Chapter 1495: Chapter 796. Master, what is inside?
Chapter 796
“Master, is this what you wanted to talk about?” Di Minghan looked at Di Chen and asked.
“No, follow me,” Di Chen responded solemnly.
Di Minghan rarely saw Di Chen so serious, which piqued his curiosity, but he didn’t ask further questions. He followed behind Di Chen, and before long, the two of them arrived outside a Mountain Gate…
Di Chen glanced at the Mountain Gate ahead and said, “Do you still remember this place? Do you still remember the words I once said to you?”
Di Minghan gazed at the Mountain Gate before him and recalled that it was during his childhood, not long after he had bowed before Di Chen as his Master. Perhaps because he was young and a boy, even though he was naturally reserved, he couldn’t help his childish curiosity…
One night, after finishing his cultivation, he came here, feeling as though something was hidden within this place. So, he ran up to the gate, attempting to open it and venture inside to take a look…
But no matter how hard he worked at it for half a day, he couldn’t open the Mountain Gate. His stubborn nature wouldn’t let him give up, especially not on something that resisted him…
So, he tried every method he could think of, one by one throwing all the Treasures given to him by those old fellows of the Di Clan at the Mountain Gate, with his sole goal of prying it open to see what was inside…
By the time the coolness of dawn began to seep in, he was sitting on the ground panting with exhaustion, glaring at the still tightly sealed Mountain Gate. Not long after, he saw his Master emerging from inside…
He was utterly amazed at the time, but his Master had looked extremely fatigued that day, as though he had just done something taxing that drained his physical strength…
In that moment, he even forgot to look inside the Mountain Gate to see what his Master had come out of…
It was then that Di Chen had told him that behind this Mountain Gate was a Detention Chamber, a place capable of imprisoning beings as powerful as gods. The reason Di Chen had been so exhausted was that a crack had appeared in the Array Formation sealing the chamber, and he had spent half of his lifetime’s skill to repair it…
At the time, Di Minghan didn’t understand his Master’s actions at all. He thought to himself that there were no gods in the Haotian Continent, and even if there were, gods were so powerful—how could they possibly be captured and imprisoned? Why should his Master expend so much skill to mend a mere crack in the Array Formation? It seemed truly unnecessary…
But Di Chen had insisted that it was his duty. If something went wrong with the Detention Chamber, the entire Haotian Continent might face catastrophe, and countless lives could be lost…
Young Di Minghan had been completely unable to comprehend his Master’s words and didn’t give them much thought, but he did know about this secret. Thinking back now, Di Minghan stared at the Mountain Gate ahead and noticed that it truly looked different from before. Even standing here, he could feel two immensely powerful auras emanating from within—so powerful that they stifled his very breath. Could it be that inside…
“Master, what’s inside?” Di Minghan asked Di Chen suspiciously.
“Ahan, you must prepare yourself mentally,” Di Chen said with a deeply solemn expression.
Di Minghan furrowed his eyebrows but remained silent, an uneasy premonition settling over him. From his Master’s expression, he speculated that the people inside might be connected to him somehow. Could it be that something had happened to Jiuli and Baobao? As the thought struck him, his heart clenched, and he anxiously watched Di Chen as he waved his hand to open the Light Curtain sealing the Mountain Gate…
When he saw that inside were two adults with their heads bowed—not Jiuli and Baobao—Di Minghan let out a small sigh of relief. However, as soon as those two figures lifted their heads, Di Minghan found himself completely petrified…
