Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 283 Begins Cultivation

The next day, the old servant Qiying delivered a large number of books to Zhou Yang.

Although the master and servant had left the Ziyang Sect to live in this mortal dynasty, they were still born into the Ziyang Sect, so worldly wealth was naturally not a problem for them.

Seven Shadows only paid some mortal coins in exchange for this massive collection of books.

The old servant in gray gently placed a large box, about half a person's height, in a corner of Zhou Yang's room with one hand.

"Young master, the books you requested are all here. Most of them are anecdotes and historical biographies, and there are also twenty or thirty books on external martial arts techniques. Please take a look first, and if you are not satisfied, I will go find more."

He assumed the young master wanted to read some books to pass the time, so he made a point of collecting more books on anecdotes and strange tales when preparing.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Uncle Qiying. You can go and rest now. I'll read a book by myself for a while."

Wearing a white jade brocade robe, Zhou Yang, who looked only five or six years old, looked up and spoke.

"Yes, this old servant is right outside. If you need anything, young master, just summon this old servant."

The gray-clad old servant, Qi Ying, respectfully said something and then quietly left the room.

After he left, Zhou Yang walked towards the large wooden crate in the corner that was almost as tall as him.

Fortunately, the doors of the wooden crate were on the side. Zhou Yang reached out, grabbed the handle of the door, and gently pulled open the door.

Inside the wooden box, neatly arranged were various kinds of thread-bound books.

Zhou Yang took out all the books and placed them directly on the floor of the room.

"The Travels of Mingdao", "The Great Ming Dynasty", "A Few Things About the True Man of Qinghe", "The Mighty Bull", and "The Body-Shattering Technique".

A total of 176 books covered a large area of ​​the room's floor.

Most of them were travelogues and anecdotes, with only the top two rows containing body-refining methods for ordinary people to cultivate external martial arts.

Zhou Yang didn't look at the body-refining techniques, but instead picked up a book called "The Journey of Mingdao" and started flipping through it.

This is a biographical novel told from the perspective of a Golden Core cultivator named Mingdaozi. It recounts his unique experiences, interspersed with the strange environment of the Abyss Continent, legends, and interesting anecdotes.

The book contains a variety of contents and is as thick as Zhou Yang's palm when it stands upright.

However, with Zhou Yang reading it almost day and night, he finished reading the entire "Mingdao Travelogue" in just over a day.

He didn't stop, and picked up the next book, "The History of the Ming Dynasty," to start reading.

"The Great Ming Dynasty" tells the story of the rise and fall of the once extremely powerful mortal dynasty, the "Great Ming Dynasty," and also includes some interesting legends and stories about the "immortals" worshipped within the Great Ming Dynasty.

And so, Zhou Yang flipped through the books one by one, spending all his time reading them except for meals and ensuring he got three hours of sleep.

Although he has been in this world for six years, he had been staying in the Ziyang Sect. Due to special reasons, he had basically no chance to come into contact with the outside world. Moreover, because he was afraid that people would discover the clues of his reincarnation, he did not dare to show too much curiosity or ask too many questions. Therefore, his understanding of this world was still extremely limited.

Now that I'm outside Ziyang Gate, I feel much freer.

Although these books only record some things about the mortal world or the most ordinary cultivators, reading them extensively can still give you a glimpse into the true nature of this world.

In terms of the geography of this world, besides the Abyss Continent where he is currently located, there are five other continents in the world.

However, the Abyss Continent is a holy land where cultivators of this world gather, with more than half of the world's cultivators concentrated there, while the other continents are mainly mortal worlds.

In the middle of the six continents lies an endless ocean, whose area far exceeds the total area of ​​all the continents combined.

Within this endless ocean lies another, and most powerful, force in this world—the underwater demon cultivators!

In this world, not only humans can cultivate, but even some demonic beasts, after a long period of growth, can awaken their intelligence and embark on the path of cultivation.

The entire endless ocean is hundreds of times larger than the combined area of ​​the six continents, and the number of demonic beasts it breeds is naturally terrifying. Moreover, demonic beasts generally have physical bodies that are far stronger than human cultivators, giving them a great advantage in battle. Therefore, under normal circumstances, human cultivators are generally unwilling to easily provoke those who cultivate demonic beasts.

Fortunately, although the demon cultivators are powerful as a whole, they also believe in the law of the jungle and are internally divided into many factions that are constantly fighting, which gives the human cultivators a chance to develop.

Nowadays, human cultivators are emerging in large numbers, and there are even a lot of loose immortals above the tenth level, so they are no longer overly afraid of the demon cultivators.

The cultivation system of this world is extremely similar to the world of the novel "Stellar Transformations" that he had read before.

When ordinary mortals first come into contact with cultivation, there is a distinction between internal and external skills.

Internal energy cultivation involves training the body's internal energy, while external energy cultivation involves training the body's external energy.

However, internal energy cultivation is the mainstream in the cultivation world, while external energy cultivation is considered a minor path.

After all, those who practice external martial arts can only reach the pinnacle of acquired skills in their lifetime.

Cultivating internal energy allows one to break through the acquired realm, the innate realm, and eventually condense the golden core, embarking on a true journey of cultivation!

"The day after tomorrow, the innate, the golden core, the nascent soul... Could I have transmigrated into the world of 'Stellar Transformations' again?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Whether it was the familiar cultivation realm, or the Meteor Tear, the Three Souls Nine Refinements Method, the Stellar Transformation technique, etc. that he had previously obtained, they were all inextricably linked to the world he had seen, which made him unable to help but make a guess.

"Young master, dinner is ready. Please rest for a while."

The old servant Qiying's voice came from outside the door.

"Okay, coming~"

Zhou Yang neatly put down the book "Azure Dragon Force" in his hand before pushing open the door and walking out.

"Young master, we've been in Junyang City for over a month now. Aren't you getting a little bored staying in your room all day? Why don't you let this old servant accompany you for a walk?"

The gray-robed elder, Qi Ying, spoke gently.

He was assigned to accompany Zhou Yang, so he was naturally someone whom Master Mingxu trusted greatly, and he was also very familiar with Zhou Yang's experiences over the past six years.

It was precisely because he knew him so well that he felt a pang of heartache.

He should have been a prodigy, but he suffered congenital trauma due to an attack in the womb, and later experienced that kind of ordeal.

Now, his brother, who was born of the same mother and survived only because of his sacrifice, is enjoying the favor and glory of almost the entire Ziyang Sect, while this young master left home at a young age to live in this desolate mortal world. It is truly a sad story.

"Haha, Uncle Qiying, no rush. I'll call you when I want to go out in a while."

Zhou Yang responded like a little adult.

In the world of spiritual practitioners, children are generally precocious, so there's nothing to worry about about him speaking like that.

Zhou Yang and Qi Ying, master and servant, quickly finished their dinner. Afterwards, Zhou Yang once again plunged into the bedroom.

"Having been in this world for over a month, I've gained a basic understanding of its situation."

Zhou Yang sat on a stool in the room, his eyes constantly flickering.

"Next, it's time to try cultivation."
