Among all the heavens, I, Xiao Yan, did not use any cheat codes.

Chapter 2: Dou Qi Continent? The Myriad Realms!

"So, does that mean I'm that profound?"

That night, lying in bed, Xiao Yan recalled Yao Lao's interpretation of his words during the day, and a slight twitch appeared on his lips.

Although he wanted to say that he was just saying it casually, he figured that the old doctor probably wouldn't believe him.

This trivial matter did not linger in Xiao Yan's mind for long before it was quickly forgotten.

Feeling the Dou Qi flowing through his body, Xiao Yan was in an exceptionally joyful mood.

Three years! Three years! Finally, I can experience this feeling of abundant battle qi on the Dou Qi Continent once again!

He was overjoyed that he had regained what he had lost out of spite.

Xiao Yan glanced down at the ring that Yao Chen had once again fallen into a light sleep to recover from his injuries, and raised an eyebrow.

Unlike before when the reason was unknown, this time Yao Chen was only absorbing the scattered fighting energy within his body, which would no longer hinder his cultivation in the slightest.

"Finally, I can cultivate battle qi in the main world, instead of having to practice it locally every time I project it into the heavens..."

With a sigh, Xiao Yan closed his eyes and shook his head.

Consciousness enters the depths of the spiritual world, gradually delving deeper along the mysterious connections.

When Xiao Yan opened his eyes again, the scenery around him was completely different.

This is a mysterious space filled with gray fog.

With his hands behind his head, Xiao Yan strolled forward, surveying the familiar scene, exactly as he had seen three years ago when his Dou Qi disappeared.

The entire space was vast and boundless, with endless gray mist surging in all directions. The ground where one stood was also formed from the condensation of gray mist.

Compared to the scene in my memory, the fog has become much thinner with the passage of time than when I last came, and I can see the scenery behind the fog.

Those were countless passages blocked by layers of mist, like a honeycomb.

Most of the entrances to the passageways were barely visible, except for two entrances where there was no mist.

"I knew I was the protagonist! Turns out I'm not a genius protagonist, nor a loser protagonist, but a damn multiverse protagonist..."

Looking at the two visible passages, Xiao Yan's thoughts drifted back to the past as he recalled the feelings he had when he first arrived three years ago.

Nearly fifteen years have passed since he transmigrated here. Rather than transmigrating, Xiao Yan feels it's more like reincarnation. Family and friendship have allowed him to fully integrate into this world, and the unfamiliar continent is no longer unfamiliar.

Aside from the underlying values ​​ingrained from his past life, Xiao Yan figured he wasn't much different from the people in this life.

Sometimes he would lament that if he had transmigrated a few years earlier, his personality would probably not be as unconventional as it is now, and he would probably be more like a native of the Dou Qi Continent.

And the current state... is probably the dying words brought about by the beautiful mental state of the Great Abstract Era of the past life...

This symptom became more pronounced three years ago after the disappearance of fighting spirit and the activation of the golden finger. It was originally latent, but it became dominant afterward. The distribution of the symptom is roughly 9331... cough cough.

Recalling that sudden, inexplicable thought, Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly. He thought to himself, "It's all Mendel's fault. He didn't study married women, he studied peas instead..."

Putting these irrelevant thoughts aside, Xiao Yan turned and looked up, surveying the gray mist space.

At the moment his fighting spirit disappeared, he arrived at this mysterious space through a mysterious connection deep within his spiritual world.

This time, however, Xiao Yan felt something completely different from before.

An uncontrollable upward turn of the corners of his mouth.

Debt-free is a relief! The mountain weighing on my shoulders is gone.

The appearance of the old doctor allowed him to cultivate battle qi in the main world without any constraints, naturally making his mindset more relaxed.

Looking at the increasingly thinning gray fog, and comparing it with the scene in his memory, Xiao Yan was in a great mood.

"The cooldown time for the next projection of the heavens is indeed as predicted, about half a year. It has nothing to do with whether the projection clone dies or not. I just don't know if it has anything to do with strength."

Since he awakened his cheat ability, he has projected the heavens twice through this gray mist space deep within his spiritual world.

Xiao Yan hadn't figured out the specific rules yet. The cooldown time after each activation of his ability varied, ranging from a year to half a year, seemingly related to his mental strength and cultivation level.

When one goes to other worlds, one becomes a projection that is completely identical to the original body.

That is, Xiao Yan's current state.

It was as if he himself were there, no different from his true self, except that external objects could not be taken there or brought back.

The projection timeframe is not clearly defined and can only be sensed in the dark. It fluctuates between six months and a year, while time in the real world is relatively stationary during the projection process.

