Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 908 - 395. Treasure Map Missing, Unexpectedly Obtained

Five years ago, the Ziqing Holy Sect from Hexi arranged a marriage alliance, and Hou Yuxiao escorted Zhao QingXue back from Hedong, passing by Wanglong Mountain where they were intercepted by Fahai. If Lin Xuangan hadn't appeared, using his 'Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors' technique to protect Hou Yuxiao while also setting up Leiyin Temple and severely injuring Shi Tian, then honestly, the subsequent downfall of Leiyin Temple and Hexi's unification of half of the province wouldn't have happened.

Although Zhao QingXue doesn't acknowledge Lin Xuangan as her father, Hou Yuxiao is nonetheless grateful to him as his father-in-law.

Shi Tian has lived for thousands of years, becoming extremely shrewd with age. He clearly saw through Lin Xuangan's 'Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors' trick. The treasure map was divided into nine parts, with nine Holy Lands in the world, yet Leiyin Temple went ahead and seized a piece, blatantly offending all the major Holy Lands, but he still proceeded.

Why?

This only proves that the treasure map of the Divine Sect was so valuable that even though Shi Tian knew it was Lin Xuangan's deadly scheme, he still willingly stepped into the trap.

A Martial Dao Saint, risking severe injury and death, and facing the threat of his sect's destruction, insisted on acquiring the item. What kind of magic could it possess?

The key is, in the end, Leiyin Temple really did fall.

Shi Tian's Soldier Solution, Fahai's submission, naturally, the ninth piece of the Divine Sect's treasure map ended up in the hands of the Rakshasa Holy Sect, no, it should now be called the New Moon Cult Chief, Sikong Yue.

In the treasury of the Divine Sect, what could possibly be there, that caused Shi Tian—a fox who had lived for several thousand years—to lose his mind?

At this very moment, Hou Yuxiao is about to find out.

Emperor of Jin Yuwen Dongdu gently stretched out his hand, and eight glistening fragments floated in his palm. Then Sikong Yue also extended his hand, presenting the last piece that had been in Shi Tian's hand to Emperor Yuwen Dongdu.

The nine fragments revolved in Emperor Yuwen's hand for several weeks, seemingly sensing each other's presence. They first emitted waves of divine aura, then the nine pieces slowly gathered in the center, fitting together one after another. Before long, a small square seal about the size of a palm took shape.

"May I ask Ancestor Wei, what is the history of the Divine Sect's treasury?"

Hou Yuxiao directly asked outright, causing all the Saints on the viewing stands, including the Wuwei King, to turn their heads toward him.

"In the Great Yu Calendar year 2832, the Divine Sect suddenly perished..."

He was asking Wei Xuheng, but it was Meng Qu who answered him, causing Hou Yuxiao to pause in surprise and look up at Meng Qu, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned the Divine Sect's perishing.

"There are many speculations regarding the Divine Sect's sudden demise, the most widely circulated being that, just before dying, the Divine Sect comprehended the path to breakthrough the Saints, violating a forbidden taboo and being punished by the heavens, leading to death and the end of his path."

Breakthrough the Saints... the path!

Hou Yuxiao's expression froze, his pupils suddenly constricted.

The Martial Dao Saint is universally recognized as the highest level of cultivation in this world.

Breaking through the Saints path means there is another realm beyond the Martial Dao Saint.

This, how could it be?

"Immortal and indestructible, corresponding to the top three ranks of demons, yet for Martial Artists, only Sub-saints and Saints exist. So what accounts for the ninth-grade division of demons if there has never been a Martial Artist equivalent to the First Rank of demons in Shenzhou before?"

So not only Hou Yuxiao but tens of thousands of Martial Arts experts at the headquarters were all stunned upon hearing Wei Xuheng's words, instinctively turning their heads to look at him.

"So the answer is, there has been, and rumor has it the Divine Sect has already found that path, but unfortunately failed for unknown reasons, and perished!"

"May I ask Ancestor Wei, then what about the treasure house of the Divine Sect?"

"The Divine Sect treasure house is rumored to be a batch of valuable restoration items left by the Divine Sect foreseeing the decline of the Great Yu Dynasty's fortune, including armaments and a massive amount of Mysterious Gold. Another more credible rumor is that the treasury was once the Yu Shenzong's place of passing!"

The place of Yu Shenzong's... passing...

Hou Yuxiao has now realized why these leaders of Holy Lands are so obsessed with the Divine Sect treasure map, even to the extent that Shi Tian could ignore the fall of Leiyin Temple to forcibly seize that fragment.

Yu Shenzong—it was nearly two thousand years ago that he was undoubtedly the top figure in Shenzhou.

Throughout the thirteen provinces of the world, and beyond the four seas, all belonged to the Divine Dynasty's territory. Describing the peaks of the Great Yu Dynasty era as wealthy beyond measure is insufficient. Not just four seas and eight wildernesses, even cosmic rare treasures and gems were all possessed by Yu Shenzong. Moreover, he died suddenly, and all of his possessions remain.

Besides, he died during the process of breaking the Saints.

His place of passing could very likely contain the secrets of breaking the Saints!

The path to break through the Saints is irresistible for Martial Dao Saints around the world. No, not just Saints, but anyone who practices martial arts, regardless of their cultivation level, cannot resist its allure.

Even Hou Yuxiao turned his gaze, staring at the nine slowly merging treasure map fragments in Yuwen Dongdu's hand, with a hint of greed involuntarily flashing in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, Hou Yuxiao would never dare to court death by doing such things. After all, that's Emperor Yuwen Dongdu—even if he had any thoughts, he wouldn't be so brazen. But the allure of breaking the Saints' path is far too captivating for him.

But it's alright; many others share his feelings.

At present, even among the tens of thousands of experts standing on the high platform—ranging from Martial Dao Saints to Great Grandmasters of the Heavenly Rank—almost without exception, all reacted just as he did. So even if Yuwen Dongdu wanted to intervene, he wouldn't have the presence of mind to do so.

"Brother Yuwen, aren't we still missing someone?"

Suddenly, Meng Qu, at the front row of the viewing platform, opened his mouth to inquire.
