“Master, what kind of place is it exactly?”

Yang Qian Ye was excited, but he was also confused. It was hard for him to imagine that such a place existed. Apart from improving one’s laws and cultivation base, it could also improve one’s talent and comprehension skills?

Yuan Han Jin looked at Yang Qian Ye with a profound gaze and asked, “Do you think it sounds miraculous as well?”

“Yes.” Yang Qian Ye nodded. He really found it hard to believe that such a miraculous place existed. After all, even Supreme Gods might not have the ability to improve another person’s talent and comprehension skills, let alone Emperors of Gods.

Perhaps, a Supreme God was capable of creating such a magical place if he had a special treasure.

Yuan Han Jin shook his head and said, “In the beginning, I found it unbelievable as well. However, through your seniors and the experiments they conducted, I confirmed it. Over the years, I managed to find ancient books about it. That place has a history dating back to 100,000 years ago, a few hundred thousand years ago, and even millions of years ago! Who knew it might even date back to much earlier than that. A few years ago, I obtained a damaged ancient record. Some of its content was gone, but what I managed to read made me suspect that the place is…”

Yuan Han Jin’s breathing quickened when he spoke about this.

“The place is?” Yang Qian Ye asked curiously. His anticipation grew as he drew closer and closer to the reveal.

Yuan Han Jin looked at Yang Qian Ye before he tossed out a Formation compass.

After that, several isolation and noise-canceling Formations appeared around them.

Yang Qian Ye’s expression turned solemn when he saw the Formations. He knew the matter had to be extremely confidential for his master to set up the Formations. They were on Ping Sheng Island. This place was the territory of his master’s adopted father. The members here were his master’s seniors and juniors. The fact that his master was so cautious in his own territory showed how grave the matter was.

After laying the Formations, Yuan Han Jin said clearly, “I suspect the place is a Supreme Divine Mansion.”

Yang Qian Ye was shocked by these four words. He knew about the supreme powerhouses. He also knew about prime divine artifacts, which were upgraded from prominent divine artifacts after they were nourished by the auras of supreme powerhouses for many years. It was also rumored that a prominent divine artifact had to possess an artifact soul before it could turn into a prime divine artifact. However, this was his first time hearing about the Supreme Divine Mansion. Even then, he had a strong feeling it was related to supreme powerhouses.

Yang Qian Ye took a deep breath before he asked, “Master, does the Supreme Divine Mansion has something to do with a supreme powerhouse?”

If that place was created by a supreme powerhouse, there was no doubt it would be extraordinary. It would make sense how that place could raise one’s talent and comprehension skills.

Supreme powerhouses were the most powerful beings, especially the over a dozen supreme powerhouses who controlled the Realms of Gods. Since the Realms of Gods were like Little Worlds created by supreme powerhouses, it stood to reason that the Realms of Gods were under the complete control of the supreme powerhouses who created them.

Yuan Huan Jin replied slowly, “Yes. The place is not a place, but an artifact. It’s an artifact forged by supreme powerhouses using all kinds of rare treasures. It’s not an offensive or defensive weapon, and it only serves to cultivate the younger generation. Due to its effect that can raise one’s talents and comprehension skills, it has the ability to change one’s fate! Supreme Divine Mansions are generally created by supreme powerhouses for their descendants.”

Yang Qian Ye could barely contain his excitement, and his breathing quickened. He asked, “Master, if the supreme places created those places for their descendants, why are they so dangerous? It doesn’t make sense…”

In Yang Qian Ye’s opinion, he would not have left such a dangerous place to his descendants if he were a supreme powerhouse. That place was so deadly that all his senior brothers and senior sisters died there.

