"I'll see Xiao Grand Elder off!"

"No need, I still have urgent matters. You go about your business!"

Xiao Mu, after saying this, quickly walked away.

"Safe travels, Xiao Grand Elder!"

"Respectfully seeing off Xiao Grand Elder!"

The reception staff at Mengtian Pavilion quickly stood up to bid farewell as they saw Xiao Mu leave.

Xiao Mu said nothing and walked straight out of the hall.

As soon as he stepped out, planning to cloud-walk away, Xiao Mu suddenly stopped and almost instinctively looked to the left side road outside Mengtian Pavilion.

"Respected Envoy Chen, please let me explain. This time was truly an accident, really, just an accident. This usually doesn't happen. Please give Du Yao another chance. I will take full responsibility. How about we waive all charges this time? Additionally, I'll offer you two more opportunities to Conceal Heaven's Secrets free of charge."

A familiar voice reached Xiao Mu's ears.

On the roadside stood Du Yao's colleague, Xu Meng, who had left earlier, and the man with the surname Chen, who Du Yao was performing the Concealing Heaven's Secrets ritual for when Xiao Mu entered room seven.

The man with the surname Chen said unhappily, "These words are unnecessary with me. This is my first time encountering such a situation. Do you know the extent of the harm caused to the person being acted upon when the ritual is interrupted? And what about the damage to my Divine Sense? Hmph, is this your attitude when seeking help? What if it were me seeking you, how would you respond?"

"Many can assist you, you don't have to come to me. I have no power to assist you, find someone else."

Saying this, the man with the surname Chen initiated his Escape Art to leave.

Suddenly sensing something, the man turned, glanced at Xiao Mu, panicked upon seeing him, and quickly left Xu Meng, turning sharply to leave.

"Respected Envoy Chen, wait, let's negotiate. Can you name a condition?"

Xu Meng reluctantly pursued him.

"Cough, cough!"

Xiao Mu suddenly coughed, "You two, stop!"

"Ah, Xiao Grand Elder, it's you, you've finished and come out!"

Xu Meng turned and, seeing Xiao Mu, was extremely pleased.

The man, hearing Xiao Mu's words, trembled but still continued to leave.

"Stop! Knowing that I am the Grand Elder, you ignore my words and leave unauthorized, do you know the consequences?"

Xiao Mu scolded at the man's retreating figure.

The man, upon hearing this, trembled and immediately halted. He was only at the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, and Xiao Mu's threat was quite severe for him.

He awkwardly turned to Xiao Mu with a forced smile, "Chen Rui greets Xiao Grand Elder. May I ask, what matters do you wish to discuss?"

Xiao Mu ignored him and turned to Xu Meng, "What do you need from him?"

"Reporting to Xiao Grand Elder."

Xu Meng respectfully approached Xiao Mu, responding with a smile, "It's a personal matter of Du Yao. We'd like this Respected Envoy Chen's assistance."

Du Yao's personal matter?

Without a thought, Xiao Mu looked at Chen Rui, uninterested in the specifics, "Du Yao is my exclusive Concealing Envoy, you know that, right?"

"This..." Chen Rui hesitated but could not withstand Xiao Mu's authoritative pressure, replying with a forced smile, "Just... just learned."

"Good! Knowing is enough."

Xiao Mu maintained his True God pressure, "You should also know, I, as the Grand Elder, value this exclusive Concealing Envoy greatly. If she's bullied, I will pursue it."

"I... I wouldn't dare!" Chen Rui, drenched in cold sweat from the pressure, said, "I... I will try to help, but if beyond my ability, don't blame me."

"I trust that you'll do your best."

Xiao Mu smiled, suddenly withdrawing the pressure. A colorful cloud formed beneath him, carrying him decisively toward the northwest.

"Du Yao... Du Yao is truly lucky!" Xu Meng looked up at the departing cloud and sighed deeply, filled with intense envy.

Du Yao has met a huge backer, why hasn't such fortune befallen me?

"Cough, cough! Xu Meng, about what you and I discussed earlier..." Chen Rui, seeing Xiao Mu leave and the pressure disappearing, couldn't help wiping his cold sweat and began speaking to Xu Meng.

