You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 423 - 30, The Legendary Strongman_2

This Array Path Great Power was willing to stay in the Prince Mansion like a Guest Elder; such a good fortune was something many princes couldn't even beg for.

...

Returned to the Cultivation Chamber.

Lin Yue sat down cross-legged in high spirits, his Divine Thought probing into the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin; his consciousness immediately plunged into the Eternal Night Illusion Realm within.

"Yo, kid."

The Human Ancestor sat by the campfire, somewhat surprised as he sized up Lin Yue, "Have you condensed the embryonic form of the path? So quickly?"

To recognize the essence of Heaven and Earth Law and reach its extreme was to achieve Perfect as a Great Cultivator.

And to condense the embryonic form of the path was to reach the Peak of a Great Cultivator.

Not only would one's aura undergo a metamorphosis, transforming from the obscure and intangible aura of Heaven and Earth Law to a tangible wisp of the essence of the path, but one's strength would also greatly increase!

"It's just an ordinary Wind Phase Path."

Lin Yue shook his head slightly, "I'm here to test out my strength; please prepare some more Mutant Beasts for me."

"Alright," the Human Ancestor nodded slightly.

...

After a cup of tea's time had passed.

Lin Yue looked around at the mutilated corpses of Beast Kings he had sliced up into pieces before fluttering back to the campfire like a swift wind and sitting down.

"How was it?" the Human Ancestor handed him a skewer of roasted meat.

"I didn't expect... even an ordinary Path Embryo to be so powerful."

Lin Yue clicked his tongue in wonderment, "Now, even without using the Chaos Reopening move, my strength is on par with having used the move before my breakthrough, perhaps even a bit stronger."

If he were to go to the Tianxia Building, even without a Divine Artifact, not using Chaos Reopening, he could easily storm through to the Seventh Layer.

He now also understood why that Ascetic, despite lacking Divine Artifact and not having a foundation in Supreme Inheritance level Cultivation Methods, was able to match him just by relying on an Array boost.

The addition of the Path Embryo was simply too significant.

Even an ordinary Path Embryo's boost to his strength compared well with the amplification of his Divine Artifact.

"If I were to use Chaos Reopening again, Water and Fire flowing with the Wind throughout my body, the Wind Phase Path also gives a great boost to this move; I reckon five consecutive victories on the Seventh Layer of the Tianxia Building would be quite easy."

Lin Yue pondered and judged, "However, the Chaos Reopening move requires a balance of the Four Phases; it still needs a bit of adjustment."

"That shouldn't be hard."

The Human Ancestor smiled, "First eat the meat; this is the tenderest heart meat from the Li Chi Demon Dragon, something you can't eat in Great Yong, right?"

Lin Yue bit into it and couldn't help but exclaim, nodding his head, "Indeed, I've never tasted it before, but don't you get tired of only eating meat every day without vegetables and rice?"

"How can you practice Martial Arts without eating meat?"

The Human Ancestor took big bites of the meat skewer, "Besides, I would like to eat grains, but back in the day, I often led my clans on migrations, or we had to live in caves to avoid being discovered by Mutant Beasts; where would we have the time to farm and harvest grains? We could barely make do with hunting and gathering wild fruits for sustenance."

He shook his head, "Moreover... back then, the lands of Eternal Night were full of various spiritual plants, and the vitality of the soil was all absorbed by them; without proper treatment, it was impossible to grow grains."

"That's true."

Lin Yue nodded slightly and smiled, "When you have a Physical Body, I'll take you to eat the tastiest grains in the world, grown by a friend of mine with whom I have a good relationship."

"Oh? Then I shall look forward to trying it," said the Human Ancestor, somewhat eagerly, "I really want to see for myself what life is like for the Human Clan nowadays. Just hearing about it from you, kid, makes it hard to imagine."

"Favorable weather, a land of fertile fields."

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Although there are frequent internal conflicts and many evildoers, overall it's indeed much better than the hostile living environment of Eternal Night that you described."

Come to think of it, the majority of the Human Clan today might well be considered descendants of the Human Ancestor's Bloodline.

Because tens of thousands of years ago, other than the Human Ancestor founding Martial Arts, giving the Human Clan a means of self-preservation, there were almost no effective methods to resist Mutant Beasts.

Due to the isolation and danger of Eternal Night, communication was extremely difficult; the first to benefit and learn Martial Arts were also the clans of the Human Ancestor.

Moreover, back then, the Human Clan faced various great calamities that almost led to their extinction.

