Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

This isn't a no-go, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Swallowing the Stars: Starting with an Enlightenment System":

The madman froze, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.

Without hesitation, his figure suddenly dissipated like invisible water, and in the next moment he appeared on the other side several feet away.

"Impossible! How could you possibly dodge it!"

Baiyuan's figure gradually solidified at the edge of the smoke and dust.

"Originally, I couldn't do it, but your move gave me an idea. It turns out that the Water Domain can also be used for rapid advances. I combined my movement technique with the power of the domain, and the effect was surprisingly good."

With the breakthrough in his state of mind and the comprehension of that trace of the fundamental law of gold, his perspective on the world and all things has become completely different.

He saw through the madman's use of the water domain at a glance and immediately incorporated it into his own movement technique.

"What a joke! I've painstakingly studied this technique for three thousand years, and you actually saw through the key to it at a glance!" The madman's eyes widened, his voice filled with disbelief.

Bai Yuan smiled slightly: "How should I explain it... In the past, I really couldn't do it, but recently my understanding seems to have taken a big step forward."

As his mindset continued to evolve, his understanding also quietly transformed.

At first, his comprehension was only slightly above average.

Later, through countless life-and-death battles and the trials of life, coupled with his spiritual growth, his comprehension became comparable to that of geniuses who could master a field at the planetary level.

This breakthrough in his mental state has elevated his understanding to a new level.

A rough estimate suggests that it may have already approached the level of "Hong".

Of course, compared to those geniuses who comprehend a trace of the fundamental laws at the Hengxing level, he knew he was still some distance away.

However, compared to ordinary planetary-level geniuses who have mastered their fields, his comprehension is significantly stronger.

"Floating Dragon!"

The madman struck again, with water surging and dragon shadows piercing the air.

Bai Yuan gently shook his head, and the Golden Water Domain silently unfolded. His figure moved accordingly, possessing both the astonishing explosive power of a cheetah and the agility of flowing water, easily dodging that fierce attack.

"How could it be so fast! Who exactly are you?" the madman shouted angrily.

"Let's leave it at that," Baiyuan said calmly. "As long as you don't become enemies with the Scorpion Society again, we'll call it quits today."

The madman's face darkened, then he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Don't you understand the situation? You really think you've won? Everyone, attack! We'll split all the treasures on him!"

Before he finished speaking, more than six thousand figures surged in from all directions.

An overwhelming offensive poured down, some of which even carried the aura of second-rate combatants.

Even though Bai Yuan's strength is not what it used to be, he still cannot deal with so many people at the same time.

His limit is probably dealing with three thousand people at the same time.

"It's over...it's completely over!"

The scorpion's face was ashen.

Baiyuan might still have a chance to escape, but he himself is destined to have nowhere to run.

With this thought in mind, he couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment towards Baiyuan.

If Baiyuan hadn't let Fengdu go, giving him a chance to send a message, how could he have ended up in such a desperate situation?

Baiyuan did not turn around, but calmly said:

"Such heavy resentment... Never mind, Lord Crimson Sword, please send me out."

In an instant, a monstrous sword aura erupted!

The sword light was like a prison, sweeping across all directions.

In an instant, more than 6,000 people, including the Demon Scorpion, were annihilated, leaving only Baiyuan and Kuangtu standing in place.

The madman suddenly awoke, immediately fell to the ground, and cried out in a trembling voice:

"Sword Domain Master! I submit to you!"

As the light and shadow shifted, the two figures swayed and found themselves in a magnificent palace.

The Crimson Sword Realm Lord sat upright, smiling as he looked at the two below him.

The madman didn't dare to breathe and remained kneeling.

Baiyuan, however, raised his head and said directly, "Actually, I had no intention of killing them."

"They're just a bunch of death row inmates. They're dead, so what? Why bother?" The Crimson Sword Realm Master chuckled, his gaze falling on him.

"As for you, it seems you've gained quite a bit from this trip."

In the eyes of the realm lord, let alone death row inmates, even ordinary humans are just numbers when he wipes out millions of people with a wave of his hand.

The only difference is whether he wants to or not.

Baiyuan didn't dwell on this matter too much.

"The harvest was pretty good."

The madman was shocked. Even if he was stupid, he could see that the two not only knew each other, but their relationship was also extraordinary!

Originally, I was just here for a "tour" and I could leave whenever I wanted!

Red Sword's gaze slowly shifted to Madman, his tone becoming calm:

"From today onwards, you will begin as the captain. Seize the time and break through to the cosmic level as soon as possible."

"Yes, ma'am."

The madman dared not hesitate for a moment, and after respectfully responding, he was led away from the main hall by two attendants.

Silence returned to the hall.

After Baiyuan left, he asked with a hint of confusion:

"Now that we've accepted them, why not let them participate in the Genius Battle? If someone can truly stand out and achieve a ranking, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Chi Jian chuckled and shook his head upon hearing this.

"That would be asking for trouble. If they are really favored by some powerful figure and they want to be taken as disciples, should I release them or not? Although these people verbally submit to me, they will definitely still harbor resentment in their hearts."

Chi Jian's idea was clear: block these people's path to advancement and force them to depend on him.

In time, it will naturally be able to be completely subdued.

Baiyuan shrugged.

This demonstrates the power of soul enslavement; there's absolutely no need to worry about the possibility of betrayal.

After talking for a while, Baiyuan boarded a spaceship and set off for his second uncle's location.

At this moment, Yunhai had quietly appeared inside the hall.

"Teacher, is the gap between me and him truly insurmountable?"

Over the years, he has devoted himself to rigorous training, and his swordsmanship has advanced by leaps and bounds. He not only comprehended the first sword mark left by the Crimson Sword Realm Master, but also formally became his disciple.

The Crimson Sword Realm Master shook his head.

"Don't overthink it. Your strength has indeed improved significantly, but his improvement is even more terrifying. If he hadn't yet comprehended the fundamental laws, I would even believe that he has the potential to break into the top 100 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

"What!" Yun Hai's pupils shrank. "Even with a sliver of the fundamental laws, he can only rank in the top hundred?"

"Of course," the Crimson Sword Realm Master said calmly.

"How vast is the Qianwu Universe Kingdom? The Black Dragon Mountain Empire, where you originally belonged, is but a small corner of the land. In the last Genius Battle, all the geniuses in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region failed to even pass the first round."

"Those who can rank among the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Kingdom are all the strongest geniuses in their respective star regions. Among them, there are no fewer than 100 who have comprehended a trace of the fundamental laws, and tens of thousands who have reached the eighth or ninth level of their domains."

"Your water domain is only at the seventh level now. It's almost impossible for you to break into the top 1,000."

Upon hearing this, Yunhai clenched his fist tightly, but in the end, he could only let out a sigh.

Even someone with Bai Yuan's strength might not be able to break into the top 1,000, let alone himself.

The Crimson Sword Realm Master sighed softly, his gaze seemingly fixed on the distant past.

"I was once just like you, with lofty ambitions, determined to compete with those unparalleled geniuses."

He paused, a hint of melancholy in his voice:

"It wasn't until later that I realized how ridiculous I was back then. The gap between geniuses is just too vast."
