Despite its small size, only about thirty zhang in diameter, it was intricately detailed. Zhao An leaned in closer to examine the map in Yun Yi's hands: it was indeed very detailed, resembling a view from the heavens. However, this small map seemed limited.
Yun Yi nodded in agreement: "That's true, but it is far from just that."
"Hmm?" Zhao An looked puzzled.
"It can be upgraded."
"Upgraded?" Zhao An asked, intrigued.
Yun Yi elaborated: "This map starts at a basic level. By infusing it with specific items and magical energy, it can be upgraded."
With that, he pulled out an Iron Anvil from his bag. He placed the old map inside the Iron Anvil and set eight blank sheets of paper beside it. In an instant, a complete and higher-level map appeared before them.
However, Yun Yi did not immediately take out the map; instead, he continued with the next round of upgrades. It wasn't until he had elevated the map to the second level that he carefully retrieved it.
This action sparked intense curiosity in Zhao An. When he saw the retrieved map, he was astonished to find that its displayed area had indeed expanded significantly. It not only covered the entire Zhao Jia Village but also extended into a wide open space beyond the village.
Zhao An exclaimed in awe, "Good heavens, this map is simply a divine artifact!"
Yun Yi chuckled in response, "It's still far from its full potential; this map has another remarkable feature."
"Oh? What kind of feature?"
Zhao An asked with great anticipation.
It could reflect any changes in its vicinity in real-time.
Faced with such a statement, Zhao An felt somewhat confused:
Are you saying that this map can automatically update according to the actual situation?
Though he had begun to grasp the meaning behind it, he still found it hard to believe.
Yun Yi revealed a meaningful smile, not immediately providing an answer, but instead suggested that Zhao An pay attention to the current scene displayed on the map.
Then, he casually picked up some soil blocks and arranged them into a line on the ground with a light wave of his hand.
Afterward, he handed them back to Zhao An for inspection.
Zhao An examined them closely and couldn't help but gasp; the map truly replicated that row of soil blocks!
At this moment, Zhao An realized that such a magical map was undoubtedly invaluable for strategic command, especially when an army advanced into unfamiliar territory. Traditional methods often relied on the personal experience and judgment of commanders, which could lead to situations like that of the ancient general Li Guang, who bravely led his soldiers into battle but ultimately got lost and couldn't find his way back.
Having such a tool could completely solve this troublesome issue.
Filled with endless longing, Zhao An asked, "Esteemed one, is it difficult to create such a map?"
Yun Yi smiled and nodded, saying, "It's very simple. As long as you have enough materials, you can possess multiple copies of such treasures."
Zhao An felt a rush of excitement and marveled at how this esteemed figure was indeed extraordinary. Even a casual invention could have a tremendous impact on the battlefield.
Just as Zhao An was carefully examining the map in his hands, he unexpectedly noticed an area at the top of the map that had been left blank.
"Esteemed one, why is this section empty?" Zhao An asked in confusion.
Yun Yi glanced at the blank area and replied that it was the region north of the Hutuo River. "I drew this map based on my own experiences," he explained, "so places I haven't reached cannot be represented."
To resolve Zhao An's confusion, Yun Yi personally created an identical map of the same level and handed it to him.
"Try using it yourself," he said.
"Is it really possible?" Zhao An asked, a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Yes, just leave it to you," came the reply.
Zhao An gingerly took the precious item from Zhang Bao, afraid that he might accidentally damage it. However, after observing it repeatedly, he began to grasp the secret of its use. Feeling slightly awkward, he turned to Yun Yi for help.
"Respectfully, I don't know how to activate it," he admitted.
Yun Yi patiently instructed him, "You just need to hold the map and silently recite the phrase in your mind."
In an instant, Zhao An understood. He immediately followed the guidance, holding the map with both hands, his expression serious as he silently repeated the words in his mind: "Become a map, become a map."
Finally, at the moment he opened his eyes again, he witnessed his own creation—a vibrant map that belonged to him. What had once been a blank sheet was now filled with colors.
This map was strikingly similar to the one in Yun Yi's hands; they were almost identical. Yet, upon closer inspection, one could notice a subtle difference. In Yun Yi's created map, some areas remained blank, while Zhao An's map was complete.