A hint of approval and joy could be seen on Yuan Han Jin’s face when he heard Yang Qian Ye’s question. He said, “Since you’re able to think of this, it means that you’re not blinded by temptation and that you still retain your common sense. You’re right. A supreme powerhouse who created a Supreme Divine Mansion for his descendants definitely would not leave such a dangerous place to his descendants. However, after creating a Supreme Divine Mansion, all supreme powerhouses will place a restriction on it. The creator’s death would trigger the restriction. This is to ensure other supreme powerhouses would not be able to steal the Supreme Divine Mansion. As you know, when a supreme powerhouse dies, his descendants will perish as well. Hence, the restriction wouldn’t affect the descendants at all.”

Yuan Han Jin paused for a beat before he continued to say, “Hence, Supreme Divine Mansions with triggered restrictions are just like a death trap. The place I found is such a place. Its restriction has been triggered, and its energy is continuously depleting. Although that place is deadly, as long as one has enough determination and can endure pain and suffering, one will reap the benefits. Alas, there are very few people with such characteristics. As for the descendants of other supreme powerhouses, the supreme powerhouses would definitely not allow them to take such great risks. It makes more sense for them to create their own Supreme Divine Mansions for their descendants. When a supreme powerhouse kills another supreme powerhouse, he’ll discard the Supreme Divine Mansion if there’s a restriction on it since it’s useless. I suspect the supreme powerhouse who controls our Profound Energy Land is the one who placed the Supreme Divine Mansion here. It’s likely that he found it and decided to place it here. He likely thought it would be great if the people here could benefit from it, and he also did not care if the people here died because of it. After all, it’s not his direct descendants who are risking their lives…”

“The danger is great, but the reward is also great. It’s truly a pity that your seniors didn’t survive in the end,” Yuan Han Jin said with a sigh, “Supreme Divine Mansions aren’t easy to forge. Their value far surpasses that of prominent divine artifacts with artifact souls. The Supreme Divine Mansion I found is already in a state of decline. Its energy has drained so much that it can only accommodate those at or below the stage of a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Based on what I know, a newly-forged Supreme Divine Mansion should be able to accommodate those at or below the stage of an Emperor of Gods.”

Yang Qian Ye had a better understanding of the Supreme Divine Mansion after listening to Yuan Han Jin. He knew the Supreme Divine Mansion was deadly, but the reward would be unimaginable if he managed to survive.

“I’ve already told you everything I know. As for what you want to do with it, I’ll leave it up to you. However, even if you decided against going to that place, I hope you won’t reveal it to anyone else,” Yuan Han Jin said. His gaze turned pointed when he reached the end of his words.

“Apart from that, if you decide to enter, you have to ask yourself if your will is strong enough. Are you really prepared to die? Are you really that desperate?” Yuan Han Jin added. His voice took on a serious tone.

Yang Qian Ye fell silent when he heard his master’s words.

“You may leave,” Yuan Han Jin said with a sigh, “In fact, I’d rather my disciples not go to such a place. It’s already in such a state of decline. In a few years, perhaps, it could not even accommodate rudimentary Lords of Gods anymore. It won’t be long before it crumbles completely…”

Although Yuan Han Jin was just muttering to himself, Yang Qian Ye heard his words.

Finally, Yang Qian Ye said, “I’ll take my leave first.”

Even after Yang Qian Ye left, he could not calm down for a long time. After all, that place was a Supreme Divine Mansion, an artifact forged by a supreme powerhouse with the ability to change a person’s fate. However, when he thought about the possibility of dying and his seniors who died in there, his heart was shaken. Although he wanted to avenge his two good friends and the elders from the 10,000 Devils Sect, he was not prepared to risk his life to do so.

While Yang Qian Ye traveled back from his master’s cultivation ground to his cultivation ground, he thought to himself, ‘I’m afraid I’m not willing to risk my life to kill Duan Ling Tian just to avenge them… Am I really just going to give up because of my cowardice?’

…

After Yang Qian Ye left, an icy expression appeared on Yuan Han Jin’s face. He muttered to himself, “Perhaps, I’ll be able to try again. One last time. I’ll try one last time. Although this disciple’s talent and comprehension skills aren’t as high as the previous ones, his tenacity is far stronger. It’s just that the hatred in his heart… isn’t strong enough.”
