Chapter 146: Void Map, Void Spirit Hall
A few days later, less than a hundred miles away from the Sole Sword Sect, in a jungle.
Over a hundred male and female cultivators with varying degrees of injuries were heading towards the Sole Sword Sect.
As they walked, one person suddenly stopped, with a worried expression on their face. "Patriarch, our Liu Family on the Hanging Willow Mountain has been breached by the Sole Sword Sect. Now, do we really have to go to the Sole Sword Sect and hand over our Liu Family's treasure to them?"
The Patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Ye, shook his head. "Not to the Sole Sword Sect, but to that Lord Su Zhan! In these past few days, the Sole Sword Sect has abolished the seasonal tribute' and even started to return the resources they had previously taken from others. They have also imposed restrictions on their disciples and established ten major prohibitions. The common people and cultivators within a thousand miles have been informed that all these changes were brought about by Lord Su Zhan."
"I, Liu Ye, believe that someone like him won't be unjust and won't withhold even our family's possessions from us!"
After a pause, Liu Ye continued, "Moreover, this Void Map is of no use to us. The Void Spirit Hall is extremely dangerous, and our Liu Family's ancestors once went there. They not only gained no benefits but almost died inside. Since that's the case, we might as well offer it to Lord Su Zhan and have him return the Hanging Willow Mountain to us! Then we can make a contract that prohibits any future attacks on our Hanging Willow Mountain. This way, we can reclaim our homeland!"
"But I'm still a bit worried. According to rumors, Lord Su's temperament is extremely violent. He wiped out almost all the Golden Robe Elders of the Sole Sword Sect with a single word, leaving only Nie Yuan alive. Such a person"
"Those people deserve to die!"
Fury flashed in Liu Ye's eyes. "Chen Ye is such a greedy person. Who knows how he provoked Lord Su?! We've already agreed to hand over the Void Map to him, and all he needs to do is swear in the name of our ancestors. Yet he refuses to do so. You can imagine that those people are not just after the Void Map; they want to annex the entire spiritual vein territory of our Hanging Willow Mountain! Shouldn't they die?"
"Patriarch"
"No need to say more, my mind is made up!"
Liu Ye gave a bitter smile. "Our Liu Family had over a thousand members, and now there are only a few left. I can't escape the blame for this. Later, I'll go alone to negotiate with Lord Su Zhan. If I can't return within three days, all of you should escape! The farther, the better. A peaceful life is all that matters."
"Patriarch!"
The members of the Liu Family all kneeled down.
However, Liu Ye didn't turn back; instead, he suddenly accelerated, no longer concealing his presence as he headed towards the Sole Sword Sect.
On the main peak square of the Sole Sword Sect.
After three days of hard work, Su Zhan cultivated Celestial Dragon Sword Technique to small achievement. In addition, he spent another day to reach small achievement in the Thunderlight Escape technique. The reason for such a difference was that the Celestial Dragon Sword Technique was nearly as powerful as a saint-grade sword art, while the Thunder Flash was only a mid-level earth grade technique. Naturally, there was no comparison between the two.
At this moment, on the square.
Flashes of thunder flickered. Su Zhan's figure moved rapidly amidst the thunder flashes.
With the assistance of the Wind God Boots on his feet, even when he was in the sky, he could perform this technique with great agility.
"Lord Su, the Liu Family Patriarch of the Hanging Willow Mountain requests an audience with you!" Just then, Nie Yuan knelt on one knee at the edge of the main peak square, respectfully reporting.
As the thunderlight dissipated, Su Zhan landed on the ground and looked surprised. "The Liu Family of the Hanging Willow Mountain? Why are they looking for me? I don't know them."
"He came to present treasures. If Lord Su Zhan doesn't want to see him"
"Let him come." Su Zhan interrupted.
Although he didn't know the Patriarch of the Liu Family, if they were bringing treasures, he was willing to meet them and get to know them. After all, with both his sword art and Thunderlight Escape technique reached small achievement, he had more time now.
