But whether it is the Divine Emperor or the Human Emperor, both hold the Human Ancestor in the highest reverence, and this is without question.
Even the Di Hong Palace, which symbolizes the spirit of the Xiahong clan, is a full ten feet lower than the main hall of the Ancestor Hall, a testament to this reverence.
"Xiahong clan..."
The phantom of the Human Ancestor sized up Lin Yue, and with a slight nod said, "Indeed extraordinary, you even have a hint of the flavor of the Ancient Gods."
"Do the Ancient Gods really exist?" Lin Yue asked in astonishment.
The phantom of the Human Ancestor paused, his expression turning contemplative, then shook his head and said, "I can’t remember clearly, but they should exist. Judging from this, using the bloodline of the Xiahong clan as a guide and gradually transforming towards the Ancient Gods, while also cultivating other paths, must surely be one of the greatest potential cultivation paths in heaven and earth."
Lin Yue nodded silently.
From the secrets he had acquired, this seemed to be true.
The Xiahong clan’s bloodline itself was actually a primer for the Ancient God’s Way; the purer the bloodline, the faster one could cultivate, and even if not pure, one could still walk the Ancient God’s Way as long as they could awaken it.
Moreover, on the basis of the Ancient God’s Way, it is possible to concurrently cultivate the paths of the Three Religions, the Demon Path, the Martial Arts, etc., naturally having the greatest potential.
"You are the son of the Divine Emperor, could you take me to meet the Divine Emperor?"
The phantom of the Human Ancestor looked at Lin Yue with some anticipation.
"Senior, I... cannot see the Divine Emperor," Lin Yue said, shaking his head slightly.
"Why?" the phantom of the Human Ancestor asked in confusion. "You are father and son, how can you be unable to meet?"
Lin Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "The situation is rather complicated, but indeed I cannot see the Divine Emperor, and I also do not recommend that other princes become aware of your existence, Senior."
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Currently, Di Hong City is in chaos, and the struggles among the princes are fierce, especially since the princes are reincarnations of great figures from all eras past to present, including many who are ruthless and merciless."
The phantom of the Human Ancestor showed a flash of realization.
He was silent for a while before shaking his head slightly and said, "It is not unexpected; such was also the case within the clans in ancient times. As soon as life became stable, the clansmen would shift from seeking survival against the outside world to internecine struggles; throughout the ages... indeed only the human heart has never changed."
"That’s exactly it," Lin Yue said softly.
The phantom of the Human Ancestor sized up Lin Yue and asked, "Your cultivation is so low, haven’t you been practicing for long? How about the cultivation of the other princes?"
"Practicing for a little over a year."
Lin Yue continued, "As for the other princes, I’m not too clear, but they should all be above the level of Great Cultivators."
Great Cultivators were only subordinates to the princes, and Duke Heng’s household alone had about ten or so Great Cultivators, let alone the princes themselves.

Thus, it’s highly possible that the princes’ ability surpasses that of Great Cultivators.
"What is a Great Cultivator?" the phantom of the Human Ancestor asked in confusion.
Lin Yue explained, "I’m not aware of the cultivation system from ancient times; I’ve just broken through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, mastering the attribute of the Taiyang. A Great Cultivator is at the level of the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, recognizing the laws of Heaven and Earth."
"Ah, I see," the Human Ancestor said, enlightened. "Then you indeed fall far behind them."
Lin Yue had nothing to say.
Without further ado, he clasped his hands and said, "I have heard that the Human Ancestor is the pioneer of the Martial Arts route, known as the Martial Ancestor. Could Senior possibly give me some guidance in Martial Arts? If Senior is willing, I would be extremely grateful and will surely repay the favor."
His willingness to speak and explain so patiently was, in addition to respecting the Human Ancestor, naturally also in hopes of receiving guidance from the Human Ancestor.
"Cultivating for a year, and already achieving this realm in Martial Arts, indeed not bad."
The phantom of the Human Ancestor took one look at Lin Yue, then with a smile and a shake of his head said, "If you wish to learn, I will teach you; there’s no need for any repayment. Any promising descendants of my Human Clan, I will wholeheartedly instruct."
Lin Yue was taken aback.
It was said that the Human Ancestor had created Martial Arts to teach the entire Human Clan, giving them something to rely on against the dangers of Eternal Night.
Any member of the Human Clan with the aptitude for the path of the Martial Cultivator, the Human Ancestor would teach the Martial Arts without reservation.
Now it seemed, the legend was true.
"Thank you, Senior," Lin Yue immediately said, clasping his hands in thanks.
"However..."
The phantom of the Human Ancestor said, "My memories are somewhat disordered, and I don’t know where they come from. These memories are also about Martial Arts, and they have undergone many changes from the Martial Arts I created back then."
"Changes?" Lin Yue asked, puzzled.
"Don’t worry, it has become more perfect."
The phantom of the Human Ancestor smiled, musing, "Back when I created Martial Arts, I took many wrong paths, and the foundation of my body was severely damaged. Even though I forced myself to continue down that path, it was extremely difficult, and it was not a perfect way. But now, the Martial Arts in my memory is extremely perfect."
Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.
Indeed.
Although the Human Ancestor was great, being the pioneer, his role was significant, but the pioneer might not necessarily be the one to develop and glorify it.
"I only understand Martial Arts. Show me the Martial Arts you are currently cultivating," said the phantom of the Human Ancestor.
"Alright."
Lin Yue nodded slightly and immediately began practicing in the secret chamber.
The chamber was built for cultivation purposes, spacious and reinforced with an Array Barrier, making it quite sturdy.
After Lin Yue had practiced the Killing Techniques of the earth, wind, water, and fire attributes each once, and then once more the Thirteen Flames, he stopped.
After watching, the Human Ancestor nodded lightly and said, "Your foundation isn’t bad, the four-phase Killing Techniques of earth, wind, water, and fire are quite presentable, and this Ultimate Killing Skill derived from combining the phases of wind and fire is also passable."
Not bad, quite presentable, passable...
These barely complimentary evaluations were something Lin Yue was hearing for the first time.
From Baili Fengzhi and his master Wu Nu, he had always heard praises such as very good, extremely good, perfect... and the like.
But in the eyes of the Human Ancestor, it seemed they were just passable.
However, Lin Yue was actually quite pleased.
Identifying inadequacies allowed for progress, and not knowing even what was wrong was truly the most terrifying!
"Please, senior, offer your guidance," Lin Yue said with clasped hands.
"Let’s start with your Earth Phase Killing Technique, this Body Refining and Firming Killing Skill should prioritize stability and heaviness, and although what you practiced has the right flavor, it is lacking in heart..."
"As for your Wind Phase Killing Skill, the wind is formless..."
"...To sum it up, what you’re lacking is not the Spiritual Realm, but your heart, your heart and spirit are not sufficiently synchronized, you’re not immersed enough, you haven’t truly blended into the Spiritual Realm. If you continue to cultivate this way, there might not be a problem at the beginning, and even realizing your true self might not be much affected, but the further you go, the larger the impact will be..."
Immediately the phantom of the Human Ancestor began to speak at length, reviewing and giving feedback on each of the Martial Arts Killing Skills Lin Yue had been practicing.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior," Lin Yue said with clasped hands.
"You have high comprehension."
The phantom of the Human Ancestor looked at Lin Yue and said, "But for you to have practiced this Ultimate Killing Skill to such an extent, and your Vitality Essence is completely unharmed, without any special constitution’s aura, could it be you possess an Innate Divine Power for life recovery?"
"Yes," Lin Yue nodded slightly.
In the Ancient Times, there were no Three Religions, so naturally, there was no such thing as Immortal Pills.
His Acquired Primordial Body had no special aura either, just that cultivation progressed quickly, and Primordial Power flowed unobstructed, without the risk of an energy rampage or demonic possession.
Thus, if it wasn’t a special constitution, it naturally had to be an Innate Divine Power.
"How is your self-healing ability?" asked the Human Ancestor.
Lin Yue did not speak but instead drew a long knife and cut off one of his fingers.
The bleeding stopped instantly.
Then, the severed finger began to regrow flesh and bones at a pace visible to the naked eye.
In just a moment, the finger was completely restored.
His Recovery Power had already been astonishing before he broke through the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier.
After breaking through, his death-defying Recovery Power had immediately increased tenfold, a hundredfold.
And now, after breaking through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, his Recovery Power had become even more formidable.
"Oh?"
The Human Ancestor’s phantom nodded slightly and said, "A very strong Innate Divine Power, you can abandon those Killing Skills you were practicing before, they don’t take advantage of your strengths."
Lin Yue was surprised and asked, "Then what should I, your junior, do...?"
"It’s fine, although I’ve lost many memories, I still remember many Killing Skills."
The Human Ancestor showed a hint of a smile, "Aren’t you seeking to practice the Killing Techniques of the earth, wind, water, and fire phases? I happen to know a set of Ultimate Killing Techniques for each phase that are most suitable for you."
Lin Yue was astonished.
Ultimate Killing Skills for a single attribute?
The main difference between Ultimate Killing Skills and other techniques was that the spiritual realm and skills within the technique were more outrageous, a thorough manifestation, almost recklessly squeezing one’s own power to the limit.
Creating such techniques was also extremely difficult.
The Thirteen Flames, derived from the combination of wind and fire, was created with the wind fuelling the fire’s power and the fire borrowing the wind’s might, pushing the spiritual realm to the extreme and the skill execution to a very high level.
Ultimate Killing Skills were almost always a combination of multiple phases, with multiple attributes needed to reach the extreme.
A single attribute would be much more difficult.
And yet, the Human Ancestor could offer him four sets of single-attribute Ultimate Killing Skills, and they were the most suitable for him?
"Lie down inside the black jade coffin," suggested the Human Ancestor with a smile, "This black jade coffin is also a treasure, quite suitable to aid you in your Martial Arts cultivation."
