After departing from the Heiwu Pillar Space, Luo Feng ventured further into the depths of the Cosmic Barge, where the environment grew increasingly severe and treacherous. Compared to the perils posed by powerful beings falling in battle, the inherent natural hazards of the three forbidden zones themselves posed the greatest threats leading to the demise of Cosmic Sovereigns. Although certain dangerous areas had been verified over extended periods to identify specific risks, unforeseen circumstances still occasionally arose.
Accidents.
Within the three forbidden lands, they could happen at any moment.
“Roar~~~” A pitch-black storm, tinged with a deep bluish hue, swept across endless stretches of space-time. The freezing cold contained within this endless storm had already solidified space-time into an utterly frozen and motionless state. Its chilling power was sufficient to instantly shatter and annihilate the divine bodies of Cosmic Sovereigns. If it swept over their divine forms, it could slice off chunks of flesh like a blade.
A streak of crimson light pierced through the raging storm, advancing at high speed.
“The deeper into the Cosmic Barge, the more dangerous it becomes.”
“Many areas even require riding a palace-class treasure. I believe only those with peak palace treasures could reach this far,” Luo Feng mused as he sat comfortably in the core control room of the Star Tower. He was seated on a soft sofa, with an elegant tea set on the coffee table in front of him. This tea set was specially prepared for Luo Feng by his wife, Xu Xin, and the tea leaves were naturally handpicked.
Amber tea in the teacup emitted a stream of hot vapor.
“Even for a Cosmic Sovereign, even if my strength rivals that of Bingfeng Sovereign, I still must remain inside the Star Tower,” Luo Feng held his teacup. “The many dangerous places I’ve passed through—just ordinary storms, cold currents, and flying rocks—could easily destroy top-tier palace treasures.”
Even the full-force attack of a Cosmic Sovereign could hardly damage the top-tier treasures of the palace.
Yet the natural environment inside the Cosmic Barge could reach such a level. This was still merely the ‘inner domain,’ albeit the deeper part of the inner domain… The ‘Heiwu Pillar Space’ itself also marked a boundary. Before entering the Heiwu Pillar Space, the dangers were relatively minor, but beyond it, the threats became significantly more terrifying.
“This is still just the inner domain! The natural environment already surpasses the full-force attack of a Cosmic Sovereign.”
“If it’s the core area, how terrifying must it be? Even a slight ripple of power would far exceed the strength of a Cosmic Sovereign himself,” Luo Feng thought inwardly. “No wonder even Cosmic Sovereigns wielding supreme treasures might perish in the core area.”
“Luckily, I have the map.”
Luo Feng felt increasingly grateful for the black token he had obtained previously. Within the secret chamber space of the black token, he discovered abundant maps left by past owners of the space. Originally, even with the Star Tower, Luo Feng wouldn’t dare to attempt the journey from the Heiwu Pillar Space to the ‘Cyan Token Space.’ However, with the detailed maps, he could choose an alternate route and proceed with confidence.
“This map is extremely important. I believe other members of the human race also urgently need it. If every human possessed this map, the number of treasures we could obtain would greatly increase,” Luo Feng nodded slightly before transferring his consciousness from the Primordial Universe’s Infinite Abyss into the Virtual Universe.
…
Luo Feng’s current clones and incarnations were distributed in various places. His Abyss Clone was stationed long-term in the Milky Way Galaxy, occasionally visiting the Zhusen Sect’s Crape Myrtle Island to receive inheritances. His Divine Power Incarnation was in a secret space within the Ninth Abyss, studying the secret patterns. Meanwhile, his Mosha Clan Clone was in the Heiwu Pillar Space, transforming into a rock to temper his will.
The universe teems with countless lives, but as long as a life can think, it naturally possesses willpower.
To this day, the Heiwu Pillar remains untouched by any powerful being… precisely because its mental assault is too overwhelming. No mighty figure, regardless of species, has ever managed to even lay a hand on it. The massive boulder where the Mosha Clan’s Clone resided was truly colossal.
Different regions of this massive rock experienced varying time flow rates. The entire rock existed within a time flow rate ranging from 3000 to 3120 times normal.
Ordinarily, when the Mosha Clan Clone tempered its willpower under such pressure, studying secret patterns and laws became significantly less efficient—only one-tenth of normal efficiency. However, due to the accelerated time flow, studying secret patterns and laws was still much more efficient than in the outside world.
…
Atop Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe.
“Teacher,” Luo Feng called out directly amidst the chaotic currents.
From the distant edge of the currents, a golden-robed figure approached. Luo Feng had originally been smiling, but his expression subtly changed as he noticed the chaotic currents around the approaching golden figure subtly shifting, faintly displaying scenes of creation and birth of myriad beings, and scenes of apocalyptic destruction.
Various scenes appeared and vanished intermittently.
“Luofeng,” the Chaos City Lord approached, his gaze appearing even more profound.
“Teacher,” Luo Feng immediately bowed deeply. “Congratulations, Teacher.” He wasn’t foolish; naturally, he could tell that the Chaos City Lord had experienced a breakthrough.
The Chaos City Lord smiled slightly, saying, “Just a slight breakthrough. I still have some distance to go before becoming a Cosmic Sovereign. However, this breakthrough has allowed me to vaguely sense that final boundary. The path I walk, the Dao I pursue, can indeed succeed. Once I cross it, I will become a Cosmic Sovereign.”
“Congratulations, Teacher. Heartfelt congratulations,” Luo Feng was delighted.
To become a Cosmic Sovereign, the most difficult challenge was forging a path—one that no other powerhouse had ever walked before.
