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

In an unknown land beyond endless time and space, a secret dialogue is taking place.

"Fellow Daoist has already transcended the mortal world, why are you still teasing those children? Look how frightened they are, hiding in my world and afraid to go back."

If Lin Yuan and the others were here, they would definitely think that the person speaking looks a lot like Ye Fan. If it weren't for the unique style of the high ponytail at the back of his head, they could easily be mistaken for being cut from the same mold.

"Doesn't Fellow Daoist Huang also allow his past self to play with them?" There was clearly only one figure on the other side, but when he spoke, three different voices, one old, one middle-aged and one young, rang out.

"It's just a novel experiment to see if our past will get worse or better with the help of this group of like-minded friends."

Shi Hao nodded, agreeing with his thoughts. Otherwise, Lin Yuan would have been finished the moment he kept his dark history. The Heavenly Emperor may not be swayed by anything, but that doesn't mean he can't be petty and hold grudges.

"I'll be right here waiting for you to grow up. You can't escape this beating!"

In the world of "Covering the Sky," Lin Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had just accidentally walked on the brink of death. He was so frightened that he didn't even want to watch the show that Yan Lingji and her group had carefully prepared. He immediately packed his things and prepared to go to Purple Mountain to finish things as soon as possible and return home.

"Big brother, there's progress on the chat group issue." Just then, another person who looked very similar to Ye Fan walked over.

"This must be the work of a powerful being at the same level as us. Its underlying code is very strong. Even a powerful being at the Dao of Sacrifice can only judge its existence from the behavior of others. Without controlling a group member as a medium, it is impossible to truly come into contact with it."

"Don't worry about this." Ye Fan, who most resembled Ye Fan, appeared and teased, "My older brother and I were both added to the group, but you, third brother, didn't react at all. I think people just look down on you..."

As he spoke, he nodded to Sanqing beside him.

There are countless Three Pure Ones in the world, but in reality, there is only one source. Although these individuals have successfully transcended the true realm of the Supreme Being, even if they were a trinity, their combat power would only be equivalent to his when he performed the Dao sacrifice, and they are not worth worrying about at all.

The elder brother addressed them as fellow Daoists out of respect for their true forms, but the newly emerging memory in Ye Fan's mind made him unwilling to give them a friendly look.

"Even if it scares me from the past, it won't do. Otherwise, wouldn't my reputation as Ye Hei be meaningless?"

……

A world that shrouds the heavens, outside Shizhai Village.

"An unexpected situation has arisen this time, so I can no longer take you all on an adventure to Purple Mountain. After you have opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness in this realm, you should return."

Lin Yuan solemnly said, "Wanting to cultivate the methods of this world is fine, but you absolutely cannot leave your own world before reaching a certain level, otherwise your future path will be cut off!"

The endless cycle of the primordial universe in Swallowed Star perfectly explains this point. The world contains a trace of the origin of life it nurtures. If one cannot successfully transcend it, one will die on the day the world is destroyed, even if one hides in someone else's universe.

"I...I understand!" Yan Lingji replied in a muffled voice.

Lin Yuan kept staring at her as he spoke, clearly knowing who was least willing to return to their own world, forcing her to abandon her plan to bluff her way out.

……

Ye Fan stayed in Shizhai for three whole months. Every day, apart from absorbing energy crystals to open up acupoints, he spent the rest of his time exploring Zishan and its surroundings.

With the content in the memory copy as a reference, his preliminary exploration work went very smoothly, and he had already found a mine tunnel that led to Zishan.

In addition, he had uprooted several small, evil sects in the vicinity. Zhang Wuye of Shizhai was grateful for his kindness and gave him the stone armor and stone knife left by his ancestors for self-defense. Therefore, Ye Fan was quite well prepared this time.

The two traveled dozens of miles along the mine road. Before they could get within 500 meters of the demonic bats they encountered, they were burned to ashes by a sudden burst of flames. The evil spirits were also transported to unknown areas by spatial rifts.

After traveling several more miles, a bright world appeared before our eyes. The ancient mine was no longer dark; the misty fog flowed freely, obscuring our view.

This was the first time Lin Yuan had spoken since entering the mine. He faced Ye Fan, who was completely wrapped in stone armor: "The area nearby should be a natural divine map formed by the combination of divine essence and underground evil energy. Once we get past this place, we won't be far from the real Purple Mountain."

"Um."

Sure enough, after traveling for more than a mile, they arrived at the place with the most abundant spiritual energy.

Two bottomless pits lay ahead. One was filled with spiritual energy soaring into the sky, with endless source energy surging upwards; the other was permeated with malevolent energy, making one's heart tremble.

All around them was silence!

Ye Fan's muffled voice came from beneath the stone armor: "There's an unparalleled divine source underground, but we can't be sure if digging it up will trigger the array patterns left by the Great Emperor Wushi. Let's wait until we return before taking action!"

"Alright, you've learned the Source Book, I'll listen to you."

"Alright, you've learned the Source Book, I'll listen to you."

The worst thing you can do is for an outsider to direct an expert. Lin Yuan is just here to cover for you; it's best for Ye Fan to decide how things should be done.

This time, Ye Fan didn't need to wait for the moment of the Lone Yang in the Yin-Yang Divine Diagram. He simply picked up the other person, and a part of the Flame Star Grass transformed into the hardest shield to protect the two of them. He easily walked through thousands of sword beams.

Passing through the magnificent palaces that served as the gateway, the two finally arrived deep within Purple Mountain.

