Xiao Mu was slightly angry, "Du Wenzhen, are you asking for a beating? Do you really want to have another fight and see who can kill who?"

"No, Old Xiao."

Seeing Xiao Mu get angry, Du Wenzhen immediately wilted, his tone softening, "Quick, help me think of a solution. I really don't want to become a female ghost, nor do I want to grow a big tree on my head."

He had no idea how the little grass on his head had sprouted, but as it absorbed the power within his body from the Five Elements, it began to grow wildly. At this rate, it might actually turn into a towering tree.

Xiao Mu thought for a moment, "Your current situation should be due to the intake of too much Five Elements Energy which has become uncontrollable inside your body. First try to cultivate and absorb the Five Elements Energy."

"You have to protect me, don't let me get ambushed."

Sitting down not at ease, Du Wenzhen began to cultivate and absorb the Five Elements Energy.

His hair was growing too fast, seriously obstructing his vision, and without Xiao Mu's protection, he really didn't feel safe to sit down and cultivate.

Xiao Mu ignored him, but didn't walk away either, standing on the spot, acting as a Protector of Dharma for Du Wenzhen.

Du Wenzhen sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate and absorb the Five Elements Power.

Soon, the Five Elements Power surged within him, the Five-Color Light Spectrum flashed, and the Five Elements Energy he had ingested gradually got absorbed, slowing down the growth of the grass and his hair.

"It's working!"

A few hours later, after the Five Elements Power had been fully absorbed, Du Wenzhen jumped up on the spot.

By then, the little grass and his hair on his head had stopped growing.

And fortunately, apart from the Power of Thick Soil on his body, the other Four Elements Power also became faintly discernible, showing a trend of successfully cultivating the Five Elements Power.

The just relieved Du Wenzhen was overjoyed and became reckless again, "Old Xiao, haha, this Five Elements Divine Soil really is a treasure. I should eat more and take the opportunity to cultivate the Five Elements Power."

"As long as you don't mind growing a prairie on your head, suit yourself."

Xiao Mu responded indifferently, completely unaffected by Du Wenzhen's words.

He had already condensed the Five Elements True Seed, even a Ninth Grade one at that. Although the Five Elements Dust could allow one to cultivate the Five Elements Power, it didn't attract him much.

Besides, the appearance of these Five Elements Dust was too bizarre; it all felt somewhat abnormal.

"You don't understand. As long as it can enhance my strength, I don't care if what grows on my head is a prairie or a forest."

Du Wenzhen was utterly nonchalant, reaching up to touch his head, his energy sharp as a knife, he shaved himself bald, and his hair, several meters long, fell to the ground.

Without a care, Du Wenzhen grabbed another handful of Five Elements Dust and stuffed it into his mouth.

"This Five Elements Dust comes from beneath the Evildoer Suppression Stele. Underneath it is the suppressed Zhuo Pa from the Five Elements Sect. These Five Elements Dust must be related to Zhuo Pa of the Five Elements Sect. I advise you not to eat it for now."

Xiao Mu looked at the Evildoer Suppression Stele and then at Du Wenzhen, who was eagerly stuffing his mouth full of Five Elements Dust.

"Psh! Old Xiao, are you just afraid that I'll catch up to you? That I'll cultivate the Five Elements Power just like you?"

Du Wenzhen didn't listen to Xiao Mu at all, and while speaking, he stuffed several more mouthfuls of Five Elements Dust into his mouth.

On his body, the Light of Five Elements became more and more apparent. If this continued, he really might succeed in cultivating the Five Elements Power.

"Haha!"

Feeling the increase in his strength, Du Wenzhen laughed triumphantly, and with a wave of his hand, the Earth Power moved with his body.

However, the originally yellow Earth Power suddenly changed, streaked with yellow stripes.

Du Wenzhen was taken aback, then followed it up with great joy, shouting at Xiao Mu, "Old Xiao, look, my Earth Power has mutated! It's stronger than before, and not just that..."

With that, the Earth Power beneath his feet flickered, and he used the Earth Escape Technique, transforming into a beam of yellow light.

This yellow light was like yellow lightning, shuttling back and forth through the corridor, appearing and disappearing several times in an instant.

The Earth Escape Technique that he displayed, just like the Earth Power, had also mutated, with fine stripes appearing amid the yellow light.

These stripes, bearing the power of rules, were clearly some sort of Divine Texture with a mysterious power that enhanced the Earth Escape Technique, allowing Du Wenzhen to move even faster.

"Haha!"

Du Wenzhen stood on the spot, one hand pointing to the sky, the other to the ground, shouting in great joy, "I'm the supreme of both heaven and earth! With the mutated Earth Escape Technique, and if I further cultivate the Mutated Five Elements Power, who else in the world will be my match?"

