Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 63 The Spaceship Rushing into Space

Having a long-awaited home-cooked meal with his parents cleansed Zhou Yang's somewhat bewildered mind, leaving it clear and serene.

Even amidst the fluctuations in his mental state, he managed to sense the fluctuations of the fundamental law of wood, which greatly increased his strength once again.

"The power of the mind? Truly wondrous!"

At this moment, Zhou Yang finally understood why the higher-ups in humanity placed so much importance on improving one's mental and spiritual cultivation.

If one's bloodline determines the speed of cultivation in the early stages, then one's mental cultivation determines the height one can reach in the later stages of cultivation.

According to descriptions in some ancient Chinese books, cultivators will encounter various "obstacles" during their advancement.

These "illusions" can cloud people's minds, confuse their five senses, and make it difficult for them to see the way forward.

Only by constantly wiping away the obstructive "dust" and keeping the mind clear can we avoid being hindered by "delusions" and move forward steadfastly.

"It seems I should read more of the classic texts on self-cultivation and character building by ancient Chinese sages in addition to my cultivation practice."

"By the way, Babata, how long until Luo Feng's clone is fully formed?"

Zhou Yang asked himself a question in his mind.

"Let me receive the message from over there first. According to Luo Feng's intuition, it will take about 7 to 8 months."

A moment later, Babata's response rang out.

"7 or 8 months"

Zhou Yang nodded slightly. "There's plenty of time."

Now, Zhou Yangmu and Kong Erxi have both stepped into the threshold of the fundamental laws.

Moreover, as he continued to digest the mysterious insights he had gained from the Meteor Tear in his mind, his comprehension of the laws continued to rise.

With the constant nourishment of life force, one doesn't need to put too much effort into improving their realm.

Taking advantage of this rare period of leisure, he began to read some ancient Chinese books on self-cultivation.

In his spare time, he would also leave his secluded cultivation chamber to visit some old friends he hadn't seen in a long time.

First, let's talk about the teammates of the Wind Chaser Squad.

After receiving the inheritance of Meteorite Star, he secretly gave each person five powdered pieces of Wood Crystal.

After two years of digestion, their cultivation levels have gradually increased to the planetary level, and they no longer need to hunt low-level monsters in the wilderness.

However, the choices made by the individuals differed.

Uncle Liu Chengan chose to stay at the Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy in Jiangnan Base City and become an instructor.

In my spare time, I cook with my wife, take walks, watch TV shows with my daughter, and follow her idols. I live a very happy life.

Captain Lei Hong's children are already adults, so he doesn't need to worry about them too much.

He has already signed up for the Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy's selection test. Once he passes the test, he will become one of the first humans, besides Zhou Yang, to step out of Earth and continue his martial arts journey in the cosmos.

Chen Chong, who was only a few years older than Zhou Yang, joined the special operations team under the Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy.

They are busy every day assisting the military in clearing monsters from the wilderness and gradually reclaiming what was once human territory.

Beside him stood a resolute young man wielding a long black iron spear; he was Zhu Xia's younger brother, and one could vaguely see a resemblance between his features and that of the spirited woman.

Unfortunately, although Zhou Yang had already sent the Japanese warrior who had caused them so much pain to hell with the cruelest methods, he could not bring back that precious life that had been lost.

The fragility of life made Zhou Yang sigh.

Next, he visited his first angel investor, Mr. Zhuge Tao, when he started his martial arts journey.

At this point, he had become a powerful manager of the Super God Training Camp, in charge of distributing resources to a group of War God-level and even Planetary-level individuals.

When I saw him again, he had clearly gained weight, and was obviously doing well.

When Zhou Yang saw the irritable old man named Dong Dao who was practicing with a gun, he was slightly surprised.

After a brief probing, a blazing red domain rapidly spread out from the other party's body!

"Ten years of drinking ice can't cool the burning passion, Shurima cough cough cough, vast starry sky, your grandpa is coming!"

Looking at the little old man who seemed to have gone mad, Zhou Yang couldn't help but rub his forehead.

After leaving behind a batch of wooden crystals and several sets of advanced cultivation techniques for martial artists, he quietly departed.

