Fortunately, Xiao Mu had timely killed King Curse, preventing the Curse Transformation Technique from unleashing its full power.

However, despite that, Xiao Mu still felt that some genetic characteristics within his body had been twisted by the lingering curse power.

Xiao Mu's face darkened.

No wonder everyone at the Great Tang Ruins becomes fearful when talking about the Curse Gate, harboring deep trepidation.

The Curse Techniques of the Curse Gate are truly terrifying.

Xiao Mu furrowed his brows in deep contemplation. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him. With a thought, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor within his body sprang into action, a Supreme Intention began to circulate, his body emitted Golden Light, and intense intentions flowed through him.

Ah~ Wuu~

Strange screams mixed with weeping sounded within Xiao Mu's body, seemingly as if some evil force was being expelled and crushed by the Supreme Intention released by the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

The uncomfortable feeling gradually disappeared, and Xiao Mu's appearance slowly returned to normal.

"Phew!"

Xiao Mu let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, after the mutation of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, the supreme power contained within it also came to exhibit restraining effects on various True Realm techniques; otherwise, he might have well earned himself a nickname like "Dog-headed Man."

After a while, Xiao Mu attempted to withdraw the power of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

The uncomfortable feeling reappeared, and he slowly reverted to the appearance of a dog-headed man.

However, due to the action of the Supreme Intention within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, Xiao Mu could clearly feel that some of the Curse Power left by the Curse Transformation Technique on his body had diminished.

"It seems that even with the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, completely eliminating the curse will take some time. Given my situation, it will probably take at least ten to fifteen days to fully remove it."

Xiao Mu murmured softly to himself, but his mood had become much more relaxed, "In the future, when encountering people from the Curse Gate, I must be extremely cautious. Act when necessary, and never give them any chance to cast their Curse Techniques."

The means of the Curse Gate are too bizarre. Whether it be the Curse Transformation Technique or any other Curse Technique, once afflicted, they are very difficult to resolve.

Even though Xiao Mu now possessed the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, he did not dare to endure it lightly.

"When I get back, I'll look for a Secret Manual that can counter the Curse Techniques of the Curse Gate and start cultivating it. It's inevitable that I'll have dealings with the people from the Curse Gate, and having just the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor won't be enough."

"The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor can restrain the Curse Techniques of the Curse Gate, but it cannot give my body the ability to resist their Curse Techniques."

"To not be at a disadvantage when dealing with the people from the Curse Gate, it's crucial to have a body that can resist Curse Techniques."

Having understood this, Xiao Mu stood up.

He went back to the Backyard.

At this moment, the Ghost Servant had already sorted out the various spoils of Battle. Their gains totaled:

Spiritual Grinding Plate, Gourd Treasure, and various Energy Fruits carried by the five Mutant Beings of the Curse Gate.

Including fifty Advanced Energy Fruits as well as two thousand ordinary Energy Fruits.

Each Advanced Energy Fruit is equivalent to a hundred ordinary Energy Fruits, hence totaling seven thousand Energy Fruits.

"Why is it so difficult to remove the Curse Gate's Curse Techniques?"

Hearing Xiao Mu's footsteps, Du Wenzhen opened his eyes. His condition was still not good. While the external injuries were healed, the curse on his body could not be removed for the time being, making him appear very weak.

However, as soon as he saw Xiao Mu, Du Wenzhen was suddenly taken aback, "My god, Old Xiao, you removed the curse that quickly? How did you do that? Do it for me too."

The Curse Transformation Technique Xiao Mu was affected by was a curse cast at the cost of King Curse's life before dying, much more severe than the curse on Du Wenzhen.

Yet, Xiao Mu returned after a short moment, having resolved his curse and restored his original appearance, while only a small portion of Du Wenzhen's curse had been lifted, which greatly surprised him.

Xiao Mu said indifferently, "The method I used can only be used by myself; it won't help you."

"Really? Old Xiao," Du Wenzhen's first reaction was disbelief. He hurriedly said, "Even though I laughed at you earlier, you wouldn't refuse to help me remove the curse just because of that, right?"

Xiao Mu glanced at Du Wenzhen and shook his head, "It's not about not helping you; it's that my method really can only be used by myself."

Du Wenzhen looked crestfallen, "Then what am I supposed to do?"

Xiao Mu smiled, "With your strength, you can get rid of it in one or two months. Didn't you think you were quite powerful? Maybe you'll recover in half a month."

"Old Xiao, is this your way of retaliating? When have I ever considered myself that powerful?" Du Wenzhen complained loudly.

You were mocking me just now.

Xiao Mu smiled and changed the subject, "About our spoils this time, we have a total of the Stone Mill Spirit Plate, seven thousand Energy Fruits, and the Curse Gourd. How should we divide them?"

Upon mention of the spoils, Du Wenzhen immediately dropped his lax demeanor and said solemnly, "There's also the reward for discovering the Land God Mansion. I estimate at least three thousand Energy Fruits."

Xiao Mu nodded, "That makes it ten thousand Energy Fruits in total then. Plus, we have the Stone Mill Spirit Plate and the Curse Gourd."

"How powerful is the Curse Gourd?" Du Wenzhen, heavily wounded, did not stand up and continued sitting, asking Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu picked up the Curse Gourd and checked it, saying, "It's a Curse Treasure capable of unleashing the Curse Gate's Disease Curse. Those struck will contract a disease. It's like a prototype of a Low-level Magical Treasure, worth about three thousand Energy Fruits."

After giving it some thought, Du Wenzhen said, "Let's round it to three thousand then. You need Energy Fruits to advance your Realm; I won't quarrel with you over that. The Curse Gourd is mine."
