Across the expanse, another stone pillar stood, identical at first glance to all the others, save for a faint claw mark discernible upon close inspection. The mark was the size of a normal human palm, possessing four digits, and had been etched deeply into the stone.

"A claw mark?"

"Whose claw mark is this? This flow of flame-like slurry could likely incinerate even a Universe Master wearing top-tier treasure armor. Who could have reached this place?" Luo Feng pondered silently. The entrance to the main peak of the Void Primal Realm was through that severed section... while Luo Feng had entered the mountain's interior by navigating upstream through the mysterious space of the water zone.

Judging by the location, he ought to be situated on the relatively flat abdomen of the main peak of the Void Primal Realm.

Descending from above... the further one penetrated the Void Primal Realm, the deeper one went, meaning the area he occupied was certainly no ordinary region, a fact underscored by the absence of any record of these pillars in the Human Race's data archives.

"Whoever reached this place is no ordinary expert; it's very likely one of the Universe's strongest beings," Luo Feng mused to himself.

The Star Tower floated towards the claw mark on the stone pillar, appearing as small as a sesame seed while meticulously examining the impression.

"The grit at the center of the claw mark!"

Luo Feng's eyes lit up. The pillar was composed of countless grains of sand. Where the claw mark was carved, it naturally disturbed a vast number of these grains. Although all the innumerable grains were stunningly beautiful, faintly refracting space, the single grain at the very center of the claw mark pulsed with a subtle, extraordinary aura.

"Let's go in and take a look."

The tip of the Star Tower gently touched that central grain.

Swish!

The entirety of the tower was instantly drawn into a space contained within the grain of sand.

Inside the grain space... the temperature was noticeably much lower, only equivalent to the core temperature of a star. Compared to the external heat capable of incinerating the divine power of a Universe Master, this was far better.

"Die!"

The Demon Fiend avatar materialized from thin air, and the Star Tower settled onto the avatar's shoulder.

"This space," the Demon Fiend avatar surveyed the surroundings. At a glance, the vast space was utterly silent. Apart from endless mountains and earth composed of rock, there was nothing else unusual. Luo Feng had entered a grain space once before; it was similarly dead silent... nothing special.

"This grain is clearly different; I refuse to believe it holds no unique qualities."

"Golden Domain!"

Luo Feng willed it.

An endless, hazy golden light instantly descended upon this grain space. The rocks, earth, and mountains within the space did not seem so special. The stones of the four peaks in the Void Primal Realm, for instance, were exceptionally unique: firstly, they were incredibly hard, and even if one expended great effort to destroy a small portion, the damaged areas would rapidly condense and regrow. Secondly, it was incredibly difficult for divine power, domains, or anything else to permeate them.

"The rocks and mountains within this grain space are not special; they are just ordinary stone."

"This grain space truly does possess something unique."

The Demon Fiend avatar revealed a hint of joy.

Brush!

With a single stride, he traversed tens of thousands of kilometers... arriving at a mountain peak. On the peak was a smooth rock face, upon which a peculiar fluctuation was emanating. On the ground before the rock face lay two objects.

One was a cyan pillar, intricately carved with the image of a strange, tusked beast.

The other was an exquisitely beautiful silk cloth, woven with intertwining black and gold threads, exuding waves of aura that felt profoundly comforting even to the Demon Fiend avatar.

"These two items..."

The Demon Fiend avatar was greatly elated.

After all, he was backed by the Human Race's data archive; few things could escape his recognition, and he could certainly identify both objects before him.

"These are actually tokens from the Cosmic Boat, one of the Three Great Forbidden Zones!" Luo Feng gazed at the pillar carved with the strange cyan beast. "Legend has it that possessing this token grants certain privileges within the Cosmic Boat... significantly reducing the danger, and providing a dedicated cultivation space."

The Cosmic Boat... was a gargantuan, ruined spaceship.

How could a mere damaged vessel warrant being named one of the Three Great Forbidden Zones?

Firstly, the Cosmic Boat was impossibly large, spanning hundreds of millions of light-years in its entirety... and it could devour endless chaotic energy, leading to numerous dangerous and hostile environments surrounding the ship alone... Furthermore, the interior of the Cosmic Boat was fraught with peril everywhere. It first appeared countless epochs ago, preceding even the birth of the two Holy Land Universes! No one knew the origin of the Cosmic Boat.

Moreover, the Cosmic Boat had a propensity for consuming minor universes..."Damaged minor universes were often drawn to it, subsequently being swallowed and absorbed. It was due to this aspect that it was publicly known as the 'Cosmic Boat.' This ruined super-vessel of infinite might possessed infinite danger and infinite treasure!

Danger sufficient to cause the fall of the Universe's strongest beings.

Treasure sufficient to drive any power in the Sea of Universe mad.

And the token was a unique item within the Cosmic Boat. As long as the token was carried, one couldn't claim to be safe from all dangerous areas, but at least some dangerous zones would cease to be perilous. Moreover, each token corresponded to a massive secret chamber, and each chamber was an independent space.

"The Thread Drawing Map."

Luo Feng turned his attention to the other item.

The first item was the token for the Cosmic Boat.

The second item was the Thread Drawing Map.

Lord Yuan Ao had previously presented a copy of the Thread Drawing Map, causing frenzied competition among various factions.

