Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

Virtual universe, Heilongshan Island.

In a quiet, green residential area, Baiyuan and Baitianning walked side by side, taking in their surroundings.

"This time, the immortal god has personally summoned you. You must be careful with your words and actions, and never offend the ancestor."

Throughout the journey, Bai Tianning repeatedly gave instructions, his expression solemn.

"Second Uncle, I'm not ignorant of my place. Why would I offend our own ancestor for no reason?"

Baiyuan smiled helplessly.

In previous years, the clan leader would personally give instructions and encouragement before the Genius Battle.

Who would have thought that this time, it would be the ancestor who had not appeared in the world for so long who would come in person.

However, it seems that he was the only one summoned this time.

During their conversation, the two arrived at the gate of an elegant villa.

Upon entering, Bai Yuan's gaze sharpened slightly at the scene before him.

The hall was filled with people, as many as eighteen.

He recognized several of the faces, including the Madman, the Clan Chief, Bai Luoyan, and even the Crimson Sword Realm Lord.

They were all Realm Lord level experts.

However, at this moment, these realm lords, who were usually domineering, dignified, or unrestrained, all wore solemn and respectful expressions, regardless of their true nature.

All eyes were drawn to the figure deep inside the living room, whose back was to the door.

Bai Yuan remained calm, but Bai Tianning beside him felt a slight tightness in his chest and unconsciously slowed his pace.

"Steady steps, even breathing, not bad, not bad."

The figure slowly turned around, his face very young, exuding a resolute and masculine aura.

Although it was the first time they had actually seen the real person, Baiyuan and Baitianning were not unfamiliar with this face at all.

They had seen this face countless times in their tribe.

This face is etched everywhere on the Blade Clan's flags, emblems, temple murals, and even everyday objects.

This is the true form of the immortal god of the Blade Clan!

"Greetings, Ancestor!" The two bowed deeply.

"No need for formalities." Blademaster's gaze shifted slightly. "However, it seems I only summoned one person?"

Baiyuan immediately explained, "The ancestor did indeed only summon me. My second uncle was worried about me, so he accompanied me here."

"Is it because of that incident back then?" Blade Marquis smiled slightly, already knowing everything.

"They want me to handle the negotiations with the Yabo Empire?"

Baiyuan nodded quickly.

"Okay, I agree." Blade Marquis said calmly.

"However, your second uncle probably has no hope of getting His Majesty the Emperor of the Yabo Empire to agree on his own. Now, the only hope is probably on you."

"In the Genius Battle, I will do my utmost to strive for a good enough ranking," Bai Yuan replied firmly in a deep voice.

Blade Marquis chuckled, "This is why I summoned you here. Madman said you are the greatest genius in the history of the Blade Clan, and Crimson Sword also speaks highly of you. I am very curious about what makes you so special."

"Attack me with all your might!"

The expressions of the dozen or so realm lords around them all changed slightly.

Only those close to him understood how rare and highly regarded it was for the Blademaster to say such words.

More than half of them had never received such "treatment".

Baiyuan took a deep breath, knowing that this was a test of his strength, and his expression became serious and focused.

boom! ! !

He made a sudden move, so fast that it caused the expressions of the several realm lords present to change.

His figure was like a dragon suddenly leaping out of the abyss; before the blade even arrived, the chill had already seeped in!

"First move of the Yuan-level sword technique, Wave Breaker!"

A glint of light appeared in Blade's eyes, and he offered a casual comment:

"The body moves with the mind, and the sword follows the body. This can be considered as reaching the highest level of swordsmanship. The two domains of metal and water are perfectly integrated. In particular, the application of the domains is the most exquisite, which can be described as consummate. It completely makes up for the gap in realm."

Before he finished speaking, he simply raised a finger and pointed forward.

Before the fingertips even touched it, the murderous intent spread out as if it were a tangible force, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood rushing towards you, plunging you into an endless killing field.

Bai Tianning's expression changed drastically.

Even though the attack wasn't specifically targeted at him, the terrifying aura still assaulted his mind.

If one were to experience it firsthand, even if one's will is not broken, one's strength would be greatly suppressed.

Not only Bai Tianning, but all the realm lords present also looked solemn.

One of the realm lords thought to himself, "Isn't Master taking this a bit too seriously? Although 'Star Fiend' isn't Master's ultimate technique, it can be used to deal with a junior in his early thirties..."

However, what happened next shocked him.

Baiyuan was completely unaffected by that overwhelming evil energy!

The sword still slashed down with fierce force, clashing with that finger in mid-air!

clang!!!

In just a moment, Baiyuan's body trembled violently, and a terrifying force surged back along the blade.

In the virtual universe, although the basic physical strength of both sides is leveled out, it is common for immortal gods to exert a hundredfold increase in power.

But for Baiyuan, this gap is an insurmountable chasm.

"The Illusionary Martial Arts Style?" Bai Yuan was astonished.

This school of thought is extremely rare.

In terms of mastery over illusions, mentalists are undoubtedly more adept, while ordinary people often use various means or soul defenses to resist them.

But the illusion warriors are different; each of their attacks is accompanied by a strong sense of illusion.

This is not a soul attack, but a mental shock generated by "cultivating the mind," which can only be resisted by one's own will.

"Oh? You're completely unaffected. It seems your willpower is comparable to that of most realm lords."

Blade Master was quite surprised.

"Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor. I will definitely practice diligently," Baiyuan said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

That move just now was clearly a "guidance" that the patriarch intentionally gave him, based on his experience and abilities.

Whether Baiyuan can gain some insight from this opportunity depends on himself.

"If you understand this, then you haven't let my efforts go to waste." Blade Marquis nodded in satisfaction.

"Now that your matter has been resolved, it's time to deal with clan affairs as well."

With Baiyuan's current strength, he has almost no rivals unless he encounters super geniuses who have comprehended a trace of the fundamental laws.

Then, Daofeng Hou's expression darkened, his gaze sweeping over Bailuoyan like a blade. His tone wasn't loud, but it carried an imposing aura of anger without being overbearing:

"Kneel down."

Bai Luoyan did not hesitate at all and immediately knelt down.

Seeing this, the clan chief couldn't help but gloat.

The two had always been at odds, and seeing the other suffer a setback naturally brought them secret pleasure.

"You kneel down too."

Daofeng Hou turned his gaze to the clan leader, speaking in a calm tone.

The clan chief's face stiffened, and he dared not disobey, so he obediently knelt down.

Blademaster looked down at the two men: "Speak, where did you go wrong?"

"Ancestor, I shouldn't have secretly suppressed the cultivation of the clan's geniuses," Bai Luoyan hurriedly replied.

"I...I knew about this, yet I did not stop it, which is a serious failure as the clan leader."

Daofeng Hou did not respond, but instead looked at Baiyuan.

"You tell me, where did they go wrong?"

Bai Yuan's lips twitched slightly. How did this get back to him?

But since the patriarch asked the question personally, he naturally couldn't pretend he hadn't heard it.

"Ancestor Qi, in my opinion, the biggest problem with the clan leader and Lord Luoyan is their lack of strength... Perhaps they have become somewhat lax in their cultivation in recent years."

Upon hearing this, Daofeng Hou's lips gradually curved into a smile, clearly quite satisfied with the answer.

"Did you hear that? Even a junior like you can see that clearly, yet you two are completely oblivious!"
