Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

After a long while, Lin Quan suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body, feeling completely relaxed and enlightened—he had thus comprehended the Law of Wishes.

He then traveled to various places to study the "Yin Yang True Scripture," and his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving no trace.

He traversed the three realms, selecting those whose temperament, character, and destiny aligned with his, and then gathered them together one by one.

"With three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and three thousand beauties surrounding him, such a magnificent scene is truly unforgettable."

He possessed all the teachings of the saints; he also mastered all the secret treasures of Hongjun.

All that Jieyin and Zhunti accumulated throughout their lives became spoils of war in the forests and springs.

Countless years have passed, and Lin Quan has mastered each and every martial art to its highest level.

Over many years, he fused all the traditions from the Journey to the West world into the Chaos Devouring Technique and the Dragon Elephant Undying Technique.

He never entertained the idea of ​​rebuilding the Heavenly Court or ruling the Three Realms.

The illusion created by the treasure bowl is ultimately just an illusion.

For him, the value of that world lay solely in accumulating cultivation techniques, deducing the laws and patterns, and replicating the original information of rare and precious materials.

After indulging his desires for more than a month, Lin Quan calmed down and began to delve into the mysteries of array formations.

Ancient formations of the human race, secret formations of the demon race, battle formations of the witch race, sea-suppressing formations of the dragon race, sky-burning formations of the phoenix race... all were now in his possession.

Did the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity and the War of the Lich King really cause so many formations to be completely severed from their lineage?

If he hadn't personally intervened, those two saints from the Western Sect would probably still be sitting comfortably on the preaching platform of Mount Ling.

The Dragon Clan's Zhou Tian Star Array, the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Nine Luminaries Array, the Witch Clan's Pangu True Body Guiding Array, and the Demon Clan's Ten Thousand Demons Devouring the Sun Array—which sage doesn't have a few trump cards up his sleeve?

The Hongjun Ancestor of this world had already perished under his sword, and the Jade Disc of Creation was now lying quietly deep within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Even if this Journey to the West before us is merely a phantom world conjured by the treasure bowl,

The techniques, Taoist scriptures, weapon-making secrets, and alchemical processes contained therein still have extremely high research value.

Stones from other mountains can sharpen one's own blade; rivers flow into the sea to become vast.

In just a few days, he deciphered the essence of the Two Elements Dust Array, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array, the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, the Bodhi Great Array, the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Array, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, the Ten Absolute Arrays, and so on, and understood them all thoroughly.

"The Jade Disc of Creation carries the true meaning of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and to me, it is as heavy as a mountain."

With the power of the Yin-Yang True Scripture, he helped Yang Liu, the Moon Fairy, and the Queen of Yaochi break through their shackles and ascend to the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

Although this realm is on par with the Saints, their combat power far surpasses that of ordinary Heavenly Dao Saints.

With three people guarding the Great Hong Empire, Lin Quan no longer had any worries.

He studies the Yin-Yang True Scripture several times a day, and devotes his spare time to comprehending the Jade Disc of Creation.

Time flies, and ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye. The laws he comprehended progressed layer by layer, eventually leading him to the peak of godhood.

"Having mastered all three thousand laws to the pinnacle of Godhood, his combat power is now incomparable to what it once was."

"The law of force is the framework of all laws, and the law of chaos is the foundation of all laws."

"The Dragon Elephant Undying Technique has been developed to the ninety-ninth level; it's time to give it a try."

Lin Quan focused his mind and began to practice the technique.

Despite hundreds of years of arduous practice, his cultivation technique has never been able to surpass the ninetieth level.

"The level of this realm is too low. Even with the blessing of the Treasure Basin, my cultivation technique is stuck at the ninetieth level and can hardly advance any further."

"If we can find a higher-level energy source to transform and sublimate the power of chaos, this skill will surely advance further."

After enjoying a carefree life for over a decade, Lin Quan turned and left, exiting the illusory world.

By deviating from the original plan, he completely rewrote the Journey to the West within the treasure bowl.

The two Western Saints were executed, Hongjun perished, and the pilgrimage to the West was aborted.