"Yes!" Nie Yuan was about to leave but suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Lord Su Zhan, there's a girl named Zhang Ling who has been coming every day these past few days, saying she wants to thank you in person. She came earlier as well. Should I tell her to come back tomorrow"
"No need to wait until tomorrow." Su Zhan remembered the cute little girl and smiled. "Bring her back now; let's meet her today."
"Yes, Lord Su!" Nie Yuan respectfully retreated.
Soon, Liu Ye arrived at the square and looked at Su Zhan, feeling somewhat hesitant. "You Are you the Lord Su Zhan?"
"It's me." Su Zhan nodded.
"Liu Ye, the Patriarch of the Liu Family, pays his respects to Lord Su Zhan!" Liu Ye was a bit surprised. Su Zhan was even younger than he had expected, looking only about sixteen or seventeen, even younger than his son. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that such a young person possessed the terrifying power to subvert the entire Sole Sword Sect.
With a heart full of shock, Liu Ye didn't waste any time on pleasantries and went straight to the point. "Lord Su, now that the Sole Sword Sect obeys your orders, I'll be frank. I am willing to trade the Void Map to regain our Liu Family's territory on the Hanging Willow Mountain. In return, the Sole Sword Sect shall never invade the Hanging Willow Mountain again!"
Su Zhan was taken aback. "What Void Map? Explain it in detail."
"Of course, Lord Su!"
Liu Ye thought for a moment and said, "The Void Map is the most treasured possession of Hanging Willow Mountain. It records the location information of the Void Spirit Hall, which appears only once every hundred years. Moreover, the Void Map itself serves as the key to enter the Void Spirit Hall!"
"Chen Ye sent people to attack Hanging Willow Mountain partly because of this treasure. Now that Hanging Willow Mountain has been breached, and our people are scattered and displaced, I am willing to use this treasure to allow our people to return to Hanging Willow Mountain and live in peace."
"What benefits can be obtained from the Void Spirit Hall?"
"In the Void Spirit Hall, there are Saint Pills, Saint Artifacts, and other exotic treasures. In short, there are numerous treasures, but of course, there are also certain dangers. Whether Lord Su Zhan wants to go or not, it's up to you to decide. I just want to use this opportunity to secure a place for my Liu Family!" Liu Ye's expression was sincere, and he looked hopeful.
"Alright, I will tell Nie Yuan to follow your instructions. Also, since your Liu Family is in such a sorry state, let Nie Yuan take you to the treasure repository and compensate you with some items!"
"Thank you, Lord Su Zhan!" Liu Ye's face lit up with joy as he respectfully expressed his gratitude.
Then, he took out a piece of cloth-like map about ten centimeters long and wide from his storage ring and held it with both hands. "Lord Su Zhan, this is our Liu Family's most treasured item, the Void Map. You only need to read it like you would read a martial art manual or jade slip to access the information inside the Void Map!"
"The Void Map itself only contains location information, and the rest of the details were collected by our Liu Family over the years and inscribed into the Void Map. It may not be entirely accurate."
"Understood." Su Zhan reached out and took the Void Map into his hand.
Infusing True Qi, a stream of light appeared on the surface of the Void Map, and tiny characters floated in front of him. As his gaze swept over the text, Su Zhan began to understand more about the Void Spirit Hall.
The Void Spirit Hall was a separate dimensional space similar to the Dark Star Forest. However, the Void Spirit Hall only appeared once every hundred years, and not everyone could enter it. To enter, one must hold the Void Map and have cultivation below the Saint level. Otherwise, it could cause a spatial collapse, resulting in the closure of the Void Spirit Hall and preventing entry until the next hundred years.
Inside the Void Spirit Hall, there were numerous treasures, and some people even had the chance to achieve a Divine Body!
As Su Zhan skimmed through the text, his eyes lit up.
Achieve a Divine Body?
The Great Sun Divine Body, the Sun and Star Divine Body, and the Dragon Meridian Body, which was not inferior to a Divine Body. If he added another Divine Body, wouldn't that mean he had four Divine Bodies merged into one?
A single Divine Body had already made his talent and strength far surpass that of other martial artists at the same level. If he had four Divine Bodies this was getting a bit outrageous!
