You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 435 - 35、Holy Beast_2

He had received guidance from the Ultimate Path and naturally understood this was a great boon.

Ordinary Dao fusion could potentially bring one closer to those defiant Dao paths.

Those defiant Dao paths, once combined, would theoretically gradually approach the Ultimate Path.

Even possessing just a portion of the Ultimate Path's power was already extremely impressive.

"There are nine holy beasts I'm exceedingly familiar with."

Human Ancestor smiled and said, "I can recreate these nine holy beasts within the Eternal Night Illusion Realm, which should be quite helpful for your enlightenment."

"Nine kinds?" Lin Yue couldn't help but brighten at the prospect.

To recreate mutant beasts in the Eternal Night Illusion Realm required extreme familiarity, or having consumed them, to achieve this.

"I've also pondered the Dao inherent in the holy beasts and am naturally familiar with them," Human Ancestor said with a smile.

"Let's give it a try." Lin Yue immediately put away the black jade coffin and sent a Divine Thought into it.

...

"This is the holy beast 'Jiuyou Zhu'."

Within the Myriad Beasts Valley of the Eternal Night Illusion Realm, Human Ancestor pointed ahead into the vast darkness, and suddenly on the open ground before them appeared a divine colt shrouded in a faint dark radiance, its eyes ablaze with a pale blue flame, and its hooves as well stamped with dark flames, its aura extremely terrifying.

"This is Jiuyou Zhu?" Lin Yue couldn't help but scrutinize the mutant beast carefully.

Mutant beasts called holy beasts were each remarkably formidable and endowed with innate gifts that often made them stronger than human cultivators of the same level.

"This Jiuyou Zhu naturally contains the Dao of the earth and yin fire. Battling it should be very helpful for you," Human Ancestor declared.

"But I can't withstand even a single move," Lin Yue said helplessly.

Not to mention battling with a holy beast, even those who are weaker than holy beasts from the Human Clan and have reached Saint status are far stronger than he is.

He couldn't even defeat the avatars of those who had attained Saint status.

After all, even the weakest among those who had harmonized their Dao to become Saints could easily break into the ninth layer of Tianxia Building!

Even if an avatar only had a tenth of the original's strength, it would definitely correspond to the level of the eighth layer of the Tianxia Building.

Armed with no Divine Artifacts in the Illusion Realm and relying solely on his own strength, he was at best capable of reaching the level of five consecutive wins in the seventh layer of Tianxia Building, how could he possibly battle with a holy beast?

"Don't worry."

Human Ancestor smiled and said, "I will bind these holy beasts, reducing their strength to a level comparable to yours."

"That's good then," Lin Yue nodded slightly.

Human Ancestor gently tapped a few more times, and eight more astounding holy beasts appeared on the open ground in front of them.

"This is the Fire Sun Divine Sparrow, naturally containing the Dao of the Taiyang Path and Fire Path. Battling it will allow you to ponder the Fire Path."

"This is the Heavenly Water Green Python, naturally containing the Ice Phase, Wind Phase, and Vitality Phase; you can use it to ponder the Wind Phase Path."

"This is the Gray Dragon, naturally containing the Water Element and Wood Element Path..."

"This is the Thunder Beast, naturally containing both the Wind and Fire Phases and the Dao of Thunder..."

"This is Qingluan..."

Human Ancestor meticulously introduced these nine holy beasts to Lin Yue, smiling and saying, "Although some of the holy beasts share similar Dao, the Dao manifested by different holy beasts differs in its presentation and focus. You can understand it more easily by pondering it from different perspectives."

Lin Yue nodded slightly.

He needed to deduce the rudimentary form of the Four Phases Path of earth, wind, water, and fire and then seek a way to fuse them into the Ultimate Path.

Revealing traces of the Dao during battle, these nine holy beasts likely contain at least one of the Four Phases, and thus could greatly assist him in his quest.

Although it probably couldn't compare to the stone wall left by the State Preceptor in the First Upper Cave Heaven of the previous dynasty, it was still far better than aimlessly trying to comprehend the Dao like a headless fly.

After all, the State Preceptor from the previous dynasty had gone to great lengths to create that stone wall specifically to select disciples.

"Let's get started, let's try it now," Lin Yue inhaled deeply.

...

After condensing his Primordial Spirit, Lin Yue no longer needed to deliberately seclude himself in the Cultivation Chamber.

With merely a strand of Divine Thought, he could enter the black jade coffin within his Storage Ring, spending most of his consciousness in the Eternal Night Illusion Realm while maintaining a normal life. At the same time, he could constantly train and pursue enlightenment of the Dao inherent in the holy beasts at twelve times the speed.

Although a Great Cultivator's Primordial Spirit could not yet split into avatars, such a minor affair was not difficult.

"Right, I haven't checked the storage treasure of Commandery Princess Zangyan yet."

