Qian Jin took out that strange shield from his Warrior Dimension. Although his forging ability increased a lot over the years, he still didn't know what it was made from or how it was made.
He had never encountered such a situation since he became a Forge Grandmaster, but this half shield was an exception.
It was too bad he couldn't take out items from the real world in the Endless World. Otherwise, he would want to let Uncle Blake take a look at it.
After Qian Jin gave this half shield to Duren Burg, he closed his eyes and rested.
"Huh? There are drawings on it?" Duren Burg shouted out of curiosity, "Huh? A map?"
Cech Flet rolled his eyes and said, "Of course..."
Fanta Kunge moved over and observed it a little. "Sea map," he said.
Lucifer Lucy also took a look at the map and sighed, "I have never seen an area of the sea like this one. There is the Star Sea to the west of our Demon Empire, but I don't think this map is indicating an area in there."
After some thought, Fanta Kunge said, "It looks like the sea near Zence, but I can't think of a corresponding location."
"Could it be that someone drew this on here for fun?" Duren Burg pouted his lips and said. He had zero knowledge in this area and couldn't add anything valuable.
"Do you think anyone will draw randomly on a shield that is this quality?"
Qian Jin didn't need to open his eyes to tell that it was Cech Flet who said that. Cech Flet and Duren Burgs were friends, but they also treated each other as opponents; this kind of healthy competition was good in the long run.
"Ha!" Duren Burg attacked back. "You think you can guess the thoughts of powerful warriors? Haven't you heard stories about how powerful warriors liked to dress up as beggars and idiots, get beaten by hooligans, wait for some nice kids to help him, and take these nice kids as their disciples?"
Cech Flet rolled his eyes and asked, "Would you do that if you are a very powerful warrior?"
"My head is functioning properly..." Duren Burg shrugged his shoulder and replied.
"We can only get the full map if we find the other half of the shield." Fanta Kunge looked at Qian Jin and asked, "Do you have the other half? There must be a reason why someone engraved a sea map onto this shield. I think it might be a treasure map."
Qian Jin opened his eyes and smiled bitterly. He had the same idea when he got this shield, but the thing was that he only found this half shield by accident and didn't know where the other half was located.
"If you don't have it..." Fanta Kunge suggested, "After we leave the Demon Territory, we can go to the map library in my family. If we can find a similar map, we might be able to find where this place is."
Even Zence Matten's eyes lit up after he heard that.
Treasure hunt! That was a very attractive thing to young people who were filled with dreams and ambitions!
Powerful warriors would go to dangerous places to hunt treasures in every era; some of them would succeed and become extremely powerful, and some of them won't make it out alive and would become new treasures themselves.
As time passed by, the treasures in places such as the Ancient Desert Sea didn't decrease in number. Since a lot of powerful warriors died in these places, the number of treasures actually increased.
"Great!" Qian Jin sat up and agreed. This half shield itself was very hard to damage and the sea map on it should be even more valuable.
"Alright! Comrade..." Duren Burg smiled and said to Qian Jin, "I remember you said that you know where a Demon Uyeha Spider lives."
Qian Jin laughed in response. Duren Burg's Devour Ability was very special and he also had the Poison Ability. If he could absorb the poison of the Demon Uyeha Spider, the toxins he could use would become even more powerful.
"After we leave the Demon Territory, we can go to Four Seasons Valley and hunt it down," Qian Jin closed his eyes and said. As he recalled the sceneries in the valley, he murmured, "It is time for me to go back and visit my master..."
"Ok! Sounds good!" Duren Burg stopped talking; he closed his eyes and started to practice the Bloodline Techniques of the Hydra.
Cech Flet leaned against the wall of the carriage and read a book; he looked very chill and casual, unlike the others.
"You aren't going to train and try to create Warrior Seals?" Qian Jin asked.
"I have everything I need." Cech Flet closed his book and looked at Qian Jin as he said, "Since I got my Warrior Soul, my speed of condensing Warrior Seals increased a lot. Also, I only know a few Bloodline Techniques that fit me and it is very fast to condense the Warrior Seals for them. This is why the Bloodline Warriors are a lot stronger than ordinary warriors."
