"Continue the investigation. These two disciples of the Curse Gate were in a hurry, carrying hardly anything, which suggests they have just arrived and haven't had the chance to explore deeper,"

Xiao Mu said, leading the Ghost Servant to continue venturing deeper into the area.

One day later, Xiao Mu and his Ghost Servant finally reached the end of this space, which was the location of the Netherworld Passage.

The first thing that Xiao Mu saw was a large temple standing tall near the Netherworld Passage.

On the main entrance of the temple hung a huge plaque—Land God Mansion!

Without a doubt, this was the Mansion of the Land God.

The prison cells seen earlier were likely where the Land God detained the Yin Spirits.

As the Land God, his duties inherently included receiving dead souls as well.

Additionally, as a subordinate of the City God, the Land God was also responsible for escorting the Yin Souls to the City God, who would then decide their rewards and punishments based on their life's Blessings and transgressions.

Underneath the temple, billowing Netherworld Qi spouted out like ink, reaching up to the sky.

"You wait here for me; I'll go in alone and take a look,"

Xiao Mu turned and instructed the Ghost Servant.

"Master, please be very careful!"

The Ghost Servant expressed concern for Xiao Mu and once again used the Power of Good, blessing Xiao Mu with good luck.

Xiao Mu, enveloped by the Power of Blessing, performed the Life-Death Step and slowly approached the Land God Mansion.

Whooosh whooosh whooosh!

From within the Land God Mansion, extremly dense Netherworld Qi occasionally blew out, hitting Xiao Mu's body like a hurricane.

Hum!

Xiao Mu's body shimmered with Golden Light as the Power of Blessing came into play, causing the Netherworld Qi hitting him to deflect and greatly reducing its harm.

Any remaining damage was instantly healed by the circulation of Xiao Mu's Life Force.

Along the way, Xiao Mu saw one corpse after another.

All these bodies were facing the direction of the Land God Mansion.

The corpses had turned pitch black, the Netherworld Qi having invaded their bodies, completely stripping them of life.

Xiao Mu could not help but sigh.

All these corpses were Mutated Beings who entered through the Netherworld Passage, none of them very powerful, with the strongest ones at about the Early Stage of the Fifth Realm.

It now seemed that after these corpses entered from the Netherworld Passage and saw the Land God Mansion, they were overcome with joy and wanted to explore the Mansion.

If one could obtain the relics of the Land God, who was a Yin God, their strength would greatly increase, and with some luck, they might even gain the legacy of the Land God and become the new Land God.

Sadly, these people lacked the necessary strength and were killed by the Netherworld Qi blowing out from the Land God Mansion before they could get close.

Xiao Mu sighed, bending down to search the bodies of a few Mutated Beings at the Early Stage of the Fifth Realm, only to find that the aggressive erosion of the Netherworld Qi made the Energy Fruits they were carrying unusable, turned to charcoal.

Taking big strides forward, Xiao Mu passed through the sharp Netherworld Qi and entered the Land God Mansion.

Empty!

The vast Land God Mansion was entirely emptied out, except for the Qi continuously spouting from the ground, which seemed to be growing more and more intense.

Xiao Mu stared at the ground for a moment, the base of the Mansion dark as pitch, seemingly connected to a Netherworld Spring.

The Netherworld Spring is the spring of nether forces, located in the deeper levels of the Underworld, which was not yet within Xiao Mu's scope of exploration.

"Hm?"

Xiao Mu fixed his gaze on the position of the Netherworld Spring, then suddenly made a discovery, drew out a Pseudo-Chaos Sword with his right hand, and began to dig forcefully.

The ground here, eroded by the Netherworld Qi for thousands of years, had become extremely hard; even using the Pseudo-Chaos Sword, Xiao Mu could only excavate a piece of soil the size of a fingernail cap each time.

Several hours later, Xiao Mu finally dug a small pit the size of a bowl.

Within the pit, the corner of a Yellow Paper was revealed.
