Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

Remember this name: . Remember this domain name: . Good books won't lead you astray.

Inside the magnificent palace, the three sat at separate tables.

Without any pleasantries, Yan Xingzhu got straight to the point: "My purpose in coming here is to ask Brother Yuan for help in killing Blood Demon Heaven. After the deed is done, I am willing to give you a secret technique."

"What kind of secret technique?" Baiyuan asked.

"This is the 'Heavenly Fire Divine Kingdom' that I just unleashed. You've personally experienced its power. What are your thoughts?"

Bai Yuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This secret technique is indeed extraordinary, but I am not a fire-attribute cultivator, so its use to me is limited."

In terms of the level of secret techniques alone, there are many secret techniques in the Blade Clan's heritage that are stronger than this one, so this secret technique is not attractive to him.

Seeing that Baiyuan remained unmoved, Yan Xingzhu frowned slightly, a look of helplessness on his face:

"I've been trapped in the Sword Domain for many years, and my treasures have long been exhausted. I really don't have anything that's attractive enough for you right now. However..."

He paused slightly, then flipped his hand and took out a piece of gold paper.

The paper was neither gold nor silk; its edges shimmered with a faint light, and faint traces of ink were visible on its surface, resembling neither words nor pictures.

"I obtained this item by chance in my early years. After studying it for many years, I discovered that it seems to contain the insights of a peerless expert on 'life and death.' It has played an indispensable role in my ability to reach my current level."

"But to be honest," Lord Yan Xing continued, "over all these years, apart from me, only my disciples have grasped the basics of it. Even that kid Wu Zhanren hasn't been able to understand it at all."

Wu Zhanren rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile, "The records here are too abstract. It's impossible to understand what they're saying. Only a monster like you could glean anything from them."

Upon hearing this, Baiyuan's expression shifted slightly.

From the moment he first saw that piece of gold paper, he sensed an indescribable mystery within it.

According to the Flame Star Lord, this item has limited direct effect on improving strength; its true value lies in tempering one's state of mind.

The Star Lord of Flame nodded, his tone heavy:

"In terms of cultivation level, I am still at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, but in terms of mental state, I am confident that I am no less than an ordinary domain lord-level expert. That is why even the master of this sword domain once appeared in person, intending to subdue me, but I refused."

Bai Yuan was secretly alarmed.

Over the years, his mental cultivation has almost stagnated, and now it seems that he is probably even inferior to Lord Yan.

"If what you say is true, then I will agree to this matter," Baiyuan said slowly.

An improved state of mind greatly benefits subsequent spiritual practice.

It may not directly help in understanding the fundamental laws, but it can play an immeasurable role in the path of cultivation, especially when facing bottlenecks.

Just like "Hong", his mastery of state of mind is simply awe-inspiring.

At the cosmic level, his willpower was close to that of a cosmic venerable, and he broke through twenty layers of the Illusionary Sea before failing on the twenty-first layer.

This action even alarmed the founder of the Giant Axe, who immediately accepted him as a disciple.

Baiyuan had no delusions of reaching that level in one step.

But if one's state of mind can be further improved, that would be something one could never have desired.

After the two made their agreement, Lord Yan couldn't help but show a look of joy.

Bai Yuan then voiced his doubts: "Why must you find me? If you really want to kill Xue Motian, you can find other powerful figures to help you. If one isn't enough, just find a few more."

Lord Yan gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying, "You're thinking too simply. What kind of place is this? Who are these people being imprisoned? Asking them for help? You'd be lucky if they didn't plot against me behind my back."

Clearly, Lord Yan Xing doesn't trust anyone else here.

After all, they are all death row inmates, and their character is not guaranteed at all. No one can guarantee that they won't turn against them at the last minute.

Even among Yan Xingzhu's own subordinates, very few are truly loyal to him.

Blood Demon Heaven was different; he developed a sinister method called "Blood Poison" and used it to control many powerful individuals.

Otherwise, seeing him on the verge of death, those people would have been merciful if they hadn't even stepped forward to finish him off, let alone helped him.

Wu Zhanren is trustworthy, but once Yan Xingzhu kills Xue Motian, he will definitely leave the Sword Domain.

If Wu Zhanren is left alone at that time, he will inevitably be targeted by other powerful individuals.

Bai Yuan, on the other hand, was completely different; he was strong enough to protect himself.

Besides, he has only been here a short time and has a clean background, so there is no need to worry about him getting involved.

Most importantly, the two are only temporarily cooperating, so even if Bai Yuan encounters some misfortune after Yan Xingzhu leaves, he doesn't need to worry about it.

Without delay, Lord Yan Xing and Bai Yuan immediately set off for the Blood Demon Garden.

Flames burned in Yan Xingzhu's eyes, and the hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for many years surged up.

"Blood Demon Heaven... today is your death day! The revenge for killing my disciple must be avenged!"

He always valued his disciple highly, even to the point of spoiling him.

The disciple did not disappoint him. Not only was he exceptionally perceptive, but he also, like him, gleaned a glimpse of the essence from the "Life and Death Diagram".

Lord Yan had originally planned that once his disciple's strength reached the first-class combat level, he would kill ten thousand people, leave the Sword Domain first, and hand over this foundation to his disciple to manage.

When I am stronger in the future, I will find a way to get my disciples out as well.

Unfortunately, all his plans were shattered on the day Blood Demon Heaven ambushed his disciple.

-

Blood Demon Garden.

On this day, two figures pierced through the outer layers of steel fortresses and fearlessly stormed into the depths of the Blood Demon Garden.

Wherever it passed, the array patterns shattered, and the guards were sent flying backward; no one could stop it for even a moment.

Flame Lord was surrounded by flames, his aura locked deep within, heading straight for the location of Blood Demon Heaven.

Bai Yuan paused, standing with his sword drawn before the main road leading to the core area, his gaze calmly sweeping over the figures surging from all sides.

"Gentlemen, those who don't want to die, stop here."

The arriving demons were all stunned upon hearing this, exchanging bewildered glances, almost thinking they had misheard.

Their tone made it sound as if they were the intruders who had trespassed on someone else's territory.

"Kill him!"

"Get the hell out of my way!"

With a deafening roar, thousands of demons charged towards Baiyuan.

Their eyes were filled with bloodlust and madness, not because they were particularly loyal, but because each of them had been infected with "blood poison."

Once Blood Demon Heaven dies, the blood poison will take effect, causing a feeling of being devoured by thousands of ants, making life worse than death.

If it occurs three times in a row, death is almost certain.

Therefore, even if it's just to survive, they absolutely cannot allow the Flame Star Lord to get close to the Blood Demon Heaven.

"Just as I thought."

Baiyuan shook his head slightly, as if he had expected it.

The next instant, a dark and ancient greatsword appeared out of thin air, blocking his way.

The sword trembled slightly, and suddenly split into forty-eight sharp blades, shooting out in all directions.

At the same time, the dual domains of gold and water were launched with great fanfare.

Golden light cleaved through space, and a deep blue aura flowed and enveloped the surging demon.

Wherever the sword flashed, blood splattered, and severed limbs and heads flew everywhere!

Bai Yuan remained motionless, yet he seemed like a god of death descending upon the world, easily reaping the lives that surged forth within his domain.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great; it was an insurmountable gap that could not be bridged by numbers alone.

Under the absolute suppression of the domain, only those who have mastered three or more domains or possess special life-saving methods can barely protect themselves.

As for the rest, they were like weeds under the sword.
