"Give up?"
Lin Yue frowned and said, "Is this parting sorrow poison really unsolvable?"
The Master sighed and shook his head, saying, "When we followed the Sixteenth Prince, we also heard about it. This poison seems to change with heartache, its toxicity is as illusory as a heart phase. Even if a Great Power with daoist cultivation expels the toxin completely, it remains unextinguished and will eventually return to the victim’s body. That’s why it’s called unsolvable poison."
Lin Yue was taken aback.
An illusory poison like a heart phase?
Such a peculiar poison, truly beyond reason, no wonder it’s called the world’s most venomous.
The Master sighed lightly, "This parting sorrow is rated as the world’s most lethal poison. It is said to be one of the bitter poisons created by the Myriad Poison Demon Ancestor, one of the six ancestors of the Demon Path. Its terror speaks for itself."
Lin Yue frowned silently.
The six ancestors of the Demon Path.
The most terrifying existence within the Demon Path.
And the Myriad Poison Demon Ancestor, known for poison, the horrors of his creations can only be imagined.
"Of course..."
The Master continued, "In this world, there is always a glimr of hope. Perhaps this parting sorrow could be resolved, but it would likely require the Myriad Poison Demon Ancestor himself or those Great Powers in the cultivation world."
Lin Yue pondered for a long while and asked, "Since I am a Prince, is there hope to invite such a Great Power?"
"There is hope."
The Master nodded, saying, "Actually, the one most likely to be invited by the Sect Leader is Your Majesty the God Emperor. After you arrive in Di Hong City, you will inevitably have an audience with His Majesty. At that ti, perhaps His Majesty would compensate you, and you can make this request."
Lin Yue remained silent.
After a while, he shook his head slightly and said, "In any case, within the next year or two, I must go to Di Hong City."
The mbers of the Tantian Sect all frowned in thought.
Although as a Divine Emperor’s descendant, he had backing that could be known as the world’s greatest, the God Emperor had always ignored the struggles between the Princes.
Otherwise, the Sixteenth Prince wouldn’t have died.
The key issue was a Prince who suddenly appeared in Di Hong City without any foundation or connections, relying solely on cultivation talent. It’s not just fighting with other Princes, he might even find it challenging to compete with the grandsons of Princes.
Baili Fengzhi also frowned slightly.
She had been stationed at the Northwest Border these years, hardly understanding anything about the Central Plains, let alone Di Hong City.
The idea that royal infighting could lead to the fall of Princes was sothing she had never even heard of.
She assud that once a Prince returned to Di Hong City, no one in the world would dare provoke him, allowing him to act with complete freedom. Perhaps with a little dedication to cultivation and favor from the Divine Emperor, countless rare treasures would be at his fingertips.
Unexpectedly, there was actual danger?
But Lin Yue had already prepared himself ntally.
Knowing the fall of the Sixteenth Prince and the fact that a strong figure from the Demon Path was destined to reincarnate as a mber of the Xiahong clan, he suspected that there might be brutal struggles ahead.
Yet he had no choice but to go to Di Hong City.
"As a Prince of the Xiahong clan, the Sect Leader, upon awakening for only a few days, already broke through the Five Elents Heavenly Barrier. His natural talent speaks for itself."
The Master said softly, "With your talent, as long as you are given enough ti, you have a chance to protect yourself, and even challenge other Princes. But the hardest part is enduring this period."
Lin Yue nodded slightly.
He understood this logic as well.
"Actually..."
The Master contemplated before saying, "The Sixteenth Prince once ntioned that His Majesty the God Emperor had also set so rules. So as long as you are prepared, there is hope."
He paused and said, "As of now, what the Sect Leader needs most is strength, followed by connections and backing. If a powerful entity in Di Hong City is willing to protect you, you have the opportunity to grow and strengthen."
Lin Yue contemplated for a mont and asked, "In Di Hong City, is the Xiahong clan the most powerful?"
"Yes, even looking globally, the Xiahong clan is the most powerful."
The Master said, "But internally, the Xiahong clan cannot possibly be a monolith. It is instead divided into factions centered around each Prince and Princess, with each Prince being the head of their party."
Lin Yue imdiately understood.
Factional strife.
Compared to the factional strife of dynasties in history, the difference was in the presence of His Majesty the God Emperor.
The emperors of past lives were rely mortals, allowing factional strife to balance court affairs and let Princes keep each other in check.
But His Majesty the God Emperor was a supre being, and so-called factional strife was rely a ans for him to temper the Princes, much like raising venomous creatures.
Perhaps this could also explain why Princes were the reincarnations of prodigies from different eras.
"After the Princes divided the Xiahong clan, no single Prince’s faction can be considered the strongest."
The Master’s voice gently echoed in the hall, "In fact, so Holy Lands within the Three Religions are even stronger than so Prince’s factions. If the Sect Leader could gain the favor of the Three Religions Holy Land, he would naturally have powerful protection."
"What about the Shenxiao Sect?" Lin Yue asked.
Perhaps through the old drunkard, he could make contact with the Shenxiao Sect?
The Master shook his head slightly, saying, "Sect Leader, although Shenxiao Sect is one of the Daoist Sacred Lands, it has openly supported the Fourteenth Prince and cannot support any other Prince."
The Fourteenth Prince?
Lin Yue was thoughtful.
"I have a suggestion, which the Sect Leader might consider."
The Master spoke earnestly, "The most beneficial forces for Your Highness are actually those great ministers who followed His Majesty in conquering the world back then. Due to their contributions in the dragon’s support, they were also granted special inheritances and bloodlines, able to cultivate the Ancient God’s Way. They often have marital ties with the Xiahong clan, and as such support, each one is influential."
He glanced at Baili Fengzhi and said, "If Your Highness is willing, you might attempt to form a marriage alliance with one of the great ministers. This is the simplest and fastest thod."
Baili Fengzhi showed no reaction.
