Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1229 - 1223: Hidden Dangers of the Vast Star Map

The people had just entered the defensive boundary and had not yet entered Mo Yuantian's cave mansion, when they saw two Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountains standing outside the cave mansion.

Although the primordial energy of these Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountains made no difference to the likes of Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu now.

But such things were hard to even glance at when they first arrived in the First Universe, let alone having two Yuan Vein Mountains appear all at once.

Shen Dai sighed deeply.

The ten Realm Lords, even the tenth Realm Lord Ji Yijian, all had their own Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountains.

Only he, as a Realm Lord, was not qualified to own a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain.

Where have all the Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountains in the First Universe gone?

Now there's an answer.

Outside Mo Yuantian's cave mansion, there were already two giant Yuan Vein Mountains, and as for the inside, there were clearly more.

Look at the Divine Jade Avenue between the two Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountains, below it was entirely laid out with Cosmic Origin Veins.

Mo Wuji gave Ku Ya a meaningful glance.

Ku Ya immediately understood and unhesitatingly collected the two Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountains.

For someone with the cultivation level of Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain was of little use.

But in reality, each Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain was incredibly valuable.

In the vastness of endless universes, how many people could reach the level of Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu?

For an ordinary Star Land without any Spiritual Energy, just one Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain falling on it could instantly transform it into a high-rule Star Land.

One with extremely dense Primordial Energy.

Just like the World of Gods, which even Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu couldn't enter before, combined, it did not have a single Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain.

Seeing Ku Ya's actions, Mo Yuantian lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't seen anything.

His life was likely on the line, how could he care about Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountains?

Never mind the Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountains outside the cave mansion, even the few inside his cave mansion would not remain.

Mo Yuantian's cave mansion was large, having only one main cultivation room but as many as twenty auxiliary cultivation rooms.

Both Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu assumed that the vast Star Map, such a treasure, must be kept in the main cultivation room.

How could such a top-level treasure not be under one's own watch?

Before, Kui Feng said the vast Star Map couldn't be casually taken away; otherwise, such a treasure should be carried at all times.

Unexpectedly, Mo Yuantian led them to the first auxiliary cultivation room.

And in the first auxiliary cultivation room, there was only one map.

Precisely speaking, it was a Stone Map floating in the Void.

The Stone Map initially appeared to be incredibly clear, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to vanish and become blurred.

Divine Will landed on it and immediately disappeared without a trace.

Neither Lan Xiaobu nor Mo Wuji could penetrate this Stone Map with their Divine Will.

They could only see the hazy aura on the Stone Map, seemingly like a real world with infinite Source Principles interchanging.

The shape of the Stone Map was also strange, as if many parts were missing, rendering it incomplete.

"Is this just a part of the vast Star Map?" Lan Xiaobu asked, looking at Mo Yuantian.

Mo Yuantian carefully replied, "Yes, the vast Star Map is divided into eight parts, each from the first to the eighth Realm Lord having one.

These eight Stone Maps combined make a complete vast Star Map."

Shen Dai commented from the side, "I don't have one, and Ji Yijian was expelled early on, so he probably doesn't have one either."

"Have you refined the vast Star Map?" Lan Xiaobu continued to inquire.

Mo Yuantian nodded, "Yes, the vast Star Map was bestowed by the vastness itself, aiding us in refining a portion each to maintain all universes under its vastness.

After refining the vast Star Map, during use, one's mind and the vast Star Map merge, enabling the control of a universe.

My portion of the vast Star Map is of the Second Universe, so I can control the Second Universe.

As long as my Dao Mind is fused with the vast Star Map, I can control every blade of grass in the Second Universe from this place at any time.

But I have never done so, nor have I ever used the vast Star Map to destroy any Star Land..."

What vastness bestowed upon you?

Isn't it bestowed upon them by Yuan Jiqiong?

This guy dares not mention Yuan Jiqiong's name and just speaks of the bestowed vastness.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu finally understood.

It turns out these Realm Lords could easily control everything in a lower universe's Cosmic Planes and Star Lands through the vast Star Map.

No wonder a hand seal could cross multiple Source Principle boundaries of the First Universe to reach other universes.

At this moment, both Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu felt extremely burdened.

Being able to control other universes through the vast Star Map, wasn't it akin to having the other universes as their private gardens?

In other words, if these Realm Lords, in the past, had discovered their existence through the vast Star Map and disliked them, they would have been crushed to dust long ago by those Realm Lords.

This implies that their lives have always been under the control of these Realm Lords.

Mo Wuji chuckled slightly, "You not only never did it, you haven't even merged with the vast Star Map a few times, right?"

Mo Yuantian's heart skipped a beat, quickly acknowledging, "This junior's cultivation was always lacking, so there was no time to use the vast Star Map to communicate with other universes."

Mo Wuji said calmly, "It's not that you didn't have the time, you were worried the vast Star Map would backfire on you. Or fear one day becoming the Spirit of the vast Star Map.