He strolled aimlessly along the streets of Hongning Base City, feeling the "thread" deep within his heart gradually becoming thicker and stronger, and his will becoming increasingly firm.

"Zhou Yang, Luo Feng is calling. Do you want to answer?"

Babata's voice suddenly rang in my mind.

Answer the call.

Upon Zhou Yang's confirmation, Luo Feng's subtly excited voice immediately rang out in the communicator.

"Yoko, I'm done here!"

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, Zhou Yang's calm gaze gradually brightened.

"Finally finished! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Three months later, a silver-white spaceship soared into the sky from Earth.

Moments later, the spaceship accelerated to the speed of light and instantly traversed into the dark universe.

Inside the spaceship, several people were chatting casually.

"Luo Feng, you little rascal, you've finally decided to leave your new house!"

The white-robed, bald Thor jokingly teased Luo Feng.

Beside him, Zhou Yang and Hong also cast scrutinizing glances at him.

"Hey guys, I just got married and I'm already out having fun with you guys, that's pretty loyal of me!"

Luo Feng, who was sitting cross-legged opposite him, smiled wryly.

He then glanced at Zhou Yang and added, "I'm a married man now, unlike Yangzi who's a single dog and can just leave whenever she wants."

"You have such a sweet voice, thank you."

Zhou, an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire, rolled his eyes and quietly changed the subject.

"Let Babata tell you about our destination first."

When it came to serious matters, the group stopped joking around and sat up straight.

Now that Earth's development is on the right track, these most powerful individuals among humanity are also facing new challenges.

Earth's resources are limited, and both their own growth and the development of the planet force them to leave their homeland and venture into space to make their way in the universe.

The group consisted of people who couldn't stand being constrained, and after some discussion, they all agreed to first venture out and hone their skills as ordinary adventurers.

Once we've gradually adapted to the rules of survival in the universe, we can consider other plans.

Zhou Yang knew that a tremendous opportunity was about to arrive: the once-in-ten-thousand-years Cosmic Genius Battle, which would sweep across the entire human race's territory in the universe!

Anyone who performs exceptionally well in this battle of geniuses will have the opportunity to be directly recruited by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom or even by Virtual Universe Company, one of the five giants of the universe.

In the original novel, Luo Feng displayed an extremely outstanding performance in this battle of geniuses, and ultimately successfully joined the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.

From then on, Luo Feng's extraordinary life officially entered the fast lane, until he reached the pinnacle of the universe.

Unfortunately, Hong and Thor were defeated in the early stages and did not make it to the final battle.

It wasn't until later, when he revealed his extraordinary mental cultivation, that he was rediscovered and valued.

"But this time should be different."

With his early intervention, both Luo Feng and Hong He Lei Shen improved their strength much faster than in the original story, so I believe they will definitely perform even better in the future.

At this moment, Babata began to introduce their destination, a small cosmic secret realm called the Soul River Secret Realm.

"This is a star map of the area surrounding the Soul River Secret Realm."

On the spaceship's screen, Babata, who resembled a child in black, raised his hand and waved, causing a huge projection of the starry sky to appear in the spaceship's space.

The star projection mostly consisted of glittering planetary points of light, but in the middle of these points of light, a silver-gray river, like a ribbon, meandered and covered a large area.

"The Soul River Secret Realm is located in the Kotvid Galaxy, a peripheral star system in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region. This secret realm is about 3.2 light-years long and about 1.5 light-years wide."

"Occasionally, small vortex-shaped spaces will evolve in this secret realm. Over time, these vortex spaces can give birth to a peculiar energy life form—the Heavenly Soul Beast."

"The strength of a Celestial Soul Beast is generally around the seventh or eighth level of the Planetary Realm. After killing it, you can obtain a material called Celestial Soul Sand, which is a good reward whether you consume it yourself or sell it for money."

"After a Celestial Soul Beast breaks through to the Eternal Star level, it will advance to the Blood Soul Beast, and the materials it produces will become Blood Soul Sand, which is more than a hundred times more expensive than Celestial Soul Sand."

"Of course, besides the energy life forms nurtured in the Soul River Secret Realm, you should be even more wary of adventurers like yourselves!"

At this point, Babata couldn't help but raise his voice:

"The human heart is far more terrifying than monsters."
