In the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, apart from the known levels of the lower realms' eight regions, those who surpassed the supreme expert realm would be called deities.
Deities were high up above, overlooking the Nine Heavens. All life looked up to them, possessing the power to overturn rivers and seas, to destroy the world.
After surpassing the supreme expert realm and igniting a divine flame, this was called the Divine Flame Realm. Meanwhile, above the Divine Flame Realm was the dao flame, using the heavens as one, the True One. That was why it was called the True Deity Realm, also known as the True One Realm.
Above the True One Realm was the Heavenly Deity Realm.
However, between the True One Realm and Heavenly Deity Realm, there was still the Holy Sacrifice Realm.
The Holy Sacrifice Realm was extremely strange, and also extremely dangerous. Once one entered, their cultivation would fluctuate between high and low. When it was high, it would be comparable to a heavenly deity, but when it was low, it would only be around the Divine Flame Realm.
However, if one truly cultivated the Holy Sacrifice Realm, there were also many benefits. It was rumored that only by truly stepping into the Holy Sacrifice Realm could one become a true king among deities, obtain eternal existence, and then step foot into the peak of the divine dao, obtaining eternal life.
However, normal people wouldn't want to enter this realm, because it was too dangerous. Every expert would definitely have powerful enemies. If they entered the Holy Sacrifice Realm, their enemies would take advantage of them, and then they would die, their dao vanishing.
The most serious thing was that if one couldn't break through the Holy Sacrifice Realm, they might very well fall back to their original realm, to the extent where they might even be inferior to the True One Realm or Divine Flame Realm.
This type of strange and dangerous realm was naturally something very few people entered. Many people directly skipped over this strange realm.
Meanwhile, according to the black giant tiger, the heavenly deity named Feng Yan who had already died and left behind the heavenly deity divine treasury was someone who had previously cultivated the Holy Sacrifice Realm. After breaking through, he became a king among deities. Even with Heavenly Deity Realm cultivation, he could still fight sect masters.
The divine treasury left behind by this type of king among deities, forget about Divine Flame and True One Realm experts, even heavenly deities, even sect master level experts would pay attention to it.
However, the divine treasury left behind by a king among deities wasn't easy to obtain. It was rumored that this heavenly deity had previously opened up a secret realm when he was alive, placing all of his divine treasury inside. If one wanted to enter, it wouldn't be that easy.
After listening to the giant black tiger's narration, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed as he looked at it indifferently and asked, "So, where is that secret realm?"
"It's said to be in the southern part of the Heartless State, but I don't know the exact location, because only by gathering the divine treasure map will we be able to find out the true location of this secret realm!" The giant black tiger's eyes flickered as he spoke.
When Ye Xuan saw the black tiger's flickering eyes, a beam of divine light shot out from his eyes. Suddenly, a terrifying pressure pressed down like an ancient demonic mountain, causing the black tiger to directly lie on the ground.
"You still dare to play tricks? Speak clearly!" Ye Xuan said coldly.
Feeling this pressure, the huge black tiger felt as if all the bones in its body were about to break. It hurriedly cried out in horror, "Great God, please spare my life, please spare my life. I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again. I was lucky enough to obtain a fragment of the divine treasure map. I'm willing to offer it to the great god!"
"Take it out and let me see. If you dare to deceive me, I will definitely behead you!" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, but his tone was still as cold as the cold wind.
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" The huge black tiger crouched on the ground and repeatedly knocked its head on the ground. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a palm-sized piece of white bone, which then flew towards Ye Xuan's direction.
Ye Xuan moved his mind and stretched out his palm. The piece of bone immediately fell into his hand.
Looking closely, this piece of bone was crystal clear like jade, white and flawless. It was only the size of a palm, but three of its sides were incomplete, as if it had been forcefully torn apart by someone.
Other than that, there were some strange patterns on the bone, which looked like the terrain of mountains and rivers. However, they were so badly damaged that it was impossible to truly see the original appearance of the divine treasure map.
Frowning, Ye Xuan glanced at the huge black tiger on the ground and said, "How many parts of this divine treasure map are there? Where are the other parts?"
"Great God, I don't know either. I only know that a few major human forces have obtained this kind of divine treasure map. There are about three copies already, which are the Heartless Pavilion, the Church of Fire, and the Sky Mist Academy." The huge black tiger crouched on the ground and said while trembling.
"The Heartless Pavilion, the Church of Fire, and the Sky Mist Academy. Aren't these the top three forces of the Heartless State?" After listening to the huge black tiger's words, Ye Xuan couldn't help but frown. He didn't think that the divine treasure of a Heavenly God would actually involve the three major forces of the Heartless State.
Actually, Ye Xuan still underestimated Feng Yan's status in the Heartless State. After all, he was a Heavenly God who had broken through the realm of Holy Sacrifice and became the king of gods. Before Feng Yan died, it was said that he could compete with experts of the Sect Master level.
Speaking of which, Feng Yan's status was at least similar to that of experts of the Sect Master level.
Not to mention, the realm of Holy Sacrifice had always been a realm that experts of the Heavenly Gods could only hope to reach. If he could break through the realm of Holy Sacrifice, who knew how many benefits it would bring to his future path of cultivation.
No one knew if Feng Yan's divine treasure contained a method to pass through the realm of Holy Sacrifice. If there was, this kind of divine treasure could be said to be a priceless treasure for a force, and it would naturally attract the attention of the major forces of the Heartless State.
"Tell me, how did you obtain this divine treasure map?" Playing with the fragment of the divine treasure map in his hand, Ye Xuan looked at the huge black tiger below him with some interest.
Since even the top three forces of the Heartless State had made a move, it didn't make sense for the huge black tiger to snatch the fragment from the tiger's mouth. Could there be another reason?
Seeing the look in Ye Xuan's eyes, the huge black tiger's eyes narrowed, and it hurriedly said, "Great God, I really obtained this fragment by accident. A while ago, I found a human in the mountains. When I went over, that human was already heavily injured and on the verge of death, so I …"
Although the huge black tiger didn't continue speaking, Ye Xuan could guess. With the black tiger's personality, it was even more impossible for it to let go of a person who was heavily injured and on the verge of death.
It was obvious that the person had already died in the mouth of the huge black tiger, and he might even have been eaten by it. The fragment in its hand should have come from this person.
However, regardless of whether the huge black tiger was telling the truth or not, Ye Xuan wouldn't really bother to find out. Whether it was true or false had nothing to do with him.
Putting away the divine treasure map, Ye Xuan looked down at the huge black tiger lying on the ground and said lightly, "I still lack a mount. You seem pretty good, what do you think?"
"What else can I do?" After hearing Ye Xuan's words, the huge black tiger rolled its eyes and wailed in its heart.
