Above the waters of the Qingfeng Realm, massive celestial mountains flew at several times the speed of light, streaking like flowing light across the sky. Three figures, each emitting a faint white glow, gathered together.
“When Jiayu died, he didn’t even have time to leave a message. He must have encountered an extremely terrifying danger. Even within the inner regions of the Qingfeng Realm, it’s rare for someone like Jiayu Sovereign to die without leaving any message. Only in the core of the Qingfeng Realm would such a situation be more common,” said one of the powerful Shenyan Clan warriors.
“Yes, this time is indeed extremely dangerous.”
“We should follow the First Overlord’s instructions. Once we detect any suspicious or dangerous areas, we must immediately report.”
“I’m afraid this might be in vain. Jiayu’s place of demise probably isn’t even within the 193293 reference system.”
“Right.”
“This is Jiayu’s position several days before his demise. His true place of demise should be nearby. It’s even possible that he teleported into the inner regions of the Qingfeng Realm and died there.”
“Regardless, we must follow orders. I will take responsibility for this one-third area, Anyong will take that one-third, and Suinian, you take the remaining one-third.”
“Alright.”
Hua! Hua! Hua!
The three powerful Shenyan Clan warriors instantly separated and flew toward the vast waters below to begin their search.
…
The waters of the Qingfeng Realm were simply too vast, with a large number of instinct-driven creatures known as “water flow spirits” deep within. Even with nearly a hundred factions involved, no one dared to claim they had explored the entire area. Moreover, as time passed, the structure of the waters continued to change gradually.
Six days later.
“Rough exploration completed.”
“I’ve also explored.”
“Nothing found.”
The three Cosmic Sovereigns met, looking at each other in disappointment. Without any clues, what should they do?
“One reference system is too large. Our search relies on domain-type treasures, capable of scanning a radius of several light-years at once,” said Sovereign Anyong directly. “This method is fast, but some treasure locations, influenced by the entire Qingfeng Realm, cannot be detected by domains.”
“We understand that, but what can we do? Are we really going to explore each place one by one?”
“How can we explore? Forget about other things, just a one-light-year journey, walking slowly and checking each place, how long would that take? How long would it take to cover a cubic area one light-year in length, width, and height?”
Exploration was not simply about flying.
Just like the deceased Jiayu Sovereign, he would cautiously explore caves, and after finding no treasures, he would retreat and move to the next canyon, cave, mountain peak, or plant cluster, etc., progressing extremely slowly. A straight-line journey of one light-year might take ten thousand eons.
And for a cubic area one light-year in length, width, and height!
It would take an eon of 100 million years, still far from enough!
“Detailed exploration is simply impossible; we can only do a rough exploration.”
“Report back then.”
“Yeah, report back.”
…
Helplessly, Sovereign Anyong and the other two could only report back.
“Continue searching!”
“Jiayu was in that reference system long before his demise. When he truly perished, he might have left that reference system. You three… do a rough exploration of the hundred reference systems surrounding the 193293 reference system.” The First Overlord issued the command.
“Yes.” Sovereign Anyong and the other two could only comply.
It wasn’t that they resisted doing a rough exploration.
In the blink of an eye, several more years had passed. The three of them, relying on their domain-type treasures, explored all the surrounding hundred reference system areas. By sheer luck, they even obtained a high-level treasure weapon hidden deep within a large canyon and discovered two suspicious locations… but when the Sixth Overlord of the Shenyan Clan personally came to investigate, he found nothing significant.
“Truly a waste of effort.”
“Who knows where Jiayu died? Perhaps within the inner regions of the Qingfeng Realm’s main mountain!”
A complete waste of effort.
The Shenyan Clan also conducted a thorough investigation for a long time.
First, they investigated the most probable aquatic regions. Second, they verified whether Jiayu Sovereign’s treasures had surfaced in the possession of other alien powerhouses. Third, the Sixth Overlord personally conducted the investigation…
In the end, they could only admit defeat.
Without any results, normally if a Shenyan Clan warrior was killed, other members of the Shenyan Clan would not easily give up! But this time… unable to find any traces, they could only swallow their anger. Sovereign Anyong, Sovereign Suinian, and Sovereign Buzhen naturally disbanded and no longer continued searching.
Sovereign Suinian and Sovereign Buzhen left directly.
Only Sovereign Anyong continued deeper into the waters…
“Before his demise, I met with Jiayu. At that time, he seemed to have found something in the waters and continued to explore there. There’s a high chance he perished in the waters. I’ll carefully investigate the 193293 reference system.”
…
Time passed, and it had already been twelve years since Jiayu Sovereign’s demise.
“They say the Qingfeng Realm is dangerous, one of the three deadly places.”
“I’ve been here for thirty years and haven’t encountered any real danger.” Luo Feng soared through the void, gazing at the endless waterfalls tumbling down from the towering main peak of the Qingfeng Realm.
**Boom—**
The colossal waterfall, stretching millions of light-years high, with each droplet as massive as a star, struck with terrifying force.
If this impact could be focused on a single point, even a Cosmic Sovereign might be annihilated!
However, dispersed and constantly impacting the waters below, it caused the vast waters to continuously change.
“I should take a look at the main mountain of the Qingfeng Realm.”
“After all, not entering the mountain itself, the danger isn’t that great.” Luo Feng repeatedly teleported.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
He quickly approached the main mountain of the Qingfeng Realm… This was the first time in thirty years since arriving at the Qingfeng Realm that he had gotten this close to the main mountain.
