He had cultivated three kinds of true force, one was the power of the Five Elements, one was Yin-Yang Force, and the other was the Power of Life and Death.

To be precise, they could even be subdivided into nine kinds.

However, Xiao Mu obviously didn't intend to cultivate them separately, as their power would surely be reduced if cultivated separately.

Without hesitation, among all the Secret Manuals he had, he chose to cultivate the Power of Life and Death.

The Power of Life and Death was undoubtedly the strongest among the true forces he had cultivated so far.

The Chaos-like Power is just that, not the true Chaos Power, but the synthesis of Five Elements Yin Yang Power.

In the end, the Chaos-like Power that Xiao Mu cultivated was actually the Five Elements Yin Yang Power. Although these two types of power can demonstrate the attributes of Chaos-like Power after fusion, when cultivating, one could only choose to cultivate the Five Elements Yin Yang Power.

Compared with the Two Forces of Life and Death, the Five Elements Yin Yang Power was obviously inferior in terms of levels.

In a situation where he could only choose one Secret Manual, Xiao Mu chose the Two Forces of Life and Death without hesitation.

"No!"

He searched on the computer, trying to find books related to the Two Forces of Life and Death, but the result disappointed Xiao Mu.

There were no books related to the Two Forces of Life and Death that could be borrowed from the Book Collection Room.

"How can it be? Is it because my authority is not enough or there really aren't any books related to the Two Forces of Life and Death in the Book Collection Room?"

Xiao Mu frowned.

He would ask the staff on duty in the Book Collection Room later. For now, he needed to decide whether to cultivate the Power of the Five Elements or the Yin-Yang Power.

"The Power of the Five Elements, I have cultivated the Alliance's reward of the 'The Power of the Five Elements. But the Yin-Yang Power, I have only cultivated the 'Extreme Yin to Yang Technique', which is too low-level. The Yin-Yang secret arts cultivated based on it are not powerful enough."

"Forget it, first cultivate the Power of the Five Elements and find a way to get the 'Yin Yang Power' in the future, then cultivate the Secret Art related to Yin-Yang Power."

After a moment, Xiao Mu made a plan and decided to cultivate the Power of the Five Elements first.

He felt that the Power of the Five Elements was weak, but that was just his personal opinion. After all, among the forces he cultivated, there were Yin-Yang Power and even the Two Forces of Life and Death.

In the eyes of other Mutated Beings, the Power of the Five Elements united, absolutely belonged to the top tier of true forces.

Especially after cultivating certain top-level methods, the power of the Five Elements was not less strong than the Yin-Yang Power and the Power of Life and Death.

The weakness was only manifested in the early stage when no strong means had been acquired after cultivation.

But once in the later stage, when various peculiar methods were mastered, by returning to the basics, this most fundamental Power of the Five Elements could definitely burst out with earth-shaking power.

"The Alliance promised me that once I cultivated to the True Stage, they would reward me with a 'Five Elements Divine Light'."

"Just for the sake of the 'Five Elements Divine Light', the Power of the Five Elements should be practiced."

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu immediately decided to first cultivate the Secret Manual related to the Power of the Five Elements.

As for the Yin-Yang Power, it was alright. He could wait until he had cultivated the 'Yin Yang Power' and then try to exchange the borrowing privilege of books with energy fruits on his own.

After making the decision, Xiao Mu started to search.

"Which type of Secret Manual related to the Power of The Five Elements should I cultivate? Attack type? Defense type? Auxiliary type? Body Method type? Why isn't there a comprehensive type?"

Xiao Mu began to search for the Secret Arts related to the Power of The Five Elements and found the Attack type, Defense type, Auxiliary type, Body Method type, and Secret Art type, but could not find any comprehensive type, which included both offense, defense, auxiliary body method, and other powerful cultivation methods.

Moreover, most of the cultivation methods were a single Power of the Five Elements, such as the Power of Gold, and Fire Power. As for the Five Elements United cultivation methods that Xiao Mu wanted to cultivate, they belonged to high-end cultivation types, which were quite rare.

Fortunately, the authority required to borrow this kind of high-end cultivation method of Five Elements United was still low, suitable for Xiao Mu to borrow.

