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

"Is it true?"

"Is it really the former dynasty's Great National Master's?"

"Could what she said be true?"

After hearing the Daoist Temple Master's response, everyone couldn't help but look at the red-robed bald woman.

Since it involved matters related to the Great National Master of the former dynasty, a Proving Great Power, even the Human Ancestor had never appeared; perhaps the affair regarding Liangwang City was true.

"Temple Master."

Lin Yue looked calmly at the Daoist Temple Master and said, "Is it true that only the Great National Master of the former dynasty possessed this Talisman and bamboo?"

He knew that the Great National Master of the former dynasty was the Second Primordial Spirit transformed by the Daoist Ancestor, so it was normal for the Daoist Temple Master to recognize it.

"Your Highness," the Daoist Temple Master said, "the Supreme Misty Qingming Talisman was refined by the Daoist Ancestor, who crafted three in total, with one already used up."

As he spoke, the Daoist Temple Master flipped his hand, revealing an identical Talisman, and said, "Of the remaining two Supreme Misty Qingming Talismans, one is here with this poor Daoist, while the other was given to the Great National Master of the former dynasty by the Daoist Ancestor, so the one in this benefactress's hand must certainly come from the Great National Master of the former dynasty."

He glanced at the withered yellow bamboo in his hand and said, "As for this bamboo segment, it is a part of the Great National Master's Lifebound Spiritual Object from the former dynasty, known as the Creation Sky-Connecting Bamboo. As a Lifebound Spiritual Object, unless the Great National Master willingly severed a piece, the bamboo would lose its spirituality if forcibly broken. Given that this bamboo retains its spirituality, it indicates a deliberate act by the Great National Master."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood.

Simultaneously, they began to believe what the red-robed bald woman had said.

The Daoist Temple Master, being a direct disciple of the Daoist Ancestor, was undoubtedly loyal to the Human Clan, making him the most credible person present.

"Temple Master."

The voice of the Ancient Hall Master suddenly echoed, "How do you know so much about the Great National Master of the former dynasty?"

The Daoist Temple Master pondered for a moment and said, "It's not really a big secret; it's just that the Daoist Ancestor never publicized it. However, all high-ranking officials of the Daoist Temple know about it... The Great National Master of the former dynasty was actually the Daoist Ancestor's Second Primordial Spirit."

The crowd was shocked but found it reasonable.

Legends had it that the Great National Master of the former dynasty commanded wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the celestial changes with a mere thought, altering the weather, which seemed like a perfected method of borrowing from the heavens utilized by the Daoist.

Thus, it turned out; the Great National Master of the former dynasty was indeed the Daoist Ancestor's Second Primordial Spirit!

The Second Primordial Spirit represented a more profound art of creating an avatar.

Typically, avatars share memories but possess independent conscious awareness, while the Second Primordial Spirit was different; the practitioner could choose to transfer certain memories to the Second Primordial Spirit during the division of their Primordial Spirit.

In this way, the Second Primordial Spirit could attempt to comprehend a new path.

Once the path was achieved, upon the return of the Second Primordial Spirit, the exchange of memories could allow the main body to grasp the new path.

Although the essence of the Primordial Spirit couldn't be changed, for a Saint, the new path might not be compatible with the Primordial Spirit nor alter the Inner Heaven and Earth, but at least there was a chance to merge a new path, leading to significant enhancements in power upon success.

Ordinary paths had the potential to merge into the Heavenly Reversal Path.

The Heavenly Reversal Path could potentially come closer to the Ultimate.

However, since the Second Primordial Spirit had independent consciousness, there was a risk of detachment from the main body, which was a considerable concern.

"So it was the Daoist Ancestor's Second Primordial Spirit, no wonder the Temple Master understands the Great National Master of the former dynasty so well."

"It's no wonder that during the founding of Great Yong, Your Majesty did not restrain the Great National Master of the former dynasty but merely allowed the Daoist Ancestor to bring the Daoist to Jingzhou."

"The Great National Master of the former dynasty was the Daoist Ancestor's Second Primordial Spirit, naturally trustworthy."

"In that case, what this woman says could very well be true?"

For a moment, everyone became more convinced of the red-robed bald woman's words.

After all...

It was the Daoist Ancestor.

Before the birth of the Divine Emperor, the Human Ancestor and the Human Emperor had vanished, and the Daoist Ancestor, Buddha Ancestor, and Confucian Ancestor of the Three Religions stood as guiding lights to the Human Clan, each having rescued the Human Clan from water and fire.

In some ways, it was the tremendous merit of the Human Ancestor, Human Emperor, and Divine Emperor that somewhat overshadowed the brilliance of the Three Religions Ancestors.

Yet, everyone knew the greatness of the Three Religions Ancestors.

Since this matter involved the Daoist Ancestor, and even the Daoist Temple Master affirmed it, the credibility was naturally very high.

"I've long heard of the Daoist's foremost Holy Land, the Daoist Temple."

The red-robed bald woman visibly relaxed, looked at the Daoist Temple Master, and softly said, "I didn't expect the Temple Master to be a disciple of Senior Xiao Yao. Please implore the Daoist Ancestor to save Senior Xiao Yao."

The Senior Xiao Yao she referred to was also the Great National Master of the former dynasty.

"With my Master's Divine Skills, I am sure he already knows."

The Daoist Temple Master said, "As for how to rescue, this matter still requires deliberation, for it is, after all, within the depths of the Eternal Night, the heartland of the Demon Clan..."

"Wait a moment."

He hadn't finished speaking when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.

Everyone turned to look, discovering it was the Seventeenth Prince.

The red-robed bald woman slightly furrowed her brows; this Seventeenth Prince, despite everything said, still didn't believe?

Lin Yue, with a faint smile, said, "Is it not too early for the Temple Master to reach a conclusion at this time?"

"What insight does Your Highness have?" The Daoist Temple Master looked kindly at Lin Yue.

Others were also somewhat puzzled.

The Great National Master of the former dynasty, being the Daoist Ancestor's Second Primordial Spirit, had voluntarily severed a segment of his Lifebound Spiritual Object, the Creation Sky-Connecting Bamboo, deliberately bringing it to Di Hong City, along with other evidence; wasn't this sufficient to establish it?

"It's not that I'm picking a fight," Lin Yue glanced at the red-robed bald woman and said, "but this matter has indeed not yet reached a point where it can be confirmed."

He swept his gaze across everyone and said, "The allegation that the Human Ancestor and the Great National Master of the former dynasty jointly protected Liangwang City is evidenced only by their knowledge of the Human Ancestor's Martial Arts; everything else is unverifiable talk; who can prove this?"