Xiao Mu rode the cloud of the Five Elements directly toward the Five Elements Divine Mountain of Zun.

"Greetings, Xiao Grand Elder!"

"Hello, Xiao Grand Elder!"

The guards of the Five Elements Divine Mountain quickly came out to greet Xiao Mu upon seeing him.

"No need for ceremony, is Grand Elder Mei here?"

Xiao Mu asked offhandedly.

"Grand Elder Mei is receiving guests, Xiao Grand Elder, please enter!" The guards opened the way.

Xiao Mu entered, led by a servant, toward Zun's parlor.

"Xiao Mu has arrived!"

"Haha, Xiao Xiao, long time no see, didn't expect you to become a True God faster than me!"

In the parlor, Zun and the guest being entertained both stood up to greet Xiao Mu.

"It's Grand Leader Lv, long time no see, greetings, Grand Leader Lv."

Xiao Mu sized up Lv Liangping and immediately clasped his hands to congratulate, "Congratulations, Grand Leader Lv, on becoming a True God and gaining the Western Domain Governor's authority."

"Luck, luck!" Lv Liangping returned the gesture cheerfully but courteously said, "The Western Domain Governor's authority, no matter how strong, can't compare to your Eastern Domain Governor's authority. Xiao Xiao, you're too modest."

"Sit, Old Lv, sit. Xiao Mu, you sit too!" Zun invited Lv Liangping and Xiao Mu to be seated.

"Senior Zun, this time I..."

Xiao Mu began to state his intentions as soon as he sat down.

Mei Zun slightly raised a hand, smiling, "No rush, I was planning to find you. I think the purpose you came to see me about is probably the same thing I discussed with Old Lv. There's no hurry to speak; let me guess what you want to say."

"Xiao Mu, are you here to talk about the Eternal Lamp?"

"Senior Zun guessed correctly!"

Xiao Mu couldn't help but commend him. Indeed, he had come regarding the Eternal Lamp. However, it wasn't beyond his expectations that Zun guessed it.

Zun's authority was also on the brink of the mid True God Realm, needing the Eternal Lamp for support to condense the Domain Suppression Platform and break into the mid True God Realm.

Zun laughed, "Old Lv and I are discussing this matter. Since you're here, let's discuss it together."

"The Eternal Lamp is currently in Lei Zhanghua's hands."

"The faction of the eight Grand Elders is opposed to us. Lei Zhanghua is unlikely to let us use the Eternal Lamp."

"Although condensing the Domain Suppression Platform is possible even without the Eternal Lamp by relying on personal strength bit by bit, the required time would be too long."

"Xiao Mu, have you broken through to the mid True God Realm?"

Xiao Mu praised, "Senior Zun guessed correctly. Three months ago, I cultivated in the Human Emperor Tower and, upon exiting, just broke through to the mid True God Realm."

Zun said, "When I heard you were cultivating in the Human Emperor Tower, I guessed you'd break into the mid True God Realm upon coming out. You didn't disappoint. Your cultivation speed is as fast as ever. Compared to you, I feel my pace is terribly slow."

"Senior Zun is too courteous. I only had good fortune, leveraging many external conditions to break through rapidly, not as stable as Senior Zun's solid stepwise foundation."

Zun smiled, knowing well that Xiao Mu's words were mere humility. Cultivating in the True God Realm is far from easy.

Without talent, no amount of resources would suffice for an effortless breakthrough.

"I didn't expect Xiao Xiao to step into the mid True God Realm so quickly. Compared to you, I truly feel my age catching up."

Lv Liangping stared at Xiao Mu, extremely surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Mu to step into the mid True God Realm so quickly.

This realm is nearly comparable to his own.

His realm was merely mid True God Realm, though slightly stronger than Xiao Mu's, just a step away from the late stage. Yet, it was his amassed effort over tens of thousands of years.

Compared to Xiao Mu's leap into the mid True God Realm in just a few short years from scratch, naturally, there was no comparison.

"The Yangtze River's waves push the waves before, Xiao Xiao, your cultivation speed truly is astonishing."
