Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 203 A Century Passes By, Family and Breakthrough

On the original star, Zhou Yang's figure flashed rapidly, and in a very short time, he had explored the entire original star.

He then flashed to a vortex passage and entered the next primordial star through it.

Now that his ability to teleport to the original star has been exposed, he no longer hides it and usually uses teleportation to travel quickly.

In this way, his speed of exploring primordial stars increased dramatically.

In just over a year, he had visited all 10081 original stars.

To his disappointment, although he could sense a mysterious charm on every primordial star, he was unable to truly grasp that charm even after exploring all of them.

"Well, perhaps it's just as Master Chaos City said, one cannot possibly seize all opportunities, so I don't need to be too demanding."

He comforted himself in this way.

In the days that followed, he really didn't delve too deeply into the subject, but instead focused his energy on perfecting the Sword River Luo and the Reincarnation Divine Armor.

With the Chaos City Lord mobilizing the entire Hong Alliance's resources to search for the remains, and even directly negotiating with the high-ranking members of several other factions with which they had good relations, the collection of the remaining parts of the Sword River Luo was proceeding in an orderly manner.

A month after the Battle of the Sword Tomb, Jianhe Luo's second divine sword was delivered to Zhou Yang.

This was obtained by the Lord of Chaos City in exchange for three high-grade treasure armors from a universe lord under the Ancestral God Sect.

Although Jianhe Luo's divine sword is just an ordinary treasure, it is an indispensable component of top-tier domain-level treasures. Naturally, anyone or any force that obtains it will take the opportunity to demand a price, and the cost of exchanging it will be much higher.

However, there was some good news as well.

More than 20 years later, Luo Feng, who had successfully obtained the "Armor of Calamity", began to venture into the Primordial Star. Two years later, he successfully obtained the Sword River Luo Divine Sword during a treasure hunt.

Zhou Yang didn't stand on ceremony with Luo Feng and directly took the divine sword into his possession.

However, no related news came for a long time after that, and it is unknown whether the other divine swords have not yet appeared or have been hidden by others.

Zhou Yang did not simply wait, but instead set about further improving the Reincarnation Divine Armor.

He had only added seventy-odd scales, which greatly enhanced the power of the Reincarnation Divine Armor, making him realize the potential of this treasure.

Soon he will be venturing into the Cosmic Sea, where a large number of the most powerful individuals from the three eras of reincarnation have gathered.

Those powerful individuals are extremely strong in terms of both their own strength and the level of their treasures. There are even sixth-order universe lords who possess the most powerful treasures!

Compared to those top experts, Zhou Yang's current strength is still somewhat immature, and the only treasure he can boast of is the Samsara Divine Armor.

If he could replenish the missing 10081 scales of the Reincarnation Armor before entering the Cosmic Sea, further enhancing its power, it would undoubtedly provide considerable assistance to his trials in the Cosmic Sea.

Over the years, he has roamed the Primordial Star and acquired many ordinary treasures as well as a large number of precious treasures.

Apart from a few rarer items, he placed the rest in the Yu Bao Hall in Hongmeng City to exchange for materials to refine the scales of the Reincarnation Divine Armor from all the Venerables and Immortal members of Hongmeng.

The true owner behind this "Yu Bao Tang" is none other than the Dragon Lord of the Virtual Universe Company lineage.

Zhou Yang greeted the Lord of Dragon Journey, and even the storage fee was waived. The Lord of Dragon Journey even specially arranged for a Universe Venerable to help him handle these matters.

This gave Zhou Yang complete free time.

He has now reached the limit in his understanding of the laws of space and time, and is only one step away from breaking through the last 'window paper' to truly enter the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

At this stage, seclusion and contemplation are no longer necessary; perhaps just a chance encounter can lead to a natural breakthrough.

Over the next century, aside from occasionally venturing to the Primordial Star, Zhou Yang would casually collect some ordinary treasures and precious artifacts and then exchange them at the "Yu Bao Tang" for materials to refine the scales of the Reincarnation God Armor.

The rest of the time he spends on Earth with his family or occasionally meets up with some old friends for a chat, and his days are quite leisurely.

In this leisurely atmosphere, a century has passed like flowing water.

On this day, in the courtyard of Villa No. 188 in Mingyue Community, Zhou Yang was chatting quietly with his family.

Zhou Yong and his wife Wang Shumei sat opposite him, one of them holding a few thin bamboo strips, seemingly casually weaving something.

One of them held a few pieces of floral fabric, and with a silver needle flying through his hand, a small floral fabric garment was quickly formed.

Beside Zhou Yang sat a beautiful woman dressed in a lotus-colored embroidered dress.

The woman had long, jet-black hair cascading over her shoulders. She had delicate features, a straight nose, and bright, lively eyes that revealed a touch of girlish charm.

However, her lower abdomen was slightly protruding, adding to her plumpness.

The woman was the former "Dream Queen," now known as Li Qingmeng.

During the period when Zhou Yang had just returned to Earth from the extraterrestrial battlefield, she often visited Mingyue Community and got along very well with Zhou Yang's mother, Wang Shumei.

Even when Zhou Yang reclaimed ownership of Earth and relocated all the alien immigrants from Earth, she did not leave with the main group. Instead, she used her relationship with Zhou Yang's family to buy an island on Earth to live on.

Later, as time went on, Zhou Yang was no longer some kind of vegetarian monk, and things naturally fell into place.

"Qingmeng, look, isn't this little outfit cute?"

Wang Shumei picked up a newly finished floral jacket and showed it to Li Qingmeng.

"It's beautiful, beautiful! This is the first time I've ever seen someone make clothes by hand. Mom, you're amazing!"

Li Qingmeng's beautiful eyes crinkled with laughter as she showered her with praise.

"It's a pity, really. I didn't have time to learn these things when I was little, because the Great Rebirth happened. Now I have to figure it out on my own. If Yangyang's grandma were still here, her skills would be amazing."

Wang Shumei was still feeling regretful.

"Yangyang's grandma is also a good cook."

Zhou Yong chimed in from the side.

"Okay, all good, alright, get back to what you're doing."

Wang Shumei rolled her eyes at Zhou Yong, annoyed.

Zhou Yong had already broken through to the Immortal realm with the accumulation of a large amount of resources, but after being glared at by her, he was too embarrassed to speak.

Zhou Yang, sitting to the side, watched this scene with a smile, feeling that everything before him was so pure and natural.

What is the greatest pursuit of a cultivator? Is it immense power? Or eternal life?

No, in Zhou Yang's view, it should be that you are free to roam freely in the vast world, and when you are tired, you can turn around and see the beacon called "home".

It is precisely because one has something to care about that one can remain steadfast in times of distress.

At this moment, Zhou Yang's consciousness seemed to have undergone a baptism, becoming purer and clearer.

His immense mental power became even more readily at his command, his five senses became increasingly acute and clear, and his thinking became more relaxed and agile.

Along with that, a checkpoint that had blocked his way for so long collapsed with a deafening roar.
