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

"This is the personal token of the Human Ancestor from Ancient Times."

The red-robed, bald woman spoke in a low voice, "Within it contains a strand of the undying Divine Thought that originated from the Human Ancestor himself. Surely the Ancestor Hall wouldn't fail to recognize it, right?"

All the Hall Masters fell silent.

Lin Yue's expression remained calm as he spoke, "Since you carry the Human Ancestor's token, why did you not present it earlier? And where did this token come from?"

"Just as Your Highness is questioning now, would you have believed if I had presented the token earlier?" the red-robed, bald woman retorted.

"Belief or disbelief is a matter for my Ancestor Hall."

Lin Yue looked at her and said, "First, you must answer my questions."

The red-robed, bald woman took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, and slowly said, "This is the personal token of the Human Ancestor, naturally it was handed down to our sect by the venerable Human Ancestor himself."

"The Human Ancestor?"

"Did you just say the Human Ancestor?"

After a brief silence, the surroundings immediately erupted into an uproar.

It was especially shocking for the people of the Ancestor Hall.

Since the Ancient Race went through a catastrophic calamity, the Human Ancestor, the Human Emperor, had disappeared.

Logically, Proving Ones who had achieved eternal existence should at least ensure that their Primordial Spirit remains unbroken, their Divine Soul undying regardless of the calamities they face.

For many years, the Human Ancestor truly had not appeared, almost no different from being dead.

"The Human Ancestor?"

Lin Yue's eyes showed a trace of strangeness as he asked, "You say it was handed down to your sect by the Human Ancestor? When was this?"

The red-robed, bald woman said, "Just one year ago."

"One year ago?"

Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows, immediately deeming it false.

Originally, he thought it might be a matter of differing times.

After all, it had only been a few decades since his mother obtained the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin in the Beiyuan Mountain, and it was unclear from where she had found the Human Ancestor's Divine Soul. Perhaps a few decades ago, the Human Ancestor's Divine Soul could still have been in some place.

But one year ago was too implausible.

The Main Soul of the Human Ancestor had been inside the black jade coffin for these several decades, the other fragmentary souls had no consciousness, simply soul bodies. How could they possibly pass on the personal token?

Not to mention...

The purpose of this group's visit to Great Yong was to find the 'corpse' of the Human Ancestor.

Lin Yue had always found it strange—the secret obtained yesterday specifically mentioned the 'corpse' of the Human Ancestor.

It's the body of the deceased that is called a corpse.

Even sixteen hundred years ago, the Imperial Family of Great Yu referred to the body of the Human Ancestor, not a corpse, and at that time, the Human Ancestor's body was indeed alive, even the Primordial Demon Ancestor said the Human Ancestor's Divine Soul was just in slumber.

If the Human Ancestor was not dead at that time, then when did the Human Ancestor die?

And how did the Human Ancestor die?

Lin Yue temporarily suppressed these thoughts and spoke, "You say it was given to you by the Human Ancestor, where is the evidence?"

"There is plenty of evidence."

The red-robed, bald woman said solemnly, "Our sect is known as the Martial Ancestor Sect, and our Martial Arts all come from the venerable Human Ancestor himself, such as the Martial Arts Divine Skill, like Heaven Opens Earth Falls, Fire Martial... all of which we understand."

She immediately turned to look at a few people and said, "Ask a few junior brothers to demonstrate."

Right then, Xia Wuhua led Yan Fang and several others to demonstrate various Martial Arts.

Upon this demonstration, the Hall Masters of the Ancestor Hall, after close scrutiny, could not help but be somewhat shocked.

"This... could it really be?"

"Martial Arts Divine Skill is a core secret technique."

"Firewood Transmission, this move had been lost, yet its essence and effects are exactly as recorded."

"Heavenly Vault Power, it is also the true transmission..."

Lin Yue also watched carefully and found that these people were indeed performing the Human Ancestor's Martial Arts, which he had learned himself, and was thus even more certain.

However...

He had learned, from the Human Ancestor, memories whose origins not even the Human Ancestor was clear about. After improvements, they had obviously become more perfect.

Yet, what these people were practicing was clearly the old version.

However, compared to the new version he had learned, the Ancestor Hall would definitely trust the old version transmitted by the Human Ancestor more.

"Stop, all of you."

Lin Yue spoke, "I believe it now, what you all have learned is indeed the Martial Arts of the Human Ancestor."

