Absorbing Gu Yuan's Breakthrough Experience
Gu Yuan was helpless.
He wasn't actually staring at the entrance to the Heavenly Tomb on purpose.
After all, given his status, he doesn't need to get involved in such matters.
The fact that he spoke up at that particular time was purely coincidental!
He arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb, originally intending to find Xiao Lin and fulfill his first condition: to share his experience of breaking through from Seven-Star Dou Saint to the Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint with Xiao Lin!
Little did he expect that as soon as he arrived, he saw Xiao Lin whisper a few words to Ling Miao, and then Ling Miao made that suggestion.
In Gu Yuan's eyes, wasn't Lin Xiao blatantly helping the Xiao Household abduct his daughter?
"What exactly is Lin Xiao's relationship with the Xiao Household? Why has he helped the Xiao Household time and time again?"
Gu Yuan, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but frown.
However, he had already secretly instructed the Gu Clans to investigate Lin Xiao's identity.
Unfortunately, the earliest trace he found of Lin Xiao was in the Black-Corner Region of the Northwest Continent, where Jia Nan Academy.
Prior to this, all information about Lin Xiao was blank.
Even with the abilities of his Gu Clan, they were unable to find any more clues!
It can only be said that Gu Yuan went in the wrong direction!
If he had just investigated Xiao Lin, the old patriarch of the Xiao Household, Xiao Lin's identity would probably have been exposed long ago!
To be fair, Xiao Lin's decisive stepping down from the position of clan leader was a rather wise choice.
Otherwise, the Gu Clans would likely keep their eyes fixed on him.
Unlike now, he can not only conceal his identity but also secretly plot developments.
Just as Gu Yuan was pondering the relationship between Xiao Lin and the Xiao Household, in front of the Heavenly Tomb, a group of the Emperor Clan members who had already secured their spots were preparing to enter.
"Boom"
With a tremor, a primal, ancient aura slowly emanated from the Void Space, filling the souls of everyone present with a sense of awe...
The Heavenly Tomb has been opened!
At the same time, everyone's gaze was fixed on that Nihility space.
"Boom!"
Then, an even louder noise came.
Immediately, everyone saw that the previously Nihility space suddenly cracked open with a spatial rift that was a thousand feet wide!
Within that spatial rift, a ball of silver light gradually emerged, eventually transforming into a massive spatial gate, hundreds of feet in size.
As for that wild and ancient aura, it emanated from this spatial gate.
"So this is the Heavenly Tomb Gate..."
Gazing at the magnificent gate towering between heaven and earth, someone couldn't help but murmur to themselves.
"Everyone, once the personnel are confirmed, let's enter the Heavenly Tomb!"
Originally, Gu Nanhai didn't need to show up this time.
But now that he's here, he'll naturally be in charge.
Hearing Gu Nanhai's words, everyone nodded.
"Brother Xiao Yan, and also Big Brother and Second Brother, let's enter the Heavenly Tomb together later! Because of the special nature of the Heavenly Tomb, if we enter separately, we will be randomly teleported away."
As a member of the Gu Clan, Xun'er naturally had a better understanding of the Heavenly Tomb.
At this moment, she also spoke up and offered suggestions to Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li.
"Um!"
The three brothers nodded. In matters like this, they would definitely listen to Xun'er's advice, as she knew more about the Heavenly Tomb.
With Xun'er by their side, the three of them, who were complete strangers to the Heavenly Tomb, could avoid a lot of trouble.
"Boom!"
At that moment, another loud noise rang out.
Then, everyone saw the ancient gate located in the spatial rift slowly open.
"Buzz~"
Almost simultaneously, a blinding beam of light burst forth from it, illuminating the entire world!
"Before entering the Heavenly Tomb, I must remind you once again that you can only stay in this Heavenly Tomb for a maximum of three years. Once this time limit is exceeded, the Heavenly Tomb will automatically expel you."
Therefore, do not do anything dangerous in the final moments!
