Yu Xinghai Map and City Lord Feixue
The Beast Cave Heaven is a gray, yet imbued world with an aura of superiority.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
As Zhou Zheng and his two companions appeared, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit, dressed in a black robe, also appeared above them.
"The three of you are all quite good and are qualified to receive my master's treasures!" The Grotto-Heaven Spirit looked at the three of them and said with a smile. This made Ji Ning and the Sect Master Jiu Chen breathe a sigh of relief, and smiles also appeared on their faces.
To be fair, they had indeed made considerable progress during this period, but since they didn't know the criteria for judging the Grotto-Heaven Spirit before, and with Zhou Zheng's somewhat absurd progress as a benchmark, they naturally felt uncertain.
Now that the Grotto-Heaven Spirit has personally confirmed their significant progress, they naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit looked at Zhou Zheng first.
"Dao Lord Cheng Tian, your progress truly astonishes me," the Grotto-Heaven Spirit said with some emotion, then added:
"I can basically guess your situation, which is truly rare among Dao Lord! However, aside from that special method, I observe that your own 'Dao' has also made great progress, which is equally remarkable. If you successfully Dao Merge, your strength will probably at least reach the level of Lord of Different Universe!"
"You flatter me, senior." Zhou Zheng cupped his hands and smiled. It was a pity that he hadn't broken through to the Fourth Step in this Beast Cave Heaven, otherwise the other party would have been ten or a hundred times more surprised.
"Hmm!" The Grotto-Heaven Spirit nodded slightly, then suddenly asked, "Do you know Yu Xinghai?"
"Of course I know, this is the most dangerous place among our Endless Territory!" The Sect Master Jiu Chen nodded immediately.
"Hmm, it seems the Endless Territory you mentioned is the Yan Long Domain. The three of you came from the Yan Long Domain!" The Grotto-Heaven Spirit nodded slightly.
"Yes!" Zhou Zheng and the other two nodded. They were all a little puzzled, wondering what the Grotto-Heaven Spirit wanted to say.
"In the ancient times tens of millions of years before the Chaos Epoch, our Cultivator Civilization fought a great war against the Xis Race, often involving the alliance of several realms, forming numerous battlefields!" the Grotto-Heaven Spirit said.
"The Yu Xinghai, near your Yan Long Domain, was one of the main battlefields where several domains fought against the Xis Race. The rulers of the Yu Xinghai Battlefield struggled against the Xis Race until my master arrived and swiftly annihilated everything. However, time was precious then, and my master could not stay on the Yu Xinghai Battlefield for long. As a result of the war, many treasures were left behind!"
"A treasure?" Zhou Zheng's heart stirred slightly.
"However, although my master didn't have time to collect them, he knew the locations of many treasures." The Grotto-Heaven Spirit looked at Zhou Zheng, and with a slight thought, a bamboo tube slowly fell from mid-air.
At the same time, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit said, "In the depths of the Yu Xinghai, it would be suicide for an ordinary peak Dao Lord to go there. However, with your strength, as long as you don't go to some forbidden areas and are careful, you are capable of exploring many places. I will give you a map, and you can use the map to find treasures... The treasures used in the war were all world-destroying. Even if you only obtain some incomplete pieces, it will still be a huge gain!"
"Thank you, senior!" Zhou Zheng said, accepting the bamboo tube.
The Overlords alone would find it difficult to contend with the Xis Race; at best, they could only stall for time until the Supreme arrived.
It's not hard to guess that the original Yu Xinghai Battlefield was fought entirely by Supreme Bolin, and he probably knew all the important locations of the Xis Race in the Yu Xinghai Battlefield.
Is the Yu Xinghai Battlefield map personally drawn by Supreme Bolin?
Even though it may not be as well-developed in terms of the details of the outer perimeter as the explorations of generations of cultivators in the Yan Long Domain, it is probably unmatched in some important and Core Land.
Not to mention, it also marks the locations where some treasures might have been lost. Even though a long time has Past and some things have changed, it's impossible that all the treasures are gone, right?
In short, this is a map that would make even the most powerful ruler drool!
After Zhou Zheng, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit also gave his evaluation of Ji Ning and the Sect Master Jiu Chen, and the two of them each received two treasures.
Ji Ning obtained the Thousand Leaf Green Spirit, which could make the "Chaos Origin Beast" recognize him as its master, while the Sect Master Jiu Chen also obtained the Dao Talisman that allowed him to enter and exit the Eternal Kingdom of the Eternity Clan.
Thus, the three's journey on the Xis Race warship came to a complete end.
More than a decade later, on the edge of Endless Territory.
In a Void surrounded by endless stars, suddenly—
A massive rift stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles was torn open, and then the figures of Zhou Zheng, Ji Ning, and the Sect Master Jiu Chen emerged from it.
"It's only been a little over ten years, and you're back already?" Ji Ning looked at the vast expanse of stars around him, a hint of surprise on his face.
These were clearly not in the endless darkness; they had returned to the Endless Territory.
If he were to use his swordsmanship, which transcends space, to travel on his own, it would probably take him hundreds of years to return.
"I'll use the Universe Treasure to take you two through time, so of course it'll be fast!" Zhou Zheng said with a smile.
With his current level of cultivation, he can already unleash a large portion of the power of the Xuan Ling's Wings. Even without the Three Powers Unity Technique, his speed is already ridiculously fast. Not to mention, Zhou Zheng also used the Three Powers Unity Technique from time to time on the way, so this speed is actually quite normal.
"This harvest has been truly substantial!" Sect Master Jiu Chen exclaimed, then immediately asked, "Dao Lord Cheng Tian, Beiming, what are your plans for the future?"
