The flight lasted for about ten minutes before the unicorn finally stopped in a rugged mountain range. There were already many figures around, and Xiao Yuan's gaze swept over them, revealing many familiar faces.

To the southeast were the people of the Yao Clan. When Xiao Yuan looked at this group, the leader, Yao Xingji to sense it. He slightly turned his head and looked at Xiao Yuan. After seeing that it was this terrifying fiend with Heavenly State soul, he obediently lowered his head and avoided Xiao Yuan's gaze.

Cheapskate.

This is the only way Xiao Yuan can describe this kind of person.

Xun'er then began to introduce the Ancient Race that Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were not familiar with, "To the east are the Thunder Clan. Elder Mang Tianchi is their leader on this trip. However, he probably won't enter the Heavenly Tomb. Generally, those who enter are mostly the younger generation of the clan. After all, the Heavenly Tomb is an excellent place for training."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan turned their gazes to the group of people with lightning bolt marks on their foreheads in the distance.

"To the west are the Shi Clan. Due to their bloodline, their physical bodies are extremely terrifying, comparable to some of the top magical beasts in the Beast Realm."

The two turned their gaze to the west, where a group of people with grayish-white skin had a giant stone Clan Mark on their foreheads.

"As for the Yao Clan and the Yan Clan, you all know them. The Spirit Clan didn't come this time, and Brother Xiao Yuan used the Soul Clan's quota to exchange for a quota to enter the Heavenly Tomb. Therefore, our Ancient Clan has six quotas, while the other clans only have two quotas each."

Xun'er smiled apologetically.

According to her idea, the Soul Clan's quota should also be allocated by Xiao Yuan, but since Xiao Yuan had already made it clear that the Ancient Clan did need these two quotas, the elders couldn't say anything, so they had no choice but to give up.

Xiao Yuan nodded slowly, about to speak, when he suddenly sensed the world trembling violently. A vast, ancient aura slowly emanated from the Void Space, and under this ancient aura, a sense of awe welled up in the souls of everyone present. "The Heavenly Tomb is about to open."

Looking at the suddenly darkening sky, Xun'er said softly.

"Boom!"

As soon as Xun'er finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the void. Immediately afterward, a Space Rift a thousand feet long spread out from the sky. At the center of the Space Rift, a ball of silver light gradually emerged, eventually transforming into a spatial gate a hundred feet long. The vast and ancient aura emanated from this gate.

"So this is the Heavenly Tomb Gate?"

Gazing at the ancient gate towering between heaven and earth, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan both showed intense curiosity in their eyes.

Within this Heavenly Tomb lies the tomb of their Ancestor Xiao Xuan, and they truly long to see Ancestor.

An ancient spatial gate stood between heaven and earth, its ancient aura spreading outwards, causing everyone's soul to tremble. "Everyone, you should 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 aged 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 each race having two slots, which has continued to this day. However, the Ancient Clan, as the race that guards the Heavenly Tomb, receives even greater benefits. For example, this time, because the Spirit Clan and Soul Clan have vacancies, they have a total of six slots to enter the Heavenly Tomb. This kind of treatment makes other races somewhat envious.

"Brother Xiao Yan, if Third Brother enters separately, he will be randomly teleported away, so let's enter together."

Xun'er turned her head and smiled at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan.

"Um."

Xiao Yan nodded. He was completely unfamiliar with the Heavenly Tomb, and having Xun'er with him would undoubtedly save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"I won't get involved with you two. With your combined strength, you probably wouldn't stand a chance. I'm going to explore on my own. See you on the third floor."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he did not intend to follow Xun'er and Xiao Yan.

The young couple rarely see each other, and having other people around makes them feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, I'm strong enough to do whatever I want in there. It's just that you two should look out for each other."

Seeing that the two were worried about him, Xiao Yuan immediately smiled and comforted them.

"Okay, then you need to be careful, bro."

Xiao Yan naturally knew his Third Brother's temperament. Since he had said he wanted someone, there was no way he could be persuaded to go back.

"Boom!"

As the three were talking, the ancient gate in the Space Rift in the sky suddenly roared loudly. Then, the gate slowly cracked open, and dazzling light shot out from it, illuminating the world.

"If the slots 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."

Gazing at the ancient gate that was slowly cracking open, Elder Tongxuan spoke again in a deep voice.

"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 dense, ancient aura billowed out like mist.

"Laugh!"

As the ancient gate opened, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out in the mountains and forests. Five figures streaked across the sky with lightning speed, and then, under the watchful eyes of many, they rushed straight into the opened gate.

"Among the Ancient Clan people, is Gu Zhen among them?"

Looking at the five figures, Xiao Yuan was slightly taken aback, then nodded in realization. The Four Great Commanders of the Black Annihilation Army, the Grand Commander Gu Zhen, plus Xun'er, made up six people.

Xun'er nodded, then Nalan Yanran sweetly and said, "Shall we set off too?"

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, then exchanged a glance with Xiao Yuan, turned around and took Xun'er's hand, flying into the gate.

Xiao Yuan smiled, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yi Xian and the others behind him, and said:

"I'm afraid my stay in the Heavenly Tomb will be quite long this time. If anything happens, you can return to the Starfall Pavilion first."

Be careful.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice.

Qing Lian, who was standing to the side, also cast a concerned glance.

Heavenly Flame Venerable smiled faintly; he had always had great confidence in Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan nodded, then his figure moved, transforming into a streak of light, and he swiftly rushed towards the ancient gate, disappearing into the intense light within the giant gate. Following Xiao Yuan, the other members of the various races also set off one after another, transforming into streaks of light and rapidly rushing into the giant gate.

