Chapter 210: The Heavenly Map

This six-winged angel’s treasure hoard was no different from those of other deities. Treasures scattered on the ground, the corpse of the six-winged angel, divine artifacts floating above it, and the divine essence behind the corpse. However, this angel deity didn’t seem particularly powerful—likely ranking low among the 108 Beast Gods—hence showing no signs of revival so far.
After some hesitation, Chen Xiao decided to take the six-winged angel’s corpse and deliver it to Shui Miao, as that was what mattered most to him. Now, with the Xuanwu Egg having consumed the corpse of the Golden Dragon God and Cain’s corpse, plus this six-winged angel’s corpse, its life force would be restored by half. Chen Xiao intended to use all his strength to replenish Xuanwu’s life force and bring it to life, thereby gaining another powerful ally at his side. As for the divine artifacts and essence, they held little value to Chen Xiao.
After plundering the six-winged angel’s treasure hoard, Chen Xiao left through another exit. He wasn’t yet ready to focus his mind enough to use the summoning to reach its source. He planned to continue exploring the hoard, searching for more deities’ corpses to help bring Xuanwu forth as soon as possible.
But soon after, he visited several other hoards—some unreachable, others already plundered. “There’s no choice. Do I really have to let the summoning’s will take me to that source?” Chen Xiao frowned slightly, uneasy. Though he had learned from the Sky Wolf God that this secret realm couldn’t have been created by a god-like being, the place was eerily strange—seemingly, if the corpses weren’t dealt with quickly, they would turn into evil spirits. He had encountered such situations more than once along the way.
Moreover, at the end of these hoards seemed to lurk some powerful existence. Even a mere Virtual God could crush him with a single strike, let alone a true deity. “If I leave now, it might be hard to get back in…” Chen Xiao frowned again. “Besides, I can control those four great arrays outside. Last time when the great immortal came, my wounds also healed mysteriously…”
Chen Xiao’s steps paused. If he looked back on these events hundreds or thousands of years later, would he regret not taking that step? In an instant, he gritted his teeth. His mind relaxed suddenly, while the icy blue flame energy within him began to surge wildly, flowing throughout his body. For a moment, it seemed as though Chen Xiao himself had become a bloom of icy blue flame.
Buzz!
The entire void, or rather, the entire secret realm, trembled slightly. All the revived deities in the realm instinctively raised their heads, fear flashing in their eyes. The carrier of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm—the entire Heavenly Dragon Palace—let out a faint roar, with a powerful soul growling softly within it. “It’s Father’s soul… How could this happen…”

In the world of supernatural abilities, Fu Yun was completely stunned. He stood there motionless, with two streams of clear tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
“Ah…”
Suddenly, he roared toward the sky. A white dragon figure burst through the air—coming from nowhere—it rushed right in front of Fu Yun.
“Roar!”
The white dragon let out a roar and slowly circled around Fu Yun. White-gold scales gradually appeared on Fu Yun’s body.
Boom…
The space around him trembled slightly. In that instant, Fu Yun was transformed, and a faint aura of a Virtual God emanated from his body.
“Father…”
Fu Yun murmured to himself, clenching his fists tightly.
“What’s going on?”
On the other side, Lian Shang and four other cultivators at the fifth level of their respective realms were caught off guard and forced to lie on the ground under the pressure of Fu Yun’s Virtual God aura. No one expected Fu Yun to have become a Virtual God at this moment.
Fu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Now let’s attack the Chen family from the ancient martial arts clans in China. This family doesn’t have any strongholds in the world of supernatural abilities. Take over all their territories, but spare the direct descendants of the Chen family. As for the secular world, inform the Eight Extreme Wolf Emperor to handle it.”
At this moment, Lian Shang seemed to have undergone some transformation and became much more mature. He spoke calmly, giving orders.
“But the young master already sent someone to tell us not to act rashly,” Ling Xing said, getting up from the ground. Although he didn’t understand what had happened to Fu Yun, he still spoke up in objection.
“The young master was worried that our strength wasn’t enough to deal with the Chen and Dragon families, risking unnecessary casualties… But now that I’ve inherited my father’s power and become a Virtual God, such a minor family like the Chen family is nothing to us.”
Fu Yun’s voice grew colder.
“But without the young master’s orders…” Lian Shang began.
“Hmph! The young master doesn’t need a bunch of puppets who only know how to obey! Besides, with the old master in charge, he can make the decisions,” Fu Yun snapped coldly.
…
“Is this the place?”
Chen Xiao stared blankly at the world before him. Endless paths seemed to exist here, constantly moving, as if revealing the truths of existence, various rules, and the origins of everything.
This place was no longer the Tianlong Secret Realm, nor even on Earth or in the world of supernatural abilities.
At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly lost contact with the Main God’s space.
But Chen Xiao wasn’t panicked. A long-lost sense of familiarity arose in his heart. This place felt safer to him than the Main God’s space.
At the center of this world, filled with both infinite light and darkness, was a massive map so large it had no edges.
The map shimmered with multicolored lights, yet it was in a state of chaos, seemingly damaged.
“What is this…” Chen Xiao stared at the map in awe. A sense of kinship suddenly surged in his heart, and his eyes turned a faint gold color.

