Global Cultivation: First-time Top-up for the Ultimate Destiny Treasure

Chapter 260: The Analysis of the Map of the Ruins, the Choice of the Jungle Plains

Following the verbal confrontation between Zhao Xuening and Li Mengxi, the atmosphere between the three women suddenly became tense.

Li Mengxi was somewhat regretful. Why did she suddenly say such words? Moreover, she had a vague feeling that she wanted to attract the attention of some people.

However, only she herself knew that she had competed with Li Mengxi for a few years not only because of the relationship between her brothers, but also because she had a competitive heart.

However, ever since the activation of her immortal destiny, Zhao Xuening had activated the Mystic Female body of the Nine Heavens, and she was merely a supreme-grade spiritual root.

From then on, she had already pulled far ahead from her. Originally, she did not want to continue competing with Zhao Xuening, but today, for some reason, a restless feeling arose in her heart.

It forced her to say those words.

Now, she also knew what she had overstepped herself. Humiliating a woman’s innocence was indeed too much, but facing Zhao Xuening, admitting her mistake? It did not exist, alright?!

“Hmph!”

She snorted softly, turned her head to the side, and did not continue speaking.

Thus, the atmosphere at the scene fell into a stiff state, and at this time, it was Nie Ling who came out to mediate the situation.

She came to the middle of the two women and said with a gentle smile to ease the atmosphere.

“Fellow Daoist Li, fellow Daoist Zhao, although I don’t know what grudges you two have, there are many dangers in the ancient ruins. We should still keep calm.”

Nie Ling was slightly older than Li Mengxi and Zhao Xuening, but in this era where cultivators lived for thousands of years, the difference in age was negligible.

Nie Ling did not call them sisters because she was slightly older than them. She just called them fellow Daoists.

Seeing that someone was trying to mediate the situation, Zhao Xuening looked at Nie Ling and chuckled. Then, she turned around and slowly walked toward Su Yi, who was not far away, and spoke.

“Since fellow Daoist Nie has said so, there’s no point in arguing.”

Hearing this, Li Mengxi also stared at Zhao Xuening and did not reply. If she did, with their personalities, they would probably start arguing.

Nie Ling also followed Zhao Xuening and slowly walked towards Su Yi.

At this time, he did not notice the three women behind him. Instead, he was discussing something with Wang Baocai.

Wang Baocai and Su Yi each held one side of a map. On the map, the scenery in the ruins was sketched out like a landscape painting.

Wang Baocai pointed at one of the places and explained to Su Yi, “fellow Daoist Su Yi, this place is exactly where we are now. It’s also the place that I drew on the note I gave you earlier.”

He looked over when he heard that and saw that the ink patterns on the somewhat old map indeed sketched out their current location.

High cliffs, waterfalls, pools, and stone statues?

When he clearly saw the description on the map, he was immediately shocked.

If this was what was depicted on the map, then what was on the note?

Thinking of how he looked at Wang Baocai suspiciously, the latter seemed to understand and said awkwardly, “well, it’s just that my drawing skills are limited, and I can only draw to that extent.”

Hearing this, he really wanted to beat Wang Baocai to death. How could you draw such an abstract thing?

If it was not for the fortuitous coincidence, he might not have been able to find this place.

However, since he had already arrived here, he did not think about the matter from before.

He looked at the map carefully. He saw that the map only started from where they were now, and then extended to a palace in a corner?

It could be seen that this was not a map of the entire ancient ruins, but a map of a single place.

“That means that we need to follow this stream through a forest to reach this palace, right?”

He drew a line on the map with his finger and pointed out a route.

When Wang Baocai saw it, he cheered.

“That’s true. Fellow Daoist Su Yi’s vision is as sharp as a torch, and he was able to think of this route with just a glance. It’s just that…”

“It’s just that this ruined ruin is filled with dangers. Who knows how much danger we’ll encounter if we cross the jungle, right?” At this moment, Zhao Xuening, who was walking over, glanced at the map and said indifferently.

“Xuening…” Su Yi glanced at her and called out in a low voice. Unexpectedly, what he got in return was a glare from her beautiful eyes.

Thus, Su Yi quickly shrank his body and continued to look at the map in his hand.

Zhao Xuening slowly leaned against his side. Dressed in a snow-white dress, Zhao Xuening could even smell the faint fragrance on her body.

Su Yi could not help but feel a little restless. Although they used to play together at the same table, he did not expect this girl to be so interesting after wearing a cultivation dress.

“Emptiness is lust, and lust is emptiness. My heart is controlled by me, as still as water…” Su Yi murmured to himself.

After calming down for a while, he suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

At this time, Nie Ling also came to Su Yi’s side, but she did not lean forward. Her gentle eyes had a hint of sadness, as if she was the only superfluous person in the world.

At this time, Zhao Xuening’s delicate hand drew a line on the map, then pointed at Su Yi and said in a soft tone.

“If we go from here, the fastest way to the destination is through the forest on the map. However, we don’t know how much danger there is in the forest, but if we take a detour…”

She drew a line on the map and continued.

“We can go around the forest from here and pass through a plain on the side. However, is this place less dangerous than the forest?”

Everyone looked at where her map pointed and found that there were no landmarks on the plains. It was very strange.

Although it was normal for the plains to be flat, do not forget that this was a land of ancient ruins.

If there was really no danger, then there would definitely be demon beasts gathering on the plains. However, when they looked at the jungle and the plains in the distance, they could not see any demon beasts.

Then, it was very likely that there was an unknown danger on the plains.

“In other words, we only have two choices?” He looked at Zhao Xuening, who was leaning against him, and asked doubtfully.

The latter nodded slightly and looked into the distance before saying, “from the looks of it, that is indeed the case.”

Wang Baocai, who was holding the other side of the map, was currently deep in thought.

He was aware of the dangers of the ancient ruins. Just following the map to find where they were now had caused him a lot of trouble.

If he could only choose one of the two directions…

“Let’s go to the plains,” at this moment, Su Yi said.

Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to say what he wanted to say next.

“Compared to the dangers hidden in the jungle, I think the plains are better. At the very least, if we encounter any danger, we will be able to know immediately what it is and how to deal with it.”

He spoke with great confidence. This was the confidence brought about by his great strength.

On the plains, even if they encountered something dangerous, he was confident that he could rely on his speed to bring everyone out of the danger.

“Agreed.”

“Agreed.”

“I also agree.”

As the three voices fell, they were actually the three women’s voices of approval. Wang Baocai’s mouth twitched when he heard this.

It seems that all of you have already planned it out. What does that have to do with me?

Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh as he looked at Li Mengxi and asked, “fellow Daoist Li, where is your elder brother?”

Hearing this, the latter shook his head and said, “I don’t know. But with his strength, as long as he doesn’t encounter a demon beast horde, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to protect himself.”

Hearing this, Wang Baocai nodded his head and made a decision.

“Alright, then we won’t wait any longer. Let’s go now.”

The group of people slowly headed towards the destination on the map.

Also, in the depths of the ruins, the elders of the aristocratic families began to slowly gather…
