Chapter 344 Discussing the Heavenly Tomb
Chapter 344 Discussing the Heavenly Tomb
Under the blue sky is an endless green grassland. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the green grass sways from side to side like green waves.
“laugh!”
A crack quietly appeared in space, and the next moment, two figures stepped out from it.
Looking at this familiar scene, Xiao Yun felt a little emotional. When he first entered the ancient world, he was only at the Dou Zun realm. Although he had some strength, it was difficult for him to influence the overall situation.
And now, not only has he entered the realm of Fighting Saint, he also has two major opportunities that he has not yet used!
I guess I had never expected at that time that I could improve so quickly?
“Master Xiao, I have already informed the clan leader of your plan to practice in seclusion in the Heavenly Tomb. I believe that by now, the clan leader should be waiting for you in the Ancient Sacred Mountain.” After Xiao Yun finished expressing his feelings, Gu Dao said with a smile.
“Is Uncle Gu Yuan already at the Heavenly Tomb?” Xiao Yun put away his thoughts after hearing this and said, “That’s good, Clan Leader Gu Dao, let’s not keep Uncle Gu Yuan waiting for too long, let’s set off right away!”
“Well, then let’s do as Master Xiao says.” Gu Dao nodded, and then the robes of the two men fluttered slightly, and they turned into two streams of light, one in front and one behind, going towards the sky.
……
The flying speed of the Dou Sheng is so fast that it is far beyond the reach of the Dou Zun.
Not long after, after crossing countless buildings, the ancient road led Xiao Yun into the Ancient Sacred Mountain, and finally stopped at a group of steep mountains.
However, there were quite a few figures gathered here. Xiao Yun glanced around casually and found that most of the figures were white-haired old men, who should be the elders of the ancient clan.
And at the very front, there stood a middle-aged figure. He did not have a trace of aura and looked like an ordinary person, but no one dared to underestimate him.
“Uncle Gu Yuan.” Xiao Yun slowly landed in front of the middle-aged man and saluted.
“Haha, Xiaoyun, you’re here.”
Seeing Xiao Yun’s arrival, a smile appeared on Gu Yuan’s calm face. He looked at the former and couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Hey, Xiaoyun, has your cultivation improved again?”
“That’s right, Uncle Gu Yuan.” Xiao Yun nodded, knowing that in front of Gu Yuan, the strongest man on the continent, his true level of cultivation could not be concealed at all.
However, it was only cultivation. For power like the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, Xiao Yun temporarily devoured it with the strange fire and placed it in the Na Ling.
Even Gu Yuan could not find it without using his soul power to explore.
“After I parted with you last time, I returned to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and encountered some opportunities on the Ancient Dragon Island…”
“Tsk tsk, boy, you really deserve to be called the number one prodigy on the continent.” After hearing what Xiao Yun said, even with Gu Yuan’s temperament, it was difficult for him to calm down at this moment.
After all, the realm of Fighting Saint is no different from other realms. Those who can break through to the level of Saint are all geniuses standing at the top of the continent.
But even so, it will be difficult to make further progress in future practice.
But Xiao Yun had only been gone for a few days, and his cultivation had already made a small breakthrough. How could Gu Yuan not be shocked?
Even he, when he was at the Fighting Saint realm, had never had such a fast cultivation speed!
“The improvement in my cultivation is not entirely due to my own talent, but also thanks to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan…”
Xiao Yun shook his head and transferred part of the credit for his breakthrough to the Taixu Ancient Dragon.
Otherwise, his talent would be too shocking, and some people in the ancient clan would inevitably have bad thoughts about him.
People are often selfish, and Yao Lao has already verified this with his own life.
“So that’s how it is. This makes sense.” Gu Yuan nodded. He did not doubt Xiao Yun’s explanation. Instead, he felt it was reasonable.
The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is a clan that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. Its clan strength and foundation far exceeds that of other clans. Among the eight ancient clans, only the Ancient and Soul clans can compare with it.
It’s not that Gu Yuan is conceited. After all, he is one of the top figures in the Douqi Continent. If he hadn’t lacked source energy, he would have been promoted to Dou Emperor and ascended to the upper realm like the Ancient Emperor did back then.
It is acknowledged that Xiao Yun has good talent, but if his talent can also be unstoppable at the Fighting Saint level, it would be a bit too terrifying.
……
After chatting for a few words, the people from the surrounding ancient clans dispersed one after another, and a large area was suddenly vacated, with only Gu Yuan and Xiao Yun left.
Looking at the slowly twisting space above the mountain range, Gu Yuan said calmly: “Xiao Yun, you also know the rules of the Heavenly Tomb. It opens once every twenty years. The last time you were able to enter it was because I forcibly tore the space apart.
