The vast Wenyuan Pavilion was completely silent; neither of them uttered a sound.

Until the Spirit Puppet Matron brought over the Nine Origin Calming Art that Xu Yuan needed:

"Your Holiness, the Method Formula you requested."

This handwritten sheet of paper, about a dozen pages long, has text that subtly shimmers with a certain glow.

Xu Yuan took it, glanced at it briefly, and then put it into his Sumeru Ring.

At this moment, the Saint's Remnant Soul suddenly interjected with praise:

"The Secret Method here are quite profound, allowing even beginners to maintain a state of cultivation. You must have come specifically for this, kid?"

Xu Yuan ignored the probing of the Saint's Remnant Soul and instead directly asked the Spirit Puppet Matron:

"May I choose a few more Cultivation Method?"

In Cangyuan, if you choose to force your way in and kill the Spirit Puppet Matron, she will randomly drop a Cultivation Method, of which the Nine Origin Calming Art is one.

The Spirit Puppet Matron bowed and shook her head, saying:

"According to the rules, Your Excellency, you can only choose one Method Formula from these pavilions within the next ten years."

Seeing this, Xu Yuan nodded slightly, then turned around and prepared to walk into the teleportation array behind him.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved. Although there are other treasures in this Dome Palace, they are too dangerous for him at the moment, and there is no need to risk his life to retrieve them.

After finding Ran Qingmo using the teleportation array, he prepared to run away, since Tianyan was still chasing after him.

But the moment he stepped onto the teleportation array, the Spirit Puppet Matron suddenly appeared before Xu Yuan, her voice still carrying a seductive respect:

"Holy Maiden, if you wish to leave, please return the Secret Method to me."

Xu Yuan's heart sank slightly.

The Cultivation Method in the Wenyuan Pavilion actually have such limitations?

The Saint's Remnant Soul suddenly interjected at this moment:

"I've roughly memorized the recipe; I can tell you about it after we get out."

Xu Yuan glanced at him sideways.

The Saint's Remnant Soul smiled.

Xu Yuan snorted softly, then sat cross-legged on the steps of the teleportation platform and began to carefully peruse the document.

He didn't trust this Old Man Luo.

In Cultivation Method, even the slightest error can lead to disastrous consequences; the consequences of even a single byte change are unimaginable.

Seeing that he hadn't managed to fool Xu Yuan, the Saint's Remnant Soul said no more, only offering a reminder:

"Young Xu, you'd better hurry, Tianyan might be here at any moment."

Xu Yuan frowned, flipping through the Secret Method as he casually replied:

"This Tianyan should only be at most a second-grade cultivator, right?"

"Almost."

After the previous clash of true words, the Saint's Remnant Soul had a general understanding of the opponent's strength and whispered, "I estimate that Tianyan is just a saintess of the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion, not the pavilion master."

Xu Yuan answered casually:

"Since she's a second-rank official, do you really think she can defeat so many Spirit Puppet in the Wenyuan Pavilion?"

"So many?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul frowned and glanced at the Spirit Puppet Matron standing beside Xu Yuan. The Chaos Lineage Array was still set up inside the Wenyuan Pavilion, and his Will Soul could not explore too far.

Xu Yuan stared at the manual, then casually pointed downwards:

"There are four second-rank officials and eight third-rank officials on the lower floors."

The Saint's Remnant Soul's pupils contracted slightly.

It wasn't the sheer number of Spirit Puppet below that surprised them, but rather the clarity with which Xu Yuan knew them.

He was already somewhat confused about the guy in front of him.

He seemed like an old monster, yet also like an ordinary person.

After a pause, the Saint's Remnant Soul sighed and said in a low voice:

"Uncertain."

Xu Yuan frowned and looked up:

"What do you mean? You mean Tianyan can withstand such a massive siege from the Origin Beginning?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul said in a low voice:

"The Spirit Puppet is not True Person, and there is a great difference between it and the true Origin Beginning. Moreover, I don't even know some of the Secret Method of the Yantian Art."