As the last figure entered the giant gate, the ancient gate rippled violently, and then, under everyone's gaze, it slowly became illusory until it finally disappeared completely.

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 a figure in flowing white robes emerged from the space, calmly surveying the surroundings.

The surroundings were empty, with nothing in sight. It seemed that the others had been teleported to other places. The area of this Heavenly Tomb was extremely vast, and as for whether they would encounter each other, no one could say for sure.

"Extremely concentrated energy, even stronger than that of the Ancient World."

Xiao Yuan 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.

Moreover, Xiao Yuan turned his head, looked at the misty fog in the distance, and waved his sleeve.

As Xiao Yuan waved his sleeve, the energy in that area rapidly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, the mist there completely dissipated, revealing a phantom figure that appeared faintly in Xiao Yuan's field of vision.

"This is... Energy Body?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yuan slapped it with terrifying force, shattering it instantly. A stream of light the size of a thumb rushed towards him and was finally caught by him.

This is a rhombus-shaped crystal, about the size of a thumb, with a faint glow on it, from which a dense mist of energy emanates.

This should be the Energy Core. Let's see how it is.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Yuan began to circulate his cultivation technique.

As the internal energy cultivation technique circulated, Xiao Yuan felt a sudden chill in his palms. He then felt streams of pure, warm energy surging out from the Energy Core like a tide and flowing into his body.

These energies don't require much refining; they simply circulate through the meridians and directly enter the Qi Mansion.

Unfortunately, this thing is not of high quality. It would be a good item for ordinary people, but it is not enough for Xiao Yuan, who has five Qi Mansion.

It seems we should head straight to the second floor.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yuan discerned the direction, then turned around, golden flames enveloping him, transforming him into a giant golden dragon indistinguishable from the Ancient Void Dragon, and headed towards the second level.

The vast Heavenly Tomb is perpetually shrouded in dense energy mist. Under this oppressive energy, anything that flies by will feel as heavy as a mountain. After a short flight in the sky, it will feel utterly exhausted. It is precisely because of this that the Heavenly Tomb seems to have no end.

The world of the Heavenly Tomb is desolate and monotonous, but those who can enter this strange place are not ordinary people. They stand out from races that produce geniuses, possessing not only formidable strength but also remarkably calm personalities. Although they find this monotony somewhat unpleasant, it is still within their tolerance.

Despite the monotony, a golden dragon traversed the vast Heavenly Tomb in just one week, finally reaching the energy wall that appeared at the edge of its vision.

"This is the entrance to the second level?"

Gazing at the wall of energy that seemed to pour down from the end of the sky, the golden dragon spoke in human language, and judging from the voice, it was clearly Xiao Yuan.

Along the way, Xiao Yuan used a secret technique to absorb energy, which not only reduced the pressure of flying but also improved his strength. If given another half month, he would be able to break through to the Seven Star Dou Zun.

All the Energy Body he encountered along the way were brutally smashed to death by him, turning into Energy Core that became his nourishment.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Yuan flicked his tail and approached the energy light screen.

As they approached the enormous energy barrier, an exceptionally powerful energy pressure emanated from it.

"Such powerful energy pressure! To pass through this light barrier, without the strength of Five Star Dou Zun, one would probably be crushed into powder."

Xiao Yuan stopped outside the energy light barrier, his dragon claw probing inside. Feeling the pressure of that energy, he said with some emotion.

It should be noted that Five Star Dou Zun would be considered a top-tier expert in the Central State.

It's so inadequate when placed here.

However, this thing has nothing to do with him anymore. With his physical strength alone, this pressure can't do anything to him.

Shaking its head, the golden dragon plunged headfirst into the light barrier.

This energy barrier was about several hundred feet long, but for Xiao Yuan, it was only a moment before he passed through it.

As he stepped out of the light barrier, the oppressive energy that enveloped his entire body instantly dissipated, but his powerful soul perception still gave Xiao Yuan some warning.

The next moment, several exceptionally sharp energy energies swept over like lightning. The golden dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a torrent of golden dragon breath, dissolving the energy energies.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan's gaze swept across the area, and he saw about ten Energy Body floating in mid-air, their empty and indifferent gazes fixed on him.

"Energy Body, and one with the Energy Body of ten Five Star Dou Zun."

Looking at these Energy Body with decent strength, Xiao Yuan finally showed a happy expression. He had finally encountered some high-level ones.

I'm going to eat, eat, eat!

The golden dragon roared to the sky, then bared its fangs and claws and charged forward. With a breath of dragon breath, it burned five Energy Body to death. With a flick of its tail and a swipe of its claws, the remaining five Energy Body were also instantly killed.

By condensing the form of the Ancient Void Dragon with Heavenly Flames, and combining it with Xiao Yuan's terrifying physical strength, even ordinary Nine Stars Dou Zun would be wary of Xiao Yuan's slaps. Dealing with these Energy Body at the Five Star Dou Zun level would be as easy as drinking water.

After absorbing the ten Energy Core, Xiao Yuan's Dou Qi grew even stronger. In his mind, he recalled the map of the Heavenly Tomb that he had asked Xun'er for long ago. He then determined the direction, flicked his dragon tail, and dispersed the dense energy mist around him. His figure transformed into golden light and rushed towards the entrance of the third level.

The second level is much smaller than the first, but the difficulty of flying there is much higher, and there are quite a few powerful Energy Body along the way.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan, who originally planned to reach the third level in one day, patiently spent three days killing monsters on the second level to collect enough Energy Core to advance to the Seven Star Dou Zun before deciding to enter the third level.
