Chapter 44
1 wave of fat
The Holy Light King's Divine Kingdom, Main Temple.
Zhou Tong is still in seclusion, cultivating his skills.
Although Zhou Tong had consumed most of the faith and willpower accumulated by hundreds of billions of people in the divine kingdom over tens of millions of years when cultivating the Great Salvation Technique and the Great Origin Technique, what remained was enough for him to cultivate two more of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
After a month, Zhou Tong mastered the Great Blessing Technique.
Then Zhou Tong used the Great Blessing Technique to transform the remaining faith and willpower into the blessing of chaos, which would then assist him in learning the other three thousand Great Daos.
With the support of the Holy Light King's resources, Zhou Tong not only cultivated the Great Five Elements Technique, but also made use of the Holy Light King's most abundant resources of light and time to cultivate the Great Light Technique and the Great Time Technique (original).
However, refining faith and willpower into chaotic blessings consumes a great deal of energy. Therefore, Zhou Tong mainly used it to enhance his cultivation of the Great Five Elements Technique and the Great Radiance Technique, which correspond to the lower-level laws of the Devouring World.
As for the time laws corresponding to the Great Time Technique, they are too difficult for Zhou Tong to learn at his current level, so he hasn't gone into too much depth.
Furthermore, even for peak-level immortal beings like the Holy Light King, who has reached the level of a cosmic venerable, there are not many time-related cultivation resources.
Therefore, Zhou Tong did not want to waste these time-related cultivation resources. At least until he comprehended the Lesser Destiny Technique and broke through to the Immortal level, he did not intend to learn the Law of Time.
Aside from time-related resources, the Holy Light King's most abundant cultivation resources are various treasures related to the laws of light.
Although Zhou Tong had never been exposed to the Great Radiance Technique before, with the blessing of the Great Blessing Technique and the saturation of a large amount of cultivation resources, Zhou Tong managed to master the Great Radiance Technique to perfection and even comprehend the domain of the Law of Light.
Although the Holy Light King has collected some of the Five Elements resources, she doesn't have many, and she also consumed a lot of them when she broke through to the Universe Venerable realm.
In the end, only a few dozen pieces of G-grade metal were found, weighing approximately ten tons. There was also a dead Immortal-grade Star-Eating Vine, along with the Purple Jade Hundred-Leaf that nurtured it and dozens of star cores.
As for water and fire resources, no precious treasures were found, only some common materials, but fortunately, the quantity was large enough.
After a period of practice, Zhou Tong only managed to master the Great Five Elements Technique into runes, without reaching perfection.
Fortunately, the Five Elements Realm has also reached the ninth level, just one step away from entering the fundamental laws.
With this, Zhou Tong's cultivation came to an end.
The remaining resources, aside from the enormous wealth consumed by the Holy Light King in his attempt to become a Universe Venerable, amount to more than 500 billion Chaos Units, which is equivalent to the wealth of an ordinary King-level Immortal.
In the universe, anyone who can normally attempt to break through to the level of a Universe Venerable and achieve the title of Immortal King will at least begin to accumulate wealth in the form of Treasure Points, or at least trillions in the form of Primordial Chaos Units.
This is why the Holy Light King failed to break through; otherwise, her wealth would have been even greater.
After leaving his secluded room, Zhou Tong glanced at the time; it was almost the end of Earth's calendar year 2062.
It has been almost three years since he embarked on his space adventure.
"It's time to go back!"
There is another Zerg hive of the Overlord level waiting for him on Earth.
When King Holy Light saw Zhou Tong appear in the temple hall, he immediately went to greet him.
"My lord, the remaining resources of the Realm within a Realm have been sorted out. Now that you have finished your cultivation, I'd like to report to you."
Zhou Tong nodded and accepted the world ring handed to him by the Holy Light King.
The Holy Light King explained, "My Lord, this World Ring is the one I used before. It measures 1 million kilometers in length, width, and height. All my remaining treasures and resources are stored inside."
Zhou Tong probed the world ring with his mental power, but there were too many things, and he didn't recognize many of them, so he reluctantly ended the inspection.
"Holy Light King, please tell me directly which ones are the most precious?"
"Yes, ma'am!"
The Holy Light King responded, waved his hand to open a virtual projection, and began his introduction.
