Chapter 447: Maps

On top of a massive rock.

Xiao Yu sat opposite Bei Chi Star Lord.

Bei Chi Star Lord wished to make friends, and Xiao Yu did not decline.

In the current Cosmic Sea, when the Human Race has not truly risen yet, he is still willing to befriend more strong ones.

"As the Lord of the Universe, you actually managed to reach here; it makes me feel ashamed," Bei Chi Star Lord said with a smile.

He has always boasted of his skill in soul will, which is his point of pride, yet now a Lord of the Universe easily arrives at his secluded cultivation spot.

"Ha ha." Xiao Yu chuckled lightly, "Speak, what exactly did you come to me for?"

"I periodically expound on the Way of the Secret Pattern; if the Creator Lord is interested, he may come over to listen," Bei Chi Star Lord added.

He hopes to use this to forge a good relationship with the Creator Lord.

"Very well." Xiao Yu smiled faintly, then rose and said, "Thank you for the hospitality; I will not disturb Bei Chi Star Lord's cultivation any further."

"Very well." Bei Chi Star Lord replied, though for some reason the Creator Lord ignored his overture.

But he could not force him to stay, so he could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yu departed aboard the Cold Cliff Fortress.

Xiao Yu returned aboard the Cold Cliff Fortress; in a region where time flows a thousandfold, atop a massive stone, he saw the Lord of the Swallow Eagle.

"Lord of the Swallow Eagle, you cultivate first; I will check other Black Patterned Stone Pillars. If you need anything, find me directly in the Virtual Universe," Xiao Yu transmitted.

"Very well." the Lord of the Swallow Eagle replied.

Leaving Area 2 Black Patterned Stone Pillar, Xiao Yu continuously used Instant Teleport, heading toward each Black Patterned Stone Pillar area to explore.

Three days later, Xiao Yu Instant Teleported to Area 11 Black Vein Pillar.

After approaching the Space Freeze Zone, he boarded the Cold Cliff Fortress and sped toward the Black Patterned Stone Pillar.

"Ha ha, finally I've found the secret chamber of the Lord of Wu Hun," Xiao Yu said from afar, gazing at a black spire building, already sensing the Black Token's movement.

"At last I have an excuse to hand over some Cosmic Vessel maps to the Human Race," Xiao Yu sighed.

He has indeed exhausted his schemes to get the maps to the Human Race.

Xiao Yu transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

Moments later, Xiao Yu flew to a spatial secret chamber, whose size was comparable to the other massive rocks.

His hand lightly brushed the chamber wall, easily penetrating it; then Xiao Yu stepped forward, his whole body passing straight through the building's wall into the chamber.

"So big," Xiao Yu exclaimed.

This spatial secret chamber contains an independent space within.

It is far beyond what the massive rock outside could compare to.

Xiao Yu hovered midair, overlooking the endless land, where a continuous mountain range had one side sheared flat, forming a smooth rock wall.

The rock wall was engraved with Secret Patterns and text, as well as numerous paintings.

These record the messages left by successive owners of this spatial secret chamber.

Early records were scattered; since the Lord of Nine Mortals, some relatively complete and recognizable information appeared, and the Lord of Nine Mortals is also called the first owner of this chamber.

"Since the Lord of Nine Mortals, passing through the Lord of Sparrow Spring, the Lord of Eye Governance, all the way to the Lord of Wu Hun, there have been a total of 20,294 Space Owners. Among these over twenty thousand Space Owners, some left cultivation secret technique Secret Pattern Diagrams, some left maps of the Three Great Absolute Lands, some left treasures, and some took treasures away and destroyed previous maps," Xiao Yu said.

"Take the 1,928th Space Owner, the Lord of the Stab; those who destroy the Three Great Absolute Lands maps are few, yet not insignificant," Xiao Yu remarked while looking.