Originally, you wanted to enter the Heavenly Tomb this time, but even if I helped, you wouldn’t be able to stay in it for long.
Fortunately, the day when the Heavenly Tomb opens naturally is approaching, and the time taken to wait is not much different from before.”
“Isn’t the difference big? So, the time I can stay in the Heavenly Tomb is only about a year?” Hearing this, a trace of disappointment appeared on Xiao Yun’s face, and he asked.
“That’s right.” Gu Yuan nodded, turned around, saw Xiao Yun’s face, and said, “Why? Is a year a little too short?”
Xiao Yun didn’t say anything, just nodded silently.
Gu Yuan sighed, and as he waved his sleeves, a mutton-fat jade bottle appeared and hovered in front of Xiao Yun.
“This is a kind of elixir created by the ancient alchemy master of my clan, who spent a thousand years studying the Heavenly Tomb. It is called Yuanhun Pill.
This pill has no other effects. After taking it, it can imitate the breath of the residual soul, thus avoiding the rejection of the Heavenly Tomb.
The effect of one pill can last for a month. There are 24 Yuanhun pills in this bottle, which can extend your time in the Heavenly Tomb by two years. “
Hearing Gu Yuan’s words, Xiao Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up. He waved his hand and grasped the jade bottle in his palm. With a flick of his finger, the seal flew out and a faint fragrance of elixir wafted out.
“This pill is good!”
After taking a closer look, Xiao Yun didn’t see anything special about it, so he put away the jade bottle and bowed to thank him: “Thank you, Uncle Gu, for the elixir. Three years is still too short. You see…”
Hearing this, Gu Yuan’s mouth twitched a little, and he said unhappily: “You kid, do you think this Yuanhun Pill is some kind of cabbage on the roadside?
Even if this pill were placed in my ancient clan, only a very few people, such as candidates for clan leader, could obtain it.
Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, I have already given you all the Yuanhun Pills of the Ancient Clan!”
Xiao Yun touched his nose awkwardly, knowing that he was greedy. If this elixir was really that easy to refine, the younger generation of the Gu Clan, such as Gu Qingyang and others, would almost live in the Heavenly Tomb. However, the Gu Clan really had something. The Heavenly Tomb had been managed by the Gu Clan since the demise of the Xiao Clan.
I didn’t expect that after a thousand years, they actually figured out something!
Don’t underestimate this Yuanhun Pill. It can extend the user’s time in the Heavenly Tomb by one month, which is equivalent to six months in the outside world!
By this calculation, the geniuses of the ancient clan, by taking a Yuanhun Pill, can gain several months more training time than other geniuses.
Over time, the ancient clan’s foundation and strength became increasingly strong, making it difficult for other ancient families to catch up. If it weren’t for the Soul Clan incident, they would have been able to maintain their position as the number one family on the continent.
“Since there are no extra pills, Uncle Gu, please tear the space of the Heavenly Tomb apart!”
Xiao Yun said to Gu Yuan, if there is no one, then there is no one. Anyway, Xiao Xuan is still inside. With the other party’s strength, he can almost be regarded as half the master of the Heavenly Tomb, and he can also fight against the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb.
If it really takes some time, let Xiao Xuan talk to the soul of Tianmu about the “truth”.
After communicating with him in a way that appeals to both reason and emotion, perhaps the soul of the Heavenly Tomb would agree to let Xiao Yun stay a little longer!
“Well, while the Soul Clan is recuperating and not taking any other actions, you should seize the time to improve your strength!
Don’t worry, after you enter the Heavenly Tomb, I will send people to guard the Xingyun Pavilion, Dan Tower and other places. If the Soul Clan makes any moves, I will leave immediately and will not let the Medicine Clan incident happen again. “
“Well! Thank you, Uncle Gu!” Xiao Yun nodded heavily. If there was one thing he couldn’t let go of now, it was the safety of Xiao Yixian, Yao Lao and others.
This guy, Emperor Hun Tian, has no bottom line of a strong man. After all, in the original time and space, Emperor Hun Tian personally captured Xiao Zhan in order to force Xiao Yan to hand over the Tushe Ancient Jade.
Now he has entered the eyes of Emperor Hun Tian. Although he is not as threatening as Xiao Yan in the original time and space, and he does not have the Tushe Ancient Jade on him, it is still better to be cautious.
Then, Gu Yuan turned around, and as he waved his sleeves, surging spatial energy roamed freely, like a tsunami, rising and falling between heaven and earth.
The void space on the mountains is also affected by this spatial energy.
“Wow!”
A dark space crack was suddenly torn open, and an ancient and deadly aura emanated from it.
“Xiao Yun, the Heavenly Tomb has been opened, go in!” Looking at the space crack in front of him, Gu Yuan maintained his previous posture and shouted in a deep voice.