Bang!

The Five-Color Light flashed, and a Five Elements Divine Bell slammed into Du Wenzhen, sending him flying on the spot.

"Damn it! Old Xiao, you sneaky little... You're jealous of me, jealous, haha."

Du Wenzhen quickly got up from the ground and returned to his original spot using the Earth Escape Technique.

It turned out that Xiao Mu, unable to tolerate his brazen attitude, had used the Five Elements Divine Light Bell to knock Du Wenzhen away.

Du Wenzhen wasn't angry and immediately returned to his spot with the Earth Escape Technique.

"How much has it increased?"

Xiao Mu couldn't help but ask.

He was asking about the rate of increase of Du Wenzhen's Earth Power, including the escape speed of the Earth Escape Technique.

After the Earth Power mutated, the enhancements obtained by Du Wenzhen were definitely not limited to Earth Escape Technique but included all the might of Earth Power.

"It has increased...not much for now, roughly 0.5 percent, but as long as I consume more, I believe it can ultimately be enhanced to a level that will make you jealous."

After estimating for a moment, Du Wenzhen gave a rough figure and then boasted to Xiao Mu with a smug face.

Xiao Mu fell into deep thought, ignoring this fellow's vanity.

While consuming Five Elements Dust, Du Wenzhen couldn't resist tempting Xiao Mu, "Old Xiao, are you sure you don't want some?"

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly and looked towards the Evildoer Suppression Stele.

The Evildoer Suppression Stele, as expected of a treasure established by the Mountain God Qin Jian, still retained its divine power after thousands of years.

After pondering, Xiao Mu tentatively reached out his hand towards the Evildoer Suppression Stele.

The divine light released from the Evildoer Suppression Stele didn't block the fall of Xiao Mu's palm, allowing his hand to land on the stele without any hindrance.

Crack!

Suddenly, the Evildoer Suppression Stele fractured from its base, the brilliance vanished, and it slowly fell to the ground.

In an instant, the Mountain God's treasure turned into an ordinary stone, dull and lusterless, completely devoid of any might.

"Old Xiao, what did you do?"

Stunned on the spot, Du Wenzhen even forgot to continue consuming the Five Elements Dust and stared straight at Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu was also stunned, "I didn't do anything."

Disbelieving, Du Wenzhen retorted, "Liar! How could you destroy the God's Tablet without doing anything?"

Xiao Mu replied, "Believe it or not, I really didn't do anything. Perhaps it's because the stele has been damaged due to the passage of so much time."

Just now, he indeed didn't do anything; his palm had barely touched the Evildoer Suppression Stele, not even getting the chance to feel it before the stele collapsed.

Apart from being destroyed by the passage of time, Xiao Mu really couldn't think of another possibility.

"..."

Just as Du Wenzhen was about to berate Xiao Mu again, he suddenly realized something and his complexion changed dramatically as he looked towards the ground beneath the stele.

Xiao Mu's reaction was the same as Du Wenzhen's, turning pale as he looked at the ground beneath the Evildoer Suppression Stele at the same time.

Underneath the Evildoer Suppression Stele, Zhuo Pa, a strong member of the Five Elements Sect, was suppressed.

Now that the Evildoer Suppression Stele was destroyed, what would keep Zhuo Pa of the Five Elements Sect subdued?

Without the suppression, could it be that Zhuo Pa would emerge from below the ground?

This member of the Five Elements Sect was someone who could battle with the Mountain God. If he were to break free, what chance would Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen have to survive?

However, Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen soon realized something was amiss.

Even though the Evildoer Suppression Stele had broken, there was still no sound coming from underneath it.

If Zhuo Pa of the Five Elements Sect were still alive, why wouldn't he come out from underground after the stele that suppressed him had broken?

"Something's not right!"

"Yes, something's very wrong!"

Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen voiced their suspicions simultaneously.

It was exceedingly strange, and they couldn't help but doubt whether Zhuo Pa of the Five Elements Sect was still alive.

"Should we dig down and see?"

Du Wenzhen suddenly whispered the suggestion.

Xiao Mu calmly glanced at Du Wenzhen.

This fellow was always reckless, and his suggestions lacked any reference value.

However, given the current situation, Xiao Mu's idea was the same as Du Wenzhen's; he wanted to dig down and take a look.

After all, the place where Zhuo Pa of the Five Elements Sect was suppressed must certainly have various treasures.

And Xiao Mu's purpose for this trip was the Earth Escape Technique Secret Manual.

Now, not having obtained the Earth Escape Technique Secret Manual, how could he be content to leave empty-handed?