Seeing the inscriptions on the purple stone wall not far away, Lin Yuan also felt an urge to leave his own words.

Do what you want, just treat it as checking off the Beidou historical site. As for others saying he has no public spirit? There are no rules against carving words here!

"Lin Yuan of Virtual Universe Company was here!"

The thought of the bewildered looks on the faces of those who come after him made him inexplicably chuckle. "You can all guess what this Virtual Universe Company is!"

"Brother Lin Yuan, what are you doing..." Ye Fan was speechless, but he couldn't hold back for long and carved a message on it as well.

"Left before the Great Accomplished Holy Body entered Demon Mountain!"

He even deliberately deepened the marks on other people's marks so that the specific time of the inscription could not be seen from the surface, which would definitely scare the people who came later.

The two exchanged a smile and continued their exploration.

Deep within the Purple Mountain, a demonic summoning force kept drawing Ye Fan in one direction, but he was always interrupted by Lin Yuan before he could take two steps forward.

Countless ancient creatures are sealed deep within Purple Mountain, but they are mostly within the divine source, making their life essence extremely difficult to perceive. Lin Yuan led him in the direction where only a faint life aura could be sensed.

If nothing unexpected happens, then it is the Great God King Jiang Taixu!

Beside the purple jade wall at the end of the ancient mine, within a rough rock wall, sat the God-King, emaciated and barely better than a skeleton.

Although he was extremely weak, he dared not call for help as he watched the two people slowly walking towards him. The aura emanating from the man in dark gold armor was much stronger than his own at his peak. He was definitely a legendary saint. It was best not to make contact with him before he could ascertain the other party's intentions and personality.

He wanted to continue hiding, but Lin Yuan didn't want to waste time. After finishing things here, he still needed to go to the Yao Guang Holy Land.

So Lin Yuan spoke directly, "Jiang Taixu, do you need any help?"

"Your Excellency...who...are you? I've never heard of you in the Eastern Wilderness..." Seeing that he had been seen through, the old man in the rock wall no longer concealed himself, but his voice was weak.

"Because I'm not from the Eastern Wilderness at all. I just met someone from the Jiang family before, so I recognized your aura." Lin Yuan pushed Ye Fan in front of him. "Ask him about other things. I came in with him."

The opponent is arguably Ye Fan's biggest cheat code in the mid-stage. If he were to save him, it would be too easy. It would be better for Ye Fan to personally influence this God King.

Ye Fan first took a pool of divine spring water from the Sea of ​​Bitterness and poured it onto the rock wall before asking, "Senior, have you seen someone else who also entered wearing stone armor?"

Although the purpose of entering Zishan was to obtain the Yuantian Book and the Douzi Secret Manual mastered by Jiang Taixu, asking questions directly would definitely arouse suspicion. It was better to ease the atmosphere by asking some unrelated questions first.

"This is... the Divine Spring Water of the Ancient Forbidden Land?" The Eastern Wilderness God King was surprised. In an era where sages did not appear, it would not be surprising if Lin Yuan took out such a treasure, but who would have thought that it would appear in the hands of a Dao Palace cultivator.

"I was lucky enough to escape with my life from the desolate forbidden land." Ye Fan didn't want to say more. Should he tell the other party that he was thrown out by the wild slaves when he went to the fifth mountain to pick fruit?

"Senior hasn't answered my question yet," he asked again.

Jiang Taixu was so weak that he couldn't even get his hands on or use the divine spring water, even though it was right in front of him. Fortunately, Lin Yuan, who had a higher cultivation level, used his divine power to open a crack in the rock wall and channel all the divine spring water into the location of Jiang Taixu's withered bones. This allowed the Eastern Wilderness God King to recover some of his strength.

Although the other person's voice was still weak, it had a hint of life in it compared to before: "A thousand years ago, one came here, and in the end, he died... deep in the Demon Mountain."

"You two have shown me kindness, allowing me to linger a few more days on Demon Mountain. I possess one of the Nine Secrets; I wonder if you two would be interested in learning it?"

Jiang Taixu sighed, "The Great Emperor's methods are heaven-defying, making this place a world of its own. Once you enter, it's almost impossible to leave. But you will always last longer than me. In any case, one of the Nine Secrets cannot be lost in my hands..."

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes. One of their most important purposes in coming here was to obtain the Nine Secrets.

Ye Fan clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I have only been cultivating for four years, but due to the curse of the Holy Body, I dared not cultivate any further after reaching the peak of the Dao Palace. In order to find the Origin Heavenly Book and the method of breakthrough, I risked asking you to come to Purple Mountain with me."

"This junior hereby promises that if the method passed down by you, senior, can help me break the curse on my sacred body at the Four Extremes Realm, I will do everything in my power to help the God King escape!"

"You are the Ancient Sacred Body?" Jiang Taixu was surprised again.

In this day and age, how could anyone be willing to cultivate a cursed holy body? And to allow it to cultivate to the peak of the Dao Palace in just three years—how many resources must have been invested?

With deep admiration, the shadow of the stone wall faced Lin Yuan's direction: "Brother Dao, you truly deserve to be called a legendary sage. Such a masterpiece is something that even my Jiang family has not seen in a long time."

"Let's pass on the teachings first!" Lin Yuan didn't explain further; since it concerned the Nine Secrets, it was best to secure the information first.

"good!"

A withered figure emerged from the rock face, its bones clearly visible. Its long hair was longer than its body, trailing behind its emaciated frame. It struck a strange pose before falling backward...
