Chapter 58: The Qingming Map, Where Treasures Are Hidden

  Chu Cheng slowly opened his eyes.

  Inadvertently, his soul also exchanged with the dead Qi True Dragon and returned to his own body.

  Stretch out both hands, palms up, and a stream of mysterious energy gathers above them, transforming into a one-foot-long small dragon.

  Although the sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs.

  This little dragon has a nose and eyes, scales that are not very clear, but truly exist.

  "Great comprehension, great technique! Great talent! This little dragon of yours, although it still doesn't have any attacking power, already has the majesty and willpower of a dragon clan. Although it's very weak, having is having. Many people cultivate for ten years, a hundred years, but can't compare to your one day." The Dead Qi True Dragon couldn't help but praise.

  "The great True Dragon, you have overpraised me. I feel that this divine dragon's grand dao is boundless and contains infinite mysteries, even if one were to exhaust their entire life, they would still be unable to fully comprehend it. My current understanding doesn't even amount to a billionth of a fraction." Chu Cheng smiled slightly.

  This is not modesty, but fact.

  Otherwise, how can Shenlongbian be a great divine power?

  "You're still young. One day you'll reach my level, or even surpass me and attain an even more profound realm." The Dead Qi True Dragon gazed at him with envy.

  "Maybe," Chu Cheng said lightly.

  He is never modest, but nor is he arrogant.

  He believes that with hard work, everything is possible. But he also believes that dreams are just dreams, reality is reality, and there's a limit to one's abilities and the natural order of things will eventually decline.

  Many things can be achieved if conditions are sufficient, but the conditions will not be placed in front of you.

  "Shenlong's transformation heritage, you have already obtained. The other three, however, are still receiving the heritage. Chucheng, take this opportunity, I still have some things to entrust. Among the four of you, I have the highest hopes for you. My entrustment is very important to you." The dead Qi True Dragon said in a low voice.

  "Hmm? Please enlighten me, True Dragon!" Chu Cheng's expression was solemn.

  The guidance of a powerful master like Shi Qi Zhen Long was a rare opportunity for him. If he didn't seize it firmly, Chu Cheng could die in vain.

  "I think you will be heading to the Azure Hades Ruins in the near future, won't you?" Shi Qi Zhen Long asked.

  "Yes, I'll go." Chu Cheng nodded.

  The Qingming Ruins, which open once every five years. For thousands of years, the successive generations of exceptional talents in the State of Chu, who has not entered the Qingming Ruins, and who has not gained great opportunities and benefits from it?

  "The Azure Abyss Ruins, where the Azure Blood Ancestor once resided in the Azure Abyss Palace. After the Azure Blood Ancestor's downfall, the ruins were sealed off. When the King of Chu was young, he accidentally entered the Azure Abyss Ruins and obtained countless treasures, which eventually led to the establishment of the Chu Kingdom. I too have entered the Azure Abyss Ruins. There are many good things there, you must treasure them." The Dead Qi True Dragon's face showed a hint of nostalgia.

  "I will." Chu Cheng continued nodding.

  In the remains of Qingming, there are many good things. His father, Chu Tiange, had told him about his experiences and he also has some understanding of the remains of Qingming.

  Let's not mention anything else, when Father first obtained the Jade Armor, Chu City was in an uproar and everyone wanted to take a look.

  "I saw a jade armor in your spatial jade box, that is the Heavenly Symbol Jade Armor, one of the most precious treasures of the True Symbol Dao Realm. It contains the Heavenly Symbol Scroll, one of the highest inheritances of the True Symbol Dao Realm. You must treasure it well." - Dead Qi True Dragon Dao

  "What's Tianfu Yu Jia? So that's what it's called. Zhenfu Daojing? What kind of place is that?" Chu Cheng's heart stirred: "And what about Youming Tian, where is that?"

  The Underworld Sky, the dead soul of Ninth Uncle, and the Blood Boy of Huang Tian Cang all come from the Underworld Sky, which seems to be a mysterious place.

  Things from the Nether Heaven seem to be strange and sinister, gloomy and venomous.

  "You still know about the Nether Heaven? Your realm is too low, knowing these things won't do you any good. When your cultivation is high and you advance to the Divine Ability Realm, you will naturally come to know about the True Symbol Dao Boundary and the Nether Heaven. For now, you just need to know that it's a very mysterious place." The Dead Qi True Dragon said in surprise.

  Then, the Dead Qi True Dragon took out a blueprint again.

  "This is a good thing that my master obtained in the Green Tomb ruins back then, you must keep it well."

  Chu Cheng was taken aback.

  Because he found that the blueprint seemed somewhat familiar.

  Then he took out two more maps, which were obtained from Xiang Zixuan and Cangying.

  These three drawings are surprisingly made of the same material and depict similar lines.

  "What on earth is this thing?"

  The dead air is also stunned.

  He never thought that the precious treasure his master had obtained with great difficulty would have two copies in Chucheng!

  "This ancient relic's treasure map, you actually have one too?" The Dead Qi True Dragon was extremely astonished.

  "Treasure map? You're saying this is a treasure map of the Qingming Ruins?" Chu Cheng's whole body shook.

  This seemingly ordinary map, what material is it made of, is actually a treasure map of the Azure Abyss ruins?

  But all treasure maps give people the impression of endless treasures. Mysterious devices, elixirs, skills, materials...

  But the paper in his hand, which seemed to be made of animal skin, only had a few strokes on it, outlining a simple pattern. Even the most imaginative web author couldn't think of what use it had or what it was related to!

