"Ah... this..."

Xiao Mu was startled, and for a moment didn't know how to react.

The number of strong individuals in the human world was greater than he had imagined, yet for some reason, Xiao Mu felt uneasy.

Perhaps it was due to the opposition between the factions of the Eight Grand Elders and the Divine Phoenix Maiden. If all forces in the human world were in opposition, it would likely be very difficult to unite them against the powerful enemies of the Heavenly Court.

Thus, the more strong individuals there are, the easier it would be to tie down.

"Going off on a tangent again."

Senior Zun smiled again, feeling the topic had strayed too far, and then promptly brought it back, "Let's continue talking about the Eternal Lamp."

"The Eternal Lamp, Old Lv was dismissed after losing in battle, which led to the Eternal Lamp falling into Lei Zhanghua's hands."

"Now, we need to think of a way to retrieve the Eternal Lamp from Lei Zhanghua and return it to Old Lv."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu's heart stirred.

If the Eternal Lamp could fall into the hands of his own allies, breaking into the mid-stage True God Realm in the future would be much easier.

In fact, with this lamp, it could allow a large number of early-stage True God Realm individuals to very easily step into the mid-stage True God Realm, essentially creating mid-stage True God Realm powerhouses of his own faction in batches.

In this way, his side's power could be greatly enhanced.

"Does Senior Zun have a plan for how to seize the Eternal Lamp?"

Senior Zun said, "Old Lv and I are discussing the issue of the plan to seize the Eternal Lamp. We unanimously believe that to take back the Eternal Lamp, we must find Lei Zhanghua's mistake. As long as this mistake is big enough, we can ask the Human Emperor to revoke this person's authority over the Eternal Lamp, and take the lamp back."

"But, this..."

Xiao Mu hesitated a bit; the Human Emperor is currently demonstrating weakness, wanting to test whether the Eight Grand Elders have any rebellious intent. Even if his side discovers Lei Zhanghua's mistake, the Human Emperor may not necessarily revoke Lei Zhanghua's authority.

Otherwise, the Human Emperor would not have secretly assisted Jin Yuan to kill Huang Luo back then.

Despite this, Xiao Mu still held onto a glimmer of hope, saying to Senior Zun, "Do you two have a specific plan?"

Senior Zun lightly laughed, "Old Lv and I have already discussed this."

"About forty-five thousand years ago, at that time, the Great War of the Heavenly Court had just ended, the Heavenly Emperor had fallen, and Lord of Bai's Mansion had disappeared. Lei Zhanghua was ordered to escort the injured Yang Yuan to Floating Sky Mountain."

Yang Yuan?

Xiao Mu's heart stirred again.

Isn't that the god-level artifact refiner ancestor of Yang Jun and Yang Yu? How did it get related to this person?

But Senior Zun continued, "It's just that before Lei Zhanghua could escort Yang Yuan to Floating Sky Mountain, the Human Emperor fell into a deep sleep."

"So Lei Zhanghua, not wanting Yang Yuan to fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court, killed Yang Yuan."

"What?"

Xiao Mu was taken aback, "This... this... so ruthless!"

Senior Zun nodded and said, "Lei Zhanghua, although ruthless, prevented Yang Yuan from falling into the hands of the Heavenly Court, yet such an act cannot be tolerated."

"Therefore, Xiao Xiao, we only need to find Yang Yuan's corpse bones, and we will have evidence of Lei Zhanghua killing Yang Yuan. At that time, as long as this evidence is presented to the Human Emperor, we can ask the Human Emperor to revoke Lei Zhanghua's authority over the Eternal Lamp and reclaim the lamp, handing it back to Old Lv."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu pondered, and Senior Zun's suggestion did have a certain feasibility.

Even if the Human Emperor is deliberately showing weakness to the Eight Grand Elders, in the face of such obvious evidence, he might not be able to continue condoning Lei Zhanghua, right?

His side might really have a chance to snatch the Eternal Lamp from Lei Zhanghua.

For now, he said, "Does Senior Zun know the location where Yang Yuan's corpse bones were discarded?"

Senior Zun laughed, "As of now, we know of three general locations: one is in the Earth Emperor Domain southeast of the Three Emperors' Tomb, one is in the Everlasting Domain southwest of the Great Tang Ruins, and the other is in the Hua Zhang Domain directly north of the Great Xia Realm."

"I hope you, I, and Old Lv, each explore one of these locations to find the whereabouts of Yang Yuan's corpse bones."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but frown, "I am willing to search for Yang Yuan's corpse bones with the two of you, but how are we going to search for Yang Yuan's corpse bones? These three places are so vast, and we don't know the exact location. How do we search?"

Senior Zun smiled again, "Did you forget? Within the Great Tang Ruins there are descendants of the Yang bloodline. With the bloodline of these two people, it would be relatively easy to find Yang Yuan's corpse bones."

"Is Senior Zun referring to the power of the bloodline?" Xiao Mu, thinking of the Yang siblings once more, felt his heart stir.