In short, you did not trust Jiqiong, afraid Jiqiong might have set a hidden trap for you.

Otherwise, why would you place the vast Star Map in an auxiliary cultivation room?"

Mo Yuantian remained silent as this was indeed what he thought.

Though in his heart he dared not harbor even a single disrespectful thought against Yuan Jiqiong, he was genuinely afraid.

What kind of treasure is the Hao Han Star Map?

It can control everything in other universes, and it's not an exaggeration to say it is the supreme magical treasure under the Hao Han.

Would Jiqiong give such a magical treasure to a few small realm lords for free?

Qu Ba and Dou Ling, those realm lords, don't care. They even use the Hao Han Star Map to fight, taking pleasure in setting up cosmic calamities to destroy low-level cosmic star lands.

But Mo Yuantian dares not do so; at least he still has some sense.

"Let me ask you one more question. Other universes under the Hao Han are constantly changing; for example, some star lands get destroyed, and some get created due to cosmic laws...

Do these changes also simultaneously reflect on the Hao Han Star Map?"

Mo Wuji stared into Mo Yuantian's eyes as he asked.

If this guy dares to speak even half a lie, he will be soul searched immediately.

Feeling the killing intent from Mo Wuji, Mo Yuantian hurriedly replied, "Yes, any changes in the universes under the Hao Han will be reflected in the Hao Han Star Map."

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu felt even heavier in their hearts.

They didn't understand why Jiqiong hadn't dealt with them yet.

But Jiqiong has something like the Hao Han Star Map; dealing with them should be easy.

Another more terrifying concern is their current position in the first universe.

Mo Yuantian stated that there are eight pieces of the Hao Han Star Map.

Neither Mo Wuji nor Lan Xiaobu believed that there are only eight pieces of the Hao Han Star Map.

Nine is considered the extreme number.

Such a supreme treasure as the Hao Han Star Map surely can't be only eight pieces.

What if there are nine pieces instead of just eight?

Even the Hao Han Star Map held by Mo Yuantian, the first realm lord, controls only the second universe.

As for the other realm lords, needless to say, they control the third to the ninth universes.

If so, where is the piece that controls the first universe?

The Hao Han Star Map can control the universe divisions of the Hao Han and cannot uniquely lack the first universe.

This was determined by the source principles of the first split of Hao Han.

If their guess is correct, there's indeed a Hao Han Star Map that controls the first universe.

Then they're currently in the first universe.

Could the person controlling the Hao Han Star Map of the first universe eliminate them at any time through it?

If they want safety, they can only escape from the first universe.

But escaping anywhere still places them under the Hao Han.

As long as they are under the Hao Han, they are theoretically within the range of the Hao Han Star Map's control.

Or should they leave the Hao Han and enter that terrifying void?

Both Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji felt a chill down their spines.

Isn't that seeking death?

Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji exchanged a glance, and although they didn't speak, they both reached a decision in their minds.

If Jiqiong truly wants to crush them through the Hao Han Star Map, they'd rather enter the void than be controlled by Jiqiong.

Fortunately, Jiqiong hasn't appeared so far.

"Wu Ji, we overlooked one issue. Think about it. If we are in the second universe now, even if Mo Yuantian could find us through the Hao Han Star Map, what could he do to us?"

Lan Xiaobu spoke up.

Mo Wuji's eyes lit up.

Indeed, he had just ignored this problem.

The Hao Han Star Map can indeed help someone control a particular universe, but it's not their own universe.

To destroy this universe, one also needs to use their own divine skills.

If their divine skills are stronger than the person controlling the Hao Han Star Map, even if the opponent can destroy the universe they're in, they can't do anything to them.

"Xiao Bu, regardless, we must take this Star Map away." Mo Wuji said as he stepped out and stood beside the Hao Han Star Map.

Kui Feng opened his mouth to say that the Hao Han Star Map couldn't be taken away, but then he kept silent.

He remembered how Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu even severed the oath of the Hao Han, so taking away the Hao Han Star Map might not be impossible either.

Even Ji Yijian looked at Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu.

He naturally knew about the Hao Han Star Map.

This thing was something neither they nor San Dao dared to covet, vaguely guessing that the Star Map was Jiqiong's item.

Leaving it with the realm lords of the first universe was just Jiqiong using their hands to control the endless universes under Hao Han.

If the Hao Han Star Map could be taken away easily, San Dao would have done so long ago.

However, he knew Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu well.

What San Dao can't take away, the two of them might really do it.

Whether it's Mo Wuji or Lan Xiaobu, they both construct their own source principle Tao universe, their great dao long surpassed the Hao Han...

Thinking of this, Ji Yijian sighed.

If his great dao had also broken free from the constraints of Hao Han, would he have to be so timid now?

His cultivation in Hao Han Sword Dao, his awe of the Hao Han, and his fear of Jiqiong invisibly limited the development of his Sword Dao.

It even made Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu look down on him.

Alas!

(Good night, fellow Taoist!)
