Xiao Mu spoke seriously, "Thank you for the reminder, Leader Lei. I may have other shortcomings, but when it comes to improving my strength, I dare not be negligent."

"That's good."

Lei Thunder nodded in appreciation to Xiao Mu, "The main reason I called you here was to inform you about the specific tasks you need to know about."

"Now, all that needs to be said has been said, if you have any thoughts, you can tell me without any hesitation. Don't hold back."

Xiao Mu knew Lei Thunder was just being polite and leaving quietly from Lei Thunder's office without offering any suggestions.

Returning to his living quarters, Xiao Mu started preparing to improve his strength.

He decided to first extract the Advanced Life and Death Technique from the Divine Thought Bead and start cultivating after succeeding in the extraction process and then enhance his strength by consuming the energy fruits.

After all, five thousand energy fruits couldn't be finished in a short period of time; it would take at least a month or even longer.

During this period, he might have to undertake other tasks, and cultivating advanced techniques might help increase his strength more quickly.

He took out the Divine Thought Bead and a Basic Blank Tome and placed them on either side of his body.

Taoist Law's spiritual energy emerged, hitting the Divine Thought Bead and Basic Blank Tome, causing them to levitate on both sides of Xiao Mu's body.

Xiao Mu released Taoist Law's spiritual energy threads simultaneously from both hands, connecting the Basic Tome and the Divine Thought Bead.

Then continued to input the Taoist Law's spiritual energy into the Basic Tome and Divine Thought Bead.

With previous successful experiences, Xiao Mu was able to do it smoothly.

Soon after, the Divine Thought Stream from the Divine Thought Bead entered the Basic Tome through the spiritual energy thread.

The Divine Thought Bead seemed to be depleted of energy and suddenly turned into ashes.

"What a pity!"

Xiao Mu lamented at the sight of the ashes left by the Divine Thought Bead, quickly shifting his attention to the Basic Tome.

The Basic Tome now clearly contained content.

He checked his Energy Points and found that he had over 650 points.

Based on normal deduction, the mutation of the Advanced Life and Death Technique would require 600 points, which should be enough.

He placed a finger on the Basic Tome and after 600 Energy Points were consumed, the Tome was successfully mutated.

Xiao Mu picked it up, input a stream of Divine Sense and selected the information to absorb from the Basic Tome.

A large amount of energy entered his body, and new information appeared in his brain.

Xiao Mu closed his eyes, carefully examining the newly mastered Advanced Life and Death Technique.

Sever the Netherworld!

The name of the technique amused Xiao Mu, but after careful examination, he was delighted.

This Life and Death Technique allows use of Two Forces of Life and Death to sever the enemy's connection to the Netherworld, completely invalidating the ability of the enemy to reincarnate. This really is the perfect counter to mutated beings of the Life and Death Sect.

Moreover, enemies killed by this technique lose the opportunity for reincarnation.

"This technique is the perfect counter to the evil beings of the Life and Death Sect."

Xiao Mu marveled while also feeling thrilled.

The strength of Sever the Netherworld Art surpassed his expectations. He had never imagined the Advanced Technique contained in the Divine Thought Bead could be so powerful.

"Let's give it a try and see the effect."

Xiao Mu moved his heart and tried to use Sever the Netherworld Art right where he was.

Hum!

The Two Forces of Life and Death flow throughout his body, Xiao Mu tried and made a sword with his hand, and made a slash into the void before him.

It was as though space had been cut open and the invisible Life and Death Sword seemingly severed all connection between the creatures and the Netherworld, completely cutting off their chance of reincarnation.

However, Xiao Mu's face darkened instantly.

"What's going on? Why is the Illusion of the Divine Being still there?"

While Sever the Netherworld Art is certainly powerful, the Illusion of the Divine Being that appeared again above Xiao Mu's head made him extremely uneasy.

He had seen the body of this Divine Being in the Ferocious Tomb, whose corpse had been occupied by King Dayang and the True Realm wicked being of the Life and Death Sect.

This Divine Being should be a Life and Death Judge.

It was unknown which Judge specifically he was.

This Judge's power was at least of the Yin God Realm.

Otherwise, the True Realm wicked being of the Life and Death Sect wouldn't have tried to seize his body after death.

Yet, what made Xiao Mu uneasy was that when he used Sever the Netherworld Art, the illusion of that Judge appeared above his head again.

Why is that so?

Does the Divine Thought Bead have something to do with this Judge?

Who is he?

"Perhaps I should ask around. At the very least, I need to know the true identity of this Judge."

"Who should I ask?"

"Xuan Zhizi should be a good choice."

Thinking of Xuan Zhizi, Xiao Mu felt a little relieved.

With Xuan Zhizi's erudition, it's very likely that he knows the identity of this Judge.

Luckily, Xuan Zhizi still owes him two information inquiries.

To prevent the secret from being leaked, Xiao Mu decided to just let Xuan Zhizi see the portrait of the Divine Being.

He opened his phone and started recording a video of himself.

He performed the Life and Death Judge Technique and Sever the Netherworld Art in turn, and captured the footage on his phone.

Then he took a screenshot and edited the image, cutting out the image of the Divine Being and removing his own appearance.

He saved the image on his phone and brought it to the Ancient Classics Room.

"Miss Tian Xiang, the advanced curse technique you want to cultivate requires five Basic Tomes..."

Xuan Zhizi respectfully stood while speaking to Tian Xiang.

Tian Xiang nervously waved, "Mr. Xuan Zhizi, please sit and talk, or else I'll feel uncomfortable."

Xuan Zhizi bowed and shifted his body uncomfortably, "Miss Tian Xiang, please don't be so formal with me, just feel at ease, just feel at ease."
