"Fortunately, the Great Array had already been broken,"

Xiao Mu composed himself and looked towards the profound opening at the center of the Array, then leaped straight into it.

The primary function of the Concealment Array was to prevent outsiders from entering, not to guard the inside, so after the Array was broken, there was no danger inside.

Xiao Mu's body continuously descended, quickly reaching a vast space.

He had walked only a few steps deeper when a large door appeared before him.

Xiao Mu pushed on the door with his hand, and it opened with a response, revealing a massive Warehouse.

Inside the Warehouse were rows of shelves, all made from ordinary wood, and over the years, most of them had decayed.

"It seems like it's a storage place for military supplies!"

Xiao Mu surveyed the layout of the Warehouse, and according to the records in ancient data, he quickly deduced the purpose of this massive warehouse.

This massive Warehouse, especially those wooden shelves, was evidently used to store military supplies during the Ancient Great War.

"The warehouse has been emptied, the consumption of battle was too great, it seems the Ancient Great War was even more fierce than I had imagined," he thought.

Xiao Mu used his Five Elements Escaping Technique to quickly search the Warehouse, but he soon returned, feeling slightly disappointed by the emptiness of the Warehouse.

Soon, he began to think, "Every Warehouse should have an Office, which is essentially the so-called duty of the warehouse manager."

"According to the ancient records, some offices were right next to the smaller Warehouses, which were used to store the most valuable treasures. Additionally, the Offices always had some records, which would help me understand more about the Ancient Great War."

Xiao Mu took out a compass, shook it a few times, looked at the layout of the massive Warehouse, and finally determined the direction of the Office, he commenced his Escape Art toward the southwest direction.

After three to five minutes, Xiao Mu reached the outside of a room of ordinary size.

Pushing the door open again, dust fell from above. The door, made of ordinary wood, had completely decayed over the years. When Xiao Mu pushed it, the door frame fell off with it and shattered into sawdust on the ground.

With a wave of his hand, a surge of energy emerged from his palm, creating a gust of wind that blew the room's dust into the corner, then he looked around inside the room.

The first thing that caught Xiao Mu's eye was a table with a stack of ancient stone slabs placed on it; he immediately walked over to inspect them.

The stone slabs were inscribed with ancient seal characters, and Xiao Mu couldn't help but reach out to grab them, but just as he was about to touch the table, he realized it was decayed and a touch would inevitably cause it to collapse, risking the stone slabs falling to the ground.

Both hands stretched out simultaneously, gently supporting the bottom of the stone slabs.

The table indeed could no longer bear any external force, and the moment Xiao Mu supported the stone slabs, it cracked and scattered into sawdust on the ground.

Xiao Mu placed the stone slabs on the ground and began examining the text on them.

Recently, he had specifically learned some ancient seal scripts, so he was not completely unfamiliar with the text on the stone slabs.

Most of the text on the stone slabs was related to the records of materials coming and going, such as in a certain year, month, and day, several Energy Fruits were received, several Divine Weapons, several Healing Fruits, and similarly for expenditures.

Casually setting aside the stone slabs with meaningless records, he continued to look through more, reading ten lines at a glance, flipping through them rapidly. Before long, one of the stone slabs caught his attention.

On the ninth day of the seventh month of the Ding Chou year, the Chain of Creation arrived. This chain, forged by Divine Craftsman Zhao Yuanlong through the power of Creation, was intended to imprison the Five Elements Ancestor and was stored in the small Warehouse.

"Chain of Creation, imprisoning the Five Elements Ancestor, Divine Craftsman Zhao Yuanlong, and the small Warehouse…"

Xiao Mu sharply captured the keywords, and it was clear that the Chain of Creation was related to the Creation Heavenly King.

According to the records, both the Creation Heavenly King and the Chaos Heavenly Monarch, two Ancient Heavenly Gods, were aligned with the side of the Human world and had close ties to the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

He had not expected that the Creation Heavenly King would be involved in the imprisonment of the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor.

And who was Zhao Yuanlong, the Divine Craftsman? It sounded like he was a casting master. A Divine Craftsman among casting masters?

