Time flies, another century has passed.
A century after the arrival of the Master of Eternal Abyss, powerful figures from the Holy Land Universe finally came knocking.
This was something Lu Qingshan had already anticipated.
In the distant, Chaos air currents, a purple light rapidly approached. The light carried a pure and terrifying aura, clearly intentionally signaling to the others that it had arrived.
" Master Xue You..."
The Master of Stone Steps quickly stood up, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes.
"Don't worry, it's just an avatar of a True God. He's probably not here to fight. You should go into seclusion first. If anything unexpected happens, I will take you into the Palace Supreme Treasure."
Lu Qingshan looked up and said calmly.
"Yes, Master!"
The Master of Stone Steps nodded, turned and walked into the depths of the palace. At this moment, a purple light fell on the star fragment. When the light dissipated, a figure with a cold face and wearing silver armor was revealed.
" The True God Ziguang of the Black Butcher Holy Land?"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly. He already knew about this True God from the Master of Stone Steps. There are five True God in the Black Butcher Holy Land Universe. The other four are all of similar strength, but only one True God is very strong. That True God is the personal disciple of the Progenitor of the Black Butcher Holy Land and is said to have come out of the Sunken Moon Pool.
" Master Xue You, I apologize for disturbing you."
The True God Ziguang raised his hand, his tone calm, "I have come to pay my respects to Master Xue You on the orders of the Progenitor."
Come in!
Lu Qingshan said casually.
Upon hearing this, the True God Ziguang breathed a sigh of relief and followed him into the palace.
Upon arriving at the main hall, the two sat down as host and guest, and Lu Qingshan took out some fine wine to entertain them.
" True God Ziguang, your visit today is surely related to the Master of Extended Edge."
"It seems you know, Master Xue You."
"Hehe." Lu Qingshan raised his wine glass. "I participated in the trade fair with Master of Extended Edge, only to bring out a few more treasures. As a result, when I was leaving, I was intercepted and killed by Master of Extended Edge and True God Guyuan. Fortunately, I still have some tricks up my sleeve, otherwise I would have perished... Are all the strong people in your Holy Land Universe like this?"
"Our Black Butcher Holy Land has over five hundred Universe Master, naturally varying in quality, but most of our Holy Land 'Universe Master are quite good."
The True God Ziguang offered an explanation, then raised his wine glass: "This matter is the fault of our Holy Land Universe. I apologize to Master Xue You." "Not bad attitude."
Lu Qingshan chuckled and raised his glass as well, giving the other party some face.
The True God Ziguang didn't just offer a verbal apology. After finishing his wine, he took out a Memory Stone and said, "I heard that Master Xue You is interested in maps of the Universe Ocean Desperate Land. I have a map of the Star Ruins here, which should be more complete than the maps Master Xue You acquired."
Looking at the Memory Stone placed in front of him, Lu Qingshan showed a hint of surprise.
He had originally thought that this Holy Land Universe would come to punish him, but to his surprise, the other party not only had a very good attitude, but also offered a map as compensation.
This rendered all his prepared countermeasures ineffective.
However, Lu Qingshan truly had no intention of becoming enemies with the Holy Land Universe. The Holy Land Universe Elder Gu ancient and possessed the most secrets of the Universe Ocean. Cooperating with the East Emperor Holy Land was the most ideal scenario.
Now that the other party has taken the initiative to show their attitude, Lu Qingshan naturally won't refuse.
He picked up the Memory Stone and looked at it.
Sure enough, this map of the Star Ruins was extremely detailed, even including maps of many core areas. It was many times more detailed than the ones he had acquired before. It not only marked the routes but also included guides for several undeveloped ruins and strategies for dealing with various dangerous places.
Lu Qingshan put away the map, and his gaze towards the True God Ziguang softened considerably.
He smiled and said, " True God Ziguang, I am very satisfied with this gift, but you didn't come here today just to give me this map, did you?" True God Ziguang didn't beat around the bush and said directly, " The Progenitor wants to make friends with Master Xueyou and also wants to ask Master Xue You a question."
What's the problem?
" Master Xue You, have you ever been to Sunken Moon Pool?"
Lu Qingshan fell silent.
He pondered this question in his mind.
Sunken Moon Pool!
Why would the Progenitor the Black Butcher Holy Land ask this question? Could it be that there are powerful beings from other dimensional Universe Ocean within the Sunken Moon Pool?
He had left no trace in this Universe Ocean before, yet his strength was immense. Why would the Progenitor the Black Butcher Holy Land be so suspicious?
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingshan shook his head. "You don't need to ask about my background, but I can tell you clearly that I have never been to Sunken Moon Pool. However, I am somewhat interested in Sunken Moon Pool. If your Holy Land Universe is willing to provide some information about Sunken Moon Pool, I will be very happy."
The True God Ziguang was slightly taken aback.
Master Xue You didn't seem to be lying, he figured he probably really wasn't from Sunken Moon Pool. He never expected that even the omnipotent Progenitor would guess wrong.
He continued, " Master Xue You, the news of the Sunken Moon Pool is top secret even in our Holy Land Universe. Only the Progenitor and the True God Qiongguang know it. I will relay your words to the Progenitor... Regardless of the outcome, our Black Butcher Holy Land is willing to become friends with Master Xue You." "I am also willing to become friends with the Black Butcher Holy Land!"
Lu Qingshan smiled.
He refilled his glass with the wine.
After finishing the pot of fine wine, the True God Ziguang did not linger. He slightly cupped his hands, and his avatar transformed into Ziguang and disappeared into the void.
