Chapter 2064: Is There a Supreme Treasure Inside?
Chapter 2064: Chapter 2064: Is There a Supreme Treasure Inside?
Xiao Yi paused his steps, turned around, and flashed to stand in front of Xia Canglan.
"Senior Xia, could you tell me about this Heavenly Sand Secret Realm?" Xiao Yi cupped his hands and asked.
Xia Canglan, who appeared to be middle-aged.
But he was clearly an Old Monster, having accompanied him all the way, secretly protecting him.
Calling him senior seemed appropriate.
As for the matter of this Heavenly Sand Secret Realm.
To speak of it, Xiao Yi only now knew the name of this Secret Realm.
But about the other hidden secrets of this Secret Realm, he knew nothing at all.
He planned to return once more for his own reasons.
Xia Canglan looked at Xiao Yi and nodded heavily, "You youngster, daring to charge in without knowing anything."
"Well then, I’ll tell you clearly so you can understand what kind of place this Heavenly Sand Secret Realm is."
In Xia Canglan’s view, once Xiao Xun understood the dangers of the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm, he would surely retreat.
Xia Canglan slowly began, "This Heavenly Sand Secret Realm is a famously yet extremely secretly ominous place in the Central Region."
"It’s called famous because experts of my level, along with a few Old Monsters who’ve lived long enough, know about this place and dread it immensely, never daring to set foot inside."
"It’s called secret because even Legendary Experts like Xie Wudao and Tu Qianqiu, and most other Legendary Experts, don’t even qualify to know of this place."
"Ominous place?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow slightly.
He had entered quite a few Secret Realms.
And these Secret Realms were no less dangerous.
But, this Heavenly Sand Secret Realm is the first he has heard being called an ’ominous place’.
Xia Canglan nodded, "You’ve experienced the dangers inside."
"Unpredictable, changing with every breath."
"The entire Heavenly Sand Secret Realm is covered in yellow sands spreading over eighty million miles, its depth fearsome."
"Staying inside, one might find it calm one moment, but in the next, Kuang Feng may suddenly rise, and within mere breaths, the winds could form a towering storm."
"By the time Martial Artists react, they might already find themselves in unfathomable danger, with no way out."
"I’ll speak plainly, someone like Xie Wudao with Fifty Thousand Dao, even if he’s incredibly lucky to never encounter any sand snakes."
"Those unpredictable Kuang Feng and flying sands alone could render him without a burial ground."
"Imagine, if you add in those endless sand snakes, even a Six Thousand Dao Expert would face inevitable death, nine deaths for every life."
Xia Canglan’s tone grew more solemn, "Even for me, entering the realm, unless truly fortunate, if luck runs out, might hardly escape with life."
"The Heavenly Sand Two Monsters and those sand snakes are all lethal threats."
For Xia Canglan, the first Sword Cultivator of the Ice Emperor Palace, to utter the word ’lethal’, the dangers within the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm are self-evident.
Xiao Yi furrowed his brow further and continued to ask, "How exactly did such an ominous place come to be?"
"I heard from the Heavenly Sand Two Monsters that it is their place?"
Eighty million miles is already a quite vast area.
A single region, counting the barren lands, is merely around ten million miles.
Even those famed regions, vast and astonishing, are just about twenty million miles or so.
At this moment, Xia Canglan shook his head calmly, with light flashing in his hand, producing a scoop of yellow sand.
This scoop of yellow sand was precisely the strange yellow sand within the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm.
"How the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm was formed, no one knows."
"I don’t know, perhaps not even Senior Tianji knows, neither do the two Masters of the Main Hall. Perhaps someone knows, but I asked him, he never said."
"Anyway, from what I know, the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm has been around for ages, probably older than the Sword Emperor Stele and ancient before those ancient existences."
"In terms of age of existence in the Central Region, only the most ancient, Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, might surpass it."
"Whether it is born of heaven and earth, or man-made, remains unknown, but I lean towards the former, as being born of heaven and earth."
"After all, such an ominous place, human forces can hardly create."
While speaking, Xia Canglan glanced at the yellow sand in his hand, "Originally, no one knew the name of this Secret Realm."
"But the yellow sands inside, known as Heavenly Sand."
"It’s quite peculiar, ordinary yellow sand is light and weightless, found everywhere."
"Yet Heavenly Sand, even a single grain weighs a thousand pounds, its density astonishing, hence called Heavenly Sand."
"These Heavenly Sands can even be used to refine artifacts."
Xia Canglan paused, pondering for a moment, "Originally, the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm only had those ancient sand snakes."
"The strength of those sand snakes you’ve encountered is nothing like regular demon beasts."
"Those sand snakes all possess Ancient Bloodlines, an ancient species."
"And approximately hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Sand Two Monsters found the place, then directly claimed it, staying for hundreds of thousands of years."
"Since then, the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm allowed no Martial Artists to tread, enter, and die without exception."
"I see." Xiao Yi nodded and shook his head.
Originally thinking the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm belonged to the Heavenly Sand Two Monsters.
Invading someone’s territory, causing chaos, inflicting carnage, inciting the murderous intent of the Heavenly Sand Two Monsters.
It seems now the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm isn’t truly Sha Tongtian’s or anyone else’s belonging, they are merely the ’kings of the mountain’.
Xia Canglan continued, "I heard that Sha Tongtian and the two were originally at a standard level."
"By rights, years down the line, their lifespan should be over, fallen."
"But precisely because of the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm, their cultivation accelerated, skyrocketing to their current turbulent cultivation, turning into today’s Heavenly Sand Two Monsters."
"Of course." Xia Canglan proudly added, "Though the Heavenly Sand Two Monsters are strong, in that person’s presence, they are mere ants to be crushed."
That person?
"Senior Luoo?" Xiao Yi continually heard the term ’that person’, directly asking.
"Correct." Xia Canglan nodded.
Xiao Yi chuckled lightly, "I think Senior Luoo’s personality rather resembles the Heavenly Sand Two Monsters."
"Capricious, moody, what they possess, they claim as theirs, extremely domineering."
Xia Canglan’s face turned cold, "Rubbish, the Heavenly Sand Two Monsters cannot be compared to that person."
"Young lad, don’t speak recklessly without discerning the heights of heaven and earth."
Xiao Yi felt slightly embarrassed.
It seemed Xia Canglan evidently held great respect for Senior Luoo.
"Inside, is there a Supreme Treasure?" Xiao Yi asked finally.
"Yes."
"No."
Two contradictory answers emerged simultaneously.
It was Xia Canglan who said ’Yes’, blurting it out.
It was Xie Wudao who said ’No’, his face filled with anxiety, glaring at Xia Canglan.
"Is there or is there not?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.
"Yes."
"No."
Once again, the same replies.
Xia Canglan glanced displeased at Xie Wudao, "Yes means yes, plain and simple."
Xie Wudao glared at Xia Canglan, "Be quiet."

First update.
