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

Wei Wen stood up and walked to the window. It was dawn, and the sun was rising from the east, bathing the entire training ground in golden light.

Several trainees were running on the training field, covered in sweat and panting heavily.

Wei Wen looked at them, a slight smile playing on his lips. Not long ago, he was one of them, but now he was already at the God of War level, and could even break through to a level beyond God of War at any time.

A few days of projection, combined with decades of experience, transformed him into a peak-level warrior.

"But with this much strength, it's still not enough to face those three major villains on Earth..." Wei Wen sighed inwardly.

Wei Wen stood in front of the training stake for a long time, looking at the fluctuating number, but his heart was as calm as a still pond.

Three hundred thousand kilograms, three hundred tons.

He wouldn't have dared to dream of such a number before, but now he finds it perfectly natural.

Decades of projection experience, two hundred thousand years of internal energy accumulation, seven purple attributes, one gold attribute... If all these things combined can't even generate three hundred tons of punching force, then all these years have been wasted.

He walked back to the bedside and sat down, opened the system panel, and reviewed his current strength data from beginning to end. Punching power: 300 tons; speed: 300 meters per second; neural reaction time: 0.005 seconds; genetic energy cultivation: advanced peak of War God.

Overall combat strength assessment: God of War at the peak.

He achieved the title of God of War, representing the pinnacle of human combat power in the world of Swallowed Star, in less than a few days.

It's not that he's particularly talented; it's that the projection of his clone gave him an opportunity that others didn't have.

While others have only twenty-four hours in a day, he has twenty-four years.

While others can only practice for one year, he can practice for decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years in a single day.

This is a dimensional reduction attack, this is cheating.

But he didn't get carried away. At least he knew that while the God of War was an unattainable figure in the eyes of ordinary people, he was nothing in front of true powerhouses.

Planetary level, Eternal level, Cosmic level, Domain Lord, Realm Lord, Immortal... Each level is an insurmountable barrier.

He's not even a planetary-level being, so what right does he have to act arrogantly?

"Keep going," he told himself.

The next projection will begin now.

Wei Wen took a deep breath and opened the system's projection interface.

Suddenly everything went black, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness washed over him. Wei Wen closed his eyes, waiting for the moment he would land.

Then, the light came, and he opened his eyes to find himself standing on a mountain.

The mountain is not high, but it is very steep. It is covered with pine and cypress trees. The mountain wind carries the bitter fragrance of pine needles and the damp smell of soil.

He looked down at his own hands; they were fair, slender, and had distinct knuckles—they weren't his hands.

He touched his face; it was young, smooth, and wrinkle-free. He had changed bodies again, or rather, this was the body of his clone projection.

He found a pine tree to sit down and began to process the memories of this body.

The owner of this body was named Wei Wen, the son of a hunter at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

His parents died early, and he lived alone in a wooden house in the mountains, making a living by hunting.

He knows no martial arts, no medicine, and can barely read; he's just an ordinary country bumpkin, eighteen years old.

Wei Wen nodded in satisfaction. This identity was transparent enough, with no sect background or Jianghu connections, so it wouldn't attract attention.

Moreover, Zhongnan Mountain is in a great location; the Quanzhen School of Taoism is located on the mountain, as is the Ancient Tomb School.

Chongyang Palace, the Tomb of the Living Dead, Wang Chongyang, Lin Chaoying, Zhou Botong, Qiu Chuji, Xiaolongnu, Li Mochou... all these characters from the original work are around him.

He doesn't need to travel the world looking for opportunities; opportunities are right at his doorstep.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and walked down the mountain path.

The wooden cabins are on a small platform halfway up the mountain. There are three cabins, not big, but enough to keep you occupied.

Several pine trees were planted in front of the house, and a stream flowed behind it. The water was so clear that you could see the pebbles at the bottom.

Wei Wen pushed open the wooden door, and a musty smell hit him. The original owner of this body hadn't been back for several days.

