"As expected!"
The Demonic Emperor Old Man sat cross-legged, but a bright light flashed through his eyes. The moment Wang Chong had taken out this pearl, he had sensed that it was extraordinary, and this pearl had confirmed his conjecture.
"This is a Energy Condensation Pearl!"
The Demonic Emperor Old Man suddenly said. A few moments later, he had more or less understood the functions of this pearl.
"Several hundred years ago, there were rumors of one or two Energy Condensation Pearls like this in the martial arts world. They could help a martial artist store a portion of their Stellar Energy so that they could use them in battle."
Although the Evil Emperor usually did not reveal himself, he knew all the stories of the martial arts world like the back of his hand.
"Strictly speaking, this sort of item is no longer within the realm of martial arts, but a type of ritual tool. This sort of ritual tool can't normally appear. One has to have reached the pinnacle of strength to be able to use it. Ordinary Imperial Great Generals are far from qualified! "
"Buzz!"
Wang Chong was deeply moved by these words, and his eyes quickly focused on the blood-red pearl. This was the first time Wang Chong had ever encountered such a treasure.
"Chong-er, although this pearl can't increase your cultivation, it can store energy. For the current you, it is most useful."
The Demonic Emperor Old Man waved his hand, and the Energy Condensation Pearl shot through the air toward Wang Chong.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as the Energy Condensation Pearl was about to fly toward Wang Chong, a surge of energy suddenly shot out and intercepted the Energy Condensation Pearl.
"Brother Wenfu, look!"
The Chief Of Wushang suddenly said. But instead of taking the Energy Condensation Pearl, he lowered his head to the ground.
This sudden action left Wang Chong, the Evil Emperor, and the Formation Elder dumbfounded.
But all three of them were well aware that the Chief Of Wushang was already past his prime and was usually benevolent and amiable. He would never suddenly decide to steal the Energy Condensation Pearl. All three of them lowered their heads and followed the Chief Of Wushang's gaze to the ground.
"This is …"
With just a glance, the Formation Elder's eyes widened and he paled.
At almost the same time, the others also noticed that something was wrong with the ground. White specks of light began to twinkle on the ground.
But the red light exuded by the pearl was so intense that these white specks were impossible to notice unless one looked carefully.
These spots of light were densely packed, faintly forming a complex pattern on the ground.
"What is this?"
The Evil Emperor's brow creased, his expression completely different from before. He had originally believed that this was a rare treasure left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord that could help Wang Chong deal with his cultivation defect. But it was now apparent that the Origin Immortal Lord's treasure was far more than this.
"What a strange diagram."
The Formation Elder also frowned, a pensive look in his eyes. These strange white specks of light had completely captured his attention.
"The Origin Immortal Lord was extremely famous and respected in the martial arts world. Since he laid down the Origin Immortal Formation and placed down these Energy Condensation Pearls, he couldn't have done it for no reason. He must have some deeper meaning."
The Chief Of Wushang looked at the diagram of white specks of light on the ground and said, "The Origin Immortal Lord is extremely famous in the martial arts world.
The cross-legged Wang Chong seemed to be rather moved by these words.
"Master, that treasure map is still on you, right? Take it out and give it a try."
Wang Chong suddenly turned to his master, the Evil Emperor.
These sudden words took the three elders by surprise, but the Evil Emperor quickly raised his brow, apparently thinking of something from Wang Chong's words.
The surroundings were abnormally quiet, and the Evil Emperor quickly took out the damaged Origin Immortal Art treasure map.
This treasure map had been obtained from the Black Dragon Bandit, and it had already been damaged when it first came into his hands.
At the start, Wang Chong and his disciple had all sorts of ideas about how to use this treasure map, but the appearance of the Origin Immortal Mountain had completely destroyed their initial plans.
The incomplete treasure map became a useless piece of trash.
But the Origin Immortal Mountain in their eyes was now a damaged Origin Immortal Formation, and everything had changed.
The damaged treasure map was quickly placed under the Energy Condensation Pearl. No one knew exactly what to do, but the Formation Elder and the others understood Wang Chong's intentions.
"Let me do it!"
The Formation Elder quickly took the treasure map and began to fiddle with it. Bzzz! The white specks of light shone on the treasure map, quickly revealing the silver threads on its surface.
These silver threads had clearly been buried in the treasure map, and it was only now that they were exposed to the light of the white specks of light.
Not only that, as the Formation Elder adjusted the treasure map, more and more silver threads appeared on the map, each of them beginning to weave together into a different image.
At this moment, the treasure map was completely different in everyone's eyes.
The mood instantly turned strange. The Evil Emperor and the Chief Of Wushang were especially focused. They had studied this treasure map for a very long time, but they had never imagined that the materials used to make this treasure map would be so special.
