The dark red passage was very well hidden. If Lu Qingshan hadn't known about it beforehand, he wouldn't have bothered to explore it inch by inch, and might not have even discovered it.
Upon entering the passage, the familiar light curtain reappeared.
One floor, two floors...
In just a moment, he passed through the nine layers of light curtain.
"It's so hot here!"
Lu Qingshan looked at the scene before him. The ground was covered with dark red rocks, and lava was flowing beneath them. The entire cave was filled with omnipresent high temperature. If a Universe Venerable were trapped here, even without touching the red rocks and lava, he would probably only last a few hundred years before turning to Ashes!
Lu Qingshan continued exploring forward within the Supreme Treasure Palace.
This passage seemed to have no end; even the Supreme Supreme Treasure, charging recklessly, could not see what lay ahead.
However, the temperature is getting higher and higher.
After traveling more than thirty light-years, the outside temperature was high enough to instantly obliterate a Universe Venerable.
Even Universe Master, without the protection of Supreme Treasure, would likely have his divine body slowly decay due to the inability to withstand such extreme heat.
Of course, none of this had any effect on Lu Qingshan, who was surrounded by the Palace Supreme Treasure. After flying a distance further, the area was filled with lava and Endless flames, with dark brown stone pillars rising from the flames.
Countless grains of sand shimmered on the stone pillar.
"These shimmering grains of sand seem to each represent a space."
Lu Qingshan manipulated the Eternal Temple to approach, and upon getting close, he felt a faint suction force. He did not repel this force, but followed it into the temple.
The next second, he appeared in a vast space.
There is no life here!
The Wings of Life used their Life Perception to explore the surroundings, but found no life.
Then he used the Eternal Kingdom, Golden Light enveloped the entire space. Lu Qingshan explored inch by inch but found nothing.
The space was empty except for pieces of discarded rock. The rocks were ordinary, but thankfully the temperature inside was normal.
This place seems to be a rest area.
The external environment, like a cultivation area, is extremely suitable for cultivating Fire Law...
If the Crimson Flame Beast were placed here, the progress of the Fire-Space Fusion Law would be extraordinary, provided that the Crimson Flame Beast could withstand the terrifying high temperature. The Crimson Flame Beast is a darling of fire with a special talent, but it certainly cannot withstand the high temperature that is enough to destroy Universe Master. Perhaps it can only do so when it breaks through to the Universe Venerable level and relies on its talent.
The outside world is the environment for cultivation, while these individual spaces seem to be places for rest.
After searching again without finding anything, Lu Qingshan returned to the outside world from where he had been.
Through the Palace Supreme Treasure, he looked at the enormous stone pillars, each with many spaces within it.
If he were to search everywhere, it would take a very long time... Fortunately, he knew where he could find what he needed.
Lu Qingshan quickly located a huge stone pillar in the magma, on which a very clear claw mark was left.
Given the stone pillar's hardness, no one other than the Universe Supreme Master could accomplish this.
"This should be it..."
Lu Qingshan manipulated the Eternal Temple, slowly approaching the stone pillar with claw marks.
The temple shrank to the size of a speck of dust, hovering in front of the sand in the center of the claw mark.
Then, the Eternal Temple gently touched the grain of sand.
Whoosh! The world spun around, and the next second, Lu Qingshan reappeared in a vast space.
" Life Perception."
Lu Qingshan reactivated the Wings of Life's power.
Green light spread in all directions.
There was no sign of life.
" Eternal Kingdom."
Golden light enveloped the entire space.
This space is not large, with a diameter of only tens of millions of kilometers.
There were no stars, no seawater, only Endless void and a solitary mountain peak in the space.
The mountain is not high, about a million kilometers in length, and its body is pitch black with a smooth, mirror-like surface.
At the top of the mountain, a platform can be vaguely seen, and something is placed on that platform.
"Found it." A hint of joy flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
The Eternal Kingdom has discovered that there are indeed two items on that platform.
Moreover, the scent emanating from one of the items was exactly the same as the Silk Thread Map they had seen before.
Another item is similar to the Universe Boat Black Token, but its color is cyan.
brush!
The Eternal Temple transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and instantly flew to the platform above the mountain peak.
Lu Qingshan didn't rush out, but first used his Life Perception and the Eternal Kingdom to carefully explore the area.
After confirming there was no danger, he stepped out of the Eternal Temple and landed on the platform.
On the platform, two items lay there quietly.
One was a cyan pendant, carved with strange mythical beast patterns, exuding an Elder Gu and mysterious aura.
The other piece was a silk cloth, a combination of black and gold, radiating a calming aura.
"The token of the Universe Boat, and... the Silk Thread Map?" Lu Qingshan recognized the two items at a glance.
He possessed two tokens of the Universe Boat, but only the Black Token, while this one was Azure Token.
The Azure Token is of a higher level. It is said that carrying a high-level token grants certain privileges within the Universe Boat, allowing safe passage through certain dangerous areas, and also corresponds to a more advanced Cultivation Space.
