You're getting a bit too far.
"Couldn't you have waited until I've fully built up my resources before showing up? I've already wasted two chances. Any other peak-stage cultivator would be furious!"
[In 3021, it flashed by again.]
"Whatever."
In 3035, you arrive at a war zone and use your combat merits to retrieve martial arts resources from a warehouse, which you then slowly simmer.
[Mysterious Heart Grass, Fiery Blood Heart, Essence Fluid...]
Some things can't be eaten together, so you stored them in a ring with extremely limited storage space.
[It only has a few dozen square meters of space, yet it cost you six million battle merits.]
[A spatial ring possessed by only a few supreme beings, used to store their fighting bodies, has a storage capacity more than a trillion times that of this one... not a trillion times, but a trillion times!]
[But its value couldn't possibly reach 60 trillion; this small one is so expensive—purely because of its extreme rarity, naturalness, and irreproducibility.]
Yes, you feel that this so-called spatial ring is a "purely natural" product.
[Because it's not actually a ring, but a small piece of dark stone, but it can be manipulated with mental power to transform into a ring that can be worn on the hand.]
[You once transformed it into Bi Yuntao and launched a six-million-dollar Yun Shou attack at Ye Ranyi.]
Because you didn't feel anything, you took it off again.
It's worth mentioning that this "space stone" isn't particularly strong; according to available information, it could only withstand a single blow from a level two or three Overlord.
The larger its internal storage space, the higher its strength, but there are limits. It cannot transform into armor to block a supreme attack; its limit is that it can withstand damage from around ten levels of a dominator.
Furthermore, after it breaks, it won't become a "smaller ring" with more storage space but less; instead, it will be completely destroyed, and everything inside will be completely lost and can never be retrieved!
[In 3045, you feel that your potential is actually quite high.]
[Other peak-stage cultivators, with the amount of resources you've accumulated, would probably have maxed out their foundation twenty years ago, yet you still feel it's inexhaustible.]
Fortunately, we have 400 million battle merits, which is equivalent to killing 400 Great Demons at the peak of the Third Realm.
[And the more than two hundred killed at Liukong Tianchi, that also earned a massive amount of merit.]
"Such a profound foundation..." You believe this isn't due to its more than fortyfold increase in inherent quality.
[It essentially only increases your leveling speed and combat power; it doesn't require you to consume forty times the resources to reach the same level as others. It's good.]
[This limit to his potential... is thanks to his instantaneous return to true form!]
[In 3077, you learned about the progress of Beichen Guang.]
[There was no holy war, no life-or-death situations, and he had to take Jiang Yueli with him, so it wasn't nearly as miraculous as the last time.]
He was a hegemon who reached the age of ninety, and is now one hundred and seventy-seven, in the late stage of the hegemon realm.
It takes approximately 250 to reach the peak of the Overlord realm.
"This is the normal growth rate of the Chosen One without fighting every day, but by taking advantage of the fortune of the racial holy war and unleashing his potential."
Yun Shou was also filled with emotion: "You, Haji Guang, have fallen on hard times. It actually took you 160 years to advance from the initial stage of the Overlord to the peak... That's twice the time it took for the Tenth Prince!"
"Damn! No way! Old Ten leveled up so fast only after going through two major storylines. So you're a monster, a monster with an abnormally high level of luck!"
[In 3085, you will be 230 years old. You'll have a flash of inspiration every 3-4 years on average.]
Not panicking at all.
[You're ready to break through at any time; you just need to fully develop your foundation.]
[Upon breaking through to the Supreme Realm, he will condense the strongest divine power.]
In 3089, you occasionally returned to the Cloud Realm.
[I've heard rumors about you. It's said that Qinghe Village, where you once lived, has been transformed into a "sacred place," or rather, an "ancestral land," the birthplace of Yun Shou, the legendary figure of the Qinghe Gang.]
[You look out from outside the village and see that the little wooden house you used to live in, and the small wooden boat you used are still there... no, they've been replaced with new wood, just to resemble the original.]
[They even perfectly replicated the hole you blasted in the wooden door when you first broke through to become a first-rate martial artist. (Chapter 13)]
You feel a deep sense of nostalgia.
Yun Shou nodded: "After all, it happened a week ago."
While passing through a dark alley in Qingcheng, you overhear people talking about you; you listen closely.
Why does Tianren Yunshou preserve his history as a fisherman?
Yun Shou: "..."
"To elicit your sympathy, you all don't know this, but this story has been embellished... His real identity is that of a male prostitute! He sold ditch goods for the Qinghe Gang back then, a tradition passed down from my ancestors."
"It costs three coins per trip. My ancestors were the leaders of the Qinghe Gang, true members of the Qinghe Sect, renowned throughout the land."
"Many people can't believe that Yun Tianren used to be a rabbit seller, but think about it, how could a child with no parents and burdened with debt survive?"
[...]
[The last person concluded: "Why did Yun Tianren, after acquiring martial arts skills and becoming the gang leader, beat up my ancestor and demand his life savings?"]
"That's because he thinks he's so great now, that his price is too high, and that the old three-copper-coin price isn't good enough for him anymore. He's raised his price to five and a half taels of silver per time, and he even wants my ancestor to make up for all the difference!"
[You acted expressionlessly, summoning three hundred burly men within half an hour, and instructing each man to give you two coins afterward.]
Then you silently look up at the sky: "You should know who it is by now."
Yun Shou: "Understood. That Zhang fellow is dead." (Chapter 73)
Manager Zhang, right?
Something with grooves!
How dare they cricket at me like this among my descendants!
"Let your descendants from the Eleventh year of the Republic of China find out who actually made a living selling ditches!"
[Your secret identity as the Guardian of Clouds hasn't been revealed yet; only Bei Chenguang and a few others know that you also have the name Yun Shou.]
The current martial artists of the Yunyang Realm, as well as the ascended innate martial artists, are unaware of the relationship between "Celestial Cloud Longevity" and "Overlord's Cloud Guardian."
All they knew was that over a hundred years ago, under the guidance of a mysterious martial artist from the upper realm, the young fisherman Yun Shou underwent a complete transformation, becoming the foremost martial artist before ascending to the Azure Domain.
[After ascending, he returned several times, establishing the Xiantian Construction and Blessing Realm, and leaving behind a vast amount of martial arts resources. He is the third person from the Yunyang Realm to ascend!]
The first and second people were the couple, Bei Chenguang and his wife, who achieved dominance.
[But what they didn't know was that the "Yun Shou" who ascended to immortality in the eyes of the Yun Yang Realm people didn't exist in the Qing Domain at all!]