After Lin Yue emerged from the Cultivation Chamber, he suddenly remembered.

He had killed Commandery Princess Zangyan and collected her storage treasures. But to prevent the possibility of tracking marks left within the storage treasures, upon teleporting back, he had immediately used the "Primordial Sealing Spirit Array" to suppress and seal them.

The Primordial Sealing Spirit Array was a Saint Level array that excelled in sealing and erasing all kinds of marks and was particularly suitable for "disposing of stolen goods."

With mere efforts, the Primordial Sealing Spirit Array could easily erase the marks within a Great Cultivator's storage treasure, and sealing could completely disconnect any sense of it.

If it were not for this, he could not possibly have taken Commandery Princess Zangyan's storage treasure.

Soon after, Lin Yue arrived at a secluded tower deep within the mansion.

This tower was arrayed with The Primordial Seal Spirit Formation.

"Let's see if there are any surprises."

Lin Yue waved his hand, and several storage treasures, either rings or bracelets, flew into his grasp.

The first was to investigate the storage treasure of Commandery Princess Cangyan.

He was not so much coveting the treasures of Commandery Princess Cangyan, but rather hoping to find something usable.

For example—could there be incriminating evidence that threatened the Twelfth Prince?

"As I thought, nothing..."

After meticulously examining with his Divine Thought for quite a while, Lin Yue couldn't help but slightly shake his head.

One could safely assume that if there were any evidence that could threaten Prince Cheng Mansion, it wouldn't be left behind carelessly.

He had simply thought that since Commandery Princess Cangyan believed she wouldn't die, what if she carried the evidence with her?

The result... the enemy indeed wasn't that foolish.

"What's this..."

Suddenly, Lin Yue took out a ledger from the storage treasure, quickly flipped through it, and discovered that it recorded the details of selling grain.

"Why sell so much grain to Prince Xian's Mansion?" Lin Yue was a bit surprised.

Given the staggering amount of grain recorded in the ledger, this quantum of grain was enough to feed the mortals of several provinces for over half a month.

Prince Xian was the Eighth Prince.

He was suspected to be the Reincarnation of the Ancestor of the Heart Demon.

Among the six ancestors of the Demon Path, the Primordial Demon Ancestor was the oldest cultivator of the Demon Path, the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor had always been only concerned with the Blood Sea lineage, and the Ancestor of Illusion Demon was even absorbed in his illusions alone, while the other three Demon Ancestors subtly formed a camp.

Even after reincarnating as a prince, the situation seemed hardly different.

The Eighth Prince and the Twelfth Prince were on the same side, a transaction was normal, but why trade such an astonishing quantity of grain?

"I always feel there's something wrong..."

Lin Yue investigated the other storage treasures, but found nothing particularly special.

The only questionable item was this ledger.

"Could so much grain have some special purpose?"

Lin Yue pondered, then suddenly frowned slightly, "Not long ago, five Fengtian Order officers were killed in the Divine Pivot Institute... Why would Prince Xian buy so much grain at a time like this?"

The Divine Pivot Institute was responsible for regulating the Essence of Heaven and Earth within the Great Yong Realm.

The position of the Fengtian Order was to regulate the climate changes of the provinces, affecting the vitality of all spirit beings.

Such coincidence... Could there be some connection?

"When I have time, I should ask the Seventh Princess what use there is for so much grain..." Lin Yue mused to himself. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

He shook his head slightly, put away the ledger, and then left the tower.

"Baili has not left seclusion yet?"

Lin Yue also probed Baili Fengzhi's condition and found that she was still in seclusion.

Ever since she returned from that Inheritance Land, she had been in seclusion.

If things went well, as long as she condensed that kind of heaven-defying path, her strength would at least not be inferior to his current state without using a Divine Artifact.

"And little Yu?" Lin Yue checked on Yu Shiqi's situation as well.

Yu had broken through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier two years before, but to his surprise, Yu Shiqi's aura had also become more secretive and peculiar, as if there were some indescribable changes.

Moreover, he didn't know why, but she was often in a state of seclusion nowadays.

Lin Yue always felt there was a great secret with her.

Regrettably, his Secret Listening Divine Skill had never revealed two secrets on the same person.

He wondered if new changes would occur when he reached Saint Level Harmonization and his Innate Divine Power evolved to the ultimate tier.

Time silently passed.

The turmoil over Commandery Princess Cangyan's death gradually subsided, but Di Hong City seemed to be quietly experiencing an unknown undercurrent, which was gradually surging in the unseen depths.

Another month and more passed.

That day.

"Your Highness, two Chief Punishment Officers from the Heavenly Punishment Department have arrived, Han Yuan and his wife Mu Tianyan, and are currently seeking an audience at the mansion gates," reported the lady-in-waiting.

"Oh?"

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let them in."