Chen Xiao instinctively reached out. That image suddenly transformed into a scroll, slowly falling into his hands.
“The Heavenly Map… Nine Heavens… The Nine Heavens Mystic Seal… I see.”
With the scroll in his hands, Chen Xiao seemed to have understood everything. Ultimately, it was all because of the Nine Heavens Mystic Seal that had once sealed his supernatural bloodline.
And that Nine Heavens Mystic Seal originated from this massive map called the Heavenly Map. By chance, Chen Xiao’s parents obtained it, and his grandfather, Chen Jianzhou, used it to seal his bloodline.
Initially, the power of the Nine Heavens Mystic Seal was merely integrated into his blood. That’s why when Chen Xiao first arrived here, he only sensed the Heavenly Map calling to his blood.
But after practicing Eight Extreme Earth Shaking, he awakened the power of the Nine Heavens Mystic Seal within him, integrating it completely with himself and transforming him into a being of immense power. Now, Chen Xiao was essentially the Nine Heavens Mystic Seal itself.
“The Heavenly Map? The Fragmented Heavenly Maps? The Nine Heavens Mystic Seal…” Chen Xiao frowned slightly. He had heard the people of the Dragon family say that to obtain the three Fragmented Heavenly Maps, one must use the Nine Heavens Mystic Seal.
“What exactly are the Heavenly Map, the Fragmented Heavenly Maps, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Seal? What do they have to do with my parents? Why do I need those Fragmented Heavenly Maps to find them…”
Chen Xiao slightly unrolled the map and found that the colorful lights that had once shone on it had disappeared entirely. It was now nothing but a murky chaos, and it seemed to hide something indescribable within.
Chen Xiao put the map away, instinctively wanting to store it in the Main God Space, but he realized he had completely lost contact with it in this world.
“Ah… It seems I rely too much on the Main God Space.” Chen Xiao shook his head. He now realized that everything he had done relied entirely on the Main God Space and its divine disciples. If he had to face all this alone, he would likely have died hundreds of times by now.
“What should I do if I encounter such a place again, unable to contact the Main God Space or communicate with the divine disciples?”
Suddenly, two ice-blue flames burst from Chen Xiao’s eyes. He clenched his fists. “I seem to lack something in myself that I rely on.”
At that moment, the scroll in his hand instantly turned into a stream of light and entered his body, arriving in his mind moments later.
“This map is of no use to me for now. I should focus on obtaining the other three Fragmented Heavenly Maps first.”
With that thought, Chen Xiao looked around. The place was empty, with nothing left. The trails that had been moving in space when he retrieved the Heavenly Map also disappeared, seemingly having entered Chen Xiao’s body along with it.
The ice-blue flame power within Chen Xiao also carried a trace of those trails’ characteristics—representing existence, truth, rules, and laws.

At this moment, it seemed that Chen Xiao’s blue flame power finally broke free from the characteristics of the Primordial God’s power and truly became independent. Meanwhile, the Primordial God’s power began to flow out slowly from the Primordial God entity, no longer being assimilated. That flame power gathered entirely deep within Chen Xiao’s dantian, forming a small ice-blue flame. Yet this small ice-blue flame seemed more potent than all of his Primordial God’s power combined. The Primordial God’s power, in turn, seemed to fear this blue flame greatly and dared not approach it even slightly. With a wave of his hand, an ice-blue flame appeared at the tip of his finger, pulsing gently—its fuel being none other than the Primordial God’s power! A flame fueled by the burning of the Primordial God’s power!
