The Treasure Map had been in existence for an unknown period of time. The brownish-yellow animal skin was filled with winding red lines, and apart from appearing a bit ancient, there seemed to be nothing too peculiar about it.
If it wasn’t for the introduction provided by the game, no one would have thought this was a Treasure Map.
Su Nan attempted to piece together the two animal hides along the torn area.
As he put them together, a miraculous event occurred – the red lines on the two hides seemed to come to life and swiftly connected to each other.
The torn area, like healing, disappeared in the blink of an eye as the two pieces of animal hide merged into one, leaving no trace that they had ever been torn apart.
The previously chaotic lines twisted and intertwined to form a completely different Treasure Map before Su Nan’s eyes.
The disorderly lines on the map had vanished, replaced by a painting of mountains and rivers.
At the center of the map was a red dot, surrounded by mountains. It was apparent that this was the location of the cave dwelling.
When he picked up the Treasure Map again, the information regarding it had changed.
[Ancient Treasure Map: A treasure map leading to the cave dwelling of an ancient powerhouse of the human clan. By following the route on the treasure map, one can find the powerhouse’s cave dwelling and may enter it using this map.]
[Hint: The artifact revealing the location of this cave dwelling is not unique. If you are the first person to find the cave dwelling, congratulations! You will reap huge rewards for this discovery; however, the odds are in favor that you will not be the first.]
“Is the Treasure Map not unique?” Su Nan furrowed his brow. If there were many such maps, the value of the one he had would be greatly reduced.
According to the information, the artifacts that recorded the location of the cave dwelling may not necessarily be a map – they could be something else. It is very likely that there is only one in the form of a Treasure Map; otherwise, the maps would have already been collected by someone.
The lines on the Treasure Map formed a landscape painting. The most conspicuous, characteristic place in it was the central area encircled by four mountains.
The places Su Nan had been in contact with were limited, and he wasn’t even familiar with the world’s surface. Naturally, he couldn’t possibly know the specific location on the map. To find it, he would need to obtain a more detailed map of the Nine Districts to compare.
“I hope the location on the Treasure Map is in Dongchen State. Otherwise, the map will be of no value to me.”
As he examined the location on the map, Su Nan decided to use his foreknowledge ability.
It was obviously impossible for him to find the location on the Treasure Map on his own.
He would need to rely on the power of Tiangong Pavilion in his foreknowledge.
[You’ve obtained a Treasure Map left behind by an ancient powerhouse. You are drawn to the location on the map and want to find the cave dwelling.]
[You halt the condensation of your Life Essence Blood and head towards Tiangong Pavilion, planning to ask about the location on the map there.]
[Three minutes later, you arrive at Tiangong Pavilion.]
The end of the first prediction.
