Xu Haoyu's little face darkened and brightened unpredictably. He had found this Storage Ring half a year ago—or rather, it had practically offered itself up for him to find. With people constantly coming and going on the street, the Storage Ring had just happened to fall right in front of him.

At first, he had thought it was some sort of lucky opportunity and had tried to open it, but nothing happened, so he gave up.

Knowing that the Storage Ring's origins were somewhat dubious, Xu Haoyu had not kept it on him, lest his Dou Qi be secretly drained away.

He had merely treated it as a collectible, sealed it away in an iron box, and locked it up until now.

He truly had not expected that this Storage Ring really contained a secret.

This old man had held back until Xu Haoyu broke through to become a 1-Star Dou Zhe before finally revealing himself. That sinister cackling laughter did not make him sound like a good person—after all, this was the Dou Qi Continent.

However, Xu Haoyu's heart stirred. This old man was the soul remnant of a Dou Zun and seemed to know something about his physique.

With that thought, he calmed down. Though he remained wary inside, he asked with apparent sincerity, "Senior Li, from what you've said, you were a Dou Zun powerhouse in life. You said that cultivating Dual Fire-Wood Attribute Dou Qi was wasting my talent. Does my physique possess some other secret?"

Li Xiantian looked at Xu Haoyu. The boy had calmed down so quickly and had even taken the initiative to inquire about his own physique. He truly was good material.

With such a calm and steady temperament, he was bound to achieve something in the future. He might even reach the Dou Zun realm, just like Li Xiantian himself.

Yet when Li Xiantian thought of the youth's physique, greed welled up in his heart. He cleared his throat, floated in midair with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "That is right. Your physique conceals a great secret. A physique with All Attributes is something scarcely seen once in ten thousand years on this continent. It has a true name: the Myriad Laws Body."

"It means that you can cultivate Dou Qi of every attribute. Think about it: others cultivate Dou Qi of a single attribute, while you cultivate Dou Qi of All Attributes. At the same realm, the sheer abundance of your Dou Qi will be several times, even more than ten times, that of others."

"A Yellow-Rank Dou Technique in your hands will rival a Mysterious-Rank Dou Technique. A Mysterious-Rank Dou Technique in your hands will rival an Earth-Rank Dou Technique. An Earth-Rank Dou Technique in your hands will rival a Heaven-Rank Dou Technique. Fighting above your level will be as easy as eating and drinking. Once you have mastered your cultivation, you will be able to roam freely across the entire continent. That is how you avoid wasting your talent."

As soon as he heard this, Xu Haoyu's heart burned with excitement. But he was not truly just nine years old, and he immediately calmed down and raised his doubts. "Senior, you must be joking. How could one person cultivate Dou Qi of all attributes? Leaving aside whether cultivation methods of different attributes can be cultivated simultaneously, even if they could, the various types of Dou Qi produced would probably make me explode and die."

A strange gleam appeared in Li Xiantian's eyes. This brat was even smarter than he had expected, completely unlike an ordinary nine-year-old boy. He would not be easy to fool, so Li Xiantian decided to reveal a little more. "Hehe, that is indeed true. Even with your special physique, you cannot casually cultivate cultivation methods of all attributes. But you are fortunate. When this old man roamed the continent in his prime, I obtained a cultivation method from an ancient cave dwelling—the Guiyi True Art."

"This cultivation method has no rank and no attribute. At first, I thought it was merely a trash cultivation method. But after carefully studying it, I discovered that this unusual cultivation method was prepared specifically for the Myriad Laws Body."

"The core principle of the Guiyi True Art is that all laws return to one. It allows you to cultivate cultivation methods of various attributes at the same time. Simply put, it can fuse cultivation methods. The more cultivation methods it fuses, the higher its own rank becomes. It takes the essence and discards the dregs, gathering the strengths of a hundred schools. This old man guarantees that in only a hundred years, you will be able to stand at the peak of the entire continent."

Hiss!

Xu Haoyu drew in a sharp breath. This time, he was truly tempted. A cultivation method capable of fusing cultivation methods was indeed tailor-made for him, allowing him to cultivate Dou Qi of all attributes.

Even though he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, Xu Haoyu still made a solemn request. "Senior, since you have told me all this, I believe you are willing to impart this cultivation method to me. May I know what you require? So long as it is within my power, I will certainly agree."

A look of reminiscence appeared on Li Xiantian's aged face. He slightly raised his head and said, "All this old man desires is to live another life. But death is death. I will first pass this cultivation method on to you. Once your cultivation has achieved success, I want you to help me with one matter."

After speaking, Li Xiantian drifted forward and pointed a finger at Xu Haoyu's forehead. "Guiyi True Art: no rank, no attribute, fusing the strengths of a hundred schools. Only the Myriad Laws Body may cultivate it."

After receiving all the information about the "Guiyi True Art," even with his immense Soul Strength, Xu Haoyu felt his head swell painfully. This cultivation method was extremely unusual. It involved a vast number of Meridians, yet it could not form a complete circulation cycle. In other words, no matter how one cultivated it, it would be difficult to achieve much improvement.

No wonder Li Xiantian had considered it a trash cultivation method. If not for its ability to fuse cultivation methods, it really would have been a trash cultivation method.

At this moment, perhaps because he had expended Soul Strength, Li Xiantian's soul form became increasingly illusory, and a trace of exhaustion appeared on his face.

Then Li Xiantian beckoned. The Storage Ring floated over, and with a flash of light, seven scrolls shot out. Wrapped in Soul Strength, they floated before Xu Haoyu.

Xu Haoyu shook his head and forced down the discomfort in his mind. Looking at the seven scrolls before him, he pondered briefly, then reached out and picked them up one after another. After giving them a quick look, he said in surprise, "Sharp Metal Art, Azure Wood Art, Mystic Water Art, Exploding Flame Art, Thick Earth Art, Swift Wind Art, Purple Lightning Art—they are all Mid-Level Mysterious Rank Cultivation Methods. Such a complete collection; Senior, your collection is truly rich."

Li Xiantian smiled smugly and bared his teeth. "What is this? They are merely some ordinary collectibles. Back then, this old man was known as the Heavenly Wrath Venerable. The cultivation method I practiced was the Wrath of Heavens Heart Sutra, a High-Level Earth Rank Cultivation Method. The Dou Technique I wielded was the Wrath of Heavens Eight Forms, a High-Level Earth Rank Dou Technique. Together, they were enough to rival Quasi-Heaven Rank cultivation methods and Dou Techniques."

"However, you cannot cultivate those yet. Even though your physique is special, your realm is too low. With your talent and aptitude, you should be able to break through to become a Dou Wang in four or five years. At that time, you will be able to learn some real skills from this old man."

Li Xiantian's words brimmed with temptation. High-Level Earth Rank cultivation methods and Dou Techniques would provoke countless people to fight over them anywhere on the continent.

Xu Haoyu's breathing quickened as well. Even in the Xu Family he came from, their clan's ultimate art was only an Earth Rank Middle Level Dou Technique. Yet that alone allowed the Xu Family to firmly control the Southern Three Provinces of the Tianxin Empire.

However, Xu Haoyu still retained a trace of rationality in his heart. This Li Xiantian appeared far too suddenly, and he is treating me far too well. If he honestly keeps dropping gold coins for me, I will definitely do everything in my power to help revive him in the future. But if he has some other agenda toward me, then I had better stay on guard...