Thread Silk (Qian Si) was an incredibly precious material, essential for crafting 'Illusionary Arts' supreme treasures. It naturally possessed the effect of calming the mind. The fragment Luo Feng had obtained previously was too small. This Thread Drawing Map before him appeared even larger than the complete one Lord Yuan Ao had presented, and the aura it radiated made the Demon Fiend avatar feel immensely comfortable.

"To lavishly use Thread Silk to create such a large piece of cloth..." Luo Feng muttered, "Such extravagance—only a Universe's strongest being could manage it..."

The Demon Fiend avatar reached out for the Thread Drawing Map.

A trace of divine power penetrated the map, and his consciousness entered the 'Thread Drawing Map,' instantly feeling as if he had stepped into a virtual space.

Within this virtual space...

It depicted a colossal, virtual Cosmic Boat, with a single red thread traversing a specific portion of its regions. The dangers of every area were simulated and described, along with methods to evade them and pass through the hazardous zones.

"This, this is a partial map of the Cosmic Boat?" The Demon Fiend avatar immediately withdrew his divine power, understanding dawning instantly, followed by immense joy.

The Three Great Forbidden Zones were equally matched.

The Void Primal Realm, the Cosmic Boat, and the Flowing Heavy Mountain were all locations where supreme treasures could manifest, and pinnacle supreme treasures were common. Of course, accompanying these precious treasures were terrifying environments...? A more detailed map was incomparably precious.

This map...

Was in no way inferior in value to the one Lord Yuan Ao had presented, potentially equivalent to a rare Divine Wood treasure, and Luo Feng had acquired it alone.

Boom~ A surge of fluctuation suddenly erupted from the rock face ahead.

Luo Feng, who had just picked up the cyan token again, involuntarily looked up. On the rock face ahead, images began to materialize, and two indistinct figures started to appear. One figure was an incredibly beautiful woman enveloped in endless green leaves; seeing her felt like witnessing the most vibrant existence in the universe, filling Luo Feng with deep comfort.

The other figure was cloaked in a gray robe, appearing at first glance like a piece of deadwood. His head resembled crystal, lacking hair, ears, or a nose; he only possessed three eyes and a mouth.

"I am Jiefanzi..." the gray-robed figure spoke.

"I am Zhen Lin," replied the beautiful woman surrounded by countless leaves.

The gray-robed figure continued: "When you pick up the two items I left behind, you will see this recording! I just wonder... which reincarnation era it is when you are viewing this recording..." As the gray-robed figure in the recording spoke, peculiar fluctuations emanated. Although it was not any language Luo Feng knew, the fluctuations transmitted directly into his mind, allowing him to understand them naturally.

To a certain degree, understanding was immediate without the need for verbal language; intent waves alone conveyed meaning.

"Which reincarnation era..." Luo Feng was inwardly startled.

These two had mentioned...

The human data archives had already informed Luo Feng about the terrifying figures from the three Great Universe Eras and the two Holy Land Universes, but neither Jiefanzi nor Zhen Lin was among them; he had never even heard their names. Clearly, they were not beings from those three universe reincarnation cycles.

"I am the strongest lone cultivator. Before my final struggle, I did not wish to waste my inheritance, my countless years of effort. Therefore, on my journey to challenge that reincarnation, I placed a token from the Cosmic Boat and its map here..." the gray-robed figure explained. "That token represents an independent space within the Cosmic Boat. Aside from taking my supreme treasure with me to challenge the reincarnation, I left everything else there. My only hope is... that later generations can let all that I left behind shine brightly, and if possible, pass down some of the secret methods and ultimate skills I created."

"This is not a demand..."

"I cannot demand anything from a powerhouse who might exist countless reincarnation eras later," the gray-robed figure stated.

Luo Feng's heart accelerated.

Damn.

The Thread Drawing Map and the cyan token for the Cosmic Boat were merely... keys. A lone Universe's strongest being took his supreme treasure and left everything else there? The wealth of a Universe's strongest being was terrifyingly immense. Consider how much Founder Giant Axe contributed to the Human Race?

Take the lone cultivator Lord Sitting Mountain Guest; pinnacle supreme treasures meant nothing to him.

Founder Heizhou, in the past, directly stated he desired the rare Divine Wood, willing to compensate others with pinnacle supreme treasures.

To a lone Universe's strongest being... such pinnacle supreme treasures were useless.

"Junior." Another wave of vibrant energy arrived, and the beautiful woman also spoke. "I, Zhen Lin, have also left an inheritance. As for the token and the map, they are about a million light-years from here. If your strength is sufficient, you might as well search the surroundings. Finding them depends on your luck."

"Don't listen to her," the gray-robed figure interjected. "This is already the core of the Void Primal Realm, dangerous everywhere, where even a Universe's strongest being might perish. Although some Universe's strongest beings challenging reincarnation might leave tokens nearby, obtaining them relies on luck; searching for them is too perilous." He continued, "We have lived for nearly three reincarnation eras, our lifespan nearing its end; we must make one last desperate attempt to challenge reincarnation. If we succeed... we will achieve eternal existence and even establish a Holy Land Universe."

"There is only one Holy Land Universe in the Sea of Universe now," the leaf-wreathed woman added. "I want to see two Holy Land Universes appear in the Sea of Universe..."

"Hahaha, Zhen Lin, let's go..."

"Go."

The figures of the gray-robed man and the leaf-covered woman vanished in a flash, and the recording soon faded away.

Luo Feng stood before the rock face, stunned and silent for a long time.
