If it were a single Power Seed, Xiao Mu could easily condense a High-Quality Power Seed, even achieving the highest grade, a Ninth Grade Power Seed.

However, the Power Seed of the Gold-Water Dual Force meant that the consumption increased exponentially.

Even so, with Xiao Mu's strength, he quickly broke through to the intermediate stage, nearing the high-grade phase.

The contrast between the black and white became more prominent, with a strange light flickering out. By this point, the Seed had reached the peak of Sixth Grade, and it looked like it would soon break through to the Seventh Grade, becoming a High-Quality Power Seed.

But it was then that Xiao Mu encountered difficulties.

Xiao Mu drew a deep breath and directly unleashed a wave of Dao Method Spiritual Energy.

The Seed expanded on the spot, its suction power suddenly increased, and the dense Dao Method Spiritual Energy surged into the Seed.

With a bang, as if breaking some kind of shackles, the Seed successfully ascended into a high grade, becoming a Seventh Grade Gold-Water Seed.

However, Xiao Mu did not stop there; he continued to absorb the Gold-Water Dual Force to upgrade the Seed.

At this time, Qin Rui and the other two had already stopped. Only Qin Rui had barely achieved intermediate grade, condensing a Fourth Grade Power Seed.

This was the lowest level of intermediate grade Seed.

The others both remained at the Third Grade, unable to break through any further.

Qin Rui felt somewhat fortunate, while the others appeared dejected.

Meanwhile, all three of them looked enviously at Xiao Mu and his group.

Liu Gong and Liu Du had both successfully reached the intermediate grade.

Liu Du had attained the Fourth Grade and was advancing towards the Fifth Grade, while Liu Gong had already broken through to the Fifth Grade and was advancing towards the Sixth Grade.

Boom!

Above the Lake of Five Elements, there suddenly came a thunderous sound.

Immediately after, a thunderbolt appeared, condensing into a cloud formation, looking as if it could fall at any moment.

Everyone was shocked.

They couldn't help but look towards the center of the lake.

In the center of the lake, Xiao Mu's Power Seed had already reached the Eighth Grade and was progressing towards the Ninth Grade.

It was now on the border between the Eighth and Ninth Grades.

The grade of Xiao Mu's condensed power was too high, apparently touching some sort of regulatory bottleneck.

The thunderbolt fell, trying to destroy Xiao Mu's Power Seed.

However, Xiao Mu was clearly prepared, pointing a finger, the Great Decree flew out, protecting his head above.

Crack!

The thunderbolt fell, aimed at the Seed in order to destroy it, but the Great Decree blocked it.

The golden Great Decree was struck out a golden light, shaking violently.

"Ninth Grade Seed, form for me!"

Xiao Mu suddenly roared, a dense wave of Dao Method Spiritual Energy from his mouth sprayed out, all of it striking the Seed.

Boom!

The Seed broke open again, broke through the Eighth Grade, and entered the Ninth Grade.

Xiao Mu revealed a smile of joy, but he had no intention of stopping.

He controlled the Dao Method Spiritual Energy, continuing to absorb the Gold-Water Dual Force.

The dense Gold-Water Dual Force turned into black and white, slowly rushing into the Seed.

By this step, even the speed of Xiao Mu absorbing Gold-Water Dual Force had noticeably slowed down.

However, since the Ninth Grade Seed had formed, all he needed now was to make this Seed more perfect.

Boom! Boom! Bang!

A booming sound arose outside the Lake of Five Elements, with a powerful being attacking the Door-God Painting.

The Door-God Painting was shaking violently, appearing as if it might be brought down at any moment.

Apparently, the one who had arrived this time was a high-level being, even Xiao Mu's Door-God Painting couldn't withstand this person's continuous bombardment.

Creak!

The thunderbolt showed no signs of stopping, instead, it bombarded the Great Decree more frantically, trying to surpass the Seed.

"Sigh!"

Xiao Mu sighed faintly and beckoned, the Ninth Grade Power Seed falling into his palm.

With his strength, he could easily have condensed a top-level Ninth Grade Power Seed.

However, at this moment, this Power Seed had just entered the Ninth Grade and had not reached the limit.

But Xiao Mu had no choice but to stop thecondensation, the attacker on the Door-God Painting was too strong, the Door-God Painting couldn't keep up any longer.

At the same time, Liu Du and Liu Gong had also stopped. They had both successfully condensed the Power Seed they needed.

Liu Du stopped at Fifth Grade, Liu Gong stopped at Sixth Grade, and both were considered satisfactory intermediate-grade Seeds.

Both of their strengths were not top-notch, so they were pleasantly surprised being able to condense into an advanced middle-grade seed.

Boom!

Even more violent impacts hit the door god painting, which finally couldn't bear it and was knocked down.

