Transmigrating into a book and receiving a system, cannon fodder rises to power by stepping on schem

"You go first."

Chen An's rare act of humility moved the group to tears, but they made no comment and left without looking back.

Chen An shook her head as she watched their departing figures. Only after they had all disappeared did she survey her surroundings. After confirming that no one was around, she took out an internal energy pill and swallowed it.

Almost instantly, the spiritual energy in her meridians surged, and she broke through to the Great Perfection of Meridian Opening, becoming a cultivator at the Lesser Perfection of Core Formation.

[Rewards for achieving minor success in Core Formation: Talent +3200, Martial Power +3200, Speed ​​+160 uses of Mind Reading, 9600 high-grade spirit stones, 96 array stones, 96 high-grade pills, +8 to the top-grade Xuan Iron Sword, the cultivation technique "Wind Rising Technique", Health +640, Golden Silk Robe +16, "Ink Ning Jing Yuan Tu" +1, Spaceship +4, Temporary Tent +2, Iron Xuan Golden Armor Man +100.]

Pick up within three days

The Iron-Armored Warriors are forged from Xuan Iron, and each one possesses the strength to reach the Great Perfection of Core Formation. With a hundred high-level cultivators protecting them, success is just around the corner.

At the same time, a golden pill the size of a quail egg condensed in her abdomen, with two characters "Chen An" faintly engraved on it.

She looked around again to make sure no one was there, then opened the book of formations. The first few pages contained techniques for concealing one's aura.

She quickly arranged the six array stones, and after transmitting her spiritual power, she left the array at the cave entrance.

Everything here looks exactly the same as before from the outside; even a cultivator at the Two Elements Realm might not be able to tell the difference.

As for the three from the Dushi Sect, we can only hope that they cannot be found.

Once she caught up with the group, Qingyue was the first to notice Chen An's difference. She exclaimed in surprise, "You've reached the Core Formation stage?"

Chen An nodded: "I sensed something unusual just now, so I broke through by myself so as not to affect you."

"Impossible! How could I not sense someone breaking through?" Qingyue persisted, grabbing Chen An and demanding an explanation.

Mu Jingtai frowned slightly. Although he had also benefited from Qingyue's kindness earlier, he couldn't really praise Qingyue's character. He sighed and covered for Chen An, saying, "I can feel it. You can't feel it because your cultivation level is low. Don't keep blaming other people."

Qingyue trembled with anger. So what if her cultivation level was high? With her talent, there was no way she couldn't reach the Two Elements Realm.

She rolled her eyes at Chen An and Mu Jingtai, and continued walking inside, her mind preoccupied with Chen An's breakthrough the whole way.

Even if he didn't feel it because his cultivation level was too low, Chen An's breakthrough was still too fast. His talent was far superior to Chen An's, and he would still need some time to break through.

Even if Chen An gets some kind of lucky break, he can't possibly have it as easy as she does.

After much thought, she came to a conclusion: Chen An had been hiding his strength all along, and was indeed a despicable person hired by Qing Xuan and his mother.

Chen An habitually listened to Qing Yue's thoughts, and only now did she understand why Qing Yue had initially wanted to deal with her. However, since things had come to this point, the reason didn't matter anymore. The other party had the intention of ruining her, and she couldn't continue to be kind.

The surrounding caves became increasingly lower, making it seem as if the tank was designed for it, allowing for very smooth movement.

The rest of the people bent over and followed the cave forward. They didn't know how much time had passed before they reached a dead end.

At the half-meter-high end, a strange blue light flickered. Tank and Fugui showed great interest in this light and rushed in despite Chen An's attempts to stop them.

The two spirit beasts vanished the moment they came into contact with the blue light.

Mu Jingtai stepped forward to check. The blue light was like a vortex, absorbing the surrounding energy. He stared at the center, completely unaware that the blue light was gradually taking control of him.

Just as he was in a daze, Qingyue stepped forward and pushed Mu Jingtai to the ground.

The moment the connection was severed, the power within the blue light began to surge outwards. The group managed to escape, but were then engulfed by the explosively growing blue light.

The massive tremor caused Chen An to faint. When he woke up, he was surrounded by darkness.

After she used magic to illuminate what was in front of her, the wisp of energy didn't last long before it was completely swallowed up by the black smoke.

Strange energy began to fluctuate, and a light appeared in the distance, exactly the same light seen at the entrance.

Following the movement of the light, she began to walk forward in the darkness.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but her consciousness began to blur, and her body began to feel heavier and heavier. She reached for her storage ring, but the ring disappeared, and the material of her clothes changed.

She wore a synthetic fiber sweater that only reached her waist, and blue jeans on her legs—the kind of outfit she always chose when she was on Earth.

For some reason, she began to feel disoriented, as if transmigrating into the book had never happened.

What is real and what is fake has become elusive and uncertain.

The surroundings were empty, as if a hole had been punched in her heart that could never be filled. She began to panic and quickened her pace in pursuit of the blue light.

The blue light seemed to be teasing her, and its speed began to increase.

As she ran, her right leg began to ache, her body began to sway, and her skin began to dry and wrinkle.

The oppressive atmosphere made her feel suffocated. If Chen An hadn't transmigrated, and the original owner had survived, she might be the old woman she is now.

Space is distorted by time, and energy in every place is devouring everything.

[Host is under attack. This is an illusion. Host, wake up!]

"Illusion."

After struggling to utter those two words, the soreness in her body instantly disappeared. She was no one, and there were no "what ifs" in the world. What happened, happened.

She silently repeated, "I can't be influenced, I can't be influenced," and sat down cross-legged.

His spiritual power, combined with his cultivation, surged out from his body, isolating him from everything around him. Those illusory and fleeting things only briefly escaped before frantically trying to penetrate Chen An's body again.

She struggled to stay calm, and soon she realized that her divine power was not pure enough.

Spiritual power and cultivation have been combined, but the two still repel each other. Only by comprehending true divine power can one break free.

The others were still wandering around following the blue light, except for Qingyue, whose posture was exactly the same as Chen An's, constantly circulating the two powers, trying to combine them.

However, neither of them seemed to be having an easy time. The two completely different forces could not maintain a balance and were intertwined, yet they were constantly fighting.

The two hovered on the edge of fusion and balance, sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and incorporating their insights into their power.

This balance was maintained for a full three hours.

A pure white light floated in his palm, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Qingyue was lifted out of the darkness by a pair of large hands. When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was in the place where she had just entered the cave.

Everyone was here, including Chen An, who was sitting cross-legged but had not opened her eyes.

Chen An has divine power, and so does she. At this moment, she is certain that she has won, and the others will not wake up for a while.

A wicked thought took root in her mind. With a dagger in her hand, she staggered toward Chen An.

Raising the dagger, her nemesis remained calm and composed. Without the slightest hesitation, she plunged the dagger down, blood spurting out, but it didn't land on her face.

She frantically stabbed the person in front of her with a dagger until the person stopped bleeding.

The person watching her from afar blinked, then released a ball of light towards her, causing her to fall into an eternal sleep.
