As for how to use the next few years, Long Xuan decided to conquer that ancient tomb first. The ancient tomb had been successfully copied by his Origin Realm and was currently stored in the Eye of Heavenly Secrets, so he could enter it at any time to play a game.

After successfully completing the challenge, he then ordered his clone to retrieve the treasure from the ancient tomb in reality. With the help of the strategy guide, the clone retrieved the treasure without any difficulty, saving him the trouble of making another trip.

Afterwards, he used his clone to learn from the secret chamber hidden in the Scripture Repository Tower and researched the "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique".

After successfully mastering the "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique," the Blade Gu should also be ready. The Blade Gu can then learn the "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique" and soar to great heights.

By then, his Blade Gu will be invincible, and no human will be able to defeat it in terms of Blade Gu.

Without further hesitation, Long Xuan appeared on the small island he had visited before. In front of him was a bonfire that had long since gone out, left behind by his group, which he still remembered vividly.

He also remembered the Lighthouse Jellyfish he had obtained here. Thinking of this Lighthouse Jellyfish, a thought suddenly struck him, and he couldn't help but frown.

He suddenly realized he might have been making assumptions; could this method really successfully conquer an ancient tomb? Not necessarily.

Because his Origin Realm replicates inanimate objects, it is impossible to successfully replicate powerful living things unless the consciousness of a certain creature is pulled into the Origin Realm. However, the Eye of Heavenly Secrets is ineffective against Gu Insect of a much higher level than itself.

This is not a good solution.

Even if you successfully decipher all the array formations and mechanisms, what then? You have no idea how many living beings are still inside the real ancient tomb.

The thought of living beings still existing in the ancient tomb gave Long Xuan a major headache.

But now that we've already replicated this ancient tomb, how could we not go inside and take a look?

Regardless of whether there were any living beings guarding the tomb in the real world, he decided to explore the Illusion Realm tomb first.

He quickly made a decision and began calculating the location to descend into the tomb.

Digging a tomb raider's tunnel is a technical job. Digging the right tunnel is by no means easy. If you dig off course, you waste a lot of time.

After some time, Long Xuan calculated a suitable location for digging the tomb. However, just as he was about to bring the Earthworker's consciousness in to dig the hole, he suddenly discovered that there was already a large hole not far away. However, the location was very hidden and blocked by tree branches, making it difficult to find.

He was taken aback. Had this ancient tomb been robbed long ago, and he arrived too late?

No, I clearly saw an infinite progress bar, which means there are still treasures underground. Even if this tomb has been robbed, it certainly wasn't completely looted, and there must still be treasures left.

He took a deep breath, a flame appeared in his palm, and he quickly ran into the tunnel.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and vice versa. Even if this tomb has indeed been robbed, it may not be a bad thing. It's possible that a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to cheat the living creatures in the ancient tomb using his Origin Realm methods, but now he doesn't have to worry anymore. If the tomb has really been robbed, even if the living creatures inside aren't completely dead, there will definitely be very few left.

In his view, this was definitely a good thing.

Otherwise, if there were a living creature at the level of Gu King guarding the tomb, even if he tried a thousand times, he wouldn't be able to take away the tomb's treasure.

Given his personality, he would rather give up most of the treasures than compromise his absolute safety. He only needs the most valuable treasures in the tomb; he doesn't care if he loses everything else.

His original plan was to spread out the location of the ancient tomb, lure a group of Gu King into it, and clear out the Gu King- level creatures in the tomb for him. Then, he would use his foresight to take away the most valuable treasures in the tomb.

If this plan is implemented, he will also lose most of the treasures in the tomb, just like the current situation.

Therefore, the fact that the ancient tomb had already been robbed did not affect his mood at all, and he no longer needed to go to great lengths to find a group of Gu King to serve as scouts.

The ancient tombs are very deep. That's how the ancient tombs in this world are. Because powerful Gu cultivators have the ability to move mountains and overturn seas, they can easily build large-scale ancient tombs. Therefore, the ancient tombs in this world are basically deep burials, making them extremely difficult to find.

Long Xuan walked for a long time before finally reaching the bottom. Looking vertically downwards, he discovered a grayish-white tomb passage. The passage was very long, and with the help of the dim wall lamps, it was impossible to see where it led.

Because he had unlimited lives, he didn't need to be as careful as usual and jumped down boldly.

The tomb passage was very quiet. After he jumped down, he could only hear the sound of his own footsteps and his faint breathing. Each ever-burning lamp on the stone wall indicated the progress, which made Long Xuan somewhat disappointed.

He had just seen a section of progress below and thought it was some kind of treasure, but it turned out to be all lamps that would stay on forever.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the eternal lamp is a lamp that will never go out for tens of thousands of years; in reality, it's not very valuable. Even if it were worth some money, he wouldn't care about it anymore.

He looked closely at the murals on the wall and found that all of them had been violently erased, seemingly by tomb raiders. Only a few incomplete characters could be seen on the stone wall.

Based on these incomplete characters, Long Xuan roughly determined that it was not a Cultivation Method, but rather a powerful Gu Recipe.

He couldn't help but show his astonishment. The tomb passage was so long that he couldn't see the end of it. There were rows and rows of murals, and he couldn't count how many there were. What kind of Gu Recipe was this? It was so long. How many words were there that required so many stone walls to be carved into it?

He was stunned. Roughly estimating, the minimum amount of materials needed for this Gu Recipe was in the millions, and that was a conservative estimate.

If there are hundreds of overlapping portions of certain materials, the total amount of materials in this Gu Recipe formula could be in the tens of millions. He just didn't dare to think about that number; it was simply too terrifying.

What kind of concept is Gu Recipe tens of millions of materials? Is this even called Gu Recipe? Given the failure rate, which genius could possibly refine such Gu Insect? I'm truly impressed.

