Soul World, Cloud Top Mountain Peak.

It was still under the tree, with the stone table and stone bench, but this time, the chessboard on the stone table disappeared, and Hun Tiandi did not continue to sit on it, studying his chess records. He was dressed in black, and his clothes moved with the wind. With a wanton smile on his lips, he looked at the rising clouds and mist in the distance. His deep eyes seemed to see through River of Time and see a corner of the future.

After a long while, he said calmly, "Heavenly Tomb is about to be closed. When that kid comes out of seclusion, let's start with the Spirit Clan."

"Are you sure you want him to take the lead in this matter?" An indifferent voice sounded. Immediately, the space beside Hun Tiandi was pierced by black flames. As the black flames rolled, a sinister man with black flames all over his body stepped out. He looked at Hun Tiandi with hesitant eyes. He didn't understand why Hun Tiandi valued this kid.

"Guess, after he enters Heavenly Tomb, will he see Xiao Xuan?" Hun Tiandi asked softly with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Xuan was buried in Heavenly Tomb after his death... With his strength during his lifetime, it is not difficult to gather the conscious Energy Body, and his strength should not be weak. It would be better if that kid didn't see him, but if he did, he might not be able to come out alive!" Nihility Devouring Flame said coldly.

Xiao Xuan was a Half-Emperor level existence during his lifetime. When he was about to die, he was buried in Heavenly Tomb. After his resurrection, his strength should be at the Seven to Eight Star Dou Sheng level.

"That kid is not that stupid, and even if we do meet, Xiao Xuan may not lower his status to attack a young junior. He can at most ask about the outside world. If he knows Gu Clan and Soul Clan Marriage Alliance, he may be able to guess something." Hun Tiandi said in a leisurely manner.

He and Xiao Xuan are both rivals and friends. It can be said that they understand each other very well. Hun Tiandi feels that Xiao Xuan will not kill Yao Yan, but will remind Yao Yan of some things to make him feel disgusted.

Today's Xiao Xuan can only use this small trick.

"It seems that you really think highly of that boy!" Nihility Devouring Flame said in a deep voice.

"If it were a thousand years ago, I wouldn't mind training him to be my heir, but unfortunately, there is only one Emperor Pill Embryo!" Hun Tiandi sighed softly, and after a moment, he continued, "I hope that after breaking through Dou Di, all the mysteries can be solved!"

He looked into the endless void, maybe all the secrets of the Dou Qi Continent will be answered in the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion.

"If he knows that everything is a lie, he may not be able to listen to your mercy." Nihility Devouring Flame glanced at Hun Tiandi coldly and said.

"He has no choice!" Hun Tiandi said calmly, his expression not changing at all.

Yao Yan is too weak, too weak for him to take him seriously. Even if his progress is extremely fast, that's all. Even if he can break into Seven Stars or even Eight Star Dou Sheng in more than ten years, so what... He is not on the same level as him at all, let alone a threat.

There is always only half of his opponent, that is Gu Yuan!

If it weren't for Gu Yuan and Gu Clan's restraint, he would have overturned the table long ago. He has been planning for thousands of years, and even took action against the Spirit Clan, he had to be careful for fear of leaking the news. But Gu Yuan's character can only be half of his opponent, and he has no ability to compete with him!

"It's up to you, I'm only responsible for my own affairs." Nihility Devouring Flame said lightly, showing no interest in these things. After saying that, he turned around and disappeared from the place, turning into a wisp of black flame and blending into the space.

Hun Tiandi continued to look at the world in the distance, silently.

Within Heavenly Tomb.

The Li Fire Grand Formation that enveloped the entire third layer has slowly dissipated. As the gorgeous sea of fire and array patterns dispersed, the energy of the entire third layer seemed to be a little thinner. The Energy Body inside was even refined, leaving only two figures standing in the void.

"Congratulations, you successfully broke through Four Star Dou Sheng!" Yao Yan looked at Gu Xun'er, who had greatly improved in strength, and chuckled.

In the past six months, he has not immersed himself in hard training, but has focused part of his energy on Dou Technique. Therefore, the energy absorbed by Gu Xun'er has increased a lot, successfully breaking through the bottleneck of Four Star Dou Sheng. If not, her strength in this training can only increase to around Peak Three-Star Dou Saint at most.

But even so, the talent shown by Gu Xun'er is really exaggerated.

"What about you? How is your strength improving~" Gu Xun'er blinked her smart eyes. Sizing Up looked at Yao Yan curiously. She found that she still couldn't see through Yao Yan's cultivation. Even the other person's aura became more and more ordinary, and she couldn't sense the aura of a strong person and Soul Power at all.

