Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 246 Watching the Storm Rise

The meeting in front of the Temple of the Giant Axe proceeded very quickly.

First, Luo Feng gave a general introduction to the emergence of the Donghe inheritance and the tests required to obtain it.

Subsequently, after discussions among the founders of the giant axe and a group of universe lords, they quickly selected the candidates to participate in the competition for the inheritance of the Broken Eastern River.

This team consists of a Universe Lord, nine Universe Venerables, and 103 Immortal Gods. The majority of the members are geniuses from the human race, but a few spots have also been allocated to a few more trustworthy races within the Hong Alliance.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Yang's son, Zhou Yi, also occupied one of the 103 immortal spots.

Zhou Yi has been cultivating for nearly 20,000 years.

Thanks to his outstanding talent and the abundant resources provided by being a member of the Primal Secret Realm and Zhou Yang's biological son, his cultivation path can be described as smooth sailing.

At this time, Zhou Yi had already become a leading figure among the younger generation of human geniuses after Zhou Yang and Luo Feng. He had even earned the title of "King of the Realm" in the outer battlefield thousands of years ago, so it was not surprising that he was selected for this team.

However, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a slight headache when he thought of his only son.

Zhou Yi's progress in cultivation didn't require much effort, but his personality was far too unconventional.

For example, more than three thousand years ago, after returning from the battlefield outside the realm, Zhou Yi actually used the title of the senior brother of the "Reincarnation Chaos Stele" lineage to start taking on disciples and teaching them on behalf of his master.

This resulted in Zhou Yang having more than a dozen cosmic-level "nominal disciples" under his name without even showing his face.

This matter caused quite a stir in Chaos City at the time, after all, becoming a disciple of a universe master, even a nominal disciple, was something that was extremely rare and unattainable.

Moreover, he was a disciple of the "Lord of Reincarnation," who was among the top-ranked cosmic lords of the human race. Naturally, this made him the envy of many!

There was even a Lord of the Universe who secretly sent a message to inquire whether Zhou Yang really had the idea of ​​taking on disciples, thinking of sending a few outstanding disciples from his clan to cultivate under his tutelage.

They didn't actually want their people to learn anything from Zhou Yang; they just wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him.

Zhou Yang was engrossed in studying the stone carvings in the Wanku Gorge caves at that time, and it was only then that he learned about the mess Zhou Yi had made. He immediately summoned him and gave him a severe scolding.

Although Zhou Yi's actions were later stopped, the dozen or so disciples who had already been guided to join Zhou Yang's sect could not be driven away, so they were tacitly accepted into the "Reincarnation Lineage" and temporarily trained under Zhou Yi's guidance.

However, with Zhou Yi's level of understanding of the laws at the King and Immortal level, he is more than capable of guiding some small guys at the cosmic level.

Of course, compared to his progress in cultivation, Zhou Yi's "achievements" in other areas made Zhou Yang's forehead veins throb.

I don't know if it's because his grandparents instilled some 'special' ideas in him when he was young, but this kid is much more proactive than Zhou Yang when it comes to relationships.

Almost every time he went out to explore, this guy would bring back one or two "female confidantes".

Now, if all his 'confidantes' lined up, they could probably circle the entire Mingyue residential area!

As for the children born to him by his concubines, they were so numerous that they gave Zhou Yang a headache.

Zhou Yi was quite proud of his "great achievements".

"Dad, you should go out and make your way in the world. Let me shoulder the responsibility of strengthening the family. After all, I'm the only son in four generations of our family!"

Although it was a headache, he was still his own son, so before leaving, Zhou Yang sent him a serious message with some instructions.

"The Cosmic Sea is fraught with danger. You must follow the instructions of Master Peng carefully on this journey and not act rashly. If you accidentally perish, even if I reverse time and space to revive you, some of your special opportunities will not be preserved."