Gazing at the slowly cracking ancient gate, Gu Nanhai spoke again in a deep voice.
The three years inside the Heavenly Tomb are actually only half a year in the outside world!
This kind of place with a time difference between the inside and outside is definitely a top-tier training ground!
The fact that the Gu Clans have been able to control the Heavenly Tomb for so many years is a testament to their strength.
"Boom"
Finally, after a final, deafening roar, the ancient gate opened completely!
At the same time, a rich, ancient aura also spread out from it like rolling mist.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Immediately, figures disappeared into the ancient gate that radiated dazzling light.
"Father, Mother, Teacher, and everyone else, we're going in!"
Before entering the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan smiled and waved to his relatives and friends.
"Ding'er, Li'er, Xiao Yan, remember to take good care of yourselves, and also protect Xun'er!"
This was a request from Xiao Yan's parents.
"Xiao Yan, your teacher will be waiting for you to emerge stronger!"
This is the blessing from the Yao Lao.
Xiao Yan, you must be careful!
At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian's face showed both worry and blessing.
As for the others, needless to say, they all hope that Xiao Yan and the others will return safely and become even stronger.
Xiao Lin remained expressionless, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
However, I'm pretty sure I won't have to worry!
After all, as long as the Xiao Household patriarch is in the Heavenly Tomb, the Xiao Household members will not be in any danger.
What Xiao Lin was actually thinking about was when he would enter the Heavenly Tomb...
Just as Xiao Lin was pondering, everyone had already entered the Heavenly Tomb.
As for the rest of the people, they can stay in the Gu Clan for the next six months, or they can leave on their own and wait for someone to come and pick them up after six months.
For a group of people above the Dou Venerable, half a year is not a long time, so they mostly chose to stay in the Gu Clan.
It should be noted that the environment of the Gu Clan was quite suitable for cultivation.
Therefore, whether it was Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, or the Yao Lao of the Starfall Pavilion, or even Xiao Lin and the others from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, they all chose to stay in the Gu Clan to cultivate.
Xiao Lin was especially among them!
Almost as soon as Xiao Yan and the others entered the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Lin was called away by Gu Yuan.
Because Gu Yuan is preparing to fulfill the first of the three conditions he initially agreed to with Xiao Lin!
Therefore, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't object.
The Heavenly Tomb will remain open for six months. Before that, he will first obtain the experience from Gu Yuan to break through from the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Saint to the Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint.
He can enter the Heavenly Tomb when there's only one month left.
This was Xiao Lin's plan.
In any case, one month outside is roughly half a year inside the Heavenly Tomb.
That's enough for him to ask his ancestors to get things done.
Right now, the most important thing for Xiao Lin is to improve his strength.
And so, for a period of time afterward, Xiao Lin spent almost every day with Gu Yuan, learning from him how to break through to a higher realm.
In fact, Xiao Lin had sought advice from Zhukun on how to break through to a higher realm in his earlier years.
However, Zhukun was ultimately a magical beast, and the breakthroughs of magical beasts and humans were obviously different.
Although they share some similarities, there are still obvious differences.
Xiao Lin can take some points as a reference, but he absolutely cannot copy it!
Gu Yuan's breakthrough experience is clearly much more useful than Zhukun's.
However, Xiao Lin can only use this as a reference.
It just means there are more things to refer to.
As time went by, Xiao Lin became increasingly confident about how he would break through to the Nine-Star Dou Saint realm.
To be honest, having someone with even greater experience share their knowledge with you is incredibly helpful!
Sure enough, many of Xiao Lin's questions on the path of cultivation were answered by Gu Yuan.
If Xiao Lin hadn't been somewhat secretive and didn't want Gu Yuan to see through his secrets, he would have gained even more experience from Gu Yuan!
Even so, it was already quite good for Xiao Lin.
Because within the Heavenly Tomb, there exists another being from whom he can seek guidance and gain experience!
