Turbulent space, deep within.

A fragment of spatial turbulence floats in the void, with a diameter of trillions of kilometers.

Above the fragments, the Endless Nether Sea rippled slowly, waves rising without wind. It was the undulating rhythm of the origin of space. Every wave that rose and fell affected the folds of the surrounding spacetime, sometimes tearing open imperceptible cracks, which were then smoothed out by the Divine Power of the Nether Sea in an instant.

At a certain moment, a colossal being gradually rose above the Nether Sea, its towering form reaching a height of millions of miles, its immense power permeating all directions. It was Tang Ping's Nether Sea Divine Power Clone.

This clone was surrounded by a faint, dark blue divine glow, and above its head hung a glass lamp with seven-colored light flowing around it. It was the Soul-Suppressing Glazed Lamp, a high-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure bestowed upon it by its clan.

Its body is covered by a thick layer of Dark Iron Battle Armor, with ancient defensive runes engraved on the armor plates. Every inch of it contains endless Divine Power, making it the best among ordinary defensive Supreme Treasure Armor.

The next moment, the Nether Sea Clone activated the power of the God Kingdom and instantly teleported to the Immortal Cloud-Touching Vine Divine Kingdom that he had left behind. After pausing briefly to confirm that there were no abnormalities, he activated the teleportation again and accurately arrived at a remote and deserted void area in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom God Kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, the clone launched a series of Teleportation, each Teleportation across hundreds of thousands of light-years, and it took many times before it finally approached the Solar System.

Every step of this operation can be summed up in two words: steady and cautious.

Although he is now the Universe Master, this is precisely the most crucial and weakest moment for him:

First, the location of the Nether Sea Clone must never be exposed. Even though the probability of being targeted by the Universe Supreme Being in the Alien Race universe is extremely small, there is a very small chance of death if they encounter it. Such a risk must not be taken.

Secondly, the location of the God Kingdom must not be revealed. The God Kingdom is the foundation of cultivation. If it is destroyed, he will most likely be stuck at the level of the Universe Master forever, which would be a great loss.

Tang Ping had never forgotten the deeds of a certain Immortal Emperor. That powerful figure had been defeated by an insignificant "little bug" at the height of his power, and was filled with regret before his death.

Therefore, he always adhered to the principle of caution. Even when meeting the Mountain Sitting Guest, he carried a high-level Soul Defense Supreme Treasure. In this way, even when facing the Universe Supreme Being, he could use the Supreme Treasure to buy himself time.

The more critical the moment, the less room there is for error.

In the outer reaches of the Solar System, there is Yongheng stillness. The cold starlight is diluted into a thin veil billions of kilometers away. Countless tourist starships of various shapes and sizes, like migrating fireflies, shuttle through the void along predetermined routes.

They swept across a seemingly empty area, their hulls passing through the "void" without hindrance. Unbeknownst to anyone, in this realm enveloped by the folds of time and space, stood a majestic figure capable of overlooking the stars.

That was the Mountain Sitting Guest. His 90,000-kilometer-long body was as majestic as an ancient divine mountain. He stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a blue robe, and his face looked like that of an old man who was aged but vigorous. A pair of transparent and crystalline horns on his forehead slanted upwards, exuding an ancient aura.

He felt an eerie disconnect from the surrounding void. Starships passed right through him without leaving a trace of collision, as if he were in a dimension parallel to his current timeline but never intersecting with it, silent as an ancient rock, indifferent to the interstellar clamor before him.

The next moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the void in front of the Mountain Sitting Guest. It was not a physical tremor, but a distortion of the Space-Time Origin. The originally evenly distributed energy receded like a tide, and an indescribable "rift" slowly unfolded. A pair of giant eyes broke through the dimensional barrier and suddenly opened.

Its single pupil spans thousands of kilometers, several times larger than the entire Huaxia continent. The whites of its eyes are Chaos dark gold, and deep within its pupils surge the light and shadow of galaxy birth and annihilation. Every blink causes the surrounding spacetime to tremble.

The crew members, however, were completely unaware of this deadly anomaly and continued to sail smoothly within the "safe zone."

Behind the giant eyes, the divine body gradually appears.

A towering figure slowly stood in the dimension of time and space, its skin fair and translucent, as if carved from warm jade that had been there for ten thousand years, yet faint blood-red threads ran beneath its skin, adding a touch of eeriness and mystery.

This giant, over a million kilometers tall, stood tall and imposing. Its shoulder armor, covered in dark patterns, broke through the void first, each plate as thick as an asteroid. Then came its upright torso and long, powerful limbs.

Finally, the million-kilometer-long body slowly stretched out in the void, instantly crushing the oppressive feeling brought by the 90,000-kilometer-long body of the Mountain Sitting Guest. It was Tang Ping's Nether Sea Clone.

Every inch of his skin reflected the trajectory of the stars. The void around him could not withstand his size and energy, and fine spatial cracks began to appear. Deep within the cracks was darkness that devoured everything, but it was forcibly held up by the faint light emanating from his divine body.

The next moment, the giant's enormous mouth slowly opened, and a deep voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout this dimension, "Teacher Mountain Sitting Guest, I'm older than you, hehe."

The Mountain Sitting Guest:

A moment later, inside the Sun Temple.

"Hehe, teacher, please have some tea!" Tang Ping grinned respectfully as he personally poured tea for the old man in blue before him.

The Mountain Sitting Guest took the teacup, took a leisurely sip, and then casually inquired about Tang Ping's family situation.

The topic veers off into the changes of the Earth and the various secret patterns passed down from the Primal Universe.

