temporary?

Xu Yuan let out a sigh of relief and said softly:

"It seems you want to test something on me."

The sentence used is a declarative sentence.

The young girl Tianyan, stared at Xu Yuan for two seconds, then smiled.

"That's natural. If you want me to tell you what you want to verify, then I can't. But if you're willing to ask me, it's not impossible."

She leaned close to Xu Yuan's eyes and blinked.

"How about it, why don't you ask me to give it a try?"

"."

Xu Yuan looked at the smiling, golden-eyed girl before him and shook his head:

Actually, I'm more curious about you than about this.

"."

Be quiet for a second.

The young girl, Tianyan, pointed to herself, her eyes filled with a strange expression. "Me?"

Xu Yuan didn't speak, but raised his hand and flattened his palm, comparing it to the current height of the girl Tianyan, and then to the height of the loli Tianyan.

The young girl Tianyan, paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"This is a problem with the Cultivation Method."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes curved into two bright crescent moons, and she gazed at Xu Yuan with a smile:

"Do you prefer the other me?"

"."

Xu Yuan felt that the woman in front of him was somewhat mentally ill.

But he was no match for her, which left him feeling helpless.

With a sigh, Xu Yuan shook his head and turned to leave.

The young girl, Tianyan, quickly followed behind Xu Yuan, her crystal-clear bare feet stepping on the soft grass. She peeked out and asked with a smile:

"Hey, am I right? I am actually quite cute."

"No, I think you're much cuter now." Xu Yuan glanced at her.

The young girl Tianyan, blinked. "Why?"

"You guess?"

Xu Yuan did not answer and continued walking forward.

The loli Tianyan was even more aloof than Ran Qingmo, making it almost impossible to tell what the other was thinking.

Therefore, he did indeed prefer the young girl, Tianyan.

Because he talks too much.

Being talkative means you probably know something.

However, the Cultivation Method in this world were more complex than he had imagined.

He used to think that Cultivation Method were simply the circulation of Source Qi within the meridians, but the appearance of the Yantian Art has directly shattered this fixed mindset of his.

There are actually Cultivation Method that allow one to control their age and personality.

Thinking about it, Xu Yuan glanced again at the flat-chested girl beside him who kept chattering.

If this flat-chested girl is currently the second stage of the BOSS, I wonder if there will be a third stage, a mature woman form?

The young girl, Tianyan, noticed Xu Yuan's gaze, suddenly stopped speaking, clutched her chest, and backed away, saying:

I feel like you're thinking something very impolite.

"That's really impolite."

Xu Yuan nodded readily and retorted, "Aren't you being a bit disrespectful to me, expecting a playboy like me to be as polite and refined as those young masters?"

The young girl Tianyan, rolled her eyes at him.

The secret realm is vast.

The Guanyin Mountain Range stretches across only four maps in Cangyuan, yet in reality it spans thousands of miles. Based on this scale, the area of this secret realm is at least a million square kilometers. It's truly baffling how such a vast space was ever created.

After traveling westward for five days, Ran Qingmo was still lost somewhere. The girl Tianyan had been chattering in his ear at first, but Xu Yuan paid less attention to her, and she gradually spoke less.

After five days of travel, the Cloud Top Immortal Palace that had just entered the secret realm was now completely beyond sight, but before Xu Yuan's eyes was still a vast, boundless grassland.

Under the midday sun,

Xu Yuan squatted on the lawn, slowly and methodically processing the corpse of a wolf demon with the famous sword Clear Speech, a gift from his maternal uncle. He skinned it, removed its entrails, deboned it, rinsed it, and then seasoned it.

After completing the entire process, Xu Yuan took out a grill from his Sumeru Ring, skewered the prepared wolf meat, lit a fire, used his Source Qi as fuel, and began to happily roast the whole wolf in front of him.

Like in Cangyuan, this grassland is teeming with some rodent or wolf-like Demon Beast.

None of them were particularly strong, and with Xu Yuan's current seventh-grade cultivation, they were more than capable of handling them. Therefore, he didn't end up having to resort to military-grade Grain Avoidance Pill along the way.

As time passed, the aroma of roasted whole wolf quickly filled the air.

He used the Clear Speech Sword, which could cut through iron like mud, to slice off a wolf's leg and began to enjoy it with gusto.

The young girl, Tianyan, squatted beside Xu Yuan, staring at him for a long while before suddenly speaking:

"Hello."

"."

Xu Yuan turned around.

Tianyan extended a slender, white finger and pointed to the location of the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace:

"Where are you going? Isn't the mountain gate over there? Go another hundred meters, and you'll reach the edge of the secret realm."

Xu Yuan put down the wolf leg, thought for a moment, and said:

"Well, first of all, me."