He couldn't even imagine how powerful the Gu Insect refined from so many materials would be. Without a doubt, these Gu Insect possessed world-destroying power, far beyond anyone's imagination. Once the Gu worms were fully formed, they would be invincible.

Unfortunately, this incredible Gu Recipe was destroyed by tomb raiders. This person was incredibly selfish; he learned such a powerful Gu Recipe for himself but didn't want anyone else to learn it, completely destroying all the stone walls. Now, he is probably the only person in the world who has mastered this incredible Gu Recipe.

But who will learn this extraordinary Gu Recipe? It shouldn't be some nobody.

The tomb owner who possessed such a heaven-defying Gu Recipe must have been an extremely powerful figure in life, and his tomb must be extremely dangerous, not something an ordinary person could easily rob.

The person capable of robbing this tomb must be a prodigy. There are probably very few people in the Western Land who could escape unscathed from this haunted tomb.

Long Xuan's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, but he didn't know many monstrous talents in the Western Land, and he couldn't possibly guess who it was, so he stopped thinking about it.

He was also grateful that the tomb had been broken into by this monstrous figure, which had cleared away most of the danger for him.

Otherwise, judging from the long Gu Recipe on the stone wall alone, Long Xuan would have been able to tell that this level of dangerous tomb was definitely not something a mere Marrow Cleansing Stage cultivator like himself could break through, even with the help of the Origin Realm.

However, although this person broke into the tomb and successfully escaped unscathed, his eyesight was not very good. He actually missed a treasure, and what's more, he missed a heaven-defying treasure with infinite progress.

Long Xuan smiled and walked towards the deepest part of the tomb passage.

Although the ancient tomb had been robbed, it was impossible for it to be completely safe. Long Xuan used the progress to determine the location of various traps and mechanisms, thus avoiding them with ease. He managed to sneak into each tomb chamber without losing a single life.

The various tomb chambers had long been looted, and all the murals with writing on them had been destroyed, leaving nothing for those who came after. It was utterly inhumane.

However, there were still some worthless junk left on the ground. The fact that they didn't even bother to pick up anything of low value further proves that the tomb raider was no ordinary person.

However, Long Xuan's personality was different from this tomb raider's. In his view, even a mosquito's leg is meat, and he would not refuse it if it was free. No matter how amazing his wealth was, he would still pluck every last bit of it.

Long Xuan unceremoniously collected all the junk on the ground into his Storage Bag, but he quickly emptied it all out. He then realized that this was Illusion Realm, and what use was there in collecting treasures from the Illusion Realm? He had really lost his mind.

It's not his fault; if anyone's to blame, it's that the Illusion Realm was just too real.

After exploring more than ten tombs, Long Xuan finally discovered a huge tomb chamber where the murals had not been destroyed. He was immediately invigorated and ran forward to carefully read the portraits and inscriptions carved on the walls.

Since his last tomb raiding trip with Long Ziyan, he had gradually developed an interest in looking at ancient tomb murals, and the murals in this tomb immediately aroused his great interest.

The writing on the wall was all Divine Script. Fortunately, influenced by Long Ziyan, his studious clone took the time to learn the Divine Script on his own; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to understand the contents of the wall.

Seeing that the writing on the wall was all Divine Script, Long Xuan became even more excited, because a heritage written in Divine Script must be very ancient and very extraordinary. If the writing on the wall recorded a Cultivation Method, then a Cultivation Method written in Divine Script must be incredibly powerful.

With anticipation in his heart, Long Xuan found the beginning of the text and began to study it carefully, word by word.

However, as he looked at it, he quickly realized something was wrong. What was recorded on the wall was indeed a Cultivation Method, and an extremely Cultivation Method at that, called the "Yin Harvesting Art".

However, this Cultivation Method is actually a dual Cultivation Method Cultivation Method, but it is an evil Cultivation Method of absorbing yin to replenish yang. The one whose yin is absorbed will be drained to death. It is an unequal dual cultivation Cultivation Method that benefits men but not women.

Judging from this Cultivation Method, Long Xuan could tell that the tomb owner was an evil Devil Cultivator who had committed countless evil deeds throughout his life.

However, although the Cultivation Method is evil, it is powerful enough. Even those with Cultivation Method can make rapid progress by practicing it, and it also increases the success rate of breaking through to a higher realm by 10%.

The most outrageous thing is that dual Cultivation Method with a girl of the same clan can improve the purity of one's bloodline, but the maximum increase is only one grade.

Bloodline purity is extremely difficult to improve; even improving it by just one grade is already incredibly powerful.

For those with low-purity bloodlines, purifying only one grade of bloodline may be unnecessary.

However, if a person with a ninth-grade bloodline cultivates this Cultivation Method, their bloodline will become tenth-grade. People with tenth-grade bloodlines are extremely rare, and the effects are completely different from those with a ninth-grade bloodline. This clearly shows just how heaven-defying this dual Cultivation Method is.

As expected, any Cultivation Method recorded in Divine Script is extraordinary, and this Cultivation Method did not disappoint him.

Long Xuan's eyes lit up, and many wonderful ideas began to appear in his mind. His old habit relapsed; he would subconsciously want to create his own ideas for everything he saw.

Seeing the dual Cultivation Method, he subconsciously thought about whether he should create his own dual Cultivation Method, creating eighteen postures, no, eighteen forms.

It doesn't take much time; you just need to adapt the "Yin Harvesting Art," changing the unequal practice of absorbing yin to supplement yang into an equal practice of yin and yang complementing each other, which benefits both men and women.

Creating one's own Cultivation Method Cultivation Method is difficult, but adapting one is much simpler and doesn't require much of his effort. He thinks this plan is feasible and worth a try.
