Chapter 245: Map in Possession! Life or Death?

The closer one was about to complete the task, the tougher it was. Right now, Yang Dingtian was just one step away to obtain the other half of the Mystic Flame’s map. But this was also the most important step that he must execute flawlessly; otherwise, everything he had done previously would be in vain, and he would have to die without leaving a corpse behind.

“Can I not look, Lord Qin?” Yang Dingtian suddenly asked.

“Oh?” Qin Huaiyu asked, “Why would you say that?”

Yang Dingtian said, “I can see that this map is extremely important. If I see it, I don’t think I can leave this place alive. You will surely kill me to silence me, right?”

Qin Huaiyu didn’t answer; he simply handed the Mystic Flame’s map to Yang Dingtian and said, “Look!”

Yang Dingtian revealed a miserable smile and sighed towards the air before saying, “Alright, I will look.”

Afterward, he slowly opened up the scroll of the map.

That’s right; this was the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame’s map.

The material of the cloth was exactly the same as Yang Dingtian’s other half. Furthermore, the wordings and diagrams were a complete match.

Finally, Yang Dingtian used all his strength and effort to open up the second half of this map.

***

Yang Dingtian was desperately trying to contain his excitement and emotions. He had squinted his eyes to carefully look at every diagram and every wording on this map.

Yang Dingtian wasn’t the only person looking, Dongfang Niemie’s divine sense was also looking from Yang Dingtian’s mind.

In just a few scans, Yang Dingtian was able to accurately remember the second half of this map in his mind without any error. Because the only thing he could do was to remember the map in his mind, it would be a lunatic’s dream to steal this map from Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyu and escape unscathed. Hence, he had no choice but to remember the map in his mind.

“Do you know the location of the place as depicted on this map?” Qin Huaiyu asked.

Yang Dingtian looked for a while longer and lifted his head, “This doesn’t seem like a complete map?”

“That is right.” Qin Huaiyu replied, “This is merely one-half of the map. Purely based on this half map, can you tell where this place is?”

“Apologies, this map is too crude.” Yang Dingtian said, “There are truly too many similar landscapes. Moreover, this map doesn’t have the name of this place at all. On the contrary, the wordings on it are true. But even some wordings are in half, and these wordings should form a poem. I feel that it is truly too difficult to make an accurate guess with the available information.”

Qin Huaiyu replied, “We only have this half of the map. Just purely based on this half of the map. If you do not have to bear any responsibility and just rely on your senses and impression, where exactly do you think this place is on the map?”

“Just relying on my senses? Without any evidence?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Qin Huaiyu responded, “That’s right. Without any evidence.”

Yang Dingtian said, “It should be the extreme north of the East Parting Grassland, the Celestial Red Sea.”

Qin Huaiyu’s eyebrows shivered while he asked, “Celestial Red Sea? What is that place?”

“It is a sea that is 10,000 meters above sea level. It is roughly 200 miles in perimeter, and the water there is red in color. When a person jumps down the sea, that person won’t sink in, even if a rock were to be thrown in it, it would still float on the surface of the sea.”

Yang Dingtian then said, “In addition, that place is a completely forbidden zone for life. There are nearly no traces of life from two hundred miles away from the Celestial Red Sea. This red sea’s water is cold when touched, but if any living being were to sink in, they would be cooked thoroughly in an instant!”

“Oh? So mystical?” Qin Huaiyu commented.

“That’s right.” Yang Dingtian said, “Back then, I was attracted to this place and had walked for a few thousand miles. I went through hardships and danger just to reach this place. Afterward, I stayed on the coast for three days. In just three days, my mystic meridians were inflicted with permanent damage.”

“What else?” Qin Huaiyu asked.

Yang Dingtian thought for a moment and shook his head, “Nothing else. I have said everything I know.”

Subsequently, Yang Dingtian handed the map back to Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu received and laughed while asking a question, “Aren’t you curious what exactly is the thing on this map? What kind of cardinal treasure is it?”

Yang Dingtian smiled before his face turned stern and said, “Young Lord Qin, you can threaten me, kill me, but can you not mock me?”

Qin Huaiyu was startled, “Apologies.”

Yang Dingtian looked at the duo and asked, “Should I be on my way?”

Qin Huaiyu nodded and said, “Yes, do you have any last wishes? I will surely complete it for you.”

Yang Dingtian pondered for a moment and shook his head, “The thing I wish to do is something you cannot do nor complete. Hence, do not worry about it.”

Qin Huaiyu’s eyes twitched before he asked, “Don’t you love my aunt very much? Don’t you have anything to inform her?”

“Is there a need?” Yang Dingtian said, “You people might constantly be hurting her, but you people are also one of the people that love her the most in the world too.”

After finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, “Since I have to die, can I make a request?”

“Say it.” Qin Huaiyu replied.

“After you kill me, make this small building in the water into my resting place.” Yang Dingtian requested.

“Sure!” Qin Huaiyu replied firmly.

Yang Dingtian nodded and walked in front of Qin Huaiyu. He grabbed Qin Huaiyu’s hand and placed it on his heart and said slowly, “Make your move.”

At the same moment, Yang Dingtian bit on his teeth gently and broke the holy water bead in his mouth, allowing the holy water to flow into his stomach. Yang Dingtian had prepared this holy water bead for a very long time. It was a gamble on his life.

Back at the Five Elements Hall Secret Realm, after the demon woman Dugu Fengwu struck at his heart with an all-out palm attack, Yang Dingtian had survived because of the holy water. Right now, because Yang Dingtian had the holy water, he was betting that Qin Huaiyu’s palm strike wouldn’t be able to kill him.

Of course, this gamble with his life was too terrifying and too dangerous, but Yang Dingtian had no other choice. Since Yang Dingtian arrived in this world, he had constantly been dancing on the tip of blades.

Qin Huaiyu looked at Yang Dingtian’s face and couldn’t help but shift his gaze away before saying, “My apologies, Brother Shen!”

After finishing his statement, Qin Huaiyu’s absolutely powerful mystic qi was about to burst out.

“Wait…” All of a sudden, Qin Wanchou yelled out.

Qin Huaiyu looked at his father with confusion and quickly stopped.

Qin Huaiyu looked at Yang Dingtian and asked, “You have traveled the world. Where else have you been to?”

“Many, many places.” Yang Dingtian replied.

“Have you been to all of the prestigious major factions of the Heaven Dao Union?” Qin Wanchou asked.

“All of them.” Yang Dingtian said.

“Evil Dao’s factions?” Qin Wanchou asked again.

“I have been to many of them too.” Yang Dingtian answered.

Qin Wanchou looked at Yang Dingtian with passionate eyes, “Then do you feel any difference between my Qin City and the other famed factions?”

Yang Dingtian didn’t know why Qin Wanchou was asking these questions. But he knew that his answer would determine his life and death. Hence, he had to give the best answer that would go straight into Qin Wanchou’s heart.

If this were the case, he might not have to risk his life and could simply escape alive.
