You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 342 - 2. Completely exterminate

"Sister, long time no see."

At the deep palace entrance of the Ancestor Hall, Lin Yue glanced at Xiao Surong, who remained as cold as an iceberg, and asked with concern, "How have you been lately?"

"Isn't it just five years since we last met?" Xiao Surong retorted, then added, "I haven't changed much, except that I've lost another five years of my life."

"...Sister sure has a sense of humor."

"?It's just the truth, junior brother. Go ahead, Master is waiting for you."

Without further ado, Lin Yue walked into the hall, along the deep palace corridors, to the engraved bronze door once again.

"Master."

Lin Yue bowed and said, "Disciple has completed your request, so I came to see you."

Silence followed beyond the bronze door.

After a long pause—

"Boom—"

Amidst the rumbling sound, the grand and massive bronze door slowly began to open, revealing the somewhat dark hall behind it soon after.

The hall was quite spacious, with many iron cages covered in black cloth; at that moment, a slightly disheveled man in a blue robe sat behind a tea table, his ancient and somewhat pale face quite surprising.

Most shocking was the fact that beneath the man's blue robe hung a thin, pale-gold chain, which connected his body to a circular lock on the ground. Now, this lengthy chain coiled at his feet.

"Master?" Lin Yue was a bit shocked.

The Main Hall Master of the Ancestor Hall was actually chained up here?

Who did this?

"How is it?" The man in the blue robe smiled faintly and asked, "Are you disappointed to see me in person?"

Lin Yue shook his head and said, "Not at all, but I don't understand, Master, who has confined you here?"

"I confined myself here," the man in the blue robe replied calmly.

"Master, by yourself?" Lin Yue was dumbfounded.

"You will understand in time."

The man in the blue robe shook his head slightly and said, "Since you have fulfilled my request, from now on you are my direct disciple, so I wanted to meet you."

Lin Yue immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Get up," the man in the blue robe shook his head slightly.

Lin Yue immediately stood up.

"Although you lack the rich past experiences of other princes, it shows that you have exceedingly high comprehension," the man in the blue robe said quietly, "The victories in the Fifth Consecutive Battles at the Tianxia Building now also mark you as a top-tier talent of the Human Clan."

"Top-tier talent?" Lin Yue pondered.

The man in the blue robe then asked, "When do you plan to Breakthrough? With your current Realm, once you Breakthrough, you should easily be able to Cultivate to the Perfect Harmonization stage, laying a flawless foundation for potentially Proving in the future."

"A chance to Prove?" Lin Yue realized, "So Master had me cultivate this way for the future possibility of Proving?"

"To aim to Prove, a flawless foundation of Harmonization is a fundamental requirement," the man in the blue robe explained, "Otherwise, you'd have to slowly compensate after breaking the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, and once your perception has changed, it becomes extremely difficult to make any amendments. That's why princes, princesses, and some exceptional geniuses all cultivate in this manner."

Lin Yue understood.

"When do you prepare to Breakthrough?" the man in the blue robe asked.

"Perhaps a year from now."

Lin Yue said, "Disciple still needs to participate in a survival trial in the wilderness among princes, and my Cultivation Technique has only just been perfected; I also need time to contemplate it."

"The Cultivation Technique deduced from Inquiry Tea at Tianxia Building is indeed nearly perfect," the man in the blue robe nodded slightly, "With your accumulation, the Techniques you've deduced must be extraordinary. In the future, using this to form the embryonic form of your Path might also bring some surprises."

"It is a bit complex," Lin Yue sighed.

Although it was a Technique he had deduced himself, it was created in a state of Sudden Enlightenment, so in reality, he hadn't truly learned the new Technique yet.

But, after all, he was very familiar with it, and it was the most suitable Technique for him; it didn't require combative cultivation, only serene contemplation, and he would naturally master it thoroughly.

"No worries, the embryonic form of the Path comes step by step," the man in the blue robe gently shook his head.

Next, he said, "As for the wilderness survival trial, it's indeed beneficial for you. You are currently the top talent of the Human Clan, and incidentally, the wilderness of the North Garden has just 'awakened;' you are fortunate."

"Awakened?" Lin Yue was somewhat confused.

The man in the blue robe pondered for a moment, then said, "Do you know what the true purpose of this wilderness survival trial is?"

"The disciple is not quite sure," Lin Yue said, "I only know that the wilderness suppresses cultivators to the Mortal level, and it seems also to conceal many opportunities, some of which could be purchased with the coins from the wilderness?"

"You do know a lot."

The man in the blue robe nodded slightly, "That is the case, but actually, most of it depends on luck."

"Depending on luck?" Lin Yue nodded in agreement.

The opportunities in the wilderness were hidden and difficult to spot, weren't they?

"In addition to the Xiahong family, the Three Religions Holy Land and disciples from the Ancestor Hall also frequently send disciples in, everyone sees it as a land of given opportunities."

The man in the blue robe slowly continued, "But in truth, the wilderness is nothing like they imagine. I cannot tell you the truth, for if you know, it would detect it; it doesn't like those who are overly intentional."

"It? The wilderness?" Lin Yue was taken aback.

"The less you know, the better for you."

The man in the blue robe spoke softly, "I can only give you one piece of advice...when you go in, do not deliberately search for opportunities. The wilderness suppresses everything extraordinary, even the greatest opportunities won't distinguish from ordinary objects and you wouldn't recognize them when placed in front of you. What is meant to be yours, will be yours."
