"You actually recognize this sword?" Chu Feng asked.
"How could we not recognize it? That's the Demon-Slaying Emperor's Demon-Slaying Sword!"
"Wait a minute, how did you get the Demon-Slaying Sword? Could it be… you obtained the inheritance?"
"Tell us quickly, what kind of treasures did you actually get?"
The Sages of the Secret Caves suddenly realized what was going on, and their eyes lit up as they looked at Chu Feng.
"I did indeed obtain them."
Chu Feng didn't hide anything. He told the Sages of the Secret Caves about every treasure he had acquired.
This included the gem that gave Chu Feng the chance to break through to the Dragon Pattern-level Sacred Cloak Spirit World Master.
He even told them that the true treasure of the Demon-Slaying Emperor was hidden in another location, and that this Demon-Slaying Sword was the key to opening that tomb — he held nothing back.
"Oh my heavens, that's way too exciting?"
"So it's hidden in yet another tomb? Truly worthy of the Demon-Slaying Emperor — to plan things this meticulously, and requiring a Martial Emperor realm cultivator to open it. That treasure must be incredibly powerful."
"The real inheritance — that's where the true inheritance lies."
"Brother Shura, congratulations!"
The Sages of the Secret Caves said to Chu Feng.
They were extremely excited, but their excitement was on Chu Feng's behalf.
"If you're willing, we can go open that tomb together," Chu Feng said.
"No, no, no."
"Don't, don't, definitely don't. You should go by yourself."
The Sages of the Secret Caves shook their heads repeatedly.
To Chu Feng's surprise, they seemed particularly resistant to his suggestion.
"What, you don't even have the confidence to step into the Martial Emperor realm?"
"If you lack even that kind of confidence, what will you use to seek your revenge?" Chu Feng asked.
"It's not that we lack confidence. It's that this belongs to you."
"That's right. The Demon-Slaying Emperor is our benefactor, and he designated you as his successor. Everything should belong to you. We won't fight you for it, nor do we have the right to fight you for it."
"Brother Shura, that gem is inside your body now, and only you can use it. I know you might feel somewhat guilty, since our original goal was that treasure."
"But actually, you don't need to feel that way, because we've gained something far more important."
The leader of the Sages of the Secret Caves said.
"Something far more important? What is that?" Chu Feng asked.
"You. We've gained a brother."
The Sages of the Secret Caves grinned widely, beaming with delight.
"Haha, if that's the case, then I've also gained a brother."
"No, I haven't gained just one — I've gained eleven."
Chu Feng laughed along with them.
After that, they began planning for their joint venture to the Gate of All Realms two months later.
Although Chu Feng, as a junior, already had the qualifications to enter the treasure's world, they had to consider that when that treasure was opened, not only would the Gate of Allrealms' experts be present, but so would the experts from the other five starfields.
They needed to come up with a foolproof plan.
The difficulty this time far exceeded stealing the Demon-Slaying Emperor's tomb.
After all, what they intended to do next was to seize that treasure right under the noses of the Gate of All Realms' sect master and the rulers of the five great starfields.
And once this was done, Chu Feng wouldn't only have offended the Gate of All Realms — he would also have earned the enmity of the other five starfields.
But even so, Chu Feng decided to go through with it.
Not merely because the Gate of All Realms was his enemy, but also because Chu Feng wanted to know what kind of treasure could command such importance from the Gate of All Realms and the five great starfields.
As for the plan, the Sages of the Secret Caves had actually already worked one out.
They only needed to act together two months later. As for the rest, Chu Feng didn't need to worry — the Sages of the Secret Caves would handle it.
So, once this matter was settled, Chu Feng also shared his current intentions with the Sages of the Secret Caves.
Chu Feng wanted to go down into the ancient cave beneath the Demon-Slaying Emperor's tomb — the one where ancient creatures lived.
"What? You want to go to the cave of the ancient creatures? Have you lost your mind?"
