Entering the Heavenly Tomb Again
In a mountain range of the Gu Clan, several figures stood suspended in mid-air.
These people, needless to say, were Xiao Yan, Xiao Chen, Xun'er, and Gu Yuan.
This time, the four of them will enter the Heavenly Tomb together.
We won't go into the stories of Xiao Yan and Xiao Chen; they were there to see Xiao Xuan.
Gu Yuan wanted to meet with Xiao Xuan first to find out more about the Heavenly Tomb Spirit, and then try to invite him to join him in dealing with the Heavenly Tomb Spirit!
Therefore, unlike the Original Work Gu Yuan simply forced the Heavenly Tomb to open and send Xiao Yan inside, this time Gu Yuan himself intends to go in!
Let's talk about the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan.
In the Original Work, she didn't go in this time either, but this time her father and Xiao Yan both went in, and she insisted on going into the Heavenly Tomb!
In Xun'er's words, with her father and Brother Xiao Yan around, what danger could she possibly be afraid of?
Xun'er's words made such a good point that Xiao Yan and Gu Yuan were both speechless.
After all, one of them is Xun'er's man, and the other is Xun'er's father. They can't very well admit to themselves that they're impotent in front of their own women (daughters), can they?
Therefore, Xun'er eventually followed along.
Of course, there were also many Elders of the Gu Clans present around them.
Their purpose in arriving was to guard the outside after their clan patriarch and young lady entered the Heavenly Tomb, preventing any accidents from happening.
"The Heavenly Tomb opens automatically once every 20 years, usually around the time of my Gu Clan's Coming-of-Age Ceremony. I rarely do things like forcibly tearing open a gap at an inappropriate time."
After all, even with my abilities, there are certain risks involved in doing this..."
Looking at the mountain range before him, Gu Yuan couldn't help but explain.
To forcibly tear open a gap in the Heavenly Tomb, one would need to reach at least the level of Nine-Star Dou Saint!
Of all the Gu Clans, only Gu Yuan had the power to do this.
Otherwise, wouldn't the Gu Clans that control the Heavenly Tomb be able to send their clansmen into it for training at any time?
That's obviously unrealistic.
Gu Yuan, of course, wouldn't forcibly tear open a gap in the Heavenly Tomb at will; would he be so idle as to do that?
Hearing Gu Yuan's explanation, Xiao Yan couldn't help but nod.
Even with his current strength as an Early Eight-Star Dou Saint, he could only vaguely sense that there was something unusual about the Void in front of him. As for forcibly tearing it open, he didn't even have the space to do so!
This demonstrates just how demanding the conditions must be to forcibly tear open a breach in the Heavenly Tomb.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. I'm going to forcefully tear open the Heavenly Tomb. You all step back a bit."
As Gu Yuan finished speaking, Xiao Yan and the others did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately retreated a distance.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan felt a terrifying pressure gradually emanating from his seemingly unassuming future father-in-law, a pressure that made him feel uneasy and unable to resist!
"Is this the power of Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint? As an Early Eight-Star Dou Saint, I can't even muster the thought of resistance... Even the Nihility Devouring Flame is far inferior to Uncle Gu Yuan!"
At this moment, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh.
This was arguably the first time Xiao Yan had ever experienced the power of a Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint at such close range!
For Xiao Yan, this was an absolute breakthrough in power!
Just as Xiao Yan was sighing, Gu Yuan finally made his move.
Gu Yuan didn't make any other moves; he simply waved his large hand in the Void.
"Splash~"
The next second, the energy between heaven and earth surged and roared, and faintly, the sound of waves could even be heard!
This is precisely the method by which Nine-Star Dou Saint powerhouse manipulates the energy tides of heaven and earth.
Amidst the surging tides of energy in the heavens and earth, Xiao Yan felt as if he could be swallowed up at any moment!
Cold sweat trickled down Xiao Yan's forehead.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan's purpose in manipulating the energy tides of heaven and earth was not aimed at Xiao Yan.
Otherwise, Xiao Yan might not have been able to withstand even one move from Gu Yuan!
"Buzzing~"
Just as Xiao Yan was marveling at the strength Gu Yuan had displayed, the Void Space in front of them suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
Then, a pitch-black crack was slowly and forcibly torn open.
At the same time, an unusually ancient and wild aura emanated from the crack.
Having been inside the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan naturally recognized this scent as belonging to the Heavenly Tomb.
"Phew, that's enough. Let's go in. The task of Gu Dao the entrance to the Heavenly Tomb is now entrusted to you."
After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Gu Yuan first spoke to Xiao Yan and the other two, then turned to another elder of the Gu Clan behind him and said something.
"Chief, please leave this to me!"
Gu Dao nodded solemnly in agreement.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan didn't say anything more. After calling out to Xiao Yan and the other two, they rushed into the Heavenly Tomb together.
"Whoosh"
And so, under the watchful eyes of Gu Dao and the rest of the Gu Clans, Xiao Yan, Xun'er, Xiao Chen, and Gu Yuan disappeared into the gaping black rift.
The Heavenly Tomb remains unchanged.
A misty fog enveloped the space, and solitude and silence seemed to be the only dominant theme of this world.
"Buzz~"
As space twisted, four figures stepped into the area.
Just as the four entered the Heavenly Tomb, in some unknown area, a figure that seemed to be formed from countless shadows slowly opened its emotionless eyes.
"Gu Yuan..."
A low murmur came from the mysterious figure.
However, since the purpose of Gu Yuan's entry into the Heavenly Tomb was unknown, the mysterious entity simply continued to lie dormant quietly.
"As expected, I still can't feel anything..."
On the other side, Gu Yuan, the moment he entered the Heavenly Tomb, swept through the entire Heavenly Tomb space with his own Soul Power.
However, he found no trace of the mysterious Heavenly Tomb Spirit.
However, it was precisely because they couldn't find it that Gu Yuan became even more determined to eliminate the Heavenly Tomb Spirit!
"Let's go straight to the Third Layer of the Heavenly Tomb and see Xiao Xuan first!"
Gu Yuan suggested.
"Good!"
Xiao Yan and his two companions naturally did not object to this.
Without hesitation, the four headed straight for the Third Layer of the Heavenly Tomb.
With a powerful figure like Gu Yuan following them, the Soul Body within the Heavenly Tomb didn't dare to act recklessly at all.
In fact, to save time, they encountered a Heavenly Tomb energy storm, which Gu Yuan dispersed with a wave of his hand.
He looked so dashing!
Of course, even without Gu Yuan, Xiao Yan could have done all that with his current strength.
Eight-Star Dou Sheng's strength is enough to dominate the entire Heavenly Tomb!
However, as the four of them got closer to the Heavenly Tomb, for some reason, they felt increasingly oppressed.
It seemed like something was watching them...
