Even if he encountered a God Realm expert, the Ruyi Divine Robe's disguise could not be seen through unless the other party examined him carefully with divine sense!
That was what made the Ruyi Divine Robe truly formidable!
After reading the descriptions, Lin Heng was secretly delighted!
His decision to come to the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute had undoubtedly been a wise one!
The students of the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute all lived around a small lake.
The lake was shaped like a crescent moon, hence its name, Crescent Lake!
Around Crescent Lake stood rows of houses and individual small courtyards.
Only students whose cultivation had surpassed the Martial Ancestor Realm were qualified to live in a small courtyard. No exceptions were made, not even for members of the imperial clan!
Dongfang Xi made no exception for Lin Heng, either!
Lin Heng was assigned a room in one of the rows of houses!
The house was built of stone and contained only a small sitting room and a quiet room.
The quiet room had a bed for sleeping and sitting in meditation to cultivate!
There was also a secret underground chamber where he could store things or do things he liked, such as refining pills and making talismans.
"Little Prince, this house is rather humble. You'll have to put up with it for a while. With your talent, it won't be long before you can move into a small courtyard!"
Dongfang Xi added, "By the way, this house isn't ordinary, either. Imperial Uncle Dongfang Lin lived here for a while when he was young, and until recently, Sister Yao lived here too!"
"Oh?"
When Lin Heng had met Dongfang Yao at the No. 1 dining hall, he had already learned that she had only advanced to the Martial King Realm a month ago.
In other words, Dongfang Yao had only recently moved out!
It was only natural for Dongfang Yao to choose to live where her father had once lived, and just as natural for Dongfang Xi to arrange for Lin Heng to stay here. After all, even setting aside his special relationship with Dongfang Yao, the house was at least vacant.
After hearing what Dongfang Xi said, Lin Heng immediately signed in here!
"Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at Stone House No. 6 in the ordinary residential area of the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute. The system rewards you with the god-level cultivation technique, the Yin-Yang Harmonious Peace Scripture!"
"Would the host like to activate the cultivation technique inheritance of the Yin-Yang Harmonious Peace Scripture immediately?"
Just as I thought! Lin Heng exclaimed inwardly.
The system's reward for signing in at a place where a God Realm expert had lived was indeed extraordinary!
As usual, Lin Heng quickly skimmed through the system's introduction to the Yin-Yang Harmonious Peace Scripture.
After reading it, his expression turned strange!
There was a problem with this divine technique!
Cultivating it required many women!
The more women, the better, and the greater their talent, the better!
In an instant, Lin Heng understood why Dongfang Lin had married so many wives and concubines!
Why Dongfang Lin had still managed to enter the God Realm, and become one of its foremost experts, despite spending so much time and effort on women!
Why Dongfang Lin still looked like a handsome, distinguished middle-aged man despite his advanced age!
Although Dongfang Lin was a romantic, he was not the sort to seduce women and then abandon them. He had not only given those women proper status but also provided them with very comfortable lives!
Over the previous three years, Lin Heng had learned about Dongfang Lin's life.
None of the information mentioned the Yin-Yang Harmonious Peace Scripture. Lin Heng reckoned that the divine technique was probably one of Dongfang Lin's secrets!
"Little Prince, according to the Divine Martial Institute's rules, no student may bring attendants to live within the institute. Now that you've enrolled, Brother Hong will have to leave."
Dongfang Xi offered the reminder.
"That's all right. Hong San can stay on Martial Institute Street!"
Lin Heng said.
"Isn't Brother Hong returning to the Chishui Kingdom?"
Dongfang Xi was somewhat surprised.
He had assumed Hong San was only escorting Lin Heng to the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute and would return to the Chishui Kingdom afterward.
"I will always follow the Little Prince!"
Hong San replied.
"In that case, Brother Hong, would you be willing to become an instructor at the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute?"
Dongfang Xi's eyes lit up as he eagerly sought to recruit him. "That way, you could live in the institute and stay with the Little Prince, and you'd receive excellent benefits too!"
