You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?
Chapter 502 502: 64, Departure

"Whether you can successfully achieve Harmonization, you will naturally know when your Dao Heart is sufficient."

The Second Prince looked at him and softly said, "This hurdle is indeed very difficult, and for you, it is indeed the greatest challenge. If you succeed, it will be much simpler for you to achieve Proving and Transcending in the future than for other princes."

Lin Yue was thoughtful.

It was said... that if not for the Heavenly Reversal Path, one would almost have no hope of achieving Proving and Transcending.

It seemed that the Ultimate Path made Proving and Transcending easier as well?

"Actually, I envy you."

The Second Prince looked at him and softly sighed, "My elder brother and I tried for a very long time, failed countless times, and could not truly touch that final point. Yet, you were on the right path from the beginning, truly a great fortune..."

Lin Yue understood that the Second Prince was speaking of the Ultimate Path.

"By the way, let me ask you something."

The Second Prince suddenly said, "When you obtained the Phoenix Crown and the Divine Artifact Battle Saber in Beiyuan Village, what treasures were taken from the avatar in Beiyuan Mountain?"

"Beiyuan Mountain?" Lin Yue was a little puzzled, but still said, "The first item is the Landscape Map of a Thousand Miles, the second is the Eye of Ancient God, the third is a Black Lotus condensed of Heaven's wrath, and the fourth is a Creation Lotus Seed..."

"Creation Lotus Seed?"

At this, the Second Prince interrupted him and said, "Was it more than thirty years ago?"

Lin Yue nodded slightly and said, "It should be the Sixteenth Prince."

The Second Prince pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled, "As expected..."

He did not say much, only said, "The sixth item is the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin, which I know, so there's no need to mention the rest."

Lin Yue understood, the Second Prince surely knew about his mother's affairs, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I don't ask about my mother's matters. What about the Sixteenth Prince? Is he really dead?"

"Of course, he is truly dead, but..."

At this, the Second Prince did not continue, just shook his head lightly and said, "I know you want to ask, and there's no harm in telling you, it was the Crown Prince who killed the Sixteenth Prince, so there's nothing you need to investigate further."

The Crown Prince killed him?

Lin Yue was a little surprised, but since the Second Prince said so, he certainly wouldn't inquire further.

"Don't think too much."

The Second Prince softly said, "Many confusions in this world only exist because you have not reached high enough. Once your realm is sufficient, you will naturally understand."

Lin Yue nodded.

Then, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there any good ways to hone the Dao Heart through proficiency in the Heart Phase, my elder brother?"

"Is there any good way?"

The Second Prince shook his head with a smile and said, "I can only say, observe more, experience more, think more... The reason why you are asked to travel throughout the Human World is because of the importance of the Human World, so remember, before being a cultivator, you are foremost 'human.'"

"Human..." Lin Yue nodded slightly.

"I've said what I need to say, and I should leave." The Second Prince said, "I'll allow you to ask one last question."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "There is indeed a question I've always wanted to ask, but never had the chance."

"Let's hear it." The Second Prince looked at him.

"After I seized the bloodline and soul of the Seventeenth Prince, I also gained his Innate Divine Power."

Lin Yue cautiously said, "You probably also know that this Innate Divine Power is related to life recovery. But there's also a hidden ability to it, and the messages within the bloodline only warned me to never activate it, though I still don't know its exact purpose."

The Second Prince smiled and said, "Do you know the essence of Innate Divine Power?"

"What?" Lin Yue asked in confusion.

"It is the gift of the Ancient Gods."

The Second Prince said, "In Ancient Times, there were quite a few with Innate Divine Powers. Now, almost all the Ancient Gods have fallen, leaving at most a vestige of their Divine Power, so now only one in a billion might awaken Innate Divine Power."

Lin Yue realized.

The gift of the Ancient Gods?

"The Innate Divine Powers of the princes all come from the Divine Emperor."

The Second Prince continued, "The Innate Divine Powers prepared by the Divine Emperor for each prince are the most suitable. So tell me, what is your Innate Divine Power called?"

"Nine Deaths Without Self," Lin Yue said.

"Oh, that's what it is? No wonder..." The Second Prince nodded slightly and said, "Since it is Nine Deaths Without Self, you'd best not think of activating it. The cost is considerable but difficult to accept."

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly, with a flick of his hand, a slightly ethereal feather appeared in his hand.

Then, the Second Prince gently flicked his fingertips, and the ethereal feather floated into the space between Lin Yue's eyebrows.

Lin Yue only felt as though this ethereal feather floated into the sea of awareness between his brows, now drifting within his sea of awareness.

The Second Prince advised, "When you activate the true power of Nine Deaths Without Self, this Heart Feather might save you from the cost. But it needs time, so be careful."

"This Nine Deaths Without Self, after all..." Lin Yue couldn't help but ask.

The Second Prince fell silent.

...

Day by day passed, and Lin Yue did not hurry to leave Di Hong City, but quietly made preparations.

On this day—

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Six continuous sounds like a giant bell exploded in Lin Yue's mind, everything stopped, all sounds ceased, and the grand and majestic bell echoed endlessly in his mind.

"Sixth Ring?"

Lin Yue immediately listened carefully.

The next moment, a faint and ethereal voice softly spoke.

"Do you know? The people of Liangwang City can enter Great Yong and receive various pieces of information. The key reason lies in Eternal Night Mountain. Eternal Night Mountain was established by a powerful human who achieved Proving and Transcending, at least a Great Cultivator, and only those yearning for the Demon Clan might receive an invitation."