Xu Yuan frowned, no longer looking at the Secret Method in his hand, and directly looked up at it:

"Old Man Luo, didn't you cultivate the Yantian Art? Why don't you know about it?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul rolled its eyes:

"Young Xu, do you think the Yantian Art is as easy as cabbage, something you can just cultivate whenever you want?"

Xu Yuan stared at the Saint's Remnant Soul with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

The Saint's Remnant Soul, with a nonchalant expression, said:

"Actually, you guessed correctly earlier. I did steal the Yantian Art, but I only stole the Heaven Character True Mantra Chapter of the Yantian Art."

"Tsk, kid, don't look at me like that. I have no reason to lie to you about this. Just trying to steal this Heavenly Word Mantra almost got me killed in that ' Heaven Pavilion.' There were more than a dozen Saint Venerable back then."

Xu Yuan sighed, no longer delving into the matter, and asked:

"Alright, so why did Tianyan come to me?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul chuckled upon hearing this and explained:

"Simply put, while the Yantian Art Yantian Art can deduce all things, there are three situations that it cannot calculate."

"First, some special physical conditions."

"Second, some powerful old monsters who can conceal themselves."

"Third, when a great calamity befalls the world, the Yantian Art will only reveal pitch blackness."

Xu Yuan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked:

"So, the Yantian Art cannot deduce my Innate Dao Body?"

"The Innate Dao Body can be deduced using the Yantian Art."

After speaking, the Saint's Remnant Soul stared at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan remained expressionless, his words tinged with admiration:

"Wow, I, Xu Changtian, am actually the calamity of the world!"

"..." The Saint's Remnant Soul twitched at the corner of its lips.

That kid is shameless.

Xu Yuan casually skipped over the topic and asked in a low voice:

"So what does this have to do with her wanting to come with me?"

Because of the tacit understanding reached earlier, the Saint's Remnant Soul didn't dwell on the previous topic, but this time his tone was somewhat uncertain:

"It's nothing much, basically just wanting to set an anchor point for you."

"Anchor point?" Xu Yuan frowned.

The Saint's Remnant Soul said in a low voice:

"I don't know the specific details, but the records in the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion state that whenever a variable occurs, the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion Master or the current Holy Son and Holy Daughter will go to the person affected by the variable and stay by their side."

Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked:

What happened to those who were followed in the end?

A playful smile appeared on the lips of the Saint's Remnant Soul:

"There are generally two types,"

"Either join the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion, or become a dead man."

Xu Yuan remained quiet for a few breaths, then suddenly chuckled softly.

"So domineering?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul shrugged, his answer straightforward:

"Variables are not allowed in the eyes of the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion. Back then, the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion had the power to do so, but that's not necessarily the case now."

"Oh"

Xu Yuan smiled, temporarily suppressing his thoughts, and began to concentrate on studying the Secret Method in his hands.

Time flies in the antique Wenyuan Pavilion; an hour passes in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yuan also roughly understood the principle behind the Nine Origin Calming Art.

Once a cultivator enters the Origin Beginning Realm, their meridians can continuously absorb external Source Qi like a tidal wave. This Cultivation Method was created by a brilliant and powerful individual based on this Secret Method, allowing even lower-level cultivators to practice breathing exercises at any time.

Of course, the restrictions are also significant.

Of the 127 meridians in the human body, this Cultivation Method requires the use of 109. If even one meridian is not properly connected, the exercise cannot be completed, and it also places high demands on the Will Soul.

However, these things were no problem for Xu Yuan's Innate Dao Body.

Having grasped the underlying principles, Xu Yuan began to memorize the operating circuitry word by word.

Tianyan was still chasing after him, so he didn't have time to practice here. He could only memorize it first and practice it later.

Another hour passed.

Xu Yuan returned the Method Formula to the young woman and was about to head to the teleportation array to escape.

The array patterns on the platform suddenly flashed.

Then,

A graceful figure appeared on the teleportation platform, and a familiar, melodious voice rang out:

"Xu Yuan, I just saw Tianyan fighting with a crazy woman outside."

I went out today, so I'm a little late. Sorry.
