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

Chapter 228 - 31、Fourth Prince_2



The higher the Spiritual Realm of the Martial Arts True Self, the more the Divine Soul resembled the true form of oneself, only when the Divine Soul completely transformed into an actual human form could it be considered the ultimate of the Martial Arts True Self.

Normally, as soon as one touched the threshold of Martial Arts True Self, and the Divine Soul began to take shape, one would be able to break through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier and start to merge traces of the Heaven and Earth Law.

As a result, both the Divine Soul and the Physical Body would undergo an astonishing metamorphosis, and one could continue to elevate the Spiritual Realm with the help of the Heaven and Earth Law.

But since he couldn’t break through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, he could only continue to elevate the Spiritual Realm of Martial Arts, making his Martial Arts True Self even more profound and his Combat Power even higher.

It was indeed exceptionally challenging to hone one’s Spiritual Realm to the ultimate on one’s own.

"Third, it’s time for you to create your own Martial Arts True Skill."

Xiao Surong said, "An ordinary Martial Arts True Skill won’t suffice, it has to be an Ultimate True Skill at the least."

Lin Yue nodded slightly.

Any Martial Arts Killing Skill can only touch the threshold of the Martial Arts True Self, and once one has stepped over the threshold, one has to create one’s own.

Because each person’s True Self is involved, other people’s Spiritual Realms are no longer suitable.

Therefore, once a Martial Arts Killing Skill had reached the True Self Level, it became a Martial Arts True Skill after one started to create their own.

The limit of Martial Arts True Skills was also higher, but so was the cost.

On this point, Lin Yue had some confidence.

"If you can meet these three requirements, you should be confident that you’ll make it through."

Xiao Surong glanced at Lin Yue and said, "Although I think the difficulty of these three requirements is so high that it’s almost impossible to complete, since Master has made such demands of you, you probably can do it."

She spoke softly, "You should read more books in the Transmission Martial Hall. Without sufficient knowledge and experience, there’s little hope."

"Thank you for your guidance, Sister," Lin Yue nodded slightly.

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Surong asked.

Lin Yue thought for a moment, then asked, "The master of the Heavenly Light Hall originally wanted to take me as a direct disciple, but after he received a message from the master of the Ancient Hall, he suddenly reneged. Sister, do you know why?"

"Reneged?"

Xiao Surong pondered for a while and said, "I think it must be because the master of the Ancient Hall informed the master of the Heavenly Light Hall about the rules of the Heart Refining Pavilion."

"Heart Refining Pavilion?" Lin Yue was puzzled.

"That’s a secret place that is extremely helpful for Martial Saints. You’ll know about it later."

Xiao Surong continued, "It seems that the Artifact Spirit of the Heart Refining Pavilion really dislikes the Imperial Family of Xiahong. If the master of the Heavenly Light Hall took you as a direct disciple, the Artifact Spirit of the Heart Refining Pavilion might not allow him to enter anymore, so it’s normal for him not to take you."

"So it is..."

Lin Yue realized, understanding the helpless look on the master of the Heavenly Light Hall’s face.

"What about Master?" Lin Yue couldn’t help asking, "If Master took me as a direct disciple, wouldn’t he also be denied entry?"

"How is that possible?" Xiao Surong shook her head, "Not to mention that Master has already achieved Perfect Proving, even if Master really wanted to enter, that Artifact Spirit couldn’t stop him."

"That’s good."

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Surong asked.

Lin Yue thought for a moment and said, "Not for now."

"Then I’ll be leaving; come find me if there’s anything else."

Xiao Surong didn’t say anything else and turned to fly away.

Lin Yue pondered for a while, then flew towards the square.

By now, most of the people on the square had already dispersed, and Baili Fengzhi and Sha Jiu were no longer there, probably having gone to see the Master of the Hall.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Just then, Xiahong Baiye came over, excitedly asking, "Did you finish meeting with the Main Hall Master so soon?"

Lin Yue nodded slightly and inquired, "Where’s my guard?"

"Sister Baili has gone to see her Master," Xiahong Baiye said mysteriously, "Your Highness, guess which Hall Master Sister Baili chose?"

"Yuan Yang?" Lin Yue asked.

After all, the master of the Primordial Yang Hall was willing to take Baili Fengzhi as a direct disciple.

"Right."

Xiahong Baiye nodded and said, "Baili Sister is now the direct disciple of the Ancient Hall Master, but in terms of seniority, Baili Sister actually has to call you ’Uncle-Master.’"

"Uncle-Master?" Lin Yue was astonished.

"Your Highness, you are the Main Hall Master’s inner sect disciple," Xiahong Baiye said, "All the hall masters are in fact the Main Hall Master’s named disciples, and they all have to call you ’Senior Brother.’"

