Chapter 202, The Lord of the Forbidden Demon Island
The clone of the Thousand-Bear Pavilion left the Wind and Rain Pavilion, extended its stone finger, and a wisp of divine power touched the gravel with the engraved mark. Then, the space-time shifted, and it disappeared into the cave.
Within the gravelly space bearing the marks, Huang's clone appeared out of thin air, reached out, and the Wind and Rain Pavilion landed in his palm. He then surveyed the empty and desolate gravelly space.
The interior of the gravel space was not large, only a few billion kilometers in size, and some of the rocky mountains inside were no different from those outside. Sensing the aura, Huang's clone arrived directly in front of a flattened rock wall, where a shadow was visible on the smooth, flat rock.
Huang's clone stood beside the rock wall, sensing the aura of the supreme treasure beneath it.
Perhaps it was Huang's clone standing there that triggered some mechanism, causing the shadow on the rock wall to wriggle and eventually transform into a black snake with nine heads and a slender body.
"I am the Lord of the Forbidden Demon Island, the greatest leader of the Serpent Demon Clan, blessed by the primordial universe and bestowed with innate secret techniques."
Upon becoming the Lord of the Universe, I reached the pinnacle, leading my race to its zenith. Unfortunately, while exploring the cosmic sea, I became trapped in the Flowing Heavy Mountain Formation. Only after countless epochs later, having escaped as the strongest, did I realize I had no more ties.
"Throughout three cycles of reincarnation, I have spent most of my time wandering in the Flowing Mountains. Before venturing into the cycle of reincarnation, I found this stone pillar quite pleasing to the eye deep within the Inner Domain of the Inclined Peak Realm, so I left behind a palace treasure here. Inside, there is a map of part of the area where I roamed the Flowing Mountains. If you dare, young one, come and see if I can trap you for countless epochs."
"I wonder where this stone pillar will drift to when you, young upstart, see the message I left behind."
It's unknown how many lifetimes have passed since then.
"I will remember you, I am the Lord of the Forbidden Demon Island!"
The words left on the smooth rock face were not in the languages of the various races today, but at this level, mere fluctuations of will were enough to make others understand one's meaning.
The Lord of the Demon-Suppressing Island—this was a powerful figure from a previous era of reincarnation, unrecorded by humankind. Or perhaps this grain of sand with the engraving mark was once a stone pillar before countless eras of reincarnation, drifting out from the inner domain of the Peak Realm. After enduring various forms of destruction from the Peak Realm's environment, only this small piece remained, eventually settling in this cave. Who knows how many eras of reincarnation have passed in between?
Perhaps it's even older than the two great holy lands of today? Or perhaps it's around the same time as the two great holy lands? There's no way to verify that; he doesn't have the influence to ask the two great holy lands for this information.
"This junior, Ye Muxuan, thanks the Demon-Suppressing Island Master for bestowing this treasure." Huang's clone bowed to the Demon-Suppressing Island Master's figure on the rock wall, then placed one hand on the rock wall.
A three-story, pitch-black palace with a pointed roof, spanning hundreds of square kilometers, rose from a crack in the rock face with a rumbling sound.
Judging from the aura they sensed, the remaining treasures were all within the treasures of this palace.
A wisp of divine power seeped in, easily making this unclaimed palace treasure recognize its owner. With a thunderous roar, the tens of thousands of kilometers-long gate on the first floor of the palace opened, revealing a main hall, two side halls, and countless treasures scattered throughout the side halls. Even Huang's avatar, a rock-based life form, felt its heart race upon seeing these treasures. This palace treasure itself was a top-tier masterpiece among peak palace treasures, second only to the supreme treasures in terms of grade. In the entire human race, perhaps only the palace treasures currently used by the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord's main battle form could rival it.
In the center of the main hall, there was an incomparably beautiful silk cloth, its black and gold colors intertwined, emanating an aura that made Huang's clone feel at ease.
"The Thread Diagram—" Ye Muxuan's authority was already at the highest level among the human race, so he naturally knew what it was.
Silk threads are a very precious material, one of the essential materials used to create illusionary treasures, and they naturally possess a calming effect on the mind. The fact that this Demon-Suppressing Island Lord could use such a large silk thread diagram to record a map truly shows he is the strongest being in the universe.
The Lord of the Forbidden Demon Island placed the Thread-Pulling Map in the main hall, clearly indicating that he considered the map to be the most important thing. As for the various treasures scattered in the side halls, to the strongest individual in a solitary universe whose entire race had been wiped out, they were merely some trivial collectibles, which he wouldn't care about at all.
However, for Ye Muxuan, the more treasures the better! Not to mention that his clone needs to devour fire-attribute treasures of various levels, even some of the human universe lords are still using top-tier treasures.
If a bunch of top-tier and peak treasures were thrown into the clan's treasury, Uncle Chaos and the Giant Axe Founder would have to treat themselves to drinks!
While idly thinking, Huang's clone sent a wisp of divine power directly into the Thread Diagram, and his consciousness followed, entering the Thread Diagram as if he had entered a virtual space.
In this virtual space, the main element is a virtual, majestic mountain range, shrouded in exquisite and beautiful light. A red thread runs through parts of the mountain, even reaching its core at its deepest point. The dangers in each area are fully virtualized, along with descriptions of how to avoid them and traverse these perilous places.
This is a partial map of Liuzhong Mountain!
The three most dangerous places are equally matched.
The Flowing Mountains, the Cosmic Boat, and the Overturning Peak Realm. It's not uncommon for these three forbidden lands to produce top-tier treasures, and even a considerable number of supreme treasures. However, these treasures are accompanied by extremely terrifying environments. Even the strongest beings in the universe, let alone cosmic masters, can perish in certain environments, making a map incredibly valuable.
After examining the silk thread diagram, Huang's clone began to inventory the treasures in the two side halls.
Several hours had passed in the Hongmeng Hall, but the Lord of Youhou had not yet left. The Lord of Shadow Blade in front of him kept his eyes closed. If it weren't for the fact that he still had his human body in the primordial universe connecting to the virtual universe, and that no information had been transmitted yet, the Lord of Youhou would have already gone to find the Lord of Chaos City.
At a certain moment, the Lord of Shadow Blade opened his eyes, and the Lord of Youhou was taken aback, because he saw joy in the Lord of Shadow Blade's eyes.
"Lord You, proceed to the Giant Axe Temple!" Ye Muxuan stood up and declared, "I convene the Giant Axe Conference at the Giant Axe Temple in the name of the Lord of the Universe!"
Perhaps it was the phrase "Giant Axe Conference" that triggered something, because in the virtual universe system, a pair of eyes fell on Ye Muxuan.
"What happened? Is it necessary to convene the Giant Axe Meeting?" Lord Youhou stood up and then received an email signed by Lord Yingdao.
"happy event!"
"This is wonderful news!"
In theory, every Universe Lord is qualified to convene all Universe Lords and the strongest beings in their own name to hold a supreme meeting concerning matters of great importance to their race. However, Lord Youhou has been the Universe Lord for so many years, yet he has not convened one in his own name. This is mainly because his influence among the Universe Lords of his race is not yet sufficient, and he has not encountered any major events that could affect his race.
In a mere second, all eighteen human universe lords and the founder of the giant axe received an email from the Shadow Blade Lord.
