Chapter 496 - 252: All Beings as Chess Pieces, Gathering Infant for Three Thousand Lifespans
But among the Righteous Cultivators, the leading monk opened his palm, revealing two fragments of a golden key that shimmered brightly under the sunlight.
A faint, hidden aura emanated, connecting with the external space, but the aura was extremely subtle. Apart from this, there was nothing unusual about them.
"Aren’t these golden keys? No, they should be considered fragments of a golden key?"
Seeing the two gold fragments carefully placed in the monk’s palm, Zheng Yi felt a sense of familiarity. Looking at the familiar patterns on them, it seemed he had seen them somewhere before.
Suddenly, a memory flashed in his mind.
When he entered the Sumeru Forest Cave Mansion from the outside world, due to a random Teleportation Array, he accidentally fell into a Fierce Beast lair. From that first beast lair, he fought his way out, finally obtaining a complete golden key from the remains of a skeletonized cultivator.
The difference was that the golden key in Zheng Yi’s hand was a complete whole, while the monk’s key was merely fragments, incomplete.
However, their faint aura and the unique patterns on the surface were completely identical.
Zheng Yi was almost certain that they originated from the same source.
But what exactly was the purpose of the golden key? Seeing these Core Formation Sect cultivators treating it with such caution.
He suddenly grew interested.
If there’s an anomaly, it must be something intriguing.
Perhaps from this golden key, he could uncover the true reasons and purposes behind the Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect and the Righteous Core Formation Sects entering the Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven.
Zheng Yi observed secretly, not worried about being discovered by the other party.
After all, as a Divine Soul Cultivator at the Core Formation Stage, his current Dao Practice was at the Half-Step Core Formation level. These Purple Mansion cultivators from the Righteous Core Formation Sects were indeed terrifyingly strong, true elite cultivators, but to discover him would be almost impossible.
Stepping into Core Formation, from then on the path is unparalleled.
The difference between the two was already essential.
At this moment, from the serious yet excited expressions of the Righteous Cultivators, Zheng Yi could tell that they cherished the two golden key fragments they obtained after much effort.
It’s definitely not an attitude towards ordinary items!
The reason for such a commotion was obvious.
It was all for these two golden key fragments.
As expected, while Zheng Yi was pondering, a low murmur reached his ears.
"Not failing the senior’s trust, there is indeed the existence of key fragments in the Fire-Scaled Beast lair."
The monk seemed to have removed a heavy burden from his heart, and the other four around him also showed signs of relief.
Evidently, these golden key fragments are of great importance, as even the elite Righteous Core Formation Sect cultivators were dispatched to find them.
"Senior brother, what exactly is the purpose of this golden key, could you please elaborate?"
The only female in the group, a divine melody sound sect disciple, curiously asked.
Although she was also dispatched to find the golden key fragments, she was completely unaware of its specific purpose. Yet seeing her companions seemingly aware, her curiosity got the better of her, so she asked.
The monk from Brahma Heaven Temple glanced at the others, then slowly said, "Junior sister, these golden key fragments are of utmost confidential importance; initially, it is not convenient to disclose, but now that we are here, for us Core Formation Sect cultivators, it is not much of a secret anymore.
"Since junior sister asked, I can say a little more."
"Junior sister, do you know why, since one thousand five hundred years ago, after the last recorded Nascent Soul True Monarch passed away, no Nascent Soul has emerged in the Great Yi City Realm within a millennium?! Nowadays, neither the Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect nor our Righteous Core Formation Sects have a Nascent Soul existing."
The female disciple from the Divine Melody Sound Sect was taken aback upon hearing this, her mouth slightly open.
Unexpectedly, this brother from Brahma Heaven Temple revealed such explosive news right off the bat.
She initially thought that within the Righteous Core Formation Alliance, this joint operation in the Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven was at most related to Core Formation Zhenren matters, but now it seemed to involve the legendary Nascent Soul True Monarch.
It now appeared that their mission was of utmost importance.
Yet she still couldn’t understand how their painstaking battle against the Fire-Scaly Beast Group, resulting in acquiring these two golden key fragments, related to the legendary Nascent Soul True Monarch?
But since the monk from Brahma Heaven Temple remained silent, she couldn’t directly pursue it, only widening her beautiful eyes to watch her senior brothers explain the mystery.
After all, the following matters were involved with Nascent Soul secrets, likely the reason these Core Formation Sects were jointly stationed in the Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven.
"What? These golden key fragments involve the legendary Nascent Soul True Monarch? No wonder even the Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect had to intervene, collaborating with the Righteous Sects, strategically orchestrating such a grand scheme here?"
Undoubtedly, this news was tremendously shocking, so much so that even Zheng Yi, hidden in the shadows, was slightly startled upon hearing such explosive news.
Almost failing to maintain his hidden aura.
He too never imagined that while hiding, he would discover such a piece of information.
In Zheng Yi’s perspective, as the actual controller of the Demon Dao Sect throughout the Three Desolate Mountain Range, the Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect alone was an absolute colossus, with numerous Core Formation Cultivators under its command throughout all the Sects and families of the range.
