Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?

After reading it once, Lin Yuan subconsciously tried it.

The cultivation techniques of the lower world were naturally no challenge for him, and flames rose within three breaths.

However, unlike what is recorded in the book, his Samadhi True Fire did not originate from his mouth, but rather began to burn slowly from the top of his head. His originally flowing black hair turned golden-red and soon turned to ashes, leaving the Zhuge family patriarch opposite him dumbfounded.

The Samadhi Fire ignites the essence, energy, and spirit of the human body. Ordinary people have intact physical bodies, and although their spirit originates from the Niwan point (the upper dantian), it leaves an imprint on the entire body. Therefore, they can freely control where the fire starts. However, most successful people are simply accustomed to spewing fire from their mouths.

For the immortal gods of the Devouring Stars world, their essence and energy had already been transformed into divine bodies during their breakthroughs, and the two were inseparable.

This body is a divine power clone. Its "divine" aspect, namely Lin Yuan's consciousness, is concentrated in the head. Therefore, when he circulates the Samadhi True Fire, he will start from the top of his head first. After that, he just needs to practice more.

"Hmm?" The village chief gave a sharp look and then made a tacit gesture to seal the conversation.

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "This young man is teachable!"

He casually left two scrolls on the ground, then with another stroke, stepped into the spatial passage.

After he disappeared, the village chief of Zhuge Village, who looked like a comical supporting character, slumped in a chair covered in sweat. It took him a full five minutes to get up with the help of his wife.

The two walked to where Lin Yuan had just been and picked up the book from the ground.

"The Five Hearts Facing Heaven Cultivation Method" and "The Secret Technique of Fire Calamity"

Upon opening the book, the two stared at each other in disbelief. Although they didn't understand what the book meant by "genetic energy" and "fire domain," it described that as long as one cultivated to the "planetary level," one could live for thousands of years—the path to immortality that countless people pursued!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After confirming the authenticity of the technique through his inner vision, the village chief completely lost control of his emotions, laughing wildly to the sky: "So what if it's Samadhi True Fire? No one in the village has mastered it in hundreds of years! Today, I'll use it to exchange for the safety of countless members of my Zhuge family and this secret method of immortality. Even if our ancestor, Marquis Wu, knew about this, he would have to praise my wise decision!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my husband is the best." The woman coaxed her precious baby like a child, but thinking about what had just happened, she couldn't help but chuckle: "It would be even more perfect if you weren't so abstract next time."

"That's because Xiaomeng has been watching martial arts dramas next to me every day lately. I think the heroes in the dramas are so stylish, so I wanted to learn from them."

As he spoke, he grabbed the other person's arm and shook it violently, feigning exasperation, and said, "If I become an abstract wife, won't you love me anymore?"

"Oh, I love it! Mwah~"

There was absolutely no way to deal with this old man, and everyone in the village had run to the back mountain, so no one could see him. She blushed and gave him a kiss to appease the man who loved to act cute.

……

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, who had returned to Longhu Mountain, was in high spirits.

When immortal gods fight powerful enemies, they have a powerful move that they don't use easily: burning their divine bodies. After burning, they can unleash tremendous energy in a short time, usually as a last-ditch effort in desperate situations.

The Samadhi True Fire he obtained in Zhuge Village has similar characteristics, and with the addition of spiritual power, he has a stronger control over the degree of burning of his divine body, making it even more powerful.

Most importantly, due to the limitations of the original cosmic rules, Lin Yuan's total divine power is almost impossible to improve before he can comprehend the higher-level primordial laws further. However, his spiritual will is different. Even if his will is raised to the limit of the King-Sealing Realm or even the level of the Universe Venerable, he may be able to unleash strength far exceeding his paper cultivation level.

Moreover, regardless of the increase in Lin Yuan's divine power or mental will, the power of the Samadhi True Fire will increase accordingly, and he won't even need to specifically learn or create a higher-level secret technique to fully unleash his strength.

