Inside the palace, Ling Xian's eyes brightened as he took out the sheepskin scroll.
It was yellowed and on it were simple drawings. There were mountains, rivers, and roads. Every single one of them had a name.
It was obvious that this was a treasure map.
Instantly, Ling Xian's eyes brightened like the stars in the sky.
For one, it was because of this treasure map. For two, it was because he found the reason why the Zhang Clan was destroyed.
Even though there was no solid evidence, there was an 80% chance that it was because of this treasure map.
"Just what kind of treasure is it that the Sly Sword House went through so much trouble …"
Looking at the unfamiliar locations on the sheepskin scroll, Ling Xian was confused. Because he wasn't from this world, he didn't know where the locations were.
However, it was obvious that the treasure was not taken. At least, not by the Supreme Headmaster of the Sly Sword House. Or else the treasure map would've been destroyed and wouldn't be there.
In other words, this person worked for Ling Xian.
"Is it predestined by the heavens?"
"If I wasn't mistaken for Zhang Junyu, the Sly Sword House wouldn't have come looking for me."
"If I didn't avenge the Zhang Clan, I wouldn't have gotten this treasure map."
"After so many twists and turns, it was all mine."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. His eyes were full of anticipation.
The reason why the treasure map was so alluring wasn't just because of the treasures inside, it was also because of the unknown.
This type of unknown can make people more hopeful.
Therefore, Ling Xian decided to go treasure hunting. Of course, now wasn't the time.
He wanted to see if the Sly Sword House's treasure map could surprise him.
"First, I will learn about the locations on the map. Then, I will go treasure hunting." Ling Xian grinned. Then, he closed his eyes and waited in silence.
A day later, the middle-aged man visited and handed over the treasure map to Ling Xian.
Sadly, there were no treasures that caught his interest.
It couldn't be helped. He had traveled all over the world in recent years, and not only had he obtained brilliant achievements, his horizons had also been raised to a very high level. Ordinary treasures were utterly unable to enter his discerning eyes.
Then, Ling Xian put this matter aside and wandered around the Sly Sword House.
Of course, even though it looked like he was wandering around, he was actually asking people for locations.
There were as many as nine locations on the map. If he asked them all at once, it would attract the attention of others. Therefore, he asked them one by one and memorized all the names of the places.
Then, Ling Xian brought the beast with him and began his journey of treasure hunting.
…
The strongest person in the Black Tortoise Continent was known as the Divine Emperor, respected by all five lakes and respected by all four seas.
In the long history, there were a total of twelve God Emperors. Each of them was a great figure who could destroy the world with a flick of their fingers.
Especially the last one, he had left behind countless legends. The most famous one was that his Martial Spirit was formed after birth, and it was the most powerful Martial Emperor!
Legend has it that this person's origin is extremely mysterious. No one knows about his past. All they know is that the moment he was born, he possessed extraordinary strength and suppressed all the top Heaven's Favorites of his time.
However, he did not have a Martial Spirit. After an unknown period of time, the great Divine Emperor finally condensed his Martial Spirit.
Note that the condensation mentioned here was based on one's own strength. He wasn't like some late bloomers who couldn't escape the word "Heaven's Gift".
It would not be an exaggeration to say that in the entire history of the Black Tortoise Continent, he was the only one who had condensed a Royal Grade Martial Spirit with his own abilities!
Therefore, this legend was the most famous and drove everyone crazy.
The Martial Spirit was the most mysterious and powerful force in the Black Tortoise Continent. Everyone dreamed of it. Sadly, those who could awaken their Martial Spirit were few and far between. Most people could only look on and sigh.
However, this God Emperor had condensed a Martial Spirit with his own abilities. It was also the most powerful Royal Grade Martial Spirit. Why wouldn't everyone go crazy?
People were certain that he had mastered the method to condense a Martial Spirit. Therefore, they crazily searched for his inheritance in hopes that they could create miracles like him.
Sadly, after tens of thousands of years, his inheritance never appeared. There wasn't even the slightest bit of news.
However, the people's passion did not diminish with time. Every generation, many people would desperately search for it.
But in this generation, there was finally hope.
The Black Tortoise Continent had two famous cultivators. One was a man and the other was a woman. They were a pair of immortal lovers that everyone envied. However, due to their unyielding personalities, they separated. However, they loved each other deeply. It was just that their personalities were incompatible and they could not be together.
The man was known to know the Heaven and Earth with One Thought, while the woman was known to calculate the Heaven and Earth with her fingers. When the two of them teamed up, they knew everything and were omniscient.
Sadly, the lifespan of those who reveal Heaven's secrets is very short.
Three days ago, the woman knew that her life was about to end. Therefore, she made a crazy decision to calculate the God Emperor's inheritance.
Remember that the God Emperor was someone who stood at the peak of the Ascendant Realm. Forget calculating the inheritance, even the slightest connection with the God Emperor would result in a terrifying backlash. Since the beginning of time, countless cultivators have tried to calculate the God Emperor's inheritance, but they all failed. Nobody has ever succeeded.
Without exaggerating, this decision was no different than seeking death. Therefore, the man didn't agree.
However, the woman had made up her mind. Since she was about to die, she might as well fight for her life and fulfill her life's wish.
The man expressed his understanding towards this. Therefore, he didn't try to convince the woman. Instead, he chose to calculate with her.
In other words, she chose to die with him.
The God Emperor was far too terrifying. Calculating anything related to him was the same as seeking death.
However, the two of them had no regrets.
They calculated together, fought against the Heavenly Dao, fought against the God Emperor, and finally, they successfully calculated the location of the inheritance and told the world about it.
At the same time, the two of them lost their souls and completely died.
However, they died with satisfaction. Because they achieved something nobody has achieved since the beginning of time.
This alone was enough for the two of them to be recorded in history and be on par with the God Emperor!
Then, the entire Black Tortoise Continent boiled. Everyone fell into a state of insanity like never before.
It was the God Emperor's inheritance!
Ignoring the fact that it was a technique to condense a martial spirit, its value was immeasurable. Whoever obtains it can become the next God Emperor!
Therefore, who wouldn't be tempted?
Everyone went crazy. Even the old monsters who had been living in seclusion jumped out one after another and rushed to the land of inheritance.
At once, the Black Tortoise Continent was boiling and a storm was brewing!
…..
Ling Xian also heard the news about the inheritance and was tempted. Especially after he learned about the legend of the God Emperor, he was even more tempted.
Don't forget, he had wanted to condense a martial spirit a long time ago, but he was helpless. Now that he heard that the God Emperor had condensed a martial spirit and learned about the inheritance, why wouldn't his heart be heated?
Heated was no longer enough to describe it. It was more accurate to describe it as excitement.
Ling Xian moved forward at full speed. He planned on retrieving the treasures from the hidden place and then heading towards the inheritance.
However, after he followed the guidance of the sheepskin scroll and arrived at the hidden place, the heat in his heart turned into anger.
Because this place was where the God Emperor's inheritance was located!
