Gu World.
As time slowly passed, everyone waited quietly for the Heavenly Tomb to open. In the utterly tedious wait, two days quickly flew by...
As the third day's dawn broke, an unusual atmosphere spread from the mountains, eventually enveloping everyone...
"Today is the day the Heavenly Tomb Opening..." Standing in front of the bamboo house, Huo Xuan asked Huo Zhi beside him, "Are your injuries any better?"
"Huo Xuan, Brother, I'm fine now. Thanks to the healing pills you gave me, my injuries are healed."
"That's good."
After saying that, Huo Xuan turned to Yan Ling and instructed him, "Yan Ling, during this time, the three of you will stay by Elder Yan Feng's side. Be careful, I don't want to come out of the Heavenly Tomb and not see the three of you again."
"Young Clan Leader, rest assured. I will do my best to protect them during this time."
Yan Feng understood Huo Xuan's thoughts. The three of them had been following Huo Xuan for quite some time and could be considered Huo Xuan's confidants. He should provide them with some protection.
"Let's go."
After explaining these things, Huo Xuan flashed and flew eastward towards the Gu Sacred Mountain Range.
The location where the Heavenly Tomb Opening is deep within the Gu Sacred Mountain Range, which is generally considered a forbidden area for the Gu Clan. People are not allowed to enter under normal circumstances, and it is only opened when the Heavenly Tomb Opening.
The Heavenly Tomb also harbors considerable dangers. Countless ancient powerhouses are buried there. Although their souls have long since vanished, due to the mystique of the Heavenly Tomb, their energy from their past lives has been preserved in their former forms. These Energy Body possess extremely strong offensive capabilities, and they even understand the Dou Technique they used in life, making them quite difficult to deal with...
It is said that some extremely powerful beings, even in their Energy Body, possessed a degree of intelligence, and could even be considered a kind of strange creature...
The Heavenly Tomb is divided into three levels. The Energy Body in the first level are mostly Dou Zun below three stars, wandering aimlessly and not too difficult to deal with. The Energy Body in the second level are Dou Zun above three stars but below eight stars. As for the Third Layer, it contains true Peak Dou Zun, and even some super strong individuals who reached the Dou Sheng level in their lifetime, making them quite troublesome to deal with...
Generally speaking, few people would venture into the Third Layer unless they were absolutely certain of their safety, as it is extremely dangerous.
Huo Xuan's main objective for this trip, Xiao Xuan's Tomb Estate, is also located on that Third Layer.
Xiao Xuan's Tomb Estate is located in the innermost part of the Heavenly Tomb Third Layer, but very few people dare to enter there...
The innermost part of the Heavenly Tomb Third Layer was no different from a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, but Huo Xuan refused to give up. No matter how difficult it was, he had to try...
The flight lasted for about ten minutes. Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi stopped in a treacherous mountain range. There were already many figures around them. Huo Xuan glanced around and saw many familiar figures.
As Huo Xuan's gaze swept across the surrounding peaks, his eyes suddenly sharpened. In the direction of his gaze, three figures in black robes were suspended in the void, and a chilling aura slowly emanated from their bodies.
"A member of the Hun Clan..."
Of the Eight Clans present, the Spirit Clan was unable to attend. The group in the southeast direction was the Medicine Clan, led by Yao Tian and Yao Ling.
The group to the east was led by Lei Dong, belonging to the Lei Clan; the group to the west was led by the Shi Clan...
The Heavenly Tomb, which opens only once every twenty years, has a total of sixteen slots. Aside from the Gu Clan that guards the Heavenly Tomb, the other six clans each have only two slots...
Suddenly, the world trembled violently, and a vast, ancient aura slowly emanated from the Void Space. Under this ancient aura, a sense of awe welled up in the souls of everyone present...
"Is the Heavenly Tomb about to open...?"
Looking at the sky that had suddenly darkened, Huo Xuan said softly.
"Boom!"
As soon as Huo Xuan finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the void. Immediately afterward, a spatial rift a thousand feet long spread out from the sky. At the center of the spatial rift, a ball of silver light gradually emerged, eventually transforming into a Space Gate a hundred feet long. The vast and ancient aura emanated from this gate.
"This should be the entrance to the Heavenly Tomb..."
Looking at the ancient gate that stood tall between heaven and earth, Huo Xuan murmured to himself.
An ancient portal stood between heaven and earth, its ancient aura spreading out, causing the souls of everyone present to tremble...
"Everyone, you should all know the rules for entering the Heavenly Tomb. Each clan has two slots, and there can be absolutely no more than that..." Elder Tongxuan's Old Figure appeared in the sky, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding figures as he spoke calmly.
Hearing his words, everyone nodded slightly. The rules for entering the Heavenly Tomb have always been the same, with two slots for each clan, which has continued to this day. However, only the Gu Clan, as the race that guards the Heavenly Tomb, receives a greater advantage.
For example, this time, since no one from the Xiao Clan or the Spirit Clan came, they had a total of six spots to enter the Heavenly Tomb. This kind of treatment made other clans quite envious.
"Girl, if we enter the Heavenly Tomb separately, we'll be randomly teleported away, so let's enter together later..." Huo Xuan said.
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi nodded slightly. Her understanding of the Heavenly Tomb was limited to what she had heard from her elders and from the clan's ancient books. Having Huo Xuan accompany her on her Heavenly Tomb Journey would make her feel much more at ease.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the ancient gate in the spatial rift in the sky suddenly erupted with a thunderous sound. Then, the gate slowly cracked open, and dazzling light burst out from it, illuminating the world.
"If the quotas have already been allocated, then prepare to enter the Heavenly Tomb. Remember, you can only stay in the Heavenly Tomb for three years. After three years, the Heavenly Tomb will automatically expel you..." Elder Tongxuan said again in a deep voice, looking at the ancient gate that was slowly cracking open.
"Boom!"
Above the sky, the cracks in the ancient gate grew wider and wider, eventually reaching a massive ten zhang in size, from which a rich, ancient aura billowed out like mist.
"Laugh!"
As the ancient gate opened, several whooshing sounds suddenly rang out in the mountains and forests. Six figures swept across the sky with lightning speed, and then, under the watchful eyes of many, they rushed straight into the opened gate.
"The Gu Clan people have gone in."
"Huo Xuan, Brother, let's set off too."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan nodded, exchanged a glance with Huo Zhi, then took Huo Zhi's hand. In a flash, they transformed into two streaks of light, simultaneously rushing towards the ancient gate and disappearing into the intense light within its Giant Gate...
Following Huo Xuan and his companion, members of the Soul, Thunder, Medicine, and Shi Clan also set off one after another, transforming into streaks of light and swiftly entering the Giant Gate.
As the last figure entered the Giant Gate, the ancient gate trembled violently. Then, under everyone's gaze, it slowly began to fade into nothingness until it finally vanished completely...
