Core Region of Qingfeng Realm!

(Some content in the previous chapter was revised in the early morning.)

In the Virtual Universe, at the highest point of Thunder Island, stands Majestic Palace surrounded by a hazy, Chaos Qi flow.

The Chaos City Lord, dressed in a golden robe, stood in front of the palace, looking down at the vast Thunder Island below, his eyes as deep as the starry sky and the sea.

"Senior brother, what brings you here?" Lin Yan appeared out of nowhere and asked with a light laugh.

"Regarding the 'Lord of Five Elements' that Giant Axe just mentioned, Junior Brother Lin Yan, you've just arrived in the Cosmic Sea. If you encounter him in the Qingfeng Realm, it's best to avoid conflict." The Chaos City Lord looked at Lin Yan and smiled. "He dares to offend even the Divine Eye Clan and possesses rare treasures. Although you are powerful, Junior Brother, you might be forced to use your strongest move when facing such an opponent."

Lin Yan smiled upon hearing this.

"It seems you guessed it, Senior Brother."

"Is it really you, Junior Brother?" The Chaos City Lord had some suspicions, but he still couldn't believe it when he was confirmed.

When Lin Yan was in the Primordial Universe, he mainly studied and comprehended the "Space-Time Fusion Law". Even though he had some attainments in the Five Great Beast Gods, he was still just Universe Venerable. How could he transform into the "Lord of Five Elements" who caused the Divine Eye Clan to suffer a great loss as soon as he entered the Cosmic Sea?

And those armor treasures that are comparable to rare artifacts are extremely special and rare. Where did they come from?

Lin Yan said, "I originally planned to hide my identity and make a name for myself in the Cosmic Sea, but I happened to run into the Lord Suinian the Divine Eye Clan in that water. After a battle, his main body was killed by me."

"However, the Qingfeng Realm is one of the Three great forbidden zones after all. The Divine Eye Clan has a deep foundation here and can provide quick rescue. Later, I fought against the Lord Jin Chan, the Lord Anyong, and the Lord Buzhen. Considering the power of the Divine Eye Clan, I thought about it and decided not to kill them. I spared their lives and only accepted some benefits."

He briefly recounted the incident.

"The Lord Jin Chan, the Lord Anyong, the Lord Buzhen?"

The Chaos City Lord stared at Lin Yan in astonishment. These three were all powerful Universe Lords with considerable fame in the Cosmic Sea. Lin Yan had managed to push these three powerful Divine Eye Clan to the brink of despair even while concealing his identity. No wonder the Divine Eye Clan spread the news in the Cosmic Sea because of this.

"Junior Brother, I'm increasingly unable to understand your strength." The Chaos City Lord shook his head and sighed. "I originally thought that since you had just arrived in the Cosmic Sea, if you really wanted to hide your secret techniques, you would probably only be able to exert third or fourth-tier combat power for quite some time. I didn't expect you to have gone so far on the Path of the Beast God and even obtained such a special treasure."

He did not press the matter further.

My junior brother has always had a bunch of secrets and incredibly fortuitous encounters. Even when he was extremely weak, he possessed the Strongest Bloodline of mankind and the core of Origin Supreme Treasure. Now that he has obtained a special treasure comparable to a rare artifact, I am not so surprised.

"I just had some good fortune." Lin Yan didn't need to explain further.

"Offending the Divine Eye Clan isn't a big deal," said the Chaos City Lord. "However, their First Reincarnation Era is nearing its end, and they act extremely. I'm afraid even the Universe's Strongest will personally take action."

"Junior brother, you should still be careful. If your exact location is discovered, don't linger there for too long."

The Chaos City Lord didn't seem to care much about this.

When venturing into the Cosmic Sea, who doesn't offend someone? If we're talking about offending people, the Darkness Lord has offended far more forces, yet no one can do anything to him.

On the contrary, Giant Axe and the Chaos City Lord, considering the future of the human race, should act more cautiously.

"Senior brother, I know what I'm doing." Lin Yan nodded.

"However, there is a great gap in strength between the Universe's Strongest." The Chaos City Lord smiled and said, "If Giant Axe is lucky in his exploration of the Qingfeng Realm and really obtains a suitable Ultimate Supreme Treasure, with his strength... once he unleashes it, even the Divine Eye Clan will not dare to provoke him. At that time, we Primordial Universe Humans will be able to hold our heads high in the Cosmic Sea."

