Heavenly Tomb.
In this strange, misty land, eerie flames occasionally flicker in the distance, only to vanish in an instant. A deathly silence envelops this unfamiliar land.
"Laugh!"
The silent earth suddenly distorted, and then two figures holding hands slowly emerged from the space. As soon as they appeared, their fighting Dou Qi began to circulate almost simultaneously. They cautiously watched their surroundings, guarding against any possible accidents.
"This is the Heavenly Tomb..."
After finding no danger, Huo Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked around with a hint of curiosity.
Their gaze swept across the strange, misty landscape around them, but they found no one.
It seems the others have been teleported to other places. This Heavenly Tomb is extremely vast, and whether or not they will be encountered is anyone's guess.
"This Heavenly Tomb is truly amazing!"
Huo Xuan grabbed a handful of the misty gas in front of him and was surprised to find that it contained extremely rich energy of heaven and earth, and its purity far exceeded his expectations.
"Extremely concentrated energy, even stronger than in the Gu World..."
"Huo Xuan, Brother, which floor are you planning to go to now?" Huo Zhi suddenly asked from the side.
"If possible, I'd like to go to the Heavenly Tomb Third Layer, but it's too dangerous there. There's no rush right now, since we have three years."
Huo Zhi wasn't surprised by Huo Xuan's answer. She knew Huo Xuan's personality; since they were already here, they would definitely go to the Third Layer...
Huo Xuan had already discussed it with Yao Tian and Lei Dong. They had three years to make a move on Xiao Xuan's soul Heavenly Tomb Journey. They were not in a hurry. In the first year of the Heavenly Tomb, they would develop their own strategies, and they agreed to meet again in the Heavenly Tomb Third Layer in the second year.
"Let's go. The Heavenly Tomb is extremely large. Let's head straight to the second level first. Due to the intense energy pressure inside the Heavenly Tomb, we can't fly for too long, so we'll have to spend most of our time walking..."
Huo Xuan's gaze swept across the surroundings. The Energy Core on the Heavenly Tomb First Layer were too low-level to be of any interest to him. The Energy Core on the second level could barely be considered high-level, so he decided to raid the second level...
The Heavenly Tomb is extremely large. Although this is their first time visiting the Heavenly Tomb, many predecessors of the Flame Clan have visited it before. These predecessors have reconstructed some of the terrain of the Heavenly Tomb based on their memories. They have already memorized the topographical map of the Heavenly Tomb, so they have no worries about getting lost in the Heavenly Tomb.
"Um."
Huo Zhi responded and was about to leave when Huo Xuan suddenly turned his head, looked at the misty fog on his right, slowly raised his palm, and then clenched it tightly.
The energy in that area rapidly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, the fog there completely dissipated, revealing a phantom-like figure that appeared faintly in Huo Xuan's vision.
"This is... the Heavenly Tomb Energy Body?"
Looking at the illusory figure, Huo Zhi was slightly taken aback; she hadn't even noticed its approach.
"They should be able to use the energy mist to conceal themselves, approaching us silently and launching an attack." Huo Xuan sneered, "Trying to ambush us? You're not qualified!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Energy Body exploded, and then a stream of light the size of a thumb rushed towards Huo Xuan, who steadily caught it in his palm.
"This is the Energy Core, storing extremely pure energy. No wonder it's called a highly nourishing substance..."
Huo Xuan opened his palm, and a rhombus-shaped crystal, about the size of a thumb, appeared in his palm, emanating a faint glow and a dense mist of energy.
"The Energy Core in the Heavenly Tomb are divided into nine levels. As newcomers to the Heavenly Tomb, the Energy Body that can wander here should be the weakest. The Energy Core in my hand is probably only at level two at most, which is not very good. The higher-level Energy Core are in the depths of the Heavenly Tomb First Layer. Girl, why don't you try it first?" With that, Huo Xuan flicked his finger and sent the Energy Core toward Huo Zhi.
"Good."
Huo Zhi caught the Energy Core, held it in his palm, and began to circulate his energy.
As the cultivation technique circulated within her body, Huo Zhi suddenly felt a chill in her palm, and then, to her astonishment, she sensed streams of pure, warm energy surging forth from the Energy Core like a tidal wave...
Finally, all of this energy surged into the body, circulating through the meridians before gradually dissipating throughout the limbs and bones, eventually seeping into the muscles, bones, and cells...
With this energy seeping in, Huo Zhi could even clearly feel the power gradually increasing within her body...
"Call..."
"What an amazing thing! It's absorbed even more easily than ordinary pills..."
As the last burst of energy entered her body, Huo Zhi opened her palm; the Energy Core had turned to dust. A cool breeze blew, scattering the dust into the sky...
If she had enough Energy Core, she was confident she could advance to the Nine-Star Dou Zun within six months...
"The Heavenly Tomb is truly amazing..."
Huo Zhi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"The Gu Clan have really gotten a great deal this time..."
Of the sixteen spots available for the Heavenly Tomb, the Gu Clan, as guardians of the Heavenly Tomb, secured six spots—nearly half. Such treatment would make other races feel somewhat resentful.
"A great deal? The Gu Clan is only superficially gaining an advantage. Girl, I can guarantee that this Huo Xuan, Brother Heavenly Tomb will belong to our Flame Clan in the future."
"The Heavenly Tomb? Will it belong to our Flame Clan in the future?"
Seeing this, Huo Xuan smiled slightly and said, "The Gu Clan have occupied the Heavenly Tomb for a thousand years. It's time to change its master."
Huo Xuan's words surprised Huo Zhi. It would be quite difficult to seize the Heavenly Tomb from the Gu Clan. However, she believed in her Huo Xuan, Brother, a genius that the Flame Clan had only seen once in a thousand years. She believed that the Flame Clan would rise under Huo Xuan, Brother in the future. When the Flame Clan rose, the Heavenly Tomb would also be in the Flame Clan hands.
"Let's go, Huo Xuan, Brother, let's see who gets more Energy Core over these three years?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan quickly followed Huo Zhi. He was quite curious about how much his cultivation had improved during his three years in the Heavenly Tomb, thanks to the Energy Core there...
Besides hunting Energy Body to obtain Energy Core and improve his cultivation, Huo Xuan has another important matter. He plans to take some time to find Gu Xun'er and the others, and then deliberately create a few incidents to eliminate some of these Gu Clan...
Another area of Heavenly Tomb.
The silent earth suddenly distorted, and then, led by Gu Xun'er, a Cyan Shirt Man and a Silver Robed Man slowly emerged from the void...
"Is this the Heavenly Tomb...?"
"Where have the Gu Yao gone?" The Silver Robed Man asked after noticing that no one was around.
"The Gu Yao should have been randomly teleported to other parts of the Heavenly Tomb."
The Cyan Shirt Man spoke up.
"Big Brother Qing Yang, we only have three years to Heavenly Tomb Journey. Let's hunt down Energy Body to improve our cultivation first, and then head to the second level. The Gu Yao should all be there."
"Xun'er is right. I hope they don't encounter any danger..."
With her hands behind her back, Gu Xun'er lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her delicate body gracefully floated forward like a butterfly.
Seeing this, the Cyan Shirt Man, who was called Big Brother Qing Yang, and the Silver Shirt Man also quickly followed Gu Xun'er.
