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

It was as if, without the Inner Heaven and Earth, he devised a Cultivation Technique suitable for it out of thin air.

Actually, it was not that difficult originally.

Because, even if one couldn't create it themselves, they could rely on the experiences of predecessors.

For example, the Demon Clan, which possessed a Cultivation Technique from their inherited bloodline, didn't need to worry about this.

For example, the Duke Heng's bloodline was the same.

Even if others couldn't, they could still find predecessors and ancestors who had mastered the same path, having a reference in Cultivation Technique of the same path, making it not that difficult to create on their own.

For example, the Taiyin Path, surely there were predecessors who, with the Saint Heart Dao Union, developed an Inner Heaven and Earth centered on the Taiyin Path, and then used the Power of Taiyin to create a suitable Cultivation Technique, which was much simpler than creating from thin air.

Later generations could also refer to the Cultivation Techniques of the Taiyin Path left by their predecessors, making only slight modifications at most.

But the problem was—

Lin Yue mastered the Ultimate Path, with no predecessors.

He could only devise a Cultivation Technique suitable for the Inner Heaven and Earth of the Ultimate Path out of thin air.

Without even an Inner Heaven and Earth, he could only imagine and devise based on the embryonic form of the Ultimate Path, which was the most difficult.

The three checkpoints of the Bloodline Path—

A compatible physique, Spirit and Body Unity, a suitable Cultivation Technique.

Actually, none of these checkpoints were simple.

Lin Yue was also lucky to have the Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron left by the Crown Prince, and the Primordial Divine Power in the Empress's body, to transform his physique with the Primordial Divine Power.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how to complete just this first checkpoint.

Spirit and Body Unity was also extremely dangerous, dissipating the Divine Soul to integrate with the physical body, at the risk of scattering into thin air.

And devising a Cultivation Technique of such difficulty from scratch was even more incredibly difficult.

"The Ultimate Path, indeed, is close to a dead-end in difficulty."

The Second Prince mused thoughtfully for a moment and said, "For the Spirit and Body Unity Cultivation Method, you can directly learn from those of the past. There are quite a few Spirit and Body Unity Cultivation Methods passed down through Human Clan history, though the success rates vary."

"What is the highest success rate?" Lin Yue couldn't help but ask.

"Fifty percent," the Second Prince said, "It was created two thousand seven hundred years ago by the Daoist Human Immortal 'Manifestation of the Heavenly Sovereign.' The Imperial Family's secret reserves hold this legacy, you can take a look."

"Only fifty percent?" Lin Yue frowned slightly.

"That's already quite high."

The Second Prince shook his head and said, "Spirit and Body Unity allows one to achieve an undying body before Harmonization. Many have tried, achieving a fifty percent success rate; if it were during the era of the King of Jing Country, his self-created Spirit and Body Unity Cultivation Method would have had only a thirty percent success rate."

Lin Yue remained silent.

Saints all achieved Spirit and Body Unity, their bodies like Spiritual Bodies, capable of recovery as long as the Primordial Spirit remained intact.

Attempting Spirit and Body Unity before Harmonization bore the risk of the Divine Soul dissipating.

After all, Great Cultivators didn't have an Inner Heaven and Earth to anchor their Divine Soul.

A fifty percent success rate seemed high, with one in two succeeding.

But from another perspective, it was a fifty percent chance of the soul scattering into thin air.

A death rate of fifty percent was enough to make most people in the world hesitate to try.

"You have a unique vision with the Ultimate Path, you might try improving upon a more suitable Spirit and Body Unity Cultivation Method."

The Second Prince suggested, "There are many Spirit and Body Unity Cultivation Methods in the archives of the Imperial Family and the Ancestor Hall for reference. In any case, it's not urgent at the moment."

Lin Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand."

Transforming the physique was simple.

The Spirit and Body Unity Cultivation Method needed improvement to a higher success rate.

A Cultivation Technique suitable for the Inner Heaven and Earth of the Ultimate Path required a slow and steady approach.

"Here you go."

The Second Prince suddenly turned his hand to take out two Jade Tokens, handing them to Lin Yue.

"This is..." Lin Yue was somewhat puzzled.

"These are the Inner Heaven and Earth Cultivation Techniques suitable for me and the Crown Prince."

The Second Prince said, "Although neither the Crown Prince nor I have mastered the true Ultimate Path, we have grasped part of it, which might offer some inspiration for your own creation and deduction."

"Thank you, Second Brother." Lin Yue gratefully accepted the two Jade Tokens.

