Everyone in the great hall buzzed with discussion, confusion in their eyes. Was there something else they did not know?
Fang Mo lowered his head without a word. He had a vague suspicion, but he could not be certain.
True Lord Qingshui exchanged a glance with True Lord Yunhe, then another with True Lord Tianluo, before turning to the crowd. He waved his hand lightly, and spiritual energy surged through the air, swiftly forming an image.
The image slowly unfolded, and startled cries instantly rang through the great hall.
Nine divine pillars reaching into the heavens appeared before them all. The vivid carvings upon them, the enormous mutant beasts, the mighty warriors, the formidable power they radiated, and their grandeur as they towered between heaven and earth stunned everyone.
"What is this?"
"Heavenly pillars? Nine heavenly pillars? Where is this place? How could there be such magnificent heavenly pillars? Who carved them?"
A commotion swept through the hall. Everyone felt the same shock Fang Mo had experienced when he first saw the Heavenly Pillars.
Fang Mo's heart grew heavy. As expected, the sect was going to reveal the secrets within the Yin Ruins. It was very possible that the Divine Corpse had also told the Void-Piercing Great Powers about the seal.
Since they had gone inside, they would certainly have encountered the Divine Corpse. For the sake of the seal, the Divine Corpse might well have revealed its secrets. That would explain why the Tianli Sect had not fought the Mechanical Empire to the bitter end.
The True Lords did not answer the crowd's questions. It seemed that all of them already knew about this.
The images continued. The shattered divine pillars, the bleeding Divine Corpse, and the terrifying being within that enormous rift all struck terror into everyone's hearts.
