You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 397 - 20, Great Benefit 2

The cultivation method was the foundation, while true skills were techniques.

To reach this step, not only did one need an extremely strong foundation, enough to rival the highest secret techniques of the Demon Clan, but also had to create defiant true skills to have a chance.

Among the Human Clan's Body Refining Techniques, only the "Three Thousand Hell Body" created by Xiahou Shou reached the level of the highest secret techniques.

After all, the physique of the Human Clan was far inferior to that of the Demon Clan, and catching up with the Demon Clan's highest secret techniques in body refinement was extremely difficult.

Even in Qi Cultivation Methods, those that could be considered on par with the highest secret techniques were very few.

Moreover, the difficulty of cultivating them was extremely high.

"You have such strength, which gives me some relief."

The man in the blue robe said, "The Demon Clan wanting to kill you, unless a Demon Saint took action, it would be difficult. Although there are Demon Kings capable of killing you, the Demon Clan would not sacrifice them as pawns."

Lin Yue understood this reasoning as well.

"Take this." The man in the blue robe suddenly waved his hand.

A slightly ancient and broken sword blade floated toward Lin Yue.

Lin Yue reached out to catch it, puzzled, "Master, what is this?"

"Do not put it in your storage ring, keep it with you for protection," the man in the blue robe said casually.

"Oh?"

Lin Yue immediately understood that this item was extremely precious, carefully storing it.

The man in the blue robe pondered for a moment and said, "I once said that after you pass the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, I would give you a great benefit, but it seems unnecessary now."

Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "What did Master intend to give?"

"I originally planned to give you a mutant beast to protect you," the man in the blue robe smiled, "But now that you have the even better Phoenix Crown, it's unnecessary. Instead, I'll gift you the Exotic Beast Essence to nurture the Phoenix Crown."

Lin Yue glanced at the Phoenix Crown on his shoulder, helplessly saying, "Master, nurturing the Phoenix Crown is still a long way off."

"Isn't the Phoenix Crown grown by devouring Exotic Beast Essence?"

The man in the blue robe said, "I will give you enough essence to nurture the Phoenix Crown to the peak of the King Rank, which is much stronger than the mutant beast I originally intended to give you."

"But don't beasts have to transform during the Eternal Night?" Lin Yue couldn't help saying.

This was common knowledge.

Those mutant beasts captured by the Human Clan in the Great Yong territory, even if they bore offspring, the offspring could not transform and grow, as they must be in the Eternal Night.

It seemed... there was a mysterious force within the Eternal Night, essential for the growth and transformation of beasts?

"You are mistaken."

The man in the blue robe shook his head slightly, saying, "What you are talking about is the Eternal Night Strange Beast. To be precise, the beasts born after the Eternal Night need to grow within the Eternal Night. In fact, a True Dragon, Phoenix, or Golden-winged Roc can transform and grow, even outside the Eternal Night."

He glanced at the Phoenix Crown on Lin Yue's shoulder, saying, "The Phoenix Crown existed before the Eternal Night and from the Ancient Mythological Era. How could it be restricted by the Eternal Night?" freēnovelkiss.com

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That's good, as I was afraid I would have to travel to the Eternal Night for the Phoenix Crown to transform."

"You should visit the Eternal Night, it would be beneficial for tempering your Dao Heart," the man in the blue robe smiled, "But not now, at least prepare thoroughly first."

"Yes," Lin Yue nodded, then asked, "How many essences does the Phoenix Crown require to transform?"

The man in the blue robe pondered for a while and said, "I do not know how much essence your Phoenix Crown needs to devour to transform, hmm... in this way."

He produced a token, saying, "From today onwards, take my token to the Myriad Beasts Hall, and let your Phoenix Crown devour essences until it reaches its limit."

Lin Yue's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask, "Can it reach the level of a Holy Beast?"

"How is that possible?" The man in the blue robe laughed, "To transform into a Holy Beast, it must devour Holy Beast Essence. The Myriad Beasts Hall doesn't have Holy Beast Essence. What I originally intended to arrange for you was a very powerful Red Luan among Exotic Beast Kings."

"Red Luan?" Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly.

He had never encountered a Red Luan in the Eternal Night Illusion Realm, not because they didn't exist, but because Red Luans were too powerful, and at their peak, they could rival the Seventh Layer of Tianxia Building.

In the Eternal Night Illusion Realm, he only battled with relatively ordinary Beast Kings.

Even now, without a Divine Artifact, he might not be able to kill a Red Luan.

"However, a Red Luan might not aid me much."

Lin Yue wondered aloud, "Even when a Red Luan reaches its limit, it only matches the Seventh Layer of Tianxia Building, which is similar to my level, right?"

"You are mistaken," the man in the blue robe shook his head, "The Red Luan specializes in escape, even if you use that costly true skill, it may not be as effective as its escape methods. Furthermore... in Jingzhou, you cannot utilize the Heaven and Earth Law, and even at your full strength, you are only at the Sixth Layer of Tianxia Building."

"Isn't it the same for the Red Luan?" Lin Yue wondered.

The man in the blue robe chuckled, saying, "It seems you do not know, the bodies of Exotic Beast Kings naturally embody the Heaven and Earth Law, unaffected and unrestrained by the Divine Array. Whatever power they originally possess, they can fully utilize!"

Lin Yue was taken aback.

Whether or not one could use the Heaven and Earth Law made a vast difference!

In Jingzhou, which was the core of the National Guardian Array, with the Eye of Heaven suppressing it, one could not use the Heaven and Earth Law without an Imperial Decree explicitly authorizing a Great Cultivator.

Hence, many Great Cultivators in Jingzhou might be no stronger than a cultivator of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier.

Even outside Jingzhou, using the Heaven and Earth Law privately would incur sin, and frequent use could draw punishment from the Heavenly Punishment Department, or even the advent of Heavenly Punishment itself.