It was precisely because the Samadhi True Fire gave him such a great surprise that Lin Yuan left those two cultivation manuals for the Zhuge family.

"Although the cultivation system of Swallowing the Stars requires more energy as it progresses, the cultivation techniques I left behind can only be used to cultivate up to the Eternal Star level at most."

Lin Yuan pondered to himself, "This part only requires ordinary cosmic radiation energy. The world of Under One Person also exists; surely they'll produce someone who masters it in a few hundred years!"

……

The night was as dark as ink, but the small courtyard on the back of Longhu Mountain was still dimly lit.

Tian Jinzhong slumped on the couch, his arms and legs bare from the elbows down. Flames soared into the sky on the mountain. Xiao Qingzi, who was serving him, stood by with his hands at his sides. Rong Shan, who was in charge of guarding the door, stood guard with a vigilant expression.

At that moment, Xiao Yuzi burst through the door, panting heavily, her face deathly pale, her voice trembling with anxiety: "Senior Brother Rongshan! Something terrible has happened! The Quanxing demons are attacking the mountain, and many of our fellow disciples have been killed!"

"What did you say, Xiaoyuzi? Where's Master?" Rongshan grabbed Xiaoyuzi's arm, his grip so strong that Xiaoyuzi screamed in pain.

"Brother Rongshan, you're hurting me."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Rong Shan quickly let go: "With Master overseeing things on the mountain, how dare those Quanxing demons?"

"I don't know. It seems the advisor is still passing on his teachings to Zhang Chulan. I... I didn't see it."

"This..." Rong Shan was already impatient, and upon hearing this, he paced back and forth anxiously. Finally, he couldn't help but look at Tian Jinzhong in the wheelchair: "Uncle Tian..."

Tian Jinzhong slowly raised his eyes, his voice aged: "Go ahead, what danger could an old man like me possibly face? Xiao Qingzi and Xiao Yuzi are looking after things here, so it's alright. The overall situation on the mountain is more important, don't delay."

"But……"

"Go quickly," Tian Jinzhong said calmly.

Rong Shan no longer hesitated, clasped his hands and said, "Take care, Uncle-Master, I'll be right back!" He leaped out and headed straight for the front of the mountain.

The courtyard gate closed, and the house fell silent instantly.

"Senior brother, are you really alright?" Xiao Qingzi had just asked when Xiao Yuzi's panic vanished. Before the other could react, he swiftly chopped Xiao Yuzi on the back of the neck.

Xiao Qingzi groaned and collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Yuzi straightened up, straightened his Taoist robe, and bowed respectfully to Tian Jinzhong: "Gong Qing, acting head of Quanxing Sect, greets Master Tian."

He called out in a low voice to the shadows outside the window, "Lü Liang, come in."

With a flash of black, Lü Liang leaped into the room, his gaze landing on Tian Jinzhong, who was unable to move in his wheelchair. A smile appeared on his lips: "Old Tian, ​​excuse me, but I'll borrow your memories today."

Lu Liang stepped forward, his Qi claw aimed directly at Tian Jinzhong's brow, intending to extract his memories.

Just as the Qi claw was about to touch the skin.

Tian Jinzhong's cloudy old eyes suddenly lit up, radiating a sharp light, and he was no longer senile.

"Is this what you've been waiting for?"

Before he finished speaking, beneath the old man's empty sleeves and trouser legs, his severed limbs rapidly regenerated and solidified in the dark, viscous power of the swamp, and in the blink of an eye, his body, crippled for decades, was completely restored!

At the same time, the power of the swamp swept through the entire house. The moment Lü Liang's Qi claws touched the black mist, they were devoured and dissolved. Even his own Qi was pulled out of control. His body sank, and he was about to be dragged into the swamp!

Natural type, Swamp Fruit, fully opened.