With the collapse of Mount Ling and the destruction of the Heavenly Court, the entire Journey to the West came to an abrupt end.

The moment he stepped out of the illusion, he felt a slight lingering sensation, as if he had lost something.

Willow branches, the Moon Goddess, and the Queen of Yaochi vanished with the illusion, leaving only a lingering warmth.

The vibrant smiles in "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" have faded away silently, like morning dew.

"The Journey to the West, which was transformed from the treasure bowl, is ultimately nothing more than a mirage."

He took slow, deep breaths to calm himself and silently tallied his gains.

"It's time to go back to my hometown and farm."

The next morning, Lin Quan drove an amphibious armored vehicle, carrying Chen Shiyan, Liu Yan, and others, towards Zhongjia Village in Baoshan Town.

After staying at home for a few days, he went to Baoshan Farm.

"The peach tree, the ginseng fruit tree, and the enlightenment tea tree are all treasures of heaven and earth."

He activated the Treasure Basin to transform the illusory into the real, and conjured three peach saplings, one ginseng fruit sapling, one enlightenment tea sapling, one yellow plum sapling, and one five-needle pine sapling.

Re-establish the spirit-dispersing array and spirit-locking array, and plant these saplings one by one around the villa on the mountaintop...

All seven plants were seedlings, no more than a foot tall.

"Set up several barriers on the mountainside, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter."

"Only parents can go up the mountain at any time without restriction."

With a light tap of the fingertip, several subtle array patterns quietly appeared on various parts of the mountain, and the entire mountain peak was immediately enveloped in a layer of faint, imperceptible spiritual light.

"In places rich in spiritual energy, spiritual grains can be planted in all four seasons, and it takes about half a year from sowing to harvest."

Lin Quan took out the treasure basin, and with a slight thought, the illusory image solidified—ten kilograms of plump and lustrous spirit grain seeds landed steadily in his palm.

"The remaining power in the basin is enough to support a small illusion."

He chose a shallow paddy field halfway up the mountain and bent down to scatter the seeds evenly.

The spirit valley is not picky about the land; as long as there is spiritual energy surrounding it, it can take root, sprout, and grow on its own.

"There are schools of eels and loaches in the fields; let's catch some to take home and enjoy."

On a whim, Lin Quan cut down green bamboo, split the branches, trimmed the joints, and wove them together, making sixty loach traps in one go.

They picked up a few more pounds of snails, chopped them into rice-sized pieces, mixed them into the rendered pork fat, and kneaded them into balls of bait.

Stuff one lump into each cage, bury it along the furrow along the field ridge, and gently cover it with soil and compact it.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, he was already standing on the edge of the field, eagerly waiting.

"The warehouse is almost full. This one cage alone contains more than a pound of eels and loaches."

One by one, the sixty baskets were lifted, and the lively, jumping harvest—over a hundred pounds—was poured out, so heavy that it bent the bamboo baskets.

"Wild loaches are round, while farmed ones are flat like a knife blade."

"The loaches, raised on spiritual energy, weigh up to two ounces, while the largest eels can weigh as much as two pounds."

On his way back to Zhongjia Village, he made a special detour to the vegetable market to buy chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, and garlic.

When I got home, I rolled up my sleeves and started cooking: I cut off the head and tail of the eel, removed the bones, pounded it to loosen it, and cut it into sections for later use; I sprinkled salt on the loach, covered it, and let it sit still, then pinched off the head, gutted it, washed it, and drained it.

With a roaring fire and a hot wok, the chef stir-fries, braises, and reduces the sauce, working for over an hour before serving three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup.

"These loaches are huge! Where did you buy them?"

"Could they have given him some growth-promoting drugs? Otherwise, how could he have grown so fat?"

"It was fished out of the paddy fields at my own Baoshan Farm."

"How did you catch them?"

"Sit in a bamboo cage, waiting for the 'loach' to fall into the tree stump."

"The meat is tender, spicy, numbing, and fragrant—it's absolutely amazing."

"After eating, I felt warm all over, like I had a small stove inside me."
