"Sanskrit, it's not difficult. I can translate it for you."
Sanskrit was nothing to Han Ye, and he quickly translated it for Qin Xuan.
Looking at the text, Qin Xuan suddenly understood.
"The Vatican Four Holy Statues, this combat secret art uses the method of Five Elements mutual generation and overcoming to enhance combat power. It is divided into Metal Statue, Water Statue, Wood Statue, and Fire Statue, taking the meaning of metal generating water, water generating wood, and wood generating fire. Each statue corresponds to a type of hand seal."
What was recorded on this iron plate was the Metal Statue.
"Upon mastering the first layer, the body will be enveloped as if by a golden body, and combat power will directly double."
"Once the Water Statue is mastered, one can use metal generating water to condense a Water Statue. In this situation, combat power will become four times the initial amount!"
"Upon reaching the Wood Statue, it is water generating wood, and combat power increases to eight times. The Fire Statue, however, is a terrifying sixteen times!"
Even though he had known this before, seeing the description with his own eyes still made Qin Xuan somewhat incredulous.
"Why is there no Earth Statue?"
Han Ye looked on hesitantly.
"Among the Five Elements, yellow earth resides in the center. Logically speaking, the Earth Statue should be the strongest. If there were an Earth Statue, combat power might reach thirty-two times."
Han Ye said, somewhat confused.
Qin Xuan, though puzzled, shook his head slightly.
"There should be an Earth Statue, but I don't know if this secret art is inherently incomplete, or if someone deliberately removed the Earth Statue. In any case, it's not seen here."
If there were a fifth Earth Statue, it would be called the Vatican Five Holy Statues.
"Never mind, I only have the Metal Statue in hand right now. Considering too far ahead is pointless."
Qin Xuan stroked his chin, looking at the iron plate.
"Since the Metal Statue is recorded on profound iron, what is the Water Statue recorded on? It couldn't be ten-thousand-year-old cold ice, could it?"
"The other statues must also be recorded on various special materials."
Putting away the iron plate, Qin Xuan looked at a brocade box nearby.
"I wonder what's inside this."
Qin Xuan pondered, then opened the brocade box.
Inside the brocade box was only a tattered silk scroll.
Judging by the yellowed state of the silk scroll, its age should not be short.
"What is this? Why is something so tattered kept in a brocade box?"
Qin Xuan was puzzled. He picked up the silk scroll and took a look.
It was a tattered map. Although dilapidated, its basic outline could still be seen.
"What kind of map is this? Why is it so tattered?"
Qin Xuan was astonished.
Even the nine heavens azure leaf lotus human skin map he had obtained before, while he couldn't recognize the terrain, at least wasn't so tattered.
But this map before him was dilapidated to such an extent.
Moreover, from the level of drawing, this map was very crude, even simple.
"What is this?"
The map before him had no text description and seemed completely incomprehensible.
Picking up the map and looking through the light from the opening, he still found nothing.
Aside from the crude drawings, there was nothing else unique about this map.
"It's not a useless rag, is it?"
Qin Xuan was puzzled. Normally, even a map should have some text on it, right?
But there was no information on it at all.
If this thing was just an ordinary item, then Yang Lin wouldn't have specially put it away, would he?
Qin Xuan couldn't figure it out and shook his head slightly.
"Try to tear it. If the item recorded on it is truly extraordinary, normally, a map cannot be easily torn."
Just then, Han Ye suddenly spoke to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan frowned slightly, then nodded.
Just like the nine heavens azure leaf lotus before, that was made from the human skin of a Sheng Yuan Realm Cultivator.
If it was extraordinary, this map should not be easily damaged.
Looking at the tattered edge of the map, Qin Xuan, though a little strange, still followed suit.
With a strong tear at the map, Qin Xuan's eyes suddenly widened.
With his current physique and strength, he was completely unable to tear the map apart.
"This, it's really not simple!"
Qin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he pulled hard several times.
The seemingly tattered map truly could not be torn apart at all.
This made him even more curious.
"Buzz!"
The Wu Feng Sword moved, and he swung it down hard at the map.
"Thud!"
Although a gash was cut into the ground, the map remained uncut.
Now, Qin Xuan was truly certain that there was nothing wrong with this item.
"Not simple, very not simple indeed."
Qin Xuan smacked his lips, trying several methods, even using lightning.
Even the Purple-Gold Thunder couldn't penetrate the item's defense.
Finally, Han Ye suggested to Qin Xuan.
"Try using Spiritual Fire to see if it can be destroyed. If that doesn't work either, then we can only research and see if there are other methods possible."
The two discussed.
"Of course, if it really starts to burn, you should stop quickly. Don't let it really burn to ashes."
Qin Xuan pointed a finger, and Black Spiritual Fire surged from his fingertip, enveloping the map.
A moment later, the Black Spiritual Fire completely enveloped the map.
"Whoosh!"
The flames instantly intensified. Not only was the map not consumed by the Black Spiritual Fire, but a flash of light also appeared on it instead.
"This is!"
Qin Xuan stared intently at the map, wanting to see the image on it clearly.
As the Spiritual Fire burned brighter and brighter, the map was not only unaffected, but the purple light on it also became brighter and brighter.
"Purple light, what is this thing?"
Qin Xuan looked over excitedly.
There was indeed something on this map.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, all the surrounding Spiritual Fire abruptly surged into the map, being completely swallowed.
And as the Spiritual Fire was swallowed, the light on the map also began to become brighter and brighter.
After a long while, a line of text emerged from a corner of the map.
Han Ye emerged from Qin Xuan's Sea of Consciousness and hurried to look with Qin Xuan.
With the Spiritual Fire swallowed, the originally blurry words on the map also began to become clearer and clearer.
"Nine-Purple Rock Heart Fire"
