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

"There's nothing much, although the expedition mission wasn't completed, we did capture many mutant beasts in the Northern Ridge, and the gains were significant."

Zuo Tianchui slightly shook his head and then said, "However... Your Highness, the Dawn Army encountered a Demon King within a thousand miles of the Divine Array, and that Demon King was extremely formidable, holding several semi-divine artifacts and was actually comparable to a Heavenly Demon Saint."

He sighed, "Had it not been for the Dawn Army forming an array, which was unafraid of the threat posed by the Heavenly Demon Saint, I fear that the Demon King alone could have slaughtered us all."

"That Demon King is indeed terrifying," Lin Yue nodded slightly.

He also had to admit that the Demon King, with the capability of the Three Talents Heaven Barrier realm and the aid of semi-divine artifacts, was indeed stronger than he currently was.

"What I'm worried about is that the Demon King will linger within a thousand miles of the Divine Array, or even guard near the outpost's exit."

Zuo Tianchui frowned and said, "If so, that would be troublesome."

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, understanding his meaning.

Proving Saints would not leave Great Yong.

Those below the Proving Saints, those who have received Divine Power, would not enter Eternal Night.

Thus, only those defying Saints could possibly handle this matter.

For that Demon King, the average defying Saint wouldn't pose much of a threat.

If that Demon King were to guard the outpost's exit and attack to kill when the Dawn Army passed in batches before having formed an array, it would indeed be a great threat.

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Yue smiled and said, "If that Demon King dares to do so, it won't be of any use. After you report this matter to the Imperial Master, with her strength accompanying the army's expedition, she will naturally be able to resist the Demon King. If not, we can just borrow an appropriate semi-divine artifact, and the Demon King will have no choice but to flee."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Tianchui also nodded slightly, feeling a lot more at ease.

...

Days passed peacefully again.

The Seventh Princess heard that Lin Yue had returned and specifically visited him for a chat.

These days, after returning home, Lin Yue appeared to be truly relaxing, spending his entire day with his children and wife, and casually fishing or reading during spare moments—a truly pleasant life.

However, Baili Fengzhi sensed there was some amazing transformation happening within him.

"Your Highness, are you practicing some special cultivation method?" One day, Baili Fengzhi couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel like there's some sort of special change in Your Highness?"

"Haha, you noticed?" Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh.

He nodded and didn't hide it, saying, "During this time in Eternal Night, I obtained a drop of Original Divine Blood. After refining its essence, I also acquired a Divine Art that originated from the Ancient Gods."

"Divine Art?" Baili Fengzhi was startled.

"It's not much of a boost to strength."

Lin Yue spoke casually, "The Divine Art I obtained is called 'Embracing All Rivers.' It's used to transform the body and Divine Soul, allowing for a higher limit on Primordial Power reception in the body and making the Divine Soul more adept at multitasking and enhancing the recovery speed of Divine Thought."

In simple terms, it increased the overall capacity without altering the quality.

He planned to visit the Imperial Mausoleum of the former dynasty this time, to find out what exactly were the 'ambitions of the former dynasty and the secrets of the Divine Emperor.'

Moreover, according to the secret of the Sixth Ring Level last time, as long as one was unpredictable, carrying the Emperor Yu Token into the Imperial Mausoleum, and having with them the Eternal Night Twelve Holy Grade, there was a chance to receive immense benefits.

He was also very interested in those so-called immense benefits.

However, he vaguely felt that the so-called Divine Art might help on this journey, and he decided to only enter the Imperial Mausoleum of the former dynasty after he had finished cultivating the Divine Art, having made all preparations.

...

Time passed slowly.

The Divine Art was not difficult to cultivate, and in just three months, it had already been mastered.

"It's time, I can finally enter the Imperial Mausoleum of the former dynasty." Lin Yue couldn't help but feel some anticipation.