"Five-Star Dou Sheng Peak is only one step away from Six-Star Dou Sheng~" Yao Yan explained softly.

"This step shouldn't stop you. It seems that it won't be long before you can break through Six-Star Dou Sheng... How long will it take for me to catch up with you!" Gu Xun'er said, suddenly feeling a little discouraged. She was already trying her best to catch up, but she still felt that the gap was getting wider and it was getting to the point where it was difficult to catch up.

"The purpose of your cultivation is not to teach me a lesson, right?" Yao Yan joked after hearing this.

"I'm not a big-hearted person. I will always remember the time when you used your strength to bully me!" Gu Xun'er's elegant eyes flashed with a flash of agility, and she snorted. At this moment, her expression was a bit more feminine and heart-tugging.

"Then remember it forever." Yao Yan smiled and hugged her waist, looking into those clear and elegant eyes, and said.

Gu Xun'er looked at Yao Yan with beautiful eyes, seeming to recall the scenes from that year. At that time, Yao Yan seemed not to be a good person... He was a big liar, but in the end he did deceive her heart.

"Buzz~"

Heavenly Tomb suddenly trembled, and the space seemed to be shaking.

"It's time to go out!" Yao Yan glanced around, determined the remaining time, then looked at the direction of the Tomb Mansion, and seemed to see the uneasy Xiao Ning. The opponent's strength had improved well and had reached the level of Nine-Revolution Dou Zun Peak.

He pondered for a while, raised his hand and took out a jade bottle containing Ninth Grade Treasure Pill, and threw it towards Xiao Ning.

This elixir was refined by him casually in the past half year. As the soul realm entered Emperor Realm, refining Ninth Grade Treasure Pill was no longer difficult for him, and he also wanted to see if Xiao Ning could evolve Devouring Heaven Demon Skill into another path.

Once Dou Sheng is broken into, Xiao Ning should completely let go of its restraint on Devouring Heaven Demon Skill, and devour the evolved physique to its heart's content, using Dou Sheng's body The body can completely withstand the torture of Devouring Heaven Demon Skill. As for whether it transforms into a demon fetus or Self-Detonation dies in the end... it depends on Xiao Ning's fate.

After doing all this, he withdrew his gaze and felt the Heavenly Tomb space. Perhaps because he had refined Heavenly Tomb Origin, Heavenly Tomb seemed to be under his control now. With a slight movement of his mind, the space in front of him split open, and Yao Yan stepped directly into it with Gu Xun'er.

In the outside world, all the Clan Leader elders are already waiting, with looks of anticipation in their eyes, hoping that the younger generation of the clan can make a breakthrough. Half a year in the outside world, Heavenly Tomb can be a full three years, and the Heaven and Earth Energy in it is several times that of the outside world. In addition, the crystal core of Energy Body is an extremely rare training place, whether it is to hone oneself or improve strength.

Every time the younger generation entered it in previous years, as long as they could come out alive, their strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds and they would become the future Dou Sheng seeds of all races!

"Come out!" the leader Gu Clan Elder said.

As his words fell, the shaking space suddenly distorted. The next moment, two figures walked out of it. As the two stepped out, the chaotic Space Energy around them seemed to calm down.

Yao Yan, who was wearing a silver-white robe, and Gu Xun'er, who was in a blue suit, walked out slowly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Miss's aura... is this Four Star Dou Sheng?!" Anyone who was interested instantly discovered the change in Gu Xun'er's strength. The aura that had just broken through Four Star Dou Sheng was not stable, and could be felt easily. Many Gu Clan Elders suddenly had surprise expressions on their faces.

Above Dou Sheng, it is extremely difficult to improve each star. Some people may not be able to improve one star even after spending hundreds of years. However, Gu Xun'er only entered Heavenly Tomb for half a year, and its strength jumped from Two Star Dou Sheng to Four Star Dou Sheng Early Stage, a full two-star improvement. This level of strength is higher than that of some elders of the Gu Clan.

Don't forget Gu Xun'er's age and Bloodline Talent!

Thinking of this, many Gu Clan Elder's faces showed excitement, as if they had seen Gu Xun'er grow up.

"This kid's strength..." Gu Clan Many thoughtful elders focused their attention on Yao Yan. Compared with before entering Heavenly Tomb, Yao Yan's strength now seems to be more unfathomable. Even just standing there, it feels like facing an abyss.

"Has your Soul Power exceeded Emperor Realm?" Along with a surprised voice, the figure of Gu Yuan appeared in everyone's sight. He was surprised. Looking at Yao Yan, no one knows better than him how difficult it is to break through the soul realm to the Emperor Realm. It took him countless years to get to this point, but how big is Yao Yan.

