At the end of the passageway lay a misty world, the entire space filled with white fog. As Xiao Yan Xiao Yan and his companions arrived, the fog in front of them automatically spread to both sides, and a path constructed from floating stone platforms appeared before them.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan, please."
Looking at the scene before him with surprise, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. At that moment, a faint laugh came from Tian Ying beside him.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled politely, then began to walk slowly forward.
A moment later, as the clouds and mist dissipated, a magnificent palace appeared deep within this space. The entire palace looked imposing and awe-inspiring.
After the group entered the main hall, they still couldn't find Murong Qianqian. She must have gone elsewhere. The group smiled helplessly at this. Yan Shi, due to his injuries, had temporarily left with Xiong Gang. In the empty hall, only Xiao Yan and Tian Ying remained in the blink of an eye.
"Hehe, may I ask, Mr. Xiao Yan, is your reason for crossing the Xilin Mountain Range to reach the Western Wilderness Region?"
As soon as the two sat down, Tian Ying smiled and asked Xiao Yan again.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled, but did not deny it. He nodded and replied:
"Indeed, my purpose in crossing the Xilin Mountain Range is to reach the Western Wilderness Region."
Tian Ying nodded and continued:
"I've heard that the Western Wilderness Region is the most chaotic place in the Western Region; of course, it's also a treasure trove."
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He only knew that it was a place for cultivation, but judging from Tian Ying's gaze, it seemed that it was not just about that.
"Judging from this, Brother Tian Ying seems to know quite a bit about the Western Wilderness Region."
"Hehe, I also went to the Western Wilderness Region in my early years. I must say, it is indeed a treasure land for cultivation. Although it is a bit dangerous, that is precisely why it is so fascinating. After all, true powerhouses are forged in the crucible of blood and flesh, not simply by cultivating in peace."
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement with Tian Ying's words. Since he began cultivating, it had always been the same. He had seen far too many scions of noble families who, despite their achievements in cultivation, ultimately failed to achieve great things without the tempering of battle.
After all, even the finest piece of jade cannot become a perfect ornament without polishing, and the same is true for people.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan is young and promising, that much I need not say. But there is one point I wonder if Mr. Xiao Yan understands: when I say that the Western Wilderness Region is a treasure land, I am not only referring to it as a treasure land for cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the stone chair, straightened up slightly. He didn't know much about the Western Wilderness Region, so it would be good if he could learn something from Tian Ying Xiao Yan.
"I won't say much more about other matters. After all, the Western Wilderness Region is a mixed bag, and I can't say for sure about anything, so I can't explain much to Mr. Xiao Yan. However, Mr. Xiao Yan should already know about the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb, right?"
"Well..."
Upon hearing the topic related to himself, Xiao Yan's expression paused slightly, and he felt a little disappointed. If it was just this kind of thing, then he probably didn't need to know anything about it. After all, since the discovery of the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb, no one knew any specific information about it. So even if Tian Ying told Xiao Yan something now, it would probably just be some information that he already knew from the outside world.
" The Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb, huh? Who in the Western Region doesn't know about it...?"
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Yan's newly ignited interest was immediately extinguished.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao Yan doesn't seem to think I can bring you any different information, haha..."
Just then, Tian Ying, who was sitting opposite Xiao Yan, smiled slightly, staring at Xiao Yan with a sly look in his eyes, his gaze shifting with a strange light.
"Hmm?! Could it be that Brother Tian Ying knows something else?"
Upon hearing Tian Ying's laughter, Xiao Yan immediately raised his gaze and shot it towards the other party. At the same time, a ripple appeared in his usually calm eyes. If that were the case, Xiao Yan would never let go of even the smallest matter.
"Hehe, I did obtain some information about the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb by chance. Of course, I can't confirm whether it's true or false. But for such things, anyone would rather believe it than not, so I wrote it down."
Tian Ying lowered his head slightly, frowning as he pondered.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this, listening carefully to every word Tian Ying said, not daring to miss the slightest detail.
After all, this was information about the cave dwelling of a powerful expert in the Origin Return Realm, so how could Xiao Yan dare to be careless and listen to it?
"Based on what I learned that time, after creating his cave dwelling, before his death, Venerable Heavenly Severing sealed away his life's cultivation as a legacy, dividing it into three parts and placing them in the three main halls within the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb."
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yan's eyes immediately lit up, and he became energetic. Xiao Yan had no doubt that if he could obtain the inheritance of the Origin Return Realm expert, he would be able to break through to the Dou Di level in a very short time!
The temptation is undeniably great!
Seeing the look of surprise on Xiao Yan's face, Tian Ying smiled, shook his head slightly, and then continued:
"Each of these three main halls is surrounded by a seal, and these seals are extremely special. They can only be opened using the three signature techniques of the Venerable Heavenly Severing. If anyone attempts to forcibly break the seal with external force, the resulting inheritance within, along with other treasures, will be destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan not only failed to smile, but also frowned. If that were really the case, he would inevitably become the target of everyone's criticism!
After all, two of the three signature techniques of the Venerable Heavenly Severing in the hands of those two sects. Ordinary experts would naturally not dare to easily oppose them. If that were the case, Xiao Yan would have to be present if they wanted to break the seal. Even without the Four Great Sects, Xiao Yan would still have countless enemies standing in front of him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to shake his head, Tian Ying spoke again. This time, as Tian Ying finished speaking, Xiao Yan's expression changed once more.
