Chapter 203: Tai Huang Inheritance, Kunlun Map

"If you have any instructions, Senior, please speak freely; this junior will certainly do their utmost!"

Ye Fan was very happy.

In his impression, Zhang Xuan was unfathomable, powerful, and terrifying.

The Demon Race's Kongque Wang and Red Dragon Daoist were already powerful enough to even kill a Supreme Elder of the Yaochi Sacred Land head-on, and they could completely suppress a Saint Master when contending with them.

But in Ye Fan's heart, Zhang Xuan, who had never made a move head-on or had any overly glorious battle records, was the most supreme figure hidden in the Darkness.

The shock Gai Jiuyou had given him at the beginning was truly too great; he had effortlessly snatched him from the Southern Region to Beiyu, and without even using a teleportation array, just a few steps of walking had achieved such an effect.

Zhang Xuan could sit and discuss the Dao with Gai Jiuyou, directly being together; at the very least, he was an existence in the same circle and on the same level, unimaginably strong and peerlessly domineering.

The last time he wanted to trade with him, the Nine Secrets were also peerlessly domineering.

He was truly unimaginably strong, unimaginably shocking.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan clearly knew that he had many treasures on him, yet he had never been tempted, nor had he used trickery or force to seize them; his impression score was already better than all the major Sacred Lands by who knows how much.

"Your cultivation is still too weak right now; you cannot help me much. I want to borrow an item you have on you."

Zhang Xuan glanced at Ye Fan. After experiencing another half year of changes, Ye Fan had already reached the limit in the Four Extremes Realm; if he had a complete cultivation method, he should even be breaking through to the Dragon Transformation Realm at this time.

However, Ye Fan was still circling around the Eastern Wasteland and had never been to the Central Plains, so he basically could not obtain the Tai Huang Scripture.

The Black Dog beside Ye Fan already had a look of vigilance on its face, quietly circling behind Zhang Xuan, seemingly sizing up where to take a bite.

But Zhang Xuan remained unmoved, merely naturally dissipating a trace of blood energy, which made the big black dog freeze on the spot, still muttering in its mouth.

"Damn it, where did this terrifying figure come from? How can Severing Dao Kings continuously emerge in this era?"

Merely by dissipating a wisp of blood energy, the Black Emperor walked to Ye Fan's side with a submissive expression, nudged Ye Fan's body, and carefully transmitted his voice: "Kid Ye, be careful, this is a big one, terrifyingly so; he's even more ruthless than the Kongque Wang and Red Dragon Daoist you saw before. You pay attention; if anything goes wrong, we'll run immediately."

Ye Fan's heart stirred, and he gently patted the Black Emperor, signaling the Black Emperor to stay calm.

"I wonder what Senior wants to borrow from this junior?"

"You entered the Wanlong Nest; I imagine you must have seen the coffin of the Ruthless Great Emperor. I want to borrow an Immortal Treasure Map that you obtained from the Ruthless Great Emperor's coffin."

Before Ye Fan could say anything, the Black Emperor was about to jump up, then was pressed down by Ye Fan with one hand.

"Of course you can. I wonder how long Senior wants to borrow it for?"

"Kid, you're crazy! In the past, you'd squeeze oil out of a stone, so why are you so generous today? That is something left behind by the Ruthless Great Emperor.

"It might involve the inheritance of the Ruthless Great Emperor, and even just in terms of its material alone, it is extraordinary; it is a top-tier item. You are just lending it to someone else so casually—who knows if he will be like me and never return it once borrowed."

The Black Emperor was anxious and didn't dare bite Zhang Xuan, so he bit Ye Fan's hand in one go.

Zhang Xuan just smiled and said: "I'll add money!"

The Black Emperor froze instantly, but his mouth still didn't stop: "Add money? How many things do you have to dare to say you'll add money? This is a treasure left behind by a Great Emperor; even the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang once obtained it and silently pondered over it, constantly checking it at night..."

"How about one of the Nine Secrets?"

The Black Emperor's whole body stiffened, and his eyes were glowing.

Drool flowed from the corners of his mouth unconsciously, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Woof! This is a supreme treasure of multiple Great Emperors, and it was once kept close to the body by the Ruthless Great Emperor; it might even contain the inheritance of the Ruthless Great Emperor."

Ye Fan couldn't bear to watch anymore, pressed the Black Emperor's head with one hand, and took the initiative to say: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Since Senior wants to use it, this junior is of course willing to give it. As for the reward, if Senior could give this junior a little bit of the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, that would be enough; the Nine Secrets need not be mentioned, that is too precious."

"Kid, your heart was blacker than mine in the past; what's wrong with you today? Have you been cursed by this guy? Or are you under a soul-bewitching spell!"

