You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 285 - 54. Eternal Night Holy Grade_2

The awakening of memories from past lives usually happened bit by bit.

However, it might also be triggered, causing a large segment of past life memories to awaken at once, although such occurrences were quite rare.

Naturally, after reincarnation, the divine soul and physical body both experienced changes, so the Prince of the Xiahong Clan could not instantly regain his former strength based on how much of his past life memory had awakened.

It required a process of adaptation and integration, and moreover, there were past inadequacies that needed to be addressed.

This prince managed to progress so quickly, it seemed he adapted swiftly.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue felt very calm inside.

He knew very well that he did not have the assistance of past life memories, the key was the Human Ancestor's guidance and the tempering by the Eternal Night Illusion Realm.

Moreover, he had previously used the Eternal Night Illusion Realm to forcibly extend the effect of the Martial Art Shell by twelve times, equivalent to enjoying the benefit twelve times at once; how could his progress not be swift?

More than that, upon learning about the absurd feat of Xiahong Feng, who was likely his biological father, killing a Demon Saint in his twenties, he had little to boast about.

"There are still some mutant beast materials left unverified, so I'll continue."

Lin Yue did not waste time and continued to explain the verification of the remaining mutant beast materials.

It took a full half an hour before it was concluded.

"In conclusion, the value of these mutant beast materials is comparable to a seventh-grade Immortal Pill."

Lin Yue casually placed down the last piece of mutant beast material, glanced over everyone, and said plainly, "Therefore, I have made such a judgment regarding these three, does anyone have any objections?"

The crowd remained silent; neither the officials overseeing the trial nor the spectators said a word.

From what this Seventeenth Prince just stated, the value of these materials was definitely no less than that of a seventh-grade Immortal Pill!

Even if additional severity were added to judging the crime of private trading, it would be quite normal.

"Good, since no one has objections."

Lin Yue slightly nodded and turned to look at the Imperial Master, saying, "What do you think, Imperial Master?"

"Let's just judge it this way," the Imperial Master gently nodded, casting a glance at the three people below who had already given up in despair, and said, "This way, I suppose none of the parties would have any complaints."

...

Once the crowd dispersed, only the Imperial Master, Lin Yue, and Baili Fengzhi behind him remained inside the Bright Mirror Hall.

"Seventeenth Prince, I couldn't find any faults with your oversight assessment."

The Imperial Master spoke softly, "When I submit the case report tomorrow, I will present it to the upper levels for evaluation and will award Your Highness two thousand Earth Merits."

Lin Yue revealed a slight smile and said, "Thank you, Imperial Master."

The highest award for the first oversight assessment was two thousand Earth Merits; since the Imperial Master was willing to award two thousand, he was evidently very satisfied with Lin Yue's judgment.

"No need to thank me."

The Imperial Master said calmly, "It is what the Seventeenth Prince deserves."

She paused, saying, "Besides, as the Military Leader of the Dawn Platform, I can also award Your Highness five thousand Big Merits for this accomplishment."

Lin Yue, not standing on ceremony, then asked, "I wonder if there are any treasures at the Dawn Platform that greatly aid martial cultivation?"

The Imperial Master shook her head, saying, "Your Highness is a prince, also a disciple of the Main Hall Master of the Ancestor Hall; how could the Dawn Platform compare to the Imperial Family and the Ancestor Hall?"

"Indeed."

Lin Yue slightly nodded, not feeling disappointed.

He already anticipated this, it was just a probing question.

"However, my Dawn Platform often forays into exploring the Eternal Night, treasures there are not scarce," the Imperial Master said, "Some rare products found only in the Eternal Night, Your Highness can visit our Dawn Platform's Treasure Pavilion to have a look."

Lin Yue's heart stirred, and he tentatively asked, "I have heard of various treasures in the Eternal Night that are hailed as Holy Grade; does the Dawn Platform have them?"

The Imperial Master slightly raised her eyebrows, saying, "Your Highness certainly knows how to choose; within the vast Eternal Night, treasures worthy of being called Holy Grade only number twelve varieties, does Your Highness want them?"

Lin Yue had already researched these beforehand and immediately said, "I am somewhat interested."

"In our Dawn Platform's Treasure Pavilion, we currently have eight kinds of Holy Grade treasures."

The Imperial Master sized up Lin Yue, saying, "Some Holy Grades could indeed be quite beneficial for Your Highness, if Your Highness can present sufficient merit, I permit Your Highness to take these Holy Grade treasures from the Treasure Pavilion first."

"Eight kinds?" Lin Yue rejoiced inside.

The secret of the Sixth Ring Stage said that those shrouded in mystery can enter the Imperial Mausoleum of the previous dynasty if they possess the Emperor Yu Token, and if they bring the twelve Holy Grades from the Eternal Night, they can receive great benefits.

