As the Universe Turns - Chapter 364
Chapter 364 Map
Alliance Master Dongli had never met such a troublesome person before, but at this moment, he was also concerned about the life and death of the Myriad Butterfly Valley Master and didn’t dare to act rashly. He knew that since this young man in front of him had the guts to break into all the sects of his Life and Death Alliance, and dared to come to the Ancient Planet Road alone today, he definitely wasn’t an ordinary person.
“Fellow Daoist, can we discuss this?”
This time, he even changed his address. Xiao Chen glanced at him and said, “Do you think there is room for negotiation by letting thousands of people set up restrictions here?”
“You …”
Alliance Master Dongli was stunned by his words, but Xiao Chen wasn’t wrong. If he hadn’t kidnapped the Myriad Butterflies Valley Master now, what would the Life and Death Alliance have discussed with him?
“Alright …”
Alliance Leader Dongli nodded and said, “I’ll have someone remove the restriction formation. How about you immediately release the Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley Master?”
“I told you, as long as Xiao Chen leaves safely, the Myriad Butterflies Valley Master will return safely without missing a hair,” said I am coolly.
“You!”
Alliance Leader Dongli’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and his voice became somewhat low. “Fellow Daoist, don’t push your luck. You broke into many sects of our Life and Death Alliance and killed many people of our Life and Death Alliance. I no longer care about this matter with you …”
“If I don’t kill them, they will kill me. Don’t tell me that the Alliance Leader didn’t give the order to capture I am, regardless of whether he lives or dies?”
“You …”
Alliance Leader Dongli was once again stunned by his words. At this time, Luo Die finally said, “Alliance Leader, you and the elders can go back. I will be fine …”
“Luo Die …”
Alliance Master Dongli clenched his fingers tightly and glared fiercely at Xiao Chen, “Kid, listen carefully. I don’t care what your background is. If the Myriad Butterfly Valley Master is injured in the slightest, even if I chase you into the Heaven Ranked Domain, I will teach you how to ambush and kill you with my sword!”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything. The East Li Alliance Master glanced back. Several elders immediately ordered people to remove the formation. The restrictions that had originally enveloped both sides of the canyon gradually dissipated.
The members of the Life and Death Alliance watched as he and the Myriad Butterfly Valley Master disappeared into the valley. He was probably the first person to be able to leave so safely from the thousands of members of the Life and Death Alliance.
Dongli Alliance Leader’s gaze was extremely cold. He flicked his sleeve and said in a deep voice, “Go and investigate for me. No matter what, you must find out the origin of this person!”
The disciples behind him didn’t dare to speak. After a while, Elder Zhu Que walked up with some hesitation and whispered a few words into his ear. He didn’t know what Elder Zhu Que had said, but his expression changed slightly.
…
After Xiao Chen and Myriad Butterflies Valley’s Valley Master entered the ancient plank path, they encountered strange weather along the way. Sometimes it was dark and cloudy, and drizzling rain fell. Sometimes it was sullen and thunderous, and sometimes it was bright and bright. In short, the deeper they walked, the more strange the weather became.
Even though Xiao Chen’s cultivation was extraordinary and the members of the Life and Death Alliance hadn’t caught up to him, he still didn’t dare to let down his guard. Luo Die followed behind without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking.
At night, the two of them traveled an unknown distance. A bright moon gradually rose in the sky, illuminating the canyon. One flower, one grass, one tree, and one stone could be clearly seen.
“At night … don’t rush.”
Luo Die suddenly stopped. Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her strangely. Seeing that he was looking at him so strangely, Luo Die tilted her head and whispered, “There are many ghost legends in the Ancient Planet Dao. If you encounter an ancient battle soul, you might be in danger.”
“You seem to be quite familiar with this place.” Xiao Chen looked at her and said quietly.
Luo Die raised her head and looked at him. She didn’t know why he asked this, but she didn’t say anything else. She found an open cliff cave on the cliff and planned to rest for the night.
Xiao Chen leapt up and flew to the cliff cave. He ignored her. He took out the maps he had stolen from the Life and Death Alliance and arranged them one by one. He cut off the rest of the maps. In the end, he used magic to shrink the maps a few times so that it would be convenient for him to stitch them together.
Just like that, in the middle of the night, the moon was as bright as day outside. Xiao Chen finally managed to put together more than a hundred maps. However, even if he put together more than a hundred maps, the map was only a map of the Earth-level Cultivation Domain. At most, there was an ancient plank road and a part of the Heaven-level Domain.
To him, such a map was useless. However, the true secrets hidden within these hundred-odd maps of the Life and Death Alliance were definitely not the same as they appeared on the surface. Rather, as long as they were arranged in a specific order, the mountains and rivers on the map would shift and become the territory of the Heavenly Realm.
However, Xiao Chen did not know the hidden arrangement. Even the leaders of the Life and Death Alliance were unable to arrange themselves. Therefore, he could only try again and again. Every time he finished splicing, he would mark the place on the map that was suspected to be Yang Valley with his divine sense. In these hundred maps, he needed to try at least ten thousand different arrays in order to find the correct one.
Three days passed like this. During these three days, Xiao Chen brought Luo Die along the ancient plank path during the day, and at night, he pieced together the map alone. It was until the next morning that he did not set his eyes for a moment, nor did he close his eyes once.
That night, it was still late at night. Outside, the bright moon was still in the sky. Xiao Chen was still piecing together the map. Luo Die looked at him from afar. Now, she seemed to have finally relaxed. The man in front of her seemed to be only interested in the maps in his hand. He didn’t care about anything else, including her.
She couldn’t help but feel a little curious. With this person’s ability, not to mention the four ancient kingdoms in the Heaven Realm, even if it was the Immortal Alliance, there were many people who had recruited him. Yet, he had spent all his effort to find these maps. Where exactly was he looking for?
Until the second half of the night, the moon gradually sank. Luo Die felt a little tired. She yawned and asked, “Aren’t you going to rest?”
Xiao Chen acted as if he hadn’t heard her words. He was still arranging and splicing these maps repeatedly. Seeing that he didn’t care about him, Luo Die finally stood up from under the stone wall and looked at the maps. She said, “Don’t waste your effort, you can’t find the correct method. You simply can’t splice the map of the Heaven Rank Cultivation Domain. Do you know how big the entire Heaven Rank Cultivation Domain is?”
Xiao Chen still ignored her. Luo Die walked closer and said, “There are four ancient kingdoms in the Heaven Ranked Cultivation Domain. However, for the entire Heaven Ranked Cultivation Domain, these four ancient kingdoms occupy only one-hundredth of the territory. The Eastern Continent is vast and boundless. No one has ever walked past them.”
“Hey, I’m talking to you.”
Luo Die saw that he ignored her and walked closer. Of course, she knew in her heart that this map of the Life and Death Alliance had come from somewhere back then. It was divided into more than a hundred pieces. If it was arranged in a specific order, it could indeed become a map of the Heaven Grade Cultivation Domain. However, this arrangement method was unknown to even the four alliance masters of the Life and Death Alliance.
After a while, Xiao Chen finally raised his head. Because he hadn’t slept for a long time, his eyes were already bloodshot.
Luo Die couldn’t help but be shocked. At this moment, she wasn’t concerned about him. Instead, the dangers along the way were unknown. If anything unexpected happened to Xiao Chen, she would also encounter dangers.
“You … Where exactly are you looking for?”
At this moment, Luo Die’s heart was finally certain that he must be looking for a place, and it must be an extremely difficult place to find.
“It’s none of your business.”
This was the only thing that Xiao Chen had said to her after three days. After saying this, he lowered his head and tidied up the map. This continued until dawn.
