When the Side Character Gets a System and Travels through Difference Worlds

The Beauty System handed her a mirror right on cue. Tan You glanced at it. ’A Snake Spirit, huh? This chin...’

She quickly looked away. "Put it away. I need to set up some security measures."

The Beauty System asked, "Host, what are you going to do? You can’t use Spiritual Power right now..."

Tan You pulled a few Spirit Stones from the original owner’s storage space. "My body can’t store Spiritual Power right now, but I can still draw on the ambient Spiritual Energy. Even though it’s thin, as long as I have some Spiritual Power, I have a fighting chance."

"Besides, a living person isn’t going to die just because they need to pee. There’s always a way."

The Beauty System, seeming to only half-understand, said, "Host is an expert in Magic Arrays. I forgot about that."

Tan You raised an eyebrow. "I wonder if the Magic Arrays of this Western Fantasy World have anything in common with the Arrays from the Cultivation World."

With that thought, Tan You flung out six Spirit Stones. Her right hand rapidly gathered the ambient Spiritual Power, and she quickly set up a concealment Array on the spot.

The moment the Array took shape, a smile spread across Tan You’s face, growing wider and wider.

"Just as I thought. Heaven always leaves a way out."

All the Beauty System could do was CLAP enthusiastically. "Host, you’re amazing!"

Tan You ignored it. With a flick of her finger, dozens of supreme-grade Spirit Stones appeared around her. It was an incredible luxury to use supreme-grade Spirit Stones for an Array, but with her life on the line, Tan You couldn’t afford to care.

The Beauty System watched Tan You set up the Array, its mouth falling open wider and wider. "Host, this is the Array the God of Light used to seal the Dark God... Are you trying to lock yourself in?"

Tan You rolled her eyes. "Of course not. If I can set it up, I can get out. What I need right now is absolute security. Anyone who stumbles into this Array is guaranteed a one-way trip."

"I won’t go looking for trouble, but if trouble comes knocking, I’ll be more than happy to oblige."

Tan You had long since deconstructed the God Trapping Array, so setting it up again was second nature to her. The only difference was that while the Dark God had been sealed, Tan You was walking into the trap willingly.

Just as the God Trapping Array took shape, several peals of thunder echoed across the sky. Then, a small, silver point of light appeared at the very apex of the Array.

Tan You, the country bumpkin, saw it too. She just frowned. ’Come to think of it, I didn’t see this little speck of light when I unsealed the Dark God. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. It won’t stop me from hiding in the Array to cultivate.’

With the Array complete, Tan You couldn’t hold on any longer. The purple-robed female cultivator vanished, replaced by a massive Purple Ring Snake.

Tan You slithered for a moment, coiling her body up like a mosquito incense coil before immersing herself in cultivation...

While Tan You was absorbed in her cultivation, the Beauty System had nothing to do. It had permission to enter and exit the Array freely, so while Tan You cultivated and healed her wounds, it roamed about the outskirts of the Ten Directions Great Mountain.

Tan You paid it no mind. The little system was good at escaping, so she didn’t need to worry. Besides, the area was full of demonic beasts below the third rank; catching the little system would be no easy feat.

Time passed slowly. Every day, Tan You either absorbed the moon’s essence for Body Refining or engaged in all sorts of death-defying antics. Of course, what the Beauty System saw as courting death was, in fact, Tan You’s Body Refining.

This included, but was not limited to, lifting massive boulders day after day to temper her muscles and bones, or standing beneath a waterfall to withstand the crushing force of the water... In short, there were a million ways to court death, and Tan You used whichever method worked.

After she had healed the original owner’s injuries, Tan You even had the wild idea of using Heavenly Tribulation for Body Refining. Her core principle was simple: if it doesn’t kill you, train until it almost does.

Eventually, Tan You went so far as to directly provoke Heavenly Thunder for Body Refining. In the real world, she would never have dared to do such a thing. But this was a Cultivation World. Not only was it harmless, but getting struck by the Heavenly Thunder actually made Tan You’s body stronger.

Starting Body Refining from scratch was undoubtedly excruciating. It was like having every bone in her body shattered, only to be re-fused, re-tempered, and re-forged.

Especially later, when she used Heavenly Tribulation for Body Refining, Tan You was left with split skin and mangled flesh almost every time. But she had no choice. She had to survive and get stronger. Otherwise, how would she ever get revenge on her enemies?

By constantly courting death in this manner, Tan You finally tempered the original owner’s body to its absolute limit. This "limit," however, was merely the limit of a Silver Ring Snake. As for advancing further...

Tan You didn’t know what path lay ahead; all she knew was to keep tempering her body.

After circling once within the Array, Tan You let out a long hiss toward the sky, the six silver rings on her neck flashing brilliantly. When she had first arrived, the silver rings on the original owner’s body were dim and dull, even showing signs of regressing back to a Purple Ring Snake.

But after Tan You healed her injuries and pushed through her grueling Body Refining, the silver rings grew more and more brilliant as her body became stronger. In any case, Tan You felt she was now much more powerful than the original owner had been before losing her inner core.

’When you’re immune to spells, physical attacks are always the deadliest weapon.’

The Beauty System could only trail after Tan You, applauding. "Host, what’s next? You’ve already been here for ninety-seven years."

"Ninety-seven years?" Tan You raised an eyebrow. "It’s been that long?"

The Beauty System replied, "It has. You’re really patient, Host."

Tan You just smiled, flicked her tail, and transformed into her human form. Soon, the purple-robed female cultivator the Beauty System had seen once before reappeared in the center of the Array.

Compared to her previous weakness, her transformation was nothing short of earth-shattering.

Her once-pale face was now flushed with vitality, a clear sign that Tan You had nourished the original owner’s body well over the years. Her once-delicate, willow-like frame had also become much more robust; one glance was enough to tell that her body held immense power.

Tan You clenched her fist and smashed it into the Array’s core. The God Trapping Array, which had protected her for nearly a hundred years, shattered. The dozens of Spirit Stones surrounding it flew toward her. With a wave of her left hand, she collected them all.

She weighed the supreme-grade Spirit Stones in her hand before returning them to her storage space. Supreme-grade Spirit Stones weren’t single-use items. As long as they still contained some Spiritual Energy, they would slowly absorb more from the environment.

After a century of powering the Array, most of the Spiritual Energy within the supreme-grade Spirit Stones was depleted, leaving them at a level comparable to high-grade Spirit Stones. Tan You didn’t need them for now, so she would just let them quietly absorb the ambient Spiritual Energy.

Stepping out of the God Trapping Array, Tan You gazed at the desolate landscape in a hundred-li radius. She then extended her Divine Sense to its maximum range. ’There isn’t a single living creature’s aura nearby?’

The Beauty System prodded her with a small paw. "Ever since you started using Heavenly Tribulation for Body Refining, Host, the demonic beasts around the Array have been getting scarcer and scarcer. They were afraid of getting caught in the crossfire. After so long, the demonic beasts in your territory have all but vanished."