Only when he caught a glimpse of the barely concealed anxiety in Tang Ping's eyes did the Mountain Sitting Guest smile and put down his teacup. With a flick of his wrist, an ancient Space Ring floated in mid-air, its interior faintly glowing with spiritual light, clearly containing Heavy Treasure.

"Hehe, you're too young and too impatient. When you reach my age, you'll understand that a hundred million years or a hundred billion years is just a fleeting moment, gone in an instant."

The most important thing in life is patience.

With a flick of his finger, three beams of light flew out from the ring and hovered between the two of them.

"The first of these three treasures is called the Origin Soul," which is an extremely special supreme Soul Defense Supreme Treasure. It is not just a simple defensive artifact; once integrated into the soul, it can directly enhance the soul's essence.

Furthermore, the Origin Soul can give birth to sub-souls such as soldier souls, General Soul, King Soul, and Emperor Soul, and only the souls of Earthling can bear and use these sub-souls, which are in harmony with the foundation of your race.

The Mountain Sitting Guest paused, then added, "This Origin Soul originally belonged to your second senior brother, the Yan God Race, the leader of the Emperor Yan Clan. Recently, he has been focusing on quiet cultivation and no longer getting involved in cosmic conflicts. Knowing that I had taken you as my disciple, he cared for you and specially entrusted me to modify and adapt it for you, giving it to you as a protective charm."

Emperor Yan? Caring and protecting? Tang Ping fell into deep thought.

Before Tang Ping could think further, the Mountain Sitting Guest pointed to the other two beams of light and slowly introduced the remaining two Peak Treasure.

"The second item is Peak Attack Supreme Treasure longsword; you can name it yourself. This sword was forged using primordial Chaos meteorite iron born at the beginning of the universe as its base, tempered with the core of a star over billions of years, and then fused with Nether Cold Marrow..."

It is forged from dozens of rare natural materials, including Purple Gold Thunder Crystal.

The sword possesses its own unique rhythm of Space-Time Dao, resonating with the Origin of the Universe. The countless attack runes engraved on its blade require you to comprehend and deduce them yourself; with each step you grasp, the sword's power increases.

With a flick of his finger, the Mountain Sitting Guest released a long, narrow sword that floated out. The sword was as smooth as black jade, and the blade gleamed with a cold, dark silver light. Although it had no outward sharpness, it exuded a sharpness that could cut through everything.

"This sword has three forms, with each form increasing in power. When the first form is activated, both Soul Attack and physical attacks can be amplified a thousandfold; the second form amplifies it ten thousandfold; and the third form unleashes its ultimate power, amplifying it by a staggering one hundred thousandfold."

A single sword strike is enough to shake the very foundation of the divine bodies of Universe Master.

Tang Ping's gaze was fixed on the sword, his throat bobbing involuntarily.

Such an incredible boost, combined with his Nether Sea Divine Body, would undoubtedly cause his combat power to skyrocket, a thought that filled him with excitement.

The Mountain Sitting Guest glanced at his disciple's discomfiture, smiled calmly, and pointed to another Supreme Treasure Armor. The armor was dark gold, with patterns flowing like a galaxy on its surface.

"This is a supreme defensive Supreme Treasure Armor, its name is arbitrary. Every pattern is a defensive array, nested layer upon layer, making it indestructible."

"This armor also has three forms, each with a different defensive focus. When the first form is activated, it can reduce physical attacks to one-thousandth of their original value and Soul Attack to one-tenth of their original value;

The second form increases in power, but physical attacks are reduced to one ten-thousandth of their original strength, and Soul Attack Soul Attack reduced to one percent of their original strength.

The third form requires the burning of the divine power of the Universe Master to activate, at which point material attacks can be weakened to one ten-thousandth, and Soul Attack to one thousandth.

"This is a protective Supreme Treasure capable of turning the tide of battle. Once the third form is activated, it can withstand even material attacks from other Universe Master wielding super Supreme Treasure, making it virtually invincible in terms of material attacks. Unless you encounter a transcendent being like the Supreme Treasure, no one can harm you with a material attack."

If such Supreme Treasure were to appear in the Primal Universe, it would inevitably trigger a fierce battle among the Universe Master, and it wouldn't be surprising if one or two perished in the process.

Tang Ping's eyes grew increasingly ardent, and he rubbed his hands together with longing. His covetous look at the longsword was even more intense, and he wished he could put the armor on immediately.

Seeing his disciple's state, the Mountain Sitting Guest shook his head helplessly and waved his hand, pushing the three Supreme Treasure and a storage device in front of Tang Ping. The storage device was filled with spiritual light, and the outlines of various strange objects could be vaguely seen.

"This contains fragments of the origins of flesh and blood life, Metal Lifeform, rock life, and energy life, as well as various rare objects, ores, and spiritual fruits, all collected by me over billions of years of traveling the universe. They can be used to hone your Divine Power."

Broaden the foundation of your spiritual path, helping you to walk more steadily and further on the path to becoming the Universe Master.

Good apprentice, keep it up!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mountain Sitting Guest transformed into a wisp of green light and vanished from the Sun Temple in an instant.

Seeing this, Tang Ping hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly into the air, "Master, wait a minute! Won't you stay for a meal before you go?"

After waiting for a while, the hall remained quiet, with no response.

Tang Ping's gaze immediately shifted back to the Supreme Treasure and storage items on the table. His eyes shone with an astonishing brightness. He rubbed his hands together and rushed over, carefully gathering the three Supreme Treasure in front of him. He examined them closely, turning them over and over, unable to suppress the upward curve of his lips. He was bubbling with joy.

Is this what it feels like to cling to a powerful figure and live off a woman?

It smells so good!