"The most precious item is the weapon I used before: the Holy Light Scepter is a psychic weapon that combines the laws of light and time and is nearly a treasure."
The Radiant Sword is a melee Force weapon crafted entirely from G-grade metal. Finally, there are the Flowing Light Wings, also a special treasure combining the laws of light and time; it's not primarily for combat but rather a functional treasure.
Zhou Tong took out the Holy Light Scepter and the Radiant Sword from the World Ring...
"Bang!"
The Holy Light Scepter and Radiant Sword fell to the floor the moment they appeared; they were too heavy for Zhou Tong to handle with his current strength.
The scene was instantly awkward, and Zhou Tong's face turned red. However, even with the blessing of the nine seas of consciousness from the Great Origin Technique, his mental power could only barely move the Holy Light Scepter and the Radiant Sword. He could forget about controlling and using them freely.
Amidst the smirk of the Holy Light King, Zhou Tong, in order to save face, almost exhausted all his strength to retrieve the Holy Light Scepter and Radiant Sword back into his World Ring.
As for the shimmering wings, we'll see about that later.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside and talk."
At this point, Zhou Tong was already somewhat exhausted. He went into the room not only to rest, but also because there were hundreds of service personnel that the Holy Light King had hired in the temple hall, and it would be quite embarrassing if something embarrassing happened later.
After the introduction, Zhou Tong had a general understanding of all of the Holy Light King's legacy, resources, and treasures. When calculated in Hunyuan units, the total amount was close to one trillion Hunyuan units.
However, most of these trillions of mixed units are physical resources, with almost no cash, so Zhou Tong can't convert much of them in a short time.
Moreover, Zhou Tong cannot take all of this wealth with him; most of it must be left to the Holy Light King to maintain the operation of the divine kingdom.
As for the Holy Light King's Cosmic Bank account, because the Holy Light King possessed the deity of faith in a special way, the Holy Light King no longer has the soul imprint of the human race and can no longer log into the virtual universe unless she regains her human identity.
In the end, Zhou Tong only took away resources worth 100 billion Chaos Units. The Holy Light Scepter and Radiant Sword were too conspicuous, and he couldn't use them for the time being, so he left them to the Holy Light King.
The only piece of equipment Zhou Tong took with him was a pair of Holy Light King's Radiant Wings, which were crafted from the precious material [Millennium Light] obtained by the Holy Light King during his adventure.
Its design is very similar to the ribbons and feathers of angels in Diablo, a game Zhou Tong played before his transmigration. Its ability is to pause and distort time to a certain extent for flight and movement, and it can also assist in attacks.
The Radiant Wings are extremely valuable life-saving treasures, so even if Zhou Tong can't use them for the time being, he should keep them.
Then Zhou Tong also took away 10,000 beings from the fifth to ninth level of the universe-level divine realm. Of course, they were all converted into converts by Zhou Tong.
"Holy Light King, you should focus on comprehending and cultivating the Great Devouring Technique, Great Radiance Technique, Great Time Technique, Great Liberation Technique, Great Salvation Technique, Great Alchemy Technique, Great Healing Technique, and the other three thousand Great Daos that I have passed on to you in the Divine Kingdom. When I can go to the Cosmic Sea, I will find a way to get you a legitimate identity, and then you can return to the Primordial Universe."
"Obey my lord's command!"
The legitimate and reasonable identity that Zhou Tong mentioned is in relation to the original cosmic will. The Holy Light King was converted by the Great Salvation Technique, and the source of her power already belongs to the Three Thousand Great Daos.
If Zhou Tong rashly takes the Holy Light King into the Primal Universe, he cannot guarantee that she will not be suppressed or even destroyed by the Primal Universe, and he dares not take that risk.
Then, the Holy Light King used the Divine Kingdom Teleportation to send Zhou Tong back to the original universe.
After checking his location, Zhou Tong discovered that although he was still in the Qianwu Universe, he was quite far from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and it would probably take him two months to get back.
Although Zhou Tong has a faster way to travel than flying through the Dark Universe, his current strength is completely insufficient to withstand the energy consumption of the Great Teleportation Technique for teleporting over extremely long distances.
They could only obediently use the mechanical race's spaceship to travel through the dark universe and slowly make their way back.