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

Although the Great Axe Founder was not a disciple of the Primordial Ancestor, he was probably the one who received the most guidance and instruction from the Primordial Ancestor. The only thing he lacked was... an Ultimate Supreme Treasure.

Gradually--

The news spread by the Divine Eye Clan did indeed attract some of the Universe's Strongest who possessed their own clans, or some powerful universe lords.

After all, obtaining an Ultimate Supreme Treasure among the Three great forbidden zones is extremely difficult. The fact that the Great Axe Founder had not obtained one even after countless years shows that such a treasure, which is second only to the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, is naturally extremely precious.

However, the message was too brief to be effective, and most of the powerful figures understood that the fact that the Divine Eye Clan could spread this message indicated their extraordinary nature, so they didn't take any major action.

However, this "Lord of Five Elements" quickly attracted the attention and importance of many powerful forces in the Cosmic Sea, and spread among the powerful figures of the three great cosmic eras.

Lin Yan himself was the most at peace, and continued searching for that Winged Space.

Time passes.

One year, two years, three years...

Six years have passed since he entered the Cosmic Sea. The controversy surrounding the "Lord of Five Elements" has gradually faded. As Luo Feng ventured into the Qingfeng Realm, his reputation Luo Feng from the Primordial Universe Humans gradually became known to the other powerful figures of the two great Reincarnation Era.

They also realized that while Luo Feng's own strength might be average, he was quite troublesome due to his Flame Sand Cup and the special treasure that allowed him to Control of Space-Time.

At this moment, Lin Yan finally discovered the existence of the [Winged Space] in the system messages.

[A significant opportunity has been discovered: the source of the Chaos Golden Wings!]

[The Chaos Golden Wings, a single-target Mechanical Flow treasure of the Eternal True God Level. Its source is the core component of the Chaos Golden Wings, carrying the energy generated by the Eternal True God using the complete Chaos Golden Wings. It supports only a one-time attack, but its full burst possesses some Saint Combat Power!]

[Requirements: Willpower (Not yet met) -- (World Master, requires willpower at the Universe Venerable level) (Immortal, requires willpower at the level of a Universe Lord) (Universe Venerable, requires willpower at the True God Level) (Universe Lord, requires willpower at the Void True God Level)]

[Opportunity Judgment Level: Mysterious!]

[The activation cannot be completed without meeting the specified conditions!]

The main Qingfeng Realm resembled an endless Cosmic Sea, and in a certain area near the mountain, Lin Yan stood deep in the water, looking down at the mountain peaks below, his brows furrowed.

"Found it, but... can't I activate the opportunity?" Lin Yan thought to himself.

The information about the opportunity was taken from a fixed, segmented area with a diameter of more than ten light-years. He was certain that the Winged Space was in this area, but without being able to activate the opportunity, it was really unrealistic to try to find it on his own.

"The requirements for recognizing the 'Source' as a master are extremely high. Universe Venerable must possess True God Level will, which I do not meet." Lin Yan shook his head. "However... my goal is not the 'Source' at all."

When he was at the World Lord level, his will was comparable to that of Universe Overlord. When he broke through to the Universe Venerable level, he had powerful divine power that nurtured a super consciousness, and his will naturally became even more firm, comparable to that of a cosmic lord.

Later, I received the "Heavenly Demon" secret technique as System Reward. Although I couldn't see the later cultivation content, it provided some guidance on improving my will. After tens of millions of years of tempering, my will had reached the limit of the will of the Lord of the Universe.

To reach a level comparable to the will of the Universe's Strongest, one must break through bottlenecks and undergo a qualitative change.

But Lin Yan's purpose was not "source".

"What I need is the exact location of the Winged Space so I can explore the passage that leads directly to the core of the Qingfeng Realm," Lin Yan thought to himself. "Now that we've narrowed down the scope to this point, we're not without options."

The method with absolute certainty... is Luo Feng's.

Luo Feng possesses the Slaying Wu Wings, which can sense the call of "Source". As long as you see which cave Luo Feng is going to, you can determine his location, but this will lead to an encounter with Luo Feng.

"There's also the 'Lord Jiayu' of the Divine Eye Clan. If his life trajectory hadn't been affected by me, he would have discovered that Winged Space while exploring the waters and perished immediately."

"This scene is very likely to repeat itself."

"I'll just wait and see."

Realizing this, Lin Yan immediately released his Xue Qiao Clone, which transformed into a white, beast-shaped Water Flow Spirit that drifted freely in the depths of the water, occasionally emitting high-frequency, ear-piercing cries.

