Zhaang Ye spent a day bringing himself to peak condition. He then took out a tattered map and studied it closely. This was the very map he had acquired from the Ping Mountain Black Market; it not only marked the location of the Spatial Array but also detailed a path leading into it. If all went well, Zhaang Ye would only need to follow this path to enter the Ancient Space Array.
It was precisely because of this map that Zhaang Ye dared to approach the Ancient Space Array.
After silently memorizing the map, Zhaang Ye put it away. Just as he was about to head for the mountain peak, he suddenly heard a sharp, piercing shriek. Startled, Zhaang Ye looked up to see a massive Fire Crow shrieking madly in the sky, dozens of miles away. Its enormous body seemed to be devoured by something as it vanished, piece by piece.
