Chapter 66: First piece of stellar map.

The old souls having their minds broke down into pieces with heavy news they could only sigh in regret and leave the treasures to younger generation.

.....

Xin having entered deep thought, "To travel from one continent to another, it takes several years. I need to find some ways to travel faster than the current situation."

Xin with doubts asked, "Are there no land routes where people travel by land?"

Old man Xi squinted his eye and looked at him, "Yes, there are."

"Then why don't people travel by land?" Xin asked with doubts.

If there is land routes why do people travel by sea which takes years?

"Not all the land route is available. Just like the route of sea, there are people travelling by land which is deemed to be safe after countless trials and errors at the cost of lives." Old man Xi words reminded them again, that this world is full of fairness and troubles.

"How many land routes are available currently and how much time does it take to travel from one continent to another?" Xin piqued his interest.

"To be honest with you, each continent is also surrounded by land but it's just that we don't dare trespass it, as there are many ominous things and taboo places that we don't dare take a step in. That's why we travel by sea which is somewhat safe, even though there are only safe routes available. Just like sea routes, there are only two major land routes each, which connects each major continent to another continent. And within each continent, which is five continent on one continent each, has ten routes. And it takes less years and less time than the sea routes." Old man Xi have a brief view.

Then Old man Xi continued, "But the dangers faced in land routes are robbers and fights with cultivators which can injure low cultivators."

"I see now." Xin thanked him.

"That's all to my knowledge and experience, no need to thank me." Old man Xi waved his hand in embarrassment.

"Old man Xi, isn't time to give him that item?" Old man Zong suddenly spoke.

"Yes, it's about time to give him." Old man Xi sighed with helplessness.

Wen Yao, Fatthy Jin looked at each other and then looked at them with understanding in their minds, "What are they talking about?"

"Benefactor, though this old man has life experience in martial world, I don't have any gifts to pills to give you. So I can only give you this item."

After Old man Xi spoke, he took out an item. This item had dark rusts as if it's been cut out from it's whole piece and shaped like a triangular shape.

Xin looked at it carefully with his eyes. He couldn't help but shudder when he could see certain miniature dots in it.

Clearing his mind, he accepted the item, then looked at it carefully.

...

"Senior, what is this item?" Xin asked with doubts.

"Even I don't know. I only know that it's a rare item which I got from a shop a long time ago." Old man Xi stopped at this.

Seeing his facial expression, Xin understood. Seems like this item bought disasters in his body.

From inside the bow, Old Mo's voice transmitted into Xin senses, "Boy, you better accept it and don't show this to anyone. Maybe because of this, he was chased and cursed."

"Understood, senior!" Xin nodded.

"Senior may I know what item is this?" Xin curiously questioned.

"It's a stellar map, which can pin point the locations. It was born during an ancient immemorial era when the creater created this world."

After saying this, Old Mo went in silence. But in Xin's mind, it shuddered.

Ancient immemorial era? And an item born when creater created this world?

"Boy, don't think too much, just do what you are supposed to do!" Again, Old Mo's voice transmitted to Xin senses.

...

After looking for long Time, Xin warned, "Senior, maybe it's because this item that you are being cursed."

When they heard this words, Wen Yao, Fatty Jin, Old man Zonh, Old man Ku, Old man Xi, all entered in frenzy silence and looked at Xin.

"Do you know what item is this?" Old man Zong spoke.

Xin replied, "I don't know, I only know that it's an item that can't be bought with money. For instance, this item, I won't trade even for an Good Fortune Weapon Artefact."

"WHAT!!!!!" They all shouted in unison and went agape.

Good Fortune Weapon Artefact! It's the weapon that every cultivator dreams of yet he won't trade for it?

They all looked at the item carefully again and couldn't find any trace of uniqueness.

"Why can't I find any trace of aura from this item?" Fatty Jin dissapointedly whispered.

"Same here, even me I can't find any trace of aura!" Wen Yao dissapointedly reported.

Seeing their faces, Xin shook his head and said, "The reason is because, it needs another two pieces. So I concur that to completely remove the rusts, we need to find another two pieces of it."

"Wait, how do you know that it's a total of three peices in total?" Fatty Jin asked with curiosity.

Seeing him, Xin responded not to doubt him in front of others, "You see the scratches and edges on this item. On side, it's engraved with ancient inscription. And the letter here says - three. So I concur it to be a total of three pieces.

Xin continues, "So the first piece is already in my hand and therefore I think I need another two pieces to complete the puzzle."

"How do you know the ancient inscription text?" Wen Yao widened her eyes.

"Like I said before, during my childhood, I spent time reading and going to different places with my father. So I know some basic text of inscription. Everyone in cultivation world requires some basic text of inscription." Xin responds calmly.

"Yes, when I found this item, I also understood that it needs three pieces from the text but I couldn't find the other two no matter how hard I searched." Finally Old man Xi admitted the same conclusion as Xin.

How could it be so simple to find the other two pieces of map from an ancient immemorial era? If it was easy to find, it could be as selling cabbage and potatoes on streets!
