Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

Inside an E9-class spaceship in the dark universe.

Bai Luoyan's face was gloomy. He had never expected that Bai Yuan would be so astute and see through his trap.

Just as Bai Tianning and his nephew had predicted, he did indeed intend to kill Bai Yuan.

In another cabin, Bai Xingyun sat silently, recalling the events of the past, and gradually noticed the unusual situation.

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have agreed to become your apprentice so quickly."

"Oh, how bitter, how bitter."

What's done is done, and now he can only take it one step at a time.

The Blade Temple is a place of equal renown to the Holy Temple.

The temple is inscribed with the names of countless powerful members of the Blade Clan throughout history, and is a symbol of honor.

The temple, on the other hand, is the gathering place of the true powerhouses of the Blade Clan. All meetings, large and small, are held here. Without the strength of a Domain Lord, one is not even qualified to step inside.

At this moment, Bai Yuan was standing outside the temple gate, with Bai Tianning beside him still giving him instructions:

"Once inside, observe more and speak less. We can't afford to offend anyone there, so be extremely cautious."

Bai Tianning is only at the ninth level of the Universe level, and is not qualified to enter at all.

The reason why Baiyuan was summoned by the higher-ups is unclear, but the fact that the meeting was held at the temple shows how important it was.

"I understand, Second Uncle, you go back first, I'm going in."

After saying that, Baiyuan walked into the temple.

When he entered the temple gates, the scene before him was truly astonishing.

There were no magnificent buildings inside, only a vast and desolate wilderness, and the air was filled with a palpable aura of blades that stung the skin.

"A small world!"

Baiyuan was shocked.

Unexpectedly, the legendary temple was just an empty shell on the outside, but inside it was actually a vast little world.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

The heavy footsteps approached from afar, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

Baiyuan looked in the direction of the sound and his heart skipped a beat.

Wow! It's huge!

It was a giant nearly sixty meters tall, with an appearance similar to that of ordinary Blade Clan members, the only difference being a golden mark between his eyebrows.

Both the Blade Race and Earthlings belong to the human race.

Under normal circumstances, a human being who is seven or eight meters tall is considered very large.

The person in front of them had clearly cultivated some special secret technique, strengthening his body to the extreme.

In just a few breaths, the other party had arrived in front of Baiyuan, looking down at him with lowered eyes.

After looking him over, he slowly said, "You're a bit thin, but your willpower is good. You're qualified and worthy to inherit my 'Thirty-Threefold Sharp Metal Slash'."

These words also revealed the identity of the visitor: the creator of this secret technique, Bai Kuangren.

The next moment, two books gleaming with golden light fell from the sky, and Baiyuan quickly reached out to catch them.

One of these two books is the complete version of "The Thirty-Threefold Sharpness of Gold" and the other is "The Immortal Vajra Body".

"Alright, here's your stuff, you can leave now."

Before Baiyuan could speak, he suddenly appeared at the gate, leaving him no chance to resist.

Bai Tianning, who had just walked a short distance, sensed the presence and immediately turned around.

Upon seeing Baiyuan emerge, they were greatly surprised.

"Why did you come out?"

"I don't know either." Bai Yuan looked helpless. "As soon as I went in, Senior Bai Kuangren appeared in front of me, glanced at me, threw down two books, and sent me out."

From beginning to end, he didn't utter a single word or take a single step.

"Shh! We'll talk about it when we get back!"

Bai Tianning quickly lowered his voice and looked around warily.

-

Deep within the temple, in the heart of a small world.

The madman had returned to his normal height of over two meters and walked into a house constructed of plant life.

There was already someone waiting inside, smiling at him.

"Old Kuang, it seems you think highly of that kid. Not only did you pass on your secret techniques, but you even gave him the immortal-level secret technique, the Immortal Vajra Body."

"Hmph, it's all because the descendants are too disappointing." Bai Kuangren sneered. "Those who can't even reach ten times the power amplitude are worthy of being called geniuses? Only this kid is barely worth a look."

Upon hearing this, the clan chief smiled wryly and said, "Don't compare us to you. An apprentice-level cultivator's power amplification is twelve times greater; you're simply a monster!"

Bai Kuangren said in a low voice, "How dare you say that? You and Bai Luoyan are both quite talented, but unfortunately one of you is burdened by the position of clan leader, and the other is still obsessed with this position."

"If you can let go of these things and travel more in the universe, you will find that amplifying your power by ten times is not difficult at all."

Indeed, a force of ten times the amplitude is not uncommon in the vast universe.

For example, on the planet Meteorite back then, the average level of its ninth-level disciples was such that their power amplitude could reach ten times.

Of course, at that time, there were more than ten immortal-level powerhouses on Meteorite Star, including some who were marquis-level, so the standards for selecting disciples were naturally extremely high.

In other words, even with Baiyuan's current performance, compared to those powerful immortal forces, he would only barely reach the threshold.

The clan leader's expression changed slightly. Indeed, after he inherited the position of clan leader, his desire to become stronger gradually became less pure.

But it's easier said than done.

Once he truly sits in a position second only to the emperor, holding power that influences the entire clan, relinquishing it is no longer something that can be done simply by talking.

Ultimately, they couldn't bear to give up this power.

Otherwise, with his talent, he should at least have broken through to the fourth level of the Realm Lord, instead of remaining stagnant at the second level.

Upon seeing this, Bai Kuangren realized that persuasion was futile.

"Never mind." He sighed softly.

"Sometimes I still think of how you were when you were young. Back then, even if you teamed up, you couldn't beat me, but the word 'defeat' never existed in your eyes. You always aimed to surpass me and kept moving forward."

The clan chief lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, back then, we were truly fearless. Now that we're older, we've lost that ambition."

While the two were talking, Baiyuan was also busy on the other side.

In his own courtyard, Baiyuan sat cross-legged in meditation, his mind immersed in spiritual practice.

After the clan competition ended, he vaguely felt that his comprehension had improved slightly, and his perception and understanding of artistic conception were indeed clearer than before.

Even so, comprehending the twelfth level of the "Thirty-Threefold Sharpness Technique" is still incredibly difficult.

After all, in the history of the Blade Clan, no one has ever mastered all twelve styles at the apprentice level. Most clansmen, even those with outstanding talent, need to train hard at the planetary level for many years to reach that level.

Therefore, Baiyuan did not rush to practice swordsmanship, but instead focused his energy on the guiding technique "Hurricane Gold" and the movement technique "Golden Flow".

According to the complete lineage passed down by Bai Kuangren, these three were originally one.

"Hurricane Gold" draws upon the flow of the Force, forging the foundation of sharp gold; "Gilded Gold" moves with the body, like gold flowing through a shuttle, ever-changing and unpredictable.

Ultimately, only by combining it with swordsmanship can the power of "Sharp Metal" be brought to its fullest potential.

As for the enlightenment points granted by the system, Baiyuan thought it over again and decided to keep them for the time being.

The apprentice level is too low; it would be a waste to use this precious opportunity for enlightenment at this time.

He plans to wait until he breaks through to the planetary level and leaps through the level of life before using the Enlightenment Point.
