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

You stand in front of the stone wall, staring at the tadpole-like characters, completely stunned. Those characters are not ordinary words, but rather a series of meridian diagrams.

Each stroke corresponds to a specific meridian or acupoint in the human body.

If you circulate your internal energy according to these strokes, you can reach an unprecedented level.

You take a deep breath, sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and begin to guide the flow of your Northern Darkness internal energy according to the tadpole-like script on the stone wall.

Stroke by stroke, step by step.

With each rotation, you can feel the subtle changes in your internal energy, making it purer, more concentrated, and stronger.

You sat in front of the stone wall for three days and three nights without eating, drinking, sleeping or resting.

Other sect leaders or gang leaders were also looking at the stone wall, but none of them could understand the tadpole-like script, so they could only guess at it.

Only you, with the blessing of "all things returning to one" and "boundless freedom," have understood the true meaning of those words.

However, Brother Gou, Shi Potian, truly lives up to his destiny as the protagonist, as he is also continuously comprehending the divine skill, the Tai Xuan Scripture.

Three days later, you open your eyes and stand up. The Northern Darkness Inner Force within your body is completely different. Before, it was a great river, but now it is a vast ocean, thick, deep, and boundless.

You use the concept of "harmony between man and nature" to perceive the surrounding primordial energy of heaven and earth, and you will find that that primordial energy is spontaneously flowing into your body, just like all rivers flowing into the sea.

The Tai Xuan Jing is complete.

It seemed as if by some unseen force, the two island masters, Longmu and Erdao, were standing deep within the stone cave, watching you.

However... their gazes were both calm, without a trace of hostility or wariness, only a faint, indescribable curiosity, or even... relief.

"Young friend, you... have mastered it?" Island Master Long asked.

"I've mastered it," you said.

"How long?" the island master asked.

"Three days."

The two island lords, Long and Mu, exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

They had studied the Tai Xuan Scripture on Xia Ke Island for decades without fully comprehending it, yet this young man had done it in just three days.

Although it's hard to believe, they can sense something is amiss; you're not lying to them.

Moreover, when they looked at the texts of the Tai Xuan Jing before them, they were completely different. It seemed that... the profound meanings contained within had disappeared, leaving only ordinary symbols.

"I wonder how you did it, young friend?" asked Island Master Long.

You smiled, offered no explanation, and simply walked up to the Second Island Master of Longmu Island and slowly extended your hand.

"My two island lords, I have a request."

"explain."

"I would like to borrow your inner strength."

The expressions of the two island lords, Longmu and Shizi, changed. They looked at you, and the calmness in their eyes disappeared, replaced by vigilance.

"Young friend, do you know what you're talking about?" Island Master Mu asked.

"I know," you said, "but I won't lend it for nothing. I'll find a way to repay you. Besides, it seems you want to take this internal energy with you. Rather than wasting it, you might as well let me have it."

"To grant your wish?" Island Master Long frowned.

You didn't offer much explanation, but simply unleashed the full power of your Northern Darkness Inner Force, revealing your full strength to the two of them.

The expressions of the two island lords, Longmu and Shi, changed completely. At this moment, they clearly sensed the internal energy within you, which was profound, pure, and unfathomable.

His total internal energy was far greater than the combined internal energy of the two of them.

"Young friend...you...you probably don't need our internal energy anymore, right?" The Dragon Island Master's voice trembled slightly for some reason.

"Yes, we need it," you said, shaking your head. "The more the better."

The two island masters, Longmu and Er, remained silent for a long time before nodding.

"Okay, we agree."

You didn't drain them completely; you only absorbed 90%. After all, they hadn't offended you. Leaving 10% of your internal energy at least allowed them to retain their foundation, though it slightly affected their combat strength and lifespan.

The profound internal energy of the two island masters, Longmu and Diyu, instantly surged into your dantian like a tidal wave, causing your Beiming internal energy to surge to a terrifying level.

With thousands of years of internal energy gathered within you, you feel yourself glowing.

"Thank you," you said, bowing with your hands clasped in thanks.

The two island masters, Long and Mu, shook their heads without speaking. Having lost ninety percent of their internal energy, their faces were extremely pale and their bodies were noticeably weaker, but there was no resentment in their eyes, only an inexplicable sense of relief.

"Two island lords," you said, "I promise you that before I leave, I will find a way to help you break through your bottlenecks, for example... to enable you to also master the Tai Xuan Scripture."

The eyes of the two island lords, Long and Mu, lit up: "Young friend, is what you say true?"

