Du Wenzhen touched the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual and laughed proudly at Xiao Mu.

"There are three treasures in total, two secret manuals and one rare treasure," Xiao Mu said. "According to the distribution method we agreed upon, I take two and choose one first, then the remaining two we each take one."

"Old Xiao, I regret it, really. If I had known there were three treasures, I would never have agreed to let you have two and let you choose one first,"

grumbled Du Wenzhen reluctantly.

Xiao Mu glanced at Du Wenzhen indifferently, the corners of his mouth bearing a faint smile, "Are you sure you regret it?"

"I do have quite a bit of regret,"

nodded Du Wenzhen seriously. "But then again, without you, I definitely couldn't have overcome that Qu Huan from the Five Elements Sect, nor could I have obtained any treasure. Forget it, relatively speaking, I prefer to establish a long-term cooperation with you. Go ahead and choose one of the three treasures."

Xiao Mu smiled, "Since that's the case, I won't be polite."

His gaze swept over the three treasures, and Xiao Mu chose the Five Elements Lamp without hesitation.

"I knew you would choose this lamp; of the three treasures, it is the most precious,"

said Du Wenzhen, looking at Xiao Mu with a hint of envy and reluctance toward the Five Elements Lamp in Xiao Mu's hand.

A treasure capable of enhancing the power of all Five Elements Divine Techniques was truly uncommon and much more valuable than the Five Elements Divine Techniques and the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual.

Xiao Mu smiled faintly and did not respond. He casually placed the Five Elements Lamp into the Earth Seal Space.

"If I took the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual, you would definitely chase after me and mess with me,"

laughed Du Wenzhen nervously at Xiao Mu, as he took the Five Elements Divine Techniques Secret Manual and left the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual for Xiao Mu.

"Thanks!"

Xiao Mu reached out to take the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual, offering words of thanks to Du Wenzhen.

With the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual, he finally did not have to worry about mobility issues.

"Do you think this Zhuo Pa was too poor, leaving only three objects in the sealed coffin?"

Unwilling to give up, Du Wenzhen stretched his hand into the stone coffin and searched through, even turning over Zhuo Pa's corpse, but ultimately found nothing.

Xiao Mu said nothing.

Zhuo Pa was sealed in the stone coffin by the Mountain God Qin Jian. To have three treasures remaining with him was already quite good; they couldn't be too demanding.

"You continue searching deeper, I'll cultivate this Earth Escaping Technique before anything else,"

came Xiao Mu's casual excuse, planning to send Du Wenzhen away to try the Mutation Technique.

"Why is it always me doing the grunt work?"

muttered Du Wenzhen discontentedly, but did not object to Xiao Mu's arrangement, using the Earth Escape Technique to move further in.

Once Du Wenzhen left, Xiao Mu immediately brought out the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, touched it, and tried to see if the Mutation Technique could mutate it.

The prompt came: Energy Points insufficient.

Filled with curiosity, Xiao Mu then brought out the Great Decree, and attempted the same method, with the final outcome being the same as with the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

It seemed that whether it was the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor or the Great Decree, neither could be mutated with just a few Energy Points; it needed a lot more.

After putting away both the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree, he reached out and touched the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual.

This time, the Mutation Technique responded, but it did not offer multiple options to choose from as it did the first time it was mutated.

There was only one possible outcome for the mutation of the Earth Escaping Technique, and Xiao Mu chose to mutate.

With a flash of golden light and a reduction of Energy Points, the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual changed, its yellow round bead's surface gaining faint Divine Textures.

These Divine Texture patterns were similar to those that appeared after Du Wenzhen's mutated Earth Escape Technique, but the colors were deeper and more distinct.

Unquestionably, the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual mutated by Xiao Mu using the Mutation Technique was far superior and more potent than the effects Du Wenzhen had achieved from consuming Five Elements Dust.

Feeling delighted, Xiao Mu reached out to touch the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual and chose to receive the knowledge within the round bead.

An energy flowed from the round bead into Xiao Mu's body, and instantly, some knowledge related to the Earth Escape Technique was added to Xiao Mu's mind.

After contemplating with his eyes closed for a moment, a look of joy appeared on Xiao Mu's face.

The Earth Escape Technique was exactly as he had imagined, making use of one's own Five Element True Earth Power to stir the external Five Element True Earth Power, driving oneself to use the technique to move.

However, in the next moment, Xiao Mu stared at the round bead in his hand in astonishment.

After absorbing the content of the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual, the round bead didn't disappear.

Based on previous experience, this indicated that the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual could still be mutated further, allowing for a second, third, or even fourth mutation.

