You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

He sighed, "But... that divine power was indeed terrifying. Before the Human Ancestor fell asleep, he also said he wasn't confident of success, and might be drawn into a dream by that divine power, not knowing when he would awaken."

Lin Yue's heart was stirred.

Was this the truth behind the Human Ancestor's disappearance for so many years?

A Proving Dao expert needed to avoid worldly affairs, and the Human Ancestor was attempting to refine that divine power in his slumber. No wonder he never showed up...

"Indeed, since then, the Human Ancestor hasn't appeared again."

The Main Hall Master said, "The next time news of the Human Ancestor was heard, it was during those years when the Great Yu Imperial Family was about to perish. Only then did I learn... the Great Yu Imperial Family had discovered the sleeping Human Ancestor long ago and had been trying to extract the Ancient Divine Power within him."

Lin Yue suddenly understood.

This was a match.

But it was still unclear how the Human Ancestor later awakened, and how there was only a remnant soul left?

"Do you know which Ancient God the divine power within the Human Ancestor came from?"

The Main Hall Master looked at Lin Yue.

"Not too sure..." Lin Yue shook his head, then said, "However, I heard Princess Yongning mention an Ancient God named 'Tai Chu,' the first and greatest. Could it be Tai Chu?"

After all, it was the Human Ancestor.

It was said that Proving Dao experts would try to absorb Ancient Divine Power, but no one has been said to sleep for so long after absorbing it.

Though not familiar with the Ancient Gods, he instinctively felt it should be Tai Chu.

"I think so too."

The Main Hall Master nodded slightly and said, "Back then, I also felt the power obtained by the Human Ancestor, and it was terrifying. Over these years, I've felt many kinds of Ancient Divine Power, but none could compare to it. Perhaps only the legendary power of Tai Chu could match it."

"Tai Chu..." Lin Yue still felt like he was listening to a mythical tale.

"The Great Yu Imperial Family studied the divine power within the Human Ancestor for a long time." The Main Hall Master examined Lin Yue and said, "It is said that the advent of Eternal Night is somehow related to Tai Chu, and perhaps the twelve Holy Grades favored by Eternal Night are also connected?"

Lin Yue's heart trembled.

The Ultimate Path inheritance he received came from a trace of Tai Chu's power.

Perhaps...

The supposed great benefits of the previous dynasty's imperial mausoleum might be able to help him?

Since his innate divine skill of secret listening deemed it a great benefit, it should indeed be helpful to him.

If it was really related to Tai Chu, it might even aid his Ultimate Path!

"In that case."

Lin Yue immediately nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Master to help conceal the aura of this drop of Ancestor Blood for me."

"Are you still planning to go to Eternal Night now?" The Main Hall Master frowned.

"Yes." Lin Yue nodded slightly, "Anyway, I will eventually have to go to Eternal Night. Recently, I've indeed hit a bottleneck and can't advance. It's better to go to Eternal Night early, as a form of training."

In the end, he added, "Master, rest assured. I am at least confident in protecting my life. Even if I don't obtain the Original Divine Blood, I can return."

The Main Hall Master pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for me to inquire about that Semi-Divine Artifact and exchange it for a treasure useful to you before you go to Eternal Night."

"Alright." Lin Yue nodded.

Immediately, he continued to check the other treasures left by the Demon Saints.

"Huh?"

Lin Yue suddenly pulled out a silver-white leaf and exclaimed, "Such a strong aura of the void... Master, do you know what this treasure is?"

"Oh? So there really is a Big Movement Order."

The Main Hall Master instantly smiled, "The Ancestors of the Demon Clan are indeed generous. This treasure is the Big Movement Order refined by the Void Demon Ancestor. Once activated, within a realm, you can freely traverse the void, arriving with a single thought. Although it can only be used once, unless faced with a means like the World Tree that isolates the heavens and earth, no one can stop you. Having this treasure in hand, your journey is much safer."

"What a treasure." Lin Yue smiled and put it away.

Then, he checked again and found as many as seven pieces of Dao Heart Treasure.

"This is the Great Wish Fruit."

The Main Hall Master's eyes lit up slightly and smiled, "This Top Grade Dao Heart Treasure can extend life by as much as five hundred years. The other pieces are Mid Grade Dao Heart Treasures. It seems the Demon Clan worried that your Divine Soul would truly collapse and specifically prepared them for you."

