You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 154 - 2. Duke Heng

"Qingtian Bureau?"

Lin Yue coughed twice and said, "They’ve come to investigate the theft of the treasures from Prince Cheng Mansion at this time?"

Master pondered for a moment and said, "The Qingtian Bureau is an organization where the Sect Leader could be considered a constable among cultivators. The other party is a Great Cultivator, a high-ranking official within the Qingtian Bureau of Di Hong City; they should at least be one of the chief officers."

"The Twelfth Prince’s dog?" Lin Yue asked.

Since Prince Cheng Mansion was the dwelling of the Twelfth Prince, demanding a search so openly and under such pretenses at this time must certainly have an ulterior motive.

"That could be said."

Master nodded slightly, "Perhaps the people of the Twelfth Prince discovered that the Night Howling Sun-Eating Array was broken and suspected that the Heavenly Born Sect had failed, so they sent a Great Cultivator to inspect the situation. Sect Leader, how do you think we should handle this?"

Lin Yue coughed a few times and asked, "Can we hit him?"

"We can’t hit him." Master shook his head, "But this Great Cultivator can’t do anything to us either. With the Eye of Heaven watching, he wouldn’t dare to use the power of the Heaven and Earth Law."

Lin Yue thought for a moment and then said, "Turn off the Barrier’s soundproofing."

Master was taken aback but still controlled the Flying Boat Barrier to retract the mana that blocked the internal sound.

Then, Lin Yue took a deep breath, used the Wind Element to amplify his voice through the Flying Boat Barrier, and said loudly,

"Whose dog is barking? Scram!"

Upon hearing this, everyone on the Flying Boat turned to look at Lin Yue in astonishment.

The Great Cultivator, who was flying at high speed outside the Flying Boat, seemed stunned for a moment, nearly forgetting to maintain his Flying Escape and almost collided with the Flying Boat, then he immediately shouted angrily, "Where does this brat come from, daring to insult me so blatantly! How dare you!"

Lin Yue laughed and continued using the Wind Element to speak, "I didn’t say it was you, why are you recognizing it yourself?"

...

The Great Cultivator outside fell silent.

Lin Yue could feel the other party’s rage and frustration even through the Barrier, and he couldn’t help but reflect Jingzhou really had its advantages with the Eye of Heaven.

At least... without an Imperial Decree, the Great Cultivator couldn’t use the power of the Heaven and Earth Law on his own initiative.

However, should the Flying Boat Barrier, which also seemed to be empowered at the level of the Heaven and Earth Law, be operable while the Great Cultivator couldn’t use it?

What was the logic in that?

Lin Yue didn’t quite understand, but for now it sure was convenient for him.

After a while, the Great Cultivator outside the Flying Boat snorted coldly, "I am one of the chief officers of the Qingtian Bureau, carrying out my duty. Will you not stop your Flying Boat immediately!"

Lin Yue lazily used the Wind Element to say, "Can’t the dog understand human speech? Can it only bite blindly? Oh, I’m not referring to you."

The Great Cultivator outside the Flying Boat, suppressing his fury, almost squeezed the words through his teeth, "Do you intend to hinder the Qingtian Bureau’s investigation?"

"Why does the dog keep yapping endlessly? I didn’t mention you." Lin Yue sighed and said, "Forget it, continue with the soundproofing."

"How dare you! I order you to stop!" The Great Cultivator outside the Flying Boat shouted angrily.

Master chuckled and reactivated the soundproofing, then spoke, "Sect Leader, this time you may have really infuriated the Great Cultivator outside."

Lin Yue coughed and said casually, "Anyway, he doesn’t dare to use the power of the Heaven and Earth Law. He can’t do anything to us, and he knows I’m a prince, so he’s even less able to handle me."

Master nodded lightly and then said, "However, Your Highness must know that although Great Cultivators cannot privately use the power of the Heaven and Earth Law in Jingzhou, relying on their own strength alone, they are much stronger than the cultivators of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier."

"Why?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

Master thought for a moment and said, "Four Symbols Practitioners at best draw upon the Four Symbols Essence, and no matter how strong their Divine Soul, Mana, or Physical Body becomes, there is a limit. However, the Divine Soul, Mana, and Physical Body of a Great Cultivator, being steeped in the influence of the Heaven and Earth Law, undergo a qualitative transformation and their foundation far exceeds that of the Four Symbols level, naturally making them different."

Lin Yue nodded, realizing the point.

"How strong could they be?"

Lin Yue coughed and asked, "Could they match those invincible figures just below the Great Cultivators?"

"It varies from person to person." Master said, "At the very least it is stronger than the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect, because their foundation is so high, their Realm is also high, and the Cultivation Method they practice is naturally of a higher rank. Their strength can’t be too inferior."

Lin Yue couldn’t help but laugh wryly, "So, you mean to say that even without using the power of the Heaven and Earth Law, a Great Cultivator could still potentially be bullied by such invincible figures below them?"

"While it’s highly unlikely, it is indeed possible."

Master also smiled, "Especially within the boundaries of Jingzhou, suppressed by the Eye of Heaven, Great Cultivators without an Imperial Decree can’t even use the power of the Heaven and Earth Law, so their strength is limited compared to the Four Symbols level. If they were outside Jingzhou, perhaps they might even take the risk of punishment to take action."

"That must be frustrating." Lin Yue shook his head with a smile, "After so much effort to cultivate to such a level, but end up being so constrained everywhere."

"Your Highness, that view is mistaken."

Master continued softly, "The Human Clan is able to survive to this day, not perishing amidst Eternal Night because of the great merit of the Divine Emperor. These rules were established by the Divine Emperor, who didn’t wish to see mortals being treated like ants by cultivators. Thus, the national fortune is used to determine sins and merits."

"Great Cultivators are the same."

He looked toward the Great Cultivator outside the Flying Boat and said, "Great Cultivators have already touched upon the essence of heaven and earth. If they randomly use the power of Heaven and Earth Law, they would disrupt the National Guardian Array set by the Divine Emperor, especially in a place like Jingzhou at the core of the Divine Array, they are even less permitted."

Lin Yue understood.

It involved the stability of Great Yong; no wonder such prohibitions existed.

Having Great Cultivators concentrated in Jingzhou must also be to prevent them from impulsively striking outside.

Lin Yue glanced at the Great Cultivator outside the Flying Boat and said, "This man can’t use the power of the Heaven and Earth Law, won’t be able to stop the Flying Boat, is he delusional enough to think he can make us stop with mere words?"
