I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

“Boom!”

The ground shook. Somewhere in the wilderness, a huge earthquake seemed to have occurred.

Countless rocks and dust filled the sky. The mountains were shaking, and the alien bird creatures were fleeing, their voices echoing for hundreds of kilometers.

“Village Chief, the elder of the Hong clan was killed with a single strike. It was done by a god from the Infinite Island Group. It’s said that he searched the entire Hong clan stronghold and left without taking anything with him.”

Thunder Village was a large village in the wilderness. There were more than 1,000 households living there in total. A young man from the village patrol team rushed into the village chief’s house and quickly reported the information he had obtained.

At this moment, all the men from Thunder Village had gathered at the village chief’s house. Each of them carried a spear, saber, and sword with them. Everyone had felt the huge earthquake earlier and was already prepared.

“Let’s go. Hurry up and charge. First come, first served,” the village chief shouted.

In the past year, all kinds of rumors had spread. Everyone knew that a huge commotion was inevitable. After some thought, the village chief of Thunder Village roughly understood the reason for this and immediately gave the order without hesitation.

Soon, a group of villagers charged towards the Hong clan stronghold along a small path in the forest with weapons in their hands.

The Hong clan was a city-level faction. There were dozens of villages within its territory, and it was also the core of this area. In addition, there were city walls built around it, similar to a small city.

However, 100 years ago, before the elder of the Hong clan rose up, the Hong clan stronghold was originally known as the Hong clan’s village. At that time, it was not much different from the surrounding villages.

In the past 100 years, the Hong clan’s village developed into the Hong clan stronghold. Relying on the powerful elder’s strength, they took in the young blood of dozens of surrounding villages.

Therefore, most of the villages had already been simmering with rage towards the Hong clan. They were just waiting for an opportunity.

“Hurry up, everyone.”

The village chief of Thunder Village urged the team, afraid that if they were late, nothing would be left behind.

The god from the Infinite Island Group did not care about the Hong clan’s treasures, but that did not mean that the surrounding villages felt the same way.

Although all the villages in the surrounding area had a long-standing grudge against the Hong clan stronghold, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rob them of their resources. They would have to rely on their own abilities to see what they could get.

In the wilderness, there were countless towering mountains and endless forests. Some thick trees provided natural cover, and their crowns reached into the sky.

Some of the vines that grew throughout the forest wrapped around the mountain like tree roots. They were like horned dragons.

The people from Thunder Village ran all the way to the Hong clan stronghold.

They were the third village to arrive. A fight had already broken out in the stronghold, and it was just the right time.

Other than the dead elder, the remaining core members of the Hong clan stronghold were about the same level as the village chiefs of the surrounding villages. In the face of the upcoming siege of dozens of villages, they were not a threat at all.

There was no need to communicate in advance or discuss a plan. Other villages rushed over one after another to join in the battle to loot and destroy the Hong clan stronghold.

...

“By the way, have you chosen a place for your people to settle down in the abandoned world?”

Gao Shuai asked casually as he studied the teleportation formation in the huge rock.

Chen Yiming didn’t reply immediately.

Previously, he had intended to choose the Heaven Suppressing City for this purpose. However, now that the city ruler had already rebuilt the city, and he had taken the huge rock which was at the center of the chaos, the location he had originally thought of was clearly not suitable.

The higher-ups among the humans from the blue planet thought that they were far from strong enough to deal with this world where gods were everywhere and extraordinary creatures were thought to be too weak.

Therefore, they would temporarily settle down on a planet outside the abandoned world before taking their time to plan their next move.

At this thought, Chen Yiming asked, “I haven’t made a final decision. Do you have any suitable locations to recommend?”

Gao Shuai grinned. “Why don’t we modify this huge rock and turn it into a secret realm in the otherworld?”

“This way, you don’t have to worry too much about protecting them from the many enemies. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.”

The black dog barked twice.

This was a good idea. If the strongest member rarely went out, what was the use of having it around? It was too weak and could not even be a guard dog.

On the other hand, if he hid his people in the secret realm in the otherworld, his subordinates would naturally be fighting with him in the outside world. Then, the black dog’s ability would have a lot of use against the various array formations and barriers.

Chen Yiming weighed the pros and cons.

Gao Shuai had naturally made this suggestion because he wanted to test out the huge rock.

