"What black hand?" Ling Yu was slightly stunned and asked. The old man's words confused Ling Yu, the old man had already said that the people outside the territory were looking for the key on this trip, how could they pull out a black hand?

"Legend has it that in the depths of the Sea of Innocence in the Ten Thousand Souls Star Domain, at the end of the Heavenly Extreme, there is an eternal heavenly gate, where there is the ultimate power in the world, open it, you can have the power of eternity, eternal existence. This secret was sealed in the Taiclassical books of the Huaxia Ancestral Star, and now, neither the immortals of Huaxia nor the other races in the Ten Thousand Spirits Star Domain knew of its existence. It's just that such a hidden secret, how can it be known to outsiders. So, I suspect there must be an invisible black hand behind these people, who has insight into this past and is secretly driving all this. The old man frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Then the key you just mentioned is the one that opened the Eternal Heavenly Gate?" Ling Yu asked as he recalled the purpose of the people from the extraterritorial stars who came to Huaxia that the old man had mentioned earlier.

"Yes, but I suspect that although the person behind it informed them of the existence of the Tianque Key, they did not clearly tell them what the key was!" the old man nodded and replied solemnly.

"Key...... Isn't it just the key to open the sky, what else can it be?" the old man's words made Ling Yu puzzled for a while, he pondered for a moment, and said tentatively.

"Hahaha, of course the key to the sky is not just a key. Hmph, the composition of the true Heavenly Que Key is very complicated, even in the entire Ten Thousand Spirits Star Domain, I am afraid that the number of people who know it will not exceed the number of five fingers. The old man turned his head to look at Ling Yu, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "Actually, the real key of Tianque also has a lot to do with you, and it can even be said that you are one of the keys!"

"I ...... Is it the key?senior, I still don't understand what you mean. Ling Yu felt that he had been blinded, he took a deep breath, simply took two steps, sat in front of the old man, and asked softly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the person of the Heavenly Inheritance in this life, right? I don't know if you haven't heard such a rumor, all the people of the Heavenly Inheritance will disappear for no reason when they reach the Supreme Realm of cultivation. Since the opening of the heavens by Pangu Emperor, a total of eight people of heavenly inheritance have appeared in the world, from ancient times to ancient times, and then from ancient times to ancient times, almost all the prosperous periods of the Chinese continent. But they all ended up without exception, and all disappeared inexplicably. Later, some people attributed their disappearance to some inheritance. Hmph, it's all nonsense! The reason why these people disappeared was either because they smelled some dangerous breath, so they hid, or they didn't have time to dodge, so they were secretly kidnapped, and there was no inheritance calamity at all! Moreover, the people of the Heavenly Inheritance can only be born in the Huaxia Ancestral Star and the Foreign Land, I think, this is also the reason why the black hand behind the scenes bewitched the Wanling Star Domain to invade Huaxia!" The old man clenched his fists and said in a cold voice.

Seeing that Ling Yu still had a blank expression, the old man sighed lightly and continued: "Their disappearance has a lot to do with the Heavenly Key, because the person who inherits the Heavenly Inheritance is one of the keys in itself!"

"It turns out that this is the case, no wonder every person with the Heavenly Inheritance will disappear for no reason in the Supreme Realm, there is such a reason for this. Senior, you said that the person of the Heavenly Inheritance is only one of the keys, which means that there are other keys, so what are the other keys? Are they also other people with special physiques?" Ling Yu raised the wine jar and poured a sip of the spirits, he let the spirits roar by, and asked softly.

"No, the reason why the people of the Heavenly Inheritance are called keys is because their blood is the introduction to open the Heavenly Gate, and the real one who opens the Heavenly Gate still depends on the nine keys. The old man shook his head and replied.

"Nine, where can I find them?" Ling Yu asked as he handed the liquor to the old man.

"I don't know, because there are only five keys in the Huaxia Continent, and the remaining four keys are scattered on other planets in the Ten Thousand Spirits Star Domain. Finding the five keys hidden in Huaxia requires a map, but that map has been broken and scattered everywhere since the primeval period. It's hard to find them now!" the old man sighed, took a sip of the spirits, and said in a deep voice.

"Map?" Hearing the old man's words, Ling Yu's heart moved. He took out the mysterious wooden box from the realm spirit, handed it to the old man, and asked with suppressed excitement, "Do you see this picture?"

The old man saw that Ling Yu's eyebrows were filled with joy, and hurriedly took the wooden box in his hand, and watched it fixedly, when he saw the mountains and rivers on the back of the wooden box, the old man slapped his thigh suddenly, and said loudly: "It is said that the person who is inherited by heaven is the chosen son, and the fortune is given to him, I used to disdain it, but now I believe it." Yes, this is the map with five keys, but it doesn't seem to be complete!"

"It's really incomplete, at first, there was only a quarter of the map on the wooden box, and then I got a picture scroll, and when the picture scroll came into contact with the wooden box, it automatically melted into the ancient map. That's why we see half of the map. Senior, since you said that this ancient map hides the secret of the five keys, I don't know where the five keys are shown on the map?" Ling Yu leaned in front of the ancient map and asked.

"This map is incomplete, so I can only see where the three keys are, and they should be here, here, and here!" the old man said, holding out his finger and pointing at the map.