Lin Yue then understood.

"By the way, Your Highness."

Xiahong Baiye said, "People from the Ancestor Order are waiting for you outside the Ancestor Hall. Will you go to meet them?"

"The Ancestor Order?" Lin Yue nodded slightly, "Okay."

The Ancestor Order is an institution specifically managing Imperial Family affairs, not only recording the legitimate and illegitimate children of the royal lineage, names, titles, times of birth and death, marriages, posthumous titles, and burials but also the crimes and faults of the royal members.

He had also learned that the position of the Ancestor Order was held by the Fourth Prince, Prince Ji.

The left and right Chengzong positions were also held by two Commandery Princes.

He had heard from the Fifth Prince that the Fourth Prince seemed to have a blockhead?

However, according to his understanding, the Fourth Prince’s reputation was quite good, rumored to be a reincarnation of a Buddhist Great Power, a genuine good person who, even amidst the strife among princes, only acted in self-defense and was always on the defensive, never the offensive.

"Prince Ji has been waiting at the gate for you since he heard that you accepted your identity as a prince; he has been waiting for quite a while now."

Speaking thus, Xiahong Baiye promptly led Lin Yue out through the grand entrance of the Ancestor Hall.

Just then, at the edge of the Ancestor Hall’s enclosing wall, stood a magnificent canopy, under which could be seen more than ten people.

Besides the officials of the Ancestor Order, the three people at the forefront were likely the Ancestor Order and the left and right Chengzong.

Among them, the Prince who was dressed in the usual attire of royalty appeared rather old, with noticeable wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, bearing a kind and benevolent face, and was at this moment looking at Lin Yue with a chuckle.

The other two Commandery Princes, presumably those serving as the left and right Chengzong, the Commandery Prince of Funan and the Commandery Prince of Tian Li.

Upon seeing Lin Yue, the Fourth Prince revealed a kind smile and spoke, "It’s a surprise to see brother seventeen accept his identity so soon; if you’d rather not, your elder brother can still help you delay it a bit."

"Thank you, Prince Ji, there’s no need to delay it any further," Lin Yue replied with a slight bow.

The Commandery Prince of Funan joked, "Uncle Prince Ji, uncle seventeen is not only an inner hall disciple but also the disciple of the Ancestor Hall Main Hall Master. How could he worry about the minor trials before becoming a sealed prince?"

Prince Tian Li also nodded in agreement, "Prince Ji need not worry anymore."

"As long as brother seventeen is confident."

The Fourth Prince smiled at Lin Yue, saying, "Then let’s proceed with the formalities. Our Ancestor Order has verified the blood of brother seventeen, and after facing an audience with His Majesty for confirmation, you will officially be a prince. At that point, in addition to constructing a Prince Mansion, you will also begin facing the trials of a prince."

Lin Yue nodded slightly, still calm.

The Fourth Prince took out a pale golden long needle, pricked the tip of his finger, and the needle pierced Lin Yue’s fingertip, drawing a drop of fresh blood.

Same as the method used by the counterfeit Patrol Envoy from the Tantian Sect.

Before long, the pale golden long needle with the swirling aura around it shuddered slightly, soon covered in a layer of profound and noble purple.

"That will do."

The Fourth Prince nodded slightly and sighed, "Normally it should be checked by a Patrol Envoy after the inspection, but the envoy who was dispatched to meet brother seventeen has yet to return. Fortunately, brother seventeen has come back."

Lin Yue knew that the Patrol Envoy who had gone to meet him had been intercepted en route and killed.

To this day, he was still unclear about who had killed the Patrol Envoy.

"Prince Ji, may I know when I can meet His Majesty?" Lin Yue intentionally asked.

Prince Ji hesitated for a moment, then said, "His Majesty was on an inspection of the Human World, repairing the National Guardian Array, and went into seclusion upon returning. I’m not sure when he will come out, but the Crown Prince, as regent, will issue the Imperial Decree on your behalf."

Seclusion?

It seems Prince Ji is either unaware, or knows but pretends not to... Lin Yue said nothing, simply replying, "Good."

"Don’t worry," Prince Ji said, "Once His Majesty exits seclusion, he will meet with you at the earliest opportunity, at which time he will surely have a reward for you."

Lin Yue said nothing, only nodding, "Before the establishment of the Prince Mansion, I shall reside in Duke Heng’s residence for the time being. If you need anything, Prince Ji, you can send someone there to find me."

Prince Ji nodded, then handed over a scroll to him, saying, "These are the initial stages of the prince’s trials. Brother seventeen can prepare in advance."

"The trials of a prince?"

Lin Yue took the scroll with curiosity and began to read.
