When an object neither reflects light nor allows it to pass through, it naturally becomes invisible to the naked eye.
That's how Lin Yue appeared at this moment.
The Sun-Chasing Path aspired to penetrate all obstacles, to the extent of subtly passing through space itself. Naturally, it could also penetrate light, thus achieving invisibility.
Although Divine Thought could detect him, how could the higher-ups of the Primordial Mountain, mere cultivators of the Four Symbols Heavenly Barrier, discover him?
As for the Array Barrier of Guiyuan Cave, they were merely the efforts put forth by Great Cultivators. With his abilities, he naturally came and went as he pleased.
Lin Yue was seated on a giant rock hundreds of feet away from Guiyuan Cave, looking towards it from a distance.
the massive and solid gate of Guiyuan Cave slowly opened, revealing young True Disciples of Primordial Mountain emerging one after another.
In no time, exclamations erupted one after another.
Those waiting outside the Guiyuan Cave focused their astonished gazes on the young woman among them.
"All five evaluations are of the highest Heavenly caliber?"
"How is this possible…"
"In the eight-hundred-year history of Primordial Mountain, there have only been two geniuses who achieved a single Heavenly-grade basic evaluation…"
"Incredible, is this real?"
"Such a performance is surely comparable to those most astonishing prodigies in legend from Jingzhou Imperial City, right?"
"Report to the Primordial Sect at once!"
Listening to the exclamations coming from Guiyuan Cave, Lin Yue couldn't help but smile.
The trial of Guiyuan Cave was indeed challenging to achieve what they called the highest Heavenly caliber.
Even with the opportunity he gave Hong Xi, merely cultivating for half a year, she couldn't possibly achieve evaluations of the highest Heavenly caliber in all five aspects. At most, she might achieve the basic Heavenly caliber in one or two categories.
Such a talent, in an ordinary sect like Primordial Mountain, which peaked at the Four Symbols Peak, was indeed considered a once-in-a-century phenomenon.
But in the many Holy Lands, looking at the whole of Jingzhou Imperial City, it was quite ordinary.
His goal was to create a stir with Hong Xi, not necessarily to alarm the whole world but at least to get the major forces of Jingzhou to take notice, right?
So he just went in and helped her cheat.
The means of Guiyuan Cave's trial could naturally not stop him.
He only had to subtly assist from the shadows, and Hong Xi would achieve perfect first place in all aspects of the evaluation, and even she herself didn't realize it.
"With such talent, plus the Ancient God's Way, it's enough to draw attention from all sides in Jingzhou."
Lin Yue pondered to himself, "Those forces investigating the remnants of the Ninth Prince will likely send someone, exposing my whereabouts to Eternal Night Mountain naturally... then, I can resolve everything at once."
Inside the courtyard where the True Disciples resided.
Lin Yue knew that the higher-ups of Primordial Mountain were observing him from the shadows now and then; he simply squatted in the courtyard and pretended to be like a child playing with stone throwing. After all, he just needed to split off a thread of Divine Thought within the Black Jade Coffin Illusion Realm to maintain his cultivation.
It wasn't until dusk that Hong Xi returned, somewhat lost and distracted.
"What's wrong with you, master?" Lin Yue asked knowingly.
Hong Xi still hadn't snapped out of the day's significant changes, her voice sounding as if she was still half in a dream: "Your master seems to be an unparalleled genius…"
A few months ago, she was merely a True Disciple of Primordial Mountain, nothing particularly noteworthy.
Even so, because she had no one to back her, and she worried that the opportunity would be discovered, she intentionally displayed mediocrity and distanced herself from the others, leading to some rejection by her sectmates, who were quite cold to her.
However, she was used to being alone since childhood, had bad luck, and never had anyone close to her. The word "friend" had become something of a luxury, so she didn't mind it.
But after the Guiyuan Cave trial today, the Sect Leader, the Elders, her senior brothers, and sisters, each one of them had a drastic change in attitude, showing immense enthusiasm toward her.
All kinds of flattery, praise, and adulation... it was almost something she had never experienced before.
She was bewildered by all the praise.
"Dear disciple, since meeting you, my fortune seems to have improved quite a bit."
Hong Xi suddenly crouched in front of Lin Yue, happily lifting him and turning him around in a circle, "I suddenly realize there are still many good people in this world. Who would have thought that my fellow disciples were actually quite nice?"
"Master, you are overthinking." Lin Yue said in a babyish yet world-weary tone, "It's because you've become stronger, so naturally, the number of good people has increased."
Hong Xi blinked and couldn't resist pinching his little face, "Who would have thought that you, a little child, could speak such meaningful words?"
I'll endure, I am now seven years old… Lin Yue silently scoffed to himself.
"I heard that the higher-ups from Primordial Sect in Jingzhou will be coming soon."
Hong Xi said with a smile, "It won't be long before we can live in Jingzhou. They say that there is the real Blessed Land for cultivation, and Di Hong City is magical. You're so lucky."
She then cautioned, "By the way, if the big shots from the Holy Land of Primordial Sect ask, you mustn't reveal our experience in that ruined temple last year."
"Got it." Lin Yue nodded.
The next morning, people from Jingzhou's Primordial Sect Holy Land arrived.
The ones who came were two Great Cultivators from the Primordial Sect, who had both practiced the Body to Saint Cultivation Method, and their strength was quite remarkable.
In the entire Primordial Sect, only the founding patriarch, True Monarch of Primordial, was a Saint; the rest were just a few Great Cultivators. To send two people over showed considerable importance.
"Is this the genius who got five highest Heavenly evaluations in the Guiyuan Cave trial?"
Among the two Great Cultivators, the tall and thin man who was clearly the leader scrutinized Hong Xi and then slightly furrowed his brows, seeming to have discovered something.
