Yan Qiren’s eyes blazed as he said, ”This rascal actually brought three half moon keys…”
”What?” Most of the people seated in the Yan Clan hall stood up in shock. Yan Pingzhi gasped.
”Patriarch, has it been confirmed that the half moon keys can be used in the Half Moon Immortal Palace?” Yan Pingzhi tried to calm himself down, struggling to sound polite.
Yan Qiren nodded, ”Yes, they were the half moon keys from the Half Moon Immortal Palace. In other words, those were the very keys that the Yan Clan obtained 3000 years ago.”
When he finished speaking, Yan Qiren addressed the now standing elders once more, ”Everyone, please be seated. This concerns the future of my Yan Clan. We must not panic.”
Even though they all followed his instructions, they continued to breathe heavily. Evidently, nobody was calm.
How did the three big clans of Star King Mountain come about? They certainly didn’t just appear out of nowhere along with Star King Mountain. They only existed because of the Half Moon Immortal Palace.
The Half Moon Immortal Palace appeared once every 3000 years. It was said that there were 99 doors in the palace. Other than the last door, each one of the other 98 doors could be opened with a half moon key.
That was the reason that 100 half moon keys appeared in the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Any two of such keys could be joined together to form a full moon. But out of all of them, two keys in particular, when combined, would melt together to form a permanent full moon. No amount of strength could then force them apart. This key could then be used to unlock the last door in the Half Moon Immortal Palace.
Behind each door in the Half Moon Immortal Palace lay valuable treasure. Sometimes, it was one and other times, it was many. 3000 years ago, the Yan Clan, the Xia Clan and the Mou Clan each obtained a half moon key. They entered the Half Moon Immortal Palace and each unlocked a door. The three clans of Star King Mountain formed because of those three half moon keys.
As the years went by, the number of doors that were unlocked in the Half Moon Immortal Palace increased. There were fewer and fewer that remained locked. At the same time, fewer and fewer half moon keys remained.
That was the reason that everybody was so agitated upon hearing that Yan Yangdong had three half moon keys. That was also the reason that Yan Qiren’s blood was now boiling.
Yan Pingzhi sucked in a breath, steadied his voice, and asked, ”How did Yangdong obtain three half moon keys? And since he had three half moon keys, why did he want to go to Universal Hall so soon?”
Only big clans knew of the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Small sects, and ordinary people would not have heard of such a place.
Yan Pingzhi was confused. It would be years before the Half Moon Immortal Palace would be opened once again. Even if Yan Yangdong wanted to keep those half moon keys for himself, he wouldn’t have been able to enter the Half Moon Immortal Palace now.
Yan Qiren exclaimed, ”A few years ago, Yan Yangdong gained an excellent opportunity, and inherited a considerable legacy. At the time, we didn’t think much of it…”
Yan Pingzhi knew what Yan Qiren was referring to. Yan Yangdong had killed a rogue cultivator and had obtained a legacy place. However, the Yan Clan hardly interfered in affairs like these. Their only rules were that these matters had to remain low-profile, and that whatever treasures the Yan Clan’s disciples obtained belonged also to the clan.
It was these rules that ensured the Yan Clan’s prosperity, and which allowed them to slowly rise to be top amongst the three clans.
”Other than obtaining the legacy from the Legacy Cave, Yan Yangdong also obtained a half moon key. He obtained the other two half moon keys from the Jing Clan of Ardent Sun City.”
Yan Pingzhi was not surprised by what Yan Qiren was saying. There was a woman from the Jing Clan, Jing Xiaoxiao, who married the Yan Clan’s Yan Yuyang.
”You mean, Yangdong went to look for the rogue cultivator on the Universal Board to get to Yan Clan’s spiritual jade pool? That wouldn’t have worked either, I remember Yangdong was only at True Lake Stage Level 5. Even if he had managed to enter the spiritual jade pool, it would still be impossible for him to get to Nihility God Stage in a mere few years, right?” Yan Pingzhi said, frowning. He knew that in order to get to the Half Moon Immortal Palace, one had to leave his spiritual will outside of the doors. That meant that even if one possessed a half moon key, he would still have to be in Nihility God Stage to be qualified to enter.
The Yan Clan always took things step by step; they never rushed. No matter how much of a genius Yan Yangdong was, he would still need two to three years to get from True Lake Stage Level 5 to True Lake Stage Level 9. Moreover, someone like Yan Yangdong had to get to True Lake Stage Level 10 before he would be allowed to progress to Nihility God Stage. This was to ensure that he would have a solid foundation. Using the Yan Clan technique, it would take at least three years to progress from True Lake Stage Level 9 to True Lake Stage Level 10.
For Yan Yangdong, this would have meant at least another six years. After six years, the Half Moon Immortal Palace would have long been opened. That was why Yan Pingzhi felt so confused.
