Chapter 169 Two Strongest
Zhou Yang's heart moved, but he spoke to the old man in front of him tentatively:

"Senior, it doesn't matter whether it is a treasure or not. I wonder if I can learn some treasure refining techniques from you?"

He also suddenly realized that the most precious opportunity of this hermit was not some powerful treasure, nor the Nine Tribulations Secret Book, but his vision and inheritance as a powerful God King in his previous life!
The art of refining treasures is his signature skill that made him famous.

Like the Lord of Craftsmen, just with his guidance, his weapon refining level is almost enough to be the best in the entire primitive universe.

If one could learn some of his treasure refining techniques, it would be much more valuable than a top-notch treasure.

"Oh?"

The old man in front of him, the mysterious 'God King of Jin' who was reincarnated as a hermit, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"You little guy, what I prepared for the two clan leaders, no matter how precious they are, are just some personal belongings. But you are directly targeting my most powerful weapon?"

"Haha, senior, please don't be angry. I just want to make progress too much."

Zhou Yang smiled awkwardly, "If that doesn't work, Senior, just give me a piece of top-notch armor as a reward."

"senior?"

The rumored moody hermit just stared at him with a half-smile, until he got a little creepy, then he sighed quietly:
"You learned my Chaos Method and wanted to learn my Weapon Refining Technique, but until now, you still don't want to call me teacher?"

"what?"

Zhou Yang was stunned at first, and then his heart was instantly filled with ecstasy!

He actually agreed!
You know, in the original novel, even Luo Feng was deemed unsuitable for the art of refining by the virtual avatar left behind by the God King in the world of Jin, and thus missed out on this powerful inheritance.

And now, I actually have this opportunity!

Moreover, the Chaos Decomposition Secret Pattern Diagram deep in the Space-Time Prison was actually left by the Hermit!
He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to the hermit.

"Disciple Zhou Yang, hello to the teacher!"

This is the trend in the Devouring Universe. It is normal for a disciple to have multiple teachers, so Zhou Yang naturally has no psychological burden.

"Hahaha, good, good disciple!"

The hermit laughed very happily.

The further you progress in your spiritual practice, the more difficult it becomes, and the less help you will receive from external resources.

Even with his vision and accumulation, in this primitive universe, it is easy to cultivate immortality. To cultivate a cosmic master is also easy as long as the disciple is willing to work hard. However, to cultivate a master of the universe is extremely difficult and the road is bumpy.

As for taking a further step and cultivating the strongest person in the universe, any treasures will be useless. One can only rely on the disciple's own understanding and the accumulation of years.

And this little fellow in front of him, who had obtained a strong inheritance from somewhere, had actually embarked on the path of chaos fusion ahead of time, and seemed to be extremely talented, which gave him a great surprise.

If this talent can be maintained, there may be a glimmer of hope in the future to transcend reincarnation and become the master of chaos.

Although this glimmer of hope is still extremely slim at present, it is far beyond any life he has seen in this primitive universe.

And if Zhou Yang has enough luck and understanding, and can go one step further after becoming the Lord of Chaos, then he can be a great help to his revenge plan.
This was also the main reason why he was willing to show up and contact Zhou Yang after careful consideration.

"My disciple, since you have accepted me as your teacher, I cannot be stingy."

The hermit smiled and said, "Just focus on your retreat and break through to the immortal realm. During this time, I will try to gather some materials and make a treasure that is most suitable for you. It will be regarded as a gift for your promotion to the immortal realm."

As he spoke, he handed something to Zhou Yang.

The object was plain and simple, like an ordinary black stone. "This is part of my treasure refining heritage. Once you break through to immortality, you will be able to comprehend it."

"The essence of cultivation is actually the comprehension and application of rules, and refining treasures is also a means of comprehension and application of rules. Especially now that you are trying to explore the path of chaos fusion, it should be able to promote your cultivation to a great extent."

Zhou Yang solemnly put away the black stone and then bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for the Dharma, Master."

"Ah."

The hermit accepted the gift calmly, and then gave another instruction:
"Although I am your teacher, I teach disciples, not secret methods. I don't care about life or death. I only provide resources and treasures. If you die in the middle of the journey, I will not reverse time and space to revive you. You should know that a true super-strong person cannot be taught."

"Disciple understands, and I will definitely work hard."

Zhou Yang responded respectfully.

"Ah."

The hermit nodded and said, "Okay, I have completed my mission. I will leave now. You should practice well on your own."

As he spoke, his eyes fixed on a certain place in the starry sky outside the earth, with a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, if I don't leave now, I guess the founder of your human race's giant axe will chase me away."

"Haha, you are joking, senior. We humans always welcome you to visit us. Don't blame us for not hosting you well!"

A hearty laugh came from the depths of the starry sky, and a towering figure with messy hair and a look like a savage appeared in the night sky.

"Easy to say."

The hermit nodded slightly, but his figure slowly disappeared from the spot.

"Huhu~~~"

The cosmic rules and the stagnant time and space that had originally retreated due to his existence began to gradually resume operation.

And the countless lives that had fallen into deep sleep began to wake up one after another.
"Boy, break through as soon as possible, don't waste too much of my time!"

The towering figure standing in the starry sky like a savage glanced at Zhou Yang lightly, and then left in an instant.

Everything on Earth began to resume operation. Neither the humans on Earth, nor the immigrants, nor the strong men stationed in the majestic palace in the solar system noticed anything unusual.

In the Mingyue Community, Zhou Yang sat under the pavilion, but he couldn't calm down for a long time.

I was just quietly accompanying my parents at home on Earth, but I didn't expect that the hermit, who was considered the most mysterious and powerful figure in the primitive universe, would come to me on his own initiative.

After a conversation, he not only accepted him as his disciple and taught him his powerful weapon-making skills, but also promised to create a most suitable treasure for him.

This experience is like pie in the sky.

And the founder of the Great Axe was the first to appear outside the Earth, and from what he said, "Don't waste too much of his time."
Could it be that the founder of the Giant Axe has been paying attention to me all this time?

If that was the case, then the clan's top leaders were paying too much attention to him. The time of a powerful being in the universe is so precious, yet they were wasting it on a world master like him?
“It seems that we really need to break through as soon as possible.”

Zhou Yang's gaze gradually became distracted. Before he knew it, he had spent nearly four hundred years of peaceful time on Earth.

After four hundred years of continuous growth and expansion, his inner world has now approached a certain limit.
