Chapter 1018

Of course, the glacier relics in the Ninth Abyss are very impressive, making Cao Bing extremely eager. However, it is not easy to enter the relics.
Firstly, the Ninth Abyss is already a forbidden place in the universe sea. Even the powerful masters of the universe who enter will be close to death.
Generally speaking, only the strongest beings in the universe have the confidence to retreat safely from the Ninth Abyss.
And unless the Lord of the Universe possesses a defense-type treasure of the utmost power and value, the only path in the Ninth Abyss is that of death.
And even if one has an extremely powerful treasure to protect oneself, it can only guarantee survival but far from being able to move freely within the Ninth Abyss.
Furthermore, the Ninth Abyss is enormous and its internal terrain is extremely complex, so it is not an easy task to find that glacier.
Even if one safely arrives at the glacier in Abyss No. 9, the hope of finding the concealed entrance in the vast glacier seems bleak.
It is remembered that in the original work, Luo Feng also found the glacier in an extremely fortuitous situation, and with the help of the powerful senior, Mount Situ, he was able to enter the ruins beneath the glacier.
This level of luck is almost impossible to replicate.
If it were Cao Bing instead, although Cao Bing's Evil Skeleton Peak was also an extremely powerful treasure, it could also be used as a palace-class treasure.
However, after all, it is not a complete state now, and Cao Bing can't guarantee that he can survive in the Ninth Abyss relying on the current Evil Skeleton Peak.
And even if Evil Skeleton Peak can protect Cao Bing to survive in the Ninth Abyss, it will still take at least tens of thousands of years to find the entrance to the ruins with such limited information.
So this relic, although good, is not the best choice for Cao Bing.
Apart from the Glacier Ruins of the Ninth Abyss, the second and largest opportunity that Cao Bing knows about is the "Tomb Ship" that appears in the Flame Ice Domain inside the Universe Ship among the Three Great Ulteriors of the Universe Sea.
This tomb ship contains the complete inheritance of the extremely ancient powerhouse and super mogul "Wu from the Broken East River". It also holds a large sum of heritage, which is enough to make the already infinitely valuable Cao Bing assets skyrocket once again by tens or even hundreds of times.
This is an unparalleled opportunity in the universe.
However, like the glacial relics, this unparalleled opportunity also has significant drawbacks.
The first drawback is the immense uncertainty of this tomb ship because it does not constantly reside in the blaze ice domain. Instead, it only appears at specific times, and the exact time is completely uncertain.
Cao Bing only knows that he appeared in the Flame Ice Field in the original work, but he is not sure of the specific time.
Moreover, Cao Bing remembers that the appearance of this Tomb Lingzhou seems to be manipulated by someone behind the scenes, although the target of that person behind the scenes is not the human race.
The second is that there can only be one inheritor of this tomb-robbing boat, and other people who enter the tomb-robbing boat, except for the first level being safe, will have no way out unless they can successfully accept the inheritance.
Even if they have alternate selves, they cannot escape the fate of being eradicated, there is no doubt about that. After all, it is an ancient and terrifying existence, which is beyond the resistance of us small beings, even in death.
This has been proven in the original work, even the strongest in the universe cannot escape the cost of downfall!
Of course, the last point is that the "Flame Ice Territory" is a famous place of opportunity within the universe ship. There are quite a few strong ones waiting here for a chance. Once the "Tomb Ling Ship" appears, it will definitely cause a huge stir throughout the universe sea.
Whether the Cao army goes to "Yanbingyu" to wait in advance or not, it doesn't make a difference.
So "Yanbingyu" is not the best choice for the Cao army at the moment.
Therefore, Cao army's specific target is only the last one, and also the most ordinary one among the three, which is the "Black Vein Stone Pillar" in the Cosmos Ship.
The original name of the Black Vein Stone Pillar is not clear, but as it was discovered, it has become its name through explorations of various civilizations.
The Black Vein Stone Pillar Space is one of the few areas in the entire universe boat domain that is free from danger. Of course, the danger of powerful beings fighting each other is not included. Where there are strong beings, there may be enmity, and where there is enmity, there may be fighting. The entire space is supported by 16 stone pillars of black vein that are thousands of light-years high. Apart from the area near the black vein stone pillars where the space condenses and teleportation is impossible, the rest of the space can be teleported.
And the black marble pillars are natural relics! These 16 pillars, each over a thousand light-years tall, bear incredibly profound black secret patterns that even the strongest beings in the universe cannot comprehend. Each black marble pillar possesses immense power, surpassing even the most incredible treasures. Just their length alone, spanning over a thousand light-years, is awe-inspiring.
And so far, no one strong enough has been able to touch the Black Mink Stone Pillar with their own hands, because the closer they get to the "Black Mink Stone Pillar," the more terrifying the impact on their will becomes, even the strongest in the universe can't make it to the front of the Black Mink Stone Pillar.
Moreover, the closer you are to the granite pillar, the faster time flows! Spending tens of thousands of years around that granite pillar may only pass one year in the outside world.
Therefore, for the powerful adventurers roaming the cosmic sea, this space around the granite pillar is not only a safe resting area within the cosmic vessel, but also a good place to temper their will and cultivate the laws of time.
Of course, although this black mottled stone pillar is able to temper the willpower of the strong, its effectiveness for other universe masters or the strongest in the universe is just average.
However, for Cao Bing, it is indeed far from being the case.
After all, other strong individuals in the universe do not have the Sword Heart or the secret method of cultivating willpower through a system. They can only rely on their own exploration and methods.
In addition, while other strong individuals do value their own willpower, to be honest, they do not value it as much. For those strong individuals, strength and treasures are still more important.
Although willpower is essential, it cannot be converted into combat power.
But this is completely different for Cao's soldiers.
Cao's soldiers have a fighting spirit within them, and willpower is their combat power, their strength!
The stronger one's willpower is, the more terrifying their strength is, especially when their blade heart erupts completely, they can fight against opponents of higher levels.
Moreover, Cao Bing's cultivation of the blade heart is much faster than others who solely rely on the impact of the will of the black vein stone pillar to cultivate.
That is simply night and day!
While the "Black Veined Stone Pillar" may be nothing special to others, for the Cao soldiers, it is an unparalleled place for cultivation.
Far more important than a dozen peak treasures!
