Firstly, recalling the compilation method of the scriptures he had looked up on the computer in the Book Collection Room, Xiao Mu began his work.

He seated himself cross-legged and placed three beads in front of him according to the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Then, Dao Method Spiritual Energy exploded from Xiao Mu's body as the core, spreading outwards. The three beads that were impacted by the Dao Method Spiritual Energy instantly flew up and floated in front of Xiao Mu, still in the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Xiao Mu brought out both hands, imputing Dao Method Spiritual Energy into the beads.

At this moment, each of the three beads released a beam of brilliance that entered another bead, instantly connecting the three beads together and simultaneously moving towards the center.

Xiao Mu didn't stop, he kept on imputing Dao Method Spiritual Energy into the beads.

The beads gradually came closer and finally fused together; the three became one.

"So this is how you compile the scriptures. It's surprisingly simple."

Xiao Mu's face relaxed.

He had thought that compiling the scriptures meant writing a book himself, but it was not the case at all.

It was a relief, as he was able to save a lot of time.

He picked up the round bead and placed it in front of him.

At the moment, this bead was just a basic scripture, not the real Exotic Technique Secret Manual. It needed to undergo a mutation to form the so-called real secret manual.

With the bead in his hand, he inputted a Divine Sense into it, attempting to probe the situation inside the bead.

However, the inside of the bead seemed to be encrypted with information flow, leaving Xiao Mu with no findings.

Regretfully, he withdrew his Divine Sense, put down the bead and outstretched his finger to touch the bead.

Under the effect of the Mutation Technique, it immediately transformed.

However, Xiao Mu didn't need to make a choice this time; there was only one option: Mutate.

This implied that Xiao Mu could only choose whether to cause the bead to mutate, but he couldn't control the direction of mutation.

He chose to mutate again.

Xiao Mu discovered that despite it being the most basic Secret Arts mutation, it still required as much as two hundred Energy Points.

In the midst of his heartache, Xiao Mu chose to mutate immediately.

Power surged from Xiao Mu's finger, hitting the bead. The Golden Light flashed, and the bead transformed from a regular black bead into a transparent shape with golden brilliance.

The bead now seemed much like a strange treasure.

With the bead in hand, Xiao Mu couldn't help but extend his Divine Sense to probe again.

As a result, as soon as his Divine Sense probed out, the bead turned into power and entered his body.

Furthermore, numerous complex details immediately filled Xiao Mu's consciousness.

Five Elements Separation Slash!

This was the name of the secret manual.

It could mobilize the power of the Five Elements simultaneously, slashing everything. Everything that was hit instantly disassembled and returned to their basic Five Elements.

This was a terrifying attack. To some extent, it even denied the possibility of healing.

Some Mutated Beings had self-recovery Divine Powers and could heal themselves after being injured.

However, once hit by the Five Elements Separation Slash, their bodies would return to their origin and become basic Five Elements, starting from the place where they were hit.

This way, the possibility of recovery for the Mutated Beings was eliminated. It could be said to be a potent Secret Art.

Xiao Mu once saw other Mutated Beings use a strike related to Sharp Gold Power, where a single strike could dismember a Mutated Being. Without any attached abilities, it was far inferior compared to the Five Elements Separation Slash that Xiao Mu had mutated.

In his joy, Xiao Mu couldn't help but point his finger.

The Five Elements Brilliance was dazzling at his fingertip, seeming to gush out at any moment.

Then, Xiao Mu stretched out his hand and pointed towards a table opposite him.

Five divine lights flashed past, and the table immediately split and completely disappeared.

The wooden table was transformed into the basic power of the Five Elements and disappeared without a trace.

The table was an object, but the power of the basic Five Elements was just power, it changed from a substantive object back to nothingness, becoming the most essential power.

"It's a pity that the table was only made of the most ordinary wood. It does not represent the power of the Five Elements Separation Slash. I wonder what effect it would have if used on powerhouses and treasures."

