Chapter 241: Great Harvest

"Universe Boat's Silver Token!"

Zhou Yang happily toyed with the silver pendant in his hand.

The pendant bore a carving of an unfamiliar beast, whose massive nine tusks and fire‑spitting eyes resembled a Dark Overlord.

The Universe Boat is an incomparably massive, damaged spacecraft.

How can a damaged ship be counted among the Three Great Forbidden Lands?

First, the Universe Boat is absurdly huge—its hull stretches for tens of millions of light‑years and can devour endless Chaos Energy, so the very vicinity of the 'Universe Boat' is riddled with hazardous environments.

Inside the Universe Boat danger lurks everywhere; it has existed since before the Endless Eras...

It even existed before the Two Great Holy Lands of the Universe were born! No one knows the origin of the Universe Boat.

Moreover, the Universe Boat likes to 'devour Small Universes'; damaged Small Universes are often drawn to it and then consumed.

It is precisely for this reason that it is commonly called the 'Universe Boat'.

This damaged, infinitely potent super‑ship harbors endless peril and endless treasure! Its danger is enough to bring down the Universe Strongest.

The treasure could drive any faction of the Universe Sea mad.

The 'Token' is a peculiar item found within the Universe Boat; as long as one carries a Token, one gains certain privileges inside the Boat, greatly reducing the danger.

I can't say all hazardous zones become safe, but at least some no longer count as dangerous.

Each Token also corresponds to a massive Secret Chamber, each of which is an independent space.

The Black Token, Qingxin Token, and Silver Token—three tiers of Tokens—represent three distinct Secret Chamber spaces.

For example, the Black Token is usually held by some top‑level Universe Masters.

The Qingxin Token is basically only possessed by the Universe Strongest.

As for the highest‑grade Silver Token, all known Silver Tokens in the Universe Sea are currently controlled by the Two Great Holy Lands!

Whether there exists a Token above the Silver Token is unknown to any faction in the entire Universe Sea; the Silver Token has long resided in the depths of Wanku Gorge, seemingly never obtained by outsiders, and the likelihood of hidden treasure is extremely high!

Zhou Yang's face lit up with unparalleled excitement.

The Silver Token is the highest‑grade Universe Boat Token known in the Universe Sea today; its holder's strength already surpasses the True God—that is the so‑called Universe Strongest rank! The cultivation space left by such a master likely contains unimaginable powerful opportunities! Even the Two Great Holy Lands, whose founding ancestors managed to break free from the cycle of reincarnation, owe much to the inheritance they gained from the Silver Token space.

"The Secret Chamber space corresponding to the Silver Token has already penetrated to the Core Land of the Universe Boat."

Zhou Yang's gaze flickered slightly.

The Core Land of the Three Great Forbidden Lands is a place where even the Universe Strongest would fall with a single misstep; delving into the Core Land where the Silver Token space lies is no small challenge.

Nevertheless, Zhou Yang felt little disappointment.

Now his strength has reached the limit of a Universe Master; to advance further, he must undergo more battles and trials.

The journey to the Core Land of the Universe Boat, however, is an exceptionally rare trial.

He possesses the cheat‑like New Universe method, has newly acquired a Supreme Strongest Treasure protective item, and holds certain special permissions of the Silver Token; thus he can barely attempt to venture into the Universe Boat's Core Land.

Zhou Yang stopped overthinking, infused a strand of Divine Power into the Silver Token—already ownerless—and, after imprinting a sliver of his life mark onto it, quickly succeeded in claiming it.

With this claiming, a faint, hazy connection surfaced in his mind.

In his perception, he seemed to wield an inexplicable control over this space.

The entire layout and structure of the space instantly materialized in his mind; moreover, he sensed that, should he wish, the incessant streams of Violent Wind, flames, thunder, and the black mist that once filled the Route were all under his command. A mere shift of his will let him freely gather, disperse, or even extinguish those strange energies.

"Isn't this essentially me directly controlling a hazardous zone!"

A sharp glint flickered in Zhou Yang's eyes.

The myriad powerful energies within Wanku Gorge, especially the black mist, become so dense that even the Universe Strongest can be bewildered!

If he can command this hazardous area's power, wouldn't he directly possess strength capable of matching the Universe Strongest!

Of course, this hypothesis presumes that a Universe Strongest would dare follow him into the deepest part of this peril.

But Wanku Gorge's reputation for danger is well known; likely no one would be so reckless.

"For now it's best not to reveal this method, lest the people of the Two Great Holy Lands deduce that I've obtained a Silver Token and, given those great powers' tendencies, make my peaceful wandering difficult."

Zhou Yang shook his head lightly, tucked away the Silver Token, and turned his gaze toward the black‑cloaked, golden‑haired ape‑man seated on the ground.

The golden‑haired ape‑man's body, even the seemingly ordinary loose robe he wears, has endured endless ages without decay; placed within the Universe Sea it would be an exceedingly rare treasure.

"Collect!"

Zhou Yang directly stored the black‑cloaked ape‑man's body into a storage space.

However, to his slight regret, no other storage equipment was found on the black‑cloaked ape‑man. After consecutively storing the 'Dustless' Divine Sword and the ape‑man's body, the massive Gray‑Black Stone Platform became completely empty.

Zhou Yang lingered no longer, instantly teleported to a great height, claimed the Silver Token, and found that the space's suppression over him vanished; he could now easily teleport anywhere.

He stood at the lofty height and gazed outward—

It was a colossal cavern space spanning roughly Ten Thousand Light‑Years.

On the four walls, tens of thousands of massive openings were arranged in a specific pattern, with streams of Violent Wind, thunder, flames and other energies constantly coursing between them.

The massive Gray‑Black Stone Platform where Zhou Yang had stood earlier was near a cluster of openings.

It wasn't a mere platform but a towering, majestic stone pillar whose flattened top gave the appearance of a platform.

Along the pillar's shaft, intricate secret runes wound around, seemingly integrated with the entire space.

Massive currents of energy continuously converged from all sides into the pillar, as if powering some object.

"So that's how it is"

Zhou Yang understood at a glance; he had previously wondered how an ownerless Supreme Treasure could, by its own dissipating power, annihilate an entire Top‑tier Supreme Treasure palace.

It turned out the pillar acted like a charger, continuously supplying energy to the 'Dustless' Divine Sword, allowing it to maintain its immense power.

"It seems to be an application of some mechanical-flow technique."

Zhou Yang nodded.

He continued his inspection downward, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

In the cavern's lower central ground, a massive overturned furnace continuously spewed scorching flames outward.

Yet on the land surrounding the furnace, there were vast amounts of metal, strange stones, spiritual materials, precious ore, and even pieces of finished or semi-finished Supreme Treasures scattered casually on the ground.

With a thought, Zhou Yang's surging New Universe Power burst forth, directly sucking up all the scattered materials and Supreme Treasures on the entire land, even that huge furnace, into the New Universe! After merely a quick tally, his heart was filled with endless ecstasy! "Heavens! I've struck it rich!"
