The covers of the seven remnant scrolls originally had nothing on them. Now they presented strange patterns. When Jun Changxiao casually arranged them, they actually formed a map!

No.

To be precise, it was a star domain map.

Judging from the general structure, many star systems and many planes existed within.

Over these years, Jun Changxiao had piloted the Eternal and been to many places, but he had no impression of this place.

“Normal.”

The System said, “The host’s understanding of the upper universe is currently only the tip of the iceberg.”

“Why is there a star domain map?”

Intuition told Jun Changxiao that the patterns appearing in the remnant scrolls were definitely not casual doodling. Very possibly, they were… treasure left behind by his former self!

“Right.”

The System said speechlessly, “You’ve truly immersed yourself in the role of being the Seven Profound Saint Sovereign’s past life without being able to extricate yourself.”

“Find it!”

Jun Changxiao immediately took up brush and ink, copied the image formed by piecing together the seven books, then went to the Array Hall and handed it to Shangguan Xinyao.

“Sect Master.”

She asked, “What is this?”

“A star domain map.” Jun Changxiao instructed, “Find it as quickly as possible.”

“Oh.”

Shangguan Xinyao picked up the pattern, carefully observed and contemplated, then shook her head and said, “These places don’t exist in the already-explored areas of our star map.”

What is called the strongest brain?

Places she’d been, places on the map—all stored in her mind, no need to individually compare at the map apparatus!

“Then search for it.” Jun Changxiao said.

The Taixuan Elder drinking tea beside them directly spat it out and said, “The upper universe is so vast. It’s not something you can find just by searching.”

“That’s your problem.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Not this seat’s problem.”

“…” The Taixuan Elder said speechlessly, “Our Array Hall is only responsible for researching arrays. Shouldn’t searching for planes and certain things be handed to the Drizzle Hall?”

“Makes sense.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Then have them search for it.”

Just like that, work originally assigned to the Array Hall was completely transferred to the Drizzle Hall. When Li Luoqiu learned of it, although his head hurt a bit, he still organized personnel to search for the location marked on the map.

“Swoosh!”

“Swoosh!”

That very day, countless warships set sail from the Eternal Realm and flew toward the starry sky.

Li Luoqiu dispatched nearly a thousand members this time. They would go to unexplored regions of the universe.

After leaving the upper realm, Jun Changxiao at most counted as interstellar traveling—flying aimlessly, stopping wherever he went, everything by chance.

Now with the Eternal Realm as a foundation, commanding disciples to explore unknown regions meant truly proactively exploring the entire upper universe.

As the saying goes: when Dog Leftover sets out, not a blade of grass grows.

Hopefully, certain prosperous planes wouldn’t be discovered by Drizzle Hall members and marked on Eternal Sect’s Central Star Map Array.

What is the Central Star Map Array?

It’s a special array formulated by Taixuan Elder. Its specialty is that it has no offensive or defensive functions. Its purpose is merely to record various star domains and the positions and coordinates of various planes.

Bluntly put.

It’s more like a professional map.

A complete record of the upper universe’s various star domains and planes.

Of course, many star domains hadn’t been explored yet. So when coordinates were obtained, they would also be precisely loaded.

Taixuan Elder’s move was to map out the most complete universal panorama in history.

The Drizzle Hall dispatching members to explore could precisely obtain many unexplored, unvisited places to continuously enrich and perfect the Central Star Map Array.

It seemed boring.

But if one day all the upper universe’s star domains and planes appeared on it, that would truly be an achievement worthy of being recorded in history.

…

“Sect Master!”

The next day, Li Luoqiu hurriedly walked into the great hall, his expression serious as he said, “Lingwei Realm has disappeared.”

“Disappeared?”

Jun Changxiao said, “Was it destroyed?”

Li Luoqiu explained, “According to the messages sent back, Lingwei Realm evaporated like air within its star domain.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao frowned.

In the afternoon, Li Luoqiu came to report again: “Sect Master, Linghua Realm has also disappeared!”

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao hurriedly came before the Central Star Map Array in the Array Hall and quickly discovered that not only were Lingwei Realm and Linghua Realm in the same star domain, the two were also very close to each other.

In just a few hours, two disappeared in succession. Very abnormal!

More than just two.

By the time night fell, another one disappeared.

“Our Hall members went to explore the star domain the Sect Master provided and happened to pass through this star domain. They didn’t discover any abnormalities.” Li Luoqiu said.

