Black Wind blew past, from Lan Jun's corpse, emerged a thin cluster, floating in the air, resembling fog.

Xiao Mu scrutinized it closely and then realized, within the fog, a trace of authority was faintly seeping through.

Could this be the Solidified Authority?

A thought struck Xiao Mu, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

This fog was too similar to Solidified Authority, it was very likely the real thing.

Unable to resist, he stretched out a finger and probed into the fog, only to feel a repelling force emanating from within, pushing his finger out, not allowing it to get close.

Indeed, this was Solidified Authority.

The joy on Xiao Mu's face intensified; surely, this fog was indeed Solidified Authority.

However, there was not much of this authority, less than he had imagined.

Xiao Mu understood in his heart.

This Lan Jun, being a natural Divine Spirit, had inherently weak authority, and naturally, the resultant Solidified Authority after death was sparse.

Natural Divine Spirits seem to be weaker than formal Divine Spirits.

Observing the Solidified Authority floating above Lan Jun's corpse, Xiao Mu made his judgment.

Just then, a breeze whisked past, and Lan Jun's corpse turned directly into black ash and was blown away.

By the time the Black Wind passed, the corpse has already decayed, unable to withstand even the wind's touch at this point.

"Absorb this cluster of authority first," he said.

Xiao Mu sat down cross-legged, released the Yama Hammer, employed the Technique of Life from Authority, and began the Absorption of the Solidified Authority that had separated from Lan Jun's corpse.

Woo!

Xiao Mu's body, with Seven Orifices wide open, each orifice drawing in with powerful suction, swiftly absorbed the Solidified Authority into his body.

As the authority entered his body, a chill arose within Xiao Mu, and he promptly directed this force, guiding it out of his body and condensing near the Yama Hammer.

A phantom Yama Hammer gradually materialized.

Three to five minutes later, Xiao Mu finished Absorption, eyeing the phantom Yama Hammer.

At this moment, the phantom Yama Hammer appeared much more solid, yet it was still ethereal.

"The authority is somewhat lacking, seems like at most one-seventh of it has been solidified."

Xiao Mu felt slightly disappointed; Lan Jun's authority was too weak, even the full Absorption could only allow him to solidify a mere one-seventh of the Yama Hammer.

"If only I could continue Absorbing, once I obtain a second Yama Hammer, my direct combat strength could at least increase by twenty to thirty percent."

An increase of twenty to thirty percent in combat strength may not seem a lot on paper, but in reality, in a direct confrontation, if one side is indeed stronger than the other by this margin, it would almost be a crushing advantage, a total supremacy.

"Unfortunately, fools like Lan Jun are probably rare in the Five Elements Sect. It's unlikely that others will be foolish enough to come to their deaths alone."

Xiao Mu felt a tinge of disappointment in his heart, but then he seemed to think of something, a trace of joy appeared on his face, "In the Sealed Land, there are quite a few people from the Five Elements Sect, can I lure the others here as well?"

"The Solidifying of Lan Jun's authority was not because I killed him, but due to the sudden appearance of that Black Wind."

"The Black Wind that passed over Lan Jun's Corpse, causing it to decay and the authority to solidify and separate."

"That Black Wind, I'm not sure what it is, nor can I control it. Similarly, I'm uncertain if it's exclusive to Kui Mountain."

"If the Black Wind is unique to Kui Mountain, then only by killing on Kui Mountain can Solidified Authority be produced."

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Xiao Mu's mind, making various judgments.

"Whether the Black Wind is exclusive to Kui Mountain needs verification. But it would be best to draw the people from the Five Elements Sect here."

He glanced at where Lan Jun's corpse had been just moments ago and suddenly felt regret, "What a pity, I killed him too soon, otherwise I could have made him send out false messages to lure the rest of the Five Elements Sect here."

"Without Lan Jun, I must find my own way. Let's try and see if I can draw the people from the Five Elements Sect to this place."

Xiao Mu's brow furrowed as he pondered how to lure the people of the Five Elements Sect to Kui Mountain, and before long, he had an idea.

Standing in his original spot, Xiao Mu's body suddenly split into three, and two of the three Xiao Mus immediately departed, running down the mountain.

As they ran, these two Xiao Mus both released the authority of a City God, generating Soaring Golden Light; in the high sky, two huge masses of golden glow formed, carried by the two clones, heading down the mountain.

"Changeable Divine Technique is indeed a fine Divine Power, it's a pity that my Realm is too low, and I can only split into two clones at a time. If only I could split into four, having one in each direction."

"Well, let's use this chance to explore Kui Mountain. I hope those two clones can go far enough to successfully attract the Five Elements Sect here."

While talking to himself, Xiao Mu headed back up the mountain, deciding to explore Kui Mountain.

To extract Solidified Authority, not only the corpses of the Five Elements Sect are needed, but also the Black Wind. Without the Black Wind, even if the people of the Five Elements Sect were killed and their corpses obtained, Solidified Authority would still not be produced.

Xiao Mu decided to search the mountain for the Black Wind, at least to ascertain the cause of the Black Wind.

If the Black Wind can be controlled, then all would be for the best.

He deployed his Escape Art, quickly ascending the mountain.

Ahead, the aura of death grew heavier; even though it was daylight and the sun was shining, the top of Kui Mountain was filled with Death Qi, radiating an unnerving Yin Qi, the air suffused with a cold chill.

The temperature on Kui Mountain was at least several tens of degrees lower than normal.

Fortunately, such a degree of temperature drop wasn't enough to affect Xiao Mu, a being of the Divine Spirits Realm.

Kui Mountain was very tall, and after a while, Xiao Mu reached halfway up the mountain.

At this point, the mountain was even more enveloped in forbidding Yin Qi, and beyond that, Xiao Mu also saw a Divine Corpse.
