Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

The Heavenly Fiend Palace, the former residence of the Heavenly Fiend Realm Lord.

Three figures were gathered in the hall, one of whom was Tian Mu, who looked anxious.

"The barrier we set up has been breached; Xuanming has likely escaped!"

His voice betrayed his barely concealed panic.

Another figure, whose appearance was identical to that of the Lord of Xuanming Domain, was actually Krolu in disguise.

He forced himself to remain calm and said in a deep voice, "What's the panic? Even if he really comes back, the three of us working together have nothing to fear from him."

Despite this, he had absolutely no confidence.

The pressure that Xuanming brought them was simply too great.

Back then, when he comprehended the domain at the planetary level, he was directly accepted as a personal disciple by the Lord of the Heavenly Fiend Realm.

At the Eternal Star level, he was able to kill opponents of the Universe level. At the Universe level, he took the initiative to enter the Giant Axe Arena, won a thousand consecutive matches, and earned the title of "Giant Axe Warrior".

He rose to the rank of Domain Lord and even passed the assessment of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance to obtain the title of Two-Star Mercenary.

Before leaving, the Lord of the Heavenly Fiend Realm entrusted the entire Heavenly Fiend Star to him.

Xuanming suppressed all dissenting voices with absolute power, established rules, and cooperated with the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, attracting countless powerful individuals to settle there.

The Heavenly Fiend Star grew increasingly powerful under his control.

From any perspective, Xuanming has achieved the ultimate.

Krolus was unconvinced and fought Xuanming head-on.

At that time, he was a ninth-level Domain Lord, while Xuanming was only an eighth-level Domain Lord. He thought he could at least remain undefeated, but the real outcome was a crushing defeat.

As for Tian Mu, he is currently only at the fifth level of the Domain Lord and has never been regarded as a threat by Xuan Ming.

The last figure was shrouded in black mist, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

At that moment, a low voice came from within the fog:

"He was able to escape from the formation I set up, either because he has broken through to the realm lord level, or because someone outside helped him break the formation."

"What's the use of saying all this now? Do you have any other ways to deal with him?" Tianmu asked anxiously.

Although they harbored resentment towards Xuanming back then, they could only endure it due to the vast difference in strength.

Until the mysterious figure in the black mist quietly appeared and contacted the two to devise a plan, the two sides hit it off and finally used the formation to seal Xuanming, but that was all they could do.

Xuanming is too powerful.

Even with the three of them working together, they were unable to kill him back then. They could only settle for trapping him at the foot of Redstone Mountain.

Now, the predicament has been broken, and the Xuanming of yesteryear is finally about to return.

"Don't worry, even if he escapes now, he's doomed!"

The man in the black mist spoke with a strong sense of confidence.

Tianmu and Krolu remained silent upon hearing this.

They even thought this person had gone mad. Facing Xuanming at his peak, without the help of an array, even if the three of them joined forces, they would only be unilaterally crushed.

-

In the world of Redstone Mountain, a small team participating in the trainee mercenary assessment spotted the thousand-strong army from afar and immediately fled at full speed without looking back, not daring to approach at all.

"Big brother, do we really have to rush back like this?"

Baiyuan looked at Xuanming with some confusion.

At this moment, the domain lord was leading him and his entire army, proceeding unhurriedly toward the exit, his expression calm and showing no sign of urgency.

"No rush, it's good to let them do more preparation."

Xuanming smiled and then said, "As for the manager you mentioned, if I'm not mistaken, he should be a member of the Puyuan clan, and among the Puyuan clan members I know, there is only one like him."

"So, you two are old acquaintances?"

Bai Yuan was quite surprised.

One is a domain lord-level powerhouse, while the other is merely a universe-level manager; the difference in their status is considerable.

A hint of nostalgia flashed in Xuanming's eyes as he smiled and said, "His name is Pubang. When we were young, we were like brothers. But later, my cultivation level improved too quickly, and our paths gradually diverged, so we lost touch. However, he is still my brother."

"I just didn't expect that guy to come to Tian Sha Star. I guess it's because I haven't sent him a message in the virtual universe for too long, and he guessed what happened to me."

When he was trapped, his personal intelligent computer was already damaged, making it impossible for him to call for help through the virtual universe; otherwise, he wouldn't have been sealed away until now.

Time slowly passed as we moved forward.

The ten red stones that Baiyuan needed were collected casually along the way.

After all, with thousands of people following behind him, digging for redstone was just a piece of cake.

Finally arriving at the exit, after everyone left the Redstone Mountain world, Baiyuan immediately found the staff of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance stationed there and handed over ten redstones.

Having completed the assessment, Baiyuan officially became a trainee mercenary of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

But what truly caused the staff member's expression to change drastically was the figure beside Baiyuan.

"Lord Xuanming... what are you doing here?"

"Having nothing to do, I'm just taking a stroll around." Xuanming's tone was relaxed, as if it were just an ordinary outing.

"These people can stay with you for now; I'll come and pick them up myself later."

He clearly didn't intend to bring a large force along, after all, this was a battle between domain lords.

This area is under the jurisdiction of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Unless someone is tired of living, no one would dare to cause trouble here.

"Brother, be very careful. They may already know you've escaped and might be setting a trap for you," Baiyuan hurriedly warned.

Xuanming shook his head: "I understand, but Tianmu and Krolu are ultimately the closest people to Master, so I must go."

How could he not know all this? He knew better than anyone how capable Tianmu and Krolu were.

It would be impossible for the two of them alone to set up such a sealing formation.

There must be a hidden hand behind this.

Even knowing that what lay ahead might be a dead end, he had no choice but to step into it.

Because that human and that demon were the teacher's deepest concerns, he couldn't stand idly by.

Bai Yuan sighed inwardly, thinking that Xuan Ming was indeed a person of great loyalty and righteousness. Even after being sealed for ten thousand years, he still thought of repaying evil with kindness.

However, in such a universe, those who are too sentimental often don't go far.

Xuanming's figure flickered and he instantly disappeared from the spot.

All Baiyuan can do now is to pray silently for him in her heart.

Just then, a faint fluctuation came from Baiyuan's chest.

He reached out and pulled out an unfamiliar storage pendant, which was clearly not his own.

"This is... Brother Xuanming's storage treasure!"

A sweep of his mind revealed a dazzling array of treasures, with just a few fourth-tier Origin Force and Mind Force weapons alone possessing astonishing value.

Furthermore, a D9-class spaceship was quietly parked there, and other treasures of various kinds were piled up like mountains, with a wide variety of types.

Bai Yuan roughly estimates that if all these treasures were converted into cash, their value would be at least 200 billion cosmic coins!

Xuanming left him almost all of his wealth.

Logically speaking, since I rescued Xuanming from the seal, it wouldn't be too much for the other party to give me any reward.

However, Bai Yuan sincerely admired Xuanming's character and demeanor.

If I were offered so many treasures in person, I would definitely refuse to accept them.

Perhaps Xuanming saw through this, which is why he didn't mention it directly, but left all his wealth in Xuanming's hands before leaving.