Water Flow Spirit are life forms without intelligence or consciousness, and their strength is relatively average. However, they are difficult to deal with because of their large numbers and ability to draw upon the power of water.

Since the Xue Qiao Clone achieved Perfect Gene, its transformation talent has become even more perfect, but it is still Universe Venerable... If it were to transform into a cosmic lord, there might be many flaws. Fortunately, the Water Flow Spirit's Life Structure is very simple, and after the transformation, no one can see the flaws.

The Xue Qiao Clone, transformed into Water Flow Spirit, sometimes took on human form and sometimes beast form, drifting through the water at dozens of times the speed of light, while keeping an eye on everything happening in the area.

"Just wait now."

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then his figure disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.

In the past ten years, Lin Yan has cultivated for tens of thousands of years through the Time Palace. He has created the Strongest Secret Technique for the Five Great Beast Gods paths and has begun to study the Integrated Strongest Secret Technique.

"Splash splash splash..."

The Lord Jiayu has a handsome face, his whole body radiates a hazy white light, there is a halo behind his head, and a one-eyed phantom is inside the halo. He is slowly flying at the bottom of the water.

What he didn't know was that tens of millions of kilometers away, a white Water Flow Spirit was watching his every move.

After discovering the Lord Jiayu, the Xue Qiao Clone kept staring at him, but the Lord Jiayu was completely unaware of this and was still exploring on his own.

"Cave."

What appeared to be an ordinary mountain cave was being carefully explored by the Lord Jiayu as he flew inside when he suddenly sensed a very faint energy fluctuation.

"Energy fluctuation!"

The Lord Jiayu's eyes lit up instantly, his entire aura changed, and his gaze swept across every area in front of him, sweeping it with his divine power.

He moved forward very slowly.

Six hours later—

"Treasure."

"A great treasure."

The Lord Jiayu looked up, extremely excited. He saw a light barrier blocking his path, and it was impossible to detect the barrier by using divine power.

As a powerful figure from the First Reincarnation Era, he naturally knew what this undetectable light barrier meant.

The Cosmic Sea, one of the Divine Eye Clan's Small Universe.

"Jia Yu... has fallen!" The sigh of the Third True Master echoed throughout the entire Small Universe.

"He perished instantly, and his avatar didn't even have time to leave any detailed information. He must have encountered an extremely terrible danger. It's impossible for a mere expert to reach such a level; only some of the terrifying dangers within the Qingfeng Realm itself could accomplish this."

Under the arrangement of the Divine Eye Clan High-level Figures, the three Universe Lords of the Divine Eye Clan's waters were ordered to explore the waters of the 193293rd reference frame. If they found any strange or dangerous places, they were not to enter directly, but to report back immediately.

Six days later.

After a brief exploration, the three powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan found nothing and could only report back helplessly.

At this moment, after seeing the powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan exploring the surroundings, Lin Yan confirmed the news of the fall of the Lord Jiayu and knew that the cave he last entered was the gateway to the Winged Space.

"Right here."

Looking at the deep cave in front of him, Lin Yan immediately stepped inside.

The cave is wide, winding, and unfathomably deep.

He released a Green Line Devouring Worm clone to clear the way, nimbly moving through the cave, and soon discovered the light curtain inside the cave.

First floor! Second floor!...

The eighth floor! The ninth floor!

The core component of this Chaos Golden Wings, "Source," has as many as nine layers of light curtains!

As soon as the Green Line Devouring Worm clone entered the ninth layer of light curtain, it saw the incredibly vast and dazzling space around it, where countless rolling streams of Chaos particles were present, and an endless storm of dazzling blades swept everything away.

In that endless space, a seemingly infinitely large White Wings shone brightly, radiating an absolutely terrifying pressure that caused the "self-awareness" transmitted by the Green Line Devouring Worm to come to a standstill.

Call!

The Green Line Devouring Worm clone were swept away Strangulation by the endless Blade Storm.

"Go ahead!"

The Primordial Emperor City, faintly radiating golden light, flew through the cave. Lin Yan's eyes sharpened as he controlled the Primordial Emperor City to penetrate the ninth layer of light curtain.

In the endless, vast darkness.

The dazzling blade light created a storm that swept away everything. Just as it was about to attack the Primordial Emperor City, the Primordial Emperor City shrank dramatically, becoming as small as a speck of dust.

After the Primordial Emperor City shrank, only occasionally would a dazzling blade strike these dust particles.

