The Map

After leaving the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar space, Luo Feng continued deeper into the Universe Boat. The environment, naturally, became even harsher and more perilous! Compared to the powerful beings falling due to fierce battles, it was the inherent natural dangers of the three absolute lands themselves... that were the greatest killers causing Universe Masters to perish. Even in some dangerous areas, where certain perils had been confirmed through long verification, unexpected situations would occasionally arise. Unexpected events. Within the three absolute lands, they could happen at any moment. “Roar~~~” A dark, deep-cyan gale, obscuring the heavens and earth, swept through endless space-time. Under the freezing cold contained within this boundless wind, endless space-time had long since solidified, devoid of any ripples. Its chill was enough to instantly freeze the divine bodies of Universe Masters into shattered dust. If it were to scrape against a Universe Master's divine body, it could carve off chunks of flesh like a knife. A crimson stream of light pierced through the layers of fierce wind, advancing at high speed. “The deeper one goes into the Universe Boat, the more dangerous it becomes.” “In many places, one must even travel within palace-type supreme treasures. I believe those who can reach this far... likely possess peak palace supreme treasures.” Luo Feng was currently in the warm and comfortable core control room of the Star Tower. He sat on a soft sofa, a set of exquisite tea ware on the coffee table before him. This tea set was specially prepared for Luo Feng by his wife, Xu Xin, and the tea leaves were naturally of the finest selection. Amber-colored tea in the cup emitted steaming wisps of air. “Even as a Universe Master, even if my strength can rival the Ice Peak Master, I must remain inside the Star Tower.” Luo Feng held his teacup. “Along the way, through numerous dangerous areas, some very ordinary gales, cold currents, and flying rocks could easily destroy top-tier palace supreme treasures.” Top-tier palace supreme treasures were items that even a Universe Supreme Master's full-power strike would struggle to damage. Yet, the natural environment within the Universe Boat could reach such a level. And this was merely the 'Inner Region,' specifically its deeper parts... The 'Black-Patterned Stone Pillar space' actually served as a boundary. Before it, the dangers were slightly less, but beyond the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar space, it became distinctly more terrifying. “This is only the Inner Region! The natural environment already surpasses the full-power attack of a Universe Supreme Master.” “If it were the core region, how terrifying would that be? Even a slight ripple of power would far exceed a Universe Supreme Master themselves, wouldn't it?” Luo Feng mused. “No wonder even Universe Supreme Masters possessing ultimate supreme treasures can perish in the core region.” “Fortunately, I have a map.” Luo Feng felt increasingly fortunate. When he had obtained the black token, its secret chamber space surprisingly contained detailed maps from successive space owners. Originally, from the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar space to the 'green token space'... even with the Star Tower, Luo Feng wouldn't have dared to go. But with a detailed map, he now dared to take an alternative route! “This map is extremely important. I believe other beings in my human race are also in urgent need of it. If every member of my human race possessed this map, the number of supreme treasures obtained would likely increase significantly.” Luo Feng nodded slightly. Immediately, his consciousness from the 'Endless Dark Sea' clone, far away in the Original Universe, entered the Virtual Universe. ... Luo Feng's current clones and avatars included the Dark Sea clone, which was permanently stationed in the Milky Way Galaxy, occasionally traveling to the Ancestral God Sect's Purple Thorn Island to receive inheritances! The divine power avatar was comprehending the secret patterns in a hidden space within the Ninth Abyss. As for the Demon Killer Clan clone, it had transformed into a rock within the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar space, honing its will. There are countless lives in the universe, but as long as there is life capable of thought, there is naturally will! No powerful being has ever been able to touch the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar... This is because its will impact is too strong; no powerful being, regardless of their life form, can touch its essence. The vast rock where the 'Demon Killer Clan clone' was currently located was extremely large. Different areas of that colossal rock had varying time flow rates. The entire rock existed within a time flow rate range of 3000 to 3120 times. Normally, when the Demon Killer Clan clone honed its will... under such pressure, studying secret patterns and laws became significantly less efficient, only one-tenth of normal! However, because the time flow rate there was much faster... it still studied secret patterns and laws with much higher efficiency than the outside world. ... Virtual Universe, summit of Thunder Island. “Teacher.” Luo Feng called out directly from within the chaotic currents. From the far end of the currents, a golden-robed figure approached. Luo Feng had initially been smiling, but his expression subtly changed upon seeing the figure... He clearly saw the chaotic currents around the approaching golden figure subtly shifting, faintly displaying strange scenes of creation, where all living things were born, and scenes of world-ending destruction. Numerous scenes, appearing and disappearing intermittently. “Luo Feng.” Chaos City Lord walked over, his eyes subtly more profound. “Teacher.” Luo Feng immediately bowed. “Congratulations, Teacher.” He wasn't foolish; he could naturally tell that Chaos City Lord had made a breakthrough. Chaos City Lord smiled faintly and said, “It's just a slight breakthrough, still a bit short of becoming a Universe Supreme Master. However, this breakthrough has allowed me to vaguely sense that boundary. The path I'm on, the dao I'm pursuing, can indeed succeed. As long as I walk it, I can become a Universe Supreme Master.” “Congratulations, Teacher, my heartfelt congratulations!” Luo Feng was overjoyed. To become a Universe Supreme Master, the hardest part was finding a path, one that no other powerful being had ever walked. Many powerful beings decided to walk this