"Also, you can come find me anytime you want to put your sword back in its sheath!"

The projection ended there. Jiang Yuan pondered the meaning behind the words, his expression turning strange. The earlier explanation of the source of light and darkness was easy to understand, but the later part about sheathing the sword... enmmm

"Am I thinking evil thoughts?"

Jiang Yuan lightly slapped himself in the face, then cleared away all those messy thoughts.

"Check the date of the next total solar eclipse!"

Jiang Yuan logged into the Tianqi Network, only to discover that the next once-in-a-century total solar eclipse was just seven days away.

"This timeframe is way too tight!"

Jiang Yuan's head was throbbing. He needed to find insight, and Huasheng Academy would officially start in two days. After that, he would need to increase his credits and try his best to squeeze into the pilgrimage route. Now, in seven days, he had to go to find the Bright Heart. This schedule was completely designed to treat him like he was not human.

Unable to absorb the source of light and darkness, Jiang Yuan could only turn his attention elsewhere.

After setting up an array, Jiang Yuan took out a cultivation scroll and began his breakthrough. He had already completed the fourth stage of the True Spirit Realm, and his foundation in this small realm was already a hundred times greater than that of ordinary people. The breakthrough was a natural outcome.

When Jiang Yuan broke through to the fifth stage of the True Spirit Realm, he had 15,000 divine energy patterns, and his divine energy patterns had been mixed with the full meaning of the Nine Spirits attributes, making his combat power far superior to that of others at the same level.

Jiang Yuan would not become arrogant because of this. He knew clearly who his opponents were. Cultivators of the same realm were not qualified to be his opponents. His opponents were the gods who had stood at the pinnacle of their races throughout history.

Different self-positioning leads to different requirements, so someone at the fifth stage of the True Spirit Realm is not yet qualified to be complacent.

"True Spirit Realm, Fifth Stage!" Jiang Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He thought to himself, "I wonder if it's possible to cultivate both the physical body and the soul simultaneously!"

What enters the Apocalypse World is the soul, cultivating attribute insights, but what about the physical body left outside? Can it cultivate autonomously and continuously?

If he can truly multitask, his growth rate will be greatly accelerated.

"Why don't you give it a try and see!"

If you have an idea, then do it; this has always been Jiang Yuan's principle.

He first expelled all the demonic runes from his body, and soon the entire private room was filled with dense demonic energy. His mind was also slightly affected, but fortunately, he had absorbed a lot of lightning during the battle with Kuang Lei, so he could maintain a balance for the time being.

After the Demon God Mark appeared, it began to absorb the power of the top-grade Holy Spirit Crystal involuntarily. The next step is to enter the Apocalypse World. If the Demon God Mark can still absorb the power instinctively after entering the Apocalypse World, then it will be considered a success.

"Absorb energy!"

Jiang Yuan mobilized all 100,000 pores in his body to endlessly absorb spiritual energy. Some actions that are maintained for a long time can form conditioned reflexes, such as blinking. Over time, muscle memory can make people unconsciously maintain the same action.

Physical cultivation also involves the retention of memories!

"Enter the Apocalypse World!"

Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth and reconnected to the Apocalypse World. Last time, he had safely exited, so this time he didn't need to spend divine blood to re-condense his spiritual body. Instead, he appeared directly at the point where he had exited last time.

His physical cultivation was very successful. The Demon God Mark maintained its usual cultivation memories and continued to absorb the spiritual energy of the Holy Spirit Crystal. At this rate, the Nine Spirit Demon Body would be able to catch up with the fifth level of the True Spirit Realm within a few days, at which time his strength would experience another qualitative leap.

"Haha, I'm back again!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan entered the Apocalypse World, he became energetic, and the electric sound he shouted was particularly domineering.

He was almost depressed from being tormented by Wei Yue outside, but now that he's gotten rid of the yandere and received a series of benefits, he should relax in the Apocalypse World.

"Nine Spirits Domain!"

Jiang Yuan found a spot and began his shameless plundering again. This time, perhaps because he had reached the fifth stage of the True Spirit Realm, the power of the Nine Spirits Domain had increased by 20%. Among the attribute treasures he plundered, there was even a treasure containing half a fragment of the rules.

"Awesome!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed excitedly, clutching a piece of rotten wood.

In the world of Apocalypse, even those at the Heavenly Spirit Realm might not be able to find fragments of rules, yet he, a mere fifth-stage True Spirit Realm cultivator, actually found half a piece.

"Tsk tsk, basic reset, let's try again!"

Jiang Yuan struck while the iron was hot, and after moving to another location, he began his domineering plundering again. This plundering also alarmed many people in Zhongzhou City, including the bar owner.

"You bastard, you went on strike without asking for leave! I've caught you red-handed today!"

The tomboy squeezed the cup with a clattering sound, then slammed it down on the bar.

"Closed for the night, we'll be shut down in three minutes!"

A single sentence echoed through the bar. The lively crowd froze for a few seconds, then one by one, they began to leave with unspoken thoughts. Last time, those who hadn't left after the bar closed were all beaten out. This time, it wouldn't be closing time, it would be beatings.

Everyone knows the name of the Central Continent Inspector. In the Central Continent City of the Apocalypse World, she is the only person who can control the rules of the Apocalypse World.

"Another fragment of the rules has arrived!"

Jiang Yuan was ecstatic to have activated the Nine Spirits Domain once again. He hadn't expected such a huge harvest right from the start tonight. He had obtained half a wood-attribute rule fragment for the first time, and now he had obtained a wind-attribute rule fragment. His luck was unmatched. He was looking forward to the power of the Nine Spirits Domain after he became a Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator. He could imagine how miserable the people of Zhongzhou City would be at that time.

"A great haul, time to log off!"
