?1420 Basement
After spending a moment staring at the gruesome scene before him, Yuan released a deep sigh before turning around and walking out of the room.
He walked back downstairs until he reached the basement. A thick cloud of dust smacked into Yuan's face when he opened the basement door, but he reacted quickly enough to block it.
Upon walking down the staircase that creaked with every step, Yuan arrived at a small room that he'd visited before during a trial within the Stairway to Heaven.
The room seemed empty at first glance besides the obvious dust covering every inch of the place, but Yuan approached one of the walls in a manner that suggested something was there.
He closed his eyes and stood there in silence. A few moments later, he muttered a few inaudible words. A profound ripple swept the room in response, revealing a red portal standing right in front of Yuan.
After seeing this portal, Yuan walked into it without any hesitation.
Another world existed on the other side of the portal. It was a pitch-black world without any light—so dark that Yuan wouldn't be able to see his own hand even if he waved it in his face.
Divine sense was also useless in this abyss, or rather, unavailable, as Yuan's cultivation base was sealed the moment he entered, almost as though the darkness had consumed it all.
He didn't even bother trying to summon his alchemy flames to light up the place because he knew that it would be a futile effort.
Despite having zero visibility and his cultivation base sealed, Yuan calmly walked forward with precise and calm strides, occasionally turning at a specific angle.
Xiao Hua was quite curious about their location, but she didn't want to disturb Yuan, who was immersed in his memories, following a path that led him to his destination.
After fifteen minutes of constant movement, Yuan's view turned from absolute darkness to a fully lit room that was the exact size as his basement room.
However, the room was immaculate and without a speck of dust. Moreover, there were three items displayed at the end of the room.
Yuan approached the three items with a sense of nostalgia washing over him.
There was an old silver spear, a damaged black chest armor, and a pair of worn-out black boots.
These three items were worn by Tian Xian back when he was still known as the God of War, experiencing more battles than even the most veteran soldiers nowadays. Despite their worn-
out appearances, they still exuded a profound aura that surpasses even Divine-grade treasures.

Yuan stored these two of these three treasures in his spatial ring, wearing the Stygian Boots immediately.
Although he already has a spear, Silver Victory's prowess vastly surpassed the Dragon's Soul in its current form in terms of raw power. The only advantage Dragon's Soul had over Silver Victory would be its unique effect that ignores spiritual energy. Unless he encountered an enemy he could not harm normally, such as Bai Xutao, Silver Victory would serve him better.
As for the armor, he finally had something to replace the Invisible Dragon's Cloak, which had served him long enough. Moreover, his naked body alone, strengthened by the Golden Immortal Physique, could endure attacks from Divine Warriors, making the Invisible Dragon's Cloak even more obsolete.
However, the Stygian Boosts are arguably the best of the three treasures for Yuan, as treasures that increase one's movement speed are exceedingly rare and sought-after. Furthermore, it also protected him from many movement restrictions, such as formations that could slow down one's movement.
In a fight between two equally skilled and powerful fighters, the one with the superior speed usually comes out as the victor, hence why anything that could boost one's movement speed is worth a fortune.
"That elaborate room before this one was only meant to hide these three treasures?" Xiao Hua couldn't help but ask.
Yuan nodded, "This room was meant to be a safe shelter for my wife, but it ended up becoming a storage…"
"Huh? Brother Yuan's wife?" Xiao Hua muttered in a dazed voice.
"My previous life… I had a wife and a child… Unfortunately, I was unable to protect them. They were assassinated while I was busy with the enemy." Yuan sighed, not hiding one of his darkest moments in history.
Yuan closed his eyes, recalling the events that led up to that tragic incident.
Tian Xian lived a rough childhood from the moment of his birth. He was abandoned shortly after birth and left in the wilderness as food for the wild beasts. If a passing mountain bandit hadn't found him and decided to raise him, that would've been the end of everything.
Yet, against all odds, Tian Xian managed to survive.
