

Yuan Men taunted, the vibrations of his Divine Sense Communication shaking the high heavens, covering them as they fell.

"Ignore him!"

Zhou Xuanmen's expression darkened, but he still chose to endure and once again cast a burst of Curse Light, blocking Yuan Men's voice from penetrating further, holding it outside.

Xiao Mu was gravely serious. Though the Heavenly Court had not attacked the Human world for the time being, the threat was overwhelming.

The power of the Human world was incomparable to that of the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court had three True Gods, including formidable beings like Meng Xuantong.

On the Human side, for now, there was only Zhou Xuanmen, a single True God, and not a match for Meng Xuantong.

The Heavenly Court would not stay inactive forever.

Perhaps, the moment the Heavenly Court acquires the Life and Death Seal, they will attack the Human world.

At that time, as someone who holds the Emperor's Might, I will surely be the primary target for the Heavenly Court to capture.

Others might have a chance to flee, but the Heavenly Court will never grant me the opportunity to escape.

Xiao Mu's heart surged with a strong sense of crisis.

The Human world might topple, and I must save myself. Of course, the best method is to help the Human world withstand the Heavenly Court.

"In a few days, the Heavenly Court's Reverse Creation Divine Array will be ready."

"Once the Reverse Creation Divine Array operates and opens the Creation Array, it will seize the Life and Death Seal."

"The Life and Death Seal is of great importance; it cannot fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court."

"We must do everything in our power to stop the Heavenly Court. I will contact Wu De Divine Monarch for his second assistance."

Zhou Xuanmen spoke solemnly, instructed everyone to disperse, and then he himself flew off, returning to his dwelling to contact Wu De Divine Monarch.

Anxious to cultivate the Authority of Life Technique, Xiao Mu cupped his hands towards the others, then returned to his retreat to continue his cultivation.

After exchanging a few words, the others also left one after the other.

The emergence of the Life and Death Seal is imminent; a Great War is about to break out, and anyone could die. One must prepare in advance if they wish to survive.

Upon returning to his dwelling, Xiao Mu began cultivating the Authority of Life Technique. He extracted his own authority power and used the Authority of Life Technique, attempting to condense a second Yama Hammer.

An illusionary image of a Yama Hammer appeared before him.

This Yama Hammer, unlike the first one, though still an illusion, already had a framework, simply awaiting filling.

Authority is the flesh and blood meant to fill this Yama Hammer framework.

Several hours later, Xiao Mu extracted a strand of city-guard authority and injected it into the illusionary Yama Hammer.

The illusionary Yama Hammer immediately had a small area solidify slightly.

"Too slow!"

Xiao Mu gazed at the solidified patch within the illusionary Yama Hammer.

Too slow indeed, relying on the authority accumulated daily to refine this second Yama Hammer, the progress was painfully slow.

Perhaps, following a standard cultivation method, it would take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to condense a second Yama Hammer, just as Zhou Xuanmen said.

Normal cultivation methods are unacceptable; there must be some other way. But the fortuitous encounters mentioned by Elder Zhou are something you can only come across, not seek...

Inside the Three Emperors' Tomb, within the ancient tomb cluster, Lv Liangping employed the Riding Clouds and Mist Technique, sitting at a low altitude with three people around him, including two elders and the Second Leader of the Three Emperors' Tomb, Qi Jin.

The two elders were powerhouses sent by Headquarters to assist, both in the True God Realm.

Lv Liangping looked around at everyone and said seriously: "Gentlemen, the Five Elements Sect has found the Five Elements ancestor's Sealed Land in the Heavenly Emperor Domain."

"Soon the Divine Spirits will break the seal, allowing the Five Elements Sect's powerhouses to enter the Sealed Land and release the Five Elements ancestor."

"Given the current situation, we cannot allow the Five Elements ancestor to return to the world!"

"My proposal is that the four of us take the moment when the Divine Spirits open the seal, break into the Sealed Land, destroy the Great Array at the entrance, stop the Divine Spirits from entering, and search for the Five Elements ancestor within the array."

"As long as we can find the Five Elements ancestor first and slay him in the Sealed Land, the hidden danger will be removed."

As he spoke, Lv Liangping suddenly showed a smile, "Given that the Five Elements ancestor has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, his strength, even if still present, must be greatly damaged. And with the seal not yet lifted, the Chains of Creation binding him, and his strength eroded by Chaos Power, the power that the Five Elements ancestor can exert is probably less than a tenth."

"Our joint efforts should be more than enough to kill him."

"Gentlemen, what do you think? Is my plan feasible?"

※※※

In the Three Emperors' Tomb, within the Heavenly Emperor Domain, among the ancient hills, the figures of several Divine Spirits flickered in and out of view.

The strength of these Divine Spirits varied; the strongest were in the True God Realm, while even the weakest were in the Divine Spirit Realm, all radiating with the Brilliance of the Five Elements.

Among them, a man in the True God Realm suddenly looked up into the distance, anxiously saying, "Are the Divine Spirits not acting yet? When will they open the passage for us to enter the Unknown Area and seek the ancestor?"

"Hush, be quiet, do not speak of the Divine Spirits behind their backs!"

Another man in the True God Realm hastily interjected to silence him, holding a profound fear for the so-called 'Divine Spirits'.

Cloud Mist of Fate appeared faintly, covering everything below, rendering it impossible to see clearly what existed underneath.

Below the Cloud Mist of Fate, five formidable Divine Spirits stood, three men and two women, each dressed in battle garb of different colors.

These five people are the Five Elements Sect's Divine Spirits: Gold Spirit God, Wood Spirit God, Water Spirit God, Fire Spirit God, and Earth Spirit God, all naturally born Divine Spirits.

The man in the white battle armor is the Gold Spirit God, whose presence exudes the True God Realm's aura, tinged with the sharpness of Five Elements True Gold, he sighed, "Fifty thousand years have passed since Bai Jing sealed our ancestor. It's been fifty thousand years."

"Diligence is met with divine favor; at long last, we have located the Sealed Land of our ancestor."
