"It seems that you've been tempted?" The gray robed elder smiled from ear to ear as he stared at Zhou Yuan. The latter's answer had clearly indicated his decision.

　　Zhou Yuan displayed a slight smile as he replied, "It would be fine if I did not have this information, but since elder has already pointed the way, won't I be a lost cause if I still do not grasp this chance?"

　　The Saint Remains Domain was clearly the most important opportunity in the Cangmang Continent. Even the prided geniuses of the many large empires, great clans and powerful factions were currently doing all they could in preparation for this grand event. So what reason did he have for turning a blind eye?

　　This was no small squabble, but a true contest for the grand prize!

　　The path of cultivation was fraught with untold dangers and difficulties. Only the one who was able to grasp each chance that descended and continuously surpa.s.s every strong foe encountered would ultimately stand at the peak of the world.

　　"At least you have some courage." The gray robed elder nodded. Having already said so much, if Zhou Yuan did not even have the b.a.l.l.s to vie with the prided geniuses of the large empires, great clans and powerful factions, he future would truly be limited, making him unworthy of the old man's concern.

　　The old man retrieved a map from his sleeves and said, "This is a map of the entire Cangmang Continent. The location of the Saint Remains Domain has been marked on it. It will likely take several months to reach it from the Great Zhou Empire. Fortunately, there is still half a year till the opening of the Saint Remains Domain so you should be able to make it."

　　Zhou Yuan received the map and unfurled it. His gaze swept across the map, coming to a stop at the very center where a giant eye-grabbing blood-red area had been marked out.

　　From the terrain, it really looked as if the area had been formed from a drop of blood.

　　The only thing was that… this drop of blood seemed to be a little too terrifying to imagine.

　　Zhou Yuan mumbled to himself, "So this is the Saint Remains Domain."

　　Soon after, he let out a sigh. He had realised that he would have to pa.s.s through the territories of dozens of empires in order to reach his destination. Basically, really really far.

　　Even rus.h.i.+ng along at full speed would take several months at least.

　　Zhou Yuan stared at the map. It was likely that practically every outstanding genius was already on their way to the Saint Remains Domain.

　　It would truly be akin to warlords vying for supremacy or a gathering of talented geniuses.

　　But this was exactly why it would be even more marvelous. On the path of the strong, one needed to constantly improve. Weren't the prided geniuses from the various factions the best whetstones for this?

　　Blazing battle l.u.s.t surged out in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

　　After the gray robed elder handed the map to Zhou Yuan, he began to rummage about again in his sleeves. In the end, he fished out a jade tile and threw it to Zhou Yuan.

　　Zhou Yuan hastily caught it. The word 'Cang' had been carved onto the jade tile.
