Chapter 254 Former Holy Son

Key?

Cui Heng frowned. Why was there a key in a Sage Armament?

He held the key in his hand and examined it carefully. He realized that the material was neither gold nor jade. It was completely golden and about three inches long. There were very complicated patterns carved on it, and it looked incomparably exquisite.

Actually, from the appearance and shape, one could not be sure that this was a key at a glance.

However, at the same time that Cui Heng sensed it, a definition appeared on this thing -key!

Someone had used some strange method to attach the definition of a “key” to this thing, letting everyone who obtained it know that it was a key.

Forcefully giving something a certain definition is a shallow use of Refining Void into Reality. Even if it’s a specific spell, it requires at least the cultivation of the Early-stage Nascent Soul realm. “This key is not simple.”

Cui Heng made a judgment in his heart.

Actually, according to the analysis of this key with his Dharmic powers, its essence was not high, only equivalent to the Mid-stage Golden Core realm.

However, a definition had been given to it, and the meaning it represented was completely different. It was very likely related to the true appearance of this world.

Hence, Cui Heng carefully put the key into his personal space.

Then, he looked at Ye Han, who was already ashen with fear, and said in a low voice, “Qingshu, Mingqiong, restrain him and follow me.”

This strange key was hidden in the big black umbrella, which meant that there must be some connection between the two.

Since Ye Han had stolen this big black umbrella from the Plague Imperial Palace, he most likely knew the original origin of this “Sage Armament” and other information.

If he wanted to investigate the situation with this key, he could start from Ye Han.

…

The huge impact of Cui Heng’s arrival quickly spread outside.

Countless people who had benefited from this welcoming ceremony praised Cui Heng from the bottom of their hearts.

There was no lack of exaggeration.

After hearing the numerous praises a few times, Cui Heng’s image in the eyes of ordinary people had already become no different from a true Immortal.

The matter of this descent would most likely become a legend passed down by word of mouth and spread among the people.

Thousands of years later, as long as the inheritance of civilization had not been severed, the myths and legends about Cui Heng would most likely still be familiar stories to the commoners.

Now, Cui Heng had returned to the familiar and unfamiliar Fengzhou Overseer’s Office.

It was familiar because the State Overseer’s Office was still in its original position and had not changed much. It was unfamiliar because the layout and furnishings inside had changed drastically. After all, a hundred years had passed and there had been a change in dynasty in between. It was very normal for the previous State Overseers to modify the interior of the government office.

In the inner hall of the State Overseer’s Office, Cui Heng sat in the main seat.

Liu Litao, Chen Tong, Lu Zhengming, and the others stood at the side. He Qingrou and the other disciples of the Immortal Dawn Sect were helping the government maintain order.

Cui Heng’s arrival had caused too many phenomena and changes. Many commoners wanted to see what this Upper World Immortal looked like. In order to avoid chaos, they had to specially maintain order in the city.

Li Cheng and Li Wei also followed him here. They stood in a corner and looked at Ye Han, who was escorted up by Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong. Their hearts were filled with emotions.

The abandoned disciple of the Plague Imperial Palace, Ye Han, could be said to be famous in the Five Views Realm.

Even in the myriad worlds, such a Limitless Golden Immortal with a Sage Armament was enough to go to most places freely.

In the end, he met his demise on such a desolate planet.

The world was really unpredictable.

However, who would have thought that there would actually be such a great existence that had surpassed the Sixth Realm on such a remote and ordinary planet?

Even though a long time had passed, the two of them still felt like they were dreaming.

The power Cui Heng displayed was too unbelievable.

It was simply ridiculous.

Boom!

Ye Han was forced to kneel on the ground by Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong. He lowered his head and did not say a word.

He did not look at Cui Heng, nor did he struggle.

Cui Heng glanced at Ye Han indifferently and did not question him immediately.

Instead, he said to Li Cheng and Li Wei, who were standing in the corner, “Tell me what you know about him.”

This was what they had agreed on outside.

Li Cheng and Li Wei only woke up from their daze after hearing Cui Heng’s words. The two of them were clearly Limitless Golden Immortals, but they stood there in a panic as if they were sleepwalking.

Fortunately, the two of them quickly calmed down. They first looked at each other and exchanged glances. Li Cheng took a step forward and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Exalted Immortal. Let me speak.”

“Alright!” Cui Heng nodded lightly.

“Exalted Immortal, it’s like this. According to what I know, Ye Han is originally the Holy Son of the Plague Imperial Palace. The current Sect Master has high hopes for him…” Li Cheng recounted what he knew.

In his description, Ye Han was an orphan from a poor family.

3,700 years ago, he was born in an ordinary mountain village on Chongyang Star.

He lost his parents before the age of ten.

He was discovered by the Sect Master of the Plague Imperial Palace, who had yet to reach the Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm when he was wandering around. He was brought back to the Plague Imperial Palace and taken in as a disciple. Ye Han was talented, had a special physique, and an excellent foundation. His cultivation speed could be said to be world-shocking.

He stepped into the Deity Realm before the age of 20 and became a Deva at the age of 50. At the age of 100, he became a Mystic Deity and shook the entire Chongyang Star. He was conferred the title of Holy Son and enjoyed the same status as the Elders.

From that time onwards, everyone on Chongyang Star would think that Ye Han would naturally become a Golden Immortal and step by step become a Limitless Golden Immortal. He would become someone with power second only to the Sect Master and the Venerable Sage.

Just as everyone expected, Ye Han continued to break through quickly.

When he was 200 years old, he had already digested a piece of Immortal True Essence and become a Golden Immortal. Next, he used less than a hundred years to become a Limitless Golden Immortal.

A Limitless Golden Immortal who was less than 300 years old made the entire Plague Imperial Palace overjoyed.

Such a young Limitless Golden Immortal meant that Ye Han was a peerless genius who had a chance of breaking through to Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm.

This was a Pseudo-Sage with a bright future.

At that time, the Sect Master of the Plague Imperial Palace, who was Ye Han’s master, had already reached the Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm. He even specially approved Ye Han to come into contact with the Sage Armaments stored in the palace to increase his comprehension of the laws.

However, 200 years after Ye Han became a Limitless Golden Immortal, 3,200 years ago, a shocking scandal suddenly broke out in the Plague Imperial Palace.

The Holy Son, Ye Han, had stolen a Sage Armament and defected. His whereabouts were unknown.

For more than 3,000 years after that, Ye Han roamed the Five Views Realm and the surrounding worlds, killing every disciple of the Plague Imperial Palace he saw.

It was as if he treated the Plague Imperial Palace as his mortal enemy.

“This is a publicly acknowledged ingrate.” Li Cheng gave a final statement. This was the information he had heard on Chongyang Star.

“Haha!” At this moment, Ye Han suddenly sneered. “You’re listening to the nonsense of the Plague Imperial Palace!”
