Su Yi tapped the Animal Skin Scroll with his fingertip.
At once, the painted landscape upon it seemed to come alive, undergoing a wondrous transformation. The veins of mountains and rivers wriggled like earthworms, gradually outlining an entirely new image.
At the same time, countless tiny characters emerged across different regions of the image, like annotations on a geomantic map.
The tiny words were simple: "Living path," "Danger," "lethal danger," and "dead end."
When Su Yi looked again at the terrain outlined by the image, his heart jolted. This was unmistakably a map of the outskirts of the Immortal Fall Forbidden Area!
He had ventured into the Immortal Fall Forbidden Area three times in his past life. How could he possibly fail to recognize it?
Most wondrous of all, the terrain map on this Animal Skin Scroll clearly marked which places were Living Paths, which were perilous, and which were Dead Ends!
For instance, one location labeled "lethal danger" resembled a desolate plain crisscrossed by ravines.
Su Yi clearly remembered that when he first entered the Immortal Fall Forbidden Area, he had once stepped into that very plain. There, he encountered a group of utterly terrifying creatures, like the departed souls of gods and devils, capable of effortlessly slaughtering Imperial Zenith Realm cultivators at a whim.
Back then, Su Yi had encountered danger in that plain and nearly lost his life.
Now, seeing that plain marked as a "dead end," Su Yi finally understood just how difficult it had been for him to leave alive back then.
At the same time, Su Yi compared the Animal Skin Scroll in his hand against his experience and knowledge from his past-life expeditions into the Immortal Fall Forbidden Area.
He immediately discovered that the so-called "Living Paths" were in truth also extraordinarily perilous.
