The Realm of Enlightenment!
"This is the Realm of Enlightenment?" Ye Chuan felt the power surging within him.
Each realm was a world apart, and the higher the realm, the deeper the chasm between them—like an unfathomable abyss.
"This feels amazing. If Qian Shuang awakens the memories of the Empress, can I also synchronize into an Immortal Emperor?" As Ye Chuan spoke, he suddenly realized something.
The Realm Synchronization Card probably only worked for realms below the tenth tier.
Guess that won’t work.
"Moving mountains, shifting seas?" After breaking through to the Realm of Enlightenment, Ye Chuan’s mastery of spiritual energy reached a new level. Thinking of Qin Tianya’s half-step Mahayana strength, he just shook his head.
"Thought he was so impressive."
Couldn’t hold back anymore—time to go crush Qin Tianya right now.
Ye Chuan’s divine sense now spanned a thousand miles. With the bonus from his Tech Tree, it was a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary cultivators at the same realm.
In a flash, Ye Chuan returned home.
He looked up—clear skies, not a cloud in sight.
Then he checked his house—no signs of being struck by lightning.
Good thing he retreated fast. The residual shockwaves from that tribulation lightning alone could’ve flattened this entire urban village.
Even Little Black’s doghouse wouldn’t have survived.
"Chuan Chuan!" As soon as Ye Chuan appeared at the doorstep, a voice called out from behind. He turned and saw Luo Xi jogging toward him.
"Chuan Chuan, did you see that just now? The sky went completely dark!"
"Uh…"
"Is some terrifying monster about to appear?" Luo Xi tugged at Ye Chuan’s sleeve. "Like the end of the world or something!"
"The end of the world…" Ye Chuan chuckled helplessly before explaining what had just happened.
When she learned it was Ye Chuan’s doing, Luo Xi let out a relieved sigh and patted her backpack. "Oh, so it was just you making a scene? I thought another terrifying spatial rift was opening."
"Did it scare you?" Ye Chuan teased.
"Not really. After all, Chuan Chuan can protect us." Luo Xi blinked playfully, giving him a knowing look.
"Wait, no—I should be the one working hard to protect Chuan Chuan!" She quickly shook her head.
"Catching up to me might be a bit tough," Ye Chuan said.
After all, Luo Xi’s current realm was far behind his, and with his rapid cultivation speed, she couldn’t keep up.
But the Spirit Gathering Array at home was always running, and with occasional critical rewards boosting her realm, reaching a decent level wouldn’t be too hard for her.
"Who says I can’t catch up? Realms have an upper limit, right?" Luo Xi wasn’t worried at all. She wagged a finger. "I’ll just climb step by step—sooner or later, I’ll reach you, Chuan Chuan."
Seeing her optimism, Ye Chuan reached out and pinched her nose lightly. "Sure."
"Hehe."
Now that she knew the earlier disturbance was Ye Chuan’s doing, Luo Xi went back to cooking with the ingredients she’d bought.
At dinner, everyone naturally brought up the earlier apocalyptic darkness.
"It was super scary! Felt like some insane lightning strike," Lan Xiaoke said. "Wait, that was you, Ye Chuan?"
"Tribulation lightning?" Ke Ning pondered. "Strange… Could it be a magnetic field shift inducing charged particle motion, creating intermittent thunderstorms?"
"Let’s not try to explain tribulation lightning with science," Ye Chuan said.
Can’t exactly have cybernetic cultivation, right?
"Ye Chuan, you’ve reached the Realm of Enlightenment too?" Bai Qianshuang’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
She had only reached this realm after inheriting the Empress’s legacy.
How did Ye Chuan break through so quickly?
Seeing Bai Qianshuang’s bewildered expression, Ye Chuan just smiled. "Luck, luck…"
"I’m… really curious about your physique," Bai Qianshuang murmured, though she didn’t press further.
Her focus was on the Empress’s legacy—just comprehending a fraction of it had already brought her immense benefits.
After the uneventful dinner, Ye Chuan returned to his room.
He pulled out his phone and checked his stats—
[Name: Ye Chuan
Realm: Early-stage Enlightenment
Special Physique: Primordial Indestructible Body (Supreme)
Status: Auto-cultivating. Time remaining until mid-stage Enlightenment: 999 days (affected by techniques, spiritual roots, and physique)]
Not bad.
No need to worry about leveling speed either—Qian Shuang’s progress was fast enough.
He’d just sync with her.
So before dinner, he’d repeatedly reminded Bai Qianshuang to cultivate diligently.
"Alright, time for business."
It was time to deal with Qin Tianya.
Since he’d abruptly "logged off," Qin Tianya was still stuck in combat mode.
But now, Ye Chuan had reached the Realm of Enlightenment.
Going back now? That’d be a total mismatch.
Ye Chuan waited in bed until midnight, when the system refreshed.
The moment the clock struck twelve, he eagerly tapped in.
Tianxuan Continent—activate!
Darkness.
Then, the roar of wind—an overwhelming pressure forcing his vision to clear.
Before him, a mountain came crashing down, spanning thousands of meters like a falling world.
The same mountain Qin Tianya had hurled at him and Bai Qianshuang before he’d logged off.
"Hmph." A mocking grin curled on Ye Chuan’s lips.
He raised a hand.
The next second, the mountain vanished—straight into his inventory.
Yep, anything could be stored.
"Takes up nine slots, but whatever. Inventory’s infinite anyway." He glanced at his backpack, then heard a startled voice.
"Spatial manipulation?"
Qin Tianya stood not far away, arms crossed, his expression puzzled.
"Hm?" The next moment, he realized Bai Qianshuang had disappeared.
Impossible!
Qin Tianya immediately unleashed his divine sense, yet Bai Qianshuang’s presence was nowhere to be found. Under the lockdown of his formation, how could anyone vanish right under his nose?
"Unless…"
"You used spatial arts to teleport her away?" Qin Tianya’s gaze sharpened as it landed on Ye Chuan.
"Fine. Since you chose to stay, that means you can’t escape, right?"
"Escape? Why would I?" Ye Chuan replied.
"You? A mere Spirit Transformation cultivator?" Qin Tianya’s eyes filled with disdain. "Challenging a Mahayana? Like an ant shaking a tree."
His patience had worn thin.
"Half-step Mahayana? In the end, you’re still just at the Realm of Enlightenment." Ye Chuan’s voice was calm. Then, he stopped concealing it—his Enlightenment-level aura erupted in full.
With multiple buffs stacked, his spiritual energy surged like a pillar of light, surpassing even Qin Tianya’s!
"Sorry, but my stats are higher than yours." Ye Chuan drew his spirit sword.
"What?!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