Many powerhouses chose one path or another, but some ‘paths’ were not truly paths leading to the peak… perhaps they were dead ends! The Chaos City Lord had always been extremely powerful, and now, after this breakthrough, he had sensed the final boundary. This sensation of nearing the ultimate peak was highly accurate.
“The final crossing, no one knows how long it will take. If I fail to cross it before this cycle ends, then I will never cross it,” the Chaos City Lord sighed.
“Hmm,” Luo Feng nodded.
Only the Primordial Universe could nurture a Cosmic Sovereign!
“You came to find me, what’s the matter?” the Chaos City Lord asked.
“A joyful matter,” Luo Feng smiled.
“What joyful matter?” the Chaos City Lord also smiled.
Luo Feng didn’t elaborate further. He simply pointed remotely at the void ahead, his will reaching out. Instantly, the surrounding chaotic currents of the void transformed, manifesting into a colossal ship, a severed majestic mountain peak, and a cascading waterfall-laden mountain range, forming a vast mountain system… Within these three forms, numerous scenes emerged, extremely detailed.
“A map?” the Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng in surprise. “A map of the three forbidden lands?”
“I’m sending it to Teacher now. Please examine it carefully,” Luo Feng no longer played coy. After all, the three maps were extremely detailed, with extensive textual explanations. If he continued to demonstrate them himself, it might take three to five days to fully display everything.
Moments later—
After receiving and carefully examining the maps of the three forbidden lands, the Chaos City Lord was no longer merely surprised but astonished. The level of detail in these maps was simply staggering, far surpassing the current maps of the three forbidden lands possessed by the human race. This level of ‘superiority’ even made the Chaos City Lord feel a bit uneasy.
“So detailed a map? Even the maps of the two great holy lands of the cosmos might not be this good,” the Chaos City Lord appeared very excited. “Luofeng, where did you get this map? This map is invaluable; no one would recklessly discard it, and without sufficient strength, one wouldn’t dare to carry it around either.”
Luo Feng smiled, “Your disciple was fortunate in the inner domain of the Cosmic Barge and discovered a black token. After reaching the Heiwu Pillar Space, I entered the secret chamber space corresponding to the black token. It was in that independent space that I discovered the map.”
“A black token?” The Chaos City Lord appeared perplexed. “Black tokens aren’t particularly valuable. Each cycle era witnesses the fall of powerful beings, with some black tokens scattering here and there. It’s not unusual for you to have the fortune of obtaining one. But the independent space within a black token… it’s regarded as an ordinary independent space. How could it possibly contain such a precious map?”
“That’s right.”
Luo Feng sighed, “There was a continuous mountain range in that independent space. However, the cliff face of the mountain had been cut flat by a powerhouse from tens of thousands of cycles ago, even further back. Then, writings and secret pattern diagrams were left there… Thus, each successive owner of the space added to the map. Although there were over ten space owners who intentionally destroyed the maps in between, when I obtained it, nearly 900 space owners had enriched the map, which is why the maps of the three forbidden lands are so detailed.”
The Chaos City Lord was speechless, then laughed.
“Hahaha…”
“My race’s fortune, our fortune,” the Chaos City Lord nodded with a smile. “That’s right. Every space owner, when facing their final days and knowing their own race would perish, would naturally leave behind maps before their demise. Generation after generation, doing this, your independent space with the black token alone makes it extremely valuable. Everyone who has obtained it can be considered fortunate.”
“Come, come, come, quickly follow me to see Ju Fu. Your contribution this time is truly immense,” the Chaos City Lord urged. “No matter what, our race must reward you greatly. With such detailed maps of the three forbidden lands, our human race can easily obtain more treasures. Our strength will continue to grow stronger in the years to come.”
“There’s no need for me,” Luo Feng replied quickly. “I’ve given the map to Teacher. Teacher can then pass it on to Ju Fu.”
“Alright, that works,” the Chaos City Lord nodded.
“Then this disciple takes his leave,” Luo Feng then departed, his figure vanishing.
The Chaos City Lord watched Luo Feng’s figure disappear, feeling a sense of awe. His disciple Luo Feng was truly extraordinary, his strength progressing rapidly, bringing repeated benefits to the race… Just like when Yuanzu rose, and when Ju Fu the Founder emerged, there were also many events that left people astonished and amazed.
The rise of every strong individual was a legend.
“My disciple’s experiences can also be called legendary… It seems he really might stand among the strongest in the future,” the Chaos City Lord smiled, then went to see Ju Fu the Founder.
…
In front of the simple temple.
“Heaven has blessed our race, blessed our race! Hahaha, with these maps of the three forbidden lands… even in the entire Cosmic Sea, there might only be a few factions that can rival us humans,” Ju Fu the Founder laughed heartily. “After the Cosmic Barge incident, I didn’t have many more opportunities, so I left the Cosmic Barge and returned to the Qianfeng Realm. The Qianfeng Realm was my lucky place. After the fall of Sovereign Yuan’ao, the maps were divided up. I had been troubled by the incompleteness of my map, but with this new map to supplement it, I can be more at ease within the Qianfeng Realm.”
“Chaos,” Ju Fu said directly, “Luo Feng’s contribution this time is immense. Let’s set it at 20,000 contribution points.”
“Good,” the Chaos City Lord nodded.
“You also work hard and take another step forward, entering the ranks of the Cosmic Sovereigns!” Ju Fu sighed. “At that time, our human race will naturally become even stronger! With your help then, perhaps I can also try… to figure out a way to rescue Yuanzu.”
The Chaos City Lord nodded slightly.
He was aware of this matter too…
Yuanzu was permanently sealed away; how difficult would it be to come out again? However, as long as one’s strength was sufficient, nothing was absolutely impossible.