Jun Changxiao sat in the head position, fingers interlaced together. After brief silence, he thought to himself, “Is it the Heavenly Demon Emperor?”

Recalling how the Heaven Devouring Demon Ancestor had devoured planes, he couldn’t help but suspect whether the other party had comprehended that evil technique and started walking the former’s old path.

“If it’s the Heavenly Demon Emperor.”

The System said, “That’s troublesome.”

“Headache.”

Jun Changxiao leaned back in his chair, rubbed his temples, his gaze revealing a rare sense of powerlessness.

From the current situation, without cheats, he definitely couldn’t beat the Heavenly Demon Emperor. Now that guy had mastered the evil technique of devouring planes, his strength would definitely continuously improve. How would he contend with him in the future?

“Contend?”

The System said, “Pray he doesn’t catch you is more like it.”

“No.”

Jun Changxiao stood up, his expression serious as he said, “We must quickly find the location marked on the star domain map. Inside may exist a method to defeat the Heavenly Demon Emperor.”

The seven remnant scrolls contained supreme mysteries. Now they provided star domain coordinates—he firmly believed there must be fortune there.

Or perhaps.

His former self calculated that the Heaven Devouring Demon Ancestor would reincarnate and deliberately left the seven remnant scrolls, leaving behind a countermeasure.

“This is quite possible, but…” The System roared, “Can you stop inserting yourself as the Seven Profound Saint Sovereign!”

…

Endless universe, slightly sinister.

“Swoosh—” At a certain plane in a certain star domain, a black shadow appeared out of thin air, then inserted ten fingers into the ground. The corners of his mouth gradually rose, revealing a hair-raising smile.

“Buzz buzz!”

The ten fingers emitted special energy, not only penetrating deep into the ground but also quickly finding the plane’s origin and binding it.

“Crack crack crack!”

Tightening, constricting.

The plane’s origin wanted to struggle but couldn’t resist the binding force. Internal power constantly flowed away, rapidly transforming from brilliant to dim.

When a plane’s heart stopped beating, it would inevitably bring world-destroying consequences. But before it could fall apart, the special energy dispersed in the earth suddenly generated suction.

“Swoosh—”

In the blink of an eye, the plane disappeared from the cosmic starry sky.

The living beings residing inside and the resources naturally all disappeared too.

“Kekeke!”

The black shadow hanging in the area where the plane disappeared licked his fingers and said with lingering desire, “Delicious delicacy.”

Who?

The Heavenly Demon Emperor.

Jun Changxiao truly guessed correctly. This guy had witnessed the Heaven Devouring Demon Ancestor’s repeated actions through the light screen and had gained higher comprehension of the Heaven Devouring Demon Transformation Great Law. He had already initially mastered the ability to devour heaven and earth!

…

“Sect Master!”

Li Luoqiu came to report, “Another one disappeared!”

“…”

Jun Changxiao’s brow furrowed even tighter.

He was now even more certain that the planes’ disappearance was inseparable from the Heavenly Demon Emperor!

The System said, “The ones disappearing are all small planes. If it’s the Heavenly Demon Emperor doing it, it means he hasn’t completely absorbed the devouring power.”

“Therefore.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Before he reaches the level of the Heaven Devouring Demon Ancestor, we must quickly find a way to resolve him. Otherwise, the entire upper universe will become food!”

Search search!

Accelerate the search!

The entire Eternal Sect mobilized!

Higher-ups and disciples piloted ships and flew toward the cosmic starry sky. Finally, hard work paid off. After experiencing a month, they successfully found the region marked on the map.

“No mistake.”

Jun Changxiao stood at the bow of the Eternal. His spiritual sense constantly permeated the unknown cosmic region ahead as he said, “This should be it.”

Jian Guixu said solemnly, “This is the upper universe’s most dangerous forbidden land. Sect Master Jun, you’d best not rashly enter. Otherwise…”

He didn’t finish speaking.

Because Jun Changxiao had already entered.

And when he crossed some kind of hidden dividing line, several words gradually appeared in the starry sky—Abyss of Despair.

“Swish!”

Eternal Sect’s higher-ups and disciples all followed in.

Those floating four words, though extremely sinister and frightening, since the Sect Master entered, they would follow without hesitation.

“Ding! Legendary quest triggered!”

After Jun Changxiao and the disciples entered this region, a notification suddenly sounded in their ears.

Legendary?

Quest?!!
