Since Divinre is a Great Saint and the guardian of this medicinal garden, Cole knew that most of his secrets is already exposed to the other party, mostly those he showed outside. He was even protected by the other party even when he acquire the supposedly birth, heavenly gift, given talent like martial soul and special constitution.

Thinking of that, he hesitate no more and directly send both the thousand year old Spirit Gathering Tree and True Dragon Spirit Vine to the [Inner World] using the Summoning Grimoire's [Transfer] skill.

Divinre, the kind looking old man, remain on his spot, his eyes closed as though he's been sleeping the whole and do not see what just Cole did.

However, Cole knew that he's been watched all the time. He won't be able to hide anything to a Great Saint and a diviner one at that. He can even the see the unknown future much less the scene from absolute past.

If the other party is a greedy one, he could very much enslave Cole since he wasn't binded with any oath on Ancient Contract of Damnation.

Since he's still a free man until now, it proved that Divinre wasn't the one he fear of.

Internally assured, Cole the started to check the surrounding.

The spirit lake truly is a massive one. Still, through Cole's powerful eyesight, he could see and feel the entirety of the place.

And except for the spirit lake... There wasn't any other exceptional things inside.

Since this was the core, hidden and tightly protected place, he kind of expected many other things. For instance, more high-quality rare herbs that was one of the asset of a great alchemist.

Heck, even the inheritance he expected can't be seen anywhere. In fact, he can't see even a shadow of alchemist's pill cauldron.

It was only then it dawn to Cole that this place is purely a medicinal garden. Its former owner don't even make a place where she could refine pills.

"Look no more. This place is purely a medicinal garden, created due to late Lord Azure Dragon's request of planting the True Dragon Spirit Vine. The spirit vine, along with the other rare medicinal plant like Yellow Spring Spirit Lotus, are the things that is valuable in this place." Divinre stated after seeing the lost look on Cole's face.

Divinre could tell that unlike those with him, Cole wasn't clueless and knew what this place. And its not like having an idea of what it was but clearly knew what this place is!

His eyes say that he's looking for something specific, not like a greedy glint whose looking for anything valuable.

After hearing his explanation, Cole nodded his head as he understand that the inheritance he's expecting of wasn't here.

Then he added, "Instead, what this place will give you was just a qualification."

After Divinre said this, a wisp of flame appear out of thin and flew towards Cole's hand.

Since the latter don't felt any bad omen upon seeing the wisp of flame, he let it flew towards him.

The moment the wisp of flame touch Cole's hand, it seep into his skin. Then, a small but extremely vivid tattoo of crimson red Phoenix appear on top of his palm.

At the same time, information surge inside his head.

First of all, this tattoo was a qualification key that will enable him to enter the true cultivators place of Divine Alchemist, where she stored her inheritance and all the wealth she amass in her whole life.

Unlike this medicinal garden, that place was protected and hidden with many formations that won't have any small amount of time of weakness that could be possibly exploit and cracked by formation master. Without this said qualification, one will have to face the brunt of killing formation of the place, crack its defensive formation, see through its disguising formation and many others.

According to what he received from the mark, the formation system of that inheritance place could even annihilate a powerful Great Saint cultivator.

Secondly, the since the place was extremely hidden, the tattoo also had the capability to sense its location. In fact, as long as the bearer of this mark enter a certain range, the inheritance ground itself will call to him.

Thirdly, since the creator of the mark was the Divine Alchemist herself, the mark could absorb any kind of fire energy in the surrounding so that it won't harm the bearer, with limitations of course. And if the bearer cultivate a fire-type method or technique, it could help on refining the fire energy into purest form the tattoo could achieve.

And if the bearer of the mark practice Alchemy, it will produce more beneficial effect like increase of flame intensity and easier control.

Cole can't help but marvel at the fact that despite its small appearance, the tattoo could produce an effect comparable to high-grade weapon or equipments. Heck, it was even more valuable since it was hard to steal.

Unfortunately, most of this effect is not valuable for Cole.

Because his special physique and martial spirit produce even more powerful effect...

Still, since Divinre apparently practically worship his former master that he even stay on performing his duties despite his master was gone, Cole try not to show any displeasure. In any case, despite the lack of benefits, it doesn't counter his own ability.

While checking the phoenix tattoo, an image flash into his mind: it was a place of lava and fire. Countless volcanoes could be seen in the bird's eye and most of them were continuously spewing a stable stream of lava, creating the sea of fire.

On the middle was the most tallest volcanoe. It wasn't spewing lava but its mouth was full of them, bubbling. Furthermore, every popping of the lava will produce an incomparably level of heat that even affect the surrounding space and reality.

