Chaos God's Nest

This stone cave does not seem to be very deep. Inside the cave, Yan Xiaohuang can even see a faint green light.

As soon as we reached the entrance of the cave, a medicinal fragrance several times stronger than before hit us in the face. Just one sniff of it made us feel an unprecedented comfort, as if we were floating in the air.

"Such a rich breath of life! Just by taking a whiff, I feel like my body functions are evolving!"

"The Immortal Elixir is the most powerful elixir in the world, so it's normal for it to have such an effect! Not only that, if you can practice with it for years, then your understanding of the laws of the Tao will be twice as good with half the effort!" Old Meng seemed very excited, and said in a voice transmission after hearing Yan Xiaohuang's words.

Yan Xiaohuang followed the ancient spiritual ape all the way to the depths of the stone cave. In front of them, there was an ancient green tree about two or three meters high standing tall. Its crown and leaves were lush and shining, illuminating the originally dim cave. Above the tree trunk, an extremely rich breath of life emanated.

Yan Xiaohuang was amazed. Compared with the huge sacred tree in the outside world that blocked out the sun, this small tree was just a smaller version. Perhaps it was the true body of the Immortal Green Tree.

The Immortal Green Tree seemed to have known about Yan Xiaohuang's arrival for a long time. Its branches and leaves were shaking slightly, as if welcoming Yan Xiaohuang.

"It is welcoming you!" Seeing this, the ancient spiritual ape turned around and said to Yan Xiaohuang.

Hearing this, Yan Xiaohuang was stunned, then asked, "Ah? It's welcoming me? How did you know?"

In response, the ancient ape replied speechlessly, "Have you forgotten my identity? I am its guardian, and we are connected with each other! How could I not know what it is trying to express?"

After saying that, the ancient spiritual ape quickly stepped forward and took out a wooden square box from behind the trunk of the immortal green tree.

"What is this? Fragments of the Immortal Key?!" Yan Xiaohuang exclaimed in surprise, reaching out to take the wooden box from the Linggu Divine Ape's hand.

"That's right!" The Ancient Spirit Ape nodded and said, "The fragment of the Immortal Key is the key to entering the Immortal Gate later. Without it, even if you have supernatural powers, you can't even hope to obtain a trace of the Immortal Emperor's essence within the Immortal Gate!"

"Keep it safe! Don't let anyone else snatch it away! There are only ten of these in total, and they're incredibly valuable!"

Seeing the Ancient Spirit Ape warning him so seriously, Yan Xiaohuang felt a little embarrassed and even hesitant, wondering whether he should tell him that he already had five fragments of the Immortal Key.

"Well...actually, I already have five fragments of the Immortal Key on me!" Yan Xiaohuang said with an awkward smile.

After saying that, he slowly reached into his arms, and then, without blinking, he took out five fragments of the immortal key, despite the almost petrified expression of the ancient spirit ape.

"you you!!"

Seeing the five wooden boxes neatly stacked in Yan Xiaohuang's hands, Linggu Shenyuan was dumbfounded.

"No? There are only ten of these things in total, and you took five of them by yourself. What did you do? Did you rob houses and become a bandit?" Linggu Shenyuan asked in disbelief.

"Forehead.."

Hearing this, Yan Xiaohuang touched his nose a little embarrassedly, then smiled and replied: "As you said, it's almost the same! But it's not that serious!"

In response, the Ancient Spirit Ape sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, it's useless no matter how many of these things you take. In the end, you can only use one. Keeping the rest will not only bring you no benefit, but will also cause you to suffer misfortune. Do you understand?"

"I know!" Yan Xiaohuang replied sincerely.

"Then you still take so much?"

"This isn't just one for me! One for Qinghan! One for Muxin! One for Kong Jie! One for Luo Xian! Oh, right! I was thinking of giving this sixth one to that Fei Ling guy! Wouldn't it be perfect this way?" Yan Xiaohuang said with a smile.

Hearing this, the Ancient Spirit Ape was stunned and asked, "Wait a minute, who are these people you are talking about? Why haven't I heard of them?"

"Them! They are all my good brothers and beloved relatives and friends! I'll introduce you to them later!"

"..."

Looking at Yan Xiaohuang with a sincere face in front of him, Linggu Shenyuan didn't want to talk anymore.

It can only be said that in all these years, this is the first time he has seen someone use things like the fragments of the immortal key as disaster relief food distributed by the court. It is such a waste of resources.

After a long while, the Spirit Ancient Ape slowly said, "You probably don't know!"

"Know what?" Yan Xiaohuang asked.

"The specific function of the immortal key fragment!" replied the ancient spiritual ape.

Yan Xiaohuang was also stunned for a moment, then replied: "Isn't it used to open the immortal gate?"

"Of course, there's more to it than that!" The Ancient Spiritual Ape shook his head and said, "Opening the Immortal Gate is only a secondary function of the Immortal Key fragment. Its primary function is to resist the powerful imperial power that will erupt from within once the Immortal Gate is opened!"

"Resist the imperial power?"

"That's right!" The Ancient Spirit Ape nodded. "The Immortal Emperor is the supreme being of the world! His source of power, needless to say, naturally contains unimaginable pressure! And with your current realm and strength, under the power of the Immortal Emperor, you would not be able to survive for even a moment, let alone an hour. I'm afraid you would be crushed to dust by that supreme pressure!"

Hearing this, Yan Xiaohuang touched his nose embarrassedly and replied, "Is that so? Then I really hadn't considered it!"

In response, the Ancient Spirit Ape did not respond, but continued, "The fragment of the Immortal Key was originally transformed from a complete Immortal Gate Key, and it contains powerful immortal laws. Only under the protection of these laws can ordinary people withstand the supreme pressure from the Immortal Emperor's origin! And besides this, there is another point about the fragment of the Immortal Key that you probably don't know!"

"What is it?" Yan Xiaohuang asked.

"The immortal laws in the fragments of the immortal key are not as fragile as you think. Under its protection, even if two or three people enter the immortal gate together, there will be no problem!" The ancient spiritual ape replied slowly.

"Is there such a saying?"

"That's right! Otherwise, why do you think the princes of those immortal forces are followed by their own saints and saint daughters? You don't really think they are here to serve as attendants for those princes, do you?" The ancient spiritual ape said with a roll of his eyes.

"I see! So, the six fragments of the immortal key in my hand are indeed a bit too many!?" After hearing the words of the ancient spiritual ape, Yan Xiaohuang couldn't help but touch his chin and replied.

"That's more than a bit much," said the Ancient Spirit Ape. "There are only ten Immortal Key fragments in the entire Immortal Road, and you alone have six. That's more than half! If those guys knew, they would definitely come and fight you to the death!"
