Chapter 161 Treasure Hunt in the Water
"May the Lord of Origin possess endless treasures and eternal life!"
As the Lord of Chaos finished speaking, all the Lords of the Universe present raised their glasses and offered their blessings.
Qi Yuan was also aware of this rule.
After all, venturing into this cosmic sea is an adventure, and even a cosmic master with an avatar can still perish!
Even the strongest beings in the universe can perish, so who dares to say they won't? We must always be careful and avoid overly dangerous places in order to maximize our chances of survival.
But without a doubt, this place is all about adventure!
It's all for the treasure! It's all for the experience and growth!
"May everyone have endless treasures and eternal life!" Qi Yuan said with emotion.
"Lord of Origin, I've heard of your legendary experiences and know that your strength is not to be underestimated. In fact, you may even surpass us veteran Lords of the Universe. But there are some things I still have to say," Lord of Flint said directly.
Qi Yuan had heard of this Lord of Flint, knowing that he was a rock-type life form, born straightforward and inflexible, but always loyal to the Hong Alliance. So he smiled and said, "Please speak."
The Lord of Flint said, "The Cosmic Sea is not like the Primordial Universe. It is fraught with danger, filled with perilous situations that could lead to the demise of even a Cosmic Lord. Even the strongest in the universe could easily find themselves in dire straits. Furthermore, those alien Cosmic Lords may be weaker than you, but they are more familiar with the environment and could use their terrain to their advantage to ambush you. There have been several confirmed examples of the weak defeating the strong in the Cosmic Sea. Therefore, I think you should not go to overly dangerous places at the beginning. You should first explore relatively safe areas. After you become familiar with the environment of the Cosmic Sea and the fighting styles of various powerful beings, then you can venture deeper into more dangerous areas."
The Lord of Chaos City nodded and said, "Qi Yuan, what the Lord of Flint said makes sense. You might as well consider it carefully."
He knew the origin of Qi Yuan's "Theory of Origin and Evolution," as the former ruler of the Twilight Star Kingdom had relied on this inheritance to dominate the universe. However, in the Cosmic Sea, the power of the universe's origin enhanced by that inheritance would be greatly weakened, so he worried that Qi Yuan would not be able to deal with those veteran universe lords.
"That's what I'm planning to do too. I intend to explore the waters outside the Qingfeng Realm for a while first," Qi Yuan said.
It's not that he's afraid to venture out because he lost the support of the power of the universe's origin. Even without the support of the power of the universe's origin, he still has the combat power of a fourth-tier warrior, which is not weak among the lords of the universe. Even the Lord of Chaos City is completely unaware of this.
The reason he chose to venture into the waters outside the Qingfeng Realm was because, according to the information in the original work, the most important core component of the Wu-killing Wings was located in this area.
He planned to find this core component first, and then go to the black-patterned stone pillar on the spaceship to hone his will and elevate it to the level of the strongest in the universe. Only in this way could he meet the conditions for recognizing the core component of the Wu-killing Wings as his master.
The requirement for the core component of the Wu-Slaying Wings to recognize its master is that the will must be two levels higher than the user's own cultivation level.
Therefore, the best time to recognize one's master is only when one is in the presence of the Universal Venerable One.
Once one breaks through to the level of a Universe Lord, one's will must surpass that of the strongest being in the universe, reaching the level of a Void True God. Clearly, this is even more difficult, and it's unknown how many years it will take to achieve.
Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, all the Universe Lords present smiled with satisfaction.
After all, every strong person is very self-centered, especially a peerless genius like Qi Yuan, whose rise to power was almost unparalleled in the universe, and one can imagine how arrogant he was.
They were afraid that Qi Yuan would ignore their advice and insist on doing things his own way.
In their view, Qi Yuan's future potential might even surpass that of the founder of the Giant Axe. If anything were to happen to him, the entire Hong Alliance would suffer a huge loss.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yuan was so obedient that they didn't need to waste their breath.
"Lord of Origin, your future is limitless!" exclaimed the Lord of Swallow Eagles.
I'm not afraid of your genius, I'm afraid of your lack of caution. Countless peerless geniuses in the universe have died because of their lack of caution. Not to mention geniuses, even the strongest people are the same. Almost all of them died because they were too confident in themselves.
With talent, strength, and caution, Qi Yuan seemed to foresee a future where he would intimidate the entire universe, just like the original ancestor.
After another gathering, everyone exchanged information, and Qi Yuan listened attentively to their stories.
