Soul of the Heavenly Tomb
"Let's go into the Tomb Mansion first! Because of the Heavenly Tomb, I can't leave the Tomb Mansion at will. What you see now is just an image projected by me," Xiao Xuan said to Xiao Yan and the other.
The two followed Xiao Xuan closer to the stone tablet, and were then enveloped in a circle of light, as if they had entered another world.
What came into view was a magnificent ancient palace, with an endless night sky above it, where countless Black Stars twinkled, vaguely forming a strange shape, which made Xiao Yan feel a sense of familiarity from the bottom of his heart.
"Three Thousand Burning Flame?" Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised.
"This is your Three Thousand Burning Flame. Within it lies a deeply hidden intelligence. I used the preserved Xiao Clan Dou Di Bloodline to imprint a Blood Soul Mark with my remaining cultivation. The star-shaped pattern is the Xiao Clan Mark."
"This was originally your Heavenly Flames. After refining it, you can directly obtain the Xiao Clan Dou Di Bloodline, and you will not encounter any obstacles in cultivating the Clan Mark."
"After you finish cultivating the Clan Mark, I will do my best to teach you the Xiao Clan's Heavenly Tier Dou Technique so that you won't be at a disadvantage when facing enemies from other Ancient Race."
Xiao Xuan's voice rang out with a hint of a smile.
Xiao Yan looked at the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which had undergone a complete transformation. At this moment, the purplish-black flames, which possessed the power of stars, even surpassed the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. Its power was probably comparable to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
"Teacher, with these Three Thousand Burning Flame, is it possible for you to control the Heavenly Tomb?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked with anticipation.
Xiao Xuan's expression stiffened slightly, then he frowned, looked up at the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which was said to be immortal and indestructible, and fell into deep thought.
Controlling the Heavenly Tomb and being trapped in the Heavenly Tomb are two different concepts. If Xiao Xuan can control the Heavenly Tomb, even if he still cannot leave the Heavenly Tomb Space, he can tear apart the space of the Dou Qi Continent and send down a projection containing his power.
With Xiao Xuan's formidable cultivation, which was close to breaking through to the Dou Emperor during his lifetime, even a projection of him would be difficult for an ordinary seven or eight- Dou Sheng to match!
Xiao Xuan frowned and pondered for a long time before finally exhaling and saying softly, "It seems that there is indeed a slight possibility..."
Xiao Xuan reached out and brought Xiao Yan into the starry sky.
"There is a strange being in the Heavenly Tomb. It is a life form formed by the condensation of countless Residual Soul since the creation of the Heavenly Tomb. It has the power to control the Heavenly Tomb and it is no exaggeration to call it the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb."
"If I were to devour and refine it using the Three Thousand Burning Flame, I should be able to control the Heavenly Tomb. However, if you were to reach the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul Realm the future, you might be able to break through to the Emperor Realm Soul through refining it."
At this point, Xiao Xuan looked questioning. He couldn't decide whether to have another protector to help him grow or wait until he had reached a higher level before taking another step forward. Instead, he asked Xiao Yan for the answer.
Of course, deep down, Xiao Xuan hoped that Xiao Yan would choose the latter and break through to the Emperor Realm Soul.
"It's alright, I have the Spirit Transformation Emperor Soul Fruit." Xiao Yan answered without hesitation.
"..." Xiao Xuan's eyes twitched. After a moment of silence, he let out a soft sigh and said, "I was narrow-minded."
After a sigh, the Three Thousand Burning Flame in the sky instantly converged, transforming into a purple flame with endless Black Stars twinkling inside, which landed on Xiao Xuan's brow.
Xiao Xuan's body also rose into the air, and a terrifying pressure that made people tremble spread out from his body, eventually almost covering the entire Heavenly Tomb.
Under this oppressive force, all the Energy Body in the Heavenly Tomb raised their heads and looked towards the location where Xiao Xuan had ascended into the sky. Their previously numb eyes were now filled with excitement.
On a stone mountain, the Blood Saber Saint, who was engrossed in reading ancient texts, suddenly stood up, trembling as he watched the figure slowly ascend into the sky.
Previously, the Heavenly Tomb was merely a place for the strong to rest in peace, but since the birth of the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, it has instilled a desire to devour all the strong, causing the Heavenly Tomb cultivation to evolve into a distorted world of mutual devouring.
Someone once tried to challenge the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, but was easily killed and then devoured by it.
In the entire Heavenly Tomb, if there is anyone who can stand against the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, then it is only Xiao Xuan!
Some people had pleaded with Xiao Xuan for help, but Xiao Xuan was only focused on supporting the descendants of the Xiao Clan and had no intention of fighting against the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb.
That's why, when they saw Xiao Xuan's actions, their long-numbed hearts were once again invigorated.
"Back then, I had some reservations, so I didn't respond; now that my descendants have come, I will fulfill your petition from back then..."
Xiao Xuan hovered tens of thousands of feet in the sky, the energy of the entire Heavenly Tomb pressing down on his shoulders, yet it could not shake his slightly thin figure in the slightest. His calm voice rang in the ears of all the Energy Body.
"Boom!"
Influenced by Xiao Xuan's aura, a series of thunderous roars suddenly erupted from the end of that Void Space, carrying an equally immense and indescribable terrifying pressure that swept out from the depths of the void, causing countless Energy Body bodies to tremble.
A surge of soul energy, like a vast ocean, suddenly emerged and swept across the entire Heavenly Tomb. Even though Xiao Yan was hiding in Xiao Xuan's Tomb Mansion, he was still suppressed.
However, compared to Gu Yuan's feeling of being one with heaven and earth, this soul fluctuation, although terrifyingly strong, gave people a feeling of being unable to control it freely.
It is likely because the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb was formed from the convergence of countless fragments of different souls that its accumulated power, while immense, appears extremely mottled.
After this invisible soul spread, in just a moment, a gigantic face spanning tens of thousands of feet suddenly emerged from the writhing space.
"Xiao Xuan, we've always kept to ourselves. Are you trying to break that unspoken agreement today?"
The giant face's voice was icy cold, but upon closer listening, one could detect a deep sense of apprehension beneath it.
"The Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, the Star Transformation!"
Deep purple-black flames surged from between Xiao Xuan's brows and then poured into the body that was confronting the giant face, instantly raising the aura it emitted to a new level.
Xiao Xuan was already Half-Emperor expert. Now, he used the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which was comparable to the Dou Sheng, to perform the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations. Its power was even more unmatched!
"Since you are determined to die, then I will grant your wish!"
Seeing that Xiao Xuan was about to attack without saying a word, the giant face opened its mouth amidst the surging motion and suddenly spewed out a Soul Storm, which spun into a sharp cone and shot fiercely towards Xiao Xuan.
But Xiao Xuan only showed a disdainful smile, and a nine-stroke purplish-black Clan Mark slowly appeared on his forehead. His aura broke through again, and he actually suppressed the Soul Storm with just his pressure!
The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb Heavenly Tomb the Energy Body within to devour each other, but in the original text Xiao Yan broke through to the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection by consuming the Soul Origin refined by the Soul Hall, and when he broke through to the Emperor Realm Soul, he also consumed the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, an aggregate of countless Residual Soul imprints of powerful beings. Hmm... anyway, something's weird.