Hong San did not dare make the decision himself, so he looked at Lin Heng.
Lin Heng thought it was feasible and nodded. This would give Hong San a fairly good place to settle down, too!
Dongfang Xi was overjoyed!
Even for the Great Xia Empire, gaining another Quasi-God expert was a cause for celebration!
So Dongfang Xi set about handling the various formalities for Hong San.
After leaving the stone house and walking some distance, Lin Heng pointed to a tall tower deep within the Divine Martial Institute and asked, "Deputy Dean Dongfang, is that the Demon-Suppressing Tower?"
"That's right, it's the Demon-Suppressing Tower!"
Dongfang Lin spoke as he walked. "The Devil-Sealing Well seals away many Devil Race experts, while the Demon-Suppressing Tower suppresses many Demon Race experts. But whether they're the devils in the Devil-Sealing Well or the demons in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, nearly all of them have died!"
"Nearly all of them? Does that mean some are still alive?"
Lin Heng asked curiously.
"Mm, yes!"
Dongfang Lin replied, "For example, Tuoba Ke in the Devil-Sealing Well in Chishui Royal City should still be alive. He's not only the younger brother of the Devil Master Tuoba Kui, but also a genuine God Realm expert. He can hold out for a long time!"
Lin Heng asked no more.
He looked at the Demon-Suppressing Tower, thinking that he had to find an opportunity to sign in there.
The Demon-Suppressing Tower was part of a forbidden area, and people were not allowed to approach it at will!
News that Lin Heng, the Little Prince of Chishui, had enrolled in the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute spread rapidly not only throughout the institute but also across the entire Divine Firmament Human Race!
Thanks to communication talismans, information traveled very quickly among the Divine Firmament Human Race.
Upon receiving the news, Lin Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been very worried that something might happen to his youngest son!
Shi Bingtai, the ruler of Lingxi, felt the exact opposite of Lin Changqing!
At that moment, quite a few important figures of the Lingxi Royal Clan had gathered in the Weide Hall of the Lingxi royal palace!
Every one of them wore a grave expression, their eyes full of worry!
"Lin Heng made it into the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute safely, but neither Shi Dexiang nor Xu Bai has returned. I'm afraid our two Quasi-God experts are in grave danger!"
Shi Bingtai sighed. He looked even older and more haggard than before!
"How is that possible?"
The First Prince, Shi Chengxiong, was utterly baffled. "Even if all three of the Chishui Kingdom's Quasi-Gods were protecting him in secret, they couldn't possibly have stopped both of our Quasi-Gods from escaping!"
"Could the Great Xia Imperial Clan have sent a God Realm expert?"
"We can't rule that out!"
"Probably not. If that were the case, the Great Xia Imperial Clan would surely have come to demand an explanation from us!"
"Mm! They ambushed the Great Xia Imperial Clan's future son-in-law, and the people responsible were captured alive or killed. That would be conclusive evidence of our guilt. The Great Xia Imperial Clan would at least have demanded an explanation from us!"
"Other God Realm experts probably wouldn't have gotten involved, so why haven't our two Quasi-Gods returned?"
The important figures of the Lingxi Royal Clan began discussing the matter, every one of them worried and puzzled.
"Could it be that our two Quasi-Gods never encountered that little bastard at all? Maybe they still don't know he's reached the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute and are waiting near Chishui Royal City?"
One person asked.
"That can't be!"
Shi Bingtai shook his head. "I sent Shi Dexiang a message by mystic talisman. If he were all right, he would certainly have received it. Even if he didn't want to return for the moment, he would have sent a reply!"
Clearly!
Shi Dexiang and Xu Bai were most likely already dead!
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
One person asked, brow tightly furrowed with worry. "If we really have lost two Quasi-Gods at once, as well as a divine artifact, it'll be difficult for us to maintain our foothold in the Lingxi Kingdom!"
