You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 584 - 104. The Princes’ Secret

Such bizarre things could only occur in the cultivation world.

"So that’s how it is."

Lin Yue used divine thought transmission, "So Madam Yunfei was an undercover agent sent by the Human Clan to the Demon Clan, which makes her a meritorious official of the Human Clan, but why was it never made public? I’ve heard that when the Great Yong Divine Formation was broken in those years, many uninformed people were suspicious of Brother Ming King and Madam Yunfei. If this matter were made public..."

"If it were made public, it would be the same."

The Fifteenth Prince shook his head slightly, transmitting, "The preconceptions of people’s hearts are very hard to change. They are already suspicious. Even if they knew my mother was undercover in the Demon Clan, the true Demon God, they would still doubt that my mother’s true self was also turned."

Lin Yue nodded slowly.

Indeed, there was no rebutting that point.

Even in the mortal society of his past life, similar phenomena existed. After an undercover agent returned from years of deep cover, even as a major meritorious figure, they would still be suspected.

Respect and suspicion often happened in an instant.

Once the seed of suspicion was planted, it was hard to uproot.

"My mother knows this well, so she has resided in the deep palace for many years, not having seen the Second Primordial Spirit for over a thousand years."

The Fifteenth Prince glanced at Lin Yue, transmitting, "I am not much interested in the throne. I just want to clear my mother’s and my own names; if someone like the Seventeenth Brother could take the throne, it wouldn’t be too bad."

Lin Yue was slightly astonished, then shook his head lightly, "Brother, I have no interest in the throne either."

"Haha, you’ll find out whether the throne benefits you only after you become a Sealing King." The Fifteenth Prince laughed.

Lin Yue lifted an eyebrow slightly.

He had heard that one could only understand the true benefits of becoming the Divine Emperor after being crowned king.

This seemed to be the fundamental reason for the princes’ struggles for power.

However, the Fifteenth Prince left a good impression on him, not like the demon-grown wicked character in the rumors.

Silently, the two communicated through divine thought transmission swiftly; they finished talking in the time it took for a maid to refill the tea.

Lin Yue picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Just as he set the teacup down, he saw the Seventh Princess, who was sitting opposite him, looking at him. She then actively transmitted, "Brother, why would the Third Prince invite both of us to the birthday banquet, knowing the grudge between you, me, and the Twelfth Prince?"

"I don’t know," Lin Yue replied through transmission, "Maybe to help mediate?"

"I know you surely wouldn’t mediate." The Seventh Princess transmitted, "Don’t worry, even though the Demon Path is powerful today, with Fourth brother present, they wouldn’t dare to coerce."

Lin Yue chuckled and said, "Would Fourth Brother intervene in this matter?"

"Of course." The Seventh Princess said confidently, "Fourth Brother is a reincarnation of great power from my Buddhist Sect, compassionate and very kind to me."

"Sister Qiuhe knew Fourth Brother in a previous life?" Lin Yue asked.

He knew the Seventh Princess was a Suffering Relief Bodhisattva in her past life and naturally trusted her as he had learned her secret.

As for the Fourth Prince, he wasn’t too clear; all he knew was that he was a reincarnation of great power from the Buddhist sect, but he hadn’t heard which specific one.

"Well... I’m not sure about that."

The Seventh Princess transmitted, "But the past being past, not wanting to speak about it is normal. I’ve only told you and Fourth Brother about my past life and never anyone else."

"Sister Qiuhe, even being a Great Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect in your previous life, couldn’t guess which great power Fourth Brother is in the Buddhist sect?" Lin Yue was curious.

In Buddhism, a Bodhisattva is akin to an Immortal in Daoism.

A Great Bodhisattva is of an extraordinary level.

As for Buddha, it represents the stage where Dao, Dao Heart, and Cultivation Technique are all perfect but have not undergone tribulation; it is normal even if their strength is not as great as that of a Great Bodhisattva.

Proving Dao required not only a perfect Dao Heart but also a perfect Dao. Simultaneously, one’s strength should be formidable enough to pass through the tribulation of Daoist to break free from worldly constraints and truly transcend in proving Dao.

A Dao Heart being perfect depended only on cognition and will; Cultivation Technique needed only to be perfected with the realm, and a normal Dao could also be perfect; it was just difficult to prove Dao due to insufficient strength.

In the Buddhist sect, the perfection of these three was known as the perfect practice and could be called a Buddha.

Therefore, there were quite a few Buddhas in the Buddhist sect.

However, the truly transcended Buddha who proved the Dao seemed to be only the Buddha Ancestor.

However, there were also traitors in the Buddhist sect, like the Blood Sea Saint Mother, so it’s hard to say.

"I really can’t guess."

The Seventh Princess said helplessly, "Fourth Brother also said there’s no need to mention past events. I can’t exactly chase after him and ask, you know? He’s probably a Great Bodhisattva with the hope of proving Dao in his past life; isn’t this the pattern for choosing princes by the Divine Emperor?"

Lin Yue nodded in tacit agreement.

That was absolutely right.

The baseline for the Divine Emperor’s selection of princes was those with the hope of proving Dao’s extraordinary existence in the past life.

However, exceptions were also evident.

The Crown Prince was the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor.

As for the Second Prince, if not mistaken, it might be that one... freewebnσvel.cøm

Even Xia Lie’s previous life as a Demon God couldn’t be ruled out.

So things couldn’t be certain either.

Of course, most of the princes and princesses were indeed like this. If the Third Prince was the reincarnation of the Primordial Demon Ancestor, then it fit this pattern well.

Legend had it that the Primordial Demon Ancestor was someone who had a perfect Dao Heart capable of nearly ten thousand years, but due to the inherent flaws in the Demon Path Cultivation Technique, was destined not to prove the Dao.

Yet, if such a person reincarnated as Xiahong’s prince, with the most perfect ancient god cultivation path, proving the Dao and transcending would be effortless.

"It might be because my connection with the Fourth Prince isn’t strong enough, so I haven’t learned of the Fourth Prince’s secret..."

Lin Yue didn’t mind this.

After all, the Fourth Prince bore no animosity towards him and was recognized as an honest person; even the Second Prince had mentioned that the Fourth Prince was of great compassion, a person of ultimate kindness.
