You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 169 - 8. When the mind is boundless, the Way is limitless_2
Jun Changge said gently, "Even up to the princes, it is so. All of you princes are reincarnation of Heaven’s favored children, and these great figures who can reach this stage all have their hearts set on a direction, whether it be a great obsession, a grand wish, or a profound sense of freedom."
"Even higher, even the supreme God Emperor is the same."
"The grand wish of the God Emperor was to dispel the Eternal Night and let the Human Clan live in light. Thus, he forged ahead and established this great dynasty."
"If the heart is boundless, then the Dao is infinite."
Jun Changge whispered, "Without a sufficient heart, one cannot bear the mighty power that changes the heavens and the earth."
Lin Yue listened, remained silent for a while, and cupped his hands, "I ask Master Jun for guidance."
Jun Changge smiled gently and said, "Your Highness has yet to break through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier; there is still plenty of time."
He paused and said, "As the saying goes, ’The size of your heart determines the size of the world in your eyes.’ Your Highness should also ponder this point well. Matters of the Dao Heart may not be so mysterious, but they are not something that can be determined in a few words."
Lin Yue pondered for a while and said, "Lord Qi asked Martial Master to teach me the way of battle, and asked Master Jun, perhaps to teach me how to temper my Dao Heart?"
"Correct."
Jun Changge smiled and said, "Actually, there’s nothing particularly special about the method; speaking of it is simple, it is just..."
With a wave of his hand, Lin Yue saw piles and piles of books appear on the desk in front of him.
They almost filled the entire desk and were stacked over a person high. It was unclear if there were hundreds or thousands of books.
"This is..."
Lin Yue was astonished as he looked at the pile of books.
Jun Changge walked out from beside him with a smile and said, "Your Highness, rest assured. These books are not some obscure and boring ceremonial texts, but records of historical scrolls of many Great Cultivators, narrating their life experiences, sayings, interesting stories, and so on."
"Great Cultivators?"
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow, "So many?"
"Your Highness, using copper as a mirror, you can correct your attire; using history as a mirror, you can understand the rise and fall; using people as a mirror, you can see your gains and losses."
Jun Changge looked at the pile of books and said warmly, "To temper the Dao Heart, one must illuminate the heart and see nature, and using former people as a mirror is the best method. Success has its common traits, and failure has its common traits. Learning strengths and summarizing lessons is the correct path."
Lin Yue nodded slightly and said, "There are quite a lot."
Jun Changge smiled and said, "These are just a tenth."
"Only a tenth?" Lin Yue was astonished.
"Your Highness can take your time to read."
Jun Changge said, "Every day, you only need to read the historical scrolls of one Great Cultivator, and then discuss with me. I believe it will be helpful to Your Highness."
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
Although Jun Changge did not teach him Martial Arts, nor any secret techniques or cultivation methods that would obviously aid his cultivation, since the Dao Heart had significant importance in starting to break through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, this approach was likely very useful.
Otherwise, Lord Qi would not have specially called for Jun Changge to teach him.
"As for other matters, Your Highness is so intelligent that I do not need to waste much breath on it."
Jun Changge smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness doesn’t need to consider me as some Great Cultivator, just a friend chatting with Your Highness."
"Alright." Lin Yue nodded slightly.
...
Time flowed like water, passing day by day.
Lin Yue’s schedule was tightly packed every day, practicing sword skills, fighting skills, and then sparring with the fifth young lady of the Qi family, Baili Fengzhi. During breaks, he would read those historical scrolls.
The first time he sparred with the fifth young lady of the Qi family, Lin Yue was sent flying by her slap, crashing into the courtyard wall. Although his internal organs were not severely damaged, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which scared her, turning her face pale.
"Brother-in-law, are you okay? I didn’t mean to hit hard. I swear it wasn’t intentional. Are you alright?"
"Look how scared you are, what’s there to be afraid of? Don’t go easy on me."
Lin Yue casually spat out the blood in his mouth, smiled nonchalantly, and picked up his sword to continue sparring.
Such an injury would heal quickly. If she were intimidated by the prince’s status and didn’t dare to hit properly, there would be no honing effect.
The fifth young lady of the Qi family was indeed very formidable.

Peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, mastering the unity of Taiyin, Taiyang, Shaoyin, and Shaoyang, and with a high Martial Arts Realm, she even knew a Mind Forbidden Technique of the Ancient God’s Way.