"Of course we should continue to hone our skills!" Ji Ning said without hesitation, and Zhou Zheng nodded in agreement.
Before breaking through to the Fourth Step, Zhou Zheng will continue to hone his skills.
Seeking a breakthrough through seclusion? It's not impossible, but it might mean getting stuck for a long time.
The five hundred million years spent inside the Xis Race warship proved this point.
And honing one's skills in the outside world? Perhaps a sudden epiphany will lead to the discovery of a breakthrough opportunity.
"Haha, then why don't we first go with you to explore the Eternal Kingdom!" the Sect Master Jiu Chen laughed.
"After all, it's an opportunity left behind by Supreme, so it can't be bad!"
"This time, I'm all thanks to you, Jiu Chen!" Zhou Zheng nodded with a smile.
He didn't value the treasures within the Eternal Kingdom much, but among them were the Dominator's inheritance, including many with Dao Heart Perfection, which was quite impressive.
"Dao Lord Cheng Tian, please feel free to take your share; I'd be more than happy to!" The Sect Master Jiu Chen laughed heartily, then looked at Ji Ning and asked:
"Beiming, what about you?"
"Since you and Master are going, I naturally want to go too," Ji Ning said with a smile. "I'm also quite curious about what treasures the Supreme One left behind!"
"Haha, then let's not delay, let's set off!" said the Sect Master Jiu Chen immediately.
"Okay!" Zhou Zheng nodded. He summoned the Xuan Ling's Wings again and quickly disappeared with the two of them.
The three had a clear goal this time: the Eternal Kingdom of the Eternity Clan. Zhou Zheng traveled at an extremely fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, three months have Past.
But at that moment, Zhou Zheng, who had been constantly moving around, suddenly stopped.
At this moment, Zhou Zheng's expression was somewhat strange, and Ji Ning's face also showed a hint of surprise.
"What's going on with you two?" The Sect Master Jiu Chen looked at the two of them with some curiosity.
"My master and I discovered two fragments of Domain Flying Ship in the Ancestral Land of the Xis Race. We collected them separately, and now, these fragments suddenly seem to be responding!" Ji Ning explained.
"Domain Flying Ship?" A hint of doubt appeared on the face of the Sect Master Jiu Chen.
"It's an extremely terrifying treasure!" Ji Ning explained:
"Even Dao Lord like me, who can transcend space on his own, would need at least a million Chaos Epoch to reach an adjacent realm, while my lifespan is only 108,000 Chaos Epoch! But with the help of Domain Flying Ship, it might only take a few decades or even a few years!"
"This treasure?" A look of shock appeared on the face of the Sect Master Jiu Chen. He was not stupid. He knew after a little thought that this was a treasure that could drive a ruler crazy.
"We only found small pieces of wreckage before, but now we're sensing something!" Ji Ning's face lit up with joy as he looked at Zhou Zheng and said:
"Master, maybe we really can get the complete Domain Flying Ship. Shall we go and take a look?"
"No, it's too risky to go Past rashly!" Zhou Zheng shook his head.
In fact, the one who would sense the Domain Flying Ship in the Yan Long Domain is most likely the City Lord Feixue, one of the Eight Great Sacred City Lords.
Zhou Zheng wasn't too afraid of the City Lord Feixue at the moment; he could fight her head-on with the help of the "Path to Godhood" technique.
However, while we may despise the enemy strategically, we must take them seriously tactically.
Moreover, the one who sensed it wasn't necessarily City Lord Feixue; what if it was an even more powerful being? No one stipulated that only they and City Lord Feixue could obtain the wreckage of the Domain Flying Ship in the entire Yan Long Domain, right?
"I sense that the other side is also approaching us. I will take you into the deeper spacetime, where we can attack or defend as needed!" Zhou Zheng said immediately.
In places where spacetime is suppressed, entering deep spacetime is very difficult, but in ordinary Void, it is very easy.
Of course, as cultivators grow stronger, they will acquire more and more methods.
Below the World Realm, very few cultivators can enter the deeper layers of spacetime.
However, at the Dao Lord level, most can forcibly tear apart the surface spacetime and enter the deeper spacetime; the only difference is whether they are good at it or not.
A patriarchal Ancestral God specializes in the ' Space-Time Dao ' has a chance of escaping from an ordinary World Realm cultivator, but if the World Realm he encounters is even slightly stronger, it will be very difficult for him to escape, let alone Dao Lord.
Zhou Zheng knew very well that even if he went deep into the inner space-time, as long as he didn't keep running away, the City Lord Feixue would definitely be able to catch up.
But that's okay, as the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise.
With Zhou Zheng's current level of cultivation and the added advantage of the Xuan Ling's Wings, there are very few people in the entire Yan Long Domain who are better at Space-Time Shuttle than him.
Therefore, the Mangya Dominator must be stronger than him.
In the deep spacetime, whether to stay or leave, Zhou Zheng holds the initiative. Waiting there for the other party who will respond is undoubtedly the most appropriate course of action.
" With your Dao Lord Cheng Tian, there aren't many in the entire Endless Territory who can surpass you, are there?" the Sect Master Jiu Chen remarked.
"You're really cautious."
"It's never wrong to be cautious!" Ji Ning also sensed that the other party was rapidly approaching them. Under these circumstances, it was certainly wise for them to make more preparations.
"Let's go first!"
Zhou Zheng didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, a colorful passage immediately opened in the Void. Ji Ning and Sect Master Jiu Chen stepped into it without hesitation.
P. S.: I have some things to take care of today, so I'll only update twice for now.
