Chapter 541: Universe Secret Treasure – Immortal Monument
"It's normal that you don't know. After all, the news that I am Little Brother, the Lord of the Jin Kingdom, is top secret. Outsiders aren't supposed to know," the old man Wuming looked at Gu Chuan indifferently.
"Forget it. You said it yourself—whether the message is true or false, what does it matter if the Lord of Disguise replaced the original King of Jin? What does that have to do with me? Things like this happen all the time on the Continent of Origin. It's even common for entire kingdoms to fall."
Gu Chuan didn't want to get involved in such complicated matters. Even if the Lord of Disguise had taken over the throne, he was still a High Lord of the Universe, and thus an extremely terrifying existence.
"I understand how you feel," Wuming said with a faint smile. "You're just worried that sneaking into the Jin Palace might be dangerous. But in truth, there's no need to worry. The Lord of Disguise participated in the ruins exploration and was seriously injured. His wounds haven't healed, and he's still in a state of recovery.
Even if you sneak in now, he likely won't detect your presence. As long as you're careful, he won't even realize anything has happened."
"If it's that simple, then why don't you go into the Jin Palace yourself? Why ask me to do it?" Gu Chuan shot back.
"That's because the Lord of Disguise has taken extra precautions against me. He set up countless forbidden formations inside the palace specifically to detect me. The moment I get close, I'll be exposed," the old man said, his tone calm.
"Even so, the Immortal Monument isn't something you can just take. It's a movement-type treasure of the King of Jin. It's long been refined—do you think it's that easy to steal?"
Gu Chuan shook his head.
"There's nothing to worry about," Wuming said with another faint smile. "Yes, the Immortal Monument is a movement-type treasure, but it doesn't belong to the Lord of Disguise. It has its own spirit and can sense its true master. Even if the Lord of Disguise took the King's place, the treasure won't acknowledge him.
That's why, even though he's possessed the Immortal Monument for years, he still hasn't managed to refine it. It just sits there inside the Jin Palace."