"Brother Wenfu, it seems like this is the true secret of the treasure map. This treasure map is not incomplete, but the part we obtained was only this big in the first place. "
The Chief Of Wushang suddenly said as he looked at the silver image on the map.
"Wang Chong, kid, it seems like you've guessed correctly this time."
The Formation Elder sat cross-legged on the ground, and with a flick of his hand, he immediately placed the silver diagram on the treasure map beneath the Energy Condensation Pearl, overlapping it with the region formed by the white stars projected by the Energy Condensation Pearl.
In the next moment, rays of light burst forth. Under the gazes of the four people, rays of resplendent starlight shot out from the treasure map, interweaving into a dense mass of light spots in the air.
"This is a star map!"
Before anyone else could react, the Formation Elder's expression flickered as he gasped.
He specialized in formations, and he was particularly skilled in the transformations of the Nine Palaces, and the calculations of the Nine Palaces involved astronomical and geographical phenomena.
The Formation Elder often calculated the stars, so he was extremely familiar with them. The specks of light shooting out of the silver threads on the Origin Immortal Art treasure map were a complete mess to others, but the Formation Elder could tell at a glance that these specks of light were star maps.
"This is the Supreme Palace Enclosure of the Three Enclosures. This is the Supreme Palace Enclosure to the Left, this is the Supreme Palace Enclosure to the Right, and this is the Stars of the Southern Official Palace. It looks like a young bird, and it represents the Imperial Court and the Five Emperors. This is the Left Enforcer, and this is the Right Enforcer. They both represent the Celestial Emperor's true form …"
The Formation Elder pointed at the specks of light in the air and recited a long list of star names. The Formation Elder was extremely familiar with the constellations in the sky.
But the Evil Emperor and the Chief Of Wushang had strange expressions on their faces as they glanced at each other.
Which martial artist would study the stars? The specks of light the Formation Elder was pointing at were meaningless to them.
Only Wang Chong had a pensive look in his eyes. In the apocalyptic era, he had read many books and had some understanding of the stars, though he was not as knowledgeable as the Formation Elder.
"Brother Zhou, why don't you just tell us what this star map means?"
The Demonic Emperor said.
"Haha, it's very simple! This treasure map isn't incomplete at all, but only this big. If my guess is correct, there should be at least six pieces of the complete treasure map. As the saying went, when the six pieces were combined, the complete treasure map would be revealed. And through this star map, we can lock onto the exact location of the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury.
"Kid, you've done a great service this time. So many martial artists have rushed forward to find the secret of the Origin Immortal Art treasure map, but you've managed to dig them all out. "
The Formation Elder looked at Wang Chong and chuckled. The more he looked at this kid, the more he liked him. In terms of strength, courage, intelligence, and meticulousness, he was truly one in ten thousand in the younger generation.
"What a pity. How did that old scoundrel Zhang Wenfu manage to pick it up!"
The Formation Elder turned his head to the Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu, a strange expression on his face.
The Evil Emperor's expression was stiff and inflexible, but the Chief Of Wushang couldn't help but chuckle. He had already heard the Formation Elder grumble several times on the way here, wanting to snatch Wang Chong away from him.
"But even if we find the secret of this treasure map, it's still useless. If, as you say, we need six pieces to complete the star map and find the true location of the Origin Immortal Art's treasury, then our journey to the northwest will be for naught. "
The Evil Emperor said.
If it were just for himself, finding the Origin Immortal Art wouldn't have mattered, but Wang Chong was his' only 'disciple, his most cherished disciple. No matter what, he had to find the true Origin Immortal Art for his final disciple.
"Heh, in the past, just one piece of the treasure map would naturally be useless, but it's different now. Have you forgotten how many people were drawn to the northwest by the appearance of the Origin Immortal Formation?"
The corners of the Formation Elder's mouth perked up into a mysterious smile.
The Formation Elder's gaze swept over the trio, a profound look in his eyes.
"Senior, you! It can't be … "
Wang Chong's body trembled as a thought flitted through his mind. He immediately guessed at what the Formation Elder was up to.
This was far too bold!
The Formation Elder silently smiled.
… …
The next day, a piece of news swept through the northwest.
As it turned out, the Origin Immortal Formation was a seal left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord to protect an extremely important treasure within.
Only by obtaining this treasure would one be able to find the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury.
The second piece of news was that the Origin Immortal Lord had six pieces of the treasure map. Once all six pieces were combined and the treasure in the Origin Immortal Formation, one would be able to find the true location of the Origin Immortal Art's treasury.
And according to the dictum left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord, anyone who obtained his treasury would become the world's number one.
Even if it was a country bumpkin who obtained this treasure, he would be able to become the number one expert in the world!