path or that path, but some 'paths' were not truly leading to the pinnacle... perhaps they were dead ends! Chaos City Lord was already extremely powerful, and now, having made a breakthrough, he had sensed that boundary. This kind of intuition, reaching the ultimate peak, was extremely accurate. “No one knows how long the final leap will take. If I haven't crossed it by the end of this reincarnation era, then I will never be able to cross it.” Chaos City Lord sighed. “Understood.” Luo Feng nodded. Only the Original Universe could nurture a Universe Supreme Master! “Why have you come to see me?” Chaos City Lord asked. “Good news.” Luo Feng smiled. “What good news?” Chaos City Lord also smiled. Luo Feng said no more, directly pointing to the void before him. As his thoughts commanded, the surrounding chaotic currents in the void began to evolve, transforming into a colossal spaceship, a broken, majestic mountain peak, and a massive mountain range formed by superimposed peaks cascading with countless beautiful waterfalls... Simultaneously, numerous scenes appeared within these three, incredibly detailed locations... “A map?” Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng in surprise. “A map of the three absolute lands?” “I'll send it to you now, Teacher. Please examine it carefully.” Luo Feng no longer played coy. After all, the three maps were extremely detailed, with extensive textual explanations and more. If he were to manifest them himself, it would likely take him three to five days to fully succeed. A moment later— After receiving and carefully examining the maps of the three absolute lands, Chaos City Lord was no longer merely surprised, but utterly shocked! The level of detail in these maps was truly exaggerated, far surpassing the human race's current maps of the three absolute lands. Moreover, this 'superiority' even made Chaos City Lord's heart pound. “Such detailed maps? This, this... even the maps of the two great Holy Land Universes probably aren't this comprehensive.” Chaos City Lord appeared very excited. “Luo Feng, where did you get these maps? Such invaluable maps wouldn't be carelessly left around, and without sufficient strength, one wouldn't dare to carry them.” Luo Feng smiled: “Your disciple had a stroke of great luck in the Inner Region of the Universe Boat and discovered a black token. Afterward, I reached the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar space and entered the secret independent space corresponding to that black token, where I found these maps.” “A black token?” Chaos City Lord asked, puzzled. “Black tokens aren't particularly precious. In every reincarnation era, when powerful beings fall, some black tokens scatter everywhere. It's normal for you to be lucky enough to obtain one. But a black token's independent space... is considered an ordinary independent space. How could it contain such precious maps?” “It's like this.” Luo Feng sighed, “In that independent space, there's a continuous mountain range. Its rock face was leveled by a powerful being tens of thousands of reincarnation eras ago, or even further back. They then left behind texts, secret patterns, and other markings... So, successive space owners, one by one, enriched the map. Although more than ten space owners intentionally destroyed parts of the map, by the time I obtained it, nearly 900 space owners had contributed to it, which is why the maps of the three absolute lands are so incredibly detailed.” Chaos City Lord was speechless, then burst into laughter. “Hahahaha...” “The destiny of our human race, indeed, our destiny.” Chaos City Lord nodded, still smiling. “That makes sense. Each space owner, facing their impending demise, and knowing their own race was doomed, would naturally leave behind a map before their end. Generation after generation, this black token's independent space, solely for this reason, has become incredibly precious. Everyone who obtained it throughout history was truly fortunate.” “Come, come, quickly follow me to see Giant Axe. Your contribution this time is truly immense.” Chaos City Lord urged. “Regardless, the race must reward you handsomely. With such detailed maps of the three absolute lands, our human race can easily obtain many more supreme treasures. The strength of our people will continuously grow in the coming years.” “There's no need for me to go.” Luo Feng quickly said. “I've given the map to Teacher; Teacher can then pass it on to Giant Axe.” “Hmm, very well.” Chaos City Lord nodded. “Then your disciple shall take his leave.” Luo Feng then withdrew, his figure disappearing. Chaos City Lord watched Luo Feng's figure vanish, a sigh in his heart. His disciple, Luo Feng, was truly extraordinary, his strength progressing rapidly, bringing repeated benefits to the race... Just like when Original Ancestor rose, or Giant Axe Founder rose, there were also numerous astonishing and jaw-dropping events. Every rise of a powerful being is a legend. “My disciple's experiences can also be called legendary... It seems highly probable that he will also stand among the ranks of the Universe Supreme Masters in the future.” Chaos City Lord smiled, then immediately went to see Giant Axe Founder. ... Before the simple divine temple. “Heaven blesses our human race, heaven blesses our human race! Hahahaha, these maps of the three absolute lands... With these maps, even looking across the entire Universe Ocean, perhaps only a handful of forces could compare to our human race.” Giant Axe Founder laughed heartily. “After the previous Universe Boat incident, I didn't have many opportunities, so I left the Universe Boat and returned to the Tilted Peak Sector. The Tilted Peak Sector is truly my place of luck. The map left behind after Yuan Ao Master's demise was divided, and I was troubled by the incomplete map before. With this map as a supplement, I'll have a much easier time in the Tilted Peak Sector.” “Chaos.” Giant Axe said directly, “Luo Feng's contribution this time is immense. Let's set it at 20,000 contribution points.” “Good.” Chaos City Lord nodded. “You also strive hard to advance further and enter the ranks of Universe Supreme Masters!” Giant Axe sighed. “At that time, our human race will naturally become even stronger! With your help then, perhaps I can also try... to find a way to rescue Original Ancestor.” Chaos City Lord nodded gently. He was also aware of this matter... Original Ancestor was permanently suppressed. How difficult would it be to get out again? However, as long as one's strength was sufficient, nothing was absolutely impossible.