This was a good idea, but what about the success rate? Would it be possible to destroy the internal array formation structure if they rashly moved it around? Furthermore, the stability of the secret realm in the otherworld still needed to be considered.

The actual coordinates of the otherworld were located in the space-travel distortion. The surface of the space was connected to the abandoned world, and it was equivalent to being an external existence.

This way, if something happened to the secret realm in the otherworld, there was a possibility that it would fall into the space-travel distortion and disappear.

Once such a dangerous situation occurred, even with the help of the Hidden Universe divine power, it could not be said to be foolproof.

After all, there must be a large number of mysterious existences in the space-travel distortion that he could not deal with at his current level. Otherwise, after he had sent the person with twin pupils into the space-travel distortion, the city ruler would not have prioritized saving him immediately.

Chen Yiming remembered that the city ruler had left without hesitation even though he knew that Gao Shuai might take the opportunity to steal his treasures. In the end, the treasure vault had been completely destroyed.

Gao Shuai seemed to have sensed Chen Yiming’s concerns and smiled. “Since I dare to suggest it, I’m naturally confident. I won’t trick you.”

“Before I left the Gao clan, I asked our clan leader for a large number of half-finished array formations. I thought that if I found suitable objects to hold them, I could immediately become a combatant.”

“Other than a large number of killing arrays, there are also array formations to create secret realms in the otherworld.”

A half-finished array formation was an array formation engraved in a special crystal. It could be transferred at any time and fused into a suitable object.

In addition, the truly powerful array formations did not appear out of thin air. They either relied on special places like the earth vein or various divine materials to create them.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming felt a little relieved.

The array formation would not be drawn on the spot, so the risk would be reduced to a certain extent. However, there was still a certain risk in removing the array formation left behind by the Star Capturing Pavilion.

In essence, they still had to make a big move inside the huge rock, so they were back to square one. Gao Shuai would need to test it out.

However, Chen Yiming didn’t have any talent related to array formations. Other than Gao Shuai’s suggestion, he didn’t have any other way.

Gao Shuai’s suggestion was indeed an extremely suitable choice for the humans from the blue planet, other than the possible risks.

The secret realm in the otherworld was half independent from the abandoned world. Countless ordinary people from the blue planet could cultivate inside of it first. When they cultivated enough to withstand the environment in the abandoned world, they could consider exiting the secret realm to continue their training.

The secret realm in the otherworld was equivalent to a different kind of environment. The humans from the blue planet could adapt to the new environment more easily there.

Being hidden would also make it easier for Chen Yiming to stop his enemies. At the very least, he wouldn’t be in a situation where he would have to deal with enemies on multiple sides.

Chen Yiming nodded.

Gao Shuai’s eyes lit up, and his motivation increased to another level. He wanted to figure out the array formation left behind by the old immortals from the Star Capturing Pavilion as soon as possible.

After some discussion, the plan was that Chen Yiming would first bring the human spaceship fleet from the blue planet to a planet near the abandoned world.

At this point, the formation inside the special rock would have completed its role. Gao Shuai would erase and replace the array formation inside of it, turning it into a true secret realm in the otherworld.

Then, the human spaceship fleet from the blue planet would enter the spatial item that Gao Shuai had obtained from the city ruler and stay there for a short period of time.

After that, Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai would return to the abandoned world and choose a location to link to the secret realm in the otherworld. After that, the human spaceship fleet from the blue planet would go to the otherworld.

This plan avoided the problem that most of the humans from the blue planet could not withstand the environment in the abandoned world and allowed them to indirectly arrive on the abandoned world.

Due to the modification of the huge rock forming the space-travel portal, the idea of reconnecting the new planet and the blue planet could no longer be realized. Chen Yiming had to rely on himself to find another special rock.

...

On the Daxia spaceship, in the metaverse Experience Center in the A1 business district,

under Xiao Wu’s persuasion, two people arrived together. There was a sea of people at the venue, and a large number of game enthusiasts had gathered.

Today was the opening day of the closed beta in the metaverse. Other than those who had obtained a spot in the closed beta, only those who came to the experience hall could use the multifunction cabin to enter the virtual world.

In addition, they could also buy the first batch of multifunction cabins and obtain slots for the second closed beta.

The rules were that the first closed beta test would last for a week. After that, the second closed beta test would last for a month. Finally, the open beta test would begin.

At that time, everyone could use the multifunction cabins to enter the virtual world.