"You... your hands and feet..." Lü Liang was terrified out of his wits. "This isn't the work of an extraordinary person!"

Gong Qing's face turned ashen, and he was shocked to realize that Tian Jinzhong had known everything all along and had deliberately cooperated with him to send Rongshan away, just to wait for them to walk into the trap.

"Go!" He turned and ran away.

But as soon as he rushed to the door, he was met with an overwhelming pressure.

The white-haired figure in the Taoist robe stood quietly in the moonlight, and the very essence of heaven and earth seemed to solidify around him.

Zhang Zhiwei!

Knowing what was going to happen today, he didn't get entangled with Zhang Chulan at all. He simply comforted him for a few words and then returned to guard outside the courtyard, waiting for this very moment.

"The Old Celestial Master?!"

Gong Qing and Lü Liang froze, unable to even utter a sound of fear.

The old master raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the two of them, and simply raised one hand to gently brush them aside.

With a single palm strike, all of Gong Qing's secret techniques and life-saving methods became useless. He collapsed to the ground without even a scream, his life extinguished.

Under immense pressure, Lü Liang's two hands, both red and white, awakened on their own. However, they were useless against the Heavenly Master's tangible golden light spell. As soon as the opponent's palm wind swept past, he died on the spot.

Zhang Zhiwei slowly walked into the house, looked at Tian Jinzhong whose swamp power was gradually receding, and said in a gentle tone: "Junior brother, thank you for pretending for so long."

Tian Jinzhong stared at the corpse on the ground, his eyes glistening with tears: "Senior brother! Xiaoyuzi took care of me for three years, serving me faithfully for three whole years! Why would he do this?!"

"Oh, junior brother, don't cry, don't cry." Zhang Zhiwei quickly hugged his overwhelmed junior brother, not caring that the other's tears and snot were wiping all over his Taoist robe.

……

"Um, what's going on here...?"

Just as the two were reminiscing about their glorious past, a sudden voice completely ruined the atmosphere.

Seeing the two still embracing, Lin Yuan's lips curled slightly, and he said with a smile, "I was just passing by, simply passing by. You two, please continue..."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately let go, each taking three or four steps back in the blink of an eye, pointing and gesturing at each other.

One person said the other was crying at such an old age, getting his robe all snot up; another said the other didn't know how to comfort people, making it impossible to even see their eyes, let alone show any sincerity...

After a while of playful banter, seeing Lin Yuan reach for his phone as if to take a picture, Zhang Zhiwei couldn't take it anymore and pretended to cough twice: "Ahem, Fellow Daoist Lin, have you achieved your purpose for coming here this time? Is there anything else this old Daoist can help you with?"

The two sides reached an agreement on the day they arrived. The scene on the day of the Quanxing attack on the mountain was too chaotic, and Balun might not even be on the mountain. Therefore, Lin Yuan would have to find a way to get the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief that he wanted.

In exchange, the Old Master will grant him the freedom to move around, and as long as he doesn't cause too much trouble, he won't be kicked out of this world.

In other words, Lin Yuan can freely search for things that are useful to him during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. How much he can bring back is entirely up to him. Zhang Zhiwei won't care if he takes away the Eight Extraordinary Techniques or even other high-level secret arts. He will even step in to resolve any trouble caused by Lin Yuan's actions.

"That's about it." Lin Yuan nodded and put away his phone.

But do you think he didn't take any photos?

How could that be? He just showed up and immediately filmed two old men hugging and crying! It's just that he filmed it using a chat group. There aren't many of Tian Tongren's dark histories, so we should keep them for future viewing.

"Senior brother," Tian Jinzhong had already wiped away his tears, "Now that you've come to me, what about Lao Lu? If you're not here, who can control the crazed Lao Lu?"

"Don't worry!" Zhang Zhiwei's eyes were sharp. "Junior Brother Ye has taken care of it. He's much stronger than me now. Just don't let Old Lu get beaten to tears..."
