Devour: Can you also draw entries from clone projection worlds?

In the autumn of the twenty-third year, Wei Wen visited Yang Gong's treasure vault again.

However... he wasn't looking for the Evil Emperor's Relic, nor for the gold and silver treasures there.

He had no interest in the treasures, but he was very interested in "power".

The Yang Gong Treasure Vault contains Yang Su's life savings. Although those gold and silver treasures do not possess internal energy, they have something else—momentum, and not just any ordinary "momentum".

This kind of "momentum" is not the kind of momentum a martial artist possesses, but rather the momentum brought about by wealth.

When gold and silver are piled up like mountains, and jewels are piled up like the sea, that kind of "power" cannot be generated by one person alone. It is the result of thousands upon thousands of gold and silver jewels stacked together, like a mountain pressing down on people's hearts.

Wei Wen sat in the treasure vault for a day and a night, slowly sensing the existence of that "momentum".

Although this kind of "momentum" is not mainstream, he still wants to incorporate it into his own "momentum," making it more substantial and stable.

In the spring of the twenty-fourth year, Wei Wen returned to Chang'an.

His pharmacy is still open; he may be planning to stay in Chang'an from now on.

He really didn't plan to leave again.

I've been to all the places I was supposed to go, met all the people I was supposed to meet, and gotten almost everything I was supposed to get.

He planned to spend the rest of his time quietly in Chang'an, digesting and absorbing the gains of the past few years, and completely integrating the immense internal energy within his body.

He integrated the War God's Manual, the Compassionate Sword Manual, and the Heavenly Demon Strategy into the Returning Origin Technique, elevating "momentum" to the level of "Tao," expanding his domain to the limit he could reach, and striving to quickly transform it into real-time combat power in the main world.

This stay lasted for three years.

For three years, from the twenty-fourth to the twenty-sixth year, he would get up early every day to meditate in the courtyard, see patients at the pharmacy in the morning, study the Four Great Classical Novels in the afternoon, and meditate and cultivate himself in the evening.

His days passed with the precision of a clock, and the neighbors had grown accustomed to Dr. Wei's routine—opening his door precisely every morning and closing it precisely every evening, never drinking, never socializing, never going to brothels, and never watching entertainment.

His life was even more disciplined than a monk's.

In the autumn of the twenty-sixth year, Wei Wen stood in the courtyard and looked up at the moon in the sky. The moon was round and bright.

He has been in this world for twenty-six years, and his internal energy has been compressed to its limit. Well, the current limit is far more refined than before.

His "momentum"... also evolved from "fusion" to "transformation," transforming all things in heaven and earth for his own use, transforming all energy as its origin, and transforming all martial arts as its source.

Since his domain was projected into the martial arts world and he gained the ability to protect himself, he has been cultivating ever since.

The range of perception has expanded from 150 zhang to 500 zhang, and the ability has evolved from merely sensing breath and movement to perceiving the flow of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, predicting an opponent's actions, and influencing their mind.

In the main world of Swallowed Star, exceptionally talented planetary-level warriors can master domains, but they are generally only at the first or third level of the domain.

However, in the world of martial arts, his cultivation of his domain allowed him to reach the sixth level of the domain realm, and he even touched the threshold of the seventh level.

On the first day of the twenty-seventh year, Wei Wen made a decision.

He wanted to use the "Northern Darkness Divine Art" to its fullest extent before leaving this world, maximizing the gains from this clone projection.

Moreover, it's not simply about absorbing the internal energy of a few people, but about seeing if it's possible to directly absorb the internal energy of almost everyone in the world, just like in the previous low-level martial arts world.

Especially those evil people, evil masters, and those who deserve to die... Instead of keeping their inner strength for evil purposes, it's better to let them take it with them. This is not indiscriminate killing of innocent people, but making good use of waste.

In the days that followed, Wei Wen began his frantic "hunting," seeing patients at the pharmacy during the day and going out at night.

With the release of his domain, everything within a radius of 500 zhang is within his perception. Even without requiring detailed perception, this range can be extended to a radius of 10 li.

He was looking for those who deserved to die—flower thieves, murderers, corrupt officials who oppressed the people, and evil masters who wreaked havoc in the region.

Once found, it was very simple. The domain enveloped him, and his internal energy surged into his body like water being pumped out.

There were those who resisted, but practically none could resist his power.

One month, two months, three months.

His internal energy increased rapidly once again, and by the end of the year, it had exceeded one million units.

A million years' worth of internal energy?! That's the level of skill an ordinary person would need to cultivate for a million years to achieve.

People in the low-level martial arts world would be terrified to death upon hearing this number, and people in the mid-level martial arts world would shake their heads in disbelief.

But with his mastery of the "Northern Darkness Divine Art" and the "War God's Manual," anything is possible.

The absorbed internal energy was purified by the War God's Manual, impurities were removed, and superficiality was solidified. This is why he barely reached a total internal energy level of one million; otherwise, it would have at least doubled.

In the autumn of the twenty-seventh year, Wei Wen met Ning Daoqi again.

On the streets of Chang'an, this number one man in the Central Plains stood at the entrance of his pharmacy, dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk, and smiling.

"You've gotten stronger again?!" Ning Daoqi's tone couldn't help but show some surprise.

Wei Wen invited him in, poured him a cup of tea, and didn't say anything else.

Ning Daoqi looked at the tea in the teacup and said, "Your momentum is no longer momentum... I think it should be called the Dao!"

Wei Wen remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Master, I want to ask you a question."

"explain."

"Do you think I can shatter the void?"

Ning Daoqi put down his teacup and looked at him with a deep gaze: "Yes, but not here."

Wei Wen was stunned by what he heard. Why did these grandmasters all talk like that...?

Ning Daoqi smiled, a mysterious smile with an indescribable meaning: "Your Dao should not be in this world, then you can only shatter the void in another world."

Wei Wen didn't say anything, but picked up his teacup and took a sip.

In the winter of the twenty-seventh year, Wei Wen began to wrap things up. It was the last year of the Zhongwu World. He repaid the favors he owed and gave his due.

He left even the small pharmacy to Aunt Li next door, the house to Old Wang at the end of the street, and distributed the remaining silver and medicinal herbs to his neighbors.

On the last day of the twenty-seventh year, Wei Wen stood in the courtyard looking at the moon in the sky.

The moon was round and bright. He thought of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Ba Feng Han and Fu Junyu, Ning Daoqi, Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan, Song Que, Fan Qinghui and Xiang Yutian.

These people and events will likely remain in his memory, and he will never forget them.

Opening the system panel, the clone projection interface lit up.