It was the lineage of the Human Ancestor that had a higher chance of survival,

"So... it's not wrong to say that today's Human Clan are the bloodline descendants of the Human Ancestor."

"Fair winds and bountiful harvests, fertile lands as far as the eye can see..."

The Human Ancestor listened to his descriptions. Those simple eight words seemed to transfix him, as if he could already see that prosperous era which he wouldn't even dare to dream of, one that could only exist in wishes.

...

Prince Mansion, in the secret chamber.

"Pei Bin."

Lin Yue sat behind a desk and handed a scroll to Pei Bin, saying, "Investigate her whereabouts carefully, ascertain her travel patterns, and help me find the most opportune moment to make a move against her."

Pei Bin took the scroll and glanced at the name, involuntarily saying, "Commandery Princess Cang Yan? Your Highness really intends to strike against her?"

"Yes," Lin Yue nodded.

"Can Your Highness find a Death Soldier to kill this Commandery Princess Cang Yan?"

Pei Bin couldn't help but say, "This Commandery Princess Wu Yan is a three-time consecutive victor in Tianxia Building's Seventh Layer, and she is also a commandery princess. The protection of her nation's destiny has already manifested as a royal robe. The heinous crime of killing her, I fear..."

"There are no Death Soldiers, how could such powerful Death Soldiers even exist?" Lin Yue shook his head.

"No Death Soldiers?" Pei Bin was taken aback.

"I will take action personally," Lin Yue said calmly. "Plan it as if I were the assassin."

"Your Highness, risking your own life? This..."

Pei Bin hurriedly tried to dissuade, "Your Highness, Commandery Princess Wu Yan is a three-time consecutive victor in the Seventh Layer of Tianxia Building, a formidable opponent. Even those top fighters with five continuous victories in the Seventh Layer would need to expend a great deal of effort to kill her."

He sighed, "And if Commandery Princess Cang Yan can resist even for a brief moment, she can call for help from the Twelfth Prince. Even just an avatar sent from afar by the Twelfth Prince could easily save her. This matter is of great significance, you must reconsider, Your Highness."

Lin Yue smiled and asked, "Then what kind of strength do you think is needed to kill her?"

Pei Bin was slightly stunned and said, "It would have to be at least one of those legendary Great Cultivators who can break into the Eighth Layer of Tianxia Building..."

He too was a Great Cultivator and naturally knew how terrifying and ludicrous the strength required to break into the Eighth Layer of Tianxia Building was; it was almost a myth.

To reach the peak of Great Cultivator, one must also cultivate a Cultivation Method comparable to a Supreme Inheritance and create an extremely powerful and terrifying True Skill. In addition, the embryonic form of the Path they mastered must also be of a kind that defies the heavens!

In other words, they would have to reach the zenith in foundation, technique, and realm!

It was truly the stuff of legends.

In this era, whether there are any Great Cultivators with such existence is hard to say.

So, it's not surprising that the Eighth Layer of Tianxia Building is empty.

"The Eighth Layer of Tianxia Building?" Lin Yue smiled and said, "In reality, my strength is equivalent to the Eighth Layer of Tianxia Building."

"Your Highness... you?" Pei Bin looked at him, shocked.

"Moreover, after killing Commandery Princess Cang Yan, I am absolutely confident that I can escape. I can teleport away directly through space," Lin Yue said. "Plan with that as your basis."

In truth, even if he were to use Chaos Reopening, his real strength wasn't much higher than Commandery Princess Cang Yan's.

To storm into Tianxia Building, he was only on the level of a five-time continuous victor in the Seventh Layer.

But in reality, he had a Divine Artifact.

Of course, without the ability to utilize the Heaven and Earth Law, even with theoretical strength equivalent to the Eighth Layer, in reality, he could only display the prowess of the Seventh Layer.

However, he was already confident enough to Instant Kill Commandery Princess Cang Yan.

"Alright, I will immediately gather comprehensive intelligence on Commandery Princess Cang Yan," Pei Bin nodded and left at once.

Lin Yue sat quietly behind the desk, looking at the scroll of Commandery Princess Cang Yan. He suddenly shook his head slightly and casually picked it up and threw it to the side—

At the same time, a flame ignited, instantly engulfing the scroll, reducing it to ashes, disappearing without a trace.

"But..."

Lin Yue pondered, "Once Commandery Princess Cang Yan is killed, it will certainly cause a major upheaval. Before killing her, I should visit the Dawn Platform and see if the Eternal Night Twelve Holy Grade are completed."