Xiao Mu timely extended his hand and beckoned, immediately flying back the fallen door god painting, landing in his hand.

"Are you Xiao Mu?"

The figures of several evil ghosts materialized outside of the Lake of Five Elements.

There was a black light all over one of them, their figure faintly discernible, a huge oppressive feeling emanating from his body.

This was obviously a strong man, and definitely a master.

As soon as this strong man appeared, he ignored the others. His gaze fell on Xiao Mu.

There were other evil ghosts beside this evil ghost powerhouse, one of whom had recently escaped from the Lake of Five Elements.

However, Xiao Mu's gaze fell on a woman who was shrouded in Yin Qi and had almost no aggressive aura.

It was the Ghost Princess.

Upon seeing Xiao Mu, the smile on the Ghost princess's face widened, and she suddenly transmitted a message: "Xiao Mu, long time no see, I didn't expect your strength to increase so much, can you help me with something ok?"

Xiao Mu sent back a message: "Ghost Princess, I've been looking for you, my ghost servant has cultivated the Chapter of Goodness from the Scripture of God's Transformation, what power should he use to attain Dao?"

"This matter is not urgent, you help me kill Jin Shu first."

The Ghost Princess's voice transmission returned.

Jin Shu was obviously referring to the evil ghost powerhouse beside the Ghost Princess who was the leading figure of the evil ghosts in the Realm of True Nothingness.

"Are you Jin Shu?"

Xiao Mu turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Jin Shu.

Jin Shu's gaze was always fixed on Xiao Mu and he said coldly, "I didn't expect you to have heard of my name. Yes, I am Jin Shu."

The tone changed, "At the same time, I'm also very curious about what capabilities you have to dare occupy the Lake of Five Elements."

"Why don't you give it a try and find out what I'm capable of?"

Xiao Mu responded, as if it was no big deal.

Jin Shu said: "Since I am here, I intend not to let you leave."

Xiao Mu responded lightly: "You can try, but I'm afraid you won't be able to stop me, and instead, you'll lose your life by my hand!"

"Haha!"

Jin Shu suddenly laughed, "Xiao Mu, you probably don't know it yet! Zhu Lingzu teamed up with three others, but they ended up being defeated by Wu Guang. They were chased and killed by Wu Guang alone like rabbits."

"This is how you humans are, putting on airs as if your strength is strong when it's actually mediocre."

"Xiao Mu, even if your strength is on par with them, how much stronger can you be?"

"If you hadn't crossed paths with me, it would be alright. But now that you have, don't think about leaving. Today, I'll make an example of you and leave you beside the Lake of Five Elements."

Xiao Mu laughed, "You're pretty confident, but unfortunately, confidence is meaningless. Let's cut the nonsense and take action and see who will be left at the Lake of Five Elements."

"Jin Shu, don't say I didn't warn you, Xiao Mu's strength is nothing to scoff at."

The Ghost Princess slowly retreated, obviously trying to provoke Jin Shu.

"But regardless of whether he's on par with Zhu Lingzu and the others, I still don't take him seriously."

Jin Shu was indifferent and obviously didn't take the words of the Ghost Princess to heart.

Then, he turned to Xiao Mu again, full of confidence, "Xiao Mu, you probably don't know how strong I am. If your strength is only on par with Zhu Lingzu and the others, I can annihilate you with one hand."

"All right then! There's no point in talking more, let's do it!"

Jin Shu suddenly made a move, faster than lightning, not giving Xiao Mu any chance to react.

With a push of his hands, four ghost soldiers flew out simultaneously from behind him.

But then, suddenly, these four ghost soldiers disappeared, as if completely vanished.

"Xiao Mu, what kind of ability do you have to break my strange technique? Haha! You probably have never seen such a mysterious technique, have you? Die!"

With a roar, Jin Shu suddenly pointed his hand, the four ghost soldiers suddenly appeared above Xiao Mu's head, slashed fiercely, and were about to split Xiao Mu in half.

This was obviously some sort of secret art, unexpectedly, the ghost soldiers had reached the enemy's head, making it nearly impossible to guard against or block.

If it were a normal mutated being encountering this situation, they would definitely be killed on the spot.

But Xiao Mu was different. With a sneer, he pointed his hand, the Door-God Painting protected his body while the extreme brilliance reappeared.

"The one who should die is you!"

At the same time, the Immortal Slaying Flying Blade appeared above Jin Shu.

The blade showed strange seven orifices, and brilliance shot out from the seven orifices at the same time, instantly fixing Jin Shu in place. All of his seven orifices were sealed, and he couldn't move a single step.

"No!"

Jin Shu was terrified.

At the same time, Xiao Mu yelled angrily, "Cut!"

The Immortal Slaying Flying Blade fell, and Jin Shu, the number one powerhouse leading the ghost race, was slain on the spot.
