Therefore, Elder Jin's eagerness for the Eastern Domain Yanluo Seal far exceeds that of the other Grand Elders.

Xiao Mu, not waiting for Jin Yuan to say more, as if to confirm his own words, directly released the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

Within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, a golden glow danced. Inside, the Eastern Domain Yanluo Seal loomed hazily and churned incessantly. Even through the Emperor's Might of the Seal, Xiao Mu's presence could still be distinctly felt.

Clearly, the Eastern Domain Yanluo Seal had indeed been fused with by Xiao Mu.

"Enough!"

Jin Yuan, after looking at the Eastern Domain Yanluo Seal churning within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, abandoned the idea of having Xiao Mu hand over the Eastern Domain Yanluo Seal.

At this point, even if Xiao Mu wanted to hand it over, he couldn't. Furthermore, even killing Xiao Mu might not guarantee obtaining the Eastern Domain Yanluo Seal.

This Eastern Domain Yanluo Seal was very likely to return directly to the Grand Court of the Heavenly Court, near the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, upon Xiao Mu's death.

Still, unwillingly, Jin Yuan glanced at Xiao Mu, "Xiao Mu, since you've already fused with the Eastern Domain Yanluo Seal, I have nothing more to say."

"However, you must know that the Heaven Court's powerhouses are all searching for the Eastern Domain Yanluo Seal. Due to Lord of Bai's Mansion, Emperor Taijia's covetousness for this treasure is no less than that for the Life and Death Clock or the Reincarnation Seal, such Heavenly God Treasures."

"Although the might of the Eastern Domain Yanluo Seal is stronger than that of the Yama Seals of the other seven domains, it will also bring boundless calamities to you."

"Owning this seal, you will inevitably be hunted by the Heaven Court's powerhouses."

"Xiao Mu, do you really think you can defeat the True Gods of the Heaven Court? Can you survive their pursuit?"

Whether or not I can survive the pursuit of the True Gods of the Heaven Court, what does it have to do with you? Do you mean to imply that if I can't survive the Heaven Court's pursuit, you would help me deal with the True Gods of the Heaven Court?

Would you be that kind-hearted?

Xiao Mu, feeling displeased, directly responded, "No need for Elder Jin to worry; although the True Gods of the Heaven Court are strong, I am unafraid."

"I am already at the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, only a step away from becoming a True God. Last time I merited, I received a reward to cultivate in the True God Hall, which I believe Elder Jin is aware of."

"Once I enter the True God Hall for cultivation, when I emerge, I will already have stepped into the True God Realm. For someone like me, who has long fused with the Yanluo Seal, I believe I will immediately become the Lord of the Eastern Domain."

"Moreover, the strength of the Lord of the Eastern Domain, within this Eastern Domain, can be enhanced by the influences of this land."

"Once I become a True God, my strength will certainly be stronger than that of ordinary True Gods."

"What's more, by entering the Creation Space this time, I earned First Merit and can enter the Human Emperor Tower for cultivation."

"Given my strength, once I enter the Human Emperor Tower for cultivation, by the time I emerge, I might be at the mid True God Realm."

"Once I enter the mid True God Realm, how many True Gods of the Heaven Court would be able to kill me?"

"Therefore, Elder Jin need not concern himself with my affairs. I have the ability to protect myself; unless a Heavenly God power emerges in the human world now, none of the Heaven Court's people can kill me."

Jin Yuan was instantly stupefied upon hearing this.

Previously, he hadn't really considered that Xiao Mu, although now only at the Divine Spirit Realm, was already not far from reaching the mid True God Realm.

And once he becomes a mid True God, for someone like Xiao Mu, who wields the authority of the Heavenly Emperor, even powerhouses at the peak of the True God Realm can't handle him.

"Wait, Xiao Mu, what did you just say? Cultivating in the Human Emperor Tower? Xiao Mu, how do you know that the one who earns the First Merit in the Creation Space battle can cultivate in the Human Emperor Tower?"

Jin Yuan suddenly thought of something, his face darkening as he stared at Xiao Mu and sternly scolded, "Xiao Mu, I remember, after the task was given, the information was sealed off immediately, and only the Divine Phoenix was informed. Aside from her, no one else knew."

"How did you, Xiao Mu, come to know this? Whose mouth did you hear it from?"

"The news about cultivating in the Human Emperor Tower is confidential. The reason for sealing it off was to prevent you from only thinking about earning merit and seizing glory against each other when entering the Creation Space, which would be detrimental to the battle."

