Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 55 Two Years

Since his trip to Qiulong Star, Zhou Yang has come to realize that in this vast universe, he is not only a weakling, but also a pitiful pauper!

Just thinking about the terrifying prices he witnessed on Qiulong Star made Zhou Yang's teeth ache.

A penniless man like him would find it incredibly difficult to make a living in the universe.

Putting aside everything else, the energy consumption of a spaceship for interstellar travel alone is a considerable expense.

Babata's energy crystals are also limited; once they are used up, the Black Dragon Mountain will be grounded.

Furthermore, the various functions of the virtual universe also require money.

With the few coins (Qianwu coins) in Babata's hand, they couldn't even get into the basic killing field once or twice.

"You know you're poor now, right? Then hurry up and cultivate! Once you reach the Eternal Star level, you'll feel much better after you withdraw the first savings your teacher left you."

In the virtual space, Babata grinned, revealing two sharp teeth, and spoke in a seductive tone.

"Yes, cultivate! Quickly cultivate!"

Therefore, the moment Zhou Yang returned from Qiulong Star, he threw himself into frantic cultivation and improvement.

A series of development plans have been arranged on Earth.

With the batch of anonymous virtual universe accounts he brought back, the powerful beings on Earth can now access information from outside Earth through the virtual universe.

Once they understand the weakness of humanity on Earth and the cruelty of the universe, I believe they will soon unleash tremendous motivation for cultivation!

After leaving everything to Hong and Thor, Zhou Yang directly piloted the Black Dragon Mountain to the moon, which is 38 kilometers away from Earth.

"Some of my current methods are too disruptive; it's much more convenient to use this uninhabited moon!"

On this day, Zhou Yang's arduous cultivation journey officially began!

"Your physical condition is improving very quickly now. You only need to spend a little time each day absorbing the Wood Crystal."

"The rest of your time, you must devote all your energy to practicing the secret techniques!"

Babata played the role of teacher very well, quickly formulating a series of cultivation plans for Zhou Yang.

"The Soul Imprint technique is the most core secret technique of the Meteorite Star lineage. You must dedicate a significant amount of time to learning it, striving to master the first level first!"

"The Void Tower is a top-tier soul defense technique that your teacher obtained by chance. Your physical body is currently extremely powerful, and when combined with the Void Tower, your survivability will reach an abnormally high level."

"This 'Arc Light' technique is a secret method that comes with the Arc Blade Disc. The more you practice it, the better you can unleash the power of the Arc Blade Disc."

Under Babata's supervision, Zhou Yang's daily life became both monotonous and fulfilling.

He regularly absorbs the Wood Crystal for cultivation, and with the assistance of life essence, his physical fitness continues to improve every day.

Zhou Yang then devoted the rest of his time to cultivating various secret techniques.

The two that received the most investment were naturally "Soul Imprint" and "Tower of the Void".

"Soul Imprint" is the strongest attack technique for spiritualists of the Meteorite Star lineage. After successful cultivation, one can condense spiritual power to transform into various forms to directly attack the enemy's soul.

Nourished by the Meteor Tears, Zhou Yang already possessed a high brain capacity, and his total mental power far exceeded that of other mental masters of the same level.

Imagine if Zhou Yang suddenly used "Soul Imprint" on his opponent during a battle; even someone two or three levels higher than him would be momentarily stunned.

In battles against mentalists, even a moment's distraction can directly determine the outcome of a fight!

Furthermore, once this secret technique is cultivated to the second level, it can also condense a special "slave soul imprint".

A servant who has used the "Slave Soul Seal" contract will not only be absolutely loyal to their master, but will also be able to continuously cultivate and advance in rank.

For this reason alone, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel deep respect for Hu Yanbo, the creator of this secret technique!

In general, when using enslavement techniques, the key is to rely on powerful mental attacks to instantly destroy the enemy's mental defenses, thereby gaining control over the enemy.

In this process, it is inevitable that the souls of the enslaved will be greatly damaged.

Servants acquired in this way become muddle-headed and can only act simply by following their master's instructions.

However, the "Soul Imprint" secret technique created by Huyanbo can guarantee that it will not damage the soul of the enslaved person and will preserve their ability to cultivate and advance!

This naturally impressed him greatly!

In the future, if we encounter an enemy with outstanding talent, we won't kill them; we can simply enslave them. Wouldn't that be equivalent to having an absolutely loyal genius servant?

As for the Tower of the Void, it is a top-tier secret technique for soul defense.

This secret technique has seven levels. Each time you successfully cultivate a level, you can build a layer of glazed pagoda around the core of your soul in your sea of ​​consciousness.

This glazed pagoda is entirely composed of mental energy, making it easy to withstand mental attacks from the outside world.

According to Babata, if a seven-story glazed pagoda could be built, even an immortal-level soul attack could be easily withstood!

Zhou Yang already possesses a powerful physical body, and once he masters this soul defense technique, he will be absolutely invincible in battles against opponents of the same level!

Zhou Yang was drawn to the profound methods within the two secret techniques and became deeply engrossed in them.

With the help of the Meteor Tear, his mind remained clear and his five senses were rapidly enhanced.

Some parts of the secret technique that Babata considered difficult were quickly conquered by Zhou Yang, one by one. His terrifying speed of comprehension left Babata speechless.

"Hiss~ This is really strange. Aren't the aptitudes of humans on Earth supposed to be quite ordinary? How come Zhou Yang's comprehension ability seems to surpass that of some of the top geniuses in the universe!"

"And then there's Hong and Thor, who can comprehend a domain at the planetary level—that's incredibly rare even in the universe!"

"My luck is incredible, Lord Babata! I've discovered three top geniuses all at once!"

"Boss, could it be your spirit guiding me from the shadows?"

Amidst Babata's constant shocks, Zhou Yang's cultivation progressed steadily and rapidly, step by step.

Two months later, his cultivation level broke through to the fourth stage of the Planetary Realm.

Five months later, his cultivation level broke through to the fifth rank of the Planetary level.

Another month later, after the initial stages of the "Tower of the Void," a layer of glazed pagoda took shape in Zhou Yang's sea of ​​consciousness.

One year later, the first level of the Soul Imprint was successfully cultivated.

July, 2059 (Earth Calendar).

In the Aitken Basin, the largest impact basin at the lunar south pole.

Zhou Yang, dressed in purple-red armor, sat quietly in meditation.

At this moment, his aura fluctuated constantly, and every now and then, bursts of sharp energy would splash out in all directions, leaving deep marks on the gray earth.

As the two Wood Crystals in his hand were rapidly consumed, the fluctuations in his aura became increasingly intense.

Finally, at a certain moment, the fluctuation of that aura seemed to have reached a certain extreme!

"Buzz"

Zhou Yang's aura suddenly surged, and an invisible wave of energy burst forth from his body and spread outwards.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Yang's eyes snapped open, and his face lit up with undisguised joy.

"Finally, we've reached the eternal star level!"

After returning from the Dragon Star, and after nearly two years of arduous training, I finally broke through!

"Babata"

He was about to call out, but then he paused slightly.

In his perception, some strange changes seemed to be beginning to occur in his body!

At the moment he broke through to the Hengxing level, the Meteor Tear in his chest seemed to be stimulated by something and burst out rapidly!

A massive amount of life force surged forth like a river bursting its banks, filling his entire body in an instant.

Under the influence of this massive amount of life force, his physical strength began to increase rapidly at an unimaginable and terrifying speed.

This improvement seems endless, and it has even subtly broken through some of the body's limits.

At the same time, a hazy, mysterious information kept gathering and entering his mind.
