"From what the founders were told, there are restrictions on humans to only be able to descend one continent, that was the only reason why the lords had managed to escape, but they may command their underlings from a higher continent to search for the map. Luckily, those of higher continents can only descend a continent if they are a level below the peak power of that continent or wear a special tailsmen that places restrictions on them" Come to think of it, that Dai guy did have a tailsmen with him and his power did only last for a few minutes during his struggle until it was exhausted.
Zi Hua's eyes were covered in frost, they dared to kill Xiao Zi's ancestor! Their debt is getting heavier and heavier.
It seems that the Primordial lands' people can't reach here so she can bring the Light Phantom Sect here without worry, she could also be less cautious all the time too.
But before she brings them here, she must get rid of their dogs!
Those of the Primordial lands would have commanded those of Sunlight Continent and that's probably how Celestial Cloud Sect got a map.
They probably haven't made a move towards Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect and Deep Sky Dragon Sect due to the wariness of the spirit beasts still existing, the news of their demise have been kept secret and others believe that they are merely recuperating from their injuries along with the fact that it would be something that the Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect would be able to cope against thanks to the tailsmen.
But there's a loophole, what if the person was from a lower continent previously, the restrictions wouldn't apply to them then.
"Inheritor, please excuse my insolence, you meet the requirements, here is the map" The Sect leader took out the map from her storage ring.
Storage rings are only available in Sunlight Continent and Primordial lands due to it requiring an grandmaster ranked armament master as well as certain materials that are difficult to obtain to create.
The storage ring must've been given to them by the Lightning Purple Phoenix since due to fear of the lower continents rising and getting stronger as well as the power balance, access to such objects that were from higher continents were almost impossible.
"Thank you, you and those before you have been guarding the map and have been loyal to your lord for such a long time" Zi Hua truly respected them, to have guarded the map for so many years without submitting to curiosity and selfishness.
"It is our duty"
Zi Hua had obtained the map so she left the sect and found an inn to temporarily stay in.
She checked that the door was locked then entered Heaven-defying artifact.
"Master!" Like always the little dumpling jumped into her embrace.
"Master, since you have made the bracelets can you bring us out more often, pretty please~" Xiao Hong also started doing what she always did.
"Sure"
"Pretty ple - really, master!"
"En"
"Yay!" She wasn't in the sects anymore so there wasn't much problem with going outside.
"I'll go tell Xiao Bai and Xiao Zi" Xiao Hong rushed away to tell them the news, the two of them have been immerse in the novels and has been rather quiet, Zi Hua didn't know if that was good or bad.
She'll get lonely if they keep on staying in the room, they might be going through their rebellious phrase.
"Xiao Shen, could you make me some food, your cooking is the best!"
"Okay!" The little dumpling then jumped out from her embrace and hurried away.
Zi Hua headed inside her bedroom and sat down to cultivate and make some preparations, this time she'll be prepared!
After studying the map, she could see that the flame fragment was in Lightning Bolt Trials, a mountain which is constantly faced with electrocuting lightning bolts 24/7, it was said to be a place created by a great cultivator to temper muscles, but the requirement was to endure 99 lightning strikes.
Zi Hua knew this was only a bluff to hide the existence of the flame fragment, it was also a place where it's practically impossible to pass through.
99 lightning strikes? B*llsh*t! Even for cultivators, they may not be able to withstand 30 strikes!
Nothing more than a scam, one that'll cost you your life, but it was also a good dumping ground for any power-hungry people that are fearless and may one day join her master's enemies.
Those kind of people who are fearless, are likely, from her experience from reading novels, nosy people who do stuff in the name of clearing evil, like those Sophist Sage Sect guys: perfect candidates to join those Primordial lands b*stards.
