"I see…" Hearing that explanation, Zhang Xuan came to a realization .
No wonder!
He had been wondering why the Skyleaf King would choose to send his severed Primordial Spirit after them when it would have been safer for him to do it personally, especially for something as important as the map . It turned out that it was not that he did not want to do so, but he could not! Trapped in the depths of the ancient domain, he had no choice but to leave this job to his severed Primordial Spirit .
A thought came to Zhang Xuan's mind . Having reached the Leaving Aperture realm, the Skyleaf King's Primordial Spirit is capable for existing for extended periods of time outside of his body . However, that is not the case for the severed Primordial Spirit . Inevitably, it is weaker and unstabler than a complete Primordial Spirit, so it is incapable of surviving independently for too long a period of time . Perhaps, the severed Primordial Spirit was hiding in the Earthleaf King's body back then .
It was possible for the Primordial Spirits of Leaving Aperture realm cultivators to survive independently, but the same could not be said for severed ones .
Most likely, the Skyleaf King had sneaked into Jingyuan City while possessing the Earthleaf King .
Later on, when the severed Primordial Spirit realized that what he had received was only an introduction and not the full map, he decided to possess Jiang Yuan's body and infiltrate the expedition team . He deeply believed that the map was within the expedition team, and he was hoping to steal the map once it appeared .
If not for that reason, the severed Primordial Spirit would have probably killed them long ago when it had the chance to do so .
After finishing his story, the Scarletleaf King looked at the contemplating Violetleaf King and asked, "So, where is the map?"
"According to what I know, it seems like the map is in the hands of that fellow who goes by the name of Zhang Xuan!" replied Zhang Xuan .
"Zhang Xuan?" The Scarletleaf King shook his head . "The Skyleaf King has been paying close attention to him, and while that fellow has many tricks up his sleeves, it is unlikely that the map is in his hands . Otherwise, he wouldn't have been trapped in the celestial palace in the first place!"
While that Zhang Xuan had been able to lead the expedition team through trial after trial, it was mainly through his wits . It was unlikely that he had the map on his map .
Otherwise, he would have long reached the depths of the ancient domain!
Zhang Xuan shook his head and replied, "He doesn't know about the map, but the map is definitely in his hands!"
"Oh?" the Scarletleaf King frowned in incomprehension .
"That fellow managed to obtain Wu Yangzi's inheritance, and the map was within it as well . However, as he could not understand the language of the ancient gods, he was unable to make sense of it, so he was unaware of the ties between it and the ancient domain . As such, he ended up not using it at all," Zhang Xuan explained .
"This…" The Scarletleaf King was taken aback .
He had never considered such a possibility .
The Scarletleaf King pondered for a moment before asking, "Where did you obtain this information?"
"I infiltrated the ranks of the humans a while ago and headed to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy to confirm this matter . I am very certain of the intelligence I have procured!" Zhang Xuan said confidently .
"What you said isn't entirely impossible…" The eyes of the Scarletleaf King lit up . "If what you say is true, I will report your contribution to His Majesty and request that he reward you handsomely! Alright, wait here for a moment . I will rip apart the formation that fellow set up and apprehend him…"
"Wait a moment," Zhang Xuan hurriedly interjected . "Even though I am certain the map is in Zhang Xuan's hand, I cannot confirm where he placed it or whether it is with him at the moment or not . After all, he is unaware of the ties between the map and the ancient domain, so it won't be odd if he chose to leave it in his academy . "
"Hmm…" The Scarletleaf King mused over those words .
The Violetleaf King was right . If that Zhang Xuan fellow was unaware of the connection between the map and the ancient domain, given the dangers of the ancient domain, he might have chosen to leave it behind in the Master Teacher Academy so that it could be passed down to others even if something were to happen to him . If so, that would be a huge trouble .
"Why don't we do this instead? Doesn't the Skyleaf King have the introduction to the ancient domain? I think we can use it to obtain the true map," Zhang Xuan suggested .
The Scarletleaf King frowned . "Use it to obtain the true map? How?"
If there was such a convenient method, they would have long used it .
"Sage Clans possess certain means to find their lost kin through resonance in their unique bloodline . Since the introduction and the map are both written using the language of the ancient gods, I believe that it might be possible to induce a resonance between the two and find the map . It is because of this that I went to the effort of looking up and learning one such secret art back when I was at the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy . As long as I am in physical contact with the introduction, I am confident that I will be able to locate the whereabouts of the map!" Zhang Xuan replied .
"Resonance in their unique bloodline… I did hear that there was such a thing among the Sage Clans . Well, I am a little doubtful as to whether the technique can be extended toward the introduction and map, but there should be no harm giving it a go . " The Scarletleaf King frowned for a moment before eventually nodding . Flicking his wrist, he passed a jade box over and said, "Here is the introduction to the ancient domain . The Skyleaf King left it with me earlier on . "
As the Skyleaf King had chosen to possess Jiang Yuan's body, naturally, he could not have kept the introduction with him . Thus, he had chosen to entrust it to the second strongest member of the Ten Great Kings, the Scarletleaf King .
"Alright . " Taking the jade box, Zhang Xuan opened it lightly and took a look inside, and his eyes lit up .
There was an ancient book within that deeply resembled the map he had received from Wu Yangzi's inheritance . There was no doubt that they had come from the same origin .
Zhang Xuan lightly placed his finger on it, and the knowledge harnessed within it immediately surged into his mind .
It was written in the same incomprehensible language used for the map, making it nigh impossible to understand what was being written within .
I should be able to find a thing or two by examining it closely .
The introduction had quite a few flaws reflected, and by comparing the words, he would be able to understand some of the content . However, he knew that this was not the time to do so .
Casually closing the jade box, Zhang Xuan turned to the Scarletleaf King once more and said, "Actually… to use the secret art, I will have to set up a grade-7 pinnacle formation . As you know, my understanding of formations is far beneath yours, so I might require your help later on…"
"Set up a formation? Alright . " The Scarletleaf King nodded .
