Chapter 2596 Frostcloud Sword Empress’s Legacy?
Tia was like a little child eying a treasure and rallying her friends as she briefed them about it. She appeared enthusiastic as she looked at Tanya, causing the latter to be shocked.
"How did you chance upon something like that?" Tanya couldn't help but ask.
It must be known that inheritances at a certain level were also shrouded in the world's mystery, so to peer through the veil to locate them, she could at least understand that she must've expended a massive amount of energy. Moreover, if she wasn't wrong, she felt that the backlash seemed much tamer for this kind of divination.
Davis also had the same doubt. They were now more and more impressed by Tia's boldness and her Karmic Guardian Physique that withstood such backlashes.
"Well, it's difficult to explain." Tia's adorable face took on a frown as though thinking, "I used a divination technique called the Myriad Treasures Acquisition Whisper. The chant gathers energy from the five elements of the world and transforms them into karmic form, which is then indirectly deciphered by us with our comprehension of Karma Laws. Otherwise, the backlash would be more terrific. Some see more, and some see less, but I was clearly able to see him standing before a giant statue of a grand woman with a sword on her waist."
"In front of him was an entrance, and I vaguely saw the word 'inheritance' etched unto it. So I was able to refer from the previous information we got from him to the Frostcloud Sword Empress's inheritance."
"Woah..." Tanya was simply taken aback by Tia's growth.
She had seen her follow by Davis's side, always sticking by Clara as she remained minuscule. But now, she was powerful enough to be able to make a name as a Mystic Diviner for herself.
Starlily was also impressed beyond compare. This inheritance wasn't even on the list of treasures she found, yet from here, she was able to find a way to it. She wondered if this was Tia all along or if she had hidden deep from the start.
If so, she felt that it was frightening in itself as she emulated her Legion Master's way of doing things. Strike while disguising yourself as a harmless person. It was bound to be effective when hit.
Nonetheless, everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Tanya as they felt that this was indeed a great opportunity for her.
An Immortal Emperor who was able to leave a remnant in this restricted space was definitely not an ordinary Immortal Emperor. It was likely that she was either too powerful for the restriction to bind her, or she had found something that enabled her to mitigate the suppressive effect this location had on her.
Once such treasures were found, places like these could become a natural fortress against mighty powers.
"Tanya, Niel Bladeheart is not a man of ordinary fate. Even if his fate is ordinary, he's anything but ordinary. Are you up to the task of defeating him?"
Davis narrowed his eyes at Tanya, causing her to turn to look at him, her brows frowning before she shook her head.
"I'm not confident of defeating him in a sword battle."
But before people could frown, her lips curled into a confident smile.
"However, pertaining to the comprehension of icy Sword Laws, he's not my match."
"On that note, you certainly got an advantage."
Davis smilingly nodded. In terms of cultivation, his Tanya had already surpassed Niel Bladeheart, but his prowess was still high that their prowess would most likely be at the same level. If they fought, the winner was unknown to him, but...
"I'll protect you, so just make sure you win the inheritance if we manage to chance upon its trials."
"Yes! I won't disappoint you!"
If there were trials, it would certainly restrict their cultivation base to be the same. If then, what was required of them to win the trial was their ability to comprehend. In that realm, clearly, Niel Bladeheart had proved himself to be a monster, but in terms of icy Sword Laws, which the Frostcloud Sword Empress was known for, Tanya certainly had the advantage in comprehending such Laws.
Tanya was also getting excited. After all, this was also an opportunity to prove herself worthy of his love, which she had been looking for, so she could formally ask him to marry her.
Even if she had to crawl through, she was determined to defeat Niel Bladeheart to obtain the Frostcloud Sword Empress's Immortal Inheritance.
Moreover, since it was likely a denizen's inheritance, it might not be bound to contain an extreme amount of resources that was prepared for a clan, but each treasure left behind should make eyes turn.
After Tanya calmed down, she turned to look at Tia.
"I owe this to you."
"Hehe~" Tia giggled proudly, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's move!"
Amidst the tens of tunnels present in this intersection, she chose one in the north and entered it. Davis was ready to protect her, but Tia boldly strode through as though she had some inkling that there wasn't anything dangerous in this tunnel.
Meanwhile, Davis began to wonder where his Ellia went. She had joined Mystic Diviner Hailac's group to split and search for treasures, so he wondered if she was already together with Niel Bladeheart or if they had separated.
As for Ellia's safety, he wasn't worried as she had many things to rely on, and right now, she was in disguise, so only if Mystic Diviner Hailac betrayed them would the others come to even know that the disguised woman was Ellia.
But at this moment, Tia suddenly stopped after taking a lot of turns and changing tunnels, pointing at a western tunnel.
"Is that where the treasure is?"
Davis asked, squinting his eyes. However, Tia innocently looked at him and shook her head.
"No, that's below..."
"..."
Everyone couldn't help but freeze as their heads lowered.
Below them was the icy abyss, freezing, and dark. It was shaped like a maw with all the icicles resembling teeth, reminiscent of an ancient beast intending to swallow them whole.
To move to the western tunnel, they had to cross the abyss through a narrow, stretching pass that was enough for one person to pass through at a time. However, that stretching pass spiraled downward into the abyss, and it was unknown where it led to.
One misstep, and they could possibly lose their life.
Davis couldn't help but laugh lightly. That Niel Bladeheart sure was brave to explore this area unknowingly. However, that gall helped him stumble upon the immortal inheritance.
Nonetheless, why would Tia point to the western tunnel?
"Tia, could it be that the western tunnel leads to another entrance below?"
Davis asked, but Tia again shook her head.
"No, walking through this stretching pass below is the only entrance I could see through, but in my divination, I also sensed that we have company from there."
Just as she described, Davis frowned as he began to sense many undulations.
"More people..."
However, his eyes couldn't help but light up before he suddenly rushed off into the distance.
"Wai- husband~"
Natalya worriedly screamed as she saw him pay no attention to his safety as he swiftly flew through the stretching pass. However, he safely made it to the other side in an instant.
His purple-robed fluttered along with his blonde hair from the breeze as his hair fell over his back dramatically when he came to a stop in front of a crimson-robed entourage. In the icy and blue environment, these crimson-robed people appeared extremely conspicuous. They looked arrogant.
However, their faces all changed as they witnessed the purple-robed person appear before them.
"It's you..."
"It's a pleasant surprise, Zenflames."
Davis's smile was wide as a grin as he greeted Egon Zenflame, his sapphire eyes instantly searching for a few others he would like to 'meet'.
