Chapter 203: A Hundred Years of Leisure, Family and Breakthrough

On the Primordial Star, Zhou Yang's figure flickered rapidly, and in a very short time he surveyed the entire Primordial Star.

Then his form flashed, and he arrived at a Vortex Passage, passing through it to enter the next Primordial Star.

Now that his ability to Teleport on Primordial Stars is exposed, he no longer hides it and usually just uses Teleportation to travel quickly.

Thus, his speed of surveying each Primordial Star instantly surged.

In just a little over a year, he had visited all 10,081 Primordial Stars.

However, to his disappointment, although he could feel an inexplicable divine resonance on each Primordial Star, even after touring all of them he never truly captured that faint resonance.

"Never mind, perhaps as the Chaos City Lord teacher said, one person cannot claim every opportunity; I need not force it too much."

He comforted himself thus.

In the days that followed, he truly ceased excessive probing and instead focused his energy on refining Jian He Luo and the Reincarnation Divine Armor.

With the Chaos City Lord mobilizing the entire Hong Alliance's forces to search, and even directly negotiating with senior leaders of several friendly factions, the collection of the remaining components of Jian He Luo proceeded in an orderly fashion.

One month after the Sword Tomb battle, the second Divine Sword of Jian He Luo was delivered into Zhou Yang's hands.

This was obtained by the Chaos City Lord, who exchanged three pieces of high-tier Supreme Treasure armor with a Universe Master under the Ancestor God Sect.

Although the Divine Sword of Jian He Luo itself is merely an Ordinary Supreme Treasure, it is an indispensable component of a Top-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure; anyone or any force that obtains it naturally tries to raise the price, so the cost of exchange becomes much higher.

Nevertheless, there is some good news.

More than twenty years later, Luo Feng, who had successfully obtained the Tribulation Armor, began adventuring on Primordial Stars, and two years later, during a treasure raid, he successfully acquired a Jian He Luo Divine Sword.

Zhou Yang naturally did not exchange pleasantries with Luo Feng and directly added the Divine Sword to his collection.

However, after that, no related news came for a long time; it was unclear whether the remaining Divine Swords had yet to appear or were hidden by others.

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

Previously, by adding just over seventy scales, the Reincarnation Divine Armor's power increased considerably, showing him the treasure's potential.

Soon he will venture into the Universe Sea, where a massive gathering of the topmost strongmen from the Three Reincarnation Eras converges.

Those strongmen are extremely powerful both in personal strength and treasure level, and there are even Sixth-Stage Universe Lords possessing Supreme Strongest Treasures!

Compared with those top strongmen, Zhou Yang's current strength still appears somewhat immature, and the only treasure he can wield is the Reincarnation Divine Armor.

If he can, before entering the Universe Sea, replenish the missing 10,081 scales of the Reincarnation Divine Armor as much as possible, further boosting its power, it will surely provide considerable aid on his forging journey in the Universe Sea.

These years of adventuring on Primordial Stars have also yielded many Ordinary Supreme Treasures and a large amount of precious treasure.

Except for a few cherished items, the rest he stored in the Universe Treasure Hall of Hong Alliance City, to exchange with all Hong Alliance Venerables and Immortal members for materials to forge Reincarnation Divine Armor scales.

The true owner behind this Universe Treasure Hall is the Longxing Lord of a lineage of the Virtual Universe Company.

Zhou Yang greeted the Longxing Lord, and the storage fees were waived; the Longxing Lord even arranged a Universe Venerable to handle these matters for him.

Thus Zhou Yang became completely at ease.

Now his comprehension of the Space-Time Law has reached its limit; he only needs to pierce the final layer of 'cellophane' to truly enter the realm of a Universe Master.

At this stage, seclusion for contemplation is no longer necessary; perhaps a mere inadvertent spark could cause the breakthrough to occur naturally.

During the next hundred years, Zhou Yang, aside from occasionally adventuring on Primordial Stars and tossing the Ordinary Supreme Treasures and precious treasures he casually gathered into the Universe Treasure Hall to exchange for Reincarnation Divine Armor scale materials, spent the rest of his time on Earth with his family or meeting old friends now and then, leading a rather leisurely life.

Amid this leisure, a hundred years passed like flowing water.

On this day, in the courtyard of Hao Bieshu in Mingyue Community, Zhou Yang was quietly chatting with his family.

Zhou Yong and Wang Shumei sat opposite him, one holding several thin bamboo strips, seemingly casually weaving something.

The other held a few pieces of patterned cloth, with a silver needle flying in hand, quickly forming a tiny floral garment.

Beside Zhou Yang sat a beautiful woman dressed in a lotus‑colored embroidered skirt.

Her jet‑black long hair draped over her shoulders, her features were delicate, her nose refined, and her bright, lively eyes bore a hint of youthful charm.

Only now her lower abdomen was slightly rounded, adding a touch of plumpness.

The woman was the former 'Yu Meng King', now named Li Qingmeng.

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

Until Zhou Yang reclaimed ownership of Earth and relocated all alien immigrants off the planet, she did not follow the main forces but, relying on her ties with Zhou Yang's family, purchased an island on Earth to reside on.

Later, as time passed, Zhou Yang was not some ascetic monk, and things naturally unfolded. "Qingmeng, look, is this little garment nice?"

Wang Shumei picked up the freshly made little floral jacket and showed it to Li Qingmeng.

"Beautiful, beautiful, this is my first time seeing a hand‑made garment; Mom, you're amazing!"

Li Qingmeng's beautiful eyes smiled brightly, sparing no praise for herself.

"It's a pity, really. When I was young I didn't have time to learn these before the Great Nirvana erupted, and now I have to figure them out on my own. If Yangyang's grandmother were still here, her craftsmanship would be truly excellent."

Wang Shumei continued to sigh regretfully.

"Yangyang's grandmother's craftsmanship is also quite good."

Zhou Yong interjected from the side.

"Fine, all good, that's enough, go on with your work."

Wang Shumei shot an annoyed glance at Zhou Yong.

Now Zhou Yong has long broken through to Immortal through the accumulation of massive resources, yet after her glare, he timidly dares not speak.

Sitting nearby, Zhou Yang smiled at the scene, feeling everything before his eyes was so pure and natural.

What is the cultivator's greatest pursuit—great power? Or eternal life?

No, in Zhou Yang's view, it should be the freedom to roam the vast Heaven and Earth at will, and when you grow weary, to look back and see the bright lamp called 'home'.

Because the heart is attached, one does not become confused in hardship.

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

His massive Spiritual Power became even more like an arm at his command, his five senses grew increasingly sharp and clear, his thoughts became ever more relaxed and lively, and the long‑standing barrier before him collapsed with a thunderous crash (End of Chapter).
