Chapter 1042 Benefiting Together

The little key then coughed lightly:
"Beautiful fairy, could you please let me go? It's so awkward talking to you like this."

Yunxi merely glanced at the other party and said:

“You have wings. If I let you go, you will fly away. Where will I find you? Wouldn’t that mean I’ll lose the chance to enter the underground palace?”

Upon hearing this, the little key immediately swore an oath that it would not leave. It had been guarding for so long and had finally waited for the person who came to break into the underground palace. If it let the person go, it would be the only one who would regret it.

Yunxi didn't trust this glib-tongued key, so the moment Heiyao released the key, she grabbed it and gently pinched it with her hand covered in Xuanlei Ziyan. She touched its wings with her other hand and felt a metallic texture.

Little Key immediately retracted his black wings and begged for mercy:

"Ouch! Fairy, please have mercy! Your strange fire will melt my wings."

He smuggled these wings out of the weapon-refining room because he was bored, so he could go to any corner of the underground palace. He couldn't find a second pair.

Yunxi then withdrew her hand, watching as the black wings of the small key nestled neatly against the sides of the jade pendant, before asking:
"Can we talk now?"

The little key cleared his throat and began to recount the origins of the underground palace:

"My former master was a very timid person, but he came from a large family and had excellent aptitude. With the support of the family's resources, he cultivated relatively smoothly and made several close friends."

Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long. A war between good and evil broke out in the realm of gods, and his master's secluded place of cultivation became a battlefield. He was forced to join the battle. Whether it was due to good luck or his strength, he was able to escape unscathed in every battle. Although he was constantly injured, he always managed to save his life.

However, his friends were not so lucky, and they all perished in the great battle. These people trusted him, so they asked someone to hand over the storage ring to its owner after their deaths.

After the former owner looked at the contents of the storage ring, he realized that it contained all their lifelong cultivation and insights, including alchemy, talisman making, array carving, weapon forging, and their self-created cultivation techniques. The purpose of leaving these things to him was to hope that they could be passed down.

Despite his grief, the master could only force himself to begin crafting the underground palace, placing his friends and his own legacy within it, hoping that those who successfully completed the challenge would inherit their mantle.

Not long after, the level of the first heaven where the former master was located dropped, and he became a lower realm. His cultivation level could no longer stay here, so he could only leave me to guard the underground palace to select people who could inherit the legacy. He had no choice but to go to the second heaven.

However, before I could find a disciple in the Immortal Realm to inherit my master's mantle, the underground palace was forced to split in two. One part remained in the Immortal Realm, which is the part with me, while the other part fell into the Spirit Realm as my rank dropped. Because of the loss of the underground palace, I also fell into a deep sleep.

It wasn't until 1200 years ago, when the lost part returned, that I awoke. Then I began hoping someone could enter the underground palace, but time had changed everything, and my location was far too hidden. It wasn't until those wicked fellows broke through the outermost mechanism that I fully awakened.

After listening, Yunxi pondered for a moment and realized that she had contributed to the intact state of the underground palace, so she smiled and said:

"Little Key, it seems we are quite destined to meet. Do you know why you were able to wake up so quickly?"

"why?"

"Because it was my idea to ascend with the entire Weiling Realm, and that's what I did, which made the underground palace whole again and awakened you from your slumber."

The little key was excited after hearing this, and spread its wings again, asking in surprise:
"Really? Are you sure?"

"Why would I lie to you? It wouldn't do me any good." Yunxi released her grip on the small key, held up the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, and watched the other fly around, seemingly processing the information she had just heard.

Meng Lanjun had already followed the red string on her wrist to Yun Xi's side. Seeing the black jade pendant fluttering up and down, she asked in a low voice:
"Ranxi, what is this thing? Was it the one that caused the fog just now?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"We've managed to snag a bargain from the evil immortal this time. It's a treasure trove with many valuable items inside. It all depends on whether we have the ability to take them."

"The Inheritance Palace?"

"Yes, and this underground palace should be located at the junction of the Immortal Realm and the Weiling Realm. It was the return of the Weiling Realm that made the underground palace complete and activated this key."

Menglan stared at the winged jade pendant for a while before turning her head and saying:
"This underground palace will be helpful to you, and my cultivation system is different from that of humans, so there's no need for me to go in."

As soon as Meng Lanjun finished speaking, the little key flew to her and said:
"You really have no knowledge. Although you are not human, all cultivation paths lead to the same goal: to attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality."

What is the Dao? Not only do human cultivators need to comprehend it, but you do too. Otherwise, why would you choose to cultivate in human form? Because the human body is most compatible with the Dao of Heaven and is most helpful in comprehending it.

"You're lucky; you came to the underground palace with the fairy. I'll send you to the Enlightenment Tree!"

After saying that, she flapped her black wings, and a teleportation array appeared beneath Meng Lanjun's feet. After Yunxi untied the red rope, Meng Lanjun was teleported away.

After merging, the Ice-Yi White Tiger followed the contract seal and found Yun Xi. Just then, it saw Meng Lanjun being teleported away. The White Tiger immediately used its thick and long tail to encircle Yun Xi, worried that Yun Xi would also be teleported away.

Little Key was also a little surprised to see the combined Ice-Yi White Tiger, and then said:

"The fairy is actually protected by divine beasts, not bad, not bad. Then I will also send them to comprehend the Dao, so as not to delay the fairy from receiving the inheritance."

Without waiting for Yunxi's reply, it flapped its wings again and sent the Ice-Yi White Tiger away as well.

Yunxi only had time to send a telepathic message to the White Tiger couple, telling them to focus on their cultivation and that she could protect herself, before she looked at the black jade tablet that was slowly hovering in front of her.

"Fairy, come with me."

After saying that, it flew ahead, stopping every now and then to check if Yunxi was keeping up.

Following the jade tablet, Yunxi successfully navigated a maze and arrived at a precipice. The black jade tablet then flew to a stone tablet of the same color and said:
"Fairy, I am about to open the gate to the Inheritance Palace. Which inheritance you can enter depends entirely on your own will. I hope you will seize this opportunity."

After saying that, it flapped its wings and flew toward the stone tablet, embedding itself into the recessed area. Then, a suspension bridge appeared out of thin air at the edge of the cliff, leading to the other side, which was not visible.

Yunxi, holding the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, slowly stepped onto the suspension bridge, wanting to know what kind of inheritance she could obtain.

After her figure completely disappeared into the mist, the little key didn't move an inch, as if it had become one with the stone tablet.

At this moment, an ancient blue stone door appeared in front of Yunxi. A huge alchemy furnace was carved on the stone door, and the character "Dan" was written on one side of the door. Obviously, those who entered here would receive the inheritance of alchemy. So she opened the stone door without hesitation and stepped inside.
