Boom!

The energy within Xiao Mu had once again reached its limit. An ethereal sensation emerged, transforming into a mysterious energy that began to cleanse his entire body.

Xiao Mu was enveloped by this mystical aura, creating a transcendent feeling, as if he were an immortal from the heavens.

Simultaneously, within his consciousness, a faint portal seemed to appear. Although the portal remained closed, a extremely weak aura could still seep through.

It was the aura of the True Realm.

And the world beyond the portal was the world of the True Realm.

Xiao Mu was overjoyed, but he quickly composed himself, focusing on perceiving this extremely weak aura of the True Realm.

This understanding of the True Realm's aura would provide significant assistance in future breakthroughs to the True Realm, aiding him in entering this realm more easily.

Unknown time passed, Xiao Mu opened his eyes, his face bearing a contented expression.

At this point, his strength had advanced thoroughly, reaching the peak of the Tongxuan Realm.

With his increased strength, the aura emanating from his body became even more formidable.

"Regrettably, in the late stage of the Tongxuan Realm, when breaking through to the peak, the aura revealed from the True Realm World is still too weak. It can only be sensed, but it's insufficient for any insightful understanding," he thought.

"However, when breaking through from the Fourth Realm to the Fifth Realm, it is said that the True Realm World would open a faint gap, allowing a real aura of the True Realm to descend. This presents an opportunity to reflect and understand it deeply."

"Furthermore, it's said that the True Realm's aura that descends from the True Realm World has the ability to transform treasures."

"It can elevate the level of treasures, allowing high-grade magical implements to evolve into top-grade artifacts."

"Many strong practitioners of the Fifth Realm obtain their magical implements in this way."

"Such an opportunity must not be missed."

...

Subsequently, Xiao Mu became contemplative, carefully perceiving his feelings after breaking through to the peak of the Tongxuan Realm.

"After entering the Tongxuan Realm, I can practice advanced mysterious techniques."

"It's a shame that I'm currently in the Infinite Valley and can't leave. Otherwise, I'd need to compile a secret manual of a mysterious book and achieve its mutation."

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly, appearing somewhat regretful.

Mysterious techniques are divided into three categories - ordinary, advanced, and top-notch.

The Xuanfeng Needle that Xiao Mu practiced is an ordinary mysterious technique, serving only a single attack function.

Ordinary mysterious techniques can be practiced from the early stage of Fourth Realm.

Advanced mysterious techniques can only be practiced after reaching the peak of the Fourth Realm.

As for top-notch mysterious techniques, at least the middle or late stage of the Fifth Realm is necessary to qualify for practice.

With each level ascended, the power of the mysterious technique greatly increases, while also presenting more and diverse powerful effects.

"After cultivating in seclusion for six days, I've fallen significantly behind in searching for energy fruits. Perhaps the other mutated beings already have a large number of energy fruits."

"I can't delay anymore. I'll immediately leave seclusion and search for the energy fruits."

"Once I have the energy fruits, I can try to advance my strength to the peak perfection of the Tongxuan Realm."

"With the strength of perfection in the Tongxuan Realm, I might even have the opportunity to ascend."

Xiao Mu couldn't help his excitement when he thought about the legendary Fifth Realm.

In some respects, the last realm of the Mortal Realm, the Fifth Realm leading to the True Realm, and the godlike beings of legends aren't all too different, possessing even more formidable strength and more divine acts.

Standing up, Xiao Mu again invoked the Great Decree, dispersing the deathly sinister qi, and headed outside of the evil fog.

...

"Brother Yang, could we be mistaken? Are you certain Xiao Mu is here?"

Outside the evil fog, Ying Long, along with a man with two grey horns on his head, was watching the direction of the evil fog.

The man had blood-red eyes and a sinister face. With a wave of his hand, a small red metallic bug landed on his palm.

Squeak!

The metallic bug suddenly let out an urgent cry towards the horned man.

The horned man's face showed satisfaction, and he said joyfully, "My Seeking Immortal Insect was formed from a toy bug after the World Mutation. It excels at tracking and exploring secrets."

"Just now, according to its call, it must have found Xiao Mu's whereabouts. Unless something unexpected happens, Xiao Mu should be hiding in this evil fog."

"Xiao Mu is hiding in the evil fog?"

Ying Long's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on the horned man in disbelief, "Brother Yang, can that be possible? This Deathly Sinister Qi is extremely potent. A mutated being of late-stage Fourth Realm would immediately turn into a skeleton upon entering. "

"Xiao Mu's strength is also at the late-stage of the Fourth Realm. Would he dare to enter the Evil?

The horned man reminded, "Brother Ying, don't forget about the unique Order Edict in Xiao Mu's possession. Even the Source of Demons can be separated, not to mention the mere Deathly Sinister Qi?"

"That's true!"

Ying Long's expression turned grave as he fixated his gaze on the sinister qi ahead, a ruthless killing intent appearing on his face, "So, Xiao Mu is hiding in this evil qi? As long as we guard the outside, we can wait for him."

"Once Xiao Mu comes out, we can kill him?"

The horned man nodded, "Indeed it is so. Brother Ying, don't forget what you have promised me. After Xiao Mu is slain, the Imperial Edict is mine."

Ying Long hurriedly said, "The promise I made to Brother Yang will certainly be honored. Moreover, we may need Brother Yang's assistance to kill Xiao Mu this time."

"No big deal!"

The horned man flippantly waved his hand, as if considering the killing of Xiao Mu as something trivial, "Rest assured, Brother Ying, an existence of late-stage Fourth Realm like Xiao Mu does not even qualify to enter my, Yang Jin's, field of vision."
