Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

Baiyuan continued:

"I still need to fight to the death with others. Taking on missions from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is too time-consuming. Second Uncle, do you have any death row inmates or similar targets for real combat?"

"I don't have any here." Bai Tianning pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

"However, the general built a prison specifically to hold death row inmates sent from all over the country. As long as they perform well enough and are willing to join the Seventh Legion, they can be spared the death penalty."

"Great! This is exactly the kind of place I need!"

Upon hearing this, Baiyuan's eyes immediately lit up with a sharp light.

Most of the contestants in the Genius Battle are geniuses who are several hundred years old.

Take Yunhai, for example; it is now over 700 years old.

He was already capable of breaking through to the universe level when he had comprehended the fifth level of the domain.

However, he always suppressed his realm, remaining at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, and pushed his domain to the sixth level.

However, even with such strength, the hope of breaking into the top 1,000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom remains slim.

"Hehe, interesting lad. Others avoid my 'Sword Domain' like the plague, but you want to take the initiative to go in and have a seat."

No sooner had they finished speaking than a red-haired man in a red robe appeared before them.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Bai Tianning immediately showed surprise and quickly clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Your subordinate greets General Red Sword!"

Upon hearing this, Baiyuan immediately recognized the other party's identity and bowed, saying:

"This junior pays respects to Senior Chi Jian."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the Crimson Sword Realm Lord manipulated the power of the world to lift the two of them up.

He was not a member of the Blade Clan, yet he rose to the rank of general, which speaks volumes about his strength and methods.

"Alright, I came here to celebrate with you, but I didn't see you at the banquet when I got here, so I came looking for you all the way here."

As the Crimson Sword Realm Lord spoke, his gaze turned to Bai Yuan.

His presence to celebrate Ning's 100th day was only part of the reason; the real focus was on Baiyuan and Yunhai.

He had long heard of Baiyuan's talent, so there was no need to say more.

But the sea of ​​clouds truly delighted him.

He naturally wanted to see such a genius who had comprehended the sixth level of the Domain at the Hengxing level.

If possible, such a promising talent should definitely be brought under my wing.

"I won't beat around the bush. Can you give me the Cloud Sea? I'm willing to offer 100 billion cosmic coins. You can name any other conditions you want," the Crimson Sword Realm Master said directly to Bai Yuan.

Both Baiyuan and Baitianning were startled upon hearing this.

One hundred billion universe coins is no small sum.

It should be noted that a ninth-order slave in the universe costs no more than 10 billion, while a cheaper one can be bought for 3 billion.

This single move is equivalent to more than thirty ninth-order slaves of the universe!

With such strength, they could practically do whatever they wanted in a rudimentary civilized empire.

Bai Yuan hesitated. Yun Hai had exceptional talent and might even break through to the realm master level in the future.

But since the Crimson Sword Realm Lord had spoken personally and was so sincere, he found it difficult to refuse directly.

"To be honest, I have already implanted a biochip in Yunhai's body..."

"I know, that's why I came to discuss it with you."

"No, what I mean is that even if I implanted the chip, Yunhai's own wishes should still be respected."

"Yes, if he's willing, the conditions I just mentioned still stand."

Both sides knew that Yunhai was almost certainly not going to refuse.

Baiyuan had also figured it out: Yunhai's talent was indeed good, but if he didn't truly want to follow, there was no point in forcing him to stay.

Once he joins the Virtual Universe Company, he will definitely have no shortage of followers who are geniuses of Yun Hai's caliber.

In addition, once Mo Yun Teng grows stronger, he will be far more powerful than Yun Hai and absolutely loyal to him.

After Yunhai was summoned, the Crimson Sword Realm Master explained his intentions to him.

Yunhai readily agreed, but he also made a condition: he wanted to take Yunluo with him when he left.

The Crimson Sword Realm Master looked at Bai Yuan, and seeing Bai Yuan nod slightly, he readily agreed.

