It was a quiet night.
The next day, when Lin Ye finished his cultivation, the sun was already high in the sky.
Lin Ye walked out of his room. The bustling hall was now extremely quiet.
Lin Ye scanned the hall with his Divine Thought and went downstairs.
Sure enough, Shen Qingyun and Qingyue, the two girls, had long prepared food and were waiting for Lin Ye to come down.
The rest of the people looked at Shen Qingyun and Qingyue from time to time. They didn't even dare to speak loudly.
After eating, Lin Ye immediately left with the two girls and rushed to Crimson Phoenix City.
Although Shen Qingyun didn't know about the Cold Abyss Canyon, she knew the specific locations of the seven cities very well.
Crimson Phoenix City was not considered weak among the seven cities. Its strength was not much weaker than that of Cloud Sand City.
However, there was no Divine Will Heavenly Stele in the city, and there was nothing fun to do there. Moreover, it was at the border, close to the Abysmal Heavenly Region. Therefore, not many people were willing to come here.
When Lin Ye and the two girls arrived at Crimson Phoenix City, there were not many people on the streets.
Even many of the shops were closed.
"Why is this place so desolate?"
Lin Ye frowned slightly. He was very curious. He felt that there was a secret hidden in Crimson Phoenix City.
After quickly finding a restaurant and booking a room, Lin Ye asked the servant about the Cold Abyss Canyon.
However, as before, no one knew about the Cold Abyss Canyon. As for Mount Tai, there was a lot of information.
However, when it came to the road to Taishan Mountain, no one could tell the reason why.
In the end, a servant could only remind him, "Sir, if you really want to go to Mount Tai, you'd better buy a map!"
"There are countless arrays on Mount Tai. Without a map, you can only force your way through.
However, even Heavenly Saints have fallen on Mount Tai. Therefore, it's best to buy a map. "
After being reminded, Lin Ye quickly thanked the servant and led Shen Qingyun and Qingyue out of the restaurant to look for a shop that sold maps.
However, there were very few people in Crimson Phoenix City, and there were even fewer shops.
Lin Ye finally found a general store that sold maps. After he mentioned Mount Tai, the store owner, who was full of smiles, immediately chased Lin Ye out.
This also made Lin Ye realize how dangerous Mount Tai was!
However, the more dangerous it was, the more Lin Ye wanted to investigate.
If the map in the Divine Will Heavenly Stele was really the Frigid Abyss Canyon, then he could continue to cultivate the second volume of the Three Thousand Heavenly Ways!
Just the first volume of the Three Thousand Heavenly Daos allowed him to possess such a powerful Divine Sense. If he were to successfully cultivate the second volume, his strength would probably increase at a terrifying speed!
Therefore, Lin Ye could only continue to look for shops in the city to buy the map of Taishan Mountain.
Of course, if there really wasn't a map for sale in a city, then they would have to go without a map.
As the three disciples of Seibu Gakuen, if they couldn't even pass through Mount Tai, then they would really lose face!
After an hour, just as Lin Ye was about to give up looking for a shop, Lin Ye and the other two saw an old and simple shop.
There was a worn-out plaque hanging on the door with the words "Ancient Map" written on it. After taking a closer look at the shop, Lin Ye was slightly surprised.
Although this shop was slightly worn-out, it had a unique charm.
For a moment, Lin Ye couldn't help but be curious about this shop.
He slowly walked into the shop and looked around. The interior wasn't very spacious, and there were Sunstones on the walls that emitted light, illuminating the shop.
There were many maps on the shelves, but it was extremely deserted.
The other shops still had some customers, but this shop, other than Lin Ye and the other two, was empty.
Even some of the maps on the shelves were covered in dust!
Obviously, this shop wasn't just deserted today.
After taking a closer look, Lin Ye's gaze finally stopped on an old man behind the counter who was carefully making maps with his head down.
The old man wasn't young. His hair was white, and his palms seemed to be dried up.
However, the strength he used when drawing the map was steady and powerful, which surprised Lin Ye.
He was sure that the old man's cultivation was definitely not weak!
"Junior Brother Lin, this shop …"
Shen Qingyun waved her hand in disgust. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Ye stopped her.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyun blinked her eyes, but still chose to stand quietly beside Lin Ye.
The old man seemed to have not heard Shen Qingyun's words and continued making maps with his head down.
This time, not only was Lin Ye curious about him, but Shen Qingyun and Qing Yue were also curious and looked at the old man with interest.
Normally, when a shop owner heard someone talking, he would put down what he was doing and come over to greet the customer.
However, the old man didn't care at all. This kind of attitude didn't seem like a shop owner!
Seeing that the old man still needed some time to finish his drawing, Lin Ye turned around and began to flip through the maps on the shelves.
Since this was a shop, all the maps could be sold. Naturally, he could flip through them.
After casually flipping through them a few times, Lin Ye was surprised.
These maps were very detailed. Not only did they have the route of Mount Tai, but they also had the distribution of spiritual beasts and the distribution of formations.
In the distribution of demonic beasts, the hunting areas and resting areas of demonic beasts of different ranks were also divided in detail.
"Hiss … This old man's strength is definitely not weak!"
Seeing these maps, Lin Ye's heart couldn't help but tremble. To be able to make such maps, this old man must be able to move freely in Mount Tai.
Shen Qingyun and Qing Yue were shocked and quickly covered their mouths. When they looked at the old man again, their eyes were filled with surprise.
Obviously, they still didn't dare to believe that the old man had such strength.
After putting away the map, Lin Ye walked towards the other bookshelves.
These maps were also incomparably detailed. They included the seven cities and the entire Desolate God Realm. It could be said that they were all-inclusive!
Narrowing his eyes, just as Lin Ye was considering how to get along with the old man, his hands moved slightly to the side. The map in his hands split open and a slightly tattered map fell out.
Lin Ye bent down to pick it up. Glancing at it from the corner of his eye, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body froze on the spot!
Lin Ye's palm trembled slightly. Even his heart was beating violently.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Ye forcefully suppressed the throbbing in his heart. He gripped the broken map tightly and carefully sized it up.
On the broken map, there was a canyon. It was exactly the same as the one that appeared in the Divine Will Heavenly Stele!
"It really is it …"
Unconcealable joy immediately filled Lin Ye's eyes. He didn't expect that the clue he wanted to find would actually be found in this small shop!
