You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 290 - 56, The Former Life of Xia Lie! _2

The person gave him a name, calling him 'Xiahou Shou.'

Just two months later, after he had only just learned to write the name the person gave him, he had broken through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier.

"Hahaha, Xiahou Shou, my child, you truly are a genius!"

The person laughed heartily, hugged him excitedly, and said, "Even looking across the history of the Human Clan, probably only the Human Ancestor, who created the Martial Arts path, has a talent higher than yours. As long as you continue to cultivate, you have the hope to overthrow Great Yu in the future!"

He opened his mouth, feeling a bit warm, and mumbled, "Father, Father..."

The person was stunned, holding him tightly, "Alright, alright, good son, good son, Father will surely train you to become the strongest Martial Arts master in the world."

From then on, he had a father.

He began to learn Martial Arts more diligently, and the person also sent him a vast array of Martial Arts texts.

His progress was terrifyingly fast, which made his father even happier.

Compared to his progress in Martial Arts, he liked his father's praise and embrace more, which motivated him to work even harder.

Seven years flew by, and that person took him to the Imperial City of Great Yu, 'Chonghua City,' where he registered for the Inner Hall examination at the Ancestor Hall.

During the Inner Hall examination, wanting to make his father happy, he exerted all his strength to display his astonishing Martial Arts talent.

Everyone was shocked.

"Barbarian God Body? No wonder his physique's strength is so much stronger than others at the same level!"

"How is this possible? Ultimate Martial Arts True Skill? And he's already created it to a fairly deep level?"

"This can't be! Such a terrifying physical body... Had he never exerted his full strength before?"

"His Martial Arts True Skill hasn't even been perfected, and he doesn't understand the Mind Forbidden Technique. Even with a Barbarian God Body, he shouldn't be able to pass the seventh round of the Life and Death Battle!"

"He really passed the seventh round of the Life and Death Battle... Has there been such a genius in history?"

"Did he create this Body Refining Cultivation Method himself? Even though it's just at the Four Symbols Stage, a Four Symbols Peak Martial Cultivator can rival a Martial Arts Grandmaster perfectly with just the physical body. This Body Refining Cultivation Method is truly terrifying..."

"Stronger than the most top-tier Body Refining Methods of our Human Clan?"

"It might even rival the Demon Clan's supreme secret techniques like the Fire Phoenix Divine Body, the True Dragon Divine Body, and the Golden Winged Dapeng Divine Body."

His astonishing performance in the Life and Death Battle of the Inner Hall examination shook almost the entire Human Clan, even alerting the Main Hall Master, who voluntarily took him as a direct disciple.

At this moment, the memories suddenly became indescribably blurred and intermittent, leaving only short fragments.

"Xiahou Shou, you might be the hope of our Human Clan, so you must cultivate diligently."

"Lord Xiahou, His Majesty intends for the Ninth Princess to marry you. Would you be willing to form an alliance with our Great Yu Imperial Family through marriage?"

"Brother Xiahou, your father..."

"Outrageous! Xiahou Shou, how dare you!"

"He found out, kill him!"

"No! I didn't do it! I didn't want to kill you, please spare me!"

"Xiahou Shou, what are you doing!"

"Traitor! Damn traitor!!!"

"On Emperor Yu's orders, spread the decree to the world, our Human Clan must eradicate the traitor Xiahou Shou!"

"Sigh..."

"Brother, return..."

"Hahaha... hahahahaha!! Emperor Yu, Master, and the Three Religion Founders... If you cannot kill me today, I, Xiahou Shou, will surely bring ruin to the Human Clan in this life, casting them into Eternal Night for eternity!"

...

"Ah!"

Lin Yue suddenly woke up with a start, opening his eyes and sitting up, only to realize he was still in the cultivation chamber, and couldn't help but take a slow deep breath.

That piercing, sorrowful laughter filled with endless hatred seemed to still echo in his ears.

It made his expression complicated, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"So, Xia Lie's past life was you..."

Lin Yue mumbled.

Although Xia Lie's past life memory had stopped after formally apprenticing under the Main Hall Master, there were still hazy flashbacks of memories constantly emerging.

It was clear the memories were extremely profound, which was why it was like this.

Even though he didn't know what happened later, it was certain that Xia Lie's past life indeed betrayed the Human Clan.

Even... intended to destroy the Human Clan?

He had heard before that in the history of the Ancestor Hall, only one person under thirty had ever passed the seventh round of the Life and Death Battle, someone who had independently created a Body Refining Method comparable to the Demon Clan's supreme secret techniques, a person who lived a thousand and six hundred years ago and had defected from the Human Clan.

So... Xia Lie's past life was that traitor?

