Place the Creation Axe into the pool and begin absorption.

At the same time, Xiao Mu couldn't help but fall deep into thought.

The Five Elements Sect members actually used the Five-colored Halo again, trying to pull him out.

Although Xiao Mu couldn't see the situation outside the Creation Light Screen and wasn't clear about what happened after the halo failed to seize him, he could well imagine that the sect members were definitely waiting for him to come out.

But he couldn't possibly hide in the Creation Light Screen forever, could he?

To go out would mean danger.

Xiao Mu had already experienced the power of the Five-colored Halo.

Several people joining forces, aided by the Great Array—that tremendous binding force was indeed difficult for him to resist. If struck again, escaping would be nearly impossible.

Last time, the Five Elements Sect underestimated his strength and only four joined forces to attack him. Xiao Mu had managed to use the Heavenly God Body alongside the Changeable Divine Technique to block them, seizing the opportunity to escape with Creation Power.

Now, knowing his trump cards, would the sect give him another chance?

The Heavenly God Body plus the Changeable Divine Technique could block an attack from four people joining forces, but could it resist an attack from five, six, or seven people?

Xiao Mu held little hope for that outcome.

But then, how could he possibly deal with an attack from the combined forces of the sect members?

Xiao Mu continued pondering. He thought of the remaining eighteen secret manuals but quickly dismissed the idea.

If the Heavenly God Body and Changeable Divine Technique couldn't protect him, mastering more secret techniques wouldn't make much of a difference either.

In terms of power level compared to the Five Elements Sect's combined might, Xiao Mu was at a disadvantage.

No matter how strong he was alone or how many divine abilities he cultivated, without breaking through his current realm, he could never be their match.

What to do?

Unconsciously, Xiao Mu glanced at the Creation Light Screen.

The Creation Light Screen?

A glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Mu's eyes.

The power of the Creation Light Screen was something he had not only personally experienced but had also witnessed firsthand not long ago.

Indeed, it was extraordinarily powerful.

The Five-colored Halo unleashed with the combined forces of the sect members and the Great Array fell apart instantly against the raging Creation Light Screen—it couldn't withstand it at all.

From this, it was clear that the strength of the Creation Light Screen far surpassed the combined efforts of the sect members.

If he could control the Creation Light Screen, would he still need to fear the sect?

But how could the Creation Light Screen be controlled?

Xiao Mu couldn't help but turn his gaze back to the Creation Pool and, within it, the Creation Axe.

The Creation Axe, the Creation Pool, the Creation Light Screen—although distinct, they shared the same origin, all born from the power of Creation.

If they were all derivatives of Creation Power, could it be possible to use one type of power to control another?

Glug, glug, glug!

The Creation Axe continued absorbing the Creation Liquid, but the speed of absorption was visibly slowing.

The Creation Power within the axe was gradually approaching its limit, nearly reaching saturation.

Xiao Mu walked back to the Creation Pool to wait for the Creation Axe to fill completely.

It only took a minute or two before the axe had finally ceased absorbing the Creation Liquid.

Xiao Mu extended his hand, grasping the handle of the Creation Axe, and drew it out of the pool.

A sensation akin to blood and flesh merging flowed into Xiao Mu's heart. After prolonged use, the axe had left him with a profound sense of familiarity.

With the Creation Power fully charged, the Creation Axe appeared significantly more powerful than before.

Crack!

Xiao Mu wielded the axe and directed a beam of Creation Light at the Creation Light Screen.

This was a test to see if the Creation Axe could control the Creation Light Screen.

Whoosh!

The Creation Light flew directly into the screen.

Being the same kind of power, the Creation White Light emitted by Xiao Mu was instantly absorbed by the Creation Light Screen.

No chance!

Xiao Mu frowned.

Using the Creation Axe to wield Creation Power was ineffective for controlling the Creation Light Screen. The power he unleashed was instead absorbed by the screen itself.

Could the method for controlling the screen lie elsewhere?

The Creation Pool? The Creation Beads?

At the thought of those, Xiao Mu felt his heart stir again.

Each Creation Light Screen corresponds to a Creation Pool and a Creation Bead. Xiao Mu refused to believe there was no connection between these three matching components.

