Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

Inside the palace, Baiyuan and Baitianning sat down to talk about their experiences over the past three years.

After listening to his nephew's story, Bai Tianning felt gratified.

"You fought in the Final Battle Space for two days, reaching nine stars, sweeping through hundreds of elites in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, rescuing the Xuanming Domain Lord, and becoming his brother... In just three short years, you've had quite an eventful life."

Baiyuan smiled and said, "Second Uncle, these are really nothing."

"Oh?" Bai Tianning raised an eyebrow. "Then tell me, what is the most important thing?"

Baiyuan didn't say anything, but simply handed the storage container that had been prepared to his second uncle.

Bai Tianning casually took it and examined it with his mental power.

The next moment, he practically jumped up from his seat.

"Bloodline Evolution Agent! Tier 4 Force Weapon! D9-class Railgun! D9-class Spaceship! Azure Wave Fruit..."

Regardless of the value of the storage container itself, every treasure contained within is either priceless or priceless.

Things like bloodline evolution agents aren't expensive in themselves, but in reality, they're impossible to buy even if you have the money.

It can only be obtained through the channels of Virtual Universe Company; it won't even appear at auctions.

All of these treasures combined are worth at least 100 billion universe coins!

His life savings would not even reach that amount.

An ordinary galaxy typically costs no more than 200 billion cosmic coins.

These treasures are worth almost half a galaxy!

"These treasures are too valuable. You should keep them for yourself," Bai Tianning said, shaking his head in refusal.

"Second Uncle, there's no need for formalities between us," Baiyuan said calmly.

"Brother Xuanming gave me almost all of his treasures. I still have quite a few good things, like the Bloodline Evolution Agent, which I've already used up."

Seeing Bai Yuan's resolute attitude, Bai Tianning knew he couldn't refuse, so he stopped insisting.

"Good lad! I'll announce my seclusion soon. With these treasures you sent, plus my preparations over the years, I refuse to believe I can't break through to the Domain Lord level!"

At this moment, Bai Tianning's eyes were full of high spirits.

"Then I congratulate you in advance, Second Uncle," Baiyuan said with a smile, then asked, "By the way, Second Uncle, I'd like to choose a few suitable secret techniques for the four of us who came with me. Where should we look for them?"

"That's easy. I'll ask the general. With these treasures you've given me, I can more than exchange them for the right to cultivate several secret techniques. However, they can only cultivate them themselves and cannot pass them on to others."

"That's natural."

Bai Tianning immediately contacted the general.

As expected, the general readily agreed, allowing the five people, including Baiyuan, to each go to the treasure vault and choose a domain lord-level secret technique.

Upon hearing the news, Long Qi and the others were immediately filled with excitement.

Comprehending advanced secret techniques can not only enhance one's strength, but also provide invaluable guidance for their future cultivation path.

At the same time, the initial conflict between the four people gradually dissolved without them realizing it.

Being able to follow a master like Baiyuan is a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune.

Who would treat slaves like this? They would probably want to squeeze every last bit of value out of them.

The five entered the treasure vault and each headed towards the area where the secret techniques were displayed.

Baiyuan's gaze swept quickly across the dazzling array of books, and he finally chose a secret technique called "Seven Waves" without hesitation.

This secret technique is quite unique, belonging to a rare type of shield defense skill.

Its essence lies in using softness to overcome hardness, borrowing force to deflect force, and gradually dissolving the incoming impact through superimposed energy waves.

On the other hand, Bai Tianning also officially announced her seclusion.

After returning to the accommodations arranged by his second uncle, Baiyuan sat quietly in contemplation and began to sort out the secret techniques he had mastered.

First is the "Thirty-Threefold Sharp Metal Slash". He only intends to use this secret technique as a reference in the future, but the essence of the movement techniques contained in it can still be used.

Secondly, there is the "Immortal Vajra Body," which concerns the foundational tempering and naturally requires continuous practice.

Next is the "Black Heart Soul Imprint," which, although a secret technique for enslaving souls, can neither attack nor defend. Therefore, he still needs to cultivate another soul technique.

Fortunately, among the Poison Nightmare's storage items was a soul secret technique called "Soul-Breaking Thorn," which was also a Domain Lord-level secret technique, but he had never had time to cultivate it.

Next up is the "Seven Wave Techniques" I just chose. This technique specializes in defense, so naturally, you have to put your heart and soul into practicing it.

In addition, Baiyuan also plans to select another suitable telekinetic weapon.

Finally, there are the secret techniques he created himself.

Although the sword technique is currently in its early stages and its power is sufficient, the accompanying movement techniques and guiding skills are not yet perfected.

Once these two techniques are created, the power of the sword technique will surely reach a new level.

"It seems there's quite a lot to learn next. No wonder those experts don't recommend specializing in two paths at the same time," Baiyuan sighed softly.

If it weren't for the system, Baiyuan wouldn't have considered cultivating both martial arts and mental cultivation paths simultaneously, as it would have been far too energy-consuming.

In the days that followed, he went into complete seclusion.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Baiyuan realized that since breaking through to the Hengxing level, his advancement speed had decreased by more than three times.

Now, a year later, he is still at the second level of the Hengxing realm, just a little bit away from the third level.

In the realm of cultivation, there is almost a hurdle every three levels.

Progress will only slow down further when you reach the fourth and seventh stages.

"How about buying a nutrient capsule?"

This thought suddenly flashed through Baiyuan's mind.

Nutritional capsules are indeed a good thing. As long as you have enough money, you can completely elevate an ordinary person to the level of a cosmic being.

Even for those at the Domain Lord level, as long as their domain expertise meets the standard and they successfully break through to the first level of Domain Lord, they can still directly reach the ninth level of Domain Lord by using the nutrient capsule.

For true geniuses, the greatest significance of the nutrient capsule is that it saves them the long process of accumulating genetic energy, allowing them to devote all their energy to comprehending the laws and cultivating secret techniques.

"Brother Yuan, the cloud sea you brought is really amazing. Even Uncle Binka was defeated by him."

Mo Jin suddenly jogged over; she was always the first to arrive whenever Baiyuan left the pass.

As for Yunhai, he has swept aside almost all the elite team members in the army over the past year.

Although these team members can be considered strong among the ninth-level Hengxing, the gap between them and a genius of Yunhai's caliber is still huge.

Of course, Yunhai always suppressed his strength; his real purpose was to hone his combat skills in actual combat.

These soldiers may be mediocre in other aspects, but they are by no means lacking in combat skills.

"Yes, the reason he suppressed his cultivation and delayed breaking through to the universe level was to participate in the genius battle sixteen years later. If he didn't even have this much strength, then there was no point in competing for any ranking."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system notification sounded:

[Task issued: Participate in the Genius Battle, win first place, reward 100 Enlightenment Points]

"How...how much?"

Baiyuan was stunned on the spot.

Apart from the initial clan competition, subsequent mission rewards only consist of 1 Enlightenment Point.

Is there some kind of error in the system this time? It's awarding 100 Enlightenment Points!

That being said, those 100 enlightenment points are not so easy to obtain.