The red-robed, bald woman nodded slightly and said, "It's good that Your Highness believes us, we and the Ancestor Hall are the very same descendants of His Excellency the Human Ancestor…"

"Hold on."

Lin Yue interrupted her, speaking indifferently, "Your words are premature, I merely believe that what you've learned is the Martial Arts of the Human Ancestor, but it doesn't mean that I believe you are the true inheritors of the Human Ancestor."

The red-robed, bald woman frowned slightly and asked, "Then what does Your Highness mean?"

"What you have learned is indeed the Martial Arts of the Human Ancestor, which is good."

Lin Yue's gaze swept over the group of outsiders as he spoke in a measured tone, "But I do not know if you are aware, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, the progenitor of the Demon Clan, also understands the Martial Arts of the Human Ancestor. Who's to say whether it was the Heavenly Demon Ancestor who taught you?"

The red-robed, bald woman and the many foreign Martial Cultivator prodigies were all taken aback.

The crowd watching nearby also broke into an uproar.

"The progenitor of the Demon Clan, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor?"

"How would the Heavenly Demon Ancestor know the Martial Arts of the Human Ancestor?"

"How could this be…"

Many were clearly hearing of this for the first time and were obviously surprised. However, seeing that the various Hall Masters had no reaction, they immediately understood that what His Highness said was true.

The origins of the Demon Clan also count as a big secret.

Among the Human Ancestor's two direct disciples, 'Heaven' and 'Qi,' the fact that Heaven became the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was not widely known.

The world only knew that the Demon Clan had stolen their Martial Arts from the Human Clan, without realizing that the origin lay in—

The very first progenitor of the Demon Clan was a direct disciple of the Human Ancestor.

"No need to fret over this."

The voice of the Ancient Hall Master rose deeply, "The Heavenly Demon Ancestor indeed knew the Martial Arts of the Human Ancestor. As for the reasons, you need not be concerned. My fellow brother is correct, merely exhibiting the Martial Arts of the Human Ancestor does not prove you are his inheritors."

Once the Ancient Hall Master had spoken thus, naturally, no one said anything further.

The red-robed, bald woman and the people from the foreign side, however, were stunned for a good while before they regained their composure.

Furrowing her brows, she said, "We have the Token of the Human Ancestor and understand the Martial Arts of the Human Ancestor, yet this does not prove that we are the inheritors of the Human Ancestor?"

Lin Yue said dispassionately, "Up till now, I have not heard you mention your own origins. How can people be convinced by those whose backgrounds are not even clear? Who knows if you are spies cultivated by the Demon Clan?"

He added, "If it is inconvenient to speak publicly, you can follow me and the various Hall Masters to the front hall to discuss this privately."

The red-robed, bald woman fell silent for a long while before slowly saying, "Well, there is nothing that cannot be disclosed regarding this matter. Since Your Highness does not believe us, let us explain now."

She took a deep breath and said, "I believe you have all guessed by now... yes, we indeed come from Eternal Night."

Upon these words, there was an uproar.

Lin Yue slightly furrowed his brows and with a sweeping gaze said softly, "Quiet."

Once the noise had subsided, he looked at the red-robed, bald woman and said, "Continue your explanation."

That red-robed, bald woman said, "After arriving in Great Yong, we discovered that the people of the Human Clan in Great Yong all believe... that no humans existed in Eternal Night anymore, and even if there were humans, they were exiled strong people of the Human Clan. They either wouldn't live long, or they would side with the Demon Clan."

She spoke somberly, "But in fact... outside of Great Yong, in Eternal Night, there still exists a pure land for the Human Clan."

Although no one exclaimed aloud this time, their faces were no less shocked.

Lin Yue had already guessed as much based on last night's secrets, so his expression remained unchanged, only looking at the red-robed, bald woman, waiting for her to continue.

"That pure land of the Human Clan is what we call 'Liangwang City.'"

The red-robed, bald woman's gaze swept over the multitude of cultivators in Great Yong and went on slowly, "Meaning the city forgotten by the Human Clan in both existence and origin."

"Perhaps there are only traces left in the historical records. Before Great Yong unified the world, Liangwang City wasn't called this. It was... Yuanwang City, the furthest boundary between Great Yu and the Demon Clan at the time."

Her voice became low as she spoke, "Now, the Human Clan in Great Yong lives in the light, but we, the ancestors of Liangwang City, have been forgotten by the Human Clan in Eternal Night, standing guard to this day..."
