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

Chapter 280: 53, Innate Treasure



"Enough, it's still a good thing anyway."

Human Ancestor slightly shook his head and said, "Originally, I only had memories from the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier period, and I rarely encountered Demon Kings. The training effect of Myriad Beasts Valley was getting worse for you, but now that I have memories from the Three Talents Heaven Barrier period, many Demon Kings from the Eternal Night Land can appear in this Illusion Realm and provide you with sufficient training."

Lin Yue suddenly realized, "No wonder there are so few Demon Kings in Myriad Beasts Valley."

Demon Kings, equivalent to Great Cultivators of the Human Clan, are also beings who have broken through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier.

"In the Illusion Realm, I can only generate beings that I know of."

Human Ancestor chuckled, "I was the first one in the Human Clan to embark on the Martial Arts path, the first to break the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier, the first to break the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier. By the time I could break the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, I immediately did, who knew that it would have been better to accumulate more at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier?"

Lin Yue nodded slightly.

Indeed, all these were experiences accumulated by predecessors, if it weren't for the request of the Main Hall Master, he would probably have aimed to break through the barriers sooner.

"Thus, when I was at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, I was only roughly comparable to the most ordinary Great Cultivator, it was considered good if I could escape from a Demon King," Human Ancestor shook his head. "It was only at the Three Talents Heaven Barrier that I started to understand more Demon Kings."

"By the way."

Lin Yue suddenly asked, "Human Ancestor, do you know someone named Xiahong Feng?"

"Who?" Human Ancestor asked curiously, "Who is that?"

"A Martial Arts prodigy that is out of this world," Lin Yue replied. "I suspect he might have slain a Demon Saint by his twenties."

"In his twenties, killed a Demon Saint?"

Human Ancestor was astonished and said, "That's hardly possible, right? Even if you let me reincarnate, I doubt I could achieve that extent. Every stage from nothing to something requires foundation and accumulation, it also takes some time."

"I also find it unbelievable," Lin Yue nodded in agreement.

Human Ancestor slightly shook his head and said, "I only understand Martial Arts. Haven't you younger generations come up with various cultivation systems? Perhaps there's some special method?"

"Could it be rebirth through possessing another's body?"

Lin Yue furrowed his brows, "But if it was a possession, it would take a long time to recover one's strength, and I have not heard of any great martial power falling in the past decades..."

A Martial Saint who could slay a Demon Saint and is recognized throughout Great Yong is rare, and none of them has fallen in the past decades. Moreover, after a possession, recovering much strength is unlikely, retaining even a fraction of their power is impressive.

A fraction of strength could kill a Demon Saint?

That must be someone like the Ancient Hall Master, the Imperial Master.

"Forget it."

Lin Yue refocused and said to Human Ancestor, "Junior has something to ask for your help with."

"Let's hear it," Human Ancestor spoke.

"It's to help identify some mutant beast materials, which mutant beasts they come from," Lin Yue said. "Since the Illusion Realm can reproduce them, when the time comes I'll describe those mutant beast materials to you, you help me recognize them."

...

Next day.

Dawn Platform.

"Imperial Master."

Lin Yue looked at the Imperial Master opposite him, still dressed in a plain elegant official robe, wearing a golden mask, and said, "I've made my decision on the punishment, please initiate the trial."

"Oh?" The Imperial Master lifted an eyebrow slightly, gave Lin Yue a look, and said, "The trial period is within seven days, it's only been a day, and Seventeenth Prince has already made a decision?"

"No need to waste time," Lin Yue shook his head.

The Imperial Master gave him another look and then said, "Alright, since Seventeenth Prince has requested, I naturally have no objections."

Half an hour later.

This case involved only the internal affairs of Dawn Platform, hence there was no need to engage the three departments, thus only a few officials from Imperial Examination Hall and the Ministry of Justice came to participate, and the trial location remained in the Bright Mirror Hall of Dawn Platform.

"This case, I presume everyone is clear," the Imperial Master sat high up in the Bright Mirror Hall, scanning the crowd, then looked indifferently at the three people kneeling below and said, "Although there is the doubtful point of a Grade Seven Immortal Pill, due to insufficient evidence, it is difficult to gauge the value of some mutant beast materials, thus it is challenging to measure the severity of these three selling mutant beast materials."

Beside the high platform, Lin Yue, dressed in the usual attire of a Prince, was seated.

On both sides below the high platform were several officials from the Ministry of Justice and Imperial Examination Hall, all of them high-level officials at the Great Cultivator level.

The atmosphere inside the Bright Mirror Hall was solemn.

And among the three people kneeling below, the elder of the Great Cultivator level remained composed, and the man and woman beside him also stayed quite calm.

Most of the spectators were members of Dawn Platform with some status, and naturally knew that each of these three individuals had tremendous backgrounds; even if the Imperial Master suspected them, without concrete evidence, a heavy sentence was unlikely.

"The verdict for this case should have been given by me, the Military Leader," the Imperial Master spoke softly. "However, today Seventeenth Prince holds the position of Inspector sanctioned by the Crown Prince himself through an Imperial Decree, and this case has been decided by Seventeenth Prince in terms of my judgment."

She looked towards Lin Yue and said, "Please, Seventeenth Prince."

Lin Yue nodded slightly, scanned the three kneeling below, and began, "This case is managed by this Palace Master, and thus has been thoroughly investigated."

He paused a moment, then continued, "Upon verification by this Palace, Dawn Military's Centurion 'Weichi Wen', Squad Leader 'Chu Fenglin', and Squad Leader 'Qin Yao' have all personally sold mutant beast materials whose value is comparable to a Grade Seven Immortal Pill!"

The expressions of the three below suddenly changed.

And even some officials from the Ministry of Justice and Imperial Examination Hall at either side of the high platform frowned.

However, it was now the time for the Inspector to announce the judgment, and not even the Imperial Master would interrupt, let alone them. Even if they had objections, they could only slowly appeal later.