Lin Yue thought carefully and found that it indeed matched.

It was said that the traitor from a thousand and six hundred years ago, after defecting from the Human Clan, pledged allegiance to the Demon Clan.

And the Divine Emperor went to Eternal Night in the winter of the forty-sixth year of the Emperor's Inspection, perhaps to find Xia Lie's past life, 'Xiahou Shou.'

Such a horrifying genius as Xiahou Shou, even more astounding than today's first Martial Arts prodigy, Commandery Prince An Qing, was hailed as the first Martial Arts genius in Human Clan history, second only to the Human Ancestor. His talent was evident.

Someone with such great hatred for the Human Clan, going into deep cultivation in the Demon Clan for over a thousand years, had a power that was unimaginable.

However, the Divine Emperor, instead of destroying a Human Clan traitor directly, chose to have him reincarnated as his own son?

Wasn't the Divine Emperor afraid that after Xia Lie's reincarnation, should his past life memories awaken, he would harbor thoughts of destroying the Human Clan again?

After all, he was just receiving the past life memories of Xia Lie. Although experienced from a first-person perspective, he was ultimately not him, more like a bystander.

True past life memory awakening, akin to a fusion of personalities, would indeed change a person's character.

"But..."

Lin Yue reminisced about Xia Lie's past life memories and slightly narrowed his eyes, "I don't have to worry about how to create a Body Refining Cultivation Method comparable to the Demon Clan's supreme secret techniques now."

In Xia Lie's past life memories, there was the process of creating a Body Refining Cultivation Method from scratch.

This Body Refining Cultivation Method, comparable to the Demon Clan's supreme secret techniques, was called "Three Thousand Hell Body," and although it was only created up to the Four Symbols Stage, it was already stunningly terrifying.

It's not necessarily only strong people who can create powerful methods; sometimes a weakling genius can have a sudden burst of inspiration and create a remarkably exquisite method.

However, Xia Lie did not pass it to the Human Clan, instead, it was acquired by him.

"Though I don't have a Barbarian God Body, according to Xia Lie's memories, as long as it's an Earth Element physique and strong enough, one can cultivate the 'Three Thousand Hell Body.'"

Lin Yue contemplated, "This Body Refining Method is best suited for a physique that is a Barbarian God Body, but those with an Earth Attribute physique can still achieve fifty percent of its effect, making it considerably stronger than the top-tier Body Refining Methods of the Human Clan. I can also try to improve it, and I can ask my Master to help take a look. Additionally, if I can obtain the Earth Emperor Essence in the future, it can be perfected."

Although he didn't have a Barbarian God Body, he followed the Ancient God's Way and possessed the Prince Bloodline, refining his body with Earth Essence, making his physique inherently much stronger than others at the same level, so naturally, he could cultivate the "Three Thousand Hell Body."

As for the Earth Emperor Essence, that was out of his control.

It's said this is left by the Earth Emperor among the Ancient Gods, and it's rumored that it can only be born during an earthquake.

At any rate, neither the Imperial Family, the Ancestor Hall, nor the Dawn Platform's treasure troves contain this Heaven and Earth Treasure.

Even if it appeared before, it would quickly be snatched away.

"I can also have someone help me gather the Earth Emperor Essence, I must at least try."

Lin Yue mused to himself, then walked out of the chamber.

As long as all the necessary rare materials were gathered, he could start cultivating the "Three Thousand Hell Body."

The cultivation of this Three Thousand Hell Body mainly focused on comprehension and physique, then enough treasures would be needed.

As for how long it would take to successfully cultivate, that depended on the individual.

...

The rare materials needed for this Body Refining Method weren't exactly uncommon, except they needed to be in large quantities. There were some treasures that Lin Yue didn't need, so he gathered everything that same day, and the quality was even better.

After all, Lin Yue wanted to succeed in his cultivation faster.

The deadline for Duke Heng was almost up, and if luck was unfavorable, perhaps only half a year remained.

Only the Dao Heart Treasure could extend that deadline.

And in one of the Secret Cave Heaven of the Thirty-Six Cave Heaven Secrets left by the lawless Tianwu, the Dao Heart Treasure, 'Three-inch Spirit Heart,' was hidden.

But if he didn't have enough strength, even if he unlocked the secret, he was not confident in obtaining the treasures within.

"Fortunately, I have the Nine Death Selfless Divine Ability, with its astonishing recovery power perfectly suited for this Body Refining Method. The Divine Emperor probably prepared this Innate Divine Power especially for Xia Lie..."

Lin Yue took a deep breath and began cultivating the "Three Thousand Hell Body."

"The sooner I achieve it, the sooner I'll have enough strength to unlock that secret."
