Chapter 1980: The Greatest Discovery in Human History
This team included Superpower Users, soldiers, Ancient Martial Artists, medical experts, explorers, street Magicians, Wizards, mental patients, and all kinds of other specialists.
They consistently pursued research into races, bloodlines, religions, ancient ruins, mythic legends, and so on.
They formed a gigantic institution with more than forty departments, something rarely seen in history, and their usual course of action was guided by divination, astrology, and other mysterious means.
At this, Ye Chenfeng felt relieved.
A lineup like this was absolutely capable of getting here. It had experts from every field; no matter what obstacle appeared, they could break through it.
Unless they encountered some existence they couldn’t possibly contend with, they were absolutely an unstoppable sweeping force.
Among them was even a fully organized unit, intended to forge an Undying Legion of Divine Clan troops.
But unexpectedly, after they came here, they were all wiped out.
After all, to most Magicians, they were just ordinary people.
There was another interesting record inside: they had found, in some ruin, information related to the Pirate King.
It said that they discovered some secret somewhere and transformed into Eternal Life existences like the Divine Clan.
They suspected that the Pirate King and his people had found the Earth Axis.
Ye Chenfeng’s brows furrowed slightly. "Could it be that there’s more than one Earth Axis?"
For a moment, Ye Chenfeng thought of the underwater base at the Skeleton Coast.
Was there a possibility like this: God had been here?
No!
This place had only just been discovered!
All of a sudden, Ye Chenfeng’s heart violently thumped.
If it were possible, there’s no way God wouldn’t pay attention to this matter.
Maybe He was already here, or perhaps this Mister Long was God!
Thinking of this, Ye Chenfeng felt a chill of lingering fear.
Finally, Ye Chenfeng saw the records of what happened after they arrived here...
The first thing recorded was how they got down to the bottom. It took them a full half day, exhausting every method, before they managed to bring everyone down safely.
The second was that after reaching the bottom, most of them fell into illusions and started slaughtering each other.
Everyone was affected except for a few Magicians and Wizards.
He was one of the lucky few who survived.
"The Earth Axis has the power to alter species, to transform humans into holders of Divine Clan bloodlines. It also holds the power to destroy the world. It’s a double-edged sword... Once it’s opened, this will be the greatest discovery in human history, bar none!"
Even through the written words, Ye Chenfeng could feel the excitement in this man’s heart.
"It’s actually a living thing... God, we witnessed an unbelievable scene..."
What came next was their attempt to make contact with the Bronze Ancient Coffin. But the instant they touched it, a sigh came from within, and an unimaginable scene appeared before their eyes.
And then nothing more; they were probably killed on the spot.
...
At this moment, in the Secret Land, everything was in chaos.
The people from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, as well as Buddha Lord and Mister Long’s subordinates, had entered the ancient kingdom.
Seeing the countless treasures, everyone was stunned.
But for these Martial Arts experts, after one glance they lost interest—after all, such things were external possessions.
Their gazes began to search this enormous ruin.
Suddenly, someone arrived, with a jade-like face, handsome and refined, bearing a graceful demeanor.
Clad in a blue robe, he looked like a great hero from ancient times.
"Greetings, Human Path Sect Master!"
Upon seeing him, the people of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion couldn’t help but bow.
The newcomer was none other than Mo Yunsheng, Human Path Sect Master of the Qiankun Six Paths of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
"Mm."
Mo Yunsheng nodded, hands clasped behind his back.
"So it is the Human Path Sect Master in person!"
Mister Long’s and Buddha Lord’s men also all wore respectful expressions.
After observing for a moment, Mo Yunsheng said, "Someone has already been here."
"Hm? Someone has already been here?"
The others all looked astonished.
Mo Yunsheng nodded. "Someone has already entered. They should have vanished inside. They might even have found the real secret of this Secret Land!"
"Ah? Who could it be? To move so fast, and slip past the tight defenses of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to enter here?"
Yin Rulong, Mister Long’s representative, asked in puzzlement.
