Xu Yuan knew there was a Transmission Formation under the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree.
He also knew that from here, one could go to many places: Wenyuan Pavilion, Treasure Rooms, and even the Sect Master’s sleeping quarters.
In Cang Yuan, the way it appeared was very simple, jumping into a map where players clicked with the mouse to choose their destination.
But now, as his Will-spirit connected with the Formation, the scene before Xu Yuan slightly startled him.
His consciousness seemed to be uploaded into the celestial dome above the Dome Palace, clearly observing everything below.
The hidden Jade Towers shrouded in mist, the drifting clouds with the wind, the mystical creatures wandering through the clusters of palaces...
Xu Yuan didn’t rush to teleport but instead searched the vast Dome Palace for the figure of a woman in black.
Upon entering the Secret Realm, he had purposefully let go of Ran Qingmo’s hand, causing her to be teleported to another location.
However, he had already informed her of some things within the Secret Realm beforehand.
At this moment, perhaps Big Ice Lump had already entered this space.
After searching for a while, Ran Qingmo was yet to be found, but Xu Yuan did find a barefooted girl dressed in light red palace attire.
She was currently hopping around barefoot, strolling curiously through the vermilion corridors, looking left and right, not like she was entering a deadly place, but more like she was on a jaunt.
Tianyan also entered,
this woman had already reached the Bewitchment Corridor by the Yan Leech Lake!
And as he watched, what was even more shocking was that this woman seemed to know her way, as she walked straight towards the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree.
Tianyan abruptly looked up at the sky.
Those golden eyes were still dazzling.
Though it was only a moment, Xu Yuan inexplicably felt as if the other party could see him.
While Xu Yuan was hesitating, the barefooted girl raised her hand, smiling and waving towards the sky, her red lips parted as if saying:
"Xu Changtian, I found you..."
Xu Yuan frowned and let out a light snort.
He was preparing to manipulate the outside Illusion Array using the "Soul Key" granted by the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree.
The previous Bewitchment Corridor was merely on standby; if it were truly activated, the vermilion corridor would transform into a thorough Trapping Formation.
Once someone entered, unless they broke the Formation with brute force, there would be no other way out.
But just at that moment,
An abrupt booming voice rose within Xu Yuan’s heart, the Saint’s Remnant Soul quickly said:
"That’s a fake! She’s already at the entrance!"
Xu Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly; he believed the Saint’s Remnant Soul wouldn’t deceive him on such a matter.
Without any hesitation, his Will-spirit immediately locked on to the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Dome Palace...
A humming sound and a flash of white light later, Xu Yuan’s figure disappeared in an instant.
And the tree hollow that was as bright as day gradually dimmed, returning to tranquility after a moment.
"Tap... tap... tap..."
The sound of bare feet on the stone floor was subtle yet distinct.
Tianyan walked down the tree hollow at a leisurely pace, looking at the spot where Xu Yuan had disappeared, her willow-leaf shaped eyebrows knit slightly in frustration:
"I clearly could have caught up, why... did I miss again?"
The library in the Dome Palace is called Wenyuan.
It has thirteen levels, each guarded by a Formation and mystical creatures, with three methods to ascend.
The first method, break the Formation with brute force, fighting your way up level by level.
The second, use the token dropped by that madwoman.
The third, directly through the Transmission Formation beneath the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree.
Due to the short teleportation distance, Xu Yuan did not lose consciousness this time. After a brief moment of dizziness, he looked up and surveyed his surroundings.
The room was vintage in style, filled with a unique fragrance that seemed to originate from paper doors; three rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged in the center of the room.
At that moment, a young woman was quietly standing in the corridor between the bookcases, dusting off the secret techniques.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan’s gaze slightly sharpened.
The young woman’s lower half was clad in a jade-green silk skirt that did little to conceal the pertness of her curves, while her upper half comprised only a traditional-style chest wrap and a semi-transparent black gauze clothing, revealing a generous expanse of her snowy and radiant skin.
She seemed to have noticed Xu Yuan, who had suddenly been teleported there.
The cherry blossom mark on Xu Yuan’s brow once again became visible.
The young woman glanced at it, her murderous intent dissipated, and her eyes and brows conveyed a thick suggestion of seduction; she half-squatted and bowed, revealing ample springtime splendor:
"Saintess, you have arrived."
Xu Yuan was taken aback by the words, but then he understood.
Yuchu, who had been sacrificed in a blood ritual, was once the Saintess of the Qionghua Sect. The soul key she had given him naturally belonged to the Saintess as well.
With that realization, Xu Yuan let out a long breath.
He should be safe for the time being.
Wenyuan Pavilion had a total of thirteen floors, and each floor had a boss. The bosses from the first to eighth floor were all above level seventy, while those from ninth to twelfth were above level eighty.
In other words, right now, right below the building, there were eight Great Grandmasters and four from the Primordial Realm guarding the door for him.
Xu Yuan did not believe that these bosses, after becoming reality, would act the same as in the game, foolishly standing in their boss rooms, not venturing out, waiting to face intruders in a one-on-one duel.
Eight Great Grandmasters and four from the Primordial Realm, plus the young woman at the peak of the Primordial Realm on the top floor.
Xu Yuan felt that even Xu Changge might not be able to fight his way through.
Feeling relaxed, Xu Yuan simply sat down on the stone steps behind him, and his gaze unconsciously fell on the only woman in the study.
The young woman noticed Xu Yuan’s gaze and smiled at him, slowly walking over.
The curtain swayed lightly, the sway of her hips gentle; her slender waist, flat abdomen, and thighs were occasionally and appropriately revealed.
As the young woman approached, an enticing, intoxicating sound even began to ring out in the surroundings.
The seductive young woman considerately knelt in front of Xu Yuan, every subtle action of hers exuding a scent of longing.
Xu Yuan suddenly remembered,
The Qionghua Sect was similar to the Hehuan Sect in practicing dual cultivation.
And dual cultivation was not necessarily limited to one man and one woman.
Swallowing his saliva, Xu Yuan was about to speak,
When he suddenly heard the Saint’s Remnant Soul chuckle in his mind:
"Heh... I’m starting to believe your words now."
Following that chuckle,
The scene before Xu Yuan’s eyes altered.
The pavilion remained the same, the bookcases still as they were, the only change lay in the young woman kneeling before him.
It was a movable stone sculpture, a lifelike portrayal of a young woman.
But perhaps due to the passage of time, the surface was faintly cracked; however, the eyes of the sculpture still held their original captivating allure.
Xu Yuan’s eye twitched, and he drew back a little.
He shouldn’t, at least he shouldn’t.
Clearing his throat, Xu Yuan stood up and said:
"I have come here to search for a cultivation technique."
Seeing his reaction, the young woman sculpture didn’t linger, but slowly stood up and bowed:
"Yes, Saintess. Which cultivation technique would you like to find?"
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then said softly:
"Nine Elemental Calming Art."
The eyes of the young woman sculpture flickered with a hint of light, and she set off towards the bookshelves.
Her hips still swayed with a hint of allure.