“Well! Uncle Gu, I’ll leave the people I know to you for the time being!”
Xiao Yun bowed to Gu Yuan, then moved his body. With the red-gold fighting spirit surging, his body turned into a stream of light and rushed into the space crack.
Until Xiao Yun’s figure completely disappeared from this world, Gu Yuan waved his sleeves again, and the crack began to close. In a breath, it disappeared.
It seemed as if nothing had happened, but the trees that were blown to and fro around showed that what had just happened was not an illusion.
Looking at the void that had returned to peace, Gu Yuan sighed lightly and waved his hand. The next moment, three figures flashed out. They were the three immortals of the ancient clan.
“Chief!” As soon as the three immortals of the ancient clan appeared, they bowed to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan nodded calmly as a return gesture, then said, “Three elders, Xiao Yun has entered the Heavenly Tomb and will be practicing in seclusion for three years.
During this period of time, you will be stationed here. Except for me, no one else is allowed to enter or leave within a thousand miles!
Even Xun’er, Qingyang and the others are no exception!”
“Don’t worry, Chief. We are stationed here. Not only humans, but even a mosquito can’t fly in!”
Listening to the answers of the three people, Gu Yuan nodded slightly, and as the space twisted, his figure slowly dissipated.
It was not until Gu Yuan completely disappeared from this world that the three people of Gu Dao looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
They attached great importance to Xiao Yun, believing that he would become a great help in the fight against the Soul Clan in the future, but they did not expect that Gu Yuan valued him more than they did!
“I remember that Xiao Yun has entered the Heavenly Mausoleum once last time, right? This time he should only stay for about a year at most, otherwise he will be rejected by the Heavenly Mausoleum, right?” an old man said dimly.
“That’s right, but Xiao Yun was able to stay for three full years this time. It must be because the clan leader took out the Yuanhun Pills and gave him twenty-four of them at once!”
As the three immortals of the ancient clan, their status in the ancient clan can be said to be second only to one person and above ten thousand people.
Of course, I know about the existence of Yuanhun Pill, and I also know what the function of this pill is!
“The clan leader is really good to Xiao Yun! If you don’t know him, you would think he is the next clan leader of our ancient clan.”
Listening to the complaints of the two people beside him, Gu Dao sighed and said in a deep voice: “Enough! The clan leader is qualified to call on all the resources of the clan! This is his decision! We just need to obey!”
“You can’t hand over so many Yuanhun Pills at once…” said the old man who spoke first.
Gu Dao saw that he had brought up Gu Yuan, but the two of them were still not convinced, so he immediately told them the news he knew about Xiao Yun.
“You two have lived for a thousand years in vain, ignoring the overall situation for the sake of a little immediate gain.
In my opinion, no matter how precious this Yuanhun Pill is, it is only useful for the younger generation. How can it compare to a Jindan Grandmaster? “
“Golden Core Grandmaster?!”
Hearing what Gu Dao said, the two elders exclaimed, with looks of disbelief on their faces.
In the Douqi Continent, the number and quality of alchemists are not as good as those of fighters. Nine-star peak Dousheng are common, but a ninth-grade golden elixir master has not appeared for thousands of years.
“Old man Gu Dao, please don’t talk nonsense. Although Master Xiao Yun is a genius, he just managed to refine a ninth-grade precious pill some time ago! He is still far from being a golden pill master!”
“That’s right, that’s right.” Another old man also nodded in agreement. The gap between the Baodan Grandmaster and the Jindan Grandmaster is like the gap between the initial level Dou Sheng and the advanced level Dou Sheng.
Even with Xiao Yun’s talent, it would probably take decades or even hundreds of years if nothing unexpected happened along the way!
Gu Dao shook his head disdainfully and said slowly: “Humph, what if I say that what Master Xiao refined last time was not a ninth-grade precious pill at all, but a half-step Xuandan, and its effect is even comparable to that of an ordinary ninth-grade Xuandan?”
“…”
After hearing Gu Dao’s words, the two elders were speechless, but their eyes were filled with shock.
If Xiao Yun’s situation is really as Gu Dao said, then its importance has been raised to several levels!
“No wonder the clan leader gave him so many Yuanhun Pills. He must have seen something a long time ago. It’s a pity that we are still questioning the clan leader.”
The two old men no longer had any dissatisfaction in their hearts. They vented out all their fighting spirit, chose a direction respectively, and hovered in the void, exploring everything around them.
They even decided that when they saw Xiao Yun again, they would definitely have a good relationship with him, or at least become enemies with him.
Seeing the actions of the two, knowing that he had finally convinced them, a smile appeared on Gu Dao’s old face, and then he sat down cross-legged, spreading his fighting spirit throughout the area within a hundred miles to prevent anyone from entering this place.
