Chapter 80: Covert Cultivation and the Opening!

The excavation of the World Within World treasure on Canglan Xing has unsettled the entire Heilongshan Star Region.

Among the 312 artifacts, the cheapest start at a fifth‑rank Original Force Weapon.

Most of the artifacts are coveted even by Domain Lords and Realm Lords.

Some lucky adventurers obtain treasures from the World Within World without any faction protection; even if they manage to bring the treasures out, they end up merely providing a wedding dress for those powerful figures.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang and his companions had already secured Ming Yu's connections, allowing them to escape smoothly from Canglan Xing.

A jet‑black spaceship darts rapidly through the Dark Universe.

Inside the ship, Zhou Yang and the others begin discussing how to handle the harvested treasures.

A Light Curtain materializes beside them, densely listing the spoils of this World Within World expedition.

The biggest haul, of course, consists of the treasures Lord Wu covertly smuggled out.

Thunder Castle held a total of 312 artifacts, and he whisked away 216 of them!

And they were all among the higher‑valued items!

Zhou Yang looked at Luo Feng and the two others, smiled, and said:

"Everyone, see if there's anything you can use; take it directly. The rest, I'll consign through the Universe Galaxy Bank."

His words just finished, Lei Shen was the first to speak:

"Zhou Yang, you don't need to consider me; I already possess the inheritance of the Kabu World Master, and Lord Wu has already arranged everything for me!"

"You fool, you're actually the master's heir; all these should have been yours!"

Lord Wu, looking like a plump white‑bearded old man beside him, wore an unwilling expression.

Lei Shen patted his bald head and gave a simple, sincere smile:

"If it weren't for Zhou Yang, I wouldn't have had a chance to receive the teacher's inheritance, let alone these treasures, Lord Wu, you need not say more."

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to bother with you!"

Lord Wu snorted, turned his head, and ignored him.

"Zhou Yang, if possible, just leave me one Life Fruit; I won't take part in the rest."

"Yangzi, just give me some cash; I'll buy something."

Hong and Luo Feng also spoke in turn.

Zhou Yang, smiling nearby, silently praised them in his heart.

The temperament and conduct of this Earth team truly are impeccable.

The treasures from the World Within World are such that even a Domain Lord‑level strongman would scramble for a single piece, and Universe‑level beings would risk their lives to fight over them.

Yet in the eyes of these few, no trace of greed appears.

"Fine, I'll handle it first!"

Zhou Yang nodded.

In the following months, he borrowed Huyan Bo's five‑star account and commissioned the Universe Galaxy Bank to consign the World Within World spoils for sale.

Aside from keeping a Life Fruit, a d6 Level Railgun and a few other usable items, he consigned the remaining two‑hundred‑plus pieces.

Those two‑hundred‑plus items were among the more prized artifacts in the entire World Within World, far surpassing the value of those Luo Feng exchanged in the original work.

In the end, 206 artifacts were fully consigned, netting a massive 1.86 × 10¹⁸ Universe Coins.

Converted into Hunyuan Units, that amounts to 186 Hunyuan Units!

That alone already rivals the total wealth of an average Immortal God.

After the funds cleared, Zhou Yang's Universe Galaxy Bank account instantly rose to 'Four‑Star Customer' status.

He also gained a series of qualifications, such as membership in the Qianwu Auction and the Axe Arena.

"The World Within World treasures are now in hand, and Earth is developing smoothly,"

"Then we should prepare for that grand event!"

The Virtual Universe Company's once‑in‑a‑myriad‑years Universe Genius Battle!

If you can break into the top thousand in the Universe Genius Battle, you become a core member of the Virtual Universe Company!

Backed by the massive Virtual Universe Company, both Earth's security and one's own resource acquisition will become far simpler.

And that will be the moment these few truly rise rapidly.

"Babata, give Luo Feng three transfers of 10 trillion Universe Coins each, and urge them to cultivate properly!"

"Also, draft a training plan for me; I'll start cultivating the Combat Secret Art!"

After swiftly arranging a series of Earth affairs, Zhou Yang traveled alone to the Moon and began another closed‑door cultivation.

As the mysterious perception stamped in his Consciousness Sea continuously digested, his Law Perception level surged moment by moment.

The saved time allowed him to experiment with various Combat Secret Arts.

If Law Perception is the basic movement, then a Secret Technique is a complete set of fists and footwork that combines those basic motions!

Only through the combination of Secret Techniques can the true power of Law Perception be fully unleashed.

The upcoming Universe Genius Battle will all take place within the Virtual Universe.

At that time, everyone will have identical physical qualities.

What can be contested is each person's Law Perception and the degree of its application!

"Zhou Yang, your spatial perception is already extremely abnormal; I recommend you start cultivating the Flight Technique 'Control Space'. Your teacher back then cultivated this very technique, and you can borrow some of his insights."

"The Arc Blade Disc is no longer suitable for you; considering your growth speed, my suggestion is to go straight for the Source Divine Weapon!"

"This is one of the Controller's Nine Great Divine Weapons, sufficient for you to reach Realm Lord Level!"

"Also, your aerial weapon needs replacement; I recommend the fifth‑rank Mental Power Weapon 'Flying Star Plate'."

"And keep up the cultivation of 'Soul Seal' and 'Void Tower'."

Babata, acting like a diligent teacher, quickly drafted a series of training plans for Zhou Yang.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! You haven't even completed your basic training yet. Only when you successfully condense your first phantom body will you be considered to have entered the gate of the first level of Control Space!"

"The Nine Great Divine Weapons are the standard equipment for the Universe's top geniuses. You can't even master the first level — what gives you the nerve to call yourself a genius!"

"Too stupid, too stupid."

Under Babata's relentless urging, Zhou Yang trained almost forgetting to eat and sleep.

With the blessing of the Meteor Tear, his consciousness remained constantly in a state of void clarity, and his five senses were heightened nearly dozens of times over.

In this state, his speed at comprehending the Secret Technique could be described as advancing a thousand li in a single day.

After just one month, he successfully condensed the first spatial phantom body and successfully entered the gate of the Secret Technique Control Space!

Half a year later, the number of spatial phantom bodies successfully broke through ten, reaching the minor accomplishment realm of the first level!

Two years later, the number of phantom bodies had approached one hundred.

During this period, Zhou Yang also found time to attend a session of the 'Qianwu Auction.'

Besides purchasing a 'Source Divine Weapon' and a 'Flying Star Plate' for himself, he also successfully obtained a 'Derived Divine Soldier' for Luo Feng, as well as that 'Mo Sha Clan skin' which was especially important to him!

The Mo Sha Clan are the darlings of the spatial Fundamental Law, and moreover they are masters of the art of transformation.

Whether in comprehending spatial laws or in assassination combat, they can be called monstrous.

In the original story, Luo Feng repeatedly relied on his Demon Killing Race Clone to escape dangerous situations and seize enormous opportunities.

When the Mo Sha Clan skin was placed before Luo Feng, even Luo City Lord, always calm and resolute, could not help but redden around the eyes.

"Yangzi, why are you so good to me? What a pity I'm not a woman."

"Luo Feng, actually I once had a dream. In the dream, you were a great hero. One day, you would ride upon seven-colored auspicious clouds to marry— bah! To save the world!"

"So, work hard."

Whether it was Zhou Yang, or Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, all were immersed in frantic cultivation and advancement.

Time gradually passed.

Finally, on this day—

An incomparably massive suspended proclamation appeared in the sky of the Virtual Universe!
