Liu Bai turned his head and saw Elder Tong Xuan walking over at an unhurried pace.
"Elder Tong Xuan."
Liu Bai gave a slight nod.
Elder Tong Xuan looked at him, a trace of complexity flashing through his eyes.
"Hall Master Liu, the Heavenly Tomb is filled with dangers. Even Dou Saint experts would not dare claim they could emerge unscathed. Are you sure you want to enter?"
Liu Bai smiled faintly.
"I'm sure."
Elder Tong Xuan fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Since that is your decision, this old man will not say more. The Heavenly Tomb has three levels. The first is mostly inhabited by Energy Bodies below Three-Star Dou Venerate. The second contains Dou Venerates between three and eight stars. As for the third level..."
He paused, his tone turning grave.
"The third level contains true Dou Venerate Peak experts, and even... supreme experts who reached the Dou Saint class in life. Unless you are absolutely certain, do not venture too deeply."
Liu Bai nodded.
"Thank you for the warning, Elder."
Elder Tong Xuan said no more and turned to leave.
Just then, the entire world suddenly began to tremble violently.
A vast, ancient aura slowly spread from the void. Beneath that ancient aura, everyone present felt a sense of awe rise from the depths of their souls.
"The Heavenly Tomb is opening..."
Watching the sky suddenly darken, Zi Yan spoke softly.
"Boom!"
The moment Zi Yan finished speaking, a heaven-shaking blast erupted from the empty space. Immediately afterward, a massive spatial rift, a thousand zhang wide, spread across the sky. At the center of the rift, a cluster of silver light gradually emerged, eventually forming a hundred-zhang spatial gate.
That vast, ancient aura was emanating from within it.
"So this is the Heavenly Tomb Gate..."
