Deep in the cosmic starry skies,

The vast scroll slowly unraveled.

All the supreme beings, ultimate existences, stood outside the scroll,

Carefully observing every little detail of the massive painting.

Ever since that ‘White Paper’ squeezed into this universe,

And then was fixed here, unfolding in the form of a ‘scroll’,

...

All the Twelfth Stage powerhouses within the universe descended to this place.

This ‘White Paper’ was truly too mysterious, too inconceivable, containing an entire two-dimensional world.

Any being below the twelfth rank that approached would be automatically dimensionally reduced.

“There’s no way.”

“Even if we joined forces and tried refining for hundreds of thousands, millions of years, it would still be impossible to refine this ‘scroll’.”

“Correct, this scroll gives me the feeling of the vast universe itself, how could we refine it?”

“Perhaps we can’t refine it from the outside, but if we descend into the ‘scroll’, there might be a chance to refine it?”

…

The ultimate existences quickly exchanged thoughts.

In this period, they had basically used every method at their disposal.

Not to mention refining the ‘scroll’, they couldn’t even manage to shake it.

What’s more, that the ‘scroll’ eventually came to a stop was largely not because of the many supreme beings’ interference,

But because the ‘scroll’ itself grew tired of flying.

“Descend into the ‘scroll’?”

The unicorn supreme being glanced at the other many supreme beings.

Indeed.

This method was the most promising one they had deduced,

Yet no supreme being was willing to try it.

Supreme beings could resist the automatic dimensional reduction of the ‘scroll’.

But if they gave up resisting, they would naturally fall into the two-dimensional world within the ‘scroll’.

It’s easy to fall in, but it won’t be so easy to get out.

If an accident occurred inside, leading to the demise of the descended avatar,

The foundational loss would still synchronize with the supreme being’s main body.

For those Tenth and Eleventh Rank powerhouses who fell into the scroll, even if their avatars died within,

It wouldn’t have a significant impact on the forces behind them; the great alliance of peak clans would definitely not be shaken by the loss of a few Eleventh-Rank lives.

But it was different for the supreme beings.

If they suffered a drastic drop in strength, or were seriously injured,

The impact would be extremely far-reaching, and could even change the current situation of the starry sky races.

“Let’s wait and see.”

“So many strong members of my clan have fallen in.”

“Let’s wait for the next opening of the Heavenly Gate to see if they can come out.”

Each supreme being, each ultimate existence, was very cautious.

They all realized the extreme importance of this ‘scroll’.

Whoever could refine it would be akin to gaining the combat power of two or three more supreme beings.

But now, they couldn’t rush.

…

The Two-dimensional World.

In Dongyuan City, at Xueyu Tavern,

A hunchbacked old man was dozing off.

Suddenly,

Just at that moment,

The hunchbacked old man seemed to sense something,

And abruptly opened his eyes.

Only to see that a young man had taken a seat not far away at some point in time.

“My lord,”

The hunchbacked elder’s heart trembled, and he immediately stood up and said respectfully.

“I’ve come here to make a deal with your Xueyu Tavern,” Lin Yuan spoke, his tone calm and steady.

Over the years, he had gradually acquired many cultivation resources through Xueyu Tavern, and the two of them had become quite familiar.

Although Xueyu Tavern originated from Xueyu Ancient Country, it operated independently of the Ancient Country, with branches spread throughout the twelve ancient countries, maintaining an excellent reputation.

Of course, to be completely safe, Lin Yuan would always use the Bronze Compass to confirm that there was no danger in this area before each visit.

Upon descending to this two-dimensional world, Lin Yuan didn’t really trust anyone.

“Please, speak,” the hunchbacked elder immediately said in a low voice.

The more he interacted with Lin Yuan, the more he could sense Lin Yuan’s terror.

Initially, the hunchbacked elder thought that Lin Yuan was a powerhouse approaching the level of the Witch Emperor.

But today, the Tuoba Elder understood how ridiculous his original thought was? Approaching the Witch Emperor? With Lin Yuan’s strength, he would be considered incredibly strong even among the Witch Emperors.

As for Lin Yuan’s youthful appearance? In this world, there were some miraculous items, such as the Blood Rain Tea Tree from the Xueyu Ancient Country and other relics capable of maintaining eternal youth.

In the hunchbacked elder’s mind, Lin Yuan must be some ancient monster who had remained hidden from the world for who knows how many years, and his youthful appearance was merely a façade.

“I want some cultivation techniques, Ancestor Witch Cultivation Skills,” Lin Yuan said directly.

“Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills?” The hunchbacked elder was shocked but also felt it made sense.

With Lin Yuan’s strength, it was probably only the Ancestor Witch Cultivation Skills, symbolic of the highest level in this world, that could catch his interest.

“My lord, any Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skill comes with a significant origin, if not from some ancient country, then from certain supreme forces…”

The hunchbacked elder was somewhat troubled.

With the influence and power of Xueyu Tavern, they were indeed capable of obtaining Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills.

But obtaining those skills was one thing; whether they dared to sell them openly was another matter entirely.

Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills had characteristics that were very distinct and were ‘monopolized’ by the great ancient countries.

Without the permission of these countries, anyone who spread Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills privately would be hunted by all twelve ancient countries.

“Rest assured, the Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills I acquire will have nothing to do with Xueyu Tavern,” Lin Yuan assured.

“Since the lord has said so, it would be somewhat inappropriate for me to decline further,” the hunchbacked elder’s tone softened.

There were some things he dared not say bluntly, but Lin Yuan picked up the implications in his words and promptly made assurances, making it easier for him to act.

“So far, my Xueyu Tavern has collected a total of eight Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills. Does the lord plan to take all of them?” the hunchbacked elder tentatively asked.