Months later, the banquet ended, and these cosmic lords departed one after another.
The Lord of Flint and the Lord of Swallow Eagle also invited Qi Yuan to venture into the waters of the Chaoqing Peak Realm together. Qi Yuan understood that they wanted to take care of him, the newcomer, but he was still thinking about finding the whereabouts of the core components of the Wu-Slaying Wings, so he politely declined.
They all exchanged contact information with Qi Yuan, telling him to contact them if he encountered any danger, so that they could help each other.
Only the Lord of Chaos City remained in the camp, because Qi Yuan had kept him there by sending a telepathic message.
"Qi Yuan, is there anything else?" the Chaos City Lord asked curiously.
"Uncle Chaos, I wonder if you could establish a connection with the Lord of Peixing in the Purple Moon Holy Land universe? I would like to ask you to help me make a deal." With that, Qi Yuan handed over a top-tier wing treasure that he had prepared.
This top-tier wing treasure was exchanged by Qi Yuan from the human treasure vault, almost using up all of Qi Yuan's treasure points.
Over the years, Qi Yuan had been refining treasures non-stop, and all the treasures he didn't need were exchanged for the human treasury, earning him a very generous amount of Treasure Points. Apart from exchanging for a top-tier flying palace treasure, "Snowy Realm," he used all the remaining Treasure Points to exchange for this wing treasure.
According to the evaluation of the human treasure trove, this treasure is even more valuable and more powerful than the Wu-Slaying Wings on Qi Yuan's body, almost approaching the level of a top-tier treasure.
"The Lord of the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe?"
The Lord of Chaos City took the winged treasure and examined it curiously in his hand.
"Excellent. I'd like to exchange this supreme wing treasure for the Five-Colored Cloud Wings worn by Lord Peixing," Qi Yuan said seriously. "If he's unwilling to exchange, we can raise the price appropriately, and I'll make up the difference. I'd even be willing to throw in another top-tier treasure!"
Such exchanges of treasures are actually quite common. After all, a supreme treasure may not be suitable for one cosmic ruler, but it may be very suitable for another.
For example, if a skilled axe user obtains a precious sword, while another skilled swordsman happens to obtain a rare axe, they would usually exchange them.
Even among the four races with deep-seated hatred—humans, insectoids, demons, and machines—such transactions occasionally occur.
Therefore, Qi Yuan thought it best to start with the human race and have them handle the transaction.
In any case, the Lord of Need certainly doesn't know the true value of the Wu assassination wings, so the transaction should be successful.
He had considered killing the Lord of Peixing and seizing the Wu-Slaying Wings component, but the Lord of Peixing was a top-tier fourth-order universe lord, which he simply couldn't do.
If powerful human warriors are mobilized to encircle and kill them, it could very likely trigger a large-scale hostility between the entire human race and the Purple Moon Holy Land universe, which would obviously be detrimental to humanity.
The powerful beings in the Purple Moon Holy Land universe are all old guys who have cultivated for many cosmic eras, and each of them has created the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe. Whether in terms of quantity or quality, they crush the human race.
"Master Uncle, look, this is my Wu-killing wings."
Qi Yuan had no intention of hiding anything, after all, the gift of killing Wu Yuyi originally came from the Lord of Chaos City.
When Qi Yuan unleashed the power of the Wu-Slaying Wings, the Chaos City Lord showed a look of surprise.
He had already realized that the Wu Yuyi was already a top-tier treasure!
It should be noted that when he first obtained the Wu-Slaying Wings, it was just an ordinary wing treasure, and apart from its special material, it was no different from other ordinary treasures.
"So the Wu-killing wings I put in the treasure vault were just one part?"
"Indeed, after I killed Venerable Tianyang of the Mechanical Race, I obtained an ordinary wing treasure from him. Unexpectedly, it actually summoned each other with this Wu-Slaying Wing. After the two wing treasures were combined, they became a top-tier treasure! Moreover, I feel that it is not complete and has other parts. Based on the information I have obtained, I speculate that the Five-Colored Cloud Wings on the Lord of Need are very likely the other parts of the Wu-Slaying Wing."
The Lord of Chaos exclaimed, "You are indeed a person favored by the will of the universe; your luck is truly extraordinary."
He didn't press Qi Yuan about where he got the information about the five-colored cloud wings from the Lord of Need, because every powerful person has their own secrets.
However, since the Wu-killing Wings were divided into several parts, what level were they originally?