Mo Yunsheng revealed a faint smile. "Of course. Because this was a setup from the start. Someone laid out this game, arranged mechanisms and barriers, then released the news to lure countless experts here."
"Ah? It’s a setup?"
Everyone stared in shock, looking on in disbelief.
Yin Rulong couldn’t help but ask, "Then, according to Senior Mo’s words, who set this up?"
Mo Yunsheng smiled mysteriously. "Someone from my Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."
His words were earth-shattering; as soon as they left his mouth, the whole place erupted.
"What? Someone from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion? There’s a traitor?"
The experts of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, in particular, had suspicion in their eyes as they looked at each other.
Lu Yunting and the like broke out in a cold sweat, their faces turning deathly pale.
"Senior Mo, why do you say that?"
Yin Rulong continued to ask, a trace of doubt in his tone.
"Because the method used to arrange the Blood Fog Barrier is ours—the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s."
As soon as Mo Yunsheng said this, the place erupted again.
"What? It’s a method of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion?"
Everyone stared at Mo Yunsheng as if they’d gone mad with confusion.
"Sect Master, why have we never seen such a method before?"
Lu Yunting asked curiously.
"Because this counts as a secret technique. In the entire Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, fewer than ten people know it."
Mo Yunsheng said calmly.
Everyone was even more shocked.
"Could it be that Sect Master already has someone in mind? Is that why you came in alone and left the other five Sect Masters outside?"
Thinking of something, Lu Yunting couldn’t help but ask.
Mo Yunsheng just smiled without replying.
This left everyone even more astonished.
No one had expected that all six Sect Masters of the Qiankun Six Paths would fall under suspicion.
"Let’s find a place first."
Led by Mo Yunsheng, everyone entered the palace.
After observing for a moment, they quickly found a solution.
"Senior Mo, do we need to go inside?"
Someone asked.
"No need. We just wait here."
Mo Yunsheng shook his head.
"I took a look outside just now. It seems the top of the palace is missing something."
Someone said.
Mo Yunsheng nodded. "That’s right. There’s a cylindrical piece at the top—the legendary Caelum Stone!"
...
On the other side.
"A living thing? Could it be that there’s a living thing sealed inside?"
Ye Chenfeng’s heart was filled with shock.
"A living thing?"
The Yin-Yang Divine Demon’s expression grew solemn.
"I’ve already checked. The last page of the Back-pushing Pictures is most likely inside the Bronze Ancient Coffin."
Ye Chenfeng said.
"Hm?"
"Right now, we can choose not to open it and focus on finding the exit."
Ye Chenfeng said.
But the Yin-Yang Divine Demon shook his head. "No. The Bronze Ancient Coffin must be opened. I have to take what’s inside. This is Mister Long’s mission."
Ye Chenfeng let out a dry chuckle. "You’ve probably lived for several hundred years already, and you’re still willing to risk your life to this extent for someone else? Mister Long is anything but simple."
"That’s between us. It has nothing to do with you."
The Yin-Yang Divine Demon snorted coldly.
The implication was that Mister Long’s mission had to be completed even at the cost of his life.
"Young Master Zhao, if this Ancient Tomb has an exit, then it should be inside the Bronze Ancient Coffin."
Qie Gewala whispered in Ye Chenfeng’s ear.
"All right, then you open the coffin. I’ll stand by and act as your protector."
Ye Chenfeng said.
Ye Chenfeng’s expression grew grave. The danger now was unknown; it was entirely possible they would all fall here.
He didn’t dare to be the least bit careless.
Determination flashed in the eyes of the Yin-Yang Divine Demon. The two of them moved in perfect sync, simultaneously unleashing a terrifying Palm Force—one yin, one yang, containing the mysteries of heaven and earth.
Their horrifying power formed two enormous handprints that forcibly pried open the coffin.
Qie Gewala was dumbfounded. After so many years of tomb raiding, he had never once seen a coffin opened like this.
Too violent.
As expected of Human Immortals.
The moment their mighty power touched the Bronze Ancient Coffin, a world-shaking change erupted here.
The most unbelievable scene recorded in the diary appeared.