Xiao Mu was curious, but he didn't have any good objects to test the effect of the Five Elements Separation Slash at the moment, so he had to reluctantly put away the Secret Art.

Afterwards, Xiao Mu thought about the Life and Death Treasure, the broken bead.

Xiao Mu couldn't resist picking up the round bead again.

The incomplete bead looked very similar to the Five Elements Separation Slash secret manual he just mutated, but they were absolutely not the same thing.

With his Divine Sense probing, Xiao Mu could vividly sense the massive information flow inside of the incomplete bead.

The flow of information extracted the Power of Life and Death, no doubt related to the Two Forces of Life and Death.

This made Xiao Mu regret even more.

If he could decipher it, would he be able to directly cultivate the Two Forces of Life and Death?

However, the content of the information flow was too complex and profound. He had no idea how to decipher it and was completely helpless.

"I must find a way to decipher this treasure of Life and Death."

"But to decipher the treasure of Life and Death, I must find the right person."

The information flow in the treasure of Life and Death is not absolutely undecipherable. Any information can be cracked if you know how to decipher it.

However, compared to generic knowledge, the information flow inside the treasure of Life and Death isn't something that can be depicted in words, drawings, etc. It's far more complex. It's Divine Sense fodder, something to ponder over and not to be spoken.

Perhaps when Xiao Mu's strength increased, he might infuse this massive information flow into the bead to create a unique scripture, but he couldn't do that now.

Putting away the bead, Xiao Mu began to plan his next journey.

His strength needed to be further improved.

But to further improve his strength, he needed other exotic technique secret manuals.

According to the current materials he got, the basic scriptures that mutate into secret arts could be exchanged for energy fruits in the Book Collection Room. They were just expensive. Even the most basic scriptures alone need two hundred energy fruits.

Besides, there might be other ways to acquire them, but Xiao Mu didn't know yet.

This needs to be inquired. He can't rely solely on trading in the Book Collection Room.

Next comes "Yin Yang Power".

This basic secret manual couldn't mutate, and therefore could only be acquired in other ways.

He must find a way to get it as soon as possible.

With it, he could cultivate secret arts related to the Yin Yang Power.

In the Book Collection Room, he specifically inquired about the scriptures related to Yin Yang Power and found that there are indeed secret manuals of Yin Yang Power that can be mutated there.

Even the Good Power scriptures needed by the Ghost Servant are available, though they are exceptionally expensive and in limited quantity.

Besides, there's the matter of realm advancement.

The advancement of realm also requires energy fruits, and at this point, Xiao Mu's realm has already entered the mid Fifth Realm.

With around another two thousand energy fruits, he should be able to increase his realm to the later stages.

However, Xiao Mu tends to seek out ways to cultivate secret arts first after acquiring energy fruits.

After all, having a realm without mastering secret arts is rather meaningless. You still might be killed by mutated beings with lower realms. Xiao Mu learned this the hard way.

After stepping into the Fifth Realm, as various secret arts emerge, realm is no longer the only criterion for strength among mutated beings. It also depends on the various secret arts one has mastered.

He should start his shift tomorrow and must go to the Task Hall by eight o'clock to protect against Jiang Mu's schemes.

Thinking of Jiang Mu, Xiao Mu felt a sense of urgency again.

No matter why Jiang Mu is plotting against him, Xiao Mu must take precautions.

At this thought, Xiao Mu discretely stood up, and went out the door again.

He walked continuously east, using the power of the Five Elements to travel at an incredible speed.

An hour later, Xiao Mu stopped in front of a large house.

This was an office similar to Jiang Mu's.

Arriving at the door, Xiao Mu knocked.

"Come in please!"

Behind the desk sat a woman, a mutated being just like Jiang Mu, who was also a peak Fifth Realm. She appeared to be in her twenties, dressed in an ancient green Rainbow Feather Robe. Her noble air was incomparable, and her dignity and elegance felt like she had long been in power.

"And you are?"

The Fifth Realm peak, female mutated being looked at Xiao Mu in surprise, obviously not recognizing him.
