Chapter 399: Chapter 32, replace (first update)
A key.
A bronze key.
Ye Sheng’s gaze landed on it.
He shouldn’t have been able to see anything, but Ye Sheng saw a dreamlike world on it.
This world was very dreamy in Ye Sheng’s eyes. He saw countless possibilities. At this moment, Ye Sheng seemed to see all the beauty in the world.
But in the blink of an eye...
Everything disappeared without a trace.
The wooden house was still the same, senior Xu was still senior Xu, and the key was still the key.
Nothing had changed.
Ye Sheng frowned. Was it an illusion?
“What did you see?”Senior Xu asked Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng came back to his senses and said, “A beautiful world, a dreamy and illusory world, a world that I yearn for.”
Senior Xu revealed a smile, and with a wave of his hand, the key started to revolve around her and Ye Sheng.
“This is the key to the Pure Land. Aren’t you asking me what treasures are in the Pure Land?”Senior Xu said softly.
Ye Sheng nodded. He really wanted to know what was in the Pure Land that attracted ye Hong.
“I don’t know.”Senior Xu shook his head and said regretfully, “I have never entered the Pure Land, so I don’t know what is in the Pure Land. But I can tell you that ye Hong has entered.”
“Ye Hong has entered it before?”Ye Sheng asked in shock. When had ye Hong entered it before?
“Ye Hong was able to grow to this stage in just forty years because of his gains in the Pure Land. He entered the Pure Land after exterminating the Samsara sect,”senior Xu said.
“Senior, you have never come into contact with ye Hong before. How did you know?”Ye Sheng asked.
Although ye Hong and senior Xu were both experts, senior XU had already retired to Tianshan when ye Hong rose to prominence.
The two of them had no contact with each other.
“It’s true that I have never met ye Hong. I didn’t know about this matter, but someone else told me,”senior Xu said.
Ye Sheng listened quietly, and another person was dragged into this matter.
“Who?”Ye Sheng asked.
Senior Xu had told him all these things from the past. Otherwise, Ye Sheng wouldn’t have known.
Ye Hong had actually entered that pure land long ago. Then why did he still need his big sister’s Key?
Ye Sheng had a belly full of questions, and he needed senior Xu to answer them.
“Broken Saber user.”Senior Xu’s Red Lips opened slightly, and he said a name.
Ye Sheng was stunned. He was the one who didn’t take action.
“Did broken blade master enter the Pure Land as well?”Ye Sheng guessed.
“That’s right. He also entered the Pure Land with Ye Hong. Ye Hong cut off his arm, so broken blade master told me all these things.”Senior Xu nodded.
“Senior, you need a key to enter the Pure Land. You have one, and my big sister has one. How did ye Hong Enter?”Ye Sheng asked.
Could it be that his big sister lied to Ye Sheng? Did she not need a key to enter the Pure Land?
Senior Xu Thought for a moment and said, “Broken Blade Master told me that ye Hong is very strange. He has a key on him, and with this key, Ye Hong actually broke through a passage and entered the Pure Land.”
Ye Sheng listened in a daze. Wasn’t Ye Hong Too Powerful?
A key to open the pure land guarded by the Changsheng clan?
“You’re thinking too much,”senior Xu said. He knew what Ye Sheng was thinking the moment he saw his expression.
Ye Sheng looked at senior Xu in confusion.
“Although ye Hong opened a path to the Pure Land and joined forces with seven or eight emptiness realm experts to head there, after entering the Pure Land, they were attacked by the Pure Land. As they were smuggled in, the Pure Land didn’t allow them to enter, so the attacks were very fierce. Only ye Hong was able to come out unscathed, and he even obtained some things. “As for the others, including broken blade master, they were all tricked by ye Hong. Broken Blade Master wanted to follow them out, but his arm was cut off by ye Hong. In the end, he decided to escape and enter the Heavenly Mountain. He hid his identity and changed his appearance. Ye Hong didn’t even know about it,”senior Xu said.
Ye Sheng understood. No wonder ye Hong cared so much about the keys on his big sister. He had one himself and tried to enter, but he failed. Therefore, he wanted to collect all the keys.
“How many keys are there in total?”Ye Sheng asked.
“Nine keys. I have one on me. Your Big Sister has one. Ye Hong has one. I don’t know the rest.”Senior Xu shook his head.
“Since the keys aren’t complete, how did this opportunity appear within a year?”Ye Sheng asked in puzzlement.
Senior Xu said that if ye Sheng broke through to the Void realm within a year, there would be an opportunity waiting for him.
But now, even ye Hong was unable to enter the Pure Land with just one key. Even if senior Xu gave this key to Ye Sheng, Ye Sheng would only have two keys to get his big sister’s key.
Two keys were simply unable to open the door to the Pure Land.
“The Changsheng clansmen can’t wait any longer,”senior Xu told Ye Sheng.
“What?”Ye Sheng didn’t understand the meaning of these words.
“The Changsheng clansmen have guarded this pure land for a very long time. As time passes, the Changsheng clansmen wither even more. My clan has all been exterminated, and the remaining few clans are also facing a survival crisis, so they want to open the Pure Land on their own initiative,”senior Xu explained.
“They took the initiative to open it. Have they contacted Senior?”Ye Sheng asked.
“No. I’m currently living in seclusion in the sky mountain. They don’t know, and no one knows, except for you,”senior Xu told Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng immediately felt honored.
“Then what does senior mean by telling me all this?”Ye Sheng asked.
“The Changsheng tribe wants to open the Pure Land, multiply their tribe, and obtain the treasures inside. Ye Hong also wants to open the Pure Land and use it to ascend or break through. I also want to open the Pure Land and see what’s inside. What exactly is it that caused my family to be destroyed and my tribe to be exterminated?”Senior Xu said through gritted teeth.
The Changsheng tribe loved and hated the Pure Land. This pure land was a treasure that their ancestors had protected for generations. However, in order to protect the Pure Land, the Changsheng tribe had paid too much. As a result, they couldn’t hold on anymore and wanted to open the Pure Land.., take out the treasure.
This was a complicated transformation, and senior Xu was the same. She had personally witnessed the extinction of her tribe and escaped while guarding the key. Now, senior Xu’s respect and love for the Pure Land had all disappeared.
She wanted to open the Pure Land.
“I see.”Ye Sheng understood now. Those who had the key basically all wanted to open the Pure Land. That was why senior Xu had told Ye Sheng that there would be an opportunity to break through to the Void realm within a year.
It was likely that at that time, senior XU had agreed to open the Pure Land.
“Ye Sheng, you know so much, so I have to ask you for a favor,”senior Xu said to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng said with a serious expression, “Senior, if you have something to say, just say it. If you want to go up a mountain of blades and go down a sea of flames, as long as Ye Sheng can do it, he will do his best to complete it.”
Senior XU smiled and said, “There’s no need for you to go up a mountain of blades and go down a sea of flames. Take the key and wait for the Changsheng clansmen to start gathering. When they want to open the Pure Land, you will go on behalf of my clan.”
Ye Sheng was stunned and said, “Senior, aren’t you going?”
