Xiao Mu did know that because of the extremely dangerous nature of the work, everyone who went out from the Task Hall had to take a Soul Chasing Pearl and return it when they came back.

The Soul Chasing Pearl was equivalent to a GPS locator, making it easy to discover each person's location.

This was a protective measure by the Alliance for Mutated Beings of the True Realm, so that if anyone were to be killed or cursed, they wouldn't be untraceable.

Without a Soul Chasing Pearl, one was not allowed to travel far.

Xiao Mu followed Du Wenzhen, walking to an office desk surrounded by a crowd of people.

This desk was surrounded by a large group of Mutated Beings of the True Realm, each with a fierce look that suggested they were not to be trifiled with.

As Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen passed by, these Mutated Beings stared at them with unfriendly expressions.

Xiao Mu, sensitive to his surroundings, felt a slight sense of oppression from their gazes upon him.

Du Wenzhen knocked on the desk and said loudly, "Two Soul Chasing Pearls."

The man behind the desk, wearing a blue tracksuit, looked up at Du Wenzhen and said indifferently, "There aren't any left."

"There aren't any left?"

Du Wenzhen argued, "How is that possible? There are always more Soul Chasing Pearls than needed; how could there be none left?"

The man in the blue tracksuit gave a cold smile, "If there aren't any, there aren't any. What, Du Wenzhen, are you thinking of rebelling?"

As soon as the man said this, the Mutated Beings standing around all turned their heads at the same time, their glances landing on Du Wenzhen like the oppressive force of a Huge Mountain.

"Damn it!"

Du Wenzhen cursed under his breath and gestured for Xiao Mu to leave, "Let's go."

As the two walked away, Xiao Mu asked in a low voice, "Your enemy?"

Du Wenzhen shook his head in frustration, "Just a bunch of garbage that can't stand to see others doing well."

Xiao Mu did not continue to inquire, "How will we go out without Soul Chasing Pearls?"

"I have a way."

Du Wenzhen whispered a response and led Xiao Mu to a sneaky-looking man in the corner, "Two Soul Chasing Pearls."

The sneaky man glanced at Du Wenzhen, "Three points each."

Du Wenzhen was taken aback, his eyes widened in dissatisfaction, "Why did the price increase again?"

The sneaky man spread his hands, "Can't help it, that's the price. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy."

Du Wenzhen, with a pained expression, conceded, "Fine, three each. Give me two."

He took out his Identity Badge and made a transaction with the sneaky man, transferring six points, and the sneaky man handed over two shining objects the size of the tips of needles, resembling small beads, to Du Wenzhen.

Du Wenzhen took them, giving one to Xiao Mu.

They pressed the small beads to their arms, and the beads merged into the flesh, disappearing from sight.

Once the Soul Chasing Pearl entered the body, it immediately fused with Divine Sense and unless it was forcibly expelled, even if a person was killed and burned to ashes, the pearl could not be retrieved from their bodies.

Thereafter, Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen left the Hall together, heading toward the Ruins outside.

As neither had taken on Reserve Duty tasks, the guards at the exit specifically checked for Soul Chasing Pearls.

This was to prevent anyone from leaving without a Soul Chasing Pearl and then becoming untraceable if an accident occurred.

After the True Realm, the methods of Extraterrestrial Evil Beings became increasingly insidious, and it was easy to fall prey to them without care. Carrying a Soul Chasing Pearl provided a chance for rescue; without it, one wouldn't even know how or where to begin searching.

Chen Ke had been turned into a donkey and was found through his Soul Chasing Pearl.

"Let's go!"

After leaving the Ruins, a Golden Light suddenly appeared beneath Du Wenzhen's feet, and he utilized the Earth Escape Technique to disappear towards the east in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Mu cursed under his breath and initiated the Life-Death Step to follow, only to be left further and further behind.

The speed of True Force movement techniques and Five Elements Escape Arts were on completely different levels.

Moments later, the Golden Light returned, and Du Wenzhen reappeared beside Xiao Mu, complaining, "Brother, your speed is too slow. Can you pick it up a bit?"

Xiao Mu replied irritably, "Or how about you go by yourself?"

"No, I'm just kidding, haha! Just kidding!"

Du Wenzhen slowed down and walked alongside Xiao Mu.

Five days later, the two reached the middle of the eastern part of the Great Tang Ruins, the Ancient River Area.

In the middle of the Ancient River Area, a towering Huge Mountain gradually came into view.

Du Wenzhen looked up at the Huge Mountain, "Xiao Mu, this mountain is our destination. I've flipped through at least a hundred volumes to find this mountain."

"This is not just any ordinary mountain, it is said to once have had a Mountain God."

A Mountain God?

Xiao Mu couldn't help but look up at the mountain.

A mountain that housed a Mountain God could truly be considered a divine mountain.

It made sense for there to be a Divine Being's tomb in such a place.

Turning to Du Wenzhen, "Where exactly is the Divine Being's tomb that you mentioned?"

Du Wenzhen chuckled, "This mountain itself is the Divine Being's tomb."

"Are you sure?"

Xiao Mu was incredulous.

Du Wenzhen confidently slapped his chest, "I, Old Du, might joke about other things, but I would never when it comes to treasure hunting."

Xiao Mu fell silent, staring intently at the Huge Mountain.

This closer inspection revealed some extraordinary aspects of the mountain.

First, compared to ordinary mountains, this one was clearly filled with Spirituality, in a state similar to the Land God Mansion Xiao Mu had recently encountered in the Cuiyun Mountain Region.

Because there was a Land God Mansion in the Cuiyun Mountain Region, after the World Mutation, the area around the Land God Mansion had a much richer supply of Spiritual Energy, tenfold or even a hundredfold more concentrated.

Now, the state of this Huge Mountain was much like the area around the Land God Mansion in the Cuiyun Mountain Region, with various Mutant Fruits visible here and there on and around the mountain.

Although most of these Mutant Fruits were common and not very beneficial, their presence was enough to demonstrate the mountain's extraordinariness.

"Where exactly on this mountain is the Divine Being's tomb you spoke of?"

Having confirmed the mountain's extraordinariness, Xiao Mu looked towards Du Wenzhen once more.
