Xiao Yan only stayed at Sand River Shop for a day. After purchasing a detailed map of the Western Wasteland Region, he quickly began his journey once again.
Wind and sand raged in the vast desert. A human figure wearing a black robe walked forward amidst the strong wind. Each time his foot landed, it would sink deeply into the quicksand. As the human figure walked past, there was a row of circular pits behind him. If someone was not in front of them, no one would be able to recognize that these were footprints.
Before the person could walk very far, those footprints were gradually buried by the quicksand. The human figure gradually walked further and further away. The traces that he had walked past also disappeared. It was as though no one had ever appeared here.
After leaving Sand River Shop, Xiao Yan stepped into this vast desert. He did not choose to fly through it. Instead, he slowly walked toward the deeper regions of the desert.
Using Xiao Yan's words, walking was also a kind of training method. Moreover, although his current cultivation had already reached the middle level of the five star Dou Di, the degree of stability of his strength was not as good as before due to the rapid increase in his strength. If he were to blindly raise his cultivation level and forget about his foundation, he, Xiao Yan, would sooner or later fade into the crowd.
Xiao Yan clearly understood that the reason his fighting strength was able to far surpass other experts of the same level was because he had relied on himself to walk step by step on solid ground.
It was just like this yellow sand. Each time his foot landed, it would leave behind a depression. The depth of the depression would change according to the degree of solidification of the sand under his feet. However, after Xiao Yan walked past, those depressions would recover their original appearance.
Although their appearance had recovered, if one were to step on them again, one would discover that the place where one's foot landed was much more solid. It was as though one was stepping on solid ground and was extremely stable.
However, if one were to directly fly through it, even though one would be able to reach their destination earlier, the yellow sand below would still be loose. If one were to step on it one day, no one would know what the quicksand would gradually become. It was likely that one would even sink into it.
On the other hand, Xiao Yan was different. After walking through the path in front of him in a steady manner, this path would only bring him pleasant surprises and convenience when he returned.
Although the construction of this path was perhaps much more difficult and slower than others, what he obtained was similarly much more than others.
There were no shortcuts in this world. Other people's achievements might appear brilliant, but who knew just how much they had to pay under that brilliant glory?
The boundless journey seemed to have no end. It was as if there was no end to this road, and there was no hope to be found. If it was an ordinary person, in such a scorching hot environment, in addition to this boundless desert, they probably wouldn't be able to persist for a day.
However, it was in such a harsh environment that Xiao Yan actually dropped all of his defenses. He only relied on his black robe to withstand the strong wind that came head-on. Even the raging 'Heavenly Flame' in his body had been withdrawn by him.
In other words, the current Xiao Yan was almost completely exposed in the desert. Other than his body of flesh and blood, the current Xiao Yan had nothing else. At the very least, before he used his strength, he was no different from an ordinary person. Under such circumstances, even a Dou Zhe would have the ability to kill him.
The black robe fluttered in the wind and flew in the air like a black flag.
Under the black robe was Xiao Yan's naked upper body. His white skin was exposed to the air. In an instant, the scorching heat was like a flame beating on Xiao Yan's body, causing Xiao Yan to feel a burning pain.
The strong wind that came head-on was not as gentle as he had imagined. Not only did it not bring him the slightest bit of pleasure, it also made the scorching heat around Xiao Yan's body become even more terrifying.
The hard sand became like red-hot steel nails in the strong wind, heavily hitting Xiao Yan's body. It could even be clearly seen that the moment the sand hit Xiao Yan's body, it left behind clear dents.
In the beginning, Xiao Yan's entire body was swiftly drenched in perspiration. However, in the end, not even a drop of perspiration flowed out from Xiao Yan's body. His lips were pale and chapped. His skin and flesh were torn apart. Fresh bright red blood surged out. A fishy sweet smell followed Xiao Yan's breathing and entered his lungs, causing him to swallow it in a dry and hoarse manner.
Under such a merciless blow, even with the strength of Xiao Yan's body, a large area of dense red spots appeared on the surface of his skin. Scarlet blood flowed under the skin. Xiao Yan clenched his teeth and endured the pain with great difficulty.
Until a certain moment, dark red blood flowed out from Xiao Yan's body and quickly condensed into a thin blood scab.
The sand first hit the wounds and mixed into the blood. Then, it changed the blood and condensed together. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan's entire upper body had turned dark red.
The thin blood scab appeared to have covered Xiao Yan's body with a tight-fitting garment. When the sand hit the blood scab, it emitted a fine 'ka ka' sound of collision.
The high temperature burned the thin layer of blood scab until it was as hot as metal. Under the blood scab, Xiao Yan knit his eyebrows together. The blood scab on his forehead immediately broke apart and fell. It was like a piece of porcelain that fell into the yellow sand and was swiftly submerged.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thick white flame rose on the surface of Xiao Yan's body and quickly swept away the high temperature around Xiao Yan's body. The latter's body was finally able to relax at this moment.
After relaxing his body, Xiao Yan did not dare to rest for long. He hurriedly forced his body to sit down. With a thought, the Flame Mantra Qi Method in his body began to circulate. Between heaven and earth, waves of blazing energy gathered towards the Flame Mantra.
At this moment, four hours had finally passed since Xiao Yan had first entered this desert.
Even though it was only four hours, Xiao Yan had experienced incomparably great pain during this period of time.
Without using any power to resist, Xiao Yan admitted that it was impossible for him to survive in this place with just his physical body. To an ordinary person, this place was simply purgatory.
However, it was also precisely because of this that this place was the best place for Xiao Yan to train his physical strength.
In this kind of environment, an ordinary physical body would not be able to adapt. However, Xiao Yan had endured for four hours on his first try. As long as he could endure for longer each time, the toughness of Xiao Yan's body would be greatly strengthened. This would be extremely helpful in actual combat.
Unfortunately, after four hours in this desert, Xiao Yan had almost reached his limit just by relying on his physical body. He had no choice but to temporarily rest. He could only wait until he had recovered to his peak before continuing on his journey.
