Duan Donghe looked at Luo Yuan and smiled. "This Inheritance Space is the central treasure of our Duan Donghe Lineage, and a Peerless Supreme Treasure specially refined by the Third Generation Ancestor during his lifetime. Once you have obtained all the inheritances here, you will learn its mysteries. Access to this place is controlled by this consciousness of mine. Only after I relinquish that control can you inherit this Inheritance Space.
"Before I let you claim ownership of this Inheritance Space, I need you to swear an oath along with me. Do not underestimate this oath; it is also bound by cosmic rules.

Every inheritor of Duan Donghe has had to do this, and you must do the same. Otherwise, you can only perish, and I will select another Inheritor. I believe you can understand."

Although he did not know whether oaths in this world were truly binding, he still regarded them with reverence. He also did not believe that Duan Donghe was doing something meaningless.
Duan Donghe raised his head toward the Third Generation Ancestor's statue and swore, "I, Hunyuan, swear as the current Inheritor of the Duan Donghe Lineage, with the Inheritance Mark as proof, to inherit the name Duan Donghe·Hunyuan and protect the inheritance of the Duan Donghe Lineage. I will never pass it on to outsiders, except when passing it to the next inheritor of Duan Donghe. If I violate this oath, may my soul be annihilated, never to enter reincarnation."
