Xu Yuan Opening

The space within the Taihuan Token, which was originally void, was no longer empty.

The Messenger, who resembled a suckling pig, had conjured various utensils for eating, drinking, and playing within the space, turning it into a veritable den of comfort.

However, the Messenger had shed its laziness for the moment, wearing a serious expression on its pig face.

"I told you before, the Tianhuang Ancient Continent is vastly different from this Source World of yours; the underlying laws and the architecture of the world are completely distinct.

The main framework of your world consists of the eight lower laws and two upper laws, whereas the Tianhuang Ancient Continent is different—its foundational structure is composed of various Daos."

"Daos?"

"Hehe, Daos like Taiyi, Taishi, Taisu, Taiji, Xuanhuang, Causality, Nirvana, End of Dharma, and Creation—does your world have these?"

Jiang Yao muttered to himself, Good grief, how does this sound like it belongs to an entirely different style?

The Messenger seemed to know what Jiang Yao was thinking and sighed, "You cannot even imagine the bizarre nature of cultivation in the Tianhuang Ancient Continent. Even beings like Divine Lord Taihuan could be schemed against if they weren't careful, leading to their downfall. Although your world's law architecture is slightly rigid, it is actually quite safe.

Coming back to the point, most of the techniques and divine abilities in the Divine Lord's inheritance are either incompatible with this universe or would be prohibited or destroyed by the supreme rules of this world.

If the Divine Lord were reincarnated here, since all Source Worlds eventually lead to the same destination at higher levels, he could naturally use his high-level perspective to quickly master the operating laws of this world; those wouldn't be problems. But your realm is even weaker than your power, so don't expect such good fortune."

The pig face revealed a smug, arrogant expression: "Of course, every system has loopholes, and this world is no exception. Naturally, this cannot stump me, the great Messenger.

Over these days, I have worked tirelessly to find a few techniques suitable for your cultivation, but you are truly too weak. The Tianhuang Ancient Continent is filled with Myriad Races, and at your level, you are not even worth as much as an ant. Most techniques require you to reach at least the Stellar Level to practice, so your task is to quickly advance to the Stellar Level."

Jiang Yao frowned: "With my own talent and the resources invested by the clan, I don't even know if I can reach the Stellar Level in my lifetime. Besides, does the Taihuan Token, a grand Divine Lord's inheritance, really have no treasures?"

The Messenger raised its head haughtily and glanced at Jiang Yao sideways: "There are no treasures in the Taihuan Token. The Divine Lord had long since imprinted the inheritance techniques into my primordial spirit. You could say the only thing of value in the Taihuan Token is actually me. However, rest assured, I naturally have a way to get you to the Stellar Level quickly."

"What way?"

"For your Lingtong Race, as long as there is an accumulation of resources at the Planetary Level, and your telepathic amplitude passes the test, reaching the Stellar Level is actually not difficult. You don't need to worry about telepathic amplitude.

I will slightly modify that Seven Turns of Heaven's End and give you some pointers; an 18-fold telepathic amplitude is very simple. The secret method for increasing telepathic amplitude for your Lingtong Race's Planetary Level doesn't have fixed attributes, so it's really not difficult at all."

The Messenger shook its head and continued: "So for you, things like telepathic amplitude, combat power amplitude, and telepathic strength are all secondary. It is meaningless to play the genius cultivation game with those little brats. You must demonstrate value that would make the Lingtong Race willing to break their existing genius cultivation mechanism and directly invest a large amount of resources into you to quickly cross into the Stellar Level."

"Domain?"

"Domain!"

Jiang Yao and the Messenger spoke almost simultaneously.

"You are teachable; it is indeed a Domain. Although it is said that only the Stellar Level can possibly possess a Domain, I have discovered on the Virtual Universe these days that there are indeed instances of Planetary Level individuals possessing one.

Once you can possess a Domain, no telepathic amplitude will have any meaning. Even if you cultivate the Seven Turns of Heaven's End to the highest level, the telepathic amplitude might not compare to the terrifying explosive power of a Domain that commands the soul, body, and telepathic power as one.

That Prose said that if you practice the Seven Turns of Heaven's End to the highest level and control the Planetary Level Telepathic Weapon Lone Star Disk, you could be invincible at the Planetary Level. If you have a Domain, as long as you reach the fifth rank of the Planetary Level, you will be invincible immediately—not to mention that this is only one of the functions of a Domain.

Once you possess a Domain, unless the Lingtong Race has gone mad, they would never let a genius like you waste 20 years here playing around with weaklings."

"Do you have a secret method that can allow me to possess a Domain?"

Jiang Yao stood up excitedly; this was absolutely the fastest way to break the current deadlock.

Being able to directly bypass the Lingtong Race's current strict, layered cultivation system—this was the true rule of the game for the top geniuses of this world.

