You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 167 - 7. The fifth young lady who comes to your door_2

"Stuck at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier?"
Lin Yue asked doubtfully, "Hasn’t he mastered the Martial Arts True Self? How could he be stuck?"
The Three Talents Heaven Barrier in Martial Arts, which is equivalent to a Martial Arts Grandmaster, requires mastering the Martial Arts True Self as one of the conditions for a breakthrough.
Once mastered, becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster should be as easy as drinking water.
"I don’t know."
Wu Nu shook his head, glanced at Baili Fengzhi, and said, "The Crown Prince, like Baili’s trusted aide, remained at the very bottom of the Four Symbols for a full hundred years, with no improvement in cultivation."
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly.
This should be a case of not daring to break through, rather than being unable to break through, right?
"And then?" asked the Fifth Miss of the Qi Family.
"And then..."
Wu Nu said with some excitement, "The year the God Emperor unified the world and founded Great Yong, the Crown Prince finally broke through. With this breakthrough, the Crown Prince became considered the strongest in the world at the time. Even the God Emperor acknowledged in the records that before unifying the world, His Majesty had not yet reached a higher realm and was, therefore, no match for the Crown Prince."
The strongest?
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue’s heart sank when he recalled the secret of the Eighth Ring Level.
"However..."
Lin Yue began, "The Crown Prince was His Majesty’s first child. Even if an accident left him lame, why didn’t His Majesty help him heal for ten full years? Where was His Majesty during that time?"
"This... I am not sure." Wu Nu shook his head, saying, "I only learned these things from the records of the Ancestor Hall; they happened over a thousand years ago."
Lin Yue said nothing further.
The past of Great Yong surely had many twists and untold secrets.
"In any case."
Wu Nu said, "I tell you these secrets in hopes that you will always remember: there are always greater talents beyond the mountains and buildings, and the world inevitably contains stronger geniuses. Some people were not geniuses at first, but the more they are tempered, the brighter they shine. Having a pious and humble heart is most important."
This is also why he named himself Wu Nu.
Wu Nu looked at Lin Yue and gently advised, "Young Master is exceptionally talented, so do not let it go to waste."
"I understand."
Lin Yue nodded slightly.
He had already set aside the pride that came with the bloodline of the Xia family and his cultivation speed.
Even without mentioning the legendary Crown Prince, just the princes alone were enough to keep him sober and calm. The Demon Ancestor, the great figures of the Three Religions Holy Land...
Which among them was not a legendary prodigy of the heavens?
"Speaking of which, what is the Young Master’s goal?"
Wu Nu patted his thigh with the side of his blade with interest and said, "I can also prepare different training plans for Young Master based on different goals."
"The short-term goal is the Ancestor Hall."
Lin Yue pondered and said, "Wu Shifu is from the Ancestor Hall. Do you know the requirements to join the Inner Hall of the Ancestor Hall?"
"The Inner Hall?" Wu Nu raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "With Young Master’s talent, eleven years later, you will certainly be able to enter the Ancestor Hall’s Inner Hall."
"Eleven years?"
Lin Yue was taken aback, "Why eleven years?"
"Because the Inner Hall examination of the Ancestor Hall opens only once every ten years."
Wu Nu shook his head and said, "And the next Inner Hall examination of the Ancestor Hall is on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month next year, with just over a year left. In just over a year, it is indeed far from enough time, but in ten years, Young Master will have become a Great Cultivator and will have made great progress in martial arts, so it will surely be enough."
"Still have to wait eleven years?" Lin Yue frowned.
Eleven years seemed too long.
According to Tantian Sect, the Xia family’s princes were so talented that breaking through the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier was as easy as eating and drinking; breaking through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier took no more than two years.
Moreover, of the known princes, none took more than ten years to break through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier.
Because...
Once reaching the peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier and mastering the transformations of Taiyin, Taiyang, Shaoyin, and Shaoyang, besides being able to absorb the Four Symbols Essence of sun, moon, and stars, the Divine Soul also metamorphoses.
From the peak of the Four Symbols, a prince will also gradually awaken the memories of his past life.
Therefore, it was easy for a prince to break through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier.
Although Lin Yue initially used the Universal Spirit Blood Jade to refine Xia Lie’s bloodline and soul, he couldn’t be sure if he could obtain the past life memories of Xia Lie’s soul at the peak of the Four Symbols.
Therefore, he was uncertain whether he could break through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier within ten years.