The Black Emperor was furious, his sturdy body like a calf rolling wildly, leaving several tooth marks on Ye Fan's body.

Zhang Xuan just smiled as he watched: "The Immortal Treasure Map is indeed quite precious, but it is not the map itself; its material is only similar to the materials of a Great Emperor. The key is the imprint recorded on this map.

"Exchanging it with the Nine Secrets and renting it for a period of time is still considered reasonable.

"However, it might be a slight loss for you, because for me, this is a treasure map. I can take this map and follow it to search for what I want in the outer space of the universe; it means I will take that treasure away..."

Zhang Xuan did not deliberately conceal anything in this regard; mainly because there was no need, and he disdained to conceal it.

Possessing the Immortal Treasure Map, one can take this map and follow the back portion all the way deep into Kunlun.

Then find the Immortal Cauldron and find a supreme material for forging a Great Emperor Weapon: God-Marked Purple Gold.

For Zhang Xuan, this was indeed a very precious treasure.

Ye Fan didn't know it now, but he would understand in the future.

Zhang Xuan could have concealed it, but felt there was no need. The Black Emperor, hearing Zhang Xuan say this, was already starting to drool wildly.

He even stretched out his big paws, which were larger than an ordinary person's palm, to frantically dig at Ye Fan's chest, while digging and touching, he was also drooling and shouting.

"Kid Ye, we split it fifty-fifty! If I hadn't insisted on going deep into the Wanlong Nest at that time, you definitely wouldn't have gotten it. Hurry up, you give me that map, and I'll engrave a copy for you later, guaranteeing you'll also have such a treasure map."

Ye Fan listened to what Zhang Xuan said, and his heart was moved, but he still shook his head and said: "Senior can walk in the outer space of the universe, but this junior does not have this ability. Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand. Senior has helped me before.

"Now that you need to use it, just take it. It's just that this junior has one request, and I hope Senior can agree.

"This junior's origin is not a secret among many figures; I come from the outer space of the universe and only arrived at this Life Ancient Star by chance. If Senior can walk and travel through the starry sky, if there is such a method, I hope Senior can teach me; I... I want to go home."

Zhang Xuan glanced at Ye Fan. Due to his intervention, Ye Fan's speed of improvement was extremely fast.

Having arrived in this world for only a little over a year, he was already about to reach the Dragon Transformation Realm. At this very moment, Ye Fan was not yet too anxious.

After all, he had only left his parents for a little over a year; although he missed his home and parents very much, he had not yet reached the point of madness.

"Traveling back and forth to the outer space of the universe?"

Zhang Xuan knew Ye Fan's origin clearly, but upon hearing his request, he still raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and said: "There are many ways to travel back and forth in the outer space of the universe, but if there is no correct star map, one will quickly get lost upon entering the starry sky.

"Even a Saint, without a correct map, will get lost in the boundless starry sky and then die of old age in the cold and dark void."

Seeing that Ye Fan was very disappointed, Zhang Xuan's tone changed again: "However, many ancient powerhouses have long since stepped out a path in the void. By using the Five-Colored Altar to continuously locate and determine the direction, one can naturally and continuously travel through the universe and starry sky.

"Back then, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin falling into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was the Five-Colored Altar opening the void, and then traveling through the void. If someone can repair the Five-Colored Altar in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and provide enough energy, they can still open starry sky teleportation in the void..."

Zhang Xuan briefly introduced the ways and taboos of walking in the starry sky, and Ye Fan's eyes lit up as he listened; back then, he was the one who rode the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, and it was on the Five-Colored Altar that he continuously traveled back and forth to arrive here.

"And to walk in the universe and starry sky, one normally needs to reach the level of a Saint, so that one can continuously absorb energy from the cosmic void. Those below this taboo who attempt to walk in the void are very likely to die an untimely death..."

This was said very simply: Ye Fan's current cultivation strength was too low, and he simply couldn't go.

"If you must travel through the cosmic void, you can only use the coffin and the Five-Colored Altar, such existences. As for the star map..."

Zhang Xuan paused here: "That Immortal Treasure Map you obtained from the tomb of the Ruthless Great Emperor is a map of the universe and starry sky. You can follow the map and continuously walk along that map."

As these words were spoken, not only did Ye Fan listen very attentively, but even Black Emperor stopped what he was doing, feeling exceptionally shocked.

Black Emperor had not known about this before either.

He truly looked at Zhang Xuan with new eyes, feeling that this person was extraordinary.

"However, I still stand by what I said before: with your strength, there is simply no way for you to walk among the starry skies. I have told you the method, but it is useless; let us change the terms of the exchange."

