Chapter 799: 203, Transcendence_2
This comprehension was simply astonishing.
The further one progressed in cultivation, the less important innate talent became. Comprehension and opportunity were of greater importance.
Looking back at the Primordial Era, never had she seen such an astonishing level of comprehension.
"Perhaps, he was born to walk this Ultimate Path?" The Master of Yanfu sized up Lin Yue, speculating silently.
The Taichu Divine Race possessed the Heavenly Bloodline. Although it was passed down through a single line, as long as the bloodline was inherited, one would inevitably succeed in Harmonization. This was because the bloodline was perfectly aligned with the Ultimate Path.
Some people were particularly suited to a certain path.
Perhaps Lin Yue was born for this Ultimate Path?
"Very good."
The Master of Yanfu smiled and said, "I grow more hopeful for your future. Before Heaven and Earth reach their end, I hope you can prove and transcend, as that would make things interesting."
She immediately pointed her finger, and vast and formless cosmic laws descended with a roar, enveloping Lin Yue and beginning the reshaping of his Divine Soul.
...
After Lin Yue regained consciousness, he began to harmonize again.
This time, he used the Perfect Inner Heaven and Earth Cultivation Method. The process of opening the Ultimate Inner Heaven and Earth was almost seamless, extremely smooth.
The chaotic Inner Heaven and Earth fused perfectly with his Spiritual Body and Divine Soul, without the slightest discomfort.
Naturally, there would be no more incidents of the Divine Soul collapsing.
"It's finally done..."
Lin Yue mumbled to himself as he sensed his current state, feeling boundless hope rise in his heart.
Although his strength had not changed at all, his entire power could now be unleashed without any restrictions, no longer requiring the previous cautiousness.
"Congratulations."
The corner of the Master of Yanfu's lips lifted slightly, "You are the thirteenth person in our Human Clan to master the Ultimate Path. If we were still in the Ancient Times, myriad races would gather to celebrate, and all gods would bestow blessings."
Lin Yue was taken aback.
Myriad races gathering to celebrate, all gods bestowing blessings?
It seemed like quite the spectacle.
But that was understandable, given that he had entered sainthood through Harmonization with the Ultimate Path.
Even without refining divine power, he could rival those who had proved the Dao, and his potential was extremely high. With Taichu Divine Power and a lifebound divine artifact, he would only fall short of the Son of God.
Such a person, being of high rank within the Ancient Human Clan, naturally held an extraordinary position.
"Unfortunately, it's no longer the Ancient Times." Lin Yue shook his head.
The Master of Yanfu gave him a glance and said casually, "I've prepared the treasures you need. However, you'll first need to use Taichu Divine Power to refine a divine body and allow your lifebound divine artifact to transform before they become effective. Do you plan to return to Eternal Night first, or prepare here before going back?"
"I'll prepare here before returning."
Lin Yue replied without hesitation.
His current strength was merely enough to contend with one or two Demon Clan Ancestors, having little influence on the overall situation.
Delivering the treasures prepared by the Master of Yanfu back to Great Yong was essential.
But even with these treasures, relying solely on the Second Prince, who could only unleash part of his strength, and his missing biological father Xiahong Feng, they couldn't defeat the Heavenly Demon Ancestor.
Especially when the Demon Clan still had the second Primordial Spirit of Xiahou Shou.
Since there was still time, it was better to cultivate here. With a time acceleration of three hundred and sixty-five times, much time could be saved.
"That's quite rational."
The Master of Yanfu glanced at him, then waved a sleeve to give him a slender bottle of pale gold, saying casually, "This contains three hundred drops of Taichu Divine Power, enough for your lifebound divine artifact to transform and for you to refine a perfect divine body. However, a perfect divine body still requires your Ultimate Path to reach perfection."
Lin Yue nodded.
The prerequisite for condensing a Divine Heart was transcending Heaven and Earth, while refining the perfect divine body required Harmonization to reach perfection.
Achieving perfection in Harmonization didn't really elevate one's realm; it mainly expanded one's breadth.
Once the Heavenly Reversal Path was perfected, one could begin touching upon other aspects, such as affecting the void, spirit, and so on.
And what about the Ultimate Path?
Lin Yue could roughly see the road ahead, but since there was an excellent teacher before him, there was no need to guess randomly: "What does it mean for the Ultimate Path to reach perfection?"
"It's hard to say."
The Master of Yanfu replied, "It's a depth of the realm. When you've comprehended enough, your understanding of Heaven and Earth will verge on omniscience. At that time, all paths will be transparent to you, easy to grasp; this is when the Ultimate Path is perfected."
