Every single one of the Ten Kings of the Qingtian Lineage had reached Saint 4-dan, granting them the strength to stand at the pinnacle of the Qingyuan Empire. Any one of them was more than capable of wreaking havoc in Hongyuan or even Qingyuan Conferred Empire.
They had thought that as long as they made a move, the ancient domain would be a piece of cake. Even the Qingyuan Conferred Empire would suffer heavy losses, and countless master teachers would perish …
Yet … the Eight Kings had been dispatched, and before they could even cause a ripple, all of them had been wiped out. They had thought that it was the experts of the Mingshi Tang Empire or the Combat Master Hall, so they had no chance of escaping at all … Who could have thought that they would be killed by a mere Nascent Saint cultivator?
The more they thought about it, the more frustrated they felt.
It was fortunate that the Qingtian Emperor was unaware of this matter. Otherwise, would he have fainted on the spot?
What kind of grudge did he have with the Qingtian Emperor?
Why did he have to deal with the Ten Kings?
I don't want to look for the ancient domain anymore. I want to go home …
The Crimson King felt deeply stifled, but there was no time for him to wallow in his depression.
He was the one who had set up most of the formation, and it had reached grade-7 pinnacle. No matter how many means he had up his sleeves, there was nothing he could do about the formation at the moment.
Barely after dodging a few attacks and finding a way to escape from the formation, the young man's voice suddenly sounded from above.
"President Han, activate the formation and kill that fellow as soon as possible …"
As soon as those words were spoken, the formation seemed to have received an even greater boost in strength, and its prowess surged once more.
"You …"
The Scarletleaf King's face turned ghastly pale.
Even though he was the one who had set up the formation, he had no idea what it was. It would take at least an hour for him to figure out what kind of formation it was and find the Life Gate.
The other party was only a Nascent Saint cultivator, so it was extremely strenuous for him to drive the formation. Even if he were to sustain some injuries, he would still be able to hold on. However, if the one driving the formation was Han Xu, he would really be unable to hold on for much longer.
That fellow was a Saint 4-dan pinnacle cultivator and the head of the Formation Master Guild, so he had a deep understanding of formations. With him driving the formation, it would be even more powerful. It seemed like it was impossible for him to escape now!
While the Scarletleaf King was in despair, above the formation, President Han and the others' eyes glowed in agitation.
Hearing the shout, they rushed out of their hiding, only the Scarletleaf King's residence, and they realized that the Scarletleaf King's residence.
There was no need to make any unnecessary movements. As long as the killing formation was activated, it would definitely be able to kill him alive.
"Zhang Shi … If I'm not mistaken, this array formation should be at the peak of the seventh level, right? This is … your doing? "
While operating the array, President Han couldn't help but look over.
They had hidden themselves earlier, so they had no idea how Zhang Xuan had dealt with the Scarletleaf King.
This Slaughter Formation had already reached grade-7 pinnacle. Even he would have to spend a great deal of time and effort to set it up. Given that Zhang Shi was only at Nascent Saint, how could he possibly complete it so quickly?
"I wasn't the one who set it up. It was the Scarletleaf King …" Zhang Xuan shook his head, not daring to claim credit for himself.
"Scarletleaf King?" Everyone was dumbstruck.
To set up a formation to trap him within … Was there something wrong with that fellow?
"Perhaps he's thinking too much and wants to commit suicide … You should know that the brains of the Otherworldly Demons aren't that good …" Zhang Xuan shook his head with a smile.
He couldn't reveal too much about how he had duped the Scarletleaf King. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain his disguise as the Violetleaf King …
After instructing President Han and Wu Shi to work together to drive the formation to slay the Scarletleaf King, Zhang Xuan walked behind the crowd and found a spot to sit down cross-legged. He immersed his consciousness into the Library of Heaven's Path, studying the introduction to the ancient domain that he had obtained from the Scarletleaf King.
The entire book was written in the language of the ancient gods that the other party had mentioned, so he couldn't recognize a single word of it. However, he could vaguely see that there were many words that were very similar to those on Wu Yangzi's map.
Flicking his wrist, he took out an object.
It was an ancient sheepskin. It was hard to tell how many years it had been there, but it was densely filled with bizarre words to mark out a map.
"The terrain on the map doesn't seem to resemble this place at all …"
Lowering his head to take a look, Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Even though he couldn't recognize the words inscribed on the sheepskin, he was still able to see the terrain clearly … It didn't seem to resemble this place at all.
It was for this reason that he didn't think that the map would be related to this ancient domain.
A thought suddenly surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind as he thought, This map should be several dozen thousand years old … Could it be that the terrain has changed over the course of time, resulting in a completely different terrain?
Landforms and landforms weren't static. Rather, they would change with the passage of time. Could it be that the terrain had changed due to the passage of time, resulting in the map being completely different from this place?
"That's not right … This is a folded space, so there's no movement of the earth's crust or the invasion of water. How could there be such a change?"
However, Zhang Xuan shook his head shortly after thinking about it.
Unlike the outside world, folded spaces didn't have any natural changes. Furthermore, there were formations all around. Even if there was a change, it couldn't possibly be so thorough.