But where was the connection?

The Creation Pool was undoubtedly an energy supply. The energy provided by the pool flowed through the Creation Beads and into the Creation Array, allowing the array to function.

If so, then what was the Creation Light Screen, and what was its purpose?

Xiao Mu didn't think the screen existed without meaning. Its presence in the Creation Array must serve a purpose—he just hadn't figured out what yet.

Step! Step! Step!

Xiao Mu moved toward the Creation Pool.

"Xiao Mu went missing?"

Wood Spirit gazed toward Earth Spirit God in confusion.

That Xiao Mu had vanished, leaving no trace, perplexed him—it was unclear what had transpired.

"He must have fled to the core of the Great Array. Rest assured, he'll emerge sooner or later. The moment he does, he'll be seized immediately."

Earth Spirit God laughed confidently, his faith in the array unwavering.

"Ah~"

Luo Zhan suddenly exclaimed aloud.

The crowd instinctively turned their eyes toward him.

Luo Zhan stared at Wood Spirit God. "Respected Envoy Wood, Gold Spirit God just reached out to me, saying he couldn't contact you and wanted to know my current situation."

Wood Spirit God replied, "My Fate Talisman is attuned to the Broken Sky Divine Array. No wonder he couldn't reach me. Hand me your Fate Talisman—I'll talk to him."

"Yes."

Luo Zhan complied, releasing a beam of white light from his hand, which flew toward Wood Spirit God.

"Report!"

The Human World Base—a Divine Spirit Realm Mutated Being rushed inside. "Grand Elder Zhou, latest update: Meng Xuantong is suddenly on the move, heading due south. According to Leader Lü of the Three Emperors' Tomb, Gold Spirit God is currently in contact with him."

"Gold Spirit God reached out to Meng Xuantong? Got it. You may leave—continue gathering intel. I'll handle Meng Xuantong's matter."

Zhou Xuanmen nodded, instructing the Mutated Being to continue investigating.

The messenger promptly exited.

"Meng Xuantong is making a move. Little Zhou, need my assistance against him?" Wu De Divine Monarch suddenly stretched his limbs.

The elder's interest was piqued by the recent report.

"When the battle starts, I shall certainly call upon your help, fellow Daoist."

Zhou Xuanmen offered a rare smile. "For now, with Gold Spirit God contacting Meng Xuantong, this likely involves the Sealed Land. Xiao Gu!"

"Xiao Gu, here—awaiting Grand Elder's orders!"

Zhou Xuanmen's aide Xiao Gu stepped forth hastily.

"Notify headquarters to prepare the Human Emperor Seal—I may call for it at any time."

"Understood!"

※※※

Crash!

Three Emperors' Tomb—high above, atop a cloud of Five Elements True Gold, Gold Spirit God held a pentagonal mirror.

This mirror bore five colors altogether, representing the Five Elements Divine Mirror.

He aligned the divine mirror toward the Sealed Land's entrance, infused it with True Force, and instantly, a beam of Five Elements True Gold Light shot forth, piercing deep into the Sealed Land.

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Heavy, long, thunderous breaths emanated from the mirror—deafening yet surpassing the sound of thunder, akin to an entire mountain range or ocean exhaling.

The five-colored light shifted within the mirror, eventually revealing a weathered figure seated in void.

The figure sat in a mountain cave, its entrance veiled by sparse chaos. White Creation Chains bound its wrists and ankles.

However, the surface of these white chains was infested with True Five Elements Power.

The invasive power from the True Five Elements had eroded the chains, leaving the once wrist-thick constraints now as thin as threads.

"Gold Spirit God pays respect to the Ancestor!"

Above the True Gold Cloud, Gold Spirit God suddenly dropped to his knees, bowing deeply to the elder.

The aged figure seemed to hear Gold Spirit God's voice, and its eyelids twitched faintly.

※※※

"The Creation Axe can't directly control the Creation Light Screen. Can the Creation Pool?"

Wondering aloud, Xiao Mu grasped the axe and left the Creation Light Screen, returning to the side of the Creation Pool.

Crack!

He swung the axe, directing a surge of Creation Power toward the pool.
