[Golden Heaven's Mandate: Heaven and Earth Soul, a conversation with the Chen Family Ancestor's [Past Self]]

[After he said that, a long silence fell over the scene.]

[Only after a long while did you disperse that wisp of divine sense and meet him in your true body.]

[Looking at this youth who radiated an eerie sense of age and weathering, you were left speechless and said:]

["Was it because of that [golden heaven's mandate]?!"]

(See Chapter 167 for its specific effects)

[But without exception, these were only at the level of [purple heaven's mandates]. A [golden heaven's mandate] surely had to defy heaven even more!]
