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

Lin Yue nodded silently.

Whether it was to help Baili Fengzhi recover her divine soul or to uncover the great secrets of the Demon Clan, he had to quickly achieve Harmonization.

"Are you confident?" the Second Prince asked.

"Even if I'm not, I have to be."

Lin Yue took a deep breath and said, "This time, my Dao Heart has made considerable progress, so there is some hope. If it doesn't work, I will try the Bloodline Path to Harmonization."

"Give it a try?" The Second Prince turned his hand and took out a black crystal pillar, handing it to him.

Lin Yue took it immediately.

He had tested his Dao Heart with this item before, which the Second Prince created using the path of Heart Phase, specifically to measure the Dao Heart Will.

He immediately gripped the black crystal pillar tightly, allowing his mind and will to immerse in it.

Inside the crystal pillar shrouded in black mist, as his will merged in, the black mist began to slowly recede.

Before long, about eighty percent of the black mist had dispersed.

"Oh?"

The Second Prince was somewhat surprised. "Your Dao Heart has progressed so much?"

The last time Lin Yue tested it, he had only dispelled forty percent of the black mist.

The Main Hall Master also looked at Lin Yue in astonishment.

He knew this disciple of his was not some reincarnation of a great figure, yet he had such an astonishing Dao Heart; truly remarkable.

Lin Yue was not surprised, only murmuring softly, "When I gleaned the ultimate path's embryonic form, my understanding of the world became clearer and more comprehensive, and my Dao Heart made progress. Moreover, the direction of my Dao Heart is to break free from shackles, leap out of the cage, no longer burdened by external enemies, oppressed by power, or trapped by hatred..."

The Second Prince and the Main Hall Master were taken aback upon hearing this.

Such a Dao Heart, with strength transforming to this level, not only solved Duanmu Yan, but also greatly reduced the threat of the Demon Clan. The direction of the Dao Heart had achievements, naturally causing a transformation.

Normally, even if someone had the same direction of Dao Heart as Lin Yue, it would be difficult for their Dao Heart to transform like his.

Because... their strength was not as absurd as his.

The weak are more easily trapped within the cage and shackled, unable to solve overly powerful external enemies, making achievements in the grand obsession of their Dao Heart direction difficult.

Yet with Lin Yue's strength, as a Great Cultivator, he could fight against the blessed Saint-level powerhouses. His wish for what the Dao Heart pursued was greatly achieved, naturally causing a transformation of the Dao Heart.

Even without the nourishment of inner heaven and earth's origins for his mind, his Dao Heart was stronger than many who had reached the Saint level.

"Your Dao Heart's transformation is so astounding, it's indeed possible to achieve perfect Dao Heart during the Great Cultivator period."

The Second Prince softly praised, then continued, "However, the closer the Dao Heart gets to perfect, the harder it becomes to progress. The Void Birth Thought, and the stage where the mind blooms with infinite light, have blocked too many people. You still need to strive."

Lin Yue nodded slightly and said, "I already have a direction."

The Main Hall Master looked at him, seemingly guessing something but did not say anything further.

The Second Prince smiled and hinted with a gentle voice, "Do what you want, don't worry too much."

Lin Yue nodded slowly.

"Your current strength is not that far behind the other princes anymore."

The Second Prince asked, "Do you want to try Sealing King now?"

"So early?" Lin Yue was taken aback.

The Second Prince said, "After Sealing King, there's also a major advantage, and it allows you to know the secrets about the throne."

Lin Yue was silent for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "Not for now."

He was currently still within the 'novice protection period' set by the Divine Emperor, leaving other princes unable to confront him openly.

In his upcoming plans, he also intended to make good use of this, naturally not sealing king so early.

Moreover, sealing king without achieving Harmonization would indeed be too astonishing.

Although he was curious about the secrets of the throne, there was no need to rush.

"I'm just asking."

The Second Prince laughed and said, "You better prepare well, and I'll think about what title to prepare for you."

"Speaking of which..." Lin Yue suddenly asked, puzzled, "I don't know Second Brother's title yet. It seems I've never heard of it?"

The titles of princes after sealing as prince, as a one-character king, are named after the state titles of the strong nations or great characters in the Human Clan history.

For instance, the Crown Prince was once called the first person in martial arts history, comparable to the Human Ancestor Wu Yan Clan, so his title was 'King Wu.'

If he ascended the throne, he would be Emperor Wu.

However, now it seemed the Crown Prince was indeed the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor, and naturally, his title should be 'King Wu.'

But Lin Yue had not heard of the Second Prince's title.

According to his guess about the Second Prince's true identity, the Second Prince's title should be...

"King Xia?" Lin Yue tentatively said.

Xia.

This word represented the first state's title after the unification of the Human Clan, the name of the first dynasty, of profound significance.

The Main Hall Master beside him sighed silently.

The Second Prince was silent for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly, shaking his head gently, "The Divine Emperor and the Crown Prince have also said my title should be 'Xia,' but..."

His smile carried a slightly cold flavor, "As I am now, I am unworthy of this title, so my title is merely the single word 'Heart.'"

Lin Yue was slightly taken aback.

The Second Prince murmured softly, "As long as the heart is present... it is enough."

...

...

After the Master and the Second Prince left, Lin Yue finally walked into Baili Fengzhi's room.

At that time, she had already changed out of her spirited martial artist robe, wearing a dark red long dress, her tied-up hair now draped over her shoulders, brewing tea in the room.

Her face appeared somewhat pale, her body frail as if she were a candle flickering in the wind, about to extinguish at any moment. Gone was the previous vigor of a female Martial Saint; instead, she resembled an ailing young woman with limited time. Her hands trembled slightly as she brewed tea, unable to hold the teapot steadily, and the floor nearby was strewn with broken teapots.
