"Is this a stele?" Xu Ping’an asked in astonishment.
He felt the terrifying Dao Laws emanating from the stele, even Xu Ping’an felt his heart palpitate.
The Dao Laws on this stele were indeed too terrifying, definitely not something a cultivator at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm could possess.
Even the Temporal Dao Principles he had acquired previously were far less oppressive than this.
"This Dao Law, could it be a Divine Principle?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.
"You guessed right, it is indeed a Divine Principle, though it is just a nascent one, and now it belongs to you," the old man said with a smile, handing the stele over to Xu Ping’an.
The stele shrank to the size of a palm, now hovering in front of Xu Ping’an.
Looking at the stele before him, Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised.
This stele was definitely a powerful Divine Artifact, and it even contained potent Divine Principle.
If he mastered this stele, could he not rival a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor Realm?
"Is this also a treasure from the inheritance?" Xu Ping’an asked.
"Correct, this is just a trivial item in the inheritance. The true inheritance is far more than this. Follow me," the old man said smilingly.

Having said that, he led Xu Ping’an into the interior of the divine temple.
A stone door appeared on the temple wall.
Xu Ping’an followed the old man inside, only to discover a whole other world within.
Inside was an immensely vast space, like a small world.
A huge mountain range appeared before Xu Ping’an, lush and dotted with cascading waterfalls.
It stretched as far as the eye could see, with no visible end.
"There’s actually a small world inside here?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.
"Yes, this is the secret realm of the Artifact Divine Sect called the Cang Mountain Realm, where all the treasures of the Artifact Divine Sect are kept," the old man said with a smile.
"Cang Mountain Realm?" Xu Ping’an gazed at the world before him.
He noted that this small world seemed different from the other small worlds he had seen before.
Here, he felt an extremely majestic energy, seemingly much more advanced than spiritual energy.
Xu Ping’an tried circulating his cultivation techniques, immediately finding a huge improvement in his cultivation.
"What kind of power is this that has enhanced my strength so greatly?" Xu Ping’an asked in astonishment.
He had only absorbed a bit, yet he felt much more energized.
This would definitely not be possible with just spiritual energy.
Seeing the astonishment on Xu Ping’an’s face, the old man smiled and said, "You’ve noticed, indeed. This is not spiritual energy but Divine Qi, the power contained here is almost the same as in the Divine Realm."
"Divine Qi?" Xu Ping’an was amazed.
Wasn’t Divine Qi only found in the Divine Realm? It was not supposed to exist in the realms of immortals and mortals.
Could it be?
"That’s right, this space comes from the Divine Realm, so everything here, including the gravity, the soil, and the trees, is from the Divine Realm," the old man continued with a smile.
Xu Ping’an was astonished, this small world was actually from the Divine Realm.
This was his first encounter with something from the Divine Realm.
Before, his knowledge of the Divine Realm was only from ancient books.
Now, unexpectedly, he was standing in a space from the Divine Realm.
"The gravity here must be a thousand times that of the outside world, if a cultivator below the Seventh Rank were here, they might not even be able to stand," Xu Ping’an noted the gravity and spoke.
The soil and mountains here were many times harder than those in the Spirit Realm.
"Elder, you mentioned before that the inheritance I received is this small world, the inheritance of the Artifact Divine Sect, but where is the inheritance?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
"Haha, you really are eager. Yes, this small world is the inheritance site built by the Artifact Divine Sect at a tremendous cost, gathering countless resources of the Artifact Divine Sect. Do you know, a thousand years pass here for every year that passes outside?" the old man explained with a laugh.
"What? A thousand-fold difference in the flow of time?" Xu Ping’an asked, incredibly surprised.
"Yes, a thousand-fold difference in time flow. You also cultivate Temporal Dao Principles, so you should know what kind of strength and sacrifices are needed to create such a stable space with time differences," the old man said, laughing.
Xu Ping’an was profoundly shocked.
His current mastery of Temporal Dao Principles could at most affect the flow of time for a moment.
And that too was extremely minimal.
To think of a thousand-fold influence on time flow, this was truly beyond belief.
And to maintain such stable time flow differences, it seemed an impossible feat.
Xu Ping’an could hardly imagine how the cultivators of the Artifact Divine Sect managed to achieve this.
"Besides, all the Inheritance Scriptures and resources of the Artifact Divine Sect are in this Cang Mountain Realm; now they all belong to you, and I am the steward of the Cang Mountain Realm," the old man said with a smile.
After he waved his hand, Xu Ping’an suddenly found himself on a mountain peak.
Before him stood an immensely large hall that seemed to contain innumerable treasures.
