Chapter 668: 142, Twelve Trials
Twenty-four Divine Hearts burst into dazzling light within the dark grand hall, mysterious auras converging from all directions.
Lin Yue opened his eyes to such a scene.
The spirit of Taihong Hall looked at him with a strange expression, as if he had seen a freak.
"You have grasped the rudiments of the Ultimate Path, haven't you?" asked the spirit of Taihong Hall.
"Yes," Lin Yue nodded slightly.
"Indeed..."
The spirit of Taihong Hall shook its head, "Apart from the seed of the Ultimate Path, no other path seed could cause so many Divine Hearts to resonate with it."
This was not beyond Lin Yue's expectation, so his expression remained calm.
"I hadn't imagined that in this era, one would still be able to find the Ultimate Path..."
The spirit of Taihong Hall lamented, "Based on the memories the God Emperor left with me, if a being who has mastered the Ultimate Path can indeed Prove and Transcend and is willing to become a god, then you can take control of all the Divine Positions here in your hands."
Lin Yue was slightly startled and asked, "Can one person control multiple Divine Positions?"
"Of course."
The spirit of Taihong Hall explained, "Divine Positions are essentially Earth Authorities, and all authority stems from the primordial, naturally they can also blend. The Reincarnation Authority that the God Emperor held was a blend of multiple Divine Positions, it's just...there seems to be some kind of taboo involved, but the God Emperor's memory didn't elaborate, so I'm not clear on the details."
Lin Yue nodded silently.
However, all this was still far from him; he hadn't even achieved Harmonization, let alone taken control of a Divine Position.
This was something to consider only after proving oneself.
"What's most important for you now is Harmonization."
The spirit of Taihong Hall spoke, "According to the memories left by the God Emperor, it seems...the difficulty of the Ultimate Path is so immense that it is nearly impossible to achieve Harmonization. Are you confident?"
"Impossible?" Lin Yue fell silent for a moment before asking, "Do you understand the Ultimate Path?"
"I do not. The God Emperor didn't leave much memory of it."
The spirit of Taihong Hall shook its head, "All I know is a little... even during the Ancient Mythological Era, only the most talented beings of the Ancient Human Clan had the chance to receive the ultimate guidance, and even then, barely one in ten would succeed in Harmonization, but... every successful individual had the potential to vie for the title of 'Taichu's Son' that illuminated the Ancient Times."
"Taichu's Son?"
Lin Yue inquired, "What is that?"
"Successor."
The spirit of Taihong Hall replied, "I'm not exactly clear, but it seems that all the Ancient Gods once had their successors, like the Earth Emperor had the Earth Emperor's Son, the Flame Emperor had the Flame Emperor's Son. Taichu's Son is apparently the most supreme among them."
Lin Yue shook his head slightly, saying nothing more.
After all, it was just mythical legend.
The Ancient Human Clan had already perished; no matter how glorious they had been, what did it matter now?
During the era when the Ancient Divine Beings existed, cultivation conditions must have been much better than now. Only the top geniuses could receive the ultimate guidance, but even then, the success rate for Harmonization was one in ten.
It seemed indeed nearly impossible to succeed in Harmonization.
He had no confidence in his heart.
"How should one achieve Harmonization for the Ultimate Path? Have you heard anything?" Lin Yue still asked the question.
"I have not heard." The spirit of Taihong Hall shook its head, then added, "But the God Emperor should know; you could ask Him."
Lin Yue remained silent.
However, the God Emperor had already died.
And it seemed there was no way to obtain his memories anymore; otherwise, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince would have told him by now.
So...
He had to rely on himself.
"However, even without Harmonization, your current strength should be able to match the top exceptional beings entering sainthood, right?"
The spirit of Taihong Hall sighed, "If you can successfully Harmonize, even without transcending, as long as you wield a Divine Artifact and completely merge with it, you should be able to fully unleash the power of the artifact, likely enough to contend with those who have proven themselves."
Lin Yue said nothing.
He wasn't certain about Harmonization, nor was he able to completely merge with a divine artifact.
His Divine Artifact Battle Saber, the Infinite Starry Sky, he merely deepened the master recognition, which was far from complete merging.
Complete merging meant the artifact would fully recognize its master, but first, one had to have the strength to truly activate the artifact.
He remembered that to truly make the Battle Saber recognize its master, it had to be used until death in battle.
Although he had an idea in mind, unless he was driven into a corner, he would not do so.
So, for the time being, there was no need to think about it.
"Although you have resonated with these Divine Hearts, you haven't yet developed your Inner Heaven and Earth, nor can you refine these Divine Powers."
The spirit of Taihong Hall scanned the Divine Hearts and then said to Lin Yue, "You may leave. If you can successfully Harmonize, you may absorb the Divine Power here as you wish."
Lin Yue understood what it meant.
Even the diluted Taichu Divine Power, he had to rely on the essence of the Eternal Night Holy Grade just for preliminary refinement; these Divine Powers were not inferior to the diluted Taichu Divine Power, he had no hope of refining them.
However...
"But since I have received the resonance of these Divine Hearts, I should be able to draw upon these Divine Powers now, right?" Lin Yue asked.
"You can't refine them now, and your body can't contain them, so what's the point of drawing upon these Divine Powers so prematurely?" the spirit of Taihong Hall queried with perplexity.
Lin Yue said, "I have a treasure that can store Divine Power."
"Oh?" The spirit of Taihong Hall showed a trace of curiosity.
Lin Yue flipped his hand, and immediately brought out a bronze cauldron about one zhang tall, floating it in mid-air.
"What is this?" asked the spirit of Taihong Hall in confusion.
"A treasure."
Lin Yue declared, "After I draw the Divine Power, I'll use it to store it, I should be able to do so, right?"