"Stop talking nonsense, I know your name is Xu Changtian." The girl Tianyan rolled her eyes and interrupted.

"."

Xu Yuan instinctively wanted to laugh, but then he paused, stunned.

This world probably doesn't have this meme, right?

He narrowed his eyes, then turned and asked with a low laugh:

"You can predict the future, so why don't you predict it yourself?"

Without hesitation, Tianyan said directly:

"It will be very troublesome."

Xu Yuan remained noncommittal upon hearing this, staring into Tianyan's eyes and smiling with narrowed eyes:

"Little sister Tianyan, even if it's troublesome, you'll probably have to rely on yourself. We're enemies now; do you expect the enemy to answer your questions?"

As their eyes met, golden light flickered in Tianyan's eyes, and he sighed:

"Hmm, that makes sense."

"But I'm older than you, so you should call me 'older sister'."

Xu Yuan looked at her slightly immature face and smiled:

"At least you look younger than me now. If you grow up to be a big sister, I'll call you 'big sister,' okay?"

A soft hum escaped from Tianyan's delicate, pretty nose:

"Don't want."

"It really can transform?" Xu Yuan asked in surprise.

In a physical sense, it can be both cute and docile.

The world is truly full of wonders.

Upon hearing this, Tianyan didn't seem inclined to refuse to answer. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly grinned, showing his teeth, and crawled up to Xu Yuan:

Are you curious?

"Hmm." Xu Yuan nodded as they looked at each other closely.

Tianyan offered his suggestion with a smile, as if tempted by a devil:

"I'll ask you a question, and you ask me one. You can ask me anything, okay?"

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and did not immediately refuse, saying:

"A good suggestion."

Golden light flickered once more in the eyes of the young girl Tianyan:

"Okay, I'll go first. Why are you walking outside?"

Having obtained the information he wanted, Xu Yuan sighed and said:

What was your last question?

"Um?"

Tianyan asked with a slight doubt, "Isn't this just the first question?"

"That was indeed the first one." Xu Yuan nodded. "So what was your previous question?"

The young girl Tianyan, frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I'll ask you a question, and you ask me one, okay? This one?"

Yes, that's it.

Xu Yuan nodded and replied, "I don't think it's very good."

After saying that, Xu Yuan continued gnawing on the wolf leg.

"."

The young girl, Tianyan, paused for several seconds, pouted, and said with dissatisfaction:

"Xu Changtian, aren't you curious why I came to find you?"

Xu Yuan turned around and stopped, nodding very seriously:

"Of course I'm curious."

"Then why not agree?" asked the young girl, Tianyan.

Xu Yuan gave him a look as if he were looking at an idiot:

"Although we get along quite well, I think we're probably enemies now. And if an enemy wants to do something, I'll naturally try to sabotage it."

"Are you stupid to ask such a question?"

The young girl, Tianyan, stood there stunned for several seconds, clenching her fists:

"Xu Changtian, aren't you afraid of death?"

Xu Yuan shrugged, spread his hands, stared at her, and asked in return:

"If I said I wasn't afraid, would you believe me?"

The young girl, Tianyan, pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't believe it."

Xu Yuan laughed upon hearing this, a bright and cheerful laugh, "I am indeed very afraid of death, afraid of not being able to die."

Tianyan clenched his fists, stood up, stood on tiptoe, and raised his hand to indicate a very high position:

"My cultivation is so much higher than yours, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Xu Yuan glanced at her bare, white feet that were raised on tiptoe, then looked up, shook his head, and laughed:

"I already said I'm scared."

"Why do I feel you're so fearless? Is it because of the remnant soul within you?"

Xu Yuan thought for a moment:

"No, it's more probably just my personality. Besides, didn't you say you wouldn't kill me for the time being?"

"See how much I trust you~"

"."

Tianyan panted heavily for a few breaths, but unfortunately his chest didn't rise and fall much as he stared down at Xu Yuan:

I've changed my mind.

A gentle breeze stirred her long, flowing black hair, and against the light, her beautiful golden eyes shone especially brightly.

Xu Yuan replied very seriously:

"You won't change."

Upon hearing this, Tianyan chuckled, her previously bright golden eyes turning eerie and sinister.

"Are you so sure? Maybe."

"Don't say 'maybe' anymore."

Xu Yuan slowly stood up, preparing to place his hand on the little girl Tianyan's head. "We've spent so many days together, I'm completely certain."

Tianyan dodged without leaving a trace.

Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"How cold you are. I know why you came to find me."

Tianyan stared at Xu Yuan, smiling as well, neither agreeing nor disagreeing:

Why is that?

Xu Yuan calmly uttered a sentence:

"You can't see the future, can you?"

This secluded space is truly a place where birds sing and flowers bloom. In the transition from spring to summer, the warm yet cool breeze carries a hint of earthy scent, which is very comfortable.

