After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Upon hearing the news, everyone gathered around Hua Hua, who was standing in a collapsed ravine. Most of the ravine was filled with rubble, but a corner of a tortoise shell was engraved, which was the symbol of the Tianji Pavilion.

"It must have been the great battle that shattered the hidden array patterns, revealing everything that had been concealed."

Chen Futu was overjoyed and had everyone clear out the area. Soon they saw the hidden interior: a stone door with a huge, sleeping stone tortoise in front of it, and slots for the Heavenly Secrets Disc on the door.

Chen Futu placed the Heavenly Secrets Disc inside, and with a click, the stone door opened with a bang.

"Indeed, it's a hidden paradise!"

Everyone was thrilled. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion currently only exists in legends, and finding any remnants of it would be an enormous gain.

As Chen Futu and his party entered the stone gate, they saw a long, giant passageway. The walls on both sides were engraved with array patterns corresponding to various birds and beasts. Even with the ravages of time, they remained lifelike, and traces of laws flowed over them.

"It really is the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."

Xi Daoren studied this ancient tribe. It is said that they are skilled in Qimen Dunjia and Feng Shui. Although they are not good at fighting, they can kill people invisibly using methods similar to changing fate. There are also legends that the Tianji Pavilion can see the future and understand past and present lives.

The various beasts on the murals represent different schools of Tianji Pavilion's lineage. For example, the huge stone tortoise symbolizes the tortoise shell used by the first generation of Tianji Pavilion's founder. The various schools created by the subsequent Tianji disciples all share the same origin and serve the purpose of divination.

Chen Futu took the Heavenly Secrets Disc and went deeper. As he entered the tunnel, many branches appeared. The Heavenly Secrets Disc gave him a choice, and it would rotate on its own as he reached each fork in the road.

After venturing deep into the mountain for a long time, the group arrived at a palace inside the massive mountain. There was no one there; it was more like a tomb.

"Look here!"

Lin Ying pointed to a mural.

The mural depicts two young people traveling together and their journey of cultivation, until later, for reasons unknown, they fought and parted ways, one going underground and the other heading to another realm.

"This is a time when the ancestor of the White Night Clan and the former Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion were together."

Chen Futu spoke up instinctively, drawing suspicious glances from the crowd. Chen Futu then proceeded to explain what he knew.

The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion actually possesses similar abilities to the White Night Clan. The White Night Clan relies on bloodlines to search for earth veins and obtain treasures, while the Heavenly Mystery Clan uses divination to inquire about fortune and misfortune. According to the murals, the reason for the disagreement between the two was most likely that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master persuaded the White Night Ancestor to give up the search for earth veins, and the two parted ways as a result.

The following mural depicts the experiences of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master. Some time after he parted ways with the White Night Ancestor, he witnessed a great battle. He and a mysterious man and woman protected some people. Based on the clouds and bones that blot out the sky in the mural, it should be the Crimson Bone Ridge near the Boundless Sea in the Northern Boundary. Unfortunately, the mural does not record the whole story. It can only be seen that it was a battle between emperors, which resulted in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with bones piled up like mountains.

The Master of Tianji Pavilion stayed for a period of time after the great battle, and put some effort into doing some things for Chigu Ridge.

Qin Hao said, "I went to Crimson Bone Ridge and entered the burial pit. There were many corpses neatly arranged inside, which must have been placed there by the Pavilion Master. I was wondering why there were strange array patterns inside."

Everyone was thoughtful after hearing this.

The murals that follow continue to depict everything the Pavilion Master has experienced. One corner of the continent was shattered and entered the Boundless Sea; it was the shattered corner of the continent that was being protected.

"Leave the continent!"

Everyone gasped in surprise upon seeing this.

Chen Futu was secretly shocked. Who would have thought that the truth was like this? So it was the Tianji Pavilion Master and the mysterious man and woman who saved Lizhou.

However, the murals behind were damaged and their true appearance could not be seen. Later murals showed that Lizhou was devastated. Then, the Tianji Pavilion Master brought a corpse back to Lizhou for safekeeping. That corpse should be the ancestor of the Baiye clan.

The mural ends here. Something must have happened afterward, such as the body of the White Night Ancestor being corrupted into the earth's veins and punished, which affected his descendants.

Ding!

[Congratulations, host, on discovering the second top-secret information about the Outer Continent]

[An open, realistic scenario may exist within; the host is encouraged to discover it for themselves.]

Understanding?

Chen Futu seemed to be deep in thought, and immediately switched back with his avatar.

Everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the avatar, only then realizing that the original had temporarily left.

Chen Futu sat cross-legged in front of the mural. The system played the scenes on the mural in his mind, as if he had personally experienced this period of time and witnessed major historical events.

As guessed, the person in the mural is a certain generation of Tianji Pavilion Master, and the other person is Bai Ye's ancestor.

The sect leader grabbed Yuanzu's shoulder and cursed, "I told you, the earth veins are ominous. They are the manifestation of the will of heaven and earth. If you provoke them, you will die in them sooner or later!"

"You can mind your own business. I'm going to prove to my clan that my branch can surpass our ancestors. I'll make them kneel down and beg my branch to return to the clan!"

It turns out that the White Night Ancestor in Chen Futu's possession was just a branch of the White Night Clan. He left the clan to fight for his honor.

The end result was that he and the sect leader got into a fight and parted on bad terms.

As the pavilion master was leaving, he said, "You are stubborn and unrepentant, but as an old friend, I will come back to collect your body."

"It's not certain who will die first, as if your Heavenly Mystery Clan's calculations of heavenly secrets won't offend the will of heaven and earth."

"We are different."

“That’s right, we are different, we shouldn’t have been friends.”

The original owner of Baiye was extremely obsessive and impossible to communicate with, leading to a falling out between the two.

The Emperor-level battle at Crimson Bone Ridge broke out for reasons unknown, but it was truly devastating.

With his Saint King cultivation level, Chen Futu couldn't see clearly. He only saw the overwhelming martial divine light crushing the realm, causing countless people to die tragically, ancient saints dying one after another, and quasi-emperors screaming as they were refined, like cannon fodder.

Chen Futu spotted the man and woman with the Pavilion Master. Their appearances were extremely blurry, covered by endless rules, but these two people gave people a very familiar feeling, as if they had seen them somewhere before.

Especially that man, who used the Human Emperor's Domain when he attacked. Chen Futu felt the familiar aura and his heart suddenly trembled, "Human Emperor!"

There's no mistake, that blurry man is the Human Emperor, a true emperor.

He fought against someone unknown, but Chen Futu could clearly sense the rules of his martial arts, which was the opportunity the system had mentioned!

In this way, Chen Futu immersed himself in the ever-evolving battlefield, simulating the true essence of the Human Emperor's martial arts.

Seeing that Chen Futu had entered meditation, Xi Daoren and the others, unaware of the situation, dared not disturb him and went to look elsewhere, as the space was still quite large.

"My God, what is that?!"

Deep within the mountain's interior, the group discovered a bottomless ravine, its bottom pitch black, resembling an invisible, gigantic maw capable of swallowing everything.
