You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 321 - 69. Saint Heart Road

Ancestor Hall's deepest part.

"Junior brother has finally arrived."

Xiao Surong with her white hair flowing loosely stood at the temple entrance, sizing up Lin Yue, and said, "The Master is inside waiting for you, go ahead."

Lin Yue nodded slightly and asked, "I heard that senior sister sent a message to me three days ago?"

Xiao Surong calmly replied, "Heard that junior brother was in retreat, the Master said it wasn't anything urgent, just come over when you have time."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Lin Yue did not delay any further, immediately walking into the temple, once again arriving in front of that large bronze door deep within the palace.

Under the light of the Long Bright Pearl, the ancient bronze door seemed to have stood there for an eternity, its patterns exuding an ancient aura.

"Hm?"

Lin Yue suddenly paused slightly, discovering that the patterns on the bronze door resembled the reliefs he had seen on the walls of a hall within Grotto Heaven during the previous dynasty.

The patterns were at least of the same style, depicting scenes of the Human Clan worshiping the divine.

He collected his thoughts and bowed, saying, "Master."

"Hmm."

From behind the bronze door came the somewhat deep voice of the Main Hall Master, "The patterns on the bronze door, have you seen them before?"

"Yes." Lin Yue nodded frankly, "Disciple saw similar-style reliefs a few days ago at a secret place in the previous dynasty's Grotto Heaven."

"Great Yu..."

The Main Hall Master's voice carried a hint of complexity, softly sighing, "It's not only Great Yu, there were many such carvings long before, representing a path, albeit... an incorrect path."

"A path?" Lin Yue asked, puzzled.

"If you ever have the day of Proving, you will naturally understand," the Main Hall Master said softly.

"...Yes." Lin Yue was startled.

What kind of secret, that only a Supreme being who has Proven could qualify to understand?

"Do you know why I sought you?" the Main Hall Master asked.

"Master wants to see me, could it be because of Xia Lie's past life memories?" Lin Yue said.

The Main Hall Master paused briefly before asking, "Is it him?"

This question seemed a bit out of the blue.

But Lin Yue naturally understood, nodding immediately, "Xia Lie's past life was indeed Master's previous direct disciple, Xiahou Shou."

The Main Hall Master fell silent for a long while before sighing, "The Divine Emperor indeed chose him..."

"Master had already guessed as much," Lin Yue was not surprised.

After all, Xiahou Shou was the Main Hall Master's direct disciple; the Master couldn't possibly be unaware that the Divine Emperor visited Eternal Night those years, how could he not have speculated?

It was merely uncertainty.

Most importantly... such a major figure, suddenly deciding to take him, the Seventeenth Prince, as a disciple, could it really be just because of the Human Ancestor's Martial Arts Divine Skill?

Initially, he thought so too.

But later, he discovered that the Ancestor Hall indeed possessed the inheritance of the Martial Arts secret technique, although quite special, it wasn't special enough to warrant the Main Hall Master personally taking a disciple.

And, a Supreme Power like the Main Hall Master, having known of Xia Lie's existence upon meeting him, clearly had investigated his background in advance.

If he hadn't already suspected that Xiahou Shou might have reincarnated as the Seventeenth Prince, why would he put so much effort into it?

"I only guessed that the Divine Emperor might choose him, but he was ultimately a traitor, and I couldn't be certain,"

the Main Hall Master sighed softly, "Only when I realized that your strength had advanced so dramatically and your physical body had become so strong, did I confirm it."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment before saying, "Xia Lie was after all a reincarnation of Master's direct disciple, and Master knows it was I who killed him, usurped the Prince's identity, yet still willing to take me as a disciple?"

Behind the door, the Main Hall Master remained silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly.

"Regardless of how he step by step reached the endpoint of a traitor, he indeed was a traitor of the Human Clan, and potentially a major calamity that could lead to the extinction of Human Clan; I still don't know why the Divine Emperor 보댯allowed him to be reincarnated as a Prince, but... your killing him and taking his identity and power is indeed a good thing for the Human Clan."

Lin Yue too fell silent for a while before speaking, "Do the Crown Prince and the Second Prince know about this?"

The Main Hall Master spoke in a low voice, "I'm not sure about the Crown Prince, but the Second Prince has long known the past life identity of the Seventeenth Prince, he just never told me, perhaps fearing that I would clean house like I did back then..."

The space behind the bronze door gradually fell silent, he did not continue speaking.

After a moment, the Main Hall Master suddenly said in a low voice, "Once you know the true reason he truly turned against the Human Clan, tell me the truth, I want to know... what he actually saw back then."

Lin Yue nodded, "Yes."

"How are you progressing with his Body Refining Techniques?" the Main Hall Master asked again.

"It should now be comparable to his own,"

Lin Yue said, "Initially disciple thought, without Earth Emperor Essence, without Barbarian God Body, at most could achieve fifty percent effectiveness, but the physical body of the Ancient God's Way seems quite peculiar, disciple practicing the Three Thousand Hell Body actually reached eight to ninety percent effectiveness, and after obtaining the Earth Emperor's Golden Blood this time, the effect was better than expected, does Master know why?"

"After all, it's the Ancient God's Way," the Main Hall Master did not seem surprised, just softly spoke, "Even at the Four Symbols Level, there are many remarkable aspects, wait until your Harmonization, then you will understand the true power of this Ancient God's Way."

"Harmonization?" Lin Yue reflected upon this.

"Continue your cultivation diligently."

The Main Hall Master said, "His Body Refining Techniques are indeed ingenious, creating such Body Refining Techniques is also very fortuitous, if not born with a great destiny, even I couldn't create such a peerless secret technique that could also be passed down."

He paused, then added, "With such a physical body foundation, as long as your Martial Arts Realm reaches perfection, someday you will be able to conquer the Fourth Layer and achieve five consecutive wins in Tianxia Building."