With a face full of delight, Xiao Mu stowed the round bead into the Earth Seal Space and began to sense the changes in his body.

This sensing immediately led to new discoveries.

The Mutation Technique of the Earth Escaping Technique Secret Manual, the mutation turns out to be not just the Earth Escape Technique, but includes the entire Five Element True Earth Power.

At this moment, all of the Five Element True Earth Power that Xiao Mu cultivated had undergone a mutation.

A thought crossed his mind, and behind him rose five swords of divine light, representing the Five Elements.

However, at this time, the yellow light among the five divine lights was different, the surface of the yellow light, symbolizing the Earth Escape Technique, was covered with yellow divine textures.

Crack!

With a thought from Xiao Mu, the Five Elements divine light swept forward, instantly turning the giant stones in front into pure dissipated Five Elements.

And among the Five Elements divided from the giant stones, the content of Five Elements True Soil was obviously the most, at least thirty percent more.

This meant that within Xiao Mu's Five Elements divine light, the Five Element True Earth Power was stronger than the other four elements by about thirty percent.

This result thrilled Xiao Mu.

Thirty percent increase in power meant that he could possess an absolute advantage in strength when facing an opponent of equal standing.

"All of the Five Elements divine light has increased in power, so the speed of my Earth Escape Technique should also be much faster than before."

With a thought, Xiao Mu's entire body transformed into a burst of yellow brilliance, escaping from the spot.

His figure completely disappeared, leaving only a streak of yellow lightning flickering back and forth at the original location, and the surface of this yellow lightning bore distinct divine textures.

Divine texture was the power of certain rules, enhancing the might of the Earth Escape Technique.

"Old Xiao, that's not very honest of you, sneaking off and eating Zhuo Pa's corpse dust behind my back."

In the depths of the tunnel, Du Wenzhen returned using his Earth Escape Technique.

In truth, the tunnel was not very deep, and it did not take long for Du Wenzhen, who was well-versed in the Mutated Earth Escape Technique, to make a round trip.

When he returned, he just happened to see Xiao Mu testing out the power of his Earth Escape Technique.

Seeing the yellow divine textures that appeared on the surface of Xiao Mu's Earth Escape Technique and having experienced mutation himself, Du Wenzhen immediately linked Xiao Mu's mutated Earth Escape Technique with Zhuo Pa's corpse dust.

"I didn't..."

Xiao Mu was about to argue in his defense, but stopped mid-sentence.

If not for eating Zhuo Pa's corpse dust, it really wasn't easy to explain the mutation of his Earth Escape Technique.

Let Du Wenzhen misunderstand that he ate Zhuo Pa's corpse dust then.

Xiao Mu, who had just spoken two words, immediately held his tongue.

"Old Xiao, you're really something, not allowing me to eat Zhuo Pa's corpse dust, yet you go behind my back and do it yourself."

Du Wenzhen came over and complained to Xiao Mu, eyeing him for a moment, then suddenly said, "No, that's not right, Old Xiao, your Earth Escape Technique has mutated even more than mine. Tell me, just how much of Zhuo Pa's corpse dust did you eat while I was away?"

"Cough cough!"

Xiao Mu, looking embarrassed, replied, "Just a little."

Du Wenzhen glared, insisting relentlessly, "A little? A little can cause mutation to this extent? Display your Earth Escape Technique again for me to see; it must be more than just a little. I saw it very clearly just now."

"Believe it or not," Xiao Mu retorted indifferently, not wanting to entangle with Du Wenzhen anymore.

"You sneaky fellow."

After staring at Xiao Mu for a moment, Du Wenzhen muttered under his breath, then his eyes moved to the stone coffin, gazing at Zhuo Pa's corpse dust within it.

His face showed struggle, and after a moment, he glanced at Xiao Mu as if deciding on a difficult resolution, "If you can eat it, so can I. If that old ghost Zhuo Pa dares to haunt me, I'll refine him into a puppet."

Determined, he took out a storage box and started to pack Zhuo Pa's corpse dust from the stone coffin.

Xiao Mu watched, dumbfounded.

He was merely making up an excuse for the mutation of his Earth Escape Technique, but who knew that the ruthless Du Wenzhen would actually take it to heart and even resolve to eat Zhuo Pa's corpse dust.

But to explain to Du Wenzhen was absolutely out of the question.

He wasn't ready to reveal the secret of the Mutation Technique.

As for whether Du Wenzhen would get into trouble after eating Zhuo Pa's corpse dust, there shouldn't be any issues, cough cough! Surely there must not be any trouble, right?

May the Lord of Bai's Mansion bless Du Wenzhen!