"Perhaps, the so-called low authority is just for a single function Secret Art type, or maybe the Mutated Beings in the early and middle stages of the Fifth Realm can only cultivate a single function cultivation method."

In the Realm of True Nothingness, Xiao Mu had fought with many Mutated Beings who had self-abased their cultivation to the Fifth Realm. These Mutated Beings in the Fifth Realm seemed to use Secret Arts, each of which had a very simple power, and did not have too complex abilities, simultaneously exerting several effects type.

"There is nothing to struggle with, if it's a single function, then it's a single function. Once my strength goes up, I can cultivate Secret Arts with complex powers."

"Attack type or defense type? Or auxiliary type?"

After a moment of deliberation, Xiao Mu was sure that he would first cultivate the attack type Secret Art.

At this moment, he not only lacks offensive secret arts, but also lacks mobility, defense, auxiliary types, and so on.

However, after weighing each of these, he ultimately decided on the offensive type.

In battles with others, killing power is undoubtedly the first choice.

After deciding on the offensive type, the next thing to consider is the source of power.

The source of power also includes multiple types, the key lies in how to marshal inner energy when using it, and in what ways to mobilize this internal energy.

Arranging a Great Array within the body that can amplify energy?

Or refining oneself, changing the body's structure, to allow oneself to inherently possess the attribute of deriving this kind of energy?

Or perhaps communicate with the power of Heaven and Earth, draw energy from the realm of Heaven and Earth, converting it for personal use, enhancing the power of the secret arts when used?

In short, just this issue of energy coordination divides into many categories, including refining oneself, communicating with external forces, amplifying energy, and even integrated types, absorption types, borrowed types, etc, which are extremely complex.

Xiao Mu fell into contemplation once again.

Without a doubt, these energy management methods, no matter which one, all have their unique benefits. Some, after cultivation, can strengthen the body to a certain degree, while others can enhance communication with energy of Heaven and Earth, making them more suitable for future cultivation.

After pondering for over half an hour, Xiao Mu finally chose the refining oneself type.

The so-called refining oneself type, means that once this kind of secret arts is cultivated, it will change one's body, allowing the body to become stronger while also deriving more energy.

In a sense, this belongs to physical cultivation, a fundamental increase.

After deciding on this, the next consideration was the method of use.

Methods of use also divide into many categories, Xiao Mu dragged the screen downwards, his eyes almost crossing.

First comes the usage of hand seals, followed by various weapons usage, and then the usage of the body itself.

Hand seal usage implies mobilizing the inner energy through the use of different hand seals, bringing the use of secret arts into play.

Weapon usage means to use weapons to execute secret arts.

The usage of the body refers to mobilizing the inner energy through body movements and twists to use the secret arts.

The last one feels like some sort of sorcery, needing to rely on body movements to complete.

On the other hand, the first one, the use of hand seals, has a more celestial aura.

As for the second one, using various weapons for execution, is more like a martial artist's cultivation method.

Xiao Mu contemplated for a moment, and quickly chose the first one.

In fact, the majority of Mutated Beings, when cultivating secret arts, select the first method of mutation.

But even the first method of mutation is unbelievably complex, with at least several thousand hand seals to choose from.

Five-finger form, three-finger form, all-ten-fingers-at-once form; how many fingers to use when executing hand seals and how to use them, these variations are equally complex.

Xiao Mu's head was spinning, he ended up choosing the simplest one: single right finger form.

The changes in the hand seals are the simplest, needing only a single pointed finger to activate.

However, this single finger point, though simple on the surface, involves many complex steps in reality. During the process of pointing a single finger, the circulation of True Qi within the body, how the finger moves, the distribution of True Qi on the surface of the finger, and so on, all involve many complex steps.

You could say that, the choice Xiao Mu made now seems simple only on the surface, the complexity lies in the inside.

After all three conditions were decided, Xiao Mu walked straight to the lending window.

"I want to borrow five martial arts manuals related to the Five Elements: Split Body Decapitation, Body Refining Decision, Heaven Pointing Style, these three books."

Xiao Mu leaned towards the window.

A cold yet aged voice came from inside the window, "Show your identification!"

This voice... it seemed a bit familiar.

Xiao Mu quickly lowered his head to look through the window and was immediately surprised, "Senior, it's you!"