This Hongmeng team, led by Lord Peng Gong, quickly set off. However, since they were departing from the primordial universe, it was estimated that it would take several hundred years to reach the location of the Tomb Ship.

While many forces throughout the cosmic sea and the primordial universe were going crazy for the inheritance of the Broken East River, Zhou Yang continued his journey in the core of the cosmic ship.

With the large number of maps that Luo Feng had previously obtained in the secret chamber of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, his route to the core area had been greatly optimized. Although it took a little longer than before, the safety had been greatly improved!

Therefore, for daily travel, Zhou Yang only needs to release a clone to control the palace's treasures.

His main body, along with his other avatars, were all in the time-accelerated zone of the new universe, focusing on cultivating and improving themselves.

The current limit of time acceleration in the new universe has reached nearly 10500 times.

Even in the miniature universe of the strongest being in the universe, the time acceleration zone that is usually used for the cultivation of future generations is generally at this speed.

New Universe, Earth, on Stone Island in the East China Sea.

Zhou Yang's figures, dressed in different armor and robes, were seen walking, sitting, or even lying down.

These are all powerful clones of Zhou Yang.

Each of the clones was focused on their own cultivation.

An avatar continued to deduce and comprehend the mysterious 'Chaos Secret Pattern', wanting to fully integrate it as soon as possible so as to grasp that trace of the Chaos Law's essence and thus step into the 'threshold' of the Chaos Law.

One of his avatars was studying the powerful secret runes on the "Dustless" divine sword and a large number of other top-tier treasures, comparing them with the treasure-refining heritage passed down by the Mountain Guest and his own understanding of the secret runes, hoping to use them as a reference to try to create a higher-level secret technique.

His true self, on the other hand, devoted all his energy to studying the 'Life Record'.

"The Secret Pattern Path and the Treasure Refining Path reinforce each other, and with my will already having broken through to the level of the strongest in the universe, my research speed on Chaos Secret Patterns has improved considerably. I think I'm not far from completely mastering them."

Zhou Yang murmured to himself, "Once I fully master the Chaos Runes, I should be able to comprehend even a trace of the 'Complete Chaos Laws.' At that time, using that trace of Chaos Intent to break through to True God will make the path to becoming an Eternal True God or even a Chaos Ruler much easier."

"Before that, I need to raise my divine power to a higher level as much as possible. It would be best if I could reach the 'perfect level' of 100,000 times. Even if I can't reach that, it should at least be the third level of 90,000 times or more."

"At that time, with that trace of chaotic intent in terms of laws and at least 9 times the power of a third-level god, breaking through both simultaneously should allow my combat strength to immediately rise to an extremely high level!"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but dream about it.

However, while he was filled with anticipation, he also harbored some hidden worries.

Whether starting from the path of laws or the path of divine power, the ultimate goal is to propel one's own divine kingdom into a miniature universe.

However, for Zhou Yang, there was no divine kingdom at all.

Or rather, as early as when he broke through from the Realm Lord to the Immortal level, he skipped the God Kingdom step and directly used the endless energy of his inner world as a foundation to forcibly penetrate the chaos and create a new universe.

Now that he already has a universe, how will he promote the evolution of the divine kingdom when he wants to break through to the realm of true god?

Will it lead to a further "upgrade" of the new universe, or will it "collapse" due to conflicts in the cultivation system?

Since there was no precedent to follow, he was naturally filled with anxiety.

Of course, despite his concerns, Zhou Yang could not afford to hesitate.

After all, the path of cultivation should be one of unwavering progress, allowing no room for fear or retreat!

"It's too early to think about these things now; perhaps you'll naturally understand in time."

"Continue your cultivation. My clone will continue studying the Chaos Runes, while I, the main body with the strongest consciousness, will focus on comprehending the 'Life Chart.' Hopefully, the Life Chart will be powerful enough to support my journey to the third level of divine power."

Zhou Yang sighed softly, but continued to delve into deep contemplation.