Suddenly, the image dive towards said volcano.

Unlike to what one expect, the internal space of the volcano wasn't full of lava. Instead, it was hollowed.

Inside it was a sparkling red, burning tree. It looks so godly and mythical. Unfortunately, Cole can't identify on what it was but he felt a strong attraction towards the burning tree.

Just when Cole thought that the image will inspect the tree closer, it suddenly ended and vanish, and a message sounded inside his mind which was the location of the said place; 'Vermillion Heart Peak'.

Without a doubt, it was the location of the inheritance of the Divine Alchemist.

Cole's consciousness return back to reality. The image show him the location he have to go in order to receive the inheritance of said alchemist.

Unfortunately, just the sea of fire is enough indication that it wasn't in the Azure Territory at all.

This means that if he want to acquire that inheritance, he have to travel towards far and foreign land.

Fortunately, the name of the place indicate of the same place he have to visit sooner or later; the Vermillion Territory!

To be exact, he also have to visit the Vermillion Territory' Death Volcano where one of the severed body part of Devourer Devil is sealed!

Not only the Devourer Devil a mission issued by the system that reward a huge amount of points, he also created a karma between them when he kill for good the six arms of the devil sealed here in Azure Territory. One way or another, this thing will find trouble to him due to that.

It seems that the moment he got out of this sealed medicinal garden, he have to quickly take care of his other business and go to Vermillion Territory afterwards.

With initial plan in his mind, he set the matter aside for the meantime and look at Divinre back, "I have recieve the location of the inheritance. I'll try to visit it as soon as possible."

"There's no hurry. The inheritance of my master has been waiting for several thousand of years already, several years of delay won't do any harm."

Cole nodded his head internally. Perhaps thousands of years is enough to destroy a left behind inheritance but this one still had a guardian that maintain it. It should be perfectly preserve until now despite the corrosion of time.

"Now that the matter of my master is temporarily cleared, this time, I want to talk about us."

Upon hearing that, Cole's heart can't help but skip a beat, his mind think of some unfavorable outcome.

"Young man, relax. What I want to talk is mostly about me and not about you... In fact, after seeing your capability, I believe that you are the only one that can help me on this helpless matter of mine... I want to ask a massive favor."

Cole heave a sigh of relief afterwards. He thought that this Great Saint Beast will covet something from him.

Furthermore, this is a favor requested by a Great Saint fate diviner beast!

"Great master, you've done many good things for me. Just say what it is and I'll try to best I can to make it happen."

The old goat stroke his white beard, "Hmm... In fact, the favor I want to ask is pretty simple: take care of my son."

For as second, Cole's mind went blank as he don't expect that request. After all, who is Divinre? He's a beast with divine bloodline! Definitely, no matter how much unlucky his son is, it should have holy-rank bloodline at the least!

Perhaps the latter was impressed by his capability as beast tamer that he want Cole to nourish and grow it up!

However, no matter how much Cole want to accept the favor, he think for a moment before accepting it. After all, the said son is definitely not normal for a Great Saint to be helpless about.

While Cole is still deep in his thoughts, a bright light flash in front of him. When he look at it, the other had opened an spatial passage!

The other side was apparently still in Azure Territory. However, the other side is like the deepest part of the forrest with thick trees with moss covering the land. Vines cover and connect the trees.

On the other side was a cave. Provably, it was the place where the alleged beast son resided.

In one look, the forest look normal with all the greens and vegetation. However, mysteriously, the place was too quiet! There were no other kind of sound except for the breeze of air.

Without a doubt, there was an abnormality in this place!

And most probably, this has something to do with the unknown beast son...

This time, Cole can't help but frown. Afterwards, the check the place, he use his [Heavenly Eyes] and he was shocked to what he see!

The green forest turn into ominous place with dark aura covering a massive land!

The thriving forest is actually a cursed land! It explain why the place is too quiet.

It was only then it dawn to him that something a Great Saint is helpless off was something that wasn't normal!

However, Cole believe that the latter won't give him an unsolvable thing. Probably, the latter had seen something from him that could help this situation.

"Follow me." The old man said.

"My race, the Fate Ponderer, is a type of beast that is gifted with inborn talent to divine and deduce. Our race is innately resistant to backlash of the divining heavenly secrets. Unfortunately, this given talent of us is accompanied with a great curse."

"All of the bad karma we accumulate when we divine heavenly secrets will be transferred to our firstborn. My firstborn... was a cursed, calamitous beast."

At the same time, they arrived at the center of the cave. This place, through the vision he recieve from [Heavenly Eyes], the whole limited place was covered with thick, black aura.

In the middle was the unexpected source of it all!