It didn't matter that the Taihuan Token only had techniques and no resources; this world was full of resources. The problem to solve was how to make the factions that controlled this world's resources bring the supplies to him.

However, the Messenger's next words almost made Jiang Yao fall over.

"I cannot make you possess a Domain; the Tianhuang Ancient Continent doesn't have such a thing. Besides, it is said that comprehending a Domain requires aptitude, and your aptitude... well, you haven't even reached the level of artistic conception yet, so how can you talk about a Domain? But—"

"Don't pause when you're speaking!"

The Messenger lifted its pig face: "I can allow you to possess something similar to a Domain—no, something that surpasses a Domain."

"Didn't you say the Taihuan Token has no treasures?"

The suckling pig flapped its wings and flew up in the space, its tone very confident: "Although most techniques are impossible for you to practice at your current Planetary Level, there is one secret technique that you can barely manage to practice with my help, and that is the Xu Yuan Opening."

Having said that, the Messenger transmitted the relevant information into Jiang Yao's soul via thought.

The Xu Yuan Opening is divided into three major chapters: the Opening Chapter, the Control Chapter, and the Sealing Chapter.

It involves first forging an opening treasure within the divine soul, and then using that treasure to open up a secret realm within the body. A deity is born within the secret realm, possessing the power to control the three treasures of one's own essence, energy, and spirit, as well as the power to control the area within a certain range and even seal enemies.

This secret realm, or space, can be called the Xu Yuan Space.

"The Xu Yuan Space exists between reality and illusion; it both exists and does not exist. Its foundation is your cognition, your belief, and your will. If you believe it exists, it exists; if you believe it does not exist, it does not."

Jiang Yao raised an eyebrow and retorted: "What an abstruse thing."

The Messenger shook its head: "Hehe, abstruse and mysterious, the gateway to all wonders. If it weren't so, how could we utilize the loopholes of this world? Naturally, the supreme rules can do nothing about something that does not exist."

"Of course, also because it exists between existence and non-existence, the Virtual Universe of your human race cannot manifest it, but that is not a big problem.

Because the Trial Space, Killing Space, and Sparring Space in the Virtual Universe all require payment, they are usually only used by those at the Stellar Level and above.

The Lingtong Race does not expect Planetary Level clansmen to act as cannon fodder, nor do they encourage you to cultivate combat awareness at the Planetary Level. Moreover, the destructive power of the Planetary Level is limited; you can't even leave a mark in this Starry Sky Building. The sparring grounds within the building are sufficient, so they don't usually let you Planetary Level individuals engage in sparring in the Virtual Universe.

Furthermore, Yanhe Star itself is the capital of your Lingtong Race's Yanhe Lineage. Most of the high-level members are on this planet, or even in the Starry Sky Building, which makes it convenient for them to verify your 'Domain'. So, as long as you quickly reach the Stellar Level, you won't have to worry about being exposed."

Jiang Yao was somewhat hesitant: "I'm not afraid at the Planetary Level, but what about when I reach the Stellar Level? It will definitely be impossible to hide it then."

The Messenger flicked its tail: "Once you reach the Stellar Level, you will be able to practice the techniques I teach you. By then, hehe, whether you have a Domain or not won't have any meaning.

But don't be in a hurry; the Opening Chapter of the Xu Yuan Opening consists of four levels: God Forging, Form Casting, Body Molding, and Opening."

The first three levels are fine with my guidance and assistance, but there is a prerequisite: you must imprint the Yan Script I give you into your soul to forge the form of the Opening treasure.

The Yan Script is the writing used by the Taihuan Sect to record its cultivation techniques and divine abilities; a single character contains infinite information. With your current soul, it is impossible to imprint the Yan Script; you would likely have your soul scattered to the winds in the process of attempting it.

Therefore, based on the laws of your world, I have researched a crash-course secret technique to rapidly enhance soul amplitude. Only by increasing your soul amplitude tenfold in a short period will you be able to withstand the pressure of imprinting the Yan Script.

However, I cannot currently find a good secret technique to enhance soul amplitude. Such techniques are undoubtedly quite precious, and my realm is far inferior to that of a Divine Lord. Furthermore, since it must be done in a short time, the soul amplitude crash-course technique I have deduced by exploring the laws of your world has its flaws.

The price is that it will overdraw your potential, meaning your soul, spiritual force, and body will all suffer damage as a result.

But rest assured, once you reach the Stellar Level and cultivate the techniques I give you, any losses can be recovered.

The pig within the space of the Taihuan Token spoke as if it were a demon from hell, luring one to fall into the abyss.

Jiang Yao pondered for half a quarter of an hour. Although he still had his doubts and felt deep down that this pig might have some other scheme, the collapse of his status as a genius of over a decade in a single day, combined with the situation of being targeted, left him with truly nothing left to lose.

For a salted fish with nothing to turn its life around, how could there be such a cheap deal without taking any risks?
