Hall Master of Heavenly Light said incredulously, "Last month, His Highness’s realm seemed modest—His True Martial Arts only reached the Second Layer, far from Perfect, let alone the Martial Arts True Self." Stay tuned with freewebnovel
The realm of Martial Arts Skills, at its base, is Micro, also known as Refining Power Like Silk, Perfect Unity.
Above that is utilizing the Killing Skill Realm to condense the True Intent of Martial Arts, thereby transforming oneself—the True Intent can be divided into Four Realms.
And even higher, beyond the perfection of True Intent, is the mastery of Martial Arts True Self.
This is a level that allows glimpses into the Heaven and Earth Law!
Even if one just touches the threshold, it is enough for Baili Fengzhi, who was originally just at the bottom of the Four Symbols, to contend against the Four Symbols Peak.
"Just a single month..."
Duke Heng was also somewhat stunned; last month, Wu Nu had said that the Seventeenth Prince couldn’t possibly enter the Inner Hall, and his cultivation progress was well known.
But, after just one month in seclusion, how had he become so strong?
The smile on the corners of the Twelfth Prince’s mouth had frozen, and his eyes were fixed on Lin Yue below. After a while, he regained his warm composure and said with a smile, "The sudden great progress of the seventeenth brother is unexpected. Could it be that he was concealing his aptitude before?"
"Two possibilities."
The Hall Master of Heavenly Light said, "Either the Seventeenth Prince has made tremendous progress over the past year but has been hiding his skills, or he had a sudden improvement this month, such as... awakening memories of a past life?"
"He broke through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier just over a month ago, only mastering two essences of Taiyang and Shaoyin."
The Twelfth Prince still wore a smile at the corner of his mouth but narrowed his eyes, "To unify the Four Symbols and reach the Peak of Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, one’s Divine Soul transforms, and that is when memories begin to awaken. Isn’t it too early for my seventeenth brother?"
The Hall Master of Heavenly Light whispered, "That’s not absolute. Some exceedingly rare and precious treasures can awaken past life memories ahead of time."
Duke Heng pondered in silence; if that were the case, then it would explain things.
"It should be the awakening of past life memories."
Prince An Qing said, "The Seventeenth Prince has touched upon the Heaven and Earth Law in the realm with his blade, but even more valuable is his control. The speed of Thirteen Flames is fast, but even at such a realm, and with Grandmaster An’s methods, it’s possible to barely block a strike. Logically, it should take two blows to break the Heavenly Soldier Puppet."
"But the control of the Seventeenth Prince’s single strike was exquisitely precise, skillfully avoiding Grandmaster An’s weapon, coupled with speed pushed to the extreme, which enabled the destruction of the Heavenly Soldier Puppet in one blow."
His eyes revealed admiration, "This, besides requiring numerous life-and-death battles, also requires a Martial Arts Secret Skill that controls oneself, to achieve such a feat."
The Twelfth Prince fell silent.
Prematurely awakened memories of a past life?
He thought it would take a few more years for Lin Yue to reach the Peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, but he had done so unexpectedly quickly?
This gave him the feeling that his plans had been disrupted.

"It seems that the Seventeenth Prince’s past life must have been an extraordinary figure skilled in Martial Arts."
The Hall Master of Heavenly Light whispered, "He has touched the threshold of Martial Arts True Self and practiced the Ultimate Killing Skill to perfection. Although his Cultivation foundation is somewhat low, the Seventeenth Prince hasn’t even used the Mind Forbidden Technique... This strength is already sufficient to challenge the top three."
The other three also understood this point.
Although this Seventeenth Prince had lower Cultivation, merely at the Second Layer of the Four Symbols, the dual paths of the Ancient God’s Way, along with the Baili clan being able to manipulate the Bloodline Divine Power, had made up for a lot. In terms of basic speed and strength, he was already comparable to the common Cultivator at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier Peak.
Plus, having refined the Ultimate Killing Skill to perfection, he could already claim supremacy among those at the Peak of Four Symbols Heaven Barrier!
The Twelfth Prince was even clearer on the matter.
Two hundred years ago, the genius ’Wan Qiufeng’ who created the Thirteen Flames, had not cultivated the Demon Body, was only at this level.
Although he was unsure where Wan Qiufeng had developed the Demon Body, he always suspected it had something to do with the Third Prince; otherwise, that Demon Body wouldn’t have been so astonishing.
With Thirteen Flames and that powerful Demon Body, Wan Qiufeng had been invincible under the Great Cultivators for a generation!
Once Lin Yue activated the Mind Forbidden Technique, even if not quite like Wan Qiufeng of old, the difference wouldn’t be too great.
He would be nearing an invincible level!
What troubled the Twelfth Prince the most was Lin Yue’s tremendous potential for further improvement.
The current Lin Yue had not even Cultivated the Ancient God’s Way to the Four Symbols Peak.
Once he reached the Peak, his strength would inevitably be invincible beneath the level of Great Cultivators!
Moreover, the Ancient God’s Way could be practiced in tandem with other Cultivation Techniques. For instance, if he also cultivated some strong Demon Body like Wan Qiufeng, then his strength would surpass that of Wan Qiufeng.
Truly invincible beneath the level of Great Cultivators.
And even many Great Cultivators, under the circumstances when they cannot utilize the Heaven and Earth Law, would not be his match.
"No wonder he has come forward..."
The Twelfth Prince maintained a calm and gentle expression but inwardly, he felt a hint of regret.
Now he understood why this Seventeenth brother had suddenly stepped forward to acknowledge his identity as a Prince and given up on continuing to hide.
Indeed, there was no longer a need.
Even if he became recognized as a Prince, the Four Symbols Level challenge set by Your Majesty would not pose much difficulty.
Moreover, once Lin Yue entered the Inner Hall of Ancestor Hall, he would receive the protection of Ancestor Hall!
At that time, as long as he became a disciple under a certain Hall Master, even if Duke Heng passed away, there would be nothing to fear.
After all, the strongest in Duke Heng’s estate was just Duke Heng alone.
But behind each Hall Master of Ancestor Hall stands the entirety of Ancestor Hall!
"Big trouble..."
The Twelfth Prince felt somewhat of a headache.
Compared to the Twelfth Prince, Duke Heng was much more delighted inside.
"Good, good, good!"
Duke Heng watched Lin Yue below with great joy; a weight lifted from his heart, "Without realizing it, His Highness has already grown to this extent. If he enters the Inner Hall and receives the protection of a certain Hall Master, even if this old man dies today, there will be no concern."