Perhaps it's a top-tier treasure set? Or even the most powerful treasure?!
Thinking of this, the Lord of Chaos City became uneasy. After all, the entire human race did not have any supreme treasures, and even the most powerful supreme treasures were few and far between, which was simply not enough!
If the five-colored cloud wings are indeed a part of the Wu-killing wings, then after the two top treasures are combined, will they become a new peak treasure, or will they directly become the strongest treasure?
"Okay! I will definitely exchange it for you. Just wait for my good news."
The Lord of Chaos City readily agreed.
After leaving the human settlement, Qi Yuan arrived at the outer waters of the Peak Realm.
Looking up into the distance, one can see a majestic mountain, its peak seemingly tumbling down to the mountainside, as if some being of boundless power had sliced the mountain in half, causing the peak to fall directly to the mountainside.
The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, leading some to speculate that it had been severed by some supreme powerhouse. However, it was clear that such a powerful being had never appeared in the cosmic sea, not even the founders of the two great holy lands!
Therefore, everyone believes that this phenomenon is naturally formed.
However, Qi Yuan guessed that this was likely the work of a powerful figure from the Origin Continent, possibly the same powerful figure from the "Wu Kingdom" who had arrived in the spaceship.
"Splash splash splash—"
On the smooth main mountain, an endless, enormous waterfall cascades down, crashing onto the mountainside below. The water spreads around, submerging a significant portion of the mountaintop where it falls.
Meanwhile, countless pebbles were flying around the mountain peak.
He knew that those pebbles, though they looked very small, were actually measured in light-years!
The main peak of the Inclined Peak is about 9802 million light-years high, and the maximum diameter of its truncated peak is 1226 million light-years.
Such magnificent scenery can only be seen in the cosmic ocean. It is impossible for a mountain to be nearly 100 million light-years high or a rock to be light-years large in the primordial universe. It could only happen in the cosmic ocean that gave birth to the primordial universe.
Outside the mountain lies the outer realm, which is less dangerous, but some dangerous areas can still cause even some universe lords with weaker survival abilities to perish.
Inside the mountain lies the inner region, an area of extreme danger where even the strongest cosmic ruler could perish.
Even the strongest beings in the universe could perish at the heart of this mountain!
Most of the strong human warriors roam the inner domain.
The surrounding waters are incredibly vast, even larger than the mountain range of Qingfengjie.
Each drop of water is extremely thick; even a cosmic master would drown if they entered it!
There is a peculiar creature in the water called the "Water Spirit," which exists between life and non-life.
It has no independent consciousness, but it will take the initiative to attack when a living being enters its territory.
Water Flow Spirit operates under different laws, yet its attacks reach the level of a universe master, and alarming one will alarm a whole group.
If a weaker cosmic ruler were to encounter this, they might even perish if surrounded.
Moreover, once the Water Spirit is killed, it will turn into this strange heavy water and leave nothing behind. Therefore, the Lords of the Universe will choose to avoid the Water Spirit whenever they encounter it, as it is too much trouble to kill it and there is not much gain.
Qi Yuan encountered Shui Liuling several times during his exploration, but he quickly dodged her each time using the swift movement technique of the Wu Shi Yu Yi.
He unleashed the domain of the supreme treasure "Zhenshan Tuo," its vast golden light enveloping an area more than a light-year in distance, searching piece by piece.
Using the Wu-slaying wings behind him, he carefully sensed that once he got close to the core component, a summoning would occur.
A thousand years, two thousand years, time keeps flowing by.
Qi Yuan continued his monotonous search, going inside every cave he came across.
Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Qi Yuan still has gained nothing.
Not only did they fail to find the core components of the Wu-killing Wings, they also failed to obtain any other ordinary treasures.
The outer waters have already been searched countless times by explorers throughout history, making the probability of finding a treasure extremely low.
Qi Yuan did not slack off in his cultivation during the search.
He has now mastered the last branch of spatial laws, "spatial strangulation".
Qi Yuan has already comprehended the three profound mysteries of the laws of space: spatial teleportation, spatial blockade, and spatial strangulation.
Once the three profound mysteries merge to form a complete spatial law, Qi Yuan will be able to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe.
However, he is not yet able to break through, so he has stopped comprehending the laws of space and is focusing on comprehending the laws of fusion.
Among them, the Wind-Time Fusion Law has reached the seventh level, while the other seven fusion laws are still at the fifth level.
