Shen Qian sat alone in the simple stone house, holding a crude map sewn from animal hides in his hands, deep in thought with a frown.
Battlefield of Myriad Races...
These four words touched a sensitive nerve in Shen Qian.
The main problem is that it wasn't until recently that Shen Qian suddenly realized a problem.
The projection of Jiangling King's consciousness only gave him hints on how to enter the River of Time, but did not tell him how to return.
Of course, there's a possibility that even the Prince of Jiangling didn't know...
To be more precise, since it was impossible for Shenqian to break through the mountain and sea a second time, it is almost certain that there must be other ways for him to enter the river of time.
Shen Qian simply happened to use the most convenient method.
Before sinking, he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask King Jiangling, such as the biggest mystery in modern martial arts, namely the whereabouts of the first nine kings. Unfortunately, everything was too rushed, and King Jiangling disappeared before he could even speak.
An intuition told Shen Qian that the answer lay in the battlefield of all races.
This is a sensation that occurs after one's mental strength reaches a certain level.
My thoughts returned to the map in my hand.
Shen Qian never imagined that even maps would be a luxury item in this era.
After Shen Qian asked for a map, Yue Jun went to the clan chief and, much later, delivered what was likely the only map the Great Yue Clan possessed. Moreover, Shen Qian could only borrow it and could not take the lead.
Fortunately, he only needed to glance at it to imprint everything in his heart.
The biggest problem is that the map is even rougher than we imagined before it sank.
The map shows a vast, seemingly endless continent with no ocean in sight, only rivers.
Apart from the Mangshan Mountain where the Yuezhi clan resided, which was marked most clearly, even many areas occupied by the human race were replaced by mist. Only the area called Hechuan, where the five major clans resided, was relatively clear.
However, only the five major clans live on plains where rivers flow through. The other clans, numbering over a thousand on the map, are either deep in the mountains, in the wilderness, or in the jungle.
All the aforementioned territories that can be collectively referred to as human territory occupy only about one-thirtieth of the area on this two-meter-long map, and are located in extremely remote locations.
"The territory where humans live is far too narrow..."
Shen Qian shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
Before sinking, he saw unfamiliar tribal names on the map, including "Elephant Tribe," "Power Tribe," and "Gu Tribe"...
However, the group that occupies the largest territory on the entire map is a group called the "Witch Clan".
The Witch Clan?
Shen Qian's eyes narrowed, as if he had made a connection to something.
But soon, his attention was drawn to something else.
Because on this map, which has been painted over many times and whose wear and tear suggests it has endured countless years, the most striking feature is not the vast territories of the great clans, but rather the names painted over in red ink.
Many names are just a single syllable, and some people didn't even know how to pronounce them before, but...
Those names were so glaring, densely covering almost every part of the map.
After only a second of reaction, Shen Qian realized what those names represented.
Gods!
Those names were the gods mentioned by Tsukishima.
After figuring it out, Chen Qian couldn't help but gasp.
This map shows only a few tribes, but the number of gods is more than a hundred or a thousand times greater.
This probably doesn't even include those foggy areas.
Even within this small Python Mountain, there are markings for three deities!
After a closer look, Shen Qian discovered that besides the snake god who should be named "Mangshan," there were two other beings named "Qi" and "Niu Shen."
Just by hearing the name, you can tell that it's probably not human.
All of these can be put aside for now... The real problem is that, after searching the entire map, I still couldn't find where the "Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races" is.
"Previously, Yue Jun said that the young man named Yue Lang was selected by the special envoys of the five major clans to participate in the 'Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races'. Does that mean that one can only reach the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races by passing through the five major clans?"
Shen Qian frowned deeply.
After the Yuezhi subtly expressed their unwelcoming attitude towards Chenqian, the others basically ignored him, and only Yuejun brought Chenqian here.
...Well, although the room is quite simple, judging from the small decorations and the fresh scent that belongs only to a young girl, this should be Tsukijun's own room.
After bringing Chenqian here, Yuejun left, leaving Chenqian alone in the room to recover from his injuries. He would be sent out of the Great Yue Clan before sunset.
In fact, given his pre-sinking strength, although he hasn't fully recovered yet, he should be able to protect himself under normal circumstances.
But Shen Qian also had his own concerns.
It mainly comes from the dense markings of deities on the map.
As of now, Shen Qian does not have a clear understanding of the true extent of the power of these deities.
Judging from the situation of the Dayue clan, although it is only a small clan in the human territory, it still has a half-step Mountain and Sea level expert and a clan leader who is qualified to challenge the Mountain and Sea level with just his spiritual power.
But... judging from the cautious attitude of the Moon Falcon, they were clearly very wary of those gods.
This requires careful consideration before acting.
Because he is here... all alone.
