**Chapter 1463: To Accept or Not to Accept, That Is Not the Question**
Private tasks are different from ordinary tasks. Lin Moyu knew this well.
Ordinary tasks provide general information and corresponding rewards, with detailed content only revealed after accepting the task. Once accepted, there is no turning back; the only outcomes are completion or failure.
Accepting ordinary tasks tests not only the cultivator's judgment but also involves a certain element of luck. In the process of cultivation, luck is very important. Many people with exceptional talent but poor luck end up dying halfway through their journey.
However, the current private task was not like that. The task issued by the Yu family ancestor had all the information clearly stated, and whether to accept it or not was entirely up to Lin Moyu.
The rewards for the task were very generous, so generous that Lin Moyu found it hard to refuse.
**[Special Task: Enter Area 10-03 and retrieve the lost artifact.]**
**[Lin Xiaoyou, the Yu family has an artifact lost in Area 10-03. We hope you can retrieve it for us.]**
**[Area 10-03 is extremely special; the physical body cannot enter it.]**
**[After the artifact was lost, the Yu family sent several God Sovereigns to search for it, but all failed, and two God Sovereigns died in the process.]**
**[From the information we obtained from 07, the stronger the soul, the higher the chance of survival inside.]**
**[Whether or not you can retrieve the artifact, the Yu family will compensate you accordingly.]**
**[Task Rewards: Basic reward of 50,000 task points. If the artifact is retrieved, an additional 100,000 task points and a God Sovereign-level artifact will be awarded.]**
The rewards were indeed very generous. Just by accepting the task and going to Area 10-03, even if the task was not completed, Lin Moyu would still receive 50,000 task points.
50,000 task points were just enough for Lin Moyu to upgrade his authority to level five.
For Lin Moyu, this was a considerable temptation.
If the task was successfully completed, it would add an extra 100,000 task points and a God Sovereign-level artifact. Lin Moyu knew very well how precious a God Sovereign-level artifact was.
Even though he currently had over 600 million points, it was not enough to buy a God Sovereign-level artifact. The cheapest God Sovereign-level artifact started at 1 billion points.
It was clear that the Yu family ancestor was making a significant investment. Such a high cost naturally indicated that the task was not easy.
The physical body could not enter, and only the soul could enter the area. Even God Sovereigns had fallen there, so Lin Moyu would undoubtedly face danger.
Lin Moyu weighed his options, and Yu Zhu's voice came to his ears, "Captain, how is it?"
She didn't know the specific details of the task, but she saw that Lin Moyu seemed to be in a dilemma.
Lin Moyu was indeed in a dilemma. If he accepted the task, he would undoubtedly want to complete it to the best of his ability, not deliberately fail.
For the mere 50,000 points, he wouldn't do that.
However, the danger was a factor that had to be considered. Although the God Sovereign artifact was tempting, it was not worth risking his life.
Lin Moyu couldn't make a decision for a while. Looking at Yu Zhu's big, blinking eyes, he said softly, "Let me think about it."
Yu Zhu responded with an "Oh" and didn't disturb him further.
The artifact lost by the Yu family was a soul artifact, and it was of a very high level.
Its level was at least high God Sovereign, possibly even Other Shore.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth such a high cost.
Lin Moyu guessed that besides its high level, the artifact might have some special functions.
The Yu family had sent God Sovereigns before, some of whom returned, while others died.
The God Sovereigns with strong souls eventually came out alive.
This was a very crucial piece of information, indicating that the danger inside couldn't easily kill a God Sovereign.
It also indicated that a fourth-grade soul couldn't complete the task.
The Yu family likely had Other Shore-level powerhouses, but why didn't they go?
Although Other Shore-level powerhouses couldn't act freely on the battlefield, it didn't mean they couldn't move around.
Was it because of some restriction that they couldn't enter?
And since Lin Moyu's soul had reached the fifth grade, but his actual realm was not even God Sovereign, he wouldn't be restricted?
While Lin Moyu was pondering, he suddenly received a message from Zhu Qiwu. He told Yu Zhu, "Wait for me here; I'll be back soon."
Yu Zhu responded with an "Oh" and agreed.
Lin Moyu quickly left the task center and met Zhu Qiwu outside.
Zhu Qiwu glanced at the sky, and Lin Moyu understood, flying up with him, leaving Fortress No. 1.
Standing in the void, Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, what do you need?"
The two had just parted not long ago, so Zhu Qiwu must have something important.
Zhu Qiwu asked, "Did the Yu family ancestor give you a private task?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "Is that why you came?"
Zhu Qiwu got straight to the point, "Have you accepted it?"
Lin Moyu said, "I'm considering it. What do you think, Senior?"
Zhu Qiwu said in a low voice, "Whether to accept it or not is up to you. I'm just here to tell you that the Yu family is very powerful, and this soul artifact is very important to them."
With just a few words, Lin Moyu understood Zhu Qiwu's meaning.
If he could complete the task, it would be a great favor to the Yu family.
Besides receiving the corresponding rewards, he would also gain the Yu family's favor.
This favor might be useless, or it might be very useful at some point.
Even Zhu Qiwu spoke so seriously, indicating that the Yu family's favor was very important.
Lin Moyu asked, "Do you have any information about Area 10-03?"
Zhu Qiwu directly handed a jade token to Lin Moyu, "A big figure asked me to tell you that although the place is dangerous, it shouldn't be able to kill you."
"If you accept and complete the task, he will say a few words for you in front of the Yu family ancestor."
Lin Moyu was not foolish; he understood immediately. The Yu family promised a God Sovereign-level artifact, but the quality of the artifact was not specified.
They could give the worst God Sovereign-level artifact or a good one, depending on their conscience. But if a big figure spoke for him, the Yu family wouldn't dare to give a subpar artifact.
Even among God Sovereign-level artifacts, the difference in quality could be vast.
Even if he didn't use it, selling it would fetch different prices.
With everything laid out, Lin Moyu decided to accept the task and immediately checked the information.
There wasn't much information about Area 10-03, and he finished reading it in less than half a minute.
It was a peculiar area where the physical body couldn't enter, only the soul could.
When the soul entered, the physical body would fall into a state of slumber and disappear from the void, making it impossible for anyone to find it.
The soul would automatically return to the body once it left the area.
During this process, there was no need to worry about the safety of the physical body.
As for the internal situation, each person faced different circumstances. Some saw vast oceans, with seawater that could corrode the soul.
Some entered a world of flames, with fire that could burn the soul.
Ten people entering would face ten different situations, completely unique.
Even two God Sovereigns who cultivated the same laws would face different situations.
In summary, it was not a safe place, and souls below the fourth grade would be instantly killed.
Even souls above the fourth grade faced danger.
"What kind of world is this?"
Such a magical place piqued Lin Moyu's curiosity.
Zhu Qiwu said, "I'll wait for you at Fortress No. 10."