Qian Jin had to feel envious. Bloodline Warriors had too many advantages against the ordinary warriors and their speed of condensing Warrior Seals is much faster since they had Bloodline Techniques that fit them.
The faster one could condense a Warrior Seal, the more he or she would be willing to crush it in battle! The Bloodline Warriors could exert even more power when battling with opponents.
There were reasons why Bloodline Warriors were the dominating force in wars.
"You interested in learning a few new techniques?" Qian Jin took out a piece of paper and wrote down a set of fighting techniques.
Except for learning new knowledge, Qian Jin would always go to Uncle Enlak and fight with him every night. He had won quite a few techniques and one of them was a Divine Fighting Technique.
It was a movement technique called [Freedom]. Qian Jin got to experience the power of [Freedom] in battle; he barely beat Enlak's shadows who were using [Freedom] after his legs almost give out for using [Innumerable Shadow] too many times.
In that battle, Qian Jin felt like his opponents could ignore the limitations of space. It didn't matter how hard he tried to tie his opponents down, they always found the opportunity to move.
A big smile appeared on Cech Flet's face. "This fits me perfectly!" he said.
Cech Flet had a pair of wings that were almost mature and they offered him a great amount of movement speed. If he got another pair of wings in the future, he would be able to feel more freedom.
"Interesting." Not sure when he opened his eyes, but Duren Burg came over and said, "I want to learn it too; this movement technique is much more interesting than the one the Hydra Bloodline has."
Fanta Kunge didn't say anything, he just memorized what Qian Jin wrote down.
Lucifer Lucy was also looking at it, and only Zence Matten fanned himself and decided to not look. "As a prince of the Zence Empire, I have access to a lot of new techniques. Also, I need to maintain my prestige as a member of the royal family..."
Bam!
Zence Matten got kicked in the back by Duren Burg, and his face landed on that piece of paper.
"Alright, Mensao Sixth Prince! Stop acting all haughty. Since you are in this group, everyone is treating you as a friend. Since our comrade already took out this technique, he isn't afraid that you will learn it. Didn't you see that the demon in the group is even trying to learn it?" Duren Burg pulled back his feet and added, "Mensao Six, you have to become the emperor! In that case, I can be like the Snake Emperor and brag about how I kicked the emperor of Zence."
Zence Matten sat up and smiled, and he looked at the technique that Qian Jin wrote down. As an outstanding prince, he immediately recognized its value.
"Haughtiness? I will mind that later! But friends?" Zence Matten frowned and thought, "I'm the prince of Zence, the future emperor. How can I have friends?"
Qian Jin closed his eyes and continued to condense his Warrior Seals. He only condensed two Warrior Seals for Kun Fighting Technique and he had to explode them in battle.
Different from other techniques, Kun Fighting Technique could condense one Warrior Seal per level. After all ten Warrior Seals were condensed, they could be combined into one and that one Warrior Seal would be the complete Warrior Seal for the Kun Fighting Technique.
The harder it was to condense a Warrior Seal, the more powerful a technique was. Land Tearing Chop and UltrFake Soul both were Divine-level Fighting Techniques, but they were condensed easily; Qian Jin only needed to add to them and make them bigger. The Kun Fighting Technique on the other hand, was much harder to complete.
The higher the level of the Kun Fighting Technique, the harder it was to create the Warrior Seal. It was very similar to Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes, but the Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes were much harder to complete.
The Demon Territory wasn't smaller than the territory of Zence. After a month and a half, they finally arrived at the colossal Fallen City.
"This is Fallen City?"
Qian Jin got off the carriage and stretched his body. A lot of Warrior Seals flowed around in his Warrior Hearts. In the last month and a half, the Warrior Seal for the Sky Shot Secret Technique of the Barbarians was condensed. It flowed around the Warrior Seal for Divine Shot Secret Technique of the Yuri Family, but they didn't integrate; it felt like they were missing a key connection.
"Yeah, Fallen City..." Cech Flet looked at the city and sighed. He didn't anticipate coming back to this place after he barely escaped without getting killed, so his tone was filled with emotion when he came back.