It’s said that “seeing the mountain may kill the horse,” and even with teleportation, Luo Feng felt quite tired after teleporting more than 30 million light-years… he was already very close to the main mountain.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Luo Feng stopped mid-air. Ahead was the main mountain of the Qingfeng Realm, seemingly blocking the endless cosmic sea, but Luo Feng frowned and looked down.
“What…?”
“My Shiwu Wings?” Luo Feng looked back at the Shiwu Wings behind him, which occasionally trembled slightly.
Summoning!
As if two magnets were attracting each other, the Shiwu Wings were now being attracted.
“A very weak summoning, seems to be from that direction? From deep within the waters.” Luo Feng looked down at the endless waters below, frowning. This wasn’t the first time he had experienced this. Back then, Tianyang Venerable’s “Light Feather Wings” and his own wings had attracted each other, but that attraction was incredibly strong.
This attraction, however, was very weak, to the extreme.
“Could it be the third pair of wings is down there?” Luo Feng thought to himself.
“Let me go check.”
Swoosh!
Luo Feng first teleported ten light-years downward.
“Stronger now.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up as the Shiwu Wings behind him began to tremble more intensely, clearly indicating a strong summoning.
“Go down.”
Luo Feng teleported again, boom~~~ already entering the shallow water zone of the endless waters.
“Boom~~~” The Shiwu Wings on Luo Feng’s back began to tremble violently.
“Such a strong summoning.” Luo Feng’s face lit up with excitement as he immediately expanded his Golden Country… a hazy golden light instantly radiated outward, forming a vast hazy golden area with a radius of ten light-years, though this wasn’t the full extent of the Golden Country’s capabilities. However, in the dangerous waters, Luo Feng dared not teleport too far.
Flash!
Luo Feng advanced another three light-years, already entering the dangerous zone, making it impossible to teleport freely anymore. Long-distance teleportation within the ‘waters’ usually only dared to teleport to the shallow waters, and even with domain assistance in the deep waters, teleportation was limited to very short distances.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
Guided by the intense summoning, Luo Feng, with his familiar sense of direction, continuously approached the source. However, each teleportation was extremely short, only a few hundred million kilometers.
“It must be another component of the Shiwu Wings.”
“Hahaha, I knew it, I knew there were other components. I never expected to find them just in the outer regions of the Qingfeng Realm.” Luo Feng was very excited. When he initially obtained the pair of treasure wings from Tianyang Venerable, transforming the Shiwu Wings into ‘four wings,’ he discovered that the third layer of secret patterns was incomplete upon research.
Clearly, there were other components…
Originally, Luo Feng thought it might have been taken by other powerhouses in the cosmic sea. After all, there were many powerhouses who possessed wing treasures, and those powerhouses, finding a pair of treasure wings insufficient in power, might have given them to some Cosmic Sovereigns, etc. This was one possibility, while another was that they were within the Qingfeng Realm…
“Never thought it would be so easy for me to sense it.”
“I wonder if it’s on a strong individual or in some place,” Luo Feng thought to himself.
Luo Feng flew at high speed and quickly descended to the entrance of a cave.
“It’s inside.”
“The summoning is coming from inside.” Luo Feng looked at the deep, dark cave ahead and began advancing cautiously.
The cave was wide, winding, and unfathomably deep.
“Buzzzzz~~” The Shiwu Wings on Luo Feng’s back were trembling violently, forcing Luo Feng, their master, to use his divine power to suppress them, preventing the Shiwu Wings from flying away directly.
“This summoning is too strong.”
“The last time I was face-to-face with Tianyang Venerable, the summoning wasn’t this intense.” Luo Feng muttered to himself, “Could it be that my Shiwu Wings are more complete, so the summoning is stronger?”
He was quite puzzled by this.
Advancing cautiously…
It took him more than three hours of careful and alert movement before Luo Feng finally saw the distant curtain of light.
“A curtain of light?” Luo Feng cautiously approached, frowning as he looked at the distant curtain of light. Although the Shiwu Wings behind him were struggling desperately, seemingly wanting to break free and fly away, Luo Feng remained calm and cautious.
“This isn’t right!”
“This is very suspicious.”
Luo Feng frowned.
“If there were other components of the Shiwu Wings inside, and those components had no master, normally they should fly toward me.”
“If those components had a master who was suppressing them, then that master should be able to sense the summoning. Wouldn’t he be curious and come to check?” Luo Feng looked at the curtain of light ahead, “Based on my understanding of the Qingfeng Realm, usually only special treasures would have special situations like a curtain of light.”
Ordinary treasures, high-level treasures, and top-tier treasures were generally hidden casually in some corner.
Only some powerful treasures, even mysterious artifacts, would display special phenomena.
“A curtain of light?”
“The summoning of the Shiwu Wings.”
“The components didn’t fly toward me.” Although Luo Feng was deeply eager inside, even wanting to rush in directly, he dared not act recklessly given the Qingfeng Realm’s reputation for danger.
“This is very suspicious.”
“I’ll send my Mosha Clan clone to check it out.” Luo Feng naturally decided. Over the years, whenever he encountered unusual situations while exploring the Qingfeng Realm’s waters, he always sent his Mosha Clan clone first.
Flash!
A black-clothed Mosha Clan clone appeared beside him and flew directly toward the curtain of light. Upon touching it, he easily passed through.
