Chapter 379, The Pulling Silk Diagram
In the Qingyuan Secret Realm, Palace Master Qingying and Lord Yinhe returned together to report.
This time, it's not just the Shadow Blade Master who's here; the five strongest beings in the universe—the Giant Axe Founder, the Chaos God, the Peng Gong God, the Dark Demon God, and the Mingwu God—have also arrived.
After all, once that black divine wood artifact is removed from the primordial universe, the primordial universe's fundamental will will lean more towards humanity for a period of time. This means the Starry Sky Beast Alliance and the Ancestral God Sect don't need to fight for territory, so they aren't particularly keen on this matter. Of course, part of the reason is that the Azure Shadow Palace Master's strength is too powerful and unpredictable. If it were the situation where the six peak races stood side-by-side, there would likely have been a chaotic war.
Moreover, they were all curious about strange objects.
This is second only to the most powerful treasure. In the hands of a strong person, there is no need to comprehend the secret runes; they can unleash their strongest power simply by picking it up. If this were hundreds of thousands of epochs ago, even the creator of the giant axe would probably be envious.
But for now, it's just like that.
"Take it out of the primordial universe." The black divine tree was examined by several of the strongest individuals in turn for a while before finally returning to Ye Muxuan's hands. The Chaos True God spoke up, "We can't leave it in the primordial universe forever, or the Ancestral God Sect will come looking for us."
The other strongest beings in the universe nodded in agreement.
But who will go?
Humanity now occupies 40% of the best territories in the primordial universe, the largest territory in history. From the Venerable Ones to the Lords of the Universe, humanity is working hard to cleanse and stabilize these territories. Tens of thousands of years is a very short time, and the newly occupied territories are far from stable; they are currently unable to leave.
"Luo Feng, go ahead." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, weighed the black divine wood in his hand. After scanning the area, he said, "The Qianwu Universe Kingdom and several nearby Universe Kingdoms are all under your jurisdiction. The Qianwu Kingdom Lord and the Northern Ming Venerable and the Southern Li Kingdom Lord are managing them for you. You can go out and take a look."
"Simply practicing hard won't make you a true strongman; you need to constantly fight against different opponents to take that step."
The human race's territory is now vast, far exceeding what five or six thousand cosmic kingdoms could divide. Therefore, the old practice of one Venerable managing the territory of one cosmic kingdom is clearly no longer feasible. The solution is to merge the original human heartland territories—often consisting of three to five, or even ten or more adjacent cosmic kingdoms—into a single super-large cosmic kingdom, managed by mid-level or even low-level cosmic Venerables. Meanwhile, high-level Venerables and even overlords reside in the border regions.
During this period, the Lord of the Universe may even govern a portion of it.
This is also why humans and even most of the Lords of the Hongmeng Universe have not entered the Cosmic Sea. Apart from the strongest beings in the universe, the alien races of the Hongmeng are actually stronger than humans, so they also occupy 20% of the territory.
Even the Golden Horn Clan, which possesses top-tier overlords, now has a territory slightly smaller than the original Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Although it is outside the human race's territory, it is a territory that truly belongs to them, a legitimate territory approved by the Hongmeng Palace.
Because of its unique nature, Earth cannot be moved. Therefore, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom where Earth is located, along with the eight neighboring universe kingdoms, were combined into a large "Galaxy Universe Kingdom" that governed the original nine universe kingdoms and belonged to the Galaxy Lord Luo Feng.
Over these tens of thousands of years, Luo Feng not only focused on creating his own secret techniques and accepting inheritances, but also ruled this territory with the help of the rulers of the Qianwu Kingdom. This was also because the rise of Earthlings was relatively recent, less than two hundred thousand years, which is why the three rulers of the Qianwu Kingdom did not take over as new rulers, but continued to assist Luo Feng.
"Okay, teacher." Luo Feng nodded and accepted the task.
Clearly, the Master of Shadow Blades believed that with his current strength, there was no point in training him in the Primal Universe or even on the Primal Star, and that he needed to go to the Cosmic Sea for further training.
Seeing that Ye Muxuan had already made arrangements, the Chaos True God and the others naturally wouldn't interfere, as long as the Black Divine Tree wasn't brought into the Primordial Universe. After all, the person who knew Luo Feng's strength best was his teacher, the Shadow Blade Master; they wouldn't let him die in the cosmic sea.
Besides, there are some Universe Lords in the Hongmeng Alliance, as well as Universe Lords from its allies, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance and the Ancestral God Cult. He won't be going there alone.
"Teacher, what about the Lord of Yuan'ao?" The Palace Master of Qingying listened from the side and only asked about this matter after they made a decision.
"Kill him, he's useless." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, spoke, easily deciding the life or death of a universe lord. "As for his belongings, keep one item, and put the rest into the clan's treasury."
The Lord of Yuan'ao, a solitary cosmic ruler enslaved by King Zhenjia of the Cosmic Sea, couldn't possibly possess any truly valuable treasures. His most valuable possession was the top-tier domain treasure, the Flame Sand Cup. The rest of his items, combined, were roughly equivalent to the Flame Sand Cup, worth only six or seven thousand treasure points if converted to treasure points, excluding the Black Divine Wood.
Neither the founder of the Giant Axe nor the Lord of the Shadow Blade considered this little thing worthwhile; they simply let the Palace Master of the Azure Shadow Palace handle it herself.
The Palace Master of Qingying Palace smiled and nodded, leading her Qingying Palace into the Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda to deal with the Lord of Yuan'ao.
With the matter settled, the Giant Axe Founders and the others departed, as their clans still had many matters to attend to. Luo Feng, meanwhile, received a vast amount of information about the Cosmic Sea from Ye Muxuan in the virtual universe.
"Coincidentally," Li Yan from the Hong Alliance was also going to the Cosmic Sea, so Ye Muxuan asked Luo Feng to visit Li Yan as a junior. The two then decided to go together half a year later.
This six months could not be wasted. Luo Feng made careful preparations and thought it over for a long time before finally deciding to have the Earthling himself take the Golden Horned Beast with him.
At the critical moment, the Golden Horned Beast, along with the Blood Cloud Palace, attempted to impersonate the Blood Cloud Palace Master. The Star Tower then used the Blood Cloud Pearl to disguise itself as a long shuttle-like treasure. Combined with the Calamity Armor, this ensured that the Blood Cloud Palace Master's prestige would not be diminished.
With the help of the arena inside the Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda, the Palace Master of Qingying Palace easily killed the Lord of Yuan'ao. The latter didn't even know where he was before he died, let alone self-destruct and injure anyone. He left behind several treasures and a Thread Drawing.
The top-tier treasure, the Flame Sand Cup; a pinnacle treasure armor; a pair of top-tier treasure round hammers whose power can be stacked, comparable to pinnacle treasures; a round shield, also a top-tier treasure; and a fiery red seed, a top-tier soul treasure, albeit the most common kind.
As for other miscellaneous treasures and ordinary treasures, Palace Master Qingying looked down on them even more.
Finally, the Palace Master of Qingying Palace picked up the Thread-Pulling Diagram, examined it for a long time, and, not daring to make a decision on her own, found her teacher, the Master of Shadow Blade, and handed the Thread-Pulling Diagram to him.
She had never been to the Cosmic Sea before and didn't know which place the map depicted, but anything that a cosmic ruler would collect was naturally extraordinary.
Ye Muxuan could understand it at a glance; it was a map of the deepest part of the inner domain of the Qingfeng Realm, and some parts even involved the core area.
After instructing Palace Master Qingying not to divulge the painting, Ye Muxuan put away the silk-thread drawing.