When the time comes, or upon death, his consciousness will return.

However, there is a difference between the two. If the time limit is reached and he is still alive, he will integrate the state of the world he is in back into his body. The most direct manifestation of this is that he can bring back the battle qi he cultivated there, as well as the things that he has integrated into himself.

This wouldn't have been of much use to Xiao Yan in the past, since his Dou Qi was absorbed by Yao Lao as soon as he brought it back; only his physical and mental strength were somewhat stronger...

If one dies, they will return prematurely, bringing nothing back except their memories.

This was precisely where Xiao Yan's confidence came from, and also the reason why he was so angry that his teeth ached.

In other worlds, players can cultivate battle qi just like using mods, even in the gray fog space where they seem to have jumped out of the world. So why can't they cultivate any battle qi in the Battle Qi Continent?

This is utterly upside down!

Can't you cultivate battle qi in the main world?

Then go and train in the heavens!

You can even practice in the gray fog space, but unlike the projected heavens, practicing here is truly just a simulation.

The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the more his teeth itched, and he made another note of Yao Lao in his mental notebook.

I should tease the old man a bit more often.

"But to be fair, the old man's technique called the Burning Technique is indeed quite something. Even though I've exploded and died countless times, the suppressive power from those experiences can't compare to the Burning Technique's natural suppression and absorption of those violent forces..."

Recalling his feelings during the day, Xiao Yan clicked his tongue repeatedly.

In the gray fog space, where one can die at will without worrying about any consequences, Xiao Yan simulated various dangerous operations.

However, due to the limitations of the third stage of Dou Qi, if one wants to simulate high-intensity training every night, one must first spend some time retraining.

This is why he had the courage to swallow a huge and violent amount of energy in one go during the day to refine it.

He had gone through countless experiences of rebuilding his Dou Qi from the third stage.

But from now on, his cheat ability will be able to unleash its true power. This ability to continuously simulate real-life situations can only be truly utilized once he has acquired a certain level of strength.

According to Yao Lao, this Burning Technique seems to involve absorbing the violent energy of a strange fire, which is extremely dangerous, but for him, he has countless opportunities to simulate it.

He's practically a smiling tiger with two black sharks at his side; this Burning Technique seems tailor-made for him.

Besides that, the most important thing is that without the old man as a constraint, and with the cheat code he got from other worlds, he is finally about to enter a period of rapid development.

As he brushed his fingers through the gray mist and gazed at the two worlds he had visited, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow.

This time, it's like a fish entering the sea or a bird soaring into the sky; they are no longer bound by any constraints.

Gazing at the two passageways shimmering with light and shadow, a flash of reminiscence crossed Xiao Yan's eyes, "Under One Person and Naruto..."

"【Divine Techniques】, 【Samadhi True Fire】, 【Eight Gates Formation】, 【Complete Collection of Forbidden Techniques】... Tsk tsk tsk, I, Xiao, didn't use any cheats. These are all legal and compliant techniques."

Recalling his past experiences, a smile unconsciously appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.

All those past events... cough cough.

In the world of Under One Person, Xiao Yan spent almost a year with Ma Xianhong, the village chief of Biyou Village, and genuinely regarded him as a close friend. Naturally, he held nothing back from him.

Not only did he help clean up the house, but he also adjusted some strategies, using his unique weapon-refining skills to forge partnerships with some reclusive families and sects. He also conveniently set up a trap for Qu Tong, and although he didn't manage to kill her, he achieved his goal.

Because of the butterfly wings, Qing, who joined Biyou Village early and had not yet been trampled, has ignited the Samadhi True Fire. It seems that Wang is going to suffer a bit.

In the Naruto world...

"I wonder if Orochimaru-sensei will believe I'm still alive after I got carried away and accidentally got blown up by an explosive tag... Nawaki is still alive, so there shouldn't be any major problems... right?"

And then there's Might Guy, with Orochimaru-sensei's help...

The more Xiao Yan recalled, the more he wanted to go back to those two places where he had once formed bonds.

Unfortunately, he had tried before, but the passage had an invisible resistance. Through his intuition, Xiao Yan guessed the general idea and thought that once his strength reached a higher level, he might be able to project it again.

Based on the thin mist before them, the next projection of the heavens will be in the near future.

"Tsk tsk tsk, let's not think about that too much for now. Instead of thinking about those things, let's think about the expressions on those unruly people's faces when they see my battle qi recover to the seventh level overnight at the family test ceremony tomorrow."

As his consciousness returned to his body, Xiao Yan glanced at another bottle of Foundation Establishment Elixir on the bedside table and raised an eyebrow.

"Hehehehe, it's funny to think about..."
