" We know you're in possession of a map." During the Battle of Singapore, Will made a deal with Feng that procured Barbossa's crew the chart, leading them to World's End and Davy Jones' Locker beyond. The chart was moved to Feng's bath house after Will Turner tried to steal it for Hector Barbossa. He was also known to carry it on his back when using them for navigation.
The map was later stored in the temple of Sao Feng's wizened uncle, as Feng did not want the salty air of his waterfront lair to damage the chart's delicate pigmentation. Wouldn't it be amazing if this venture of yours took you to the world beyond this one?" ― Hector Barbossa, Sao Feng and Elizabeth Swann Because earlier this day, not far from here, a thief broke into my most revered uncle's temple and tried to make off with these. "Because you happen to have a ship and a crew you don't need?" " I've a venture underway and I find myself in need of a ship and a crew." The map would be passed down from generation to generation.Īt World's End Obtaining the charts There were rings on the map that were symbolic of lands that can only be accessed through dreams.

After Will Turner attempted to steal them, Feng would have given the charts to Hector Barbossa and his crew, who would take the route to the Farthest Gate. The map would later be owned by the Pirate Lord of Singapore, Sao Feng. Originally given to the esteemed and great navigator Wu Ling, who was known for going on various journeys to the mysterious gates of the afterlife, this map was prized above all other charts.
With no fixed points, this chart was the only guide that took into account the role of chance, fate and the supernatural in mortal affairs. The Mao Kun Map, sometimes referred as the navigational charts or the Map to the Land of the Dead, was the map used to locate some of the world's more obscure and mystical places. But it leads to more places." ― Will Turner and Tai Huang These can't be as accurate as modern charts."