"Hmm …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, he suddenly realized that the book in his hand bore some resemblance to the sheepskin before him.
With a flick of his finger, he placed the two items together.
Weng!
With a light buzz, the map and the introduction slowly came together. Hula! They fused together, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a brand-new map made of sheepskin.
Zhang Xuan leaped in shock. "This … is actually the same map split into two?"
It was no wonder why he couldn't understand the introduction and map. It turned out that they were just a portion of the complete map.
Zhang Xuan hurriedly picked up the fused sheepskin and lowered his head to take a closer look.
What he saw above was completely different from what he saw just now. It was a completely different scene.
"Isn't this the lava that we came from earlier? Is this the Sea of Lightning? Is this the Black Sandstorm of Oblivion? "
Unknowingly, Feng Xun had appeared behind Zhang Xuan and pointed at the map.
"Un!"
Even without Feng Xun's reminder, Zhang Xuan had already recognized it. The fused sheepskin map contained all of the details of the ancient domain, and it was so lifelike that even the scenes on the map seemed to have come to life. They moved on their own accord, as if they would jump out at any moment.
"Could this red line be … the correct path? To think that there would be such a path. Why haven't we noticed it before? "
Feng Xun exclaimed.
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over and saw a faint red line extending from the lava to the entire map.
"This red line is indeed the correct path, but without this sheepskin map, it wouldn't have appeared at all …" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
If they had this sheepskin map before entering the ancient domain, they would have been able to advance along the path indicated on the red line without any obstructions. The reason why they hadn't noticed this path wasn't because their eye of discernment was lacking, but because without the complete map, the path wouldn't have appeared at all.
Similarly, this involved the profound mysteries of space, and it wasn't something that the current Zhang Xuan could comprehend.
Following the map, Zhang Xuan soon found the location of the celestial palace.
"So, the deepest part of the ancient domain is behind this waterfall …" After confirming the direction, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up and turned to President Han and the others.
With the collaboration of President Han and Wu Shi, two Saint 4-dan experts, and the Seven Star pinnacle Slaughter Formation, as powerful as the Scarletleaf King was, he still wasn't able to hold on for much longer and was killed.
If the previous Scarletleaf King was crushed to death by Jin Yuan Ding, he would have been even more humiliated than that.
To be killed by the formation he had set up, the second strongest King of the Myriad Anthive Nest was indeed a tragic sight.
"Let's go. With the map, the rest will be safe …"
After dealing with the Scarletleaf King, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief. With a smile, Zhang Xuan raised his hand, and the sheepskin map in his hand flew into the air. In an instant, it morphed into a rainbow bridge that crossed the celestial palace and extended into the depths of the waterfall.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Xuan beckoned as he stepped onto the bridge. However, barely after taking a few steps, he suddenly recalled something and kept the formation flags of the Slaughter Formation into his storage ring. At the same time, with a light tap of his finger, the storage ring of the Scarletleaf King fell into his hand.
As the second strongest King of the Qingtian Lineage, he was bound to have plenty of good stuff in his possession.
Proceeding along the bridge, it didn't take long for them to pass through the celestial palace and enter the waterfall.
Previously, they had already noticed that the waterfall and the celestial palace were actually a massive painting that concealed a certain world. After passing through the waterfall, the scenery changed, and they found themselves in a massive palace.
"What concentrated spiritual energy here …"
As soon as they stepped into the palace, they immediately felt their pores opening up, and their zhenqi pulsated wildly.
The spiritual energy in the palace was so concentrated that it felt as if it would condense into water at any moment. If one were to cultivate here, even without using high-tier spirit stones, they would be able to advance their cultivation at a much faster rate!
"Is that … carved using a high-tier spirit stone?"
Taking a few steps forward, the crowd's breathing hastened.
Before them was a massive stone tablet that emanated a brilliant glow. It was actually carved using an entire high-tier spirit stone!
"How can there be such a massive spirit stone in the world?" Everyone gulped down a mouthful of saliva. Even Zhang Xuan's eyes widened in shock, and his eyeballs nearly fell to the ground.
The stone tablet before them was around five to six meters tall, two to three meters wide, and half a meter thick. To think that such a massive object would be carved entirely out of high-tier spirit stone … this was simply too shocking!
The largest high-tier spirit stone he had ever seen was only the size of an infant's fist, and yet, this stone tablet weighed more than a hundred tons …
If they were to divide it into pieces, how many high-tier spirit stones would there be in total?
Hundreds of thousands? Millions?
To see such a sight right after entering the depths of the ancient domain … just how many treasures were there?
"Qiu Wu Palace … Could this be an ancient domain left behind by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu?"
Taking a closer look at the words inscribed on the stone tablet, Wu Shi was astonished.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan also noticed that there were indeed three words inscribed on the stone tablet, 'Qiu Wu Palace'. The handwriting was identical to the one on the Unbounded Voyager manual.
"It seems like … this is indeed an ancient domain left behind by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu …"
Zhang Xuan turned to look at Lozosy, and the both of them nodded in agreement.
It was just a guess previously, but at this moment, he was a hundred percent certain of it.