"Exactly, it is indeed the power of the bloodline."

Senior Zun nodded and said to Xiao Mu, "If you are willing to search with us, then choose a place first. Old Lv and I will choose from the remaining two places."

"I am more familiar with the Great Tang Ruins, so I might as well choose the Everlasting Domain."

Xiao Mu thought for a moment and made a decision.

"In that case, I'll choose the Hua Zhang Domain. We'll leave the Earth Emperor Domain to Old Lv." Senior Zun smiled as he glanced at Lv Liangping.

Without a doubt, for someone like Lv Liangping, who was once the chief leader of the Three Emperors Domain, choosing the Earth Emperor Domain located within the Three Emperors Domain was the optimal choice.

"Now that we've chosen the addresses, we just need to pick a date, and we can set out."

Senior Zun said, once again looking at Xiao Mu, "Xiao Mu, before you set off, remember to visit Zhou Xuanmen or the Divine Phoenix Maiden. The two of them seem to have something to tell you."

Xiao Mu responded, "Okay, I will go and bid farewell to Senior Zhou and the Divine Phoenix Maiden."

Afterwards, the three of them discussed the specific methods to find Yang Yuan's corpse bones and also explored the likelihood of finding Yang Yuan's corpse bones in each location.

Then, Xiao Mu and Lv Liangping bid farewell and left one after the other.

Xiao Mu thought for a moment and didn't go back to his Tai Mie Mountain, nor did he hurry to construct and remodel his mountain, which already belonged solely to him, but instead directly flew toward the Cursed Divine Mountain of Zhou Xuanmen.

Senior Zun had told him to bid farewell to Zhou Xuanmen and the Divine Phoenix Maiden before leaving, so Xiao Mu first wanted to check in with them, but he decided to visit Zhou Xuanmen first.

Riding the Cloud Mist, he arrived at Zhou Xuanmen's Cursed Divine Mountain within over an hour.

The guard let him in, and a servant led Xiao Mu straight in.

"Xiao Xiao is here, sit! Your strength has improved quickly. You've entered the mid-stage True God Realm so soon. Sit, sit!"

Zhou Xuanmen, seeing Xiao Mu's arrival, was quite delighted and immediately invited Xiao Mu to sit down, also having an attendant serve tea.

Xiao Mu, sipping the tea, began to explain his purpose for visiting.

Zhou Xuanmen then said, "Having Senior Zun notify you to come over is actually related to you yourself."

"Xiao Xiao, you are someone specially requested by the Emperor Taija, and the True Gods of the entire Heavenly Court are now watching you."

"For you, not going out would be best. Otherwise, it's too dangerous; you might suffer an ambush from the Heavenly Court's True Gods if you're not careful."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu smiled, "Senior Zhou's warning is a bit late. I have already promised Senior Zun that I will head to the Everlasting Domain to find evidence against Lei Zhanghua."

"Is it Yang Yuan's corpse bones?"

Zhou Xuanmen, apparently knowing about the matter between Lei Zhanghua and Yang Yuan, guessed at Yang Yuan as soon as Xiao Mu mentioned evidence.

"So Senior Zhou knows too, yes, it's Yang Yuan's corpse bones. I've promised Senior Zun to search for Yang Yuan's corpse bones in the Everlasting Domain in the Great Tang Ruins."

"Alas!"

Zhou Xuanmen sighed lightly, looked deeply at Xiao Mu, "You're eager to break into the mid-stage True God Realm, aren't you? The Heavenly Court is watching you so closely, so I suggest you had better not go."

"However, if you're intent on breaking into the mid-stage True God Realm, even if I advise you, you probably won't listen."

"I'll split a Cursed Divine Cannon for you then, take it with you. If you encounter danger, just use this Cursed Divine Cannon, and hopefully, it will save your life at critical moments."

While speaking, Zhou Xuanmen extended his right hand, and Curse Power gathered in his right palm, soon forming a miniature Cursed Divine Cannon in his palm.

The cannon faintly showed Divine Texture, indicating that Zhou Xuanmen had integrated the power of his own True God Realm into the cannon.

Xiao Mu, having personally experienced the power of Zhou Xuanmen's Cursed Divine Cannon during his time as a Divine Spirit, knew that it was a powerful treasure that could repel powerful beings like the Blood King with a single shot.

He promptly reached out to receive it, expressing his gratitude to Zhou Xuanmen.

Zhou Xuanmen's realm was much higher than Xiao Mu's, possessing the strength of the late True God Realm, complemented by the Ruyi True Rune. Although Xiao Mu was also in the True God Realm, Zhou Xuanmen could still provide considerable help to him.

In critical moments, it might really save his life.

Zhou Xuanmen truly took care of him.

"This is as much as I can help you. All I can say is that I hope your journey goes smoothly. You don't need to visit the Divine Phoenix Maiden; what she wants to tell you is the same as mine."