Xiao Mu knew that there were some treasures in the world that belonged neither to Divine Treasures nor Magic treasures, but were objects with special purposes. These treasures themselves did not possess great power in battle but had unique abilities.

Like chains, cages, the Demon-slaying Platform, and the Executioner's Block.

Ordinary chains could not bind Divine Spirits, and ordinary executioner's blocks could not kill the divine.

For divine beings, under normal circumstances, even if they were killed, they could reincarnate through their bloodline and resurrect using the Power of Incense Fire.

Yet, some craftsmen with special abilities, using special materials, could create executioner's blocks and demon-slaying platforms potent enough to kill the divine.

These craftsman casting masters might not have high combat skills, but due to their remarkable talents, they were able to join the ranks of the powerful, comparable to Array Masters like Yang Yuan and Sculptors like Niu Hong.

"It seems this Zhao Yuanlong is no ordinary individual, I wonder if he has any bloodline left. It's necessary to pay attention to clues about this person."

The reason he was paying attention to Zhao Yuanlong was because Xiao Mu had seen the Chain of Creation.

The Chain of Creation was undoubtedly linked to the Creation Power, and the ability to use Creation Power to craft such chains, even if it had been approved by the Creation Heavenly King beforehand, indicated that this person's skills were extraordinary.

"Considering the situation I saw in the Five Elements temple earlier, the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor is likely already dead. I wonder why the Lord of Bai's Mansion would bother forging the Chain of Creation to imprison the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor. Isn't killing him outright much simpler?"

The sporadic information recorded on the stone tablets puzzled Xiao Mu, leaving him unable to decipher the reason. He continued to examine the subsequent tablets.

The information recorded on the following tablets was worthless, all detailing the inflow and outflow of materials, until the very last tablet caught Xiao Mu's eye with something significant.

On January 3rd of the Ding Chou year, the mansion lord captured the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor and planned to imprison him with the Chain of Creation. City God Zhang Yan was ordered to receive the Chain of Creation.

"The Lord of Bai's Mansion really captured the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor and wants to imprison him? Odd, why not just kill the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor?"

This last entry once again perplexed Xiao Mu. Logically, for the Lord of Bai's Mansion, the best course of action was undoubtedly to kill the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor, completely eliminating any future threats.

The Lord of Bai's decision not to kill but to imprison instead clearly had other reasons. Yet, what that reason was, Xiao Mu could not figure out at the moment.

"How strange, could it be that the Lord of Bai knows about the Immortal Divine Technique given to the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor by the Undying Divine Sovereign, fearing that after killing the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor, he might resurrect using the Immortal Divine Technique? But the Immortal Divine Technique given to the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor by the Undying Divine Sovereign is a fake."

"Perhaps the Lord of Bai doesn't know that the Immortal Divine Technique given to the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor by the Undying Divine Sovereign is fake; sadly, the asymmetry of information causes the Lord of Bai not to dare to easily kill the Five Elements Ancient Progenitor."

Xiao Mu felt he might have guessed the reason, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Gathering the stone tablets into the Earth Seal Space, these tablets, all relics from ancient times, possessed immense value even without the information recorded on them. Xiao Mu planned to take them back to the Ruins Headquarters to enrich the Archive.

Afterward, he started to search his office, looking for the small warehouse mentioned on the tablets.

After walking around the office, Xiao Mu finally stopped in front of a stone door and pushed it. The stone door was somewhat heavy but still slowly opened.

The space behind the stone door was not large, just a few dozen square meters room with stone tables and stone shelves that caught Xiao Mu's attention.

These stone tables and shelves were basically empty, displaying few objects except for the innermost shelf at the bottom where white light flickered, and two energy Secret Manuals caught Xiao Mu's attention.

"It's a Secret Manual!"

Xiao Mu was delighted, his form flickered, and he swiftly reached the shelf, squatted down, and grabbed the energy Secret Manuals.

Channelling his Divine Sense into the Secret Manuals, sensing their contents, it didn't take long for Xiao Mu's face to show delight, "A True God Realm Secret Manual, the Three Flowers Tempering Body Technique!"
