Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Just as Xia Yunqiu said, although this Mountain and River Map could be called a Human Path magical treasure, it wasn't of much help to Shen Yuan, who is now capable of suppressing the present world.

The human Imperial Dynasty has declined several times over ten thousand years, and even with humanity fate suppressing it, at most, it's only equivalent to a slightly special Taoist artifact.

However, what Shen Yuan valued was definitely not this current Mountain and River Map.

Now that humanity fate was in decline and unable to exert the full capabilities of the Mountain and River Map, but if taken back to ten thousand years ago, the result would be different.

Ten thousand years ago, the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty was in its most prosperous period in tens of thousands of years. The Mountain and River Map, though not forged by the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty, contained the Human Path's context and the world's mountains and rivers without any deception.

Placed ten thousand years ago, it still qualifies as an authentic Human Path magical treasure and could even exert an even greater power by leveraging the humanity fate of the peak human Imperial Dynasty.

Especially since Shen Yuan had prepared to stand against Great Yin's Mortal Emperor with his own Human Path grand strategy.

If the timing was right, Shen Yuan could completely use the Human Path grand strategy from ten thousand years ago to further advance the Mountain and River Map and refine it into the Human Path Treasure, Mountains, Rivers and Grain God Map.

In doing so, Shen Yuan would have a means to counter the Human Path Treasure, Mortal Emperor Sword of Great Yin's Mortal Emperor. Naturally, he would be more confident facing the deadly situations of ten thousand years past.

The gift presented by Xia Yunqiu was undoubtedly like sending coal in snowy weather to Shen Yuan, which naturally satisfied him a great deal.

With his left hand gently stroking the pale golden scroll, Shen Yuan felt the rhythm of the Mountain and River Map that almost formed a Square Inch World on its own, and vaguely, he seemed to gain some enlightenment.

"It seems that the mountains and rivers contained within the Mountain and River Map are not just for show, but are formed from the spiritual manifestations of all the mountains and rivers in the Great Xia Territory."

Even if only a wisp is taken from each mountain and river, when applied to the entire territory of Great Xia, it's an extremely terrifying number.

Such an undertaking could probably only be accomplished by the Great Xia Dynasty in its decline, and those peak human Imperial Dynasties might not even have the opportunity to forge such a Human Path magical treasure."

A wisp of the spirit of the mountains and rivers isn't much, but the amount needed to cast the Mountain and River Map is indeed too great.

Extracting the spirit of the mountains and rivers on such a large scale could lead to a decrease in Spirit Energy concentration within the territory, and the dynasty's fortune could also decline to some extent. In addition, during the extraction process, it's inevitable to involve those with grotto heavens sacred grounds and Dragon Palace Divine Systems, and conflicts with the spirits of great rivers and mountains are unavoidable.

Even if one could overcome various difficulties and forcibly cast the Mountain and River Map, it's just a human path magical treasure. To transform into a Human Path Treasure, it still needs to be nourished by the Human Path grand strategy.

This leads to the common human Imperial Dynasties being unable to nurture a Human Path Treasure, nor may they be able to subdue the various powers within famous mountains and rivers to forge the Mountain and River Map.

A peak Human Emperor Dynasty does not lack items that can nurture a Human Path Treasure, and paying such a price just to forge a treasure prototype is not worthwhile.

However, the Great Xia Dynasty, which has declined to this point, managed to deter various forces with Shen Yuan's help, and thus has met the conditions to forge the Mountain and River Map. It has to be said that this is an unexpected development.

With a hint of astonishment in his heart, Shen Yuan temporarily put the Mountain and River Map into his Square Inch World. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

Seeing that the satisfaction on Shen Yuan's face wasn't feigned, Xia Yunqiu felt privately elated.

Earlier, when Shen Yuan exterminated many Demons' Realms, Xia Yunqiu realized that Shen Yuan's help for the Great Xia Dynasty was limited, and the dynasty couldn't possibly seek one-sided help from Shen Yuan endlessly.

To tie the Great Xia Dynasty to Shen Yuan, Xia Yunqiu knew she had to leverage the dynasty's inherent value.

Sensing that Shen Yuan also harbored a Human Path grand strategy, Xia Yunqiu perused the Imperial Family's archives for the method to forge the Human Path magical treasure Mountain and River Map, arranging for the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's Superintendent to tour the Great Xia Territory and forge this map.

This was a significant bet placed by Xia Yunqiu at the expense of Great Xia's foundation. If it failed to meet Shen Yuan's liking, not only would countless resources be wasted, but Shen Yuan would fail to see the value of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Fortunately, she bet correctly!

Just as Xia Yunqiu was about to speak further, a large Maine Coon cat with a little black cat on its head leisurely stepped into the courtyard from the doorway.

Behind the two cats, a cool figure slowly entered, with the shadow of Taiyin Moonshine looming behind her as she walked, as if a Moon Palace Fairy had descended to the mortal realm.

Upon seeing Shen Yuan, joy melted through the frost on her delicate features, and she bowed to Shen Yuan.

"Buyu pays her respects to her master!"

The comer was none other than Gong Buyu.

"There's no need for such formalities between us, disciple," said Shen Yuan, seeing his own personally coached disciple, his face couldn't help but reveal a smile.

He had always been very satisfied with this simple-natured senior disciple of his.

Shen Yuan had learned from Xia Yunqiu that in his years of absence, Xia Yunqiu had mostly been in charge of looking after his family in Wenn City, until she had a breakthrough in her cultivation realm two years ago and returned to Rongcheng's Fine Jade Grotto Heavens.

As his gaze passed over Gong Buyu's aura, Shen Yuan was surprised to find that Gong Buyu's cultivation had already reached the Void Refining Stage, and her Moon Extraction Divine Skill had entered a very deep level.

This discovery far exceeded Shen Yuan's expectations, causing his expression to turn somewhat grave.

He had long known that Gong Buyu had exceptional talent and possessed the grand strategy of Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, her cultivation realm advancing at breakneck speed, even potentially surpassing those once-in-millennia geniuses.

But even with rapid cultivation, there should be limits--even those peak Grotto Heavens Sacred Land sacred sages only broke into the Return-to-Void Great True Being Stage around the age of a hundred.
