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

"Yes," Lin Yue nodded slightly and asked, "Can you teach me now?"

"Ha-ha, very good."

The Tomb Spirit immediately laughed and nodded, "Of course, no problem."

With a wave of his sleeve, a six-legged bronze cauldron about nine feet tall appeared in midair of the tomb chamber.

"This is the 'Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron.'"

The Tomb Spirit said, "In some ways, it could be considered a Divine Artifact, but now it's only a Semi-Divine Artifact."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yue inquired curiously while examining the bronze cauldron.

"With the help of this cauldron, you can refine and eliminate the impurities of the Eternal Night Twelve Holy Grade, preserving the essence and melding it into one."

The Tomb Spirit said, "After refining the essence of the Holy Grade, if you possess Taichu Divine Power, by merging this Holy Grade essence, your process of refining the Taichu Divine Power will be much more effective; that's the benefit of a Semi-Divine Artifact."

He pointed at the bronze cauldron again and said, "If you could gather various Divine Powers and infuse them into this Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron, it could possess the power of a Divine Artifact, turning the Holy Grade essence and various Divine Powers into an extraordinary 'pseudo-Taichu Divine Power.' Crucially, this pseudo-Taichu Divine Power can also replenish real Taichu Divine Power."

Lin Yue understood.

This cauldron had two functions—

One was to refine Eternal Night Twelve Holy Grade into Holy Grade essence, aiding in the refining of Taichu Divine Power.

The other was to blend various Divine Powers into pseudo-Taichu Divine Power, which could also replenish real Taichu Divine Power.

"You mean, after the Taichu Divine Power is consumed, it cannot replenish itself?" Lin Yue asked.

"Of course."

The Tomb Spirit explained, "Not just Taichu Divine Power, all Divine Powers are like this, originating from nowhere. Once consumed, you can only replenish by absorbing the same Divine Power. Only the Ancient Gods can generate Divine Power from within."

Lin Yue suddenly realized.

Thus, the value of this Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron was astonishing.

Taichu Divine Power must be extremely rare, used little by little.

Yet this Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron could blend other Divine Powers to replenish it, showing its significant utility.

"However, if Divine Power is used up little by little, no matter how abundant it is in the heavens and earth, will it eventually be exhausted?" Lin Yue suddenly asked.

"Indeed," the Tomb Spirit nodded slightly, "so in the future, even if you obtain Divine Power, you must cherish it."

Lin Yue nodded slightly.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know, with the help of the essence of the Eternal Night Holy Grade, at what level can one refine Taichu Divine Power?"

The Tomb Spirit thought briefly and replied, "Without Holy Grade essence, even if you master the real Ultimate Path, you'd only be able to refine Taichu Divine Power after Proving and Transcending, and in the Harmonization Stage, at most you'd struggle to control it like the Ancestor of the Demon Clan."

"With Holy Grade essence?" Lin Yue asked.

The Tomb Spirit smiled and said, "In that case, just wait until you reach Harmonization, establish and perfect your Inner Heaven and Earth, then you'll gradually be able to refine Taichu Divine Power."

Lin Yue somewhat understood.

He inquired further, "What if one hasn't reached Harmonization but has only mastered the rudiments of the Ultimate Path?"

"This..."

The Tomb Spirit immediately shook his head, "Merely the rudiment, without having established Inner Heaven and Earth, then it's fundamentally impossible, even struggling to control it would be extremely difficult."

Lin Yue seemed pensive and then asked, "What if it's a weakened form of Taichu Divine Power?"

"Weakened?" the Tomb Spirit questioned.

Lin Yue explained, "Do you know about the Empress? She wields the True Water Path of the Taiyin and also possesses the Taiyin Body and Innate Water Virtue Body, and she has accommodated the Taichu Divine Power extracted from the Human Ancestor."

"Ah, I see."

The Tomb Spirit said, "When the Human Ancestor was drawn into the dream by the Taichu Divine Power, he merged with the Taichu Divine Power, and the extracted Taichu Divine Power was already mixed with the Human Ancestor's Life Force, quite dilute, and furthermore diluted by the True Water of the Taiyin, significantly weakened indeed."

He pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, once you master the rudiment of the Ultimate Path, you should be able to control such weakened Taichu Divine Power."

Lin Yue nodded slightly.

He had thought that he would have to wait until after Harmonization to obtain Taichu Divine Power from the Empress.

Now it appeared, once he mastered the rudiments of the Ultimate Path, that might be sufficient?

"However, even weakened Taichu Divine Power should still be no less than the faux Taichu Divine Power synthesized from Multiple Divine Power."

The Tomb Spirit instructed, "So, you should still be careful. If you rush it, you might be counteracted by the Taichu Divine Power or even assimilated. The assimilation by Taichu Divine Power is much more terrible than other Divine Powers."

Lin Yue nodded slightly.

He still wasn't clear about what exactly Ancient Divine Power was or what the specific situation was.

However, the most urgent matter was still to master the Ultimate Path.

"You can now refine the Eternal Night Twelve Holy Grade into Holy Grade essence."

The Tomb Spirit said, "Within the Holy Grade essence, your Divine Soul can get closer to Taichu, and it will still be easier to master the Ultimate Path."

"Oh?" Lin Yue revealed a hint of joy.

"Now, you should first acknowledge the Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron."

The Tomb Spirit said, "Shallow level recognition is simple, just imprint your Divine Thought, and it can only be used to refine the Eternal Night Holy Grade. For deep level recognition, you must wait until you truly master the Ultimate Path, and only then can you synthesize faux Taichu Divine Power."

Lin Yue nodded slightly and immediately imprinted his Divine Thought on the Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron.

"Hum..."

Moments later, the Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron trembled, spun in mid-air, and shrank to the size of a palm, landing in his hand.

"That's a huge space," Lin Yue couldn't help but exclaim.

The storage treasure of exceptional Spiritual Treasure level that he had obtained before was already big enough.

But the Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron's internal storage space was even more exaggerated, almost encompassing tens of thousands of yards, that is, an area of hundreds of miles!

Such a gigantic space could easily contain mountains and rivers.

"Because it is also considered a Semi-Divine Artifact level storage space," the Tomb Spirit laughed. "The storage space is just an attached feature."

Lin Yue nodded slightly and immediately controlled the Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron to collect the floating Eternal Night Twelve Holy Grade into it.

Then, he infused Primordial Power to activate it.

"Hmm?"

As Lin Yue activated it, he suddenly felt the Primordial Power inside his body pouring out like rivers, the consumption rate astonishingly high.

He immediately flipped his hand to take out an Immortal Pill to replenish his Primordial Power, held it in his mouth, and transformed it into Primordial Power.

"Immortal Pill? That's quite luxurious."

The Tomb Spirit smiled and said, "This Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron can completely transform the Eternal Night Holy Grade into the purest essence, and, with a special ratio and state combined, it melts together to produce such divine effects. Only the Crown Prince, with the help of the Heavenly Dao's calculations, could create such an exquisite treasure. The Ancestor of the Demon Clan couldn't even imagine doing it."

Lin Yue, busy activating the Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron, had no time to say more.

After consuming a total of six Immortal Pills to replenish Primordial Power, the Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron finally stopped absorbing Primordial Power and quieted down.

"It's done!"

The lid of the cauldron slowly opened, and a wisp of dim light flowed out from within.

"The aura of Taichu... this is the essence concocted from the Eternal Night Holy Grade," the Tomb Spirit remarked nostalgically.

Lin Yue moved his Divine Thought, and the wisp of Holy Grade essence immediately flew into his brow.

Then, it quietly entered his sea of consciousness, merging into his Divine Soul.

At this moment, Lin Yue felt as if he had returned to the Supreme Inheritance Altar, enveloped by a warmth that felt like an embryo in his belly.

Simultaneously, he sensed a strand of wonderful will.

He could vaguely feel that this strand of will came from some supreme existence, an infinite incarnation, the only one in the world, reigning above heaven and earth...

Could this be... Taichu?

"Ultimate Path..."

At this moment, Lin Yue's understanding of the so-called Ultimate Path became even clearer.

"It's close... not far now."
