Why exactly she cared so much about this brief connection between them, Tian Chan herself did not know. In times past, she would surely have killed Wei Zhao; but now, such a thought did not arise in her.
"Never mind, let us not speak of it." Tian Chan's silence left Wei Zhao somewhat taken aback, but he did not press her. Even if she would not say, he had mostly guessed her origins; if she truly came from the Five Luminaries Sect, concealing her sect was only natural. "By the way, then why did you come to these Five Baleful Mountains?"
"I came... to do something particular," Tian Chan said.
"And did you succeed?" Wei Zhao asked.
"I do not know yet..." Tian Chan shook her head, and thinking of what had happened before, she seemed somewhat lost.
Wei Zhao knew the two of them were not well acquainted; even though he had saved Tian Chan's life, she might not tell him the truth, might not reveal her purpose here. After all, Wei Zhao suspected that Tian Chan might have come to receive an inheritance.
But if what Leader Bai had said was true, the inheritance of origin power differed from the inheritance of insight: in each inheritance of origin power, only one person could succeed—and since he had succeeded, Tian Chan must have failed.
In that case, Tian Chan's earlier preparations had handed Wei Zhao a windfall. If Tian Chan knew that Wei Zhao had received the inheritance, would she be so enraged as to kill him? At this thought, Wei Zhao resolved not to pursue the topic further—otherwise, once Tian Chan grasped the truth, he would be in danger.
After all, Leader Bai had also said that to receive the inheritance of origin power, one had to make a series of complex preparations. Tian Chan had likely made those preparations earlier, and now had likely failed—only she herself did not yet know it.
As for Wei Zhao, had the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art not suddenly broken through to the second layer of great perfection, he would hardly have believed he had received the inheritance—for on the surface, there was no telling whether one had received it or not.
"How do we get out of here? This cliff is truly too high—how are we to climb up?" Wei Zhao suddenly thought of the most important question: how the two of them were to leave this place.
"Ah?" At Wei Zhao's reminder, Tian Chan looked up and only then realized their predicament. A flicker of worry crossed her eyes; she glanced around, and the worry on her face deepened. After a while, she said, "We... seem unable to get up there!"
"Unable to get up?" Wei Zhao was startled, and his heart turned cold. He had considered this problem before, but he had thought: Tian Chan was an expert of peak late Heaven-rank strength—if he could not climb up, that did not mean Tian Chan could not.