"Not bad." Lin Yue smiled as he put them away.

In the future, when Duke Heng's expiration is near, he can hand them over one by one to help extend his life.

But there's no rush now, as Duke Heng had taken a Mid Grade Dao Heart Treasure a few years ago, and there are at least two or three decades left.

After another search, he found as many as twelve Spiritual Treasures.

And each one was an ultimate Spiritual Treasure!

The key was that some of the Spiritual Treasures could be used in combination, more than doubling the strength of a typical Saint!

Although ultimate Spiritual Treasures were of little use to overpowering Saint experts, they were the pinnacle of Spiritual Treasures and undoubtedly precious. Generally, it's hard for a prince or princess to bring out so many ultimate Spiritual Treasures.

Only the Demon Clan, to deal with him, spared no expense like this.

"This is..."

Lin Yue suddenly turned his hand to take out a crystal-clear, semi-transparent token and asked in confusion, "Why does this token's aura feel vaguely familiar to me?"

The Main Hall Master examined it and said, "This is... a Primordial Spirit Token?"

"Primordial Spirit Token?" Lin Yue didn't quite understand.

"The Demon Clan's trick, a Primordial Spirit Token made from a split part of the Primordial Spirit. It only dissipates when the soul ceases to exist or the reincarnation takes place." The Main Hall Master frowned, "You said the token's aura felt familiar to you?"

"Yes." Lin Yue nodded, scrutinizing the Primordial Spirit Token, feeling something odd.

"How could it be?"

The Main Hall Master furrowed his brows and said, "Wasn't the Demon Clan confirming your location through the Yin Yang Heavenly Mechanism Jade given by Hong Xi?"

"That's the logic." Lin Yue nodded and said, "After cultivating the Primordial Spirit, I've never split it. This Primordial Spirit Token must have nothing to do with me, but why does it feel familiar?"

"Familiar?" The Main Hall Master furrowed his brow.

For a cultivator, the higher the realm, the more accurate the sense becomes.

Since there would be a sense of familiarity, it could not be without reason. There must be some kind of cause.

Why did a Primordial Spirit Token unrelated to Lin Yue evoke a sense of familiarity in him?

"Master."

Lin Yue suddenly said, "Could it be because I absorbed Xia Lie's soul?"

The Blood Jade of Myriad Spirits allowed him to absorb Xia Lie's bloodline and soul, enabling him to become a prince and gain the memories of Xiahou Shou's past life.

If there must be a reason, it seems only to be because of Xiahou Shou?

"But Xia Lie is already dead, and when Xiahou Shou reincarnated, the Primordial Spirit Token should have dissipated..."

The Main Hall Master suddenly understood Lin Yue's meaning and said softly, "You're saying... Xiahou Shou had a Second Primordial Spirit?"

"Yes." Lin Yue nodded slightly, "I'm just speculating, but what other reason could there be for the Primordial Spirit Token to feel familiar to me?"

The Second Primordial Spirit and the original self had a relationship like a clone and its body, but the Second Primordial Spirit was more independent.

If Xiahou Shou had a Second Primordial Spirit before reincarnation, perhaps it was either the original self or the Second Primordial Spirit that reincarnated.

Like the relationship between the Daoist Ancestor and the previous dynasty's State Preceptor, the Second Primordial Spirit or the original self could indeed go through reincarnation.

If the Xia Lie he absorbed was Xiahou Shou's reincarnated original self, and this Primordial Spirit Token was crafted by Xiahou Shou's Second Primordial Spirit, then his sense of familiarity could be understood!

The relationship between the Second Primordial Spirit and the original self was contradictory yet unified, seemingly one but independently existing.

"After Xiahou Shou went to the Demon Clan, our Human Clan indeed knows very little."

The Main Hall Master slightly frowned and said, "But such a top-secret method as the Second Primordial Spirit, which is exclusive to the Daoist Ancestor, Xiahou Shou actually knows?"

Lin Yue's heart was stirred, and he immediately said, "Since those events in Liangwang City, I've been suspecting... The Daoist Ancestor's Second Primordial Spirit, perhaps the previous dynasty's State Preceptor has betrayed the Human Clan and defected to the Demon Clan, maybe he taught it to Xiahou Shou?"
