Suddenly, Han Sen's eyes brightened. He seemed to have thought of something.
Sky Palace Leader smiled at Han Sen and said, "Tell me what you want. I consider your teacher Yisha a student, and you are my student. Don't be shy. Just tell me what you want."
"Mister Leader, I am not asking for a reward, but I have recently learned Suppress Evil. This geno art is very deep, so I hope you can teach me a thing or two so I can learn Suppress Evil." Han Sen bowed.
Sky Palace Leader was shocked. He hadn't expected Han Sen to make such a request. It was an easy request, but it wasn't easy at all, either.
Han Sen had only asked him to teach Suppress Evil, but to what extent would he be able to teach?
Not even the Kings of Sky Palace had been able to learn Suppress Evil to the eleventh tier. If that was the case, Sky Palace Leader would have to teach him for a very long time.
But he was the leader of a palace, and Han Sen had only asked him to teach him a single geno art. If he couldn't teach him a single geno art, that didn't seem right.
After a moment of silence, Sky Palace Leader said, "Suppress Evil is one of Sky Palace's secret skills. It is very complicated, and you cannot learn it in a day or two. But I have a way to learn it quickly. It will be dangerous, though. Would you like to give it a try?"
Han Sen frowned. Sky Palace Leader was kicking the ball back to him.
He said it would be dangerous, but he didn't say how dangerous it was. If Han Sen didn't want to go, then he couldn't blame him for not teaching him.
But if Han Sen agreed, he didn't know how dangerous it would be, and he didn't know if he could handle it.
After a moment of silence, Han Sen gritted his teeth and bowed. "I am willing to give it a try."
"Good. It is no wonder you are Yisha's student. I like you very much. Go back and prepare. Come to Hidden Path Island tomorrow morning." Sky Palace Leader waved his hand and gestured for Han Sen to leave.
Han Sen bowed and left Sky Palace. On his way back, he wondered why Sky Palace Leader had asked him to go to Hidden Path Island.
Han Sen knew that Hidden Path Island was one of the forbidden areas of Sky Palace. Without the permission of the leader, students were not allowed to enter the island. So, he couldn't find any information about the island. He would have to wait until the next day to learn more.
But Han Sen had thought about it. Sky Palace Leader wouldn't harm him. At most, he would suffer a little. If he could learn Suppress Evil in a short amount of time, even if he could only reach the fifth or sixth tier, that would be fine.
That geno art was too complicated. If he practiced it step by step, even Han Sen would have to practice it for a few years before he could see any results.
Before going to Hidden Way Island, Han Sen invited Phyllostachys Longipes, Thousand Feather Crane, and the Yun sisters for a gathering. He also asked around about Hidden Way Island.
When Yun Sushang and the others heard that Sky Palace Leader wanted Han Sen to go to Hidden Way Island, they were shocked.
Yun Suyi said, "Hidden Way Island is not a place ordinary students can go. Only Kings go there when they need to break through. I have heard that it is very dangerous there. Many Kings have failed to break through there, and they have ended up with serious injuries. I don't know why Sky Palace Leader wants you to go there."
The few of them told Han Sen about Hidden Way Island, but they didn't know much. They only knew it was a place for Kings to practice and break through.
The Kings who went there either became half-deified or came out injured. It was very dangerous, and no one below King class had ever gone there before.
Thousand Feather Crane thought for a moment and said, "We don't have to worry too much. Sky Palace Leader wouldn't harm Han Sen. He must have his reasons for asking Han Sen to go to Hidden Way Island."
Han Sen thought so, too. If Sky Palace Leader wanted to harm him, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.
The next morning, Han Sen took Bao 'er with him to Hidden Way Island. When they reached the island, they saw Sky Palace Leader standing at the peak of a mountain. He smiled and waved at Han Sen like a god.
"Greetings, Sky Palace Leader." Han Sen rode his legless crane to the top of the mountain. He bowed before Sky Palace Leader.
Sky Palace Leader waved his hand and said, "This staircase leads to Hidden Way Cave. Follow it down. How much you can gain will depend on your own luck."
Han Sen was shocked. He didn't want to go down. He blinked and asked, "Mister Sky Palace Leader, aren't you going to teach me?"
"Suppress Evil is not ordinary. Even if I am willing to teach you, you won't be able to improve much in a short amount of time. But this place is different. You will know once you go in. If you are smart enough, you can improve Suppress Evil quickly. You can break through a few tiers in a short amount of time." Sky Palace Leader smiled at Han Sen.
"I have heard this is where Kings break through. I am just an Earl. I don't think I can enjoy it." Han Sen didn't want to go in.
"It's not too late for you to give up," Sky Palace Leader said with a smile.
Han Sen gritted his teeth and began to descend the stairs. The stairs spiraled downwards, and as far as the eye could see, they led to the deepest part of the mountain. It was like a bottomless pit that led straight to hell.
Furthermore, the endless spiral staircase made people feel dizzy just by looking at it.
Han Sen looked outside and saw Sky Palace Leader standing at the exit. He was smiling at him.
Han Sen couldn't go back like this, so he kept going. Bao 'er sat on his shoulder, looking around with curiosity.
Aside from the spiral staircase, there was nothing else. Han Sen followed the staircase and went deeper into the bottomless pit.
He didn't know how many steps he had taken, but Han Sen suddenly saw a stone door appear on the wall. There were a few numbers carved into the door's brow.
"00001, what does this number mean?
Are there ten thousand more stone doors down there?
What is on the other side of the door? "Han Sen frowned.
While Han Sen was thinking, he suddenly heard a noise come from behind the stone door. It opened on its own.
At the entrance of Hidden Path Cave, a woman with a black mask appeared next to Sky Palace Leader. Sky Palace Leader looked into Hidden Path Cave, then turned around and said to the woman, "This is your territory. Keep an eye on him. Don't let him die."
"You brought him in, so you are responsible. I only care about the small ones. I don't care about the big ones." After that, the woman with the black mask walked into Hidden Path Cave.
Sky Palace Leader smiled at the woman's back. He stepped forward, and a cloud appeared beneath his feet. He left Hidden Path Island in the blink of an eye. He returned to Sky Palace's back garden.
