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

Moreover... it seems that the Second Prince is also aware?

Lin Yue took a deep breath and calmed his mind before saying softly, "Master has keen eyesight, but since Master knows that I am not the true prince, why are you willing to accept me as your disciple?"

The Main Hall Master chuckled lightly, "You are quite astute and have already called me ’Master’ before officially becoming my disciple."

Lin Yue immediately knelt down without hesitation, kowtowing, "Disciple pays respects to Master."

The Main Hall Master laughed softly and said, "Whether you are the true prince or a fake one, it doesn’t matter to me. Even the Second Prince doesn’t care, so why should I? Besides, I didn’t accept you because of your prince’s status. With so many princes, including the An Qing Commandery Prince endowed with peerless martial arts talent, have you ever seen me accept any of them?"

Lin Yue raised his head and asked, "Then why did Master...?"

The Main Hall Master fell silent for a moment before asking, "Where did you learn your Martial Arts Divine Skill?"

Martial Arts Divine Skill?

Lin Yue immediately realized that the Main Hall Master must be referring to the secret martial arts technique taught by the Human Ancestor that enhanced control.

He also felt that this secret technique was extremely special.

However, he was not sure what the outcome would be if the Main Hall Master knew about the existence of the Human Ancestor.

"It was something I stumbled upon unintentionally," Lin Yue decided not to reveal, while simultaneously changing the subject, "How did Master find out?"

"You can effortlessly use five sets of Ultimate Killing Skills smoothly. Apart from the Martial Arts Divine Skill crafted by the Human Ancestor, who else could achieve that?"

The Main Hall Master countered, then said in a mild tone, "Besides, I have practiced it myself, so naturally, I recognized it at a glance."

Lin Yue suddenly understood.

He had first learned the Martial Arts Divine Skill and then practiced various sets of Ultimate Killing Skills, so the switching didn’t feel difficult for him, and he thought it was supposed to be this way.

But was it really due to this Martial Arts Divine Skill?

"Speaking of which, have your memories from your previous life awakened?" the Main Hall Master asked again.

Lin Yue confusedly replied, "Didn’t Master know that I am not a reincarnated prince? Why mention the awakening of memories from a previous life?"

"There were none initially."

The Main Hall Master casually said, "But you refined Xia Lie’s soul and bloodline through the Blood Jade, and now you have only awakened the Xia family’s bloodline, acquiring his Innate Divine Power, but his soul still holds memories from his previous life."

"Oh?"

Lin Yue’s eyes lit up as he asked, "Does Master mean, I can obtain Xia Lie’s memories from his previous life?"

"The Fifth Prince’s Blood Jade is incredibly miraculous, and since you have refined Xia Lie’s soul, naturally you can access his past life memories," the Main Hall Master said. "Once your cultivation reaches the Four Symbols Peak and your Divine Soul metamorphoses, you should be able to access Xia Lie’s past life memories, although how complete those soul memories refined by the Blood Jade will be, that’s uncertain, and also depends on your cultivation."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master," Lin Yue bowed with his hands clasped.

He couldn’t help but feel some anticipation in his heart and asked eagerly, "Does Master know who Xia Lie was in his previous life?"

"You really think I know everything," the Main Hall Master laughed wryly, "The princes’ previous lives are all personally selected by the Divine Emperor, and as Xia Lie was the last of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Princes, his past life must at least have been a formidable figure with hope of Proving. But exactly who, it is indeed difficult to guess."

Proving?

Lin Yue mused reflectively. So, the minimum criteria set by the Divine Emperor for selecting princes were those who had the potential to Prove?

Although he didn’t fully understand what this ’Proving’ level meant, it must have been an entity as powerful as the Demon Ancestor.

"You are a false prince, without a sufficiently spectacular past life, and that is your flaw," the Main Hall Master stated. "Xia Lie’s past life memories are not yours; they do not resonate with your own Divine Soul, ultimately, it’s not your path, so your journey ahead is still fraught with challenges, with the Three Talents Heaven Barrier being your greatest obstacle."

Lin Yue listened quietly.

"But you have advantages as well."

The Main Hall Master said softly, "The other princes are akin to paintings already coated with color, merely lacking the final touch, which seems very close, yet this last step is also the most difficult. You, however, are like a blank slate from the beginning, with great luck and opportunities; the journey might be challenging, but it’s also easier to correct the course."

He paused a moment and then stated, "I know that with your current level, a few years will be enough to break through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, but you need more temperance, do not be impatient, it’s not too late to break through when the time comes."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and asked, "May I ask Master, how will I know when the opportunity comes?"

"You will be ready to break through once you have passed the Fourth Layer of the Tianxia Building and achieved five consecutive victories," the Main Hall Master stated calmly.

Lin Yue was taken aback, "The Fourth Layer of the Tianxia Building?"

Though he had not yet challenged the Tianxia Building, he knew that the difficulty of each layer greatly increased.

The difficulty of the entrance test for the Tianxia Building was lower than the first round of assessment in the Inner Hall of the Ancestor Hall.

Yet the difficulty to advance to the second layer of the Tianxia Building skyrocketed to the level of the third round of life-and-death battles.

Once a cultivator at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier passed the third layer of the Tianxia Building, they were recognized as undeniably strong, just below the rank of Great Cultivator!

That is also equivalent to the fifth round of life-and-death battle in the assessment.

By estimation, the difficulty of the fourth layer of the Tianxia Building should be comparable to the seventh round of life-and-death battle.

In the entire history of the Inner Hall assessments of the Ancestor Hall, only one had done so.

Naturally, if the age restriction of thirty years wasn’t considered, the number throughout the history of Great Yong would be somewhat more.

But the Main Hall Master’s requirement was not only the fourth layer of Tianxia Building but also five consecutive victories?

Clearly, the challenge was even greater.

Baili Fengzhi’s strength was incredibly formidable, yet he had only passed the sixth round of life-and-death battles.