Immediately, Xiao Yu's divine power permeated the entire space; finding no treasure, he proceeded to the distant mountain peak, where a semi‑transparent black crystal pillar stood.

The pillar emitted a faint glow; it was the vessel for the maps, containing the Three Great Absolute Lands maps.

Within the pillar, however, lay a collection of maps from the most recent nine hundred plus Space Owners.

"Let me see these maps and compare them with the Human Race's maps," Xiao Yu said as he approached the black crystal pillar, projecting a sliver of divine power to permeate it.

Instantly, three holographic maps appeared in his mind: Flowing Heavy Mountains, Cosmic Vessel, and Qingfeng Realm.

"These three maps focus on core regions; core region maps are rare, yet they are far more detailed than the maps our Human Race possesses. I will add some Cosmic Vessel maps and then transmit them to our Human Race," Xiao Yu said, also augmenting the Cosmic Vessel maps.

Then, Xiao Yu produced a spherical Ultimate Treasure and recorded the Three Great Absolute Lands maps onto it.

……

Virtual Universe, atop Thunder Island.

Xiao Yu appeared within the Hun Dun airflow and softly called, "Teacher."

In the distance, the Hun Dun airflow surged, and a purple silhouette approached—it was the Chaos City Lord.

"Xiao Yu," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile, his eyes twinkling.

Since Xiao Yu resolved the Divine Eye Clan, he seemed instantly more at ease, and even his cultivation progress advanced by a noticeable margin.

"Congratulations, Teacher, on another advancement," Xiao Yu suddenly noticed that the Chaos City Lord's will and secret arts had also improved to some extent.

"Aspiring to ascend to Strongest of the Universe is still far off, but I seem to glimpse a sliver of hope," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

For the current Primordial Universe, becoming the Strongest Being is hardest because finding a viable path is difficult. There may be many roads, yet many do not lead to the summit, and numerous paths are impassable.

Some roads might be traversable, but could require endless eons, and even after the end of the cycle of reincarnation one may still fail to breakthrough, becoming a dead end.

If, when the cycle of reincarnation ends, one has not crossed over, then perhaps the crossing will be forever impossible.

"What brings you to me?" the Chaos City Lord asked.

"I obtained the Three Great Absolute Lands maps in the Cosmic Vessel Black Patterned Pillar Space," Xiao Yu said, gesturing casually.

In the distant void, three maps materialized: a massive warship, a broken towering peak, and a colossal mountain range composed of overlapping peaks cascading countless waterfalls.

When enlarged, these three maps reveal many scenes, each annotated with text.

"Maps of the Three Great Absolute Lands?" the Chaos City Lord asked, surprised, looking at Xiao Yu, "And so detailed."

"I will send the maps to you now, Teacher," Xiao Yu whispered, then transmitted the maps along with extensive textual explanations via the Virtual Universe System to the Chaos City Lord.

In a moment, the Chaos City Lord had already received the maps.

"Ha ha, Xiao Yu, these maps of the Three Great Absolute Lands are countless times more detailed than those our Human Race possesses," the Chaos City Lord said, delighted after a brief comparison.

"How did you obtain them?" the Chaos City Lord asked curiously.

"Teacher, I was just lucky too; earlier I obtained some treasures from the Lord of the Five Hun, among which was a secret‑chamber token. After entering the secret chamber I got these maps, but unfortunately there was no Ultimate Treasure in that chamber," Xiao Yu said, disappointed.

"These maps are the finest treasure for my Human Race, even more valuable than a Strongest Supreme Treasure," the Chaos City Lord said happily. "Our Human Race's luck is truly great. I will tidy up the maps later and then distribute them to the strong ones of my Human Race."

The Chaos City Lord did not bring up the matter of contributions again.

Nowadays Xiao Yu has already gathered enough members of the Human Race, so he doesn't mind a few thousand to ten thousand Treasure Points.

"Teacher, just watch and handle it," Xiao Yu said with a smile. (End of chapter)