Each of these blades of light was incredibly powerful, far surpassing the attacks of the Universe's Strongest. Top-Grade Palace-type Supreme Treasure would shatter instantly, and even Peak Palace Supreme Treasure wouldn't last long.

However, it had little impact on the Primordial Emperor City.

Whoosh—

Lin Yan instantly burning Divine Power to activate the Star Shifting Lamp and the Great Town Mountain Tuo, enveloping the entire Mysterious Space.

The endless Blade Storm raged, shattering space and time into an unbreakable chasm, but some spaces within the edge rocks could still be completely controlled.

"Found it!" A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he quickly discovered the cave passage that led directly to the core of the Qingfeng Realm.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan immediately flew over in the Primordial Emperor City. It was a dark red cave passage. The Primordial Emperor City passed directly through a layer of light curtain and entered a dark passage with a faint dark red hue.

This passage is a million kilometers high and endlessly deep.

He once again sent a Green Line Devouring Worm clone to lead the way, while the Primordial Emperor City followed behind, maintaining its domain and remaining vigilant as it flew cautiously through the passage.

The passage had occasional forks, and Lin Yan chose the largest fork to proceed, memorizing the map as he went, and continued onward.

After flying for more than thirty light-years, Lin Yan finally saw the distant horizon.

It resembled a vast fiery cavern, with streams of fiery lava surrounded by red, cyan, and gray halos, rumbling and rolling within the cavern, crisscrossing along hundreds of lava channels, extending towards unknown ends.

The surrounding space was completely solidified, without the slightest Space Fluctuation, making teleportation impossible.

Endless flames also filled the surroundings.

The Green Line Devouring Worm clone, lacking armor protection, Annihilation in the surrounding air before it even touched the flames.

"Stone pillars".

Lin Yan carefully observed the stone pillars in the fiery cave. At first glance, they seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, it appeared that every grain of sand in the pillars could refract light, as if there were many spaces within them.

"The remains of Jie Fanzi are here."

Lin Yan soon spotted a stone pillar not far away, with a faint claw mark on its surface. The claw mark was about the size of a normal Earthling hand, with four fingers, and was deeply imprinted on the stone pillar.

Whoosh!

The Primordial Emperor City flew to the claw mark on the stone pillar and touched the sand grain in the center of the claw mark that was emitting a faint aura. It was directly absorbed into the space contained within the sand grain.

A moment later—

The Primordial Emperor City left this sandy space, and in front of Lin Yan were two items.

One of them was a blue pendant with carvings of strange beasts.

There was also an incomparably beautiful silk cloth, its black and gold colors intertwined, radiating an aura.

"A token of the Cosmic Boat, one of the Three great forbidden zones." Lin Yan held the blue beast-carved pendant. "Each token corresponds to a huge secret chamber, and each secret chamber is an independent space. Apart from taking the Ultimate Supreme Treasure with him to Enter Reincarnation, Jie Fanzi left all his other treasures and inheritances there."

"And this Silk Thread Map." Lin Yan looked at the black and gold intertwined silk fabric, which was indeed the Silk Thread Map.

This Silk Thread Map is even larger than the one that Master Yuan Ao took out. It contains a portion of the map of the Cosmic Boat and is extremely valuable.

"I've got Jie Fanzi's legacy in hand," Lin Yan thought to himself. "The search in the Tilted Peak Realm Waters over the past ten years has yielded remarkable results."

"But... I want more than that!"

He looked through the Primordial Emperor City at the fiery cave outside.

The main reason why Jie Fanzi left the tokens and map here is... to Enter Reincarnation!

Some of the Universe's Strongest Enter Reincarnation are nearing their end and have no choice but to make one last desperate attempt... If they succeed, they will Eternal Existence and establish a Holy Land Universe.

The vast majority of them failed.

However, many of the Universe's Strongest leave behind tokens and legacies in this Core Land, waiting for those destined to be there.

Obtaining the token depends on luck, and searching for it is too dangerous. This is already the Core Land Qingfeng Realm, fraught with danger, where even the Universe's Strongest could perish.

"Besides Jie Fanzi, Zhen Lin, who went to Enter Reincarnation with him, also left behind a legacy, a token, and a map. It is about 300 light-years away from here, but with my strength, I simply cannot wander around this Core Land without a map."

"There is only one chance."

"Right now."

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.

The Qingfeng Realm has existed in this Cosmic Sea for Endless Samsara. Although the system information only covers a range of ten light-years in diameter, it is still the most dangerous core area.

Perhaps... it could give him some unexpected surprises.
