Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 182 First Entry into the Cosmic Sea

The vast, primordial membrane of the universe contains a hole with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Whoosh! Two figures flew out from the cave entrance.

It was Zhang Yi and the ruler of Youhou.

"Is this the Cosmic Sea?" Zhang Yi looked around curiously.

All around, there was an endless stream of chaotic energy, which possessed a powerful pressure.

Of course, with his strength, this pressure was as gentle as a breeze.

"Haha, how does it feel? This is the place where the strong should come. After all, the primordial universe is the cradle of life, far less cruel than the cosmic sea," Lord Youhou said excitedly.

"This place contains endless treasures, far surpassing anything on the original star. Of course, it is also extremely dangerous."

"Hmm." Zhang Yi glanced back at the endless cosmic membrane, then looked at the boundless chaotic currents, and felt a surge of pride in his heart.

Next, Lord Youhou gave a detailed account of the information about the Cosmic Sea, including various dangerous places, wormholes, and powerful figures from the three great cycles of reincarnation.

Zhang Yi listened carefully; what Lord Youhou said was basically the same as in the original work.

"Let's go, to the Peak Realm. It's been so long since I've been there." Lord Youhou shouted and disappeared from the spot.

"Hopefully, that new map of the Outland will bring some surprises."

"The Peak Realm?" Zhang Yi chuckled. "I've arrived."

They then disappeared right in front of the huge hole.

The two traveled through the chaotic air currents, sometimes teleporting, sometimes traversing vast distances through wormholes.

A few days later, they arrived at that iconic, dilapidated miniature universe.

The two made a brief stop here before continuing their journey.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yi and his companion had been in the Cosmic Sea for nearly ten days. During this time, they used high-intensity teleportation and traveled through wormholes.

They encountered several less dangerous places along the way, but neither of them stopped. Their goal this time was the Peak Realm.

"Ah! Is this the Realm of Peaks?"

In the instant after teleporting, Zhang Yi looked out at the towering mountain in the distance, the peak that had fallen halfway down the mountainside, the mountaintop submerged by a huge waterfall, and the countless boulders surrounding the mountain.

All of this demonstrates the magnificent and awe-inspiring nature of this perilous place.

"Shocking, isn't it? I had the same expression when I first came here." The voice of Lord Youhou came from behind, and then he sighed, "Every time I come to Qingfeng Realm, I wonder if this mountain, which is nearly a hundred million light-years high, was really cut in half by an incredible super being?"

"If that were true, how terrifying would such a being be?"

Zhang Yi smiled; the Lord of Youhou was quite curious.

However, if it was truly the work of a super being, then it must have been at least a God-King.

Zhang Yi wondered to himself.

"Let's go, the teacher is still waiting for us," Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Lord Youhou nodded: "Let's go, don't keep my master and the others waiting."

A moment later, the two arrived at a temple in a celestial rock canyon with a maximum diameter of about 8.2 million light-years.

"Zhang Yi, Youhou, you two have arrived." The Chaos City Lord, dressed in a golden robe, walked out of the temple.

Following the Lord of Chaos City, four more Lords of the Universe emerged.

To Zhang Yi's surprise, there were three Universe Lords among the human race, only one of whom was a powerful figure from another race within the Hong Alliance. "Teacher (Senior Uncle), everyone," Zhang Yi greeted the Lord of Youhou with a smile.

Inside the temple, the seven lords of the universe sat scattered about.

"Lord of Time and Space, welcome to the Cosmic Sea. It's fortunate that we were able to come out in such a short time. Other Lords of the Universe have already ventured deep into the Peak Realm, and it takes them a long time just to come out." The Lord of Void Gold lowered his eyebrows and revealed a rare smile as he spoke.

The other cosmic lords also offered words of welcome.

Zhang Yi smiled and looked around, responding, "Teacher, Lord of Void Gold, Lord of Yanshan, Lord of Wilderness Mirror, Lord of Flint."

"Zhang Yi has just entered the Cosmic Sea. Let us wish the Lord of Time and Space endless treasures and eternal life!" The Lord of Chaos City raised his wine cup.

"Infinite treasures, eternal life!" the other universe lords all exclaimed.

Zhang Yi also smiled and said, "Treasures are endless, life is eternal!"

After offering their congratulations, the several cosmic lords left to continue their adventures.

Of course, just like in the original story, the Lord of Flint said something similar to Zhang Yi.

Inside the temple, only Zhang Yi, the Lord of Chaos City, and the Lord of Youhou remained.

“Zhang Yi, that Lord of Flint is just that kind of person, you don’t need to lower yourself to his level,” said Lord Youhou. “He’s just a third-tier Universe Lord, yet he dares to lecture my most outstanding human genius.”

"Zhang Yi, when you surpass the Lord of Flint in strength, you must teach him a lesson."

"I've disliked him for a long time."

Zhang Yi couldn't help but smile. In the future? His current strength was no weaker than that of the Lord of Flint, and might even be slightly stronger.

"Teacher, according to what I know, the Giant Axe Founder is currently venturing into Twin Mountains, where most of the strong members of our human race are also gathered. Why are the Lord of Void Gold and others coming to the Peak Realm?" Zhang Yi asked in confusion.

"You mean this, Lord You? Why don't you tell Zhang Yi about it?" the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

Lord Youhou said, "Zhang Yi, it's like this. Didn't I obtain a map of the Qingfeng Realm from the Origin Hall before? Many areas involve the inner domain, but I don't have the strength to explore them, so I directly contributed the map to the clan."

"The first time you venture into a new map, you'll reap greater rewards. All the strong members of our human race will come to explore it."

"Master Peng and Master Qingdong, who arrived here long ago, have already ventured deep into the inner region."

"I'm a little late because I was waiting for you to explore the outer realms together."

Zhang Yi nodded.

"Alright, now you understand the situation. This is a map showing the three perilous areas related to our human race, containing information from powerful figures in the Primordial Universe, the Two Great Cycles, and the Two Holy Lands." The Chaos City Lord waved his hand and took out a transparent crystal sphere that shimmered with golden light. "After you've finished reading it, remember to destroy it."

"Hmm." Zhang Yi nodded, took the crystal ball, and a large amount of information entered his mind.

"Zhang Yi, Youhou, I'm also going to explore the inner region," said the Chaos City Lord. "You two can just explore the outer region."

After saying this, the Lord of Chaos City disappeared from the temple.

"Lord You, let me first digest the information about the powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea and the map of the Peak Realm that my teacher gave me." After saying this, Zhang Yi sat down cross-legged and began to carefully analyze and absorb this information.

A day later, Zhang Yi stood up and looked at the Lord of Youhou, who had been waiting impatiently in the distance: "Let's go."

Whoosh! The two teleported away from the temple, and with a series of teleports, they arrived at the outer domain of the Peak Realm—the Endless Waters.

"Zhang Yi, the new map of the outer realms hasn't been explored by any powerful figures yet. Perhaps we can discover some great treasures this time," Lord Youhou said cautiously as he flew through the water.

"No one has explored it? Doesn't the Lord of Flint know?" Zhang Yi asked.

"He didn't get a share of this new map. After all, it's a resource of our human race, and there's no need to share it all with these alien races."