  How can I find treasure?

  "Is this really a treasure map?" Chu Cheng asked again.

  "That's right, this is the treasure map of Qingming Ruins. Although I don't know where you got this map from, I have to say that you're really lucky." The tone of Shi Qi Zhen Long was a bit sour.

  It turned out that this so-called treasure map was actually a diagram drawn by Qing Ming Blood Ancestor when he was refining the Qing Ming Cave Mansion back then.

  This blueprint has an unimaginable use, but it can only be revealed in the Qingming ruins. If it's outside, it's just a waste paper with no effect.

  After the fall of Qingming Blood Ancestor, the Qingming Cave Mansion was attacked strongly, causing internal damage and turning it into the Qingming Ruins. Although the ultimate defense was finally activated, only cultivators below the Seventh Treasure Realm could enter, and even then, they could only do so once every five years. However, the internal structure had already undergone a huge transformation.

  The blueprint of the Azure Abyss relic has an unimaginable use, and it was also torn apart due to the damage of the Azure Abyss relic!

  No one knows how many parts this blueprint has split into, but those who have obtained the blueprint all know that this blueprint changes with the changes of the Qingming Ruins. The situation it reveals must be the true situation of the Qingming Ruins!

  It shows where there is treasure, and there must be treasure!

  For those who enter the Qingming Ruins, this map is the greatest treasure and the most precious thing. Because with it, you have a better chance of getting the real treasure than others.

  Upon hearing this, Chu Cheng suddenly realized that the treasure map he had obtained from Zi Xuan might actually be the same one that Tian Ling had originally received. And it was also with this very treasure map that Tian Ling had acquired the Tian Ying manual.

  Of course, the beast skin map obtained from Cangying, I don't know what connection it has with the one given by Xiang Zixuan. Because these two seem to be able to be pieced together.

  Or were they originally one and only torn into two pieces for some reason?

  "Bring it here, let me take a look. Hmm, seems like they can't be pieced together. What a pity, my piece and your two pieces, the locations of the hidden treasure don't seem to be close." Dead Qi True Dragon said: "I'll give them to you, hope you gain something from them."

  Chu City took over the animal skin and found that there were only simple lines on it. Its size was roughly equal to the sum of his two paintings.

  "What place is recorded on this map? What treasure does it have?" Chu Cheng asked.

  "It's a place called 'Dan Ge', seems to be where Qing Ming Blood Ancestor refined his elixirs. Of course, Dan Ge is enormous, this diagram only records a small part of it. And my master, at the beginning, only explored a tiny portion, less than one tenth." said Si Qi Zhen Long Dao.

  What's going on?

  Where is the place of alchemy for the Azure Mystic Blood Venerable?

  Chu Cheng's words were etched in his heart.

  Without a doubt, that so-called Dan Pavilion is absolutely a treasure trove of heaven and earth, with countless elixirs stored inside, and even many alchemy artifacts.

  Nine-grade elixir, and even more extraordinary divine medicine!

  "Also, your spatial jade box and the gun inside it seem to possess a spiritual aura, but it doesn't seem like a spirit artifact... It's really strange. Where you got it from is none of my business. But I'll tell you this: make good use of it and cherish it well." said Shi Qi Tian Long.

  "I will." Chu Cheng nodded.

  "I won't give you any magical artifacts, because your own are already sufficient. Even if I gave you some, at most it would be a Mountain and Sea Artifact or a Divine Communication Artifact. As for Spiritual Artifacts, I don't even have many myself, so I couldn't give you any." The Dead Qi True Dragon felt a bit embarrassed.

  "It doesn't matter. The treasure is something outside of me." Chu Cheng waved his hand grandly, with a heart full of bloodshed.

  "A child can be taught. Although I won't give you the Xuanqi, your Nine Dragons Slaying God Spear has been sealed with three portions of spiritual energy by me, which will allow you to use it three times. Even a Five Elements realm cultivator would be able to kill with one spear strike." The True Dragon of Death said.

  "Oh?" Chu Cheng's eyebrows rose in excitement.

  Even the best prop is useless if it can't be used. The gift of a dead dragon's true energy, for oneself, is actually the most useful.

  "Your five-elemental flag, I've also refined it for you. Now you can use it. However, basically, you'll only be able to bring out one-tenth of its power. There's nothing that can be done about this." The Dead Qi True Dragon shrugged.

  "It's already very good." In Chu Cheng's heart, it was no longer just excitement.

  A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

  Even if you have ten divine artifacts, how can they compare to having a Five Elements Flag that you can actually use?

  Chu City can be certain that even if he is alone and facing a poisonous snake, even if he cannot win, he will definitely be able to hold his own!

  "Right, can I see the great Yin Wei's leader?" Chu Cheng asked nervously.

  He was very curious about the legendary Yinwei Lord.

  "Can't." The dead dragon shook its head.

  "Why?" Chu Cheng refused to give up.

  "Because the great master has fallen asleep. Even the last bit of consciousness in that puppet clone, for opening a space node to let you four enter, has also fallen asleep."

  "Alright, time's almost up. Those three have already received the inheritance. And they all managed to come out alive? What a surprise. Remember the vow you made, I'll be waiting for you. Where do you want to go?"

  Chu Cheng was taken aback and immediately shouted: "Return to the starting point!"

  A flash of white light passed by, and Chu City found that he had left the Mountain and Sea World and returned to his initial place.

  I don't know what kind of inheritance Fenghuo Liancheng and Cangying got, and where they went now.