"One hundred billion cosmic coins have been transferred to your account. If you have any other conditions, please feel free to ask."

The Crimson Sword Realm Lord was in a great mood.

If Yunhai breaks through to the Realm Lord level in the future, it will be like having a Realm Lord-level helper, which is something that cannot be obtained by a mere 100 billion universe coins.

Upon hearing this, Baiyuan immediately said:

"I need to borrow your nutrient tank and enter the Sword Domain to cultivate."

"No problem. Are you planning to break through directly to the ninth level of the Universe?" the Crimson Sword Realm Lord asked.

"No, just upgrade it to the ninth level of the Hengxing realm."

The Crimson Sword Realm Master nodded.

For him, supplying nutrient solution to break through to the ninth level of the Hengxing realm was utterly insignificant.

As for the Sword Domain, it houses death row inmates sent from various places, so it's perfectly fine to let Baiyuan go there to cultivate.

"I promise you, but I must warn you that the level-element prisoners in the Sword Domain are far stronger than those outside. Those who survive are all desperate criminals. I have also set up restrictions to prevent them from breaking through to the cosmic level."

"As far as I know, a third of the prisoners have long met the conditions to break through to the cosmic level. They have stayed at the star level for hundreds or even thousands of years, and their strength should not be underestimated."

Bai Yuan was not surprised at all by this.

Life and death are the moments that truly unleash a person's potential.

Even if their talent is not as dazzling as those geniuses, those who survive one deadly battle after another must be extraordinary in strength.

Even if their talent is not as dazzling as those geniuses, those who survive one deadly battle after another must be extraordinary in strength.

Moreover, due to the restrictions, they have been trapped at the Hengxing level, and their accumulation and refinement will only make their combat power even more terrifying.

However, the stronger the enemy, the more excited Baiyuan became.

Bai Tianning, standing to the side, looked quite worried.

"Xiao Yuan, are you really planning to go there to cultivate? With your talent, you don't need to push yourself so hard."

The Crimson Sword Realm Master nodded slightly. There were still more than ten years before the start of the Cosmic Genius Battle. Time was indeed tight, but with the talent that Bai Yuan had shown, he believed that Bai Yuan would definitely be able to make further progress and that it was still possible for him to break into the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom.

Upon hearing this, Baiyuan gave a wry smile; he certainly didn't have such an outrageous talent.

His current level of mastery is largely due to the existence of the Enlightenment System, but unfortunately, he only has a few more opportunities left to achieve enlightenment. He can only seize every chance to improve himself.

As for how far things will ultimately go, he has no idea.

But at least he did his best.

"Second Uncle, then I will go with General Chi Jian. Please take care of Mo Yun Teng."

"Don't worry, I'll raise it to be strong and healthy!"

After entrusting the Moyun Vine to his second uncle, Baiyuan set off with General Chijian, accompanied by Yunhai and Yunluo.

At this point, the biochips in their bodies had been removed, and they were completely free.

Yunluo's eyes still held a trace of hatred as she whispered to Yunhai, "Brother, should we find an opportunity to...?"

"That's enough," Yunhai interrupted him calmly.

"We lost to him because we were not strong enough. There's nothing to resent. Even if you and I were his servants, have you ever seen him truly oppress us in the slightest?"

Looking at her elder brother, who seemed like a completely different person, Yunluo couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why are you speaking up for him instead?"

"I'm not speaking up for him," Yunhai gently shook his head, "but it was only after following him that I realized how insignificant I was before. Luckily, it was him I met; if we had encountered those tyrannical and cruel people, we would have been dead long ago."

To say I feel particularly grateful to Baiyuan wouldn't be an exaggeration.

But Yunhai knew in his heart that without Baiyuan, he would only remain stagnant and would probably not achieve anything even if he participated in the Genius Battle.

At least now, he is far superior to his former self in terms of combat skills, secret techniques, and domain application.
