Chapter 258: The Six Keys Gathered

In the Heavenly Realm, warriors at the Absolute Immortal level were enough to dominate a region. In the Immortal Realm, such experts were revered as Immortal Emperors, symbolizing supreme power and status.

Warriors at the Profound Immortal level, though slightly inferior to Absolute Immortals, were still among the greatest experts. In a place like the Heavenly Realm, where talents abounded, their strength could be considered outstanding.

If a warrior of this caliber took action, Ye Feng would have no chance to fight back and would undoubtedly be killed instantly.

Ye Feng frowned deeply. Since the opponent was with Dil, their intentions were clearly hostile. But given the current circumstances, he could only put this matter aside for now.

In the void, a palace that resembled a luxurious palace slowly took shape.

Ye Feng glanced at the others around him. Out of the six keys, five had already been gathered here. The only one still missing was the five-star key hidden by the Demon Monk.

Watching the palace gradually solidify, Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before finally extending his mental energy into the void realm.

“I want the five-star shaped key that can open this treasure!” Ye Feng stated his request.

“Insufficient domain master privileges to search.”

“Do you want to use the advanced purchase privilege?”

“Yes!”

“Using advanced purchase privilege once.”

“Special item: one five-star shaped key. Requires 1 million points of third-tier domain value, equivalent to 1 billion points of second-tier domain value. Do you wish to purchase?”

“Yes!” Ye Feng nodded.

“Purchase successful. Domain value has been deducted. Transaction completed!”

Ye Feng held the key in his hand, but he wasn’t entirely sure if it would be useful. After all, in his opinion, such a treasure key should be unique. He still doubted whether the one he bought from the void realm would actually work.

“Although many people are here this time, there are only five keys. It seems everyone will be disappointed again,” said Zong Ao of the Heavenly Sword Sect, used to this situation. The palace had appeared many times, yet they had never succeeded in entering it.

At that moment, Fat saw the five-star shaped object in Ye Feng’s hand. A hint of suspicion flashed across his face. “Ye Feng, is that the five-star shaped key in your hand?”

“I’m not sure either. It just looks like it,” Ye Feng replied helplessly, shaking his head.

“You don’t know?” Not only Fat but also everyone else around turned their attention to Ye Feng’s hand. “Then where did you get this key?”

“I got it by accident,” Ye Feng came up with such an incredible excuse in an attempt to bluff his way through.
“You’re not joking, are you?” Fat certainly wouldn’t believe the story Ye Feng made up on the spot.
“I really got it by accident, and that’s why I’m not sure if this key is the one we need,” Ye Feng insisted.
He really didn’t know whether this key could open the treasure, after all, it wasn’t the real one.
“It’s simple to find out if it’s the key we need—just insert it into the keyhole and see what happens,” Fat said irritably when Ye Feng refused to tell the truth.
At that moment, Su Mo suddenly appeared behind Ye Feng. “Now you have an extra ring. Can I join your team?”
“Whatever you want. I’m not even sure if this thing is real or not,” Ye Feng shrugged helplessly.
“It doesn’t matter. If it doesn’t work, you can just go back to Fat’s team. It won’t affect anything,” Su Mo said cheerfully.
“Alright then!” Ye Feng agreed after hearing her words.
A loud roar came from the void, as if some giant object was firmly seated on the ground. Almost at the same time, Ye Feng saw Zong Ao and the others leap up the moment the sound reached them and rush toward several doors of the palace.
It was a magnificent, huge palace. The first floor had seven doors, with only the middle door being several times larger than the others. The six doors on either side each had a recessed pattern.
Ye Feng greeted Fat and the others before rushing toward the door with the five-star recessed pattern. Fat followed suit.
The door with the quadrilateral pattern was less than two meters away from the door where Ye Feng stood. Fat and the others stood in front of the door on Ye Feng’s left.
“BOSS, let’s join you!” Lilith secretly sent a message to Ye Feng. She didn’t express her thoughts directly, as Fat was right beside her.
“No need!” Ye Feng shook his head. “If you come now, Fat will definitely get suspicious. Better not. We’ll meet inside the palace. Anyway, one group per door—I won’t run into that guy named Tie Man.”

After speaking, Ye Feng glanced at Fat and the others. Seeing that they had all placed their keys in the notch without any further actions, he then inserted his five-star key into the notch as well.

To Ye Feng’s surprise, the key fit perfectly into place, and a sound of springs being pulled came from above. Soon after, he saw the key he had inserted rotate automatically by 90 degrees, with no resistance at all. Only then did he feel relieved, thinking to himself, “So this key really works well.”

“How’s it going on your end? My key has already rotated 90 degrees,” Fat said, turning to look at Ye Feng.

“It seems to work for now,” Ye Feng replied, nodding at him. “Mine has also rotated 90 degrees.”

After all six keys had rotated 90 degrees, complete silence fell over the entire space. After that brief silence, a violent tremor came from the palace. Led by Zong Ao, everyone immediately stepped back, stopping only when they were a good distance away before they could hear anything clearly. Seeing this, Ye Feng also grabbed Su Mo’s wrist and pulled her away as well.

“What’s going on?” Ye Feng asked in surprise, looking at Zong Ao, who had explored the treasure the most times.

“Under normal circumstances, the next step should be the emission of a large number of items of various levels,” Zong Ao explained patiently despite the urgency.

Hearing this, everyone waited even more patiently. But after just a few more tremors, the palace fell silent again. Everyone present held their breath, waiting to see what would happen next. Meanwhile, Zong Ao and Makas frowned, their expressions showing a hint of confusion.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask. “What exactly is going on? Why do you two look like that?”
