As Xiao Mu's hair-turned-doppelganger paid respects to the Divine Spirits, Xiao Mu's true body, now a Black Shadow, slipped past the shadows of the people in front, inching closer to the Spire.
Taking advantage of the moment when the foremost worshiper walked towards the Spire to offer Incense Fire, Xiao Mu's true form leaped out of his shadow, transforming into a tiny flying insect and fluttering into the interior of the Spire.
The inside of the Spire was vast, with divine curtains on both sides of the divine likeness. Xiao Mu chose to fly to the right, and after crossing the curtain, he saw the stairway leading upward.
He climbed the stairs without hesitation, intent on delving deeper into the Spire to uncover its secrets.
The second floor housed many rooms. Xiao Mu paused to listen and heard the sounds of Cultivation from within. The strength of those Cultivators was quite low, all from the Mortal Realm.