Although he was still unsure about what those shrouded in mystery were or where to obtain the Emperor Yu Token, he definitely had to give it a try.

Moreover, after researching the twelve Holy Grades from the Eternal Night, he found that some of them would be indeed useful to him.

"Does Your Highness really want them?" the Imperial Master asked.

"Yes," Lin Yue nodded, saying, "but I lack sufficient merit."

The Imperial Master contemplated for a moment and said, "I can have the Treasure Pavilion reserve one of each Holy Grade for Your Highness for ten years; after ten years, if Your Highness still hasn't accumulated enough merit, then there will be no further options."

Given her position at the Dawn Platform, a reservation of ten years was no more than a minor matter.

It was also a gesture of goodwill.

"That's more than enough, thank you, Military Leader," Lin Yue nodded.

"The second oversight assessment is estimated to take a few more months."

The Imperial Master said, "During this period, the Seventeenth Prince may come to the Dawn Platform if desired, or not should that be the case."

"I see," Lin Yue nodded, "I take my leave."

...

After leaving the Dawn Platform, Lin Yue habitually visited the Ancestor Hall, not missing an hour of daily cultivation at the Grotto Heaven.

At this rate, it wouldn't take two months to cultivate to the Four Symbols Peak.

In the meantime, he also challenged the 'Ninth Layer Heaven Test' designed specifically by the Ancestor Hall for talented disciples.

The Ninth Layer Heaven Test, similar to the Prince's Test, only placed more emphasis on martial arts.

Aside from special assessments that focused on the mind and pure technique, it was usually comparable in difficulty to the Ninth Layer of the Tianxia Building.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

However, the rewards were slightly richer than those for comparable difficulty in the Prince's Test.

Given Lin Yue's current strength, he vigorously charged through the Third Layer Heaven all in one attempt.

But the Fourth Layer Heaven was very tough, and it currently held no hope for him.

At least, he had to reach the Four Symbols Peak and perfect his martial arts true skill for a chance.

Subsequently, Lin Yue went to the Scripture Collection Hall in the Ancestor Hall.

His master required him to clear the Fourth Layer of the Tianxia Building with five consecutive victories before breaking the Three Talents Heaven Barrier.

Thus, apart from needing his martial arts realm to reach the stage of true self-perfection, he had to create his own ultimate martial arts true skill and an equivalent body foundation to a Martial Arts Grandmaster Perfection.

For the former two, he already had clues and was working diligently.

However, the equivalent body foundation of a Martial Arts Grandmaster Perfection was extremely challenging.

Simply put, it meant he needed to cultivate a body refining technique on par with the supreme secret transmission of the Demon Clan—either the Fire Phoenix Divine Body or the True Dragon Divine Body—to reach such a level.

Of course, the prerequisite was based on him having learned the Mind Forbidden Technique, in the capacity as a Xiahong Clan Prince practicing the Ancient God's Way.

Otherwise, the requirements would be even higher.

Purely talking about the foundation, even Baili Fengzhi, who cultivated the perfect Fire Phoenix Divine Body, was slightly inferior to a Martial Arts Grandmaster Perfection body.

After all, she hadn't practiced the Mind Forbidden Technique.

"The Human Clan's strongest body refining techniques still have quite a gap compared to the supreme inheritance of the Demon Clan..."

After perusing the Scripture Collection Hall for a while, Lin Yue reluctantly confirmed this point.

Daoist bodily sanctification perfection, the Buddhist Leakless Golden Body... and even the strongest Original Demon Body from the legend of the Demon Path were all considered the top tier of Human Clan body refining inheritances, yet even mastered to the extreme, they fell notably short of the foundation of a Martial Arts Grandmaster Perfection.

After all, it was a physical body nurtured by Heaven and Earth Law, crossing such a large realm was quite challenging.

"Either practice these, then find a way to locate those Heaven and Earth Treasures capable of transforming physique to enhance combat power, thus also realizing a bit of hope."

Lin Yue thought to himself, but that too was challenging.

At least, he had searched through the treasure catalogs of the Xiahong Clan and the Ancestor Hall, and hadn't discovered such Heaven and Earth Treasures.

"There's no rush."

Lin Yue put down the book in his hand, "First, let's hone the martial arts realm and the true skill to perfection, then find a way to seek those Heaven and Earth Treasures to enhance combat power, or perhaps create a body refining cultivation method of my own."

...

Half a month swiftly passed.

On this day—

"Your Highness, your Prince's Mansion has been completed, the Shangqing Sect has sent word that the Immortal Bixu Yuanjun is already waiting for you at the Prince's Mansion."