As Lu Qingshan watched the other person's departing figure, he also began to speculate.
" The Progenitor the Black Butcher Holy Land visited the Sunken Moon Pool and guessed that I came from the Sunken Moon Pool. That Sunken Moon Pool..."
Lu Qingshan was increasingly convinced that his guess was correct.
There might actually be powerful beings from Universe Ocean within that Sunken Moon Pool.
After all, the Holy Land Universe Elder Gu and ancient, and they know perfectly well whether there are any powerful beings like themselves in the Universe Ocean. The Universe Master are a little better off, but each True God has Small Universe, and those without Small Universe are all in the unique Holy Land Universe, so they cannot be hidden at all.
The fact that the Universe Master could instantly kill the True God Guyuan is even more terrifying.
Lu Qingshan slowly withdrew his gaze.
"It seems I need to return to the Primal Universe again, store all the treasures, and then find a way to get information about the Sunken Moon Pool from the Black Butcher Holy Land! Then I'll go there..." Lu Qingshan found himself becoming more and more interested in the Sunken Moon Pool.
He summoned the Master of Stone Steps.
" Stone Steps... the fall of the Master of Extended Edge is in the past. The grudges between me and the Holy Land Universe have been resolved. You don't need to worry. You can return to your clan."
" Master Xue You, I still wish to stay by your side."
The Master of Stone Steps revealed a joyful expression. The power of the Holy Land Universe was deeply ingrained in people's minds, and he did not want to be enemies with the Holy Land Universe. For him, this was already the best outcome.
Lu Qingshan laughed and said, "I'm going to explore a dangerous place, so I can't take you with me."
"Then I will guard this place for Master Xue You."
The Master of Stone Steps turned and looked at the ruined palace.
"When the master leaves, I can finally renovate this palace. It's too simple and doesn't suit Master Xue You's status."
"Haha, fine, stay if you want."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
Then he turned and left.
Black Butcher Holy Land Universe, Progenitor Hall.
After the True God Ziguang left Lu Qingshan's side, his original body, which remained in the Holy Land Universe, came to pay homage to the Progenitor once again.
The True God Yanguang had long since departed, leaving only the Black Butcher Progenitor in the main hall. He held a wine gourd in his hand, pouring himself a drink.
" Our Progenitor," the True God Ziguang bowed in homage.
"How?"
The Black Butcher Progenitor put down his wine gourd, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
He was indeed very interested in the mysterious powerhouse who could instantly kill the True God Guyuan, and who might even come from that place.
" The Progenitor guessed wrong. Master Xue You said he had never been to Sunken Moon Pool Sunken Moon Pool, and he knew nothing about it. He even wanted to learn about Sunken Moon Pool from the Progenitor."
The True God Ziguang reported the truth.
"How strange!" The Black Butcher Progenitor frowned slightly, seemingly taken aback by the situation.
"How could he not have been there? Is he lying?" "Probably not," True God Ziguang shook his head. "He wanted to learn about Sunken Moon Pool from us, so he probably hasn't been there."
The Black Butcher Progenitor tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, muttering to himself, "He didn't come from the Sunken Moon Pool, yet he possesses the strength to instantly kill True God, is proficient in weapon crafting, and left no trace in the Universe Ocean before. That's strange."
The Black Butcher Progenitor hadn't expected that the opponent had World Break from another Universe Ocean directly; clearly, this was beyond his comprehension.
Although he is quite close to becoming Eternal True God, he is still just a Void True God, and his cognitive limit is not very high.
After pondering for a long time without finding an answer, the Black Butcher Progenitor suddenly laughed, "Interesting. I've lived through countless eras, and there aren't many people I can't see through at all. This guy is quite interesting."
"How does the Progenitor intend to deal with this?" asked the True God Ziguang.
"Doesn't he want information about Sunken Moon Pool? I plan to meet with him in person, and then decide whether to tell him or not..."
The Black Butcher Progenitor picked up the gourd of wine and gulped down several large mouthfuls.
The True God Ziguang was greatly surprised.
Information about the Sunken Moon Pool is a secret even within their Holy Land Universe, known only to the Progenitor and the True God Qiongguang. Unexpectedly, the Progenitor actually intended to tell an outsider.
He was just surprised, not that it was unfair, since the Sunken Moon Pool was over there and he wouldn't go into it anyway.
Without Clone, entering it would almost certainly mean certain death! Besides, he was already True God, while the Progenitor and the True God Qiongguang both entered it when they were the Universe Master.
A secret may be a secret, but a secret that cannot be converted into cash is ultimately meaningless.
"In a few days, inform Master Xue You again to come to our Black Butcher Holy Land. I will meet with him outside the Holy Land Universe..."
The Black Butcher Progenitor chuckled.
"Yes!"
The True God Ziguang bowed respectfully.
After the True God Ziguang withdrew, the Black Butcher Progenitor stood alone in the Progenitor Hall, his gaze fixed on the universe beyond the Holy Land Universe.
"He didn't come from Sunken Moon Pool; he's in the Universe Ocean, and there were no traces of him before... A True God wouldn't appear out of thin air in the Universe Ocean. I hope that next time we meet, I can find out his origins."
He was certain that the other party would meet with him.
After all, the other party wanted to know about Sunken Moon Pool.
This news was known only to him and his disciples.
However, what the Black Butcher Progenitor didn't know was that the Master Xue You he wanted to meet had already left the Universe Ocean of this dimension once again.
