Entering the Fourth Layer and securing five consecutive victories is a huge contrast to never having won a single match.
"Master told to break through the Fourth Layer and secure five consecutive wins, which two among the princes and princesses have already achieved."
Lin Yue silently pondered, "Prince Jing? Princess Jing Yue?"
As he knew, Prince Jing was the Third Prince.
And Princess Jing Yue was the Eldest Princess.
"What about the Second Prince?" Lin Yue curiously inquired, "What level has the Second Prince reached in Tianxia Building?"
"He hasn’t passed it," the Fourth Prince shook his head.
"He hasn’t passed Tianxia Building either?" Lin Yue was astonished.
He had heard that the Second Prince had never attempted the twelve trials of the Eastern Palace; he hadn’t expected that he hadn’t even attempted Tianxia Building.
"The Second Prince and the Crown Prince are both quite exceptional."
The Fourth Prince whispered, "Our father has never tested the Second Prince, but...I have heard our father say that if the Second Prince were willing, the twelve trials of the Eastern Palace would be a joke to him; simply put, the Second Prince is not interested."
Lin Yue was taken aback.
This Second Prince was indeed mysterious, seemingly indifferent to everything?
However, previously, the Blood Demon Ancestor Reincarnated, the Fifth Prince, once said the Second Prince was too pitiful, too detached?
Pitiful?
He couldn’t figure it out, but there was no need to dwell on it for now since his current wife, Miss of the Qi Family, was a mber of the Heart Palace, perhaps he’d have a chance to connect with the Second Prince in the future.
"However, Seventeenth Brother, you needn’t worry too much about the trial tasks."
The Fourth Prince continued, "Once Seventeenth Brother’s Divine Soul transforms, and past life mories awaken, these trial tasks will presumably not be difficult to complete; more important for Seventeenth Brother, actually, are the surveillance tasks."
I’m not any reincarnated person; I’m not sure about achieving five consecutive victories in the Fourth Layer of Tianxia Building... Lin Yue muttered to himself.
He continued to focus on the scroll concerning surveillance tasks.
"Inspector?"
Lin Yue slightly raised an eyebrow, "Choose one of the three major administrative institutions - the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt, Divine Pivot Institute, or Dawn Platform, beco an Inspector, and complete the subsequent surveillance tasks?"
Great Yong had no small number of administrative departnts, like the Jingtian Bureau, which had a considerable but not overwhelming role, equivalent to a constable among cultivators.
But the real departnts that even princes dared not tamper with were the three institutions personally established by the Divine Emperor.
Heavenly Punishnt Departnt, Divine Pivot Institute, Dawn Platform.
Each of these three major administrative institutions was extrely influential.
However, Lin Yue had been cultivating all this year and wasn’t very familiar with them, solely aware of their nas and basic functions.
The Heavenly Punishnt Departnt was upholding the Heavenly Dao and seed related to the Eye of Heaven; its duty was to punish sin-bearing cultivators and to seek out Eternal Night demons lurking within Great Yong.
The Jingtian Bureau was rely a subordinate institution of the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt.
The Divine Pivot Institute, he had no understanding of it at all, having only heard its na.
The Dawn Platform, he knew his mother, Lin Jianlu, had once been a mber; it was responsible for exploring the Eternal Night.
"Seventeenth Brother, I have a suggestion for you."
The Fourth Prince earnestly said, "Aside from the Dawn Platform, both the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt and Divine Pivot Institute are quite suitable for you to undertake surveillance tasks, but the Dawn Platform is too troubleso; many issues can end up relating to the Eternal Night outside Great Yong’s borders, making them hard to investigate clearly."
Lin Yue pondered for a mont, bowing his hands, "Thank you, Prince Ji, for your guidance. Allow your servant to go back and think it over."
"Not at all."
The Fourth Prince smiled, "After the New Year, on the sixteenth day of the first month when the court session begins, the Crown Prince will issue the Imperial Decree officially appointing you as an Inspector, Seventeenth Brother has plenty of ti to consider." Continue reading on .Côm
It’s only the beginning of the twelfth lunar month now.
There’s still more than a month.
Lin Yue nodded, saying, "Prince Ji, have you any other matters? If not, your servant should head back."
"Go on, go on," the Fourth Prince said, "cherish the cultivation environnt of Ancestor Hall."
Lin Yue bowed and perford the ritualistic salute, then turned and returned inside the Ancestor Hall.
Baili Fengzhi had not yet erged; he wasn’t in a hurry and first visited a few important places in the Ancestor Hall.
Firstly, he went to the ’rit Hall.’
This place was where the disciples’ rits of the Ancestor Hall were recorded; as soon as Lin Yue, the disciple of the Main Hall Master, arrived, the Elder of the rit Hall imdiately ca out to greet him personally, despite being a Great Cultivator, still respectfully addressing him as "Master Uncle."
Lin Yue also learned about the thods of obtaining rits in the Ancestor Hall.
