You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 446 - 40. Origin of the Demon Clan

"Intentionally?"

The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute's lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "Your Highness, why do you say that?"

"Was it not a reminder from the Chief?" Lin Yue slowly said, "The Chief must have guessed that today Duanmu Yan would come to kill these five Fengtian Order members, hadn't you?"

The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute chuckled and said, "The five Fengtian Order members who were killed a few months ago died in a very strange manner. It was the Second Prince who later reminded me that it was the result of the Dream Realm Path, a type of Heart Phase. Even the Heavenly Punishment Department said they couldn't detect any changes in their sins and I naturally thought of Duanmu Yan from a hundred years ago."

He glanced at Lin Yue and continued, "Your Highness' residence is now situated at the old Duanmu site, where many lurking members of the Demon Clan were captured in previous years using the traces left by Duanmu Yan, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Yue didn't care, and asked with a deeper meaning, "Does the Chief understand what kind of person Duanmu Yan is?"

"What do you mean by that?" The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute also asked meaningfully, "Are you referring to Duanmu Yan's character? Or the fact that he killed ten Fengtian Order members and still wasn't entangled by sin?"

Lin Yue immediately understood his answer and couldn't help but laugh, "It seems, Chief, you also don't believe he is a person of great merit."

With such a response from the Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute, it had already proved one point—even if one does not know the unpredictable people of Heaven, they were now doubting the existence of such people.

"That's exactly why I deduced that Duanmu Yan would appear," the Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute sighed.

"There's probably more to your deduction than that, right?"

Lin Yue shook his head slightly and said, "When I said the Chief was intentional, I meant this whole incident."

The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute stopped walking and turned to look at Lin Yue.

"You not only guessed that Duanmu Yan would appear, but you probably also understood that you couldn't protect those five Fengtian Order members. As soon as Duanmu Yan appeared, their deaths were inevitable."

Lin Yue looked at him and softly said, "So you invited so many guests to witness this, under everyone's watchful eyes, perhaps to let all parties understand that it was not the Divine Pivot Institute's fault, and also to let Great Yong realize the threat of Duanmu Yan?"

"You can't hide it from Your Highness," the Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute said with a shaking head and a smile.

Lin Yue said softly, "The Head of the Heavenly Punishment Department must have guessed it too, right? Chief, you let him see the traitor in person, also wanting him to make a big fuss?"

The words spoken by the avatar of the Head of the Heavenly Punishment Department before it dissipated made him even more certain of this.

The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute smiled and said, "Your Highness is correct, but I must correct Your Highness on two points."

"Please speak," Lin Yue looked at him.

"First, it wasn't me who stirred up this matter; this matter was already significant."

The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute squinted slightly and said, "Even the Second Prince personally came forward to remind me, the Crown Prince is clearly pursuing the traitor Duanmu Yan, but when Duanmu Yan appeared today, the Crown Prince also didn't make a move, which is enough to show the seriousness of this matter."

Lin Yue slightly nodded.

"Second, I, Gongsun Jue, am not such a ruthless person."

The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute said, "I just felt I might not be able to protect those five Fengtian Order members, and if I didn't lure Duanmu Yan out at this time, it would be even harder to protect them in the future. The Dream Realm Path is inherently peculiar, and Duanmu Yan has undergone significant transformations in these hundred years, so I was not confident."

Lin Yue slightly raised an eyebrow but didn't say much.

Instead, he changed the subject, "I heard that the Primordial Heaven Barrier Tower held by the Chief serves as your most important Lifebound Treasure. When the treasure tower is suspended overhead, its protective power is extraordinarily astonishing. Yet Duanmu Yan, relying solely on a single avatar, was able to execute those five in front of the Chief. Could it be possible that in just a hundred years, Duanmu Yan has already reached the Perfect stage of Proving?"

"No."

The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute shook his head and said, "When Duanmu Yan appeared and burst forth, his aura was clearly not transcending heaven and earth, and in the past, he only mastered two somewhat special paths, not the Heavenly Reversal Path, and almost had no hope of transcending."

Lin Yue's mind stirred.

If not a Heavenly Reversal Path, then was there almost no hope of Proving and Transcending?

He didn't rush to inquire about the Proofing matters but slightly furrowed his brow and said, "However, the strength demonstrated by Duanmu Yan today is far beyond that of a normal Saint."

"Indeed."

The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute said, "When the Second Prince examined the deaths of those five Fengtian Order members, he said that Duanmu Yan probably also mastered the Heavenly Reversal Path. In addition to his original mastery of the Dream Realm Path and the Illusion Technique Path, there were also traces of the Heart Demon Path, likely merging into a sort of Heavenly Reversal Path." frёewebnoѵēl.com

Lin Yue slightly narrowed his eyes.

It was said that Prince controlled both the Emotion and Desire Path and the Heart Demon Path, these two Heavenly Reversal Paths.

Perhaps...

Sharing some of the Heart Demon Path was the condition of the deal between Prince and Duanmu Yan?

"However..."

Lin Yue suddenly frowned and said, "Isn't it said that once the embryonic form of the path is condensed, the Divine Soul will be transformed and cannot forget again? Once Harmonization occurs, understanding a new path is almost impossible, isn't it?"

Even a genius like the Human Ancestor was so.

Only during the Great Cultivator stage could one comprehend the embryonic forms of various paths. Once Harmonization occurred and one wished to comprehend new paths, it was almost impossible.

If one wanted to comprehend new paths, there was theoretically only one method—

Reincarnation.

After undergoing the washing of the Reincarnation, when the Divine Soul returned to a blank new state, could one redraw.

Duanmu Yan had not undergone reincarnation, and his aura had not changed, so how did he comprehend a new path?

It was inconceivable.

"Hmm… apart from reincarnation, there is actually another way."

The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute pondered for a moment and suddenly said.

"Another way?" Lin Yue couldn't help but look at him.

The Chief of the Divine Pivot Institute sized up Lin Yue and said, "In theory, this secret should not be revealed, but since Your Highness is the number one genius of the Human Clan, an extremely extraordinary being, knowing this should not matter."
