"What is this? The Blood Revenge Divine Intent Map that the Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion created for the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord a thousand years ago?"

The Blind Old Man had no vision, but his other four senses and divine sense were extremely sharp.

He ’looked’ at the various totems on Chu Xisheng’s body, his expression incredulous: "The map was completed but had not been inscribed yet; the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord had already fallen. The Dominating Martial King had inquired about this map before, intending to purchase it heavily, but gave up because she was expelled from the Formless Divine Sect. How did this map land on you?"

Chu Xisheng had predicted this question from the old man, and smiled slightly: "I have a deep relationship with the Coastal Zhou Family. The Zhou family’s direct heir is now my Daoist servant. Few people know that the master of the Coastal Zhou Family and the current Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion Master were childhood friends."

The Blind Old Man was enlightened upon hearing this.

He had heard about the deep friendship between the master of the Coastal Zhou Family and the current Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion Master.

"Then you’re indeed lucky. The sects, the Inner Palace, and the Western Capital Chu Family all sought to buy this map from the ’Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion’ four months ago, but they were told it was gone. There was even an uproar within the Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion over this.

The Pavilion Master kept the whereabouts of this map a secret; even our ’Sky Listening Institute’ is still investigating. To think this map ended up in your possession."

"Is that true?" Chu Xisheng was initially surprised but then smiled awkwardly.

This time, he indeed took advantage of his connection with the Coastal Zhou Family to get a good deal.

Thanks to this map, he successfully awakened the ’Vengeance’ bloodline.

However, it felt a bit tricky for the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion.

What surprised Chu Xisheng was that the Pavilion Master hadn’t betrayed him or the Zhou Family.

This had been a significant concern for Chu Xisheng.

Outsiders could figure out he had the potential to cultivate the ’Vengeance Blade’ from the time he acquired the ’Blood Revenge Divine Intent Map.’

Unexpectedly, the Pavilion Master withstood the pressure, and the timing was still four months ago.

Chu Xisheng thought he owed the Pavilion Master a considerable favor.

Traditionally grateful, Chu Xisheng remembered kindness and sought to repay it.

Unfortunately, his current capabilities were limited, so he could only keep this matter in his heart.

"Regarding the Divine Intent Map, I’ll explain it to the Sect Master. Blind Old Man, can you connect some of my maps, particularly the Formless Battle Map and the Blood Revenge Divine Intent Map?"

If a person could be compared to a carriage, then the ’Blood Revenge Divine Intent Map’ was one of the wheels beneath the carriage, and the ’Formless Battle Map’ was one of the horses pulling the carriage.

Connecting the two would bring out their combined potential.

"That’s necessary."

The Blind Old Man chuckled: "No problem at all. I can tell that the tattoo artist who made your war maps has greatly improved in skill. Her craftsmanship is solid, and there are many redundancies. I can optimize it further for you."

He ’examined’ Chu Xisheng’s chest, abdomen, and back, marveling: "Your war map layout is excellent. The Blood Revenge Divine Intent Map, Formless Battle Map, Three-Phases Divine Map, and Extreme Essence Divine Firmament Map — these four maps on your body are either top-notch or can still be enhanced further.

The key is that you still have large blank areas that can accommodate at least five top-tier war maps. Unlike other young people who carelessly cover themselves in war maps, their current combat power is strong, but they lack planning. In the future, it becomes a mess, costing a fortune to remove and leaving them without any further potential early on."

Chu Xisheng laughed at the comment, thinking of Chu Yunyun.

If not for his wife reminding and helping him plan, he would have been in the same situation as others.

The Blind Old Man opened his needle and thread kit and, while preparing, continued to click his tongue in praise: "Good! Very good! Your layout is excellent, keep it up. From what I know, those top-ranked individuals trying to break the limit between humans and gods, reaching the super-grade, must push their cultivation bodies, martial arts, and martial intent and at least three types of bloodline talents to above the twenty-fourth layer.

The higher the martial arts tier, the better; the higher the tier, the greater the chance to break the limit between humans and gods. The more bloodline talents above the twenty-fourth layer, the better; the more powerful the bloodlines, the greater the chance to ascend gods."

"As for the bloodlines, there’s a way. Around the world, great sects and factions hold multiple divine rank bloodlines and several methods to break the top-level bloodline limits. The problem is that martial arts, martial intent, and cultivation bodies, even those at the ’Holy Transmission’ level, can typically only reach the eighteenth layer.

Among them, some, like our sect’s Mixed Element Formless Skill and the Pingtian Sword, can reach the twentieth layer but still fall short of super-grade. What to do when the cultivation bodies, martial arts, and martial intent are insufficient? External forces become necessary, with war maps being one.

You have inherited the legacy of the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord; the potential ahead is enormous. The subsequent war map engravings must be done with the utmost care, lest you endanger yourself. Remember, the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord of the past once pushed the Vengeful Blade Intent to the twenty-seventh layer, the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade to the twenty-fifth layer, yet failed to open that door. A pity, a great pity—"

Chu Xisheng felt a stinging pain on his back.

The Blind Old Man had begun inscribing the war map on his back.

He remained silent, thinking this was just the beginning.

As a mere Sixth Grade, how could he even think about super-grade matters?

However, he did have an edge over others when it came to breaking the limit between humans and gods.

That edge was Little Flat Head—

The ’Symbiotic Spirit Contract’ allowed him to share some of Little Flat Head’s bloodline talents and let it bear part of the ’Divine Devour’ pressure, breaking the final gods seal.

This time, the Blind Old Man’s war map drawing took a long time, two full days and nights, before he, looking extremely exhausted, put away his needle and thread.