"Also, you haven't challenged the Ninth Layer of Tianxia Building yet, have you?" the Second Prince said, "Your strength is sufficient now, go and challenge the Ninth Layer. It might offer some help."

"Tianxia Building?"

Lin Yue was surprised.

He had not challenged it again since passing the Eighth Layer years ago.

After all, without using a Divine Artifact in Tianxia Building, he couldn't move past the Ninth Layer before grasping the embryonic form of the Ultimate Path, so he used the Eighth Layer as a place to communicate with Baili Fengzhi.

Now, it was enough.

"Can Tianxia Building help deduce a Cultivation Technique? Can it help deduce a Cultivation Technique for the Inner Heaven and Earth of the Ultimate Path?" Lin Yue suddenly asked.

"It is helpful, but you still must rely on yourself."

The Second Prince shook his head and said, "The deduction method in Tianxia Building doesn't create something from nothing, it puts you in a state akin to Sudden Enlightenment, enabling you to perform at your best, but it still depends on your capability."

Lin Yue nodded slightly, not disappointed.

He didn't hold much hope to begin with, just asking out of curiosity. C&at^ch^ the f$o.rm@a#t@te!d- ve-r!sion% at M|V|@L^E@M*_.PYR.

"However, it can indeed save you a lot of time, so you should enter the Ninth Layer soon."

The Second Prince advised.

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "The Demon Clan surely knows I've mastered the Ultimate Path, maybe they'll be more frantic than before, and that hidden Demon God..."

"There's no need to worry."

The Second Prince said, "The hidden Demon God doesn't dare to act, if he does, he probably won't even get a chance to harm you before he's already dead."

"Oh?" Lin Yue was slightly surprised.

"Although the Crown Prince cannot see you, I'm watching over you," the Second Prince smiled and said, "And the Demon God knows this, so he won't dare to return to the lands, otherwise, a single thought from the Crown Prince could destroy him."

Lin Yue began to understand.

A Proving Dao expert transcended heaven and earth, the Demon God, having jumped out of the world, concealed every trace left in the world.

But as soon as he acted, he would have to return to the world.

The Second Prince was observing him, ready to notify the Crown Prince for immediate neutralization.

"Did the Demon God really kill the Prince?" Lin Yue asked.

"The Crown Prince must use the Eye of Heaven to observe, and only then can he use heavenly power for instantaneous destruction."

The Second Prince shook his head and said, "He cannot calculate the location of the hidden Demon God, nor can he constantly monitor every prince and princess."

"It isn't clear why the Demon God would kill the Prince?" Lin Yue wondered.

"Hard to say, but... maybe for the Divine Power within the Prince?"

The Second Prince said, "The Demon God clearly had his eyes on the Prince for a long time, but because of the excessive Demon Seeds within him, he didn't have the certainty to kill him, so he never took action. He must have noticed today that the Prince's Demon Seeds all vanished before he struck."

He shook his head slightly and said, "Because the one who extinguished the Demon Seeds was you, even the Crown Prince didn't foresee that."

Lin Yue was pensive.

He suddenly shook his head and said, "In light of this, the Demon God's means of concealment are not far from those who defy the mysteries of heaven."

After all, the special nature of defying heaven's mysteries was merely the primordial favor bestowed upon all Ancient Human Clans by Taichu.

Even among the Ancient Human Clan, those able to Prove Dao were exceedingly rare.

"It's quite similar, but there are still differences."

The Second Prince said, "For those who defy the mysteries of heaven, Heavenly Dao can never observe their existence, anytime, anyhow, even if you act, the Crown Prince remains oblivious, and even if he uses the Eye of Heaven to observe, he can only see the effects you've caused, not you, whereas the Demon God must return to the world once he acts. As long as the Crown Prince uses the Eye of Heaven, he can still see."

He added, "However, the Demon God's ability to hide all traces is something those who defy the mysteries of heaven cannot achieve."

Lin Yue, upon hearing this, fell silent.

After a brief quiet, he suddenly said, "The Crown Prince's public declaration today was also to make the Demon God aware of my threat, to lure him to reveal himself."

"Indeed."

The Second Prince nodded gently and added, "He also wanted to see your strength firsthand and assess the potential of the Ultimate Path."

He sighed, "After all, unless he observes you with his own eyes, the Crown Prince can see nothing of your existence, even using the Eye of Heaven."

"Assess potential..."

Lin Yue was silent for a moment and then asked, "Has the Crown Prince decided?"

The Second Prince smiled and said, "He's willing to take a gamble, provided you can succeed in Harmonization."