Lin Yue pondered.
"For example, myself."
The Master of Yanfu said, "Before my Ultimate Path reached perfection, I mastered the reverse heavens paths of cause and effect, the origin of the Five Elements, space and time, and infinity. With enough depth accumulated, I then achieved perfection."
Lin Yue nodded slightly. The paths he had mastered were already quite numerous.
"This isn't too difficult to achieve; you won't need many more years with your comprehension."
The Master of Yanfu said, "You've already perfected the Inner Heaven and Earth Cultivation Method. Your Dao Heart is also perfected. For the Ultimate Path, the hardest part is transcending the Tribulation of Daoist related to Heaven and Earth."
Lin Yue furrowed his brows and said, "The tribulation of proving the Dao is the hardest? Isn't it said that the stronger one's strength, the easier it is to withstand the tribulation of proving the Dao?"
Proving and transcending essentially meant breaking through the last Heavenly Barrier known as 'Primordial Chaos.'
As long as one's Dao was perfected, cultivation methods were perfected, and Dao Heart was perfected, one could attempt to break free from the constraints of Heaven and Earth, triggering the Heaven and Earth Tribulation.
Once you survived the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, you would be considered to have proven and transcended.
Generally, ordinary saints had little to no chance of proving and transcending; only those who were reverse heavens saints had a small percentage of success. The stronger one's strength, the more likely one was to prove and transcend.
Therefore, someone like the Second Prince, who mastered part of the Ultimate Path, would find it easy to withstand the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, making proving and transcending quite straightforward.
But...
For the Ultimate Path to prove and transcend, it was actually the hardest?
"It is true; the stronger the strength, the easier to withstand the proving."
The Master of Yanfu nodded gently and said, "The tribulation of proving the Dao wouldn't harm you in the slightest, yet you just couldn't transcend Heaven and Earth."
"What do you mean?" Lin Yue couldn't help but be taken aback.
"It's exactly as it sounds."
The Master of Yanfu said, "Proving and transcending are two steps. First, you withstand the tribulation of Heaven and Earth; this proves your Dao, and only then can you transcend Heaven and Earth, like a fish jumping from a river to the shore."
She pointed a finger, and the half-space of the Divine Palace immediately manifested a wide river, with visible fish swimming within.
"Ordinary fish can jump out of the river, as long as they have enough strength and understand the flow well enough, they can leap from the water onto the shore."
With the Master of Yanfu's voice echoing, several fish in the river struggled mightily, emerging from the water, and even jumping onto the shore.
"But the Ultimate Path is different."
In the next moment, a massive whale appeared in the river. Even though the river was wide, it just barely contained the whale's body; indeed, the whale was wedged within the river channel.
The whale struggled desperately, causing waves of water to splash, but it could only manage to lift part of its body out of the water, unable to escape entirely.
"Those who harmonize with the Ultimate Path, their life essence is actually on par with Heaven and Earth."
The Master of Yanfu said, "This heaven and earth doesn't care much about other beings, but it doesn't want you to transcend, hoping you stay within the constants of Heaven and Earth's cycles. Thus, Heaven and Earth will do everything to bind you, preventing you from leaving. No matter how you struggle, at best you can only lift part of your body out of the water; completely escaping is quite difficult."
Lin Yue understood.
He hesitated a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Since there are such bindings of Heaven and Earth, how did the three Taichu Divine Sons transcend?"
"No matter how great the bindings of Heaven and Earth are, they have their limits."
The Master of Yanfu smiled and said, "As long as you become strong enough to exceed those limits, and possess a Divine Heart that transcends Heaven and Earth just like a divine being, you can transcend Heaven and Earth naturally."
Lin Yue was slightly stunned, furrowing his brow, and said, "Isn't it said that without proving and transcending, one cannot grasp a Divine Heart?"
"When you have passed the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, you'll understand."
The Master of Yanfu said, "Once you've passed the Heaven and Earth Tribulation and proven the Dao successfully, you'll be like a fish reaching the surface, able to see beyond Heaven and Earth. At that point, you'll start trying to break free from the constraints. Although you might not be able to completely escape, temporarily breaking free in part can allow your consciousness to transcend Heaven and Earth momentarily."
"In this way, it becomes possible to condense a Divine Heart, even if it's just for a short time, but there's still a chance."
"To put it simply, you can condense a Divine Heart with Taichu Divine Power, and you'll have achieved proving and transcending."
The Master of Yanfu sighed and said, "The three of us Taichu Divine Sons did it like this."
