Just right behind some epic grade artifacts, there laid a...key!
The key seemed to have existed for thousands of years, calling it a rusted metal would be an understatement.
Yet his pupils noticed something different entirely, within the key. They laid intricate diagrams, and there was a circlic dot just right at the centre of this various intricate diagrams. He felt something...one which he was no doubt used to.
It was just like the feeling which he got when he made use of blink...that was the same feeling the circlic dot was giving him. Except it was on a more larger scale...yet such a thing should have been easily discovered by the Academy...
Right?
Einstein questioned himself, as he found it weird as to how the Academy couldn't identify such a useful artifact...and just kept it away without any care. It just didn't make sense to him...
[Congratulations Host. You have discovered the planar key to an Ancient Secret plane...]
The voice of the system resounded within his mind.
His eyes got narrowed as he muttered.
*Hmm, secret plane...planar key...what are those.*
[Host just needs to know that this kind of things can be divided into three aspect...though they exist more. But for the host current mediocre level...the system would only be talking about three.]
"Oh- mediocre. I guess I am." Einstein gave a light chuckle as the system's voice resounded within his mind.
[Host doesn't need to belittle yourself...you have no idea of just what you are capable of... You have no idea at all...]
Einstein let out a light laughter, as a wide grin spread across his face.
"If you say so..."
*So what are the three stuffs.*
[First of all, the one which most of the cultivators should be familiar with...A RUIN!
As for what a ruin is, a ruin is mostly the remains of a destroyed civilization, basically the remains, treasures, artifacts and even the dangers left behind by a dead civilization.
Basically anyone can enter a ruin, though there is usually a limit of cultivation stage.
And anyone beyond that cultivation stage that tries to enter such a ruin...will result to the forcibly detonation of the ruin...though if more powerful than even the strongest experts of this destroyed civilization. Then there's no problem breaking into it. But host can worry less about this. It would be hard to see anyone who can forcibly break into even the lowest level of ruins...
Then apart from Ruin, they exist what they call Heavenly/A World's Hidden domain. This is a kind of hidden domain formed by the will of a world, also known as the World's will or in very rare cases, the will of the Heavenly Lord also known as the Heavenly Will!
Also, this one is much more stringent with its' choice, it mostly chooses those with a good heart, though even if you don't have a good heart, as long as you have shown great talents through your cultivation journey within the world; that's even if the world does have a will.
As the system was saying, provided you have shown great talent, the chances of being picked by the Heavenly will of the world to enter its' hidden domain is very much likely, yet this usually takes place if a world is facing imminent threat and even when a world is facing imminent threat...a heavenly hidden domain might not appear or be opened...
*And why is that the case. Since the destruction of the world would affect the will of the world too. I see no reason why it wouldn't offer a helping hand.*
[Host really thinks it's easy to open a heavenly hidden domain. Even the...anyways to open a heavenly hidden domain. The origin energy needed to open it is very much astronomical. Not something some low level planet, galaxy or even universe might have. Mostly, the origin energy concentration of a place is sometimes based on luck. Which is why even when facing imminent threat, if the world doesn't have enough origin energy. There's nothing the will of the world can do to open its' hidden heavenly domain.]
*I see...* Einstein mused as he nod his head in understanding.
*It all now makes sense...so what's the third one.*
He said, before he further added.
"It most probably has to do with this planar key and secret plane stuff..."
[Yes, glad the host isn't a dumbass. The host is exactly right on point, the third is a Secret Plane. And as for what a secret plane is. The host can regard it as a sort of inheritance; mostly either for the younger generations of a powerful race, which is mostly a race that has powerful ancestors and bloodline purity of over 70 percent. Yet that doesn't mean that some races with less powerful ancestors or bloodline purity can't have a secret plane.
A secret plane is simply the last effort of a powerful expert, well not exactly powerful from the system perspective, but from the host perspective. They can be seen as some sort of god! Anyways as the system was saying earlier on...the expert upon realizing the imminent threat on his life, might choose to create a secret plane...while some experts create a secret plane even before they realize any threat against their lives. So it can be either of the two or even some other more choices...but one thing is common in all secret planes.
Without its' planar key; without being lucky enough to encounter one. You can never appear within the secret plane...since you won't even be able to locate its whereabout, not until the secret planar portal or more powerful wormhole appears before a powerful expert...perhaps only then can one pinpoint its' exact location and forcibly break into it...]
The system ended its long and important speech.
As Einstein kept quiet for some few seconds...digesting every single piece of information.
He finally had a wide grin on his face as he spoke.
"Seems that my luck is quite extraordinary."
[Extraordinary my ass, there could be thousands, tens of thousands, hundred of thousands or even a million others who are lucky enough to get the secret planar key. Therefore, the host luck is shit...and baseless. Not to even talk of the fact that without your pupil ability. Even if your luck is improved by a million times, you might never see a secret planar key...]
Einstein bursted into a wave of laughter.
As the voice of the system resounded within his mind.
[Why is the host laughing.]
'oh- interesting...I thought it could always read my mind.'
"I just realized that you have an ass...so of course I will be quite surprised and perplexed...since I am staring at you right now...but the ass is no where to be seen."
He teased, with a wide grin on his face.
[Which staring at me. I am not even before the Host.]
The system's voice resounded within Einstein's mind, before it further added.
[And who the hell said I have an ass. I am a system Host. A system doesn't have a humanoid body...talkless of having a pathetic ass...]
"Okay, if you say so..." He paused for a second before he further added.
"All I do know is you have an ass. And you are a tight-ass system." He replied with a wide grin that reached up to his ears before letting out a light chuckle as he grasped the secret planar key in his hands... Immediately leaving the treasure room.
As the guardian guiding the treasure house immediately closed the door.
And then...Einstein rapidly dissapeared into the distance.
'If my plan really succeeded. Then he should have already made it to my dorm.'
He had a wide grin on his face, as his speed suddenly increased.
And then...he slowly vanished from the sight of the old guardian...
