Yang Jing asked worriedly, "Mr. Xiao, if too much time passes, will... will these black lights fall down?"

Once the black light descended, covering Yang Jing, he would be slain on the spot.

Yang Jing, who had almost been slain by the black light from afar, was obviously aware of this and couldn't help but ask Xiao Mu with concern.

Xiao Mu said indifferently, "They won't."

"Mr. Xiao, are you sure?"

Yang Jing couldn't help but ask again, looking somewhat embarrassed.

He knew that by asking repeatedly, he was questioning Xiao Mu, but considering it related to his own life's safety, he couldn't help but inquire further.

"Absolutely certain!"

Xiao Mu smiled, clearly understanding Yang Jing's concerns, so he wasn't impatient and even took the opportunity to explain, "After all, the Tianmen Domain is part of my Human world, and in a way, it can be considered my home ground. At the same level, the person from the Five Elements Sect is no match for me and won't be able to kill you under my protection."

"Oh!"

Yang Jing heard this with a mixture of understanding and confusion, thought about it, and couldn't help but ask again, "Has Mr. Xiao already acquired a Divine Spirit Rank? Or is it the Earth God Rank?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look up at the Illusion of the Land God Mansion above Xiao Mu's head, his face showing deep envy.

As the Domain Master of the Tianmen Domain, how could Yang Jing not know the rarity of a Divine Spirits Rank?

Not to mention that Xiao Mu possessed the rank of a True God in the Yin God Realm— the Earth God Rank, which was even rarer.

In the whole of the Great Tang Ruins, only the powerful at the level of the three leaders possessed such ranks.

And those at the level of the three leaders had already stepped into the Divine Spirit Realm.

What Realm was Xiao Mu at? Mid Yin God Realm.

Being in the Mid Yin God Realm and possessing the same rank as the three leaders of the Divine Spirit Realm, what kind of concept was that? It could scare many people to death if they knew.

Xiao Mu sighed inwardly, feeling helpless.

In truth, he was keen on hiding his true strength, not wanting others to know that he had obtained a Divine Spirit Rank, as it would bring unnecessary trouble to him.

However, when it came down to it, it wasn't something he could control. Under those circumstances, he couldn't afford not to act or to avoid revealing his abilities.

"It is the Earth God Rank."

After thinking it over, Xiao Mu admitted it and after a pause, he added, "Please do not mention to anyone that I have a Divine Spirit Rank."

Yang Jing's expression turned solemn as he immediately grasped the significance, promptly responding, "Mr. Xiao, rest assured, I will keep this secret and tell no one. If Mr. Xiao doesn't trust me, I can make an oath..."

An oath?

That was indeed a good way to ensure secrecy.

Xiao Mu thought it over and found the idea of making Yang Jing swear somewhat coercive, but given his concern about his secret being exposed, he said, "Swear an oath to my Land God Mansion, and in exchange, once this matter is concluded, I will give you a Breaking Reality Pill."

"Of course, if you're unwilling to swear, then forget it; I won't force you."

By making Yang Jing swear an oath to his own Land God Mansion, if Yang Jing broke his promise, Xiao Mu would be able to sense it immediately and even exact retribution through his Land God Mansion.

Xiao Mu was clearly aware of the pros and cons of this and didn't force Yang Jing to make an oath but instead tempted him with the Breaking Reality Pill.

To the current Xiao Mu, the Breaking Reality Pill was nothing special, but for Yang Jing at the Mortal Realm Fifth Level, it was a coveted treasure.

"I am willing to swear an oath!"

Yang Jing was overjoyed.

After all, merely swearing to keep Xiao Mu's secret wasn't harmful to him, and maintaining secrecy would earn him a Breaking Reality Pill, which seemed like a huge win.

Xiao Mu smiled faintly, without urgency.

Yang Jing bowed solemnly to the Land God Mansion above Xiao Mu's head and began to swear, "By the Land God above, I, Yang Jing, hereby swear to protect the secret of Mr. Xiao Mu's possession of the Divine Spirit Rank. Should I fail to keep this oath and reveal Mr. Xiao Mu's secret, may I suffer heavenly condemnation! So be it!"

As the oath was made, the Land God Mansion above Xiao Mu's head responded, and as the Land God himself, Xiao Mu also felt an internal response.

With a thought from Xiao Mu, Yang Jing's oath was recorded by the Land God Mansion above his head, and it subtly intertwined with the destiny of the heavens.

Under the envelope of the destiny of the heavens, the oath was immediately sealed!

"Very well!"

Xiao Mu nodded with a smile, "You keep my secret, and once we're done here, I'll give you a Breaking Reality Pill when I return."

"Many thanks to Mr. Xiao!"

Yang Jing gave his thanks to Xiao Mu once again, full of joy.

"No need to mention it!"

Xiao Mu waved his hand, somewhat relieved that this method resolved the issue of his Earth God Rank secret being leaked.

Yang Jing led the way, and the two continued their journey.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of black light colliding with the Golden Light kept thundering above Yang Jing's head, each clash like a punishing thunderbolt, immensely forceful, as if any one of them could cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split.

The one from the Five Elements Sect with a Divine Spirit Rank seemed to have no intention of giving up on slaying Yang Jing, relentlessly invoking their Divine Spirit Rank to attempt to slay him from afar again and again.

Yang Jing's heart was filled with worries as he couldn't help but ask again, "Mr. Xiao, are you really... really sure I won't be killed?"

"Rest assured, when I say you won't, you won't," Xiao Mu replied with a reassuring smile, glancing up at his Land God Mansion and feeling much more at ease.