Ling Yu looked along the place pointed by the old man and found that the three places where the keys were hidden were: Mount Tai, Xudu City, and Kunlun Xu. Ling Yu in these three places had also wondered why they were so conspicuous before, but now it seems that the ancestors pointed to them. Mount Tai is the place of Zen sealing, it is the emperor's mountain since ancient times, the city of Xudu is the entrance of hell in the world, it is the place where yin and yang meet, and Kunlun Xu, it is called the ancestor of the dragon vein of China by the ancestors. There was a Taoist sage who prophesied that Kunlun was in and Huaxia was safe. If Kunlun is sick, Huaxia is not guaranteed. The key of the heavenly que is hidden in these three places, which is also reasonable.

Seeing that Ling Yu was fascinated, the old man continued: "In the human realm, I am afraid that there are only two keys to the Heavenly Que, they are in Mount Tai and Kunlun Xu, and although the capital city is the capital of the human realm, half of it belongs to the Netherworld Ghost Domain. So, if I'm guessing correctly, that key should be in the underworld. As for where in the underworld, there is no hint above, and I don't know. ”

"Since that group of people are here for the Celestial Key, and they don't know what the Celestial Key is, this gives us plenty of time, and I must find the nine Celestial Keys before them and gain the initiative. The ambition of the people and wolves of the extraterritorial stars, if they are allowed to seize the key of the Heavenly Que and obtain the power of eternity, I am afraid that Huaxia will suffer!" Ling Yu said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

"If everyone has this kind of thought, why worry about the lack of prosperity in China! Alas, when people from outside the territory come to China, I am afraid that many forces will become inflamed against them, and the pattern of China may soon change. But don't worry about what you want to do, we will deal with that group of people, as long as we are here, they can't be presumptuous in Huaxia Ancestral Star!"

"Do you seniors still have helpers?" Hearing the old man's words, Ling Yu was slightly stunned and asked softly.

"Of course, some of my old friends, some are sleeping, some are in retreat, and now that they have cultivated to their level, how can they not sense that there is an alien race approaching outside the Huaxia Ancestral Star. It's just that they all have their own things to do, and now that I'm awake, let me ask them to go out of the mountain. The old man looked up at the sky, a trace of remembrance flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.

"Senior, in fact, I've always wanted to ask, what is your identity? Since you know the Huaxia Continent so well, and you have the heart to protect Huaxia, you shouldn't be an ordinary cultivator, right? And what exactly is depicted on that picture scroll? Is there any meaning?" Ling Yu poured the last sip of wine into his stomach and asked softly.

"You'll know my identity sooner or later, so why bother with it now. As for the ancient map on the wooden box, it was a legendary ancient road, and that road should lead to ......" The old man narrowed his eyes, wanting to inform Ling Yu of his guess.

It's just that before he finished his words, on the sky above the Escape Mountain, a divine thunder suddenly fell, the divine thunder was three zhang thick, flashing with blue lightning, and thundered towards the old man.

In the face of this thunderbolt in the clear sky, the old man suddenly got up, and the coercion like an immortal was instantly released. Fortunately, his coercion was aimed at the lightning punishment that day, otherwise, Ling Yu would definitely be crushed into ashes by this coercion.

I saw the old man raise his right hand, and a broken spear of a simple shape appeared in his hand. The spear was about six feet long, with a thin forearm and a bladeless spearhead, like an iron rod. When the old man raised the spear, a faint ripple rippled from the spearhead, facing the divine thunder. When the divine thunder touched the ripples, it made a slight "buzzing" sound. Then, as if purified by the ripples, the lightning became thinner and thinner, and finally disappeared.

After the divine thunder, the old man shook his head and said to Ling Yu: "There are some things that you can only find the answer to by yourself, just like now, if any of my words involves the heavenly machine, it will violate some cause and effect, and then there will be a heavenly way to obstruct it." Alas, this world is a cage after all, life is short, and we will never be able to understand the truth of Hongchen. What about becoming an immortal, what about immortality!"

Then, as if he remembered something, the old man turned his head to Ling Yu and asked, "The origin of this wooden box is mysterious, as far as I know, it should have been the artifact that held the primordial stone before?" Now that the wooden box is in your hand, presumably that ancient sword should also be on you, right?"

Hearing the old man's words, Ling Yu's heart moved. The matter of the broken sword was only known to Mr. Beiyu and the demon clans, how could the old man know about it?

Seeing Ling Yu's hesitation, the old man patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, I just want to tell you that that ancient sword is not simple, you have to make good use of it." When the Pangu Emperor opened the world, he found a primordial stone and forged it into a sword and a realm spirit ring. Emperor Pangu knew that there was a deficiency in the Heavenly Dao, so he deliberately cast the sword into a broken sword. And that ring is actually on you now. They are all artifacts from the time when heaven and earth were not born, and I hope you will make good use of them for the benefit of the common people!"

Seeing the old man squint his eyes and aim at his left hand, Ling Yu scratched his head and nodded lightly. It turned out that the old man had already understood the secret of the realm and the remnant, which made Ling Yu admire the mysterious old man in front of him even more.

However, just as Ling Yu wanted to speak again, a trace of fierceness suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Ding Wai, and said softly, "Someone has come in!"