As for the Silk Thread Map...
Without a doubt, it contains a precious map of the Desperate Land land of the Universe Ocean.
Lu Qingshan delved into the map to observe its contents, discovering that it was a partial map of the Universe Boat, one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands.
Most of them are basic areas, with some Inner Domain and some core areas as well.
The map is marked in great detail.
It details where the dangers are, whether there are detours, and how to deal with them. It's more of a travel guide than a map.
With this guide, the dangers of venturing into the Universe Boat will be greatly reduced, and the probability of obtaining treasures will be much higher.
This map is far more detailed than anything Human Race possess, especially the core area, which is more than a hundred times more valuable than Universe Boat map known to humans.
You should know that the person who left this map was a top-tier, Level 10 Universe Supreme Master! He looked up, and on the stone wall in front of him, two blurry figures gradually became clear.
One of them wore a gray robe, and its head was as transparent as crystal. It had no ears or nose, only three eyes and a mouth.
Even though it's a relic from countless eras ago, one can still sense just how terrifying the person before them truly is.
The other was a woman of exquisite beauty, surrounded by countless Green Leaf. One could almost see vibrant life emanating from her, and just one glance brought a sense of peace.
"I am Jie Fanzi."
The figure in gray robes spoke, his voice Elder Gu and desolate.
"I am Zhen Lin."
The Green Leaf woman smiled.
"Junior, I wonder which cycle of Reincarnation Era you are the lucky one from, and whether you still remember our names. If you do, it means that one of us has definitely passed through reincarnation; if you don't, then it's a great pity..."
The gray-robed man Jie Fanzi, spoke in Elder Gu and deep voice.
" Zhen Lin and I are both the Universe Supreme Master. We came to the Core Land the Tilted Peak Realm this time to attempt reincarnation. However, I know that the chances of success are slim, which is why I left behind this legacy... That cyan token is the token of the Universe Boat. In its corresponding space, I left behind many treasures and legacies, as well as this Silk Thread Map, which records part of the Universe Boat's map as I know it. If I perish, those who come after me, what I left behind might be of some help to you. I hope you can also help me pass on some of these secret techniques... Of course, this is not a request." The vibrant woman beside her also smiled and spoke.
"Junior, I also left behind a legacy, but it's not here. It's 300 light-years away. If you're strong and lucky, you might as well search around. You might find my legacy. What I left behind is no less than what that old fellow Jie Fanzi left behind."
"Haha, don't believe her... This is the Core Land the Tilted Peak Realm, fraught with danger. Even the Universe Supreme Master can easily perish here. If your strength is insufficient and you accidentally enter from elsewhere, you'll have no choice but to leave the way you came, or you'll definitely perish here. If your strength is sufficient to freely explore the Core Land the Tilted Peak Realm, then what Zhen Lin and I left behind won't mean much to you."
"It's a reminder," the grey-robed Jie Fanzi reminded him.
"Boring, I was just joking, don't take it seriously. The Universe Ocean currently only has one Holy Land. I hope I, Zhen Lin, can create a second Holy Land."
"Then I Jie Fanzi, will be the third!"
"Ha ha."
With a burst of laughter, the two illusory figures on the cliff face slowly disappeared.
Jie Fanzi, Zhen Lin, there is only one Holy Land Universe...
It seems that these two are even Elder Gu than the Purple Moon Ancestor... However, now that there are only the East Emperor Holy Land and the Purple Moon Holy Land in the entire Universe Ocean, it means that they must have failed.
Without the strength of Void True God, it's extremely difficult to break through the cycle of reincarnation!
" Jie Fanzi, Zhen Lin... If I have the chance in the future, I will resurrect you." Lu Qingshan thought to himself, then put away the Universe Boat Token and the Silk Thread Map.
This item should have originally belonged to Luo Feng, but by the time he went to Jie Fanzi's cyan space, he had already obtained the Duan Donghe Inheritance and the Tomb Ship.
The legacy left behind by Jie Fanzi is almost useless.
However, it is of great use to Lu Qingshan... With his strength, he can go to that blue space at the fastest speed, retrieve Jie Fanzi's treasures, and make the most of them, especially the Water-Fire Origin Secret Technique, which can be used to guide the disciples who Water-Fire Fusion.
Next, Lu Qingshan entered other spaces to explore.
Apart from the space where Jie Fanzi and Zhen Lin were located, there was nothing else in the other areas except for a patch of rocks. He explored thousands of spaces and found the same thing, so he gave up.
Back in the dark red cave passage, Lu Qingshan continued back the way he had come.
He encountered no further accidents along the way.
They quickly passed through the nine layers of light curtain again and returned to the enormous Wing Space.
"Human, you regret it? I can give you another chance!"
Upon seeing Lu Qingshan return, the Supreme Treasure Spirit spoke again.
However, the Supreme Treasure Palace did not stop at all, continuing its journey towards the Waters. "Coward, you are not worthy to be my master!"
The Supreme Treasure Spirit roared.
"Haha, nobody wants this junk!"
