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

By the lake within the mansion, Lin Yue sat quietly on a smooth stone, holding a fishing rod while his mind immersed itself in the illusion realm of the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin.

In the night, the roars of beasts echoed through the heavens and earth, booming sounds were incessant, mountains collapsed, waves billowed, and the ground undulated like the ocean's surface.

Moreover, beams of anomalous light shot into the sky, repeatedly triggering the earth to tremble.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

The anomalous lights dissipated, the waves gradually calmed, and the booms and beast roars slowly faded away.

The void rippled slightly, and Lin Yue's figure appeared out of thin air within the tranquil valley.

Before a bonfire in the valley, the Human Ancestor dressed in animal skins was roasting meat as usual, waiting for him, with his smiling double pupils casting a glance at him, he asked, "Finished killing?"

"Mm."

Lin Yue nodded, sat down by the bonfire, and said, "Dealing with Holy Beasts with Divine Beast Bloodline is quite tricky. With my current strength, handling five at once is my limit, and that's only if they don't flee."

"That's already quite absurd." The Human Ancestor chuckled softly and said, "You haven't even harmonized yet, and you possess such strength, it's simply beyond imagination. The Ultimate Path is indeed terrifying."

"Although the Holy Beasts with Divine Beast Bloodline are comparable to the Human Clan's defying saints, they ultimately don't understand arrays, nor do they have Immortal Pills for recovery."

Lin Yue gently shook his head, "If it were five Human Clan defying saints, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to kill even one."

His current strength was equivalent to an all-around top-level defying saint, allowing him to kill all five Holy Beasts if they didn't flee.

But the Human Clan was much smarter; unless he used a Divine Artifact or Semi-Divine Artifact, he wouldn't be able to kill even one.

"Array..."

The Human Ancestor sighed, "I've never seen what is called an array. The means of protecting the clans rely on the techniques of the Inner Heaven and Earth Domain. The Cultivation of later generations is indeed prosperous."

Saying this, he handed a skewer of roasted meat to Lin Yue.

"Other things aside, life in Great Yong is indeed much better than Eternal Night, and cultivators have quite a few methods." Lin Yue took the roasted meat, took a bite, and said, "In the future, after you regains your physical body, I'll take you to see. You've been eating roasted meat here every day, without even good seasoning and only able to roast. Then I'll let you try the best cooking in Di Hong City."

"Oh? Then I'll look forward to it." The Human Ancestor said with a hint of craving in his tone.

Lin Yue nodded and then added, "However, until now, I haven't found any trace of your last remnant soul. Perhaps... it's not in Great Yong?"

Over the years, he had traveled almost all over Great Yong but had not sensed the Human Ancestor's remnant soul.

If it wasn't in Great Yong, it might only be in Eternal Night?

"Take your time; I'm not in a hurry." The Human Ancestor said, "Your affairs take precedence. Find it after you successfully harmonize."

Lin Yue shook his head helplessly and said, "No one has ever harmonized into sainthood with the Ultimate Path. It seems that it requires a perfect Dao Heart, so I'm not confident, I can only try my best."

The Human Ancestor nodded and said, "Trying your best is enough."

...

By the lakeside in reality.

Lin Yue slowly opened his eyes, contemplatively gazing at the lake surface, "Harmonization..."

"To help Fengzhi recover, I need to obtain Xiahou Shou's memories from the Harmonization Stage, for which I must harmonize as soon as possible."

"If it's as expected, and the only thing I'm missing for harmonization is a Dao Heart, then the most vital thing at present is a perfect Dao Heart."

"The world is like a cage, the vicissitudes of life are like shackles."

"What I find most intolerable is the Twelfth Prince. If I can kill him, thereby avenging and releasing my hatred, my heart will be clear, and my Dao Heart will transform once more..."

"In that case, killing him... must be set as the primary goal."

Lin Yue contemplated silently.

"With my current strength, wanting to kill the Twelfth Prince is definitely insufficient."

"Even in a solo fight, I'm no match for the Twelfth Prince, not to mention he has help..."

He had investigated the Twelfth Prince many times long ago.

The reincarnation of the Myriad Poison Demon Ancestor, whose Heart Poison was his self-created Cultivation Technique, perfectly aligned with the Daos, and a standout among the defying saints.

Whether or not he possessed a Semi-Divine Artifact was uncertain.

But he had undoubtedly refined the power of the Ancient Gods.

During the campaign against Sky Cloud Country, the Twelfth Prince had once used Divine Power, annihilating all life within a hundred miles, thus slaying the vice king of Sky Cloud Country and seizing all inherited treasures.

Back then, when the Twelfth Prince set up an array to trap him and the Seventh Princess, he didn't use the power of the Ancient Gods, probably because the power of the Gods was too strong and hard to control.

At that time, the Twelfth Prince also aimed to seize the Phoenix Crown and not to kill people since using Divine Power, accidentally killing him or the Seventh Princess, would mean endless sin. Though the Twelfth Prince might not die on the spot, he would suffer a painful price.

"Maybe he didn't have a Semi-Divine Artifact back then, but whether he has one now is another question. But a prince who's lived for several hundred years couldn't possibly be without a trump card..."

Lin Yue pondered, "To kill the Twelfth Prince, I must prepare as thoroughly as possible."

"First, I must attempt to refine the weakened Taichu Divine Power within the Empress."

"Second, the Twelfth Prince's Poison Skill is too terrifying, and I have no confidence in resisting it. I must learn the 'Heart Medicine Detoxification' technique from the Seventh Princess. Fortunately, I've grasped the prototype of the Ultimate Path, so it shouldn't be hard to learn."

"Third, the Third Prince has said he would surely help the Twelfth Prince. I also need to find someone to restrain the Third Prince."

"Fourth, try to eliminate the Twelfth Prince's aides in advance. Direct subordinates from the Twelfth Prince Mansion aren't much to worry about, but he is closely allied with the Demon Path's White Bone Palace, and the old ancestor of the White Bone Palace is also a defying saint, secretly harboring the disposition of the Seventh Ancestor of the Demon Path, so they must be eliminated in advance."