"really."

"Very good, very good. If I could glimpse even a corner of the Tai Xuan Scripture before I die, I would truly have no regrets."

After you finished speaking, you turned and walked out of the cave. The sunlight shone on you, casting a long shadow.

You stood at the cave entrance, glanced back at the tadpole-like characters on the stone wall, and then walked away without looking back.

Next, everyone on the island cooperated very well, willingly contributing ninety percent of their internal energy to you.

Although these sect leaders and gang leaders are far less skilled than the two island masters of Longmu Island, and may even be inferior to Xie Yanke, their sheer numbers make up for it.

Some provide twenty years' worth of pure internal energy, while others provide nearly sixty years' worth...

[Projection ended, memory replay in progress...]

[Gains from this projection:]

[Tai Xuan Scripture: A cultivation technique of immortality. Upon mastery, it increases one's total internal energy by hundreds of times, greatly enhances physical strength, and elevates combat power beyond the realm of martial arts.]

[Internal Energy Cultivation: Having absorbed 90% of Xie Yanke's internal energy, 90% each of the Dragon and Wood Island Masters, and 90% of the internal energy of nearly a hundred people on Xia Ke Island, plus his own cultivation, Bei Ming's total internal energy has reached a staggering 6,000 years.]

[Entries: White x38, Green x5, Blue x2, Purple x4 (New Purple entry?)]

[Time has passed in the main world: half a day.]

Wei Wen opened his eyes; it was still that familiar room. His body surged with almost limitless energy (converted from the Northern Darkness Internal Force by the system).

Its body rapidly merged with the main world, every cell brimming with power, as if it were about to explode.

He took a deep breath, and the heavy energy seemed to condense into liquid.

Yes, Wei Wen ended the world of Xia Ke Xing ahead of schedule. After all, besides the acquisition of the entries, the two biggest gains, Tai Xuan Jing and a massive amount of Bei Ming internal energy, had already been obtained.

Of course, before leaving, you also kept your promise and truly fulfilled the wishes of the two island lords, Longmu and Dizhu.

At this moment, Wei Wen's strength was far beyond what a junior general could measure.

With six thousand years of Northern Darkness Inner Force, the blessing of the Tai Xuan Scripture, and the comprehensive amplification of the purple attributes, judging by his strength, he is at least a high-level warrior, or even possibly a war god!

Wei Wen stood up, walked to the training post, and without throwing a punch, simply pressed it lightly.

The training post shook violently, and a number appeared on the display screen at the top of the post—punching power: 50000 kg.

Fifty tons.

Wei Wen looked at the number and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Fifty tons of punching force would be the standard for a high-level warrior in the world of Swallowed Star.

And this... was just a casual press from him, he didn't use any force at all.

Wei Wen stared at the fluctuating number on the training pole and remained silent for a long time.

50,000 kilograms, 50 tons...

He remembered that when he first transmigrated, he only had a few hundred kilograms of punching power, which was equivalent to that of a quasi-martial artist.

Even after the first time he traveled through time, it seems he only had a punching force of 1,100 kilograms.

But now, in just a few days, that number has increased fiftyfold, and its strength is incomparable to what it used to be.

In the vast universe, he'd be at the sixth level of apprenticeship, but well, in the grand scheme of the universe, he's really nothing.

Wei Wen then tested his speed on a 10-meter short track, sprinting at full speed.

This time, he held nothing back, channeling all his strength into his legs. With a powerful push, the floor groaned under the strain, and he shot out like a cannonball, the wind whistling in his ears and his vision blurring.

When he reached the finish line, he almost couldn't stop and crashed headfirst into the wall, pressing his palm into the wall and creating a shallow dent.

Looking up at the speedometer, it showed 180 meters per second.

The neural reaction speed was also measured, and it was 0.01 seconds.

Wei Wen walked away from the speedometer, returned to his room, lay on his bed, and stared at the ceiling.

His body was surging with almost inexhaustible energy, like a deep and unfathomable sea.

The immense gains brought about by the Northern Darkness Divine Art truly satisfied him.

In just a few days, his strength skyrocketed to an almost unreal level.

Next time, if I give him another ten thousand years of internal energy, that'll probably be nothing new.

As for cultivating artistic conception and domain? Or cultivating with increased power?

I do have these things too, it's just...

"Right now, I should focus on accumulating energy and breaking through to a level beyond the God of War..." Wei Wen couldn't help but sigh to himself. "Only in this way can I protect myself, have some sense of security, and have time to focus on the fundamentals in all aspects."