If he could not gain the Ancestor Hall’s attention early, it would be even more difficult.
If he hadn’t broken through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier eleven years later, wouldn’t he still be unable to enter the Ancestor Hall?
After all, the other princes are all reincarnations of Great Powers. Once past life memory awakens, they gain treasures left by their past lives, whereas he, a fake prince, was merely a transmigrator.
He needed to fight for more.
"In any case..."
Wu Shifu slightly shook his head and said, "With Young Master’s martial arts talent, participating in next year’s November Outer Hall examination will certainly allow you to pass. The Inner Hall examination is still a bit too far off; it is still..."
"Wu Shifu."
Lin Yue slightly frowned and said, "What are the requirements to join the Inner Hall of the Ancestor Hall? I want to try to give it a go at the next Inner Hall examination."
"With just over a year?"
Wu Shifu was amazed, then said, "However, it’s good for Young Master to have drive, so I’ll do my best to help you. Whether you succeed or not will depend on yourself."
He added, "As for the requirements, I won’t say, to avoid affecting Young Master’s Heart Realm. Just give it your all, as the most basic requirement is the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier. Young Master needs to reach the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier before the examination."
"Alright." Lin Yue nodded.
Wu Shifu said, "Of course, if a Martial Arts Grandmaster with the right temperament is willing to join the Ancestor Hall, they can become an Inner Hall elder, so Young Master need not worry."
Lin Yue nodded silently.
In any case, he must strive.
"By the way."
Wu Shifu looked at Baili Fengzhi and said, "With Baili’s trusted aide’s Martial Arts Realm, there might be a chance to enter the Inner Hall next year. You could try."
"Alright." Baili Fengzhi nodded and said to Lin Yue, "Young Master, I will certainly give my best effort."
As Lin Yue’s personal servant, if she becomes an Inner Hall member of the Ancestor Hall, it would naturally benefit Lin Yue.
The Fifth Miss of the Qi Family was also stunned to hear Lin Yue’s goal and couldn’t help saying, "Your Highness... ahem, brother-in-law, Father says cultivation should not aim for the impossible. The Inner Hall examination is indeed extremely difficult. For brother-in-law, breaking through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier would be easier, right?"
For she had also attempted the Inner Hall examination and found it far too difficult.
In her view, becoming an elder of the Ancestor Hall was easier than joining the Inner Hall.
What of being a prince; most princes also couldn’t pass the Inner Hall examination!
"We have to try."
Lin Yue couldn’t help but glance at the Fifth Miss of the Qi Family, was this young girl already calling him brother-in-law so early?
However, he felt a change of heart and took the opportunity to say, "Judging by your demeanor, you’ve also tried the Inner Hall examination, right? You seem so sure, it looks like you think there’s no hope. Do you think I have no hope either?"
The Fifth Miss of the Qi Family, worried she might get called out, cleverly said, "Anyway, it certainly won’t happen a year from now."
Lin Yue mused, "Since you’ve tried the Inner Hall examination and also practice martial arts, I’ll spar with you in the future so you can tell me if there’s any hope, and I need not trouble Wu Shifu every day."
Wu Shifu secretly muttered to himself, I’m not afraid of trouble... could His Highness really be intending, as Lord Qi said, to take both sisters?
"Sparring?"
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Miss of the Qi Family’s beautiful eyes brightened, and she immediately said with joy, "Brother-in-law, you said it. If I accidentally hurt you during sparring, don’t blame me."
She often felt itchy for action and frequently sparred with the guest elders of the mansion. She especially enjoyed defeating geniuses before they became famous.
Thus, when these geniuses eventually gained fame, her reputation would also rise.
But no matter how talented one was, who could compare to a prince?
The thought of beating up a prince made her itch with eagerness, especially since this was someone who almost became her brother-in-law!
She had to grasp this opportunity to hit him; if not now, she wouldn’t be able to take him down in the future.
"...Fine."
Lin Yue looked somewhat oddly at this eager-faced young girl. Wouldn’t she be too afraid to hit a prince?
He was merely making an excuse, hoping to quietly win over this Fifth Miss of the Qi Family to facilitate indirectly controlling Duke Heng’s mansion in the future.
He didn’t expect this Fifth Miss to be so impatient, actively approaching?
No matter, it could save some effort on the eldest miss.
The sooner he could win over the Qi Family’s eldest miss, the sooner he could connect with the Second Prince.
