"Is it a Divine Treasure? No, this is the true Land God's Purple Sun Silver Light Crown!"
The discovery filled Xiao Mu with great joy.
After entering the ruins of the Great Tang, he had read many books related to ancient treasures and immediately recognized the Black Gauze Hat atop the middle-aged man's head as the true Land God's Purple Sun Silver Light Crown.
The Purple Sun Silver Light Crown wasn't for the physical body of the Land God but for the Divine Spirits.
Such Divine Treasures are indeed possessed by every Divine Spirit conferred by the Heavenly Court, but when a Divine Spirit dies, its treasures also perish with the annihilation of its spirit form.
Therefore, treasures of this kind are extremely rare, and the chances of acquiring them are astonishingly low. Despite having seen the corpses of several dozen Divine Spirits, this was the first time Xiao Mu had obtained such a treasure.
"Pardon me!"
In his excitement, Xiao Mu apologized to the middle-aged Land God and then reached over to remove the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown from his head.
With the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown in hand, Xiao Mu immediately unleashed his own Spiritual Tablet, and an illusion of the Land God's divine form appeared above his head.
As he placed the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown onto the head of the Land God's divine form, a wave of silver light instantly joined the Golden Light that his divine form was already emitting.
This silver light, located at the top of his divine form, was like an additional divine light.
"Haha!"
Xiao Mu couldn't help but burst into laughter. After donning the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown, his Land God's divine power received a significant enhancement.
"No wonder true Divine Spirits are much stronger than non-divine spirits or those who pretend to be gods."
"Every real Divine Spirit has a full set of official vestments like the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown, and it's a full set. It would be strange if they weren't strong."
The true Divine Spirits referred to here are those enshrined by the Heavenly Court.
So-called non-divine spirits or pretenders are people like Xiao Mu who have accidentally acquired the business of a Divine Spirit.
In truth, Xiao Mu knew that most of the Mutated Beings with a Spiritual Tablet were false gods.
Dismissing the vision of his divine form, Xiao Mu went to search the next prison cell.
In the following several cells, he didn't find much, just fragments of Divine Treasures and a few inferior Treasures.
Xiao Mu casually collected them and continued to explore further down.
A flash of Spiritual Light, and the Ghost Servant emerged from the ground.
"Reporting to the honored master, people from the Curse Gate have come in."
"I know."
Xiao Mu put away the Ghost Servant and continued to explore the cells ahead.
However, knowing that people from the Curse Gate had already entered Area Five of the prison, he was obviously much more vigilant.
Boom!
A booming sound rang out as the people from the Curse Gate began to forcefully break open the prison cell doors.
Xiao Mu ignored these sounds, pretending not to hear the booming from outside as he continued to explore the cells behind.
By now, only three unexplored cells remained.
Using the Yin-Yang Divine Drill, he continued to burrow underneath the doors of the cells.
Boom!
The booming sounded again as the people from the Curse Gate opened the first cell.
There were seven individuals from the Curse Gate who entered Area Five, among them two were at the Peak Perfection of the Yin God Realm, two at the Peak of the Yin God Realm, and the remaining three were in the later stage of the Yin God Realm.
As soon as the cell door opened, these seven mutated beings from the Curse Gate entered the cell.
"Cang Mang, search the corpse."
One short and chubby Mutated Being at the Peak Perfection of the Yin God Realm with a face covered in pustules looked towards a member in the later stages of the Yin God Realm, a man with a horn growing out of his forehead.
Cang Mang approached the corpse of a divine being with the body of a bull and the head of a man. After a moment, he found a Storage Bag on its body.
"We have it!"
Cang Mang, overjoyed, approached the short and chubby man with the Storage Bag.
"Give it here." The chubby man took the Storage Bag, opened it, but froze, "How come there's nothing inside?"
"Nothing? There's absolutely nothing in the Storage Bag?"
Another Peak Perfection of the Yin God Realm was a tall woman, standing at two meters with a very proportionate figure, but her pale face made her look like a bloodless Zombie.
"How could a storage bag of a Divine Spirit Realm expert be empty? Let me see?"
"See for yourself." The short, portly man handed the storage bag to the woman whose complexion was as pale as a zombie's.
The woman took the storage bag, opened it, and was also stunned, "It really is empty! Cang Mang, search the corpse again to see if there's anything else."
