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

"Fifteen years have passed..."

Lin Yue sighed, turning his hand to produce a jug of wine, slowly pouring it down.

—This was his grandfather's favorite wine when he was alive.

The wine shattered in the air, falling like drizzling rain.

When the jug was entirely emptied, Lin Yue stood quietly in mid-air, slowly closing his eyes, silently feeling the change of emotions in his heart.

The direction of his Dao Heart was to break free from the cage, to escape the shackles, and not be troubled by hatred, hindered by external enemies, nor pressured by power... At this moment, the long-held hatred in his life was resolved, and his Dao Heart naturally underwent a remarkable transformation.

A great cultivator, yet his enemy was an invincible prince just below the level of a proving Dao powerhouse. What a heavy shackle was this? And how firm a cage was it?

Such a cage, such shackles, were impossible to break free from with just the body of a great cultivator.

But...

If one could realize this impossible obsession and desire, the sea would become wider when the fish leaped, and the world seen when breaking free from the cage would be more expansive. The Dao Heart transformation would become even more dramatic.

"My Dao Heart..."

Lin Yue slowly opened his eyes, his gaze seemed almost tangible, faintly emitting a nearly invisible light.

This light appeared faint, yet it was profound and endless, as if sourced from the heart, seemingly infinite.

Even the void before him subtly twisted.

Without using a shred of power, just his will alone had already affected reality.

"Something's wrong..."

However, Lin Yue frowned deeply.

Immediately, he turned his hand to retrieve the black crystal pillar the Second Prince once gave him for testing the Dao Heart.

Within the crystal pillar, a black mist shrouded, mysterious and strange.

As his Dao Heart Will immersed in it, a sliver of light was instantly born within the crystal pillar, and the black mist began to dissipate at an astonishing speed.

This sliver of light grew increasingly brilliant, seemingly infinite, and the black mist inside the crystal pillar vanished in an instant.

In merely a moment.

The once black mist-shrouded black crystal pillar had completely transformed into a dazzlingly transparent crystal pillar.

"Infinite light is born, will affects reality..."

Lin Yue took a deep breath and murmured, "Indeed, my Dao Heart Will has already become perfect."

This was a transformation of the mind and will, which he sensed from the beginning.

After using the Second Prince's crystal pillar to test the Dao Heart for confirmation, he became even more certain.

However...

After confirming, Lin Yue's brows furrowed even deeper, "My Dao Heart is evidently perfect, so why can't it bear the Harmonization?"

When his Dao Heart had yet to transform into the Saint Heart, he foresaw that if he harmonized, the Dao Heart wouldn't be able to bear the Harmonization, and the Divine Soul would inevitably collapse.

Until his Dao Heart became the Saint Heart, he then perceived his Dao Heart was capable of bearing the Harmonization.

But when he grasped the Ultimate Path's rudiments, he again sensed that if he harmonized, even the Saint Heart level Dao Heart couldn't bear the Ultimate Path, which would surely lead to the collapse of the Divine Soul.

Although since the arrival of the Eternal Night, no one had ever mastered the Ultimate Path throughout ancient times, following the Second Prince's speculation—

Since the Ultimate Path requires such high standards, perhaps a perfect Dao Heart is needed to bear the Ultimate Path.

Thus, Lin Yue polished his Dao Heart as much as possible, striving to reach its perfection.

To this day, finally, his Dao Heart was perfect.

But...

At this moment, he discovered that even a perfect Dao Heart couldn't bear the Ultimate Path!

"How is this possible..."

For a moment, Lin Yue's heart trembled uncontrollably, "If even a perfect Dao Heart can't bear the Ultimate Path, how is the Ultimate Path to be harmonized?"

The union of Dao and heart had always been undoubtedly the most perfect method of harmonization throughout history.

Harmonization, harmonization of Dao.

The most crucial aspect is the union of Dao and heart, then using the heart to reflect on the heavens and earth, internal heaven and earth and external heaven and earth mirror each other, forming the two essences, which are the fundamentals of the Great Dao.

Even the Bloodline Path requires the union of Dao and heart, using the body to bear the internal heaven and earth. Themostup‑to‑dateversionisonM4VLEMP4YR.

But...

Even his perfect Dao Heart was unable to achieve the union of Dao and heart?

Unheard of.

A perfect Dao Heart was one of the key conditions for proving and transcending, yet a perfect Dao Heart couldn't even harmonize?

"What on earth is going on?"

Lin Yue couldn't comprehend it, nor were there any experiences or precedents to refer to.

Although he had long anticipated this Ultimate Path would undoubtedly be a remarkably tough and twisted road, he never expected it to be bafflingly difficult to this extent!

If even a perfect Dao Heart couldn't harmonize, how could one achieve Harmonization?

Since the arrival of the Eternal Night, throughout the tens of thousands of years of the human clan's existence, he was perhaps the first to grasp the Ultimate Path's rudiments, naturally, no one knew the secrets of the Ultimate Path.

Nor did anyone know... that the harmonization of the Ultimate Path was surprisingly difficult to this baffling extent!

After all, even during the Ancient Mythological Era, though quite a few from the ancient human clan were guided by the Ultimate Path, those who mastered its rudiments were extremely rare, let alone truly harmonizing or proving the Dao.

"I thought a perfect Dao Heart could achieve harmonization, but it seems it isn't enough..."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, gradually calming his heart realm, "No matter what, I've at least avenged myself. Even if I can't achieve harmonization, it's not too regrettable."

The path must still be walked.

But at least now, traversing this thorny path, he found it much easier.

Even if he couldn't successfully harmonize, he wouldn't feel regret.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

The Seventh Princess stepped out from the side, unable to help but ask, "You've avenged yourself, but why do you look so moody? Is there still a problem?"
