Xiao Mu took the opportunity to look at the Evildoer Suppression Stele.

After the stone had broken, it had completely lost its divine power. Looking at Du Wenzhen, he asked, "How is it inside the passage? Did you find anything?"

Du Wenzhen raised his hand nonchalantly, his casual nature unchanged, "No use talking about it, it was just a broken passage. I walked from one end to the other and didn't find a thing."

"Then there's nothing to find. Since that's the case, let's leave this place."

Xiao Mu also felt that there shouldn't be anything else in the passage, given that it was where the Mountain God Qin Jian had suppressed Zhuo Pa.

With Zhuo Pa turned to ash in death, there shouldn't be anything else there.

Du Wenzhen had no objections, so the two of them returned the way they came and followed the passage out.

Halfway through, the Ghost Servant appeared, presenting a Storage Box to Xiao Mu.

"Old Xiao, you actually have a Ghost Servant. It's a shame that its strength is a bit low."

Du Wenzhen cast a glance at the Ghost Servant, seeing through its strength and shook his head in disapproval.

The current strength of the Ghost Servant was indeed a bit low, as it had not yet stepped into the True Realm.

"It is a little low."

Xiao Mu nodded in agreement with Du Wenzhen's comment.

However, he had just killed Qu Huan and collected a True Realm evil bead. Giving it to the Ghost Servant should help improve its strength.

He would find an opportunity to collect more such beads in future, and it wouldn't be hard to help the Ghost Servant step into the True Realm.

Cultivating the "Hua Shen Jing" Goodness Chapter, the Ghost Servant could continue its cultivation even after stepping into the True Realm, which was still a great help to Xiao Mu.

He casually handed the Storage Box from the Ghost Servant to Du Wenzhen.

"What kind of good stuff is it?"

Wearing a puzzled expression, Du Wenzhen took the Storage Box and opened it. He was surprised, "Five Elements Dust?"

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "I had the Ghost Servant collect the Five Elements Dust from outside, and since you need it, I'm giving it all to you."

Before collecting it, he had thought the Five Elements Dust was a treasure, but it turned out to be Zhuo Pa's ashes.

Now that he knew the dust was actually Zhuo Pa's ashes, Xiao Mu decided he didn't want to keep it anymore.

It was useless for him to hold on to it.

"Thanks a lot, Old Xiao, I knew you were generous!"

Du Wenzhen was overjoyed and happily pocketed the Storage Box.

"Let's get out of here."

Xiao Mu said as he began to unleash his techniques, fleeing towards the outside of the passage.

"Haha! Old Xiao, my Earth Escape Technique has mutated, and so has yours. Let's have a race to see whose escape speed is faster," proposed Du Wenzhen, looking at Xiao Mu provocatively. Without waiting for Xiao Mu to reply, he used his Earth Escape Technique and transformed into a streak of yellow light, dashing outward through the passage.

The yellow light that Du Wenzhen transformed into had faint divine textures that enhanced the power of his Earth Escape Technique.

Xiao Mu chuckled, and with a light buzz, he too transformed into a streak of yellow light and moved forward quickly.

The yellow light that Xiao Mu transformed into had a much deeper and clearer set of yellow stripes compared to Du Wenzhen's Earth Escape Technique, and the number of stripes was at least several dozen times more.

In the blink of an eye, the yellow light Xiao Mu had become caught up with Du Wenzhen and passed him by, leaving him behind.

"Damn!"

Du Wenzhen shouted in frustration and yelled at Xiao Mu, "Old Xiao, how much has your Earth Escape Technique mutated? How much of Zhuo Pa's ashes did you actually eat?"

"I really didn't eat any!"

Xiao Mu defended himself.

"You think I'd believe you?"

Du Wenzhen clearly didn't believe him. "Forget it, if you won't tell, then fine. I'll just eat more Five Elements Dust and I'm sure to catch up with you."

With that, he couldn't wait to take out the Five Elements Dust and stuffed it straight into his mouth.

"..."

Xiao Mu turned his head to look at Du Wenzhen and was at a loss for words.

The guy's courage was something that one had to admire whether they wanted to or not. Perhaps it was this very trait that had enabled him to reach his current level of cultivation.

Xiao Mu obviously did not approve of this reckless behavior.

As the Five Elements Dust was consumed continually, all sorts of strange plants, including Five Elements Grass, Five Elements Wood, and even Five Elements Fungi, began to grow out of Du Wenzhen's head and even his body.

These plants, filled with immense Five Elements Power, grew wildly on Du Wenzhen, and soon enough, the man looked like a clump of soil overgrown with a variety of plants.

"You might want to eat a little less; eating so much might kill you," Xiao Mu said, slowing his escape speed and moving alongside Du Wenzhen, he looked at him with furrowed brows as a warning.

"I'm more afraid of being weak," replied Du Wenzhen nonchalantly, though he did stop swallowing the Five Elements Dust and began to channel the power within his body to digest the Five Elements Power he had ingested.

The growth rate of the plants slowed down, and a dense Light of Five Elements started to emanate from Du Wenzhen's body.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

The sounds of Escape Techniques being deployed could be heard, as a green light, a red light, and a white light appeared from afar, closing in on Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen's position.

"Someone's coming!"

Xiao Mu promptly warned Du Wenzhen.

Du Wenzhen immediately stopped cultivating and, alongside Xiao Mu, turned to look in the direction the light came from.

In a blink of an eye, three Mutated Beings appeared before Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen.

The trio, two men and a woman, seemed to be in the Early Stage of the Yin God Realm.

One of the men, who looked to be in his early twenties and appeared to be the leader, had swirling green light under his feet and mastered the Wood Escape Technique.

The other two were a man who looked to be in his fifties and a woman in her forties.