Her strength was actually somewhat stronger than the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect at that time, and her Martial Arts Skills were more advanced.
No wonder even Wu Nu, the Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Ancestor Hall, thought she was a Martial Arts talent, indeed extraordinary.
Even if she only used the normal power of the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier Peak, Lin Yue, using all his might, the Prairie Fire Strike, and the full burst of the Mind Forbidden Technique, was no match for her.
Pure skill gap and cultivation realm disparity, even with the same foundation, she was much stronger than Lin Yue.
Her true strength, even the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect at that time might not be her opponent.
Moreover, her moves and Martial Arts were taught by a Martial Arts Grandmaster, more exquisite and mysterious, even Baili Fengzhi was not her match now.
Lin Yue knew that, for the time being, he could only be at the mercy of this young lady-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, I’m only using one hand. If you can make me take half a step back, you win."
"Brother-in-law, don’t even think about passing the Five Elements Test of the Tianxia Building. I barely passed the Five Elements Test of the Tianxia Building at the end of last year."
With each sparring session, Lin Yue’s improvement speed gradually started to increase.
In just seven days, the First Strike of the Prairie Fire was adeptly integrated into his heart, and he only needed a little preparation time to unleash the First Strike of the Prairie Fire.
He also began to learn the Second Strike of the Thirteen Flames.
Speaking of it, as the Thirteen Flames progressed, not only did the realm increase, but the skill level also continuously increased.
The Prairie Fire Strike required an initial understanding of the Wind and Fire Realm within the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier to be trained, yet even when Lin Yue reached the peak of the Four Symbols, the Prairie Fire Strike still retained the terrifying power of an Ultimate Killing Skill, fast enough to instantaneously kill an enemy with one strike.
And the Second Strike of the Prairie Fire, the Wind and Fire Realm became even more profound.
But actually, once the second strike was mastered, it meant being able to consecutively unleash the terrifying speed and potent power of two Prairie Fire Strikes in a row.
Every strike could achieve the extreme power of Ultimate Killing Skills.
Once the Thirteen Flames were fully mastered, it meant achieving nearly invincible speed and slaughter beneath the Great Cultivators, capable of bursting forth thirteen times or more consecutively.
This set of thirteen strikes, the Thirteen Flames, essentially served as a process of guiding the Martial Arts Realm. With enough insight, one could master that killing skill.
Consecutively bursting thirteen times, each strike could kill enemies beneath Great Cultivators.
Its terrifying nature is imaginable.
But the drawback lies in the common flaw of Ultimate Killing Skills, which is too damaging to one’s Lifebound Essence. Simply put, it’s fighting with one’s life, training with one’s life, killing with one’s life.
Even those who attain it and have the insight mostly didn’t want to train or learn.
"Ultimate Killing Skill, indeed amazing. Only someone with recovery power as astonishing as young master should learn such sword skills."
Wu Nu also gave a suggestion, "Young master can learn a few basic Wind Element killing skills and some basic Fire Attribute killing skills. This will make it easier for you to learn this Wind and Fire killing move."
"Won’t it become too complicated?" Lin Yue asked in confusion.
"Don’t worry, it won’t."
Wu Nu said, "It’s just for reference and comparison, like breaking down a difficult problem into several small steps, making it easier to solve. Young master is now learning this Wind and Fire attribute Ultimate Killing Skill, which is a similar issue. The combination of Wind and Fire is too profound and complicated, but learning them separately is quite easy. Walking on two legs surely is faster than hopping on one."
Lin Yue understood.
After practicing according to Wu Nu’s advice, he found it indeed effective.
In just ten more days, he mastered the Second Strike of the Thirteen Flames, faster than he initially expected.
However, he didn’t only learn Martial Arts killing skills of the Wind and Fire elements; he also learned Water and Earth attribute killing skills in the Hidden Martial Pavilion of Duke Heng’s mansion.
"Water and Earth?"
Wu Nu was puzzled when he saw it, "Why did young master also learn these attribute killing skills? This Earth attribute killing skill is to temper the body, right? While it can make the body more solid, it doesn’t increase power, and the body can never match Magic Treasures in toughness. This skill, even when mastered, can’t withstand weapons."
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "I have an idea, I’d like Martial Master Wu’s advice."
...
Time passed day by day.
Finally, it came to the wedding day on November 22nd.