"Xiao Mu, who leaked this information to you? Who? Such a confidential matter somehow got out; I will hold them responsible to the end."

Shameless!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu immediately cursed as shameless.

The news about the cultivation in the Human Emperor Tower was learned from Gu Mei.

As for Jin Yuan's so-called sealing of information, where was there truly such a seal? The so-called seal only applied to the mutants on Zhou Xuanmen's side; his own faction, including Xu Lang, Chen Ming, Gu Mei, and Qin Gui, all knew what the reward for First Merit was.

Now this Old Ghost, seeing Xiao Mu mention the reward for cultivation in the Human Emperor Tower, immediately bites back, clinging onto him to pin responsibility.

"Ahem!"

Zhou Xuanmen suddenly coughed, interjecting, "Elder Jin, it was I who told Xiao Mu about the news that the First Merit can enter the Human Emperor Tower for cultivation."

"You?"

Jin Yuan shot a glance at Zhou Xuanmen, "Old Zhou, where did you learn that the reward for the First Merit in the Creation Space was cultivation in the Human Emperor Tower? At that time, I didn't tell you when I sealed the news."

"Elder Jin, I was the one who told Old Zhou."

The Divine Phoenix suddenly spoke, saying something that left Jin Yuan speechless, "Elder Jin's intent to seal information was for the purpose of ensuring cohesion among the human world's mutated beings against the Heaven Court, without them vying for merits. Although the thought was good, I felt it unnecessary, so I casually told Old Zhou."

"Elder Jin, if responsibility must be pursued, then hold me accountable."

"I wouldn't dare!"

Jin Yuan glanced at the Divine Phoenix, divine light flashing in his eyes, "The Divine Phoenix has great merit to the human alliance and has long guarded the Human Emperor Seal, awaiting the Human Emperor's revival for tens of thousands of years."

"Leaking information is a trivial matter. If it was leaked, then it was leaked; there is no need to hold you accountable. However..."

As Elder Jin spoke, he suddenly paused, then looked directly at Xiao Mu again, sweeping his eyes over Xiao Mu before moving on, "However, Xiao Mu knowing that the First Merit rewards entry to the Human Emperor Tower, when others do not, seems unfair to others."

"Unfair?"

The Divine Phoenix frowned upon hearing this and glanced at Xiao Mu to smooth things over, "Unfair it might be, but as only Xiao Mu knows, the impact should be minimal."

While she said this, internally, she couldn't help but feel discontent.

As to why the information was leaked, how could she not know the specifics?

This Elder Jin must have informed those in his own faction who participated in the Creation Space battle, such as Chen Ming, Xu Lang, Gu Mei, and Qin Gui.

Those who were truly sealed off from the information were the mutants from her and Old Zhou's factions.

It's just that since Xiao Mu was the first to bring up that the First Merit in the Creation Space rewarded cultivation in the Human Emperor Tower, Elder Jin seized the opportunity to make a fuss.

Regarding this, the Divine Phoenix had no good solutions and could only try to mediate as best as she could.

"Wait, Divine Phoenix Senior."

Xiao Mu suddenly spoke again, "Elder Jin said it was unfair to others, which I disagree with. In fact, because I heard from Elder Zhou that the reward for the First Merit in the Creation Space was cultivation in the Human Emperor Tower."

"I think, since it's a competition, it should be fair, and it wouldn't be right for only me to know the reward for the First Merit, while others do not, that would be unfair."

"So, before entering the Creation Space, I casually informed Xu Lang, Chen Ming, Gu Mei, Qin Gui about it."

"They are all aware that the reward for the First Merit in the Creation Space is cultivation in the Human Emperor Tower, so there really isn't an issue of unfairness."

"They, if alive, should have already emerged from the Creation Space. If there's doubt about my words, why not call these individuals over and probe their divine sense, to see if I told them that the reward for the First Merit in the Creation Space was the opportunity to cultivate in the Human Emperor Tower?"

Jin Yuan's facial muscles twitched immediately.

Xu Lang, Chen Ming, Gu Mei, Qin Gui, of course, knew that the reward was cultivation in the Human Emperor Tower.

But that reward was directly informed to them by the respective Grand Elders they were associated with. If it truly followed Xiao Mu's words and their divine sense was probed, wouldn't the petty scheming among himself and various Grand Elders be exposed immediately?

Such matters, they can do and dare let others know of it, but if laid bare openly, it would be a slap in the face.