It could be said that the two closed beta tests were only a week apart. To a certain extent, this appeased those who could not obtain a spot in the first closed beta.

“It’s not impossible for you to be like that person in the legends, who has already shocked the world with a single move. However, cultivation also requires a balance between work and rest to relax your tense mind.”

“Perhaps after relaxing for a day, I can break through the bottleneck tomorrow,” Xiao Wu said.

Xiao Wu was Xiao Huajun’s good-for-nothing son. His name carried the word ‘Wu’, which meant martial arts. It was clear that his father had placed high hopes on him when he was born.

He was a streamer with average popularity in a gaming group. Although his eloquence and skills were average, he had relied on his spending habits to obtain a stable fanbase.

After all, there were always people who liked to watch others throw their money away. This was a type of stream that would never become outdated.

In addition, with a famous professor as his father, who also had a strong martial arts cultivation, his family background was extremely good. He could spend money easily.

“What kind of metaverse is this? Is it really as awesome as the rumors say? Can it help in cultivating martial arts?”

Li Yiming frowned. He still suspected that the publicity materials had exaggerated things, so he asked again.

Just as his father, Li Mingfu, had said, he was a cultivation fanatic. If not for Xiao Wu, a friend he had known since he was young, he would not have paid attention to the launch of the metaverse.

Cultivation was never a simple matter. There might be shortcuts, but not everyone had the ability to take them.

When someone at the side heard Li Yiming’s doubts, he immediately retorted, “Since you don’t believe in it, why are you still fighting for a spot in the closed beta? Get lost.”

With that, he waved his hand.

Li Yiming’s eyes narrowed when he heard this.

Xiao Wu quickly pulled Li Yiming away. Fighting was not allowed in the spaceships. Besides, there was a sea of people around them. They could just change to a different seat. There was no need to get into a fight.

The queue numbers were reserved online. There was no need to queue on the spot. One could enter the experience hall when their number was called after registering with the staff at the entrance.

After choosing another spot to wait for their turn, Xiao Wu finally calmed Li Yiming down.

Now that he had successfully bought the multifunction cabins, obtaining the slots to the second closed beta test was the top priority. If he got into a conflict with someone who was hot-headed and was taken away by the police, he would lose his chance.

If he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait for the open beta in a month. For a game streamer like Xiao Wu, this would mean that his popularity and fans would be snatched away by others in the same line of work.

Time passed by slowly.

To game enthusiasts, everyone hoped that the people in front of them would be able to quickly finish their experience.

Xiao Wu explained to Li Yiming again the principle of how the metaverse supported one’s cultivation.

Actually, during the time when one’s body was resting, one could enter the virtual world of the metaverse and continue to cultivate the details of techniques.

This was to a certain extent a substitute for sleeping. Experts recommended that for a normal person, it could replace about half of their sleep time on average.

For warriors, the effect was even more obvious. They could spend more than half of their sleep time continuing to cultivate in the virtual world, creating a new era in cultivation.

“Number 754.”

“Number 854.”

“Number 997.”

...

The staff continuously announced the queue numbers.

Xiao Wu had been reciting the number 1024 in his heart for a long time. This was his number, and it being called meant that it was finally his turn to enter the experience hall. His face was a little red from the anticipation.

At this moment, the staff suddenly stopped calling out the queue numbers. There was a commotion at the scene, and many game enthusiasts were anxious. Could there be a problem?

“This is the spaceship’s command center! This is the spaceship’s command center!”

A broadcast sounded in various areas of the spaceship. First, it emphasized the unit they belonged to twice.

“All citizens who are stranded outside, return home immediately. The spaceship is about to enter the space-travel passage. There might be some turbulence. Don’t panic and don’t run around.”

After the announcement, the crowd erupted into a commotion.

What day was it today? Why did the spaceship suddenly enter the space-travel passage? Was the unknown space-travel passage something that humans from the blue planet could enter at will?

Countless people were puzzled. Why couldn’t they live a stable life? What were the higher-ups of the various countries doing?

Soon, the crowd could no longer stay even if they wanted to. Teams of armed police officers walked onto the streets one after another and forcefully dispersed the people who had gathered. Some people who were rash and did not follow the instructions were brought away.

At the same time, the launch of the metaverse was forced to be suspended. There was no news on the official website when the server would be opened again. The most discussed topic in various forums was the space-travel passage.