Disciples of the Ancestor Hall also had cultivation rewards.
For example, reaching the Peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier earns one a small rit reward, but for Lin Yue, this is essentially optional.
The key lies in conquering Tianxia Building and several secret spots in the Ancestor Hall, which also offer astounding rewards.
According to what the Elder of the rit Hall said, these rewards are actually higher than those of the Prince’s trials.
After all, almost all Princes can complete those trials, and the rewards are just that, rewards.
And if the Ancestor Hall sees such a prodigy, it naturally offers hefty rewards.
"The treasure dicine provided by Duke Heng’s estate is already the best, no need to waste rits on exchanging for others."
Lin Yue quietly flipped through the exchange catalog passed by the Elder of the rit Hall, planning the future distribution sche in his mind.
"Currently, the most useful for is the Cultivation Chamber in the Ancestor Hall, which is significantly better than what Duke Heng’s estate offers, allowing to sprint to the Peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier within a few months."
"However, before reaching the Peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, I must first overco those Princes’ trials," he secretly decided.
After all, those Princes’ trials must be done before reaching the Peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, otherwise, they are invalid.
"Once my cultivation reaches the Peak of Four Symbols, I must start planning how to achieve five consecutive victories on the Fourth Layer of Tianxia Building."
Lin Yue pondered thoughtfully, "The Ancestor Hall indeed has several excellent Cultivation Chambers, which are greatly beneficial for honing the Martial Arts True Self. Although they consu a lot of big rits, I need to earn more. The Imperial Family of the Xiahong might also have similar places. I will compare them and make the best use of all."
He is both a Prince and the disciple of the Main Hall Master, two major advantages that he naturally needs to utilize well.
This is also his opportunity to narrow the gap with other Princes and even surpass them.
"This Cultivation Chamber ’Yin Yang Cave Heaven’ seems to have a good cultivation environnt."
Lin Yue pointed to an entry in the catalog, saying, "How much large rit is needed to cultivate in this Yin Yang Cave Heaven?"
"Good eye, Elder."
The Elder of the rit Hall said with a smile, "Inside the Yin Yang Cave Heaven, the energy of the Yin Yang Changes of the Four Symbols is primarily gathered. It’s arguably the best Cultivation Chamber in the world for aiding the cultivation at the Four Symbols Level, thus it’s extrely precious. Elder, you can use it without having to queue, but it costs one hundred small rits per day."
"One hundred small rits per day?"
Lin Yue considered briefly and said, "Give a month’s worth for now."
He had survived the fourth round of life-or-death battles and, moreover, received the award of five big rits from being an Inner Hall disciple, totaling twenty big rits.
One thousand small rits can be exchanged for one big rit.
This amounted to him having twenty thousand small rits.
If he used all in the Yin Yang Cave Heaven’s Cultivation Chamber, he could cultivate for two hundred days.
The Yin Yang Cave Heaven could increase the efficiency of Four Symbols Heaven Barrier cultivation by more than ten tis.
With his usual pace of cultivation, it would normally take four to five years to reach the Peak of Four Symbols.
With the best spiritual elixirs and the environnt of the Yin Yang Cave Heaven, he estimated that reaching the Peak of Four Symbols would most likely take less than three months.
First exchange for a month, and before the imperial court session on the sixteenth day of the first month, reach the Third Layer of the Four Symbols.
This one month was enough.
"Three big rits deducted, Elder."
The Elder of the rit Hall said, "You should practice in the Yin Yang Cave Heaven for an hour each day, that’s basically the limit, don’t overdo it."
"Alright." Lin Yue nodded slightly.
"Elder, do you need to exchange for anything else?" asked the Elder of the rit Hall.
"Not for now."
Lin Yue shook his head.
He planned to go back, open the black jade coffin, and consult the Human Ancestor in the Illusion Realm before deciding on his next cultivation plan.
"Elder, this is the token for the Yin Yang Cave Heaven." The Elder of the rit Hall handed over a golden token, saying, "It can be activated thirty tis; you can begin practicing for an hour today, use it as you see fit."
"Alright." Lin Yue took the token and then turned to leave the rit Hall.
The Cultivation Chamber of the Yin Yang Cave Heaven was located in the fourth level of the Cultivation Hall; Lin Yue soon found the location.
The Elder of the Cultivation Hall respectfully called him "Elder," then led Lin Yue to the door of the Cultivation Chamber, ’Yin Yang Cave Heaven.’
"Such concentrated Four Symbols Essence..."
Lin Yue sat cross-legged in the chamber. To his left, the Sunlight Map gathered Taiyang Essence, and to his right, the Moonlight Map gathered Taiyin Essence.
His position leaned closer to Taiyin, where the changes of Yin Yang inclined more toward ’Shaoyang’, perfectly suited for his current level of cultivation.
"No wonder the efficiency is so high; it turns out I don’t need to painstakingly refine it myself..."
Lin Yue silently praised in his mind and began to ditate and cultivate.