Seeing Ye Fan fall into deep thought without responding, Zhang Xuan could not help but smile and took the initiative to say: "I see that your cultivation has never had a complete inheritance, and you have always been bumping around like a headless fly. How about this: I can still give you the Soldier Secret, one of the Nine Secrets."

"At the same time, I will give you a clue to a complete Great Emperor inheritance. There is a complete and flawless Great Emperor Scripture there; if you have the heart, you can go over there and take a look."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuan informed Ye Fan of the general location and potential appearance site of the Tai Huang Scripture, the inheritance left behind by Tai Huang near the Qishi Mansion in the Central Plains.

Glancing at Ye Fan, who had not yet reacted, Zhang Xuan smiled again: "Moreover, there is a Five-Colored Altar passed down within the Qishi Mansion that can lead to the starry skies beyond the realm. If you want to learn more information in this regard, you can go to the Qishi Mansion to take a look; perhaps there will be unexpected gains."

Hearing this, Ye Fan felt he had already gained a great deal, while the big black dog beside him did not even speak; its eyes were spinning wildly, and it took out an Array Disk, gesturing constantly, intending to travel directly according to the general direction given by Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.

Then he gestured at the teleportation array related to the field.

"This is a teleportation array leading to the Western Desert."

Black Emperor scratched its head, and Ye Fan was covered in cold sweat.

He grabbed Black Emperor's neck with both hands, choking it until its eyes rolled back and its dog tongue lolled out long: "Can you be a bit more normal? Stop using this Array Disk; it has problems every single day and you never fix it."

Amidst the laughter and scolding, Ye Fan soon returned to a serious state and took out from his bosom the Immortal Treasure Map that had been inside the coffin of the Ruthless Great Emperor within the Wanlong Nest.

The pattern above it also depicted the starry sky, and one ancient star after another was marked upon it.

Zhang Xuan took a brief look and then tucked it into his pocket.

In his heart, he was actually slightly excited; this involved the Immortal Cauldron within the Kunlun mountain range on Earth, and involved the material for a Great Emperor Weapon.

He had come to Beidou for so long precisely for this thing.

Now, having spent such a long time, everything was finally in his hands. Although excited, Zhang Xuan still did not forget his previous promise.

Seeing Ye Fan's expression gradually return to normal, he calmly demonstrated the Soldier Secret to Ye Fan, while that dead dog, Black Emperor, just lingered nearby and refused to leave.

Zhang Xuan glanced at Black Emperor, and Black Emperor grinned foolishly at Zhang Xuan, its tongue lolling out long, as if it were truly a silly dog.

Zhang Xuan did not mind. Half a day later, after Ye Fan had committed all the secret techniques to memory, Zhang Xuan smiled at this man and dog.

"Then this transaction is successfully concluded. Before long, I think I will go to the Central Plains to find you both. At that time, the Immortal Treasure Map will be returned to its original owner."

Before the words had faded, Zhang Xuan disappeared from the field of vision of Ye Fan and Black Emperor in a few steps.

And it was only then that Black Emperor split its big mouth, smiling very happily.

"Hahahaha, I have also obtained the Nine Secrets. Ye kid, show me more respect in the future, or I will directly snatch your Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron and annoy you to death."

Black Emperor stood arrogantly with its paws on its hips, laughing very lewdly.

Ye Fan just watched without saying a word. Seeing that such a posture was ineffective, Black Emperor finally calmed its expression, looked in the direction where Zhang Xuan had disappeared, and let out a long sigh: "It is truly terrifying. Ye kid, when did you get to know such a person?"

Ye Fan shook his head, his expression also a bit dazed.

"Didn't I tell you before? I was being hunted down in the Southern Region when I was suddenly brought from the Southern Region to Beiyu in a few steps by someone. That person who brought me across regions was chatting happily with this one just now; they are suspected to be of the same kind."

Amidst his daze, Ye Fan also carried a hint of joy; after all, he finally knew how to travel across star domains.

In this way, there was still hope of going home, and it was a great hope.

At the same time, he was also delighted by the clue to a complete Great Emperor Scripture left behind by Zhang Xuan; he was very interested in the Central Plains.

"Truly terrifying!"

Don't look at Black Emperor as if it were dazed and unresponsive just now; only at this moment did it reveal some genuine feelings.

"Trading with the Nine Secrets without a second thought, and giving away a clue to a Great Emperor Scripture just as casually. Looking at his words, I fear he truly has a complete Great Emperor Scripture, and if one wants to obtain it, I fear it will not be too difficult."

Black Emperor was terrified, racking its brains, but it still could not find any records related to Zhang Xuan.