Could it be that this kid refined Xiao Xuan?!

Or.

Heavenly Tomb Are there other opportunities?!

"Emperor Realm?!"

As soon as these words came out, many people suddenly looked shocked. You must know that the breakthrough in the soul realm is more difficult than Dou Qi Cultivation. Even some people with extraordinary talents will find it difficult to make great progress in the soul realm without unique opportunities in this life, let alone the legendary Emperor Realm!

That is linked to the word emperor!

"Master-in-law, let's talk somewhere else~" Yao Yan said softly.

Gu Yuan looked at Yao Yan for a while, then nodded slowly, raised his hand to distort the space, and left here with Yao Yan and Gu Xun'er. As for the rest of the younger generation, it is obvious that he, Gu Clan Leader, does not need to pay attention, and can be left to the Clan Leader elders.

In an instant.

The three of them appeared on the top of a mountain with a beautiful environment. The place was shrouded in clouds and mist, as if they were in a fairyland.

Gu Yuan The curious Sizing Up held Yao Yan and asked, "How did your Soul Power break through the Emperor Realm? I don't remember that Heavenly Tomb has the effect of tempering the soul... could it be that Xiao Xuan gave it to you?"

After he finished speaking, he smiled a bit, and it was obvious that the last sentence was meant as a joke.

"It is indeed an opportunity given to him by Xiao Xuan~" Gu Xun'er heard this and said to his father with a smile. Since his father has noticed it, there is no need to hide anything and let his father know. After all, he is the man he values, and Hun Tiandi may not have good intentions for Yao Yan.

"I made a deal with senior Xiao Xuan..." Yao Yan told the story of Heavenly Tomb Soul, including the things that he could control Heavenly Tomb now. He also told them all, after all, he would take Heavenly Tomb away with him.

Heavenly Tomb's unique ability is enough to save Yao Yan a lot of time in the future!

"I didn't expect that there is such a thing in Heavenly Tomb!" Gu Yuan looked surprised, and then looked at Yao Yan with some emotion, "What a lucky boy... If I had known about the existence of Heavenly Tomb Soul before, it wouldn't have been your turn~"

Soul Origin can help Grand Perfection Heaven Realm break through the Emperor Realm. This level of training resources is rare in the Dou Qi Continent, and even in Ancient Era, it is not necessarily possible to see it.

Most of the powerful people whose souls have broken through the Emperor Realm have relied on their own strength to feed their souls over time, but there is no one like Yao Yan who can break through so easily.

"If Clan Leader of all races knew about this, they would probably envy you to death." Gu Yuan chuckled.

"It's just a coincidence... This matter must be thanks to the efforts of senior Xiao Xuan, otherwise I would not be able to deal with Heavenly Tomb Soul." Yao Yan shook his head slightly and said slowly, with his original strength, he could at most force Heavenly Tomb Soul out, but it is impossible to extract Soul Origin from it.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, and then asked about the things he was more concerned about, "Did Emperor Jade of the Xiao Clan ask for clues?"

"Senior Xiao Xuan did not do anything to Xiao Clan Emperor Jade. According to his statement, he asked the Xiao Clan branch to take away Emperor Jade. His original intention was to take Gu Clan away... Who knew that his father had never done anything." Gu Xun'er looked at his father with a strange look in his eyes and said softly.

Gu Yuan heard this and the corner of his mouth twitched. Did he abide by the agreement? Is it his problem?

Shake his head slightly.

He whispered, "Then this matter will be troublesome... Xiao Clan went all the way from Central Plains to the Northwest Continent and passed through too many places. Searching for the whereabouts of Emperor Jade is no less than finding a needle in a haystack. Now we can only try to find it."

"Do I need to tell Hun Tiandi about this?" Yao Yan looked at his father-in-law and asked.

"Don't tell him for the time being, otherwise Soul Clan and Soul Hall's methods will inevitably cause Dou Qi Continent to be restless and turbulent... I will send people to search for it. If they are not found, let's talk about it. Anyway, there is still a long time before you break through Nine Star Dou Sheng. You should have time." Gu Yuan pondered for a while and said slowly.

Everyone knows Soul Hall's methods. If they are allowed to do it, Xiao Clan will be the first to suffer.

"Okay." Yao Yan nodded and responded.

"Senior Xiao Xuan also said something. He said that Hun Tiandi once told him that there was a Emperor Pill Embryo in the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, and he wanted to break through Dou Di, we must get this Emperor Pill Embryo and get the Origin Emperor Qi inside it!" Gu Xun'er looked solemn and told the story of Origin Emperor Qi and Emperor Pill Embryo.

In this regard, Yao Yan did not stop him. He also wanted to see what Gu Yuan thought.
