And Xiao Mu, finally, took nearly a month to walk through the entire Blood Realm.

After this tour, Xiao Mu learned a lot and also understood the dire situation of the Blood Realm.

The entire Blood Realm was similarly desolate, damaged everywhere, with people injured in every place.

During this patrol, Xiao Mu also cultivated, consuming energy fruits daily to continue enhancing his strength.

He felt that he was reaching his limit.

After half a month, he found it hard to continue cultivating.

This situation made Xiao Mu feel uneasy.

But soon, he thought of a solution, hurriedly taking out a secret manual and directly performing a Mutation Technique on it.

"The Divine Secret Record," a cultivation method suitable for mutated beings at the True God Level.

Consuming a hundred Energy Points, Xiao Mu successfully mutated this secret manual.

As a result of his mutation, he completed this manual, making the previously incomplete parts more complete, and improved the cultivation effects as well.

In fact, "The Divine Secret Record" originated from ancient times, created by a True God.

This manual was a self-created cultivation method by that True God, intended for breaking through realms.

And that True God was considered a genius, but after reaching the mid-stage of the True God Level, he couldn't break through further. He reached his limit, and his progress stalled.

Therefore, this True God consumed massive resources and energy and eventually created "The Divine Secret Record."

Practicing "The Divine Secret Record" cushioned his limits, allowing him to continue cultivating.

But unfortunately, that True God was not omnipotent, and his self-created record was only enough to support him to the later stages of the True God Level, unable to reach the peak.

That True God had his limits, and his self-created method had limits too.

And now, Xiao Mu brought out this self-created "The Divine Secret Record" and, using the Mutation Technique, was able to continue cultivating further.

Xiao Mu began cultivating "The Divine Secret Record," and his cultivation continued smoothly, transforming the consumed energy fruits into power and enhancing his strength.

After a month, Xiao Mu's strength showed significant improvement.

A month later, Xiao Mu began walking in the Blood Realm, inspecting it while searching for traces of powerful figures from the Heavenly Court.

He hoped to find the existence of True Gods from the Heavenly Court, such as Yan An, or others, to seize the Five-Color Soil or Green Soul Wood.

But unfortunately, Xiao Mu's luck wasn't very good. He couldn't find any traces of the later-stage True Gods of the Heavenly Court after two months.

During these two months, however, his strength increased again.

On this day, Xiao Mu decided to head west because he heard that there were traces of mutated beings from the Heavenly Court in the western part of the Blood Realm.

He flew continuously westward until he finally stopped in a bustling city.

Xiao Mu flew directly into the city.

Kaihua City.

Xiao Mu entered this city because he heard that traces of powerful figures from the Heavenly Court could be found here.

However, the city was too large with a big population, and upon entering, he had no idea where these powerful figures were.

Xiao Mu decided to land and walk around the city.

Kaihua City had already begun to develop, with steam firewheel cars traveling along tracks, and children selling newspapers by shouting continuously to passersby.

Moreover, Xiao Mu saw telephone booths by the roadside, and some people were even making calls in them.

"Indeed, this is the Steam Age."

The situation in Kaihua City filled Xiao Mu with endless curiosity.

He decided to experience the urban life in-depth.

So, Xiao Mu stopped by the roadside, watched a firewheel car approaching on the track, and stood beside the station to beckon it.

The firewheel car's driver slowly stopped beside him.

Xiao Mu took a step onto the firewheel car.

The door of the firewheel car was quite high, requiring one to lift their leg to get on, but fortunately, there were handrails to hold onto to prevent anyone from not getting on.

Xiao Mu didn't deliberately use his powers and grabbed the handrails to get on the firewheel car.

"Sir, three dollars."

A person who appeared to be a young servant wearing a tilted cap smiled and approached, extending his hand to Xiao Mu.

"Three dollars?" Xiao Mu was puzzled, and the next moment realized the person was asking him for money.

Wasn't it supposed to cost money to take the train?

However, Xiao Mu didn't have any money on him.

He glanced at the young servant's hand and saw a few coins and several banknotes of varying denominations, one dollar and ten dollars.

With a thought, Xiao Mu pretended to reach into his pocket, and under the operation of the Changeable Divine Technique, a small piece of his fingernail broke off, transforming into a ten-dollar banknote in his hand.

"One moment."

Xiao Mu smiled and told the young servant, reaching into his pocket and quickly pulling out the newly transformed banknote.

He couldn't help but be curious, carefully examining the ten-dollar banknote and discovering that it featured the highest peak and the largest ocean in the Blood Realm.

With a chuckle, Xiao Mu handed the banknote to the young servant.

"Thank you!"

The young servant politely thanked him, saying with a smile while thanking Xiao Mu, "I'll take ten dollars from you, and you should get seven dollars back."

Saying this, the young servant started counting money and soon handed Xiao Mu a five-dollar note and two one-dollar coins as change.

Xiao Mu took the change and casually put it in his pocket.

However, while the young servant was giving him change, Xiao Mu inadvertently noticed that this person had lost his right thumb.

Apparently, the Blood Realm was damaged, but the young servant's injury was relatively light, only losing a right thumb.

Relatively speaking, this person was considered lucky.

People got on and off the firewheel car, and at one point, during a crowded section, the car was full, with people even standing. Xiao Mu graciously gave his seat to a young lady.

In this world, it was not yet distorted. The young lady was pleasantly surprised by Xiao Mu's gesture, happily thanking him before sitting down.

A few minutes later, Xiao Mu got off the firewheel car.

After getting off, he headed directly towards a nearby store.

Stores in the Steam Era were significantly different from those in Xiao Mu's time, lacking diversity in goods. The so-called department stores only offered a few items.

There was no doubt the most abundant items were clothes, followed by fabrics, and then some household items like mops, brooms, and dustpans. Mechanical products were even rarer; Xiao Mu saw a record player, but it was locked in a display case.

Evidently, in this era, even a simple record player was an extremely valuable high-tech product.

Xiao Mu inquired and realized that a record player was priced at over a thousand dollars.

Meanwhile, the salary of a university teacher in a civil service position was only two to three hundred dollars a month.

For ordinary people, the salary was even lower; a senior worker in a nearby dyeing factory earned less than a hundred dollars a month.

A record player cost a year's salary for a regular person.

Xiao Mu couldn't help but marvel at how unexpected this era was, but at the same time, it offered delightful surprises.

Leaving the department store, Xiao Mu didn't purchase any objects since they all seemed novel yet insufficiently appealing to him.

After all, he came from a modernized, advanced era.

After exiting the department store, Xiao Mu went to a nearby stall and bought some food. He hadn't eaten in a long time; this time, he ate simply to experience it.

The food from the street vendor was quite good, and afterward, Xiao Mu continued on his way. Very soon, something caught his attention.

Ahead, a group of people with missing limbs was gathering in a certain direction, and it was clear they were all doing the same thing.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Mu couldn't help but follow them.

But then, a voice filled with surprise suddenly rang in his ears as a woman excitedly asked, "You... you are that gentleman?"
