"Mr. Xiao, may I ask... whose skin is this? Why... why is it in my house?" Chen Ze looked at the human skin in Xiao Mu's hand, his face filled with worry.

"It's hard to say, I need to investigate a bit to find out, perhaps it's..."

Xiao Mu's words trailed off, and he suddenly stopped speaking.

He suspected that this piece of human skin might have come from a Land God, but there was no need to tell Chen Ze about these circumstances.

Chen Ze was still a Fourth Stage Mutated Being of the Mortal Realm, and it was not beneficial for Mutated Beings of this level to know about Divine Spirits prematurely.

"Can I have that black wood plaque you're holding?"

Xiao Mu looked at the black wood plaque in Chen Ze's hand.

"Mr. Xiao, please just take it," Chen Ze promptly stuffed the black wood plaque into Xiao Mu's hands, seemingly fearful that keeping the black wood plaque any longer would bring misfortune.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Mu stored both the human skin and the black wood plaque in the Earth Seal Space, "I'm going to leave now, Mr. Chen, don't forget what I said, have your mother, wife, and daughter replenish their vital energy."

"I've remembered it, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Xiao," Chen Ze responded gravely, and then, as if remembering something else, he asked worriedly, "Mr. Xiao, there won't be any more issues with my house, right?"

Xiao Mu said solemnly, "The issues with your house were mainly due to the human skin and the black wood plaque. Now that I have taken both, naturally there will be no further issues."

"That's a relief, thank you for your help, Mr. Xiao," Chen Ze thanked him once again.

Xiao Mu left, carrying a hundred energy fruits, as he departed the Chen Family's home. As soon as he left the city area and arrived at a secluded place, he took out the human skin and the black wood plaque.

Hiss!

Xiao Mu pointed his finger at the black wood plaque, and Dao Method Spiritual Energy flowed straight into it. The black light dispersed, and the black wood plaque immediately changed its appearance. The Black Gas no longer emitted outward, and the surface revealed clear Heavenly Fate patterns.

"This black wood plaque, although not belonging to Extraterrestrial Evil Beings, was caused by their actions."

"The formation of the black wood plaque is related to Divine Spirits; when Extraterrestrial Evil Beings damage the Divine Spirit Mansion or temples, a divine intention emerges in the unknown, alerting the Divine Spirits and allowing them to sense it."

"This is what differentiates Divine Spirits from ordinary Mutated Beings."

Xiao Mu whispered to himself, these pieces of knowledge, he had read from the texts at the Ancient Luo Capital ruins.

"Divine Spirits are born with Spirituality, even if only a piece of human skin is left, not all of their Spirituality will dissipate. Utilizing this piece of human skin and the black wood plaque, the location of the Divine Spirit Mansion or temple being damaged should be traceable."

At this point, Xiao Mu suddenly took out the Golden Human Skin, held it in his hand, and shook it. Dao Method Spiritual Energy flowed along his palm into the Golden Human Skin.

The Golden Human Skin suddenly stretched out like a living person and fell to the ground as it wriggled free from Xiao Mu's grasp.

Almost a complete piece of human skin suddenly bulged and expanded; at a casual glance, it was nothing short of a real person.

"Fortunately, after the World Mutation, Heaven and Earth expanded, making human habitats sparse. Otherwise, walking around with a piece of moving human skin would scare someone to death."

Xiao Mu laughed, stuffing the black wood plaque into the human skin.

The human skin suddenly moved, stepped forward, and quickly headed west.

"Good, by following this piece of human skin, I will surely reach the location of this Divine Spirit's Mansion or temple."

"This is the remaining instinct of the Divine Spirit within the human skin taking effect, striving to protect its own Mansion or temple from being destroyed."

The Golden Human Skin moved rapidly, almost as if it was using an Escape Art. In the blink of an eye, it covered a vast distance, swift as flight.

Xiao Mu used the Earth Escape Technique and followed behind the Golden Human Skin, pursuing it forward.

A few hours later, the Golden Human Skin left the Ancient Luo Capital and continued heading south.

"If we go further east, we'll reach the Cuiyun Mountain Region. Could it be that the location of this Divine Spirit's Mansion is in the Cuiyun Mountain Region?"

Following the human skin, Xiao Mu watched as he left Luodu and then reached the boundaries of the Cuiyun Mountain Region, speculating secretly.

If the Divine Spirit's Mansion is located in the Cuiyun Mountain Region, then it's very likely associated with the Ge Earth God and Guo Xu, City God of Ghosts.

Xiao Mu had traveled to the South Five Regions multiple times and drew conclusions from his experiences there.

He had a suspicion that the Curse Gate's target might be in the South Five Regions, and the South Five Regions might just be within the jurisdiction of the City God of Ghosts, Guo Xu.

As for the master of the Netherworld Passage beneath the Land God Mansion, it is likely Ge Earth God, who may very well be a subordinate of the City God of Ghosts.

After reaching the Cuiyun Mountain Region, the human skin did not stop but continued to travel southeast, passing through the Five Hua Domain, and finally arrived at the Black Water Domain.

The Black Water Domain is situated at the farthest southeast of the Ancient Luo Capital ruins, being the region closest to the southeast within the Eighteen Domains.

The Black Water Domain is not large, less than half the size of the Cuiyun Mountain Region. It is named after the emergence of a Black Mutated River in the territory after the World Mutation.

It's said that the fish mutated to have Spirituality due to the mutation in the black river and turned into an odd amphibious creature with legs that could traverse both water and land.

Xiao Mu recollected the information about the Black Water Domain and continued to follow the Golden Human Skin southeastward.

Signs of human life appeared ahead, and a village came into view.

After the World Mutation, as the world grew larger and the distance between households stretched, ordinary villages appeared as isolated homes, with several miles or even farther distances separating them.

A few farm vehicles drove past on the nearby Roadside, plowing the adjacent fields.