Cang Mang walked over to the corpse with the bull's head and human body, searched it once more, but still found nothing.
"This is strange!"
The short, portly man muttered to himself.
All seven of them found it odd that there was nothing else on the Divine Spirit Realm expert's corpse besides a storage bag.
However, the seven of them didn't think much of it, not yet realizing that someone had already come in before them and taken the items from the corpse.
"Let's go to the next room!"
The seven people left the first prison and went to the second.
It wasn't long before the second prison cell was also opened.
Imprisoned in this cell was an exceptionally beautiful woman.
Seeing the woman's corpse, the expressions of the seven Mutated Beings of the Curse Gate changed, as the short, portly man exclaimed with joy, "It's our Curse Gate's predecessor, Lan Ming."
The tall woman, resembling a zombie, nodded and said, "It is predecessor Lan Ming. It is said that before she was captured, she had the Secret Manual of the Curse Conversion Technique with her. We can't possibly come away empty-handed again, right? Cang Mang, you go search predecessor Lan Ming's corpse."
"Yes."
Cang Mang approached Lan Ming's corpse and soon found a storage bag.
However, when the storage bag was opened, the Mutated Beings of the Curse Gate were all stunned.
Nothing? The storage bag was still empty. Not to mention Divine Treasures, even the Secret Manual of the Curse Conversion Technique that should have been there was missing.
"Something's not right, how could predecessor Lan Ming have nothing, not even the Secret Manual of the Curse Conversion Technique?" The short, portly man's deeply furrowed brows seemed capable of snatching flies from the air.
"I also feel something's off. How could there be no manual on predecessor Lan Ming's person?" The tall woman, resembling a zombie, nodded, looking at the short, portly man in agreement.
"Let's go to the next one."
The short, portly man suggested.
The seven of them then proceeded to the third cell.
After breaking open the door and searching the corpse in the third cell, the expressions on all seven people's faces turned grave.
"Still nothing!" the short, portly man said with a serious tone.
"I think someone else has been here." The tall, skeleton-like woman made a deduction.
"Could it be Xiao Mu?" Cang Mang, the weakest among them, spoke without thinking.
This statement immediately drew the attention of the others, and the six turned their heads in unison to look at Cang Mang, startling him so much that he subconsciously said, "I... I was just talking off the top of my head."
"I think Cang Mang might be right; Xiao Mu might really have entered the Divine Prison. Don't forget, he's an expert in the art of concealment. Perhaps when he came in, our Divine Spirit Realm expert didn't even notice him," the short, portly man said with an even graver expression.
"What if Xiao Mu really has come? What do we do?" the tall woman, looking like a zombie, asked the short, portly man.
Xiao Mu didn't know that the Mutated Beings from the Curse Gate had already guessed that he had entered the Divine Prison. Worried about being discovered by the Curse Gate, he quickened his pace and entered the last three cells.
In the third-to-last cell, he found a piece of a Divine Treasure. In the second-to-last cell, apart from a piece of a Divine Treasure, he also acquired a bead, the size of a cow's eye and emitting a faint Spiritual Light, seemingly a Yin Treasure. Regrettably, Xiao Mu couldn't identify the use for this spiritual item.
While the short, portly man was suspecting Xiao Mu had entered the Divine Prison, Xiao Mu had just entered the last cell.
"Haha! Someone has come, someone has finally come in! It's been tens of thousands of years, oh, tens of thousands of years! Young man, quickly let me out, let me out! If you agree to let me go, from now on, under the heavens and above the earth, you shall reign supreme!"
An old man's excited laughter suddenly reached Xiao Mu's ears.
This sudden voice startled Xiao Mu.
There was actually a living prisoner in the Divine Prison!
How could that be possible?
Gathering his wits, Xiao Mu quickly inspected the cell, and what he saw surprised him once more.
The last cell did not imprison a 'person' but a Black Jade Spirit Tablet.
This Black Jade Spirit Tablet was about half a meter tall, twenty centimeters wide, and roughly the thickness of a finger. Its appearance was very much like a Spiritual Tablet in the human world.
The only difference was that this Black Jade Spirit Tablet bore no inscriptions on it.
And the voice that Xiao Mu had just heard was emanating from this Black Jade Spirit Tablet.