He opened the windows to let in fresh air, took the bedding outside to air it out, and then went to the stream to fetch a bucket of water. He cleaned the house inside and out, and after working for most of the day, the wooden house was finally habitable.

Sitting under the pine tree in front of the door, I began to plan my next steps.

The timeline of The Return of the Condor Heroes takes place after The Legend of the Condor Heroes. At this time, Guo Jing is already a great hero, Huang Rong is already the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Yang Guo is still a child, and Xiaolongnü is still a young girl.

Li Mochou has already betrayed the Ancient Tomb Sect and is committing evil deeds in the martial arts world. The Golden Wheel Monk has not yet come to the Central Plains, and the Valley of Heartbreak has not yet emerged.

His arrival was perfectly timed.

Since they were in Zhongnan Mountain, Wei Wen's first target was the internal energy cultivation method of the Quanzhen Sect.

It's not that I want to learn the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect, but that I want to use the internal energy cultivation method of the Quanzhen Sect to deduce the innate skill.

The Innate Skill was Wang Chongyang's ultimate martial art, one of the most powerful internal martial arts in the world. After Wang Chongyang's death, the Innate Skill was lost.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen all learned the basic internal skills of the Quanzhen School; none of them knew the innate skills.

But Wei Wen knew that the foundation of the Innate Skill lay in the basic internal skills of the Quanzhen School.

As long as he can obtain the internal energy cultivation method of the Quanzhen Sect, he can use the principles of "all methods returning to oneness" and "boundless freedom" to deduce the innate skill from the basics.

As for how to obtain the internal energy cultivation method of the Quanzhen Sect?

Stealing was easy for him, as the Quanzhen Sect's scripture library was located behind Chongyang Palace and wasn't heavily guarded.

That night, Wei Wen changed into a black night-clothes and sneaked up Zhongnan Mountain in the dark.

Chongyang Palace was very large, with palaces and pavilions standing side by side. It took him some time to find the location of the Sutra Repository.

The Sutra Repository was a three-story wooden building, with two Quanzhen disciples guarding the entrance, who were dozing off.

Wei Wen scaled the wall into the backyard and climbed in through a second-floor window.

The library was filled with books, with rows and rows of bookshelves packed tightly together.

By the dim moonlight, he rummaged through the bookshelves, searching for the Quanzhen Sect's internal energy cultivation methods, Quanzhen sword techniques, the Big Dipper Formation, the Golden Goose Skill, and more...

Wei Wen didn't take the book; instead, he memorized the mental cultivation method word by word, so he could remember it after just one reading and didn't need to take it with him.

After finishing writing, he climbed out of the window and left Chongyang Palace silently.

Back in the cabin, he lit an oil lamp and wrote down the internal energy cultivation techniques he had memorized on paper.

The basic internal skills of the Quanzhen School are not complicated. The core is "purity and non-action, embracing the original essence and guarding the oneness", which emphasizes a peaceful state of mind and the natural flow of internal energy.

Wei Wen closed his eyes and circulated his internal energy through a full cycle according to the mental cultivation method.

The internal energy of the Quanzhen School flows slowly and gently through the meridians, like a stream.

He used the principle of "all laws return to one" to merge this internal force with the internal force of the Northern Darkness.

The Beiming internal energy is powerful and domineering, while the Quanzhen internal energy is gentle and enduring. The two internal energies coexist within the body without conflict, each following its own path.

Then, using the techniques of "Free and Unfettered" and "All Streams Return to Their Source," they deduced the Innate Skill from the basic internal skills of the Quanzhen School.

This process is somewhat complicated, requiring constant trial and error, adjustments, and optimizations. He wasn't in a hurry, after all... there was plenty of time.

After three days and three nights of deduction, he finally succeeded in the first half of the night. The internal energy of the Innate Skill circulated autonomously in his dantian, endlessly, without needing to be deliberately activated.

Wei Wen opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
