Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 287
This Should Be Careful Enough

"This key...?!"
Zhu Changsheng's eyes widened when he saw the key. His entire body trembled as he said excitedly, “So it hasn't disappeared yet. It's always here, hahaha!!”
He threw his head back and laughed. As he laughed, two streams of tears streamed down his face.
It was as if someone who had lost all his wealth and lived a hard life for many years suddenly rediscovered all his assets.
This excitement and mood was extremely difficult to describe with words.
That's too comfortable!
Cui Heng looked at Zhu Changsheng from the side. After he finished venting his emotions, he smiled and continued to ask, "It looks like Sect Master Zhu knows this key."
“Yes, yes, of course I know. Our Plague Imperial Palace has been looking for it for 120,000 years.” Zhu Changsheng looked at the key and said in a trembling voice, “This is the fundamental legacy of the Imperial Palace of Plague.
“Your Eternal Highness, like this. This key was recorded in our sect book. It was the secret key to the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Warehouse. This treasure warehouse was hidden within the void, and only this secret key could unlock it.
The treasure warehouse contained copies of all the Imperial Palace Plague inheritance books, as well as the Sage King Armament held by the first generation Ancestral Master. This was to prevent the sect from losing its legacy after suffering a disaster one day.
“120,000 years ago, the Imperial Palace of Plague suffered a great disaster. After some twists and turns, they finally escaped to Chongyang Star. However, along the way, they also lost countless legacies. Their only hope is the key to this secret.
However, when the ancestors settled down, they realized that this secret key had been lost. No one knows where it's gone. For this reason, the entire Imperial Palace of Plague had been searching for him for 120,000 years.
I just didn't expect it to be in the Thousand Plague Umbrella all this time. It never really goes away..”
At this point, Zhu Changsheng could only sigh.
The legacy books of the Imperial Palace of Plague were not just martial arts manuals. There was also research on passing the Immortal True Essence to cultivate the Immortal Body, as well as many concepts and research directions.
If they had obtained all of this 120,000 years ago, they would not have needed to take many detours. Maybe they have developed the perfect method by now.
However, even though Zhu Changsheng sighed, he understood that there was no point in thinking like this.
Even if they had long since learned that the key to this treasure warehouse was in the Thousand Plague Umbrella, a Sage Armament like the Thousand Plague Umbrella was too powerful. It was impossible to destroy it with the power of a Sage.
Since they were unable to destroy it, they were naturally unable to obtain the key to the treasure warehouse inside.
“To put such an important thing in the Sage Armament, your Imperial Plague Palace ancestors are really good at hiding something.” Cui Heng nodded and smiled. "However, since it was the secret key to the treasure warehouse, why would it need to absorb Ye Han's essence energy?"
When he obtained this key, he thought it was because this key was relatively special and could absorb life essence, but he soon realized that this key was not like that. It only seemed to absorb Ye Han's essence.
"Maybe Ye Han's special physique is related to our sect's legacy?" Zhu Changsheng clearly did not know what was going on and could only guess.
However, he quickly thought of a way to get his answer. “Your Eternal Majesty, I cannot find this matter because the legacy of my Imperial Palace of Plague is incomplete.
As long as I use this secret key to open the treasure vault, I can get many copies of the inheritance book. There will probably be relevant notes or descriptions in it.”
"Good." Cui Heng slightly nodded and placed the key in Zhu Changsheng's hand. He smiled and said, “Then I will give you a mission. Use this key to bring out the complete legacy of your Plague Imperial Palace.”
“...” Zhu Changsheng immediately trembled. He first looked at the key in his hand in disbelief, then looked at Cui Heng in great surprise. "Eternal Majesty, this, this secret key is already yours."
"That's right, it's mine." Cui Heng nodded and did not deny it. He continued, “That's why I asked you to help me open the treasure warehouse and take out the books inside. Is there a problem?"
“But this, this...” Zhu Changsheng still found it very hard to believe, so he just said, “What if I go with this key and never come back?”
According to him, this secret key was a priceless treasure.
"You can do it." Cui Heng actually nodded, but he said to Zhu Changsheng with a faint smile, “But do you dare to do this? Is it worth it?"
This time, Zhu Changsheng fell silent.
He had already seen how powerful Cui Heng was. This was at least the Seventh Realm Creator, or an existence that was even stronger and more unbelievable.
Would he dare to offend such a person?
Is it worth offending such an existence for a moment of stability?
Answer's clear.
"Thank you, Eternal Majesty." Zhu Changsheng knelt on the ground, holding the secret key with both hands. He bowed respectfully to Cui Heng and said loudly, “I won't let you down. I will bring back the complete legacy of Plague Imperial Palace!”
"Go." Cui Heng nodded and smiled. “However, before that, I want to see the latest books in your Plague Imperial Palace.”
“I will arrange it now and bring it to you as soon as possible,” Zhu Changsheng said seriously.
….
Since the secret natural treasure storehouse of the Imperial Palace of Plague did not exist in the Chongyang Star, Zhu Changsheng left the planet after sorting through the books of the Imperial Palace of Plague that existed for Cui Heng.
At the same time he left the Chongyang Star, a Sage King hiding his aura and secretly sneaking in, arriving at Luling City.
It's Mingzhen.
It has been almost half a month since the previous "Holy War. The effects of the war slowly faded, but there were still people talking about it.
Especially when facing an outsider, the people in Luling City spoke with more confidence, as if they were standing next to the three sages to watch the battle.
When Mingzhen heard this discussion of commoners, she frowned.
He heard the words "Foreign Sage" and thought to himself, "I wonder why Li Quan suddenly revealed the secret about the Mystic Realm of the Purple Sun. It turns out that he has a trustworthy backer.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong the supporters he had, they were not as strong as me. A Sage out of nowhere dared to gather the hearts of people in such a place. He's really tired of living.
However, this is normal. For many years, those who could reach the Sage realm in the starry sky were as rare as the feathers of a phoenix and the horns of a qilin. Many people did not even know about the existence of Sage Kings. It is undeniable that there will be some people who do not know the vastness of heaven and earth.”
Although Ming Zhen thought so in his heart, he was actually relatively cautious.
He did not enter Luling City directly. Instead, he planned to capture someone to ask about the real situation in the city and the true strength of "Immortal Cui".
As for warning the enemy, Mingzhen did not think that she would make anyone wary.
In his opinion, as a Sage King at the Peak of the Sixth Realm, if he were to control one or two Limitless Gold Gods to interrogate information, it would be like taking two ants casually. That wouldn't worry anyone at all.
For Mingzhen, this was already a very careful move.
If not for the fact that he still had doubts about the Star God Chongyang, who was also at the Sixth Peak Realm, he would have long since entered and barged in. He won't be "careful" like he is now.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the Boundless Gold God rushed back from afar.
He had just finished dealing with the Nine Death Heavenly Sect and was about to report the situation to Cui Heng.
Mingzhen stood in the crowd. When he saw this Boundless Gold God, his eyes twinkled, and he thought, “I didn't expect to meet the Limitless Gold God so easily. This guy's not bad. I'll start with him then.
Then, his strength seeped out from his body and instantly distorted the laws around him, causing everyone present to ignore his existence.
At the same time, he stretched out his palm and grabbed the young Boundless Golden God who had just returned.
