You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"Treasure?"

Lin Yue's eyes gleamed slightly.

Great Yong clearly had the National Guardian Array, so why had it still fallen into such dire straits at the hands of the Demon Clan?

The key lay in the treasures Xiahou Shou had brought from the Ancient Times, each related to the Ancient Master and each possessing inconceivable mystical powers, which even the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were powerless against.

And now, Yanfu, the one who knew the Ancient Master best, was willing to help?

"But even with external assistance, dealing with the Son of God who possesses the Lifebound Sovereign Artifact is still quite difficult."

Yanfu, leaning back in her chair, said, "At the level of the Son of God, only below us who are the children of the earliest times, there are very few external forces that can make a difference, and even fewer that can threaten their lives."

Seeing Lin Yue frowning, she smiled and added, "Of course, while rare, they are not nonexistent. During the Ancient Times, nearly half of the world was under my control, and over thirty percent of the treasures are with me, including a few that can indeed affect the Sons of Gods, and one or two that can threaten their lives."

Lin Yue secretly sighed in relief.

In Ancient Times, the Lord from the Other Shore was not much involved in conflicts; mainly it was Yanfu and the Ancient Master who fought. It made sense that Yanfu controlled nearly half of the world.

"However, most of these treasures are intended for the Human Clan."

Yanfu continued, "Especially the ones with significant threat, they are absolutely controlled by the Human Clan, and not to be used by unforeseen individuals; hence, the key still lies with you."

"Me?" Lin Yue slightly furrowed his brows and asked, "With my power, what kind of treasure could kill the Son of God?"

He had thought that if the Second Prince were to use the external forces mentioned by Yanfu, he might have a chance in defeating the Heavenly Demon Ancestor.

But... it was meant for him to use?

It wasn't that he underestimated himself.

It was just that the power of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was even more astonishing.

Not only did he possess the Lifebound Sovereign Artifact, but he had also transcended partially through the Ultimate Path and even formed a Divine Heart from Divine Lord Level Divine Power!

And Lin Yue?

In terms of the realm of cultivation, even if he reconstructed his Divine Soul and successfully achieved Harmonization, even reaching Perfect Harmonization, it still wouldn't compare to partially transcending through the Ultimate Path.

In terms of Divine Artifacts, a Lifebound Divine Artifact with the core of Harmonization Level Ultimate Path couldn't transform into a Sovereign level.

In terms of divine power, Divine Lord Level Divine Power and pseudo-Taichu Divine Power were comparable.

And without Transcending Heaven and Earth, it was impossible for him to form a Divine Heart; at best, he could only refine his Divine Body.

Path, Divine Artifacts, and levels of refining divine power... he was a level lower in every aspect.

All things considered, the gap was simply vast as heaven and earth.

With such an enormous gap, what kind of external force would be sufficient to bridge it?

"With your current strength alone, no matter what kind of external force, you could not kill a Son of God possessing a Lifebound Divine Artifact."

Yanfu smiled and said, "However, if you can close the gap between you and the Son of God, there is a certain chance; the closer your strengths, the greater the chance."

"Close the gap?"

Lin Yue fell silent for a moment and then said, "Even if I achieve Harmonization and Perfect Harmonization, and even if I refine a Perfect Divine Body, the gap between myself and the Son of God would still be significant."

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked, "Could it be... you can help me form a Divine Heart before transcending?"

"How could that be possible?" Yanfu laughed dryly. "Divine beings stand above Heaven and Earth, if you do not transcend, always remaining within Heaven and Earth, how could you possibly form a Divine Heart?"

Lin Yue fell silent.

"Haha..."

Yanfu chuckled and said, "Actually, the solution is simple. If you cannot surpass the Son of God in realm, then why not surpass him in the foundation?"

"Surpass in foundation?" Lin Yue said, puzzled.

For mortals, the foundation means physical fitness.

The realm refers to the techniques of exerting force and real battle skills.

At their level, the foundation translated to Inner Heaven and Earth; the stronger the Inner Heaven and Earth, the stronger the foundational strength.

The Inner Heaven and Earth evolved by the Ultimate Path was naturally extraordinary; even if not yet transcended and refined into a true Heaven and Earth, it was comparable to the Inner Heaven and Earth of normal transcendence.

And Divine Power was the force driving the operation of the Inner Heaven and Earth.

That too was an enhancement of foundation.

Pseudo-Taichu Divine Power and Divine Lord Level Divine Power were comparable, only his level of refinement was far from that of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor.

"Could it be..."

Lin Yue suddenly realized and looked at Yanfu, asking, "Are you suggesting... that I refine the true Taichu Divine Power?"

"Exactly." Yanfu smiled, "True Taichu Divine Power is the ultimate divine force between Heaven and Earth. Only we, the three children of Taichu, can extract such divine power from Heaven and Earth, surpassing even Divine Lord Level Divine Power. If you can refine Taichu Divine Power, even just the Divine Body, it will certainly be on par with the Divine Heart of the Son of God."

She glanced at Lin Yue and said, "And your Lifebound Divine Artifact, if you just reabsorb Taichu Divine Power as a foundational structure, even if your Path as the core of your artifact is still not at the transcendent level of the Ultimate Path, it could still be regarded as a 'semi-finished Ultimate Divine Artifact', not inferior to a Dominator Artifact."

Lin Yue couldn't help feeling excited.

If so, in terms of Divine Power and Divine Artifacts, he could be on par with the Heavenly Demon Ancestor!

That left only a difference of one level in the realm of the Path.

But the gap was no longer outrageously large; it was very close, very close indeed.

"But... can I refine the true Taichu Divine Power?"

Lin Yue asked uncertainly.

"Of course not," Yanfu said with a slight smile.
