The Black Death Sect leader, Mr. Hei, apologizes to Lin Yi for his subordinate's transgression, revealing his sect's allegiance to the Celestial Bright Mansion. Lin Yi, after a tense negotiation, spares Mr. Hei and his sect on the condition of receiving a valuable Dark Blood Jade. Zhang Yun, revealing her cunning nature, further extorts Mr. Hei for more resources. Afterward, Zhang Yun begins teaching Lin Yi and his companions the powerful [Dubhe Strange Scripture].

"Hmm? Isn't this part of the Heart Method? What's wrong, Xiaoyi? These contents were something my father had me memorize before he passed away. Although I don't quite understand why he spoke of the [Dubhe Strange Scripture] with such mystery, I thought since he valued these words so much, they must hold significance."

Lin Yi still couldn't discern the true thoughts in Zhang Yun's mind.

However, from her simple expression, it wasn't hard to see that she wasn't lying.

"What's the matter, Xiaoyi? Have you heard this passage before, or can you discern some inherent truth within it?"

Lin Yi shook his head.

He couldn't reveal that this content was similar to the introduction to the [Eight-Nine Mystical Skill].

There was just too much involved in this matter.

Although he couldn't see through Zhang Yun's thoughts, Lin Yi was certain that this girl harbored unimaginable hatred in her heart. If she discovered the formidable aspects of this cultivation technique, wouldn't she drop everything to cultivate and avenge her deceased friends and family?

"No, Master, it's just that this cultivation technique sounds a bit too mystical. I'm just asking, thinking that since the [Dubhe Strange Scripture] can incite fierce competition among the major forces of Yunzhou, it must have extraordinary effects when fully cultivated."

Hearing this, Zhang Yun proudly lifted her little face.

"Naturally, our Dubhe Pavilion was a dominant sect in the entire Yunzhou a few years ago. Previously, the giants of Yunzhou were not eight clans, but one pavilion and eight clans."

Zhang Yun's pride didn't last too long.

Yes, no matter how glorious, that's all in the past.

Even though the senior brothers had only cultivated a part of the [Dubhe Strange Scripture], their strength had grown so quickly. Why, despite knowing all the content by heart, was she still a mediocre little weakling?

A lonely expression quietly surfaced. This young girl was too young; when her thoughts churned, she'd wear them on her face.

"Got it, Master. Let's start. We three are too curious."

Guard true!

Understand the eternal source, where yin and yang replace each other, with true Qi endless; with a steady heart, no laws can invade.

[Unbreakable]

[Yin and Yang in succession, the Zhou Tian constant rotation]

[Guard the essence with no harm, the unbreakable foundation eternally built]

Emmm......

It was only then that Lin Yi understood. Zhang Yun—no, rather, this cultivation technique handed down in Dubhe Pavilion through generations—was indeed a part of the [Eight-Nine Mystical Skill].

However, this part was somewhat too scattered.

When Sumeru dissipated back then, Zacks had taught him the life-saving [Eight-Nine Mystical Skill].

Zacks was quite generous, giving Lin Yi the entirety of the first part, though Lin Yi couldn't fully master all its content with his current strength.

Yet, the entirety of the first part had a name—Immortal!

Yes, immortal.

But this immortal is not on the same level as the Immortal Law's immortal.

As a Supreme Law, the Immortal Law's abilities are completely incomparable to the Power of the Primordial.

In the face of the Power of the Primordial, the Immortal Power of the Immortal Law is as good as nonexistent.

But Lin Yi had verified the Immortal Power of the [Eight-Nine Mystical Skill]; it still held up against the Divine Power of the Calamity and the Power of the Primordial.

Lin Yi could hardly believe it. If he were to master and integrate all sections of the [Eight-Nine Mystical Skill] to great completion, just how powerful would he become?

Returning to reality, Lin Yi had to face a harsh truth.

The Heart Method provided by Zhang Yun was obscure and difficult to understand, and Lin Yi couldn't grasp the cultivation path within.

Yet from the literal meaning of the Heart Method, it wasn't hard to read that Zhang Yun's mastered Heart Method pertained to the unbreakable aspects.

After fully cultivating this segment of the [Eight-Nine Mystical Skill] to great completion, Lin Yi should be able to stand unyielding in the face of Calamity.

The people of Xiang Wuxing are quite monstrous.

This group of people managed to delve into such incomprehensible things for Lin Yi, who had mastered the Power of the Primordial, to the extent of being able to cultivate them. It's no exaggeration to call them monstrous.

From morning till sunset, the three sat cross-legged, motionless.

Perhaps Xiaoyi had also noticed that the [Dubhe Strange Scripture] was something of worth. Throughout the cultivation process, she showed no impatience, and even without understanding, she maintained her patience and seriousness, no less than Xiyue.

"So, the Heart Method of this sect is quite profound, right?"

The delicious food was ready.

Observing her three disciples engrossed in their meditation, Zhang Yun felt a sense of deep satisfaction. While they delved into the profound secrets of their cultivation technique, she had already diligently prepared all the meals.

"Hehe, Master, this cultivation technique of ours is indeed remarkably profound. I pondered for an entire afternoon, unable to discover any cultivation path, and instead, my stomach..."

Patting her noticeably empty stomach as a clear hint, Xiaoyi, with not a shred of apology, eagerly lunged towards the two tables laden with exquisite dishes.

At present, Dubhe Pavilion was not suffering from a lack of funds. However, without any active income generation, the financial contributions from various factions would inevitably dwindle.

It was evident that Zhang Yun, in her role as Sect Leader, held a deep affection for these three disciples.

"Master, I wish to inquire, did grandmaster leave anything behind for you before he passed? I feel that without utilizing the predecessors' cultivation experiences alongside the [Dubhe Strange Scripture], it would take a minimum of two years to fully master it."

Two years?!

Upon hearing this, Xiyue was utterly stunned, frozen in place.

Lin Yi's talent and the speed of his progress were already beyond any descriptor like 'genius.' To consider that less than two years had passed since his initiation into cultivation, and he had already attained his current formidable strength. The assertion that it would take Lin Yi two years to comprehend the scripture only served to highlight the astonishing difficulty of the [Dubhe Strange Scripture].

Xiyue possessed exceptional talent.

Yet, after listening to the Heart Method, she found herself unable to discern any cultivation path, nor did she have any concrete grasp of the entirety of the [Dubhe Strange Scripture].

"Are you being serious?"

Aware that Lin Yi often indulged in jesting, Xiyue was uncertain if his previous statement held any truth.

If it were indeed true, wouldn't it take her at least twenty years to achieve comprehension?

To spend twenty years within Xiang Wuxing – what a concept that was!

Lin Yi helplessly spread his hands and nodded with gravity.

"There's no other way. This Heart Method is clearly not a complete section. There should be a simpler upper volume, or perhaps an earlier volume, that is necessary to fully understand this [Dubhe Strange Scripture]. To forcibly unravel its mysteries inevitably requires significant time."

"Unless..."

Xiyue's brow furrowed, and she interjected.

"Unless the upper or earlier volume can be discovered?"

Lin Yi nodded emphatically, his gaze shifting towards Zhang Yun.

At this juncture, to circumvent the expenditure of such extensive time, the sole hope resided in the remnants left behind by Zhang Yun’s father.
