You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"Benefits?"

Lin Yue asked in confusion, "Please, could you enlighten me, Senior Sister?"

Xiao Surong, evidently not one to beat around the bush, said directly, "The Ancestor Hall and the Imperial Family both offer resource rewards for core members. For instance, if you challenge the Tianxia Building, both the Ancestor Hall and the Imperial Family will grant substantial rewards. There are also some missions that both the Ancestor Hall and the Imperial Family will issue, so you could potentially receive rewards from both."

"Oh?" Lin Yue understood her meaning.

The Ancestor Hall and the Imperial Family were the two most powerful forces in the world, and the rewards for core members were exceptionally high. Even a prince could not ignore these rewards.

Normally, core members of the Ancestor Hall would not accept core members from the Imperial Family, so it was impossible to receive rewards from both.

But he was an exception.

"All resources of the Ancestor Hall can be exchanged by anyone who can see them using merit,"

Xiao Surong said, "As you are a disciple of our Master, almost all resources are open to you. Junior Brother, you can decide for yourself."

Lin Yue thought for a moment, then immediately asked, "Senior Sister, the Master said I should pass the fourth layer of the Tianxia Building and achieve five consecutive victories before breaking through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier. Could you give me some advice?"

Xiao Surong was slightly taken aback by his words, looking at him curiously for a while before speaking.

"Although the Master’s expectations are incredibly high for you, since the Master said so, it indicates that you might achieve it, so you need to do your best."

She spoke softly, "You are a prince, theoretically capable of accomplishing this, but the difficulty is unimaginably high."

Lin Yue nodded slightly.

Being able to pass the third layer of the Tianxia Building meant you were at least at the baseline of a Great Cultivator, while the fourth layer was considered strong even among Great Cultivators, not to mention achieving five consecutive victories.

Such a difficulty level could only be achieved by a small number of Great Cultivators who understood the Heaven and Earth Law, let alone cultivators at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier.

"Hmm..."

Xiao Surong pondered for a moment and said, "To achieve this, you need to meet three requirements."

"Please tell me, Senior Sister," Lin Yue said.

"The first is the foundation."

Xiao Surong said, "Your physical foundation must at least be comparable to a perfect Martial Arts Grandmaster, only then will you have hope."

Lin Yue was speechless.

This difficulty was indeed beyond comprehension, as it effectively meant leading an entire major realm in terms of foundation!

Xiao Surong said, "You are a prince of the Xiahong Clan, capable of handling both physical body essence power and mind forbidden techniques. Theoretically, as long as you cultivate a body refining cultivation method comparable to the highest secret transmissions of the Demon Clan, like the Fire Phoenix Divine Body or the Dragon Divine Body, you can do it."

She paused, then added, "Of course, the Human Clan can’t cultivate the highest secret transmissions of the Demon Clan. Currently, cultivation methods that match the highest secret transmissions of the Demon Clan have been lost, so you could also fully cultivate one of the Human Clan’s top-tier body refining cultivation methods to perfection while possessing an innate divine power or special physique that purely enhances combat power."

Lin Yue frowned slightly.

He did have a special physique, the Acquired Primordial Body, but it was a physique that greatly aided cultivation, offering no direct enhancement to combat power.

As for innate divine powers, he had two, but neither offered direct improvements to combat power.

However, since the Primordial Body could be formed through Heaven and Earth Treasures after birth, perhaps one could also form a combat power-enhancing physique after birth?

Moreover...

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Senior Sister, you said earlier that the Human Clan has lost cultivation methods that match the highest secret transmissions of the Demon Clan. Does that mean there was once such a thing?"

"You could say that."

Xiao Surong said, "Do you know that in the history of the inner hall assessments of the Ancestor Hall, someone once passed the seventh round of the life and death battle?"

"I’ve heard about it." Lin Yue nodded.

"That happened a thousand six hundred years ago."

Xiao Surong said, "Back then, the Great Yong had not yet been established, and an extraordinary genius emerged within the Human Clan, having a unique physique. He created a body refining cultivation method comparable to the Fire Phoenix Divine Body and Dragon Divine Body based on his own physique. That is how he passed the seventh round of the life and death battle. If you could also accomplish that, there is a chance for you."

Lin Yue remained silent.

In the entire history of the Human Clan, there was only that one exception, so he naturally did not have high hopes.

"Did the Ancestor Hall not preserve the inheritance of that extraordinary genius’s body refining cultivation method?" Lin Yue could not help but ask.

"No."

Xiao Surong shook her head and said, "It is said that in order to create the body refining technique, that person consumed a great deal of his lifespan. In pursuit of greater heights and longevity, he defected from the Human Clan, transformed into a demon, and naturally did not leave the inheritance."

Lin Yue shook his head slightly.

It seemed he had to rely on forming a postnatally enhanced physique to boost his combat power, and if that was not possible, attempt to create one himself.

"The foundation is just the first step."

Xiao Surong said, "The second step is that your realm needs to be high enough. Generally, reaching the Four Symbols Peak and touching the threshold of the Martial Arts True Self could allow one to try breaking the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, merging the Heaven and Earth Law into the Martial Arts True Self, and manifesting the Martial Arts Soul, but that’s not the case for you."

She spoke softly, "Obviously, the Master wants your Martial Arts Soul to reach the ultimate level before breaking through, so you can condense the most perfect Martial Arts Soul. Therefore, your martial arts realm must also rise to the limit until your divine soul materializes the perfect Martial Arts True Self."

Lin Yue pondered silently.

This aspect, naturally, was also difficult.

The killing skill realm, the true martial arts intent, and even the Martial Arts True Self were essentially mental realms that stimulated, altered, or even remolded oneself.

A person’s divine soul was originally dispersed and formless, but when one’s mental realm reached the threshold of the Martial Arts True Self, the enhanced divine soul would be like bones taking shape, gradually becoming tangible.

Thus, this level of mental realm was called "true self."
