Chapter 1066: Fusing the Maps
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
The Ten Great Kings of the Qingtian Lineage had all reached Saint 4-dan at the very minimum, and they were existences who could individually cause a great calamity anywhere, even in Qingyuan Conferred Empire .
With the Ten Great Kings moving in this operation, he had thought that they would be able to snitch the ancient domain easily and inflict great damage upon Qingyuan Conferred Empire while they were at it .
Yet, eight of the Kings had died before they could even cause the slightest stir . They thought that the Master Teacher Pavilion or Combat Master Hall might have caught wind of their movements and dispatched experts to eliminate them, thus resulting in their deaths . But who knew that they were killed by a mere Nascent Saint master teacher?
The more the Scarletleaf King thought about the matter, the more stifled he felt .
It is fortunate that the Qingtian Emperor was unaware of this matter! If he were to learn of it, would he faint from anger on the spot?
Just what kind of grudge did the other party have against them, to be hunting down their Ten Great Kings one after another?
I don't want to explore the ancient domain anymore . I want to go home…
The Scarletleaf King felt deeply dismayed, but the situation did not allow him any time to wallow in his emotions .
He was the one who had set up a huge portion of the grade-7 pinnacle formation, so he fully understood the might that it wielded . Even with the means that he possessed, he knew that he would not last for long against the might of the formation . He had to escape as soon as he could .
At that moment, however, the voice of the young man sounded from above . "Guild Leader Han, come over here and control the formation . Kill that fellow as fast as possible…"
Right after those words sounded, the might of the formation suddenly intensified, as if it was driven by some greater power .
"You…" The face of the Scarletleaf King paled .
While he was the one who had set up the formation, he was not too familiar with its entire layout and its various transformations . It would take at least an hour before he could find the Life Gate and escape .
As the other party was only at Nascent Saint, it would have been extremely strenuous for him to drive a grade-7 pinnacle formation . Given so, the Scarletleaf King would still have been able to cope for the time being . However, if it was Guild Leader Han who was driving the formation, he might really just meet his end there!
On top of being a Saint 4-dan pinnacle expert, that fellow was the head of a Formation Master Guild, a true expert of formations! With the formation being controlled by such a skilled and powerful individual, his chances of escaping were as good as null!
While the Scarletleaf King was despairing, outside the formation, the eyes of Guild Leader Han and the others were gleaming in excitement .
When they heard Zhang Xuan's shout, they immediately leaped out of their hiding spots and dashed toward the waterfall . As soon as they arrived, they found the Scarletleaf King trapped within an extremely powerful Slaughter Formation!
With the sheer might of the Slaughter Formation, they could easily kill the Scarletleaf King as long as they were to control properly .
While driving the formation, Guild Leader Han couldn't help but turn to Zhang Xuan and ask, "Principal Zhang, if I am not mistaken, this formation should be at grade-7 pinnacle, right? Were… were you the one who set it up?"
Out of fear that they would be noticed by the Scarletleaf King, they had chosen to hide quite a distance away, so they were unaware of how Zhang Xuan had managed to deal with the Scarletleaf King .
The Slaughter Formation before him could be considered one of the stronger ones even among the grade-7 formations, and even with his proficiency of formations, it would have taken him an extremely long time to set up it perfectly . Principal Zhang was only a Nascent Saint, so how could he have done it so quickly?
The humble Zhang Xuan shook his head, not taking credit for what he had not done . "I wasn't the one who set the formation up . The Scarletleaf King was the one who did it…"
"The Scarletleaf King?"
The crowd was dumbfounded .
To set up a formation just to trap himself in… Was that fellow sick in the mind?
"Perhaps he might have grown tired of the vicissitudes of life, so he wanted to seek an end… Who knows what could be going through the minds of those Otherworldly Demons?" Zhang Xuan shrugged nonchalantly .
He could not talk too much about how he had managed to trick the Scarletleaf King as it would be difficult to explain how he had managed to disguise as the Violetleaf King .
Leaving Guild Leader Han and Wu shi to drive the formation, Zhang Xuan retreated to the back of the crowd to find a remote place to sit down . After which, he immersed his consciousness into the Library of Heaven's Path to carefully examine the booklet containing an introduction of the ancient domain, which he had just obtained from the Scarletleaf King's hands .
The booklet was also written in the language of the ancient gods, as the Scarletleaf King had claimed, so he could not understand a single character . However, he could roughly tell that there were quite a few words that were similar to the one written on Wu Yangzi's map .
Flicking his wrist, an ancient sheet of goatskin appeared in his hands . On it was a map that was labelled with all kinds of bizarre words .
Studying the map carefully, Zhang Xuan frowned in bewilderment . There is nothing similar between what is depicted on the map and the geographical terrain of the ancient domain .
While he could not recognize the words written on the goatskin, he could still interpret the geographical terrain on it… but there was not the slightest semblance to the ancient domain they were in!
It was also for this reason that he did not think that there was a connection between the map and the ancient domain .
The map should be several dozen millenniums old by now . Could it be that the world has changed since the crafting of the map, resulting in its geography changing entirely? Zhang Xuan hypothesized .
Continents and oceans persisted through the ages, but they were not unchanging . They would gradually be reshaped with the passing of time or a major natural disaster . Could that have happened to the ancient domain as well?
That thought did not persist for too long before Zhang Xuan shook his head . That isn't right . We are in a folded space, and there are no tectonic plates or natural disasters that could cause such a significant reshaping of the geographical terrain .
Different from the external world, folded spaces were unaffected by the changes of nature . Furthermore, the ancient domain mainly consisted of formations, so even if there were changes over time, it couldn't possibly have been so thorough such that there wasn't the slightest resemblance .
"Hmm…" Frowning deeply, Zhang Xuan continued staring deeply into the goatskin and the booklet, and all of a sudden, he seemed to notice that there was something very similar about the two .