Looking out over the vast grassland, two figures strolled leisurely, one in white and the other in light red palace attire. They walked one after the other, not like they were there to explore a secret realm, but rather like a brother and sister on a wild outing.

Ever since Xu Yuan said those words, the girl Tianyan fell silent, as if she had reverted to her withdrawn, Tianyan self.

He followed, but didn't say a word.

After walking for a long time, Xu Yuan suddenly stopped and waved his hand in front of her eyes:

Are you still there?

Tianyan glared at him fiercely.

Fierce yet cute.

Considering the other party's cultivation level, Xu Yuan felt he should be afraid. He suppressed a laugh for a few seconds, coughed lightly, and pointed to the Soul Ring on his right index finger:

"Don't look at me like that. You should know that a Saint's Remnant Soul lives in here, right?"

Tianyan's expression remained unchanged as he waited for Xu Yuan to continue.

Xu Yuan casually remarked:

"You overheard our conversation in that dilapidated house outside, didn't you? Don't tell me that now that you've grown bigger, you've lost all your memories from back then."

"..." Tianyan continued to stare at Xu Yuan without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan continued:

"This Saint's Remnant Soul knows about the Yantian Art and the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion, and judging from his words, you can probably guess that he knows quite a bit about the Yantian Art."

"What are you trying to say?" Tianyan finally spoke.

"It's simple, he told me your purpose."

"Naive." Tianyan sighed, a hint of pity in his eyes.

Xu Yuan shook his head and whispered:

"Tianyan, blind self-confidence is naive."

"Although the Yantian Art is powerful, the world is vast, not to mention the methods of a sage who has lived for tens of thousands of years."

"..." Tianyan remained silent this time.

Xu Yuan sighed and said in a low voice:

"He previously used a saintly method to tell me all your intentions."

"..." Old Man Luo.

"." Tianyan.

Xu Yuan understood the situation when he saw that the sage did not refute him.

The mental imprint left by Ghost Seven with his life prevented the Saint's Remnant Soul from doing anything that would harm his interests.

During the conversation, informing him that Heart Demon Knot was a warning to Xu Yuan, and also to Tianyan.

Branded with a deep-seated Heart Demon Knot, he would risk his life if Xu Yuan were in danger.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan said softly:

"Why don't you come out and say a few words, Old Man Luo?"

After a long silence,

"Young Xu, why are you telling her all this?"

See? They were spying.

He even said he was going to study Heart Demon Knot; what a hypocrite!

Xu Yuan smiled when he heard that deep, resonant voice echoing in his heart.

The Will Soul connection was established, and he suddenly Will Soul communication:

"Old Man Luo, take me to the border!"

The Big Ice Block's probing of Tianyan's strength at the bottom of the lake was valuable; at least it let Xu Yuan know that Tianyan's cultivation level was neither that of a saint nor a first-grade cultivator.

Otherwise, even if Tianyan didn't go all out, Ran Qingmo wouldn't have had a chance to fight back.

Of course, there is another, even more important piece of evidence.

The Saint's Remnant Soul remained remarkably calm.

Because of the ideological imprint, if Xu Yuan gets into trouble, he must die before him.

As soon as Xu Yuan finished speaking, Old Man Luo didn't ask why. A massive surge of soul power instantly erupted, and with its support, Xu Yuan turned and ran.

This secret realm is called the Dome Palace, a standard two-dimensional map.

The outer grasslands are accessible to players in the early stages, allowing them to level up by killing wolves and rats. However, the Cloud Top Immortal Palace, shrouded in mist at the innermost part, can only be accessed in the late game.

certainly,

You can enter early on if you're not afraid of dying.

The conditions for entering are also very simple: cross the boundary of the secret realm.

Outside the boundaries of ordinary secret realms are dead zones similar to spatial turbulence; if you accidentally press the wrong key and fall in, your health will be completely wiped out. However, the boundary of this secret realm allows you to teleport directly to the Cloud Top Immortal Palace from back then.

It's also a random teleportation.

A hundred meters can be covered in an instant.

"Stop."

The girl's voice came from behind, and a suffocating sense of oppression instantly surged from all directions. Xu Yuan's figure, which was being manipulated to run away, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

At the same instant,

Old Man Luo unleashed a torrent of angry curses:

"Young Master Xu, I've had the worst luck of my life to run into you!"

While cursing, the Saint's Remnant Soul controlled Xu Yuan's body and formed a hand seal:

"Untie!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the pressure that had been surging like a tidal wave vanished instantly.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xu Yuan's pupils constricted sharply.

This is better than a remnant soul.

He also knows the Yantian Art?!

But the thought had barely crossed his mind when the Saint's Remnant Soul had already controlled his body to cross the boundary of the secret realm.
