Universe Treasure

Zhou Zheng did not linger on the same step for long. After about ten breaths, he continued to climb. There was a time limit for climbing Dream Realm Mountain, only a hundred years in total, so he naturally could not stay on any one step for too long.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Zhou Zheng climbed step by step. On some steps, he would pause for more than ten breaths, while on others he would pass through in just two or three breaths.

In this unhurried pace, Zhou Zheng arrived at the top of the thousandth step in the blink of an eye.

However, no further power descended upon him upon stepping onto this step.

"This is?"

Zhou Zheng looked up and saw a blue fruit with countless intricate patterns on its surface, quietly floating in place.

The fruit emitted a strange fragrance, and Zhou Zheng felt his soul lighten as he simply inhaled it.

"Treasure?"

Zhou Zheng understood. This was what Baili Ze meant when he said that the farther one went, the more treasures one could obtain.

"There's treasure on the thousandth floor!"

After a moment's thought, Zhou Zheng waved his hand and stored the fruit in his magic weapon. Then, he continued walking upwards.

As it continues upward, the invisible force grows stronger, and the resulting environment becomes increasingly realistic, but it is still far from reaching the limit of Zhou Zheng.

In about three days, Zhou Zheng reached the 3,000th floor.

Here, he obtained a terrifying flame called "Glazed True Flame". This flame possesses terrifying power. If an ordinary Four-step Dao Lord were to touch this flame without using any means, he would be burned to ashes in an instant.

This is undoubtedly a very powerful treasure. Even if Zhou Zheng doesn't need it, he can sell it later.

Another month passed, Zhou Zheng reached the 10,000th floor.

Here, he obtained a treasure for the third time, but this time the treasure was simple and straightforward: one hundred million cubic meters of Chaos Spiritual Liquid.

To be honest, this is a considerable fortune. The entire net worth of a Four-step Dao Lord who follows the Ordinary Dao is estimated to be only tens of millions of cubic meters of Chaos Spiritual Liquid. This is his entire net worth, not actual Chaos Spiritual Liquid.

A genuine 100 million cubic meters of Chaos Spiritual Liquid —even some Heaven-Defying Dao Lord couldn't easily produce such a thing.

"That's really generous. I wonder what treasures await us further up?"

Zhou Zheng was filled with anticipation. To be honest, he had reached the 10,000th floor quite easily, and the fact that he had already gained so much from just the 10,000th floor made him feel that he had gained a great deal. Naturally, he had even greater expectations for the treasures to come.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Zhou Zheng continued walking upwards.

However, although Zhou Zheng was very much looking forward to the treasures to come, he did not disrupt his rhythm and paused slightly at each level.

Moreover, as the number of floors increases, the time that Zhou Zheng pauses also increases.

Three years Past in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng finally arrived at the 30,000th floor. The instant Zhou Zheng stepped onto the 30,000th floor, everything was calm and the invisible power did not descend. This made Zhou Zheng realize instantly that there was another reward!

"Haha, I didn't expect you to have risen so high in just three years!" A strange laugh suddenly rang out, which made Zhou Zheng slightly startled.

The next moment—

Wow!

A black light flashed in the Void, and then a pair of jet-black wings appeared. On the wings, a Black Bird with its entire body in black flapped its wings and flew.

"This is?"

Zhou Zheng sensed the unusual changes in time around him, and he was slightly surprised.

After arriving in this space located in the deep spacetime, the flow of time returned to normal. However, at this moment, the time flow around them fluctuated again the instant the black wings appeared. In Zhou Zheng's perception, the flow of time here could accelerate at any time.

"My name is Xuan Ling. What is your Daoist name?" the Black Bird asked directly.

"I am Cheng Tian!" Zhou Zheng looked at the Black Bird, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Are these wings my reward for reaching the 30,000th floor?"

"Yes!" Black Bird nodded immediately. He said, "This is the ' Xuan Ling's Wings.' As you can see, I am the spirit of this treasure!"

"The Xuan Ling's Wings?" Zhou Zheng nodded slightly, then asked, "Is this Eternity Supreme Divine Weapon?"

To be honest, Zhou Zheng's intuition told him that these wings were not simple.

Among treasures, the most powerful are the Universe Treasure, followed by the Eternal Divine Weapons. Eternity supreme-grade divine weapons are second only to the Universe Treasure.

Of course, the differences between the Eternity Supreme Divine Weapon are also huge.

The most ordinary Eternity Supreme Divine Weapon might be available for purchase with tens of millions of cubic meters of Chaos Spiritual Liquid, but some precious Eternity Supreme Divine Weapon might be impossible to buy even with billions of cubic meters of Chaos Spiritual Liquid.

Zhou Zheng felt that the Xuan Ling's Wings were extraordinary, which is why he guessed that they might be a top-tier Eternity Supreme Divine Weapon.

As for the Universe Treasure Zhou Zheng, he didn't even consider it.

How precious are the Universe Treasure? Most Eternal Emperor do not possess Universe Treasure; only the rulers and a small number of lucky individuals can have them.

Although Zhou Zheng had some expectations for the rewards of the 30,000th floor of Dream Realm Mountain, he was well aware that the rewards of this floor were far from reaching the level of Universe Treasure.

If the reward for reaching the 30,000th floor is Universe Treasure, then what will be the reward for the next floor?

However, when Zhou Zheng asked the question, the Black Bird smiled smugly.

"Eternity Supreme Divine Weapon? No, no, I am Universe Treasure!" Black Bird asked with a chuckle, "Cheng Tian, you should know about Universe Treasure, right?"

"You say you're Universe Treasure?"

Zhou Zheng Zheng's expression changed slightly. Something was definitely amiss. This level shouldn't and couldn't possibly contain Universe Treasure.

"I know you're a little incredulous!" Black Bird said.

"But since I'm here, it's to follow you. Of course, for now, it's just following you. If you want me to acknowledge you as my master, you'll have to wait until you successfully Dao Merge. If you fail to Dao Merge, I won't stay any longer."

"."

Black Bird was a bit of a chatterbox, constantly talking about the future. Zhou Zheng didn't respond immediately; he was deep in thought.

Given that most Eternal Emperor do not possess Universe Treasure, is it possible for Universe Treasure to follow Dao Lord?

Yes, it exists, but the chances are incredibly slim!

I never expected that he would encounter such a low-probability event.

As for the Black Bird's statement that it was only temporarily following him and would acknowledge him as its master after he Dao Merge, that was perfectly normal.

The Universe Treasure are different from the Eternal Divine Weapons. Although the Eternal Divine Weapons also have the spirit of treasures, they are still inanimate objects in essence and have no ability to act on their own.

In comparison, the Universe Treasure are free to move around; they are more like living Life Technique.

Dao Lord may fail to Dao Merge at any time and die. If the Universe Treasure easily choose Dao Lord to recognize them as their masters, they will have to go through many separations. Naturally, no Universe Treasure would be willing to do so.

Therefore, Zhou Zheng was well aware that the conditions mentioned by the Black Bird were indeed very normal.

"I have no reason to refuse!" Zhou Zheng glanced at the Black Bird. He was going to the Yibo Realm, and having a Universe Treasure as a trump card would greatly enhance his ability to deal with risks.
