Eternal madness

Chapter 200 The Heavenly Tomb Opens

"Oh~ I see. So, the Ancient Clan Chief is the strongest person on the Dou Qi Continent today?" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Yuan's lips still curled up slightly when he heard this: "They're all just empty names. Alright, I suppose you're the one who brought those people into the Heavenly Tomb this time, right?"

Now that the Spirit Clan members are absent, the four of you will use their slots, plus the two slots your Xiao Clan brought with you, making a total of four people.”

"Thank you, Chief Gu," Xiao Li said, cupping his hands in thanks.

"You should rest well too. I'm leaving now." Gu Yuan then departed.

Xiao Li still didn't know how Gu Yuan left; his speed was so fast that it was almost imperceptible, but it was none of his business.

Xiao Li turned around and went back to his room, a slight smile on his lips. He then took out the spatial jade mirror that Xiao Kong had given him.

“Ancestor, I need to trouble you to look after the family and Yin Valley these days. I beat up a few Spirit Clan guys in the Ancient Realm. These guys are crazy, so I need your help to keep an eye on Yin Valley.”

"To prevent those guys from not being able to find us and then targeting Yin Valley, by the way, the Ancient Clan Chief told me that the Spirit Clan Chief, Ling Dong, is a mid-stage Six-Star Dou Sheng expert, and there's also a Five-Star Dou Sheng level Grand Elder in the clan. Ancestor, if you encounter them, please handle them yourself."

Xiao Li sent out the message, then returned to the room. Seeing the soft and fragrant Pei sisters lying on the bed, Xiao Li simply got into bed as well, embracing one of them in each arm.

Xiao Li looked at the ceiling and grinned: 'Hmph, you really think you're the strongest? The Soul Emperor has lost most of his strength? You, Gu Yuan, actually believe that? Although the Human Soul Emperor can't beat you, he has his methods, it's not like he can't deal with you.'

The Soul Clan has been preparing for this for a long time. Your Ancient Clan is so arrogant and ignorant. If it weren't for Xiao Yanzi, you would all be finished!

The Human Soul Emperor looks down on you, Gu Yuan, and you really think you're someone important? A late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng is indeed someone important, but compared to Ancestor Xiao Xuan and the Human Soul Emperor, you're far inferior.

Besides, if you include Zi Yan's father, you two would both have to stay in the back. Do you even understand the value of a Taixu Ancient Dragon reaching the peak of a nine-star Dou Sheng?

The old Dragon Emperor is definitely a soul at the Emperor level. He doesn't have the weaknesses of other magical beasts' souls. Plus, with the powerful physical body of the Ancient Void Dragon, tsk tsk tsk, killing him might be a bit difficult, but he can definitely be your spinning top.

. . . . . .

the next day,
This is the coming-of-age ceremony of the ancient clan, where the young talents of the ancient clan begin to test their bloodline level and are granted clan emblems.

Xiao Li sneered at the granting of this clan emblem, saying that it took him more than half a year to complete the design when he received his own clan emblem, while the Pei sisters took nearly a year to complete theirs.

Xiao Li's grandfather, Xiao Ting, spent a year and a half drawing the clan crest.

Ancestor Xiao Kong said that the Xiao Clan's clan mark was cultivated by themselves, and its amplification far exceeded that of other clans. This is why the Xiao Clan was the number one clan back then, because the Xiao Clan was very powerful!
Xiao Li was just watching as an observer, but some foolhardy person actually dared to challenge him. One of them was a nine-star Dou Zun, whose name he didn't know, but his bloodline test showed that he had an eighth-grade bloodline.

Xiao Li knocked him down with just one punch, without any pressure.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, the Heavenly Tomb will be opened.

"Our destination is the third level of the Heavenly Tomb, the tomb of our ancestor Xiao Xuan," Xiao Li told everyone.

"The Heavenly Tomb is similar to the Gate of Life and Death from back then. Yuhan and Yurou, you should still remember the Gate of Life and Death, right? It was made in imitation of the Heavenly Tomb. Naturally, there are energy bodies inside, and energy cores will fall out."

"As for Grandpa, you can just come with us." Xiao Li first told everyone about the situation at the Heavenly Tomb.

Everyone nodded, after all, it was their first time visiting the Heavenly Tomb. They soon arrived at the depths of the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range, where people were already waiting.

Suddenly, the world trembled violently, and a wild, ancient aura slowly emanated from the void. Under this ancient aura, everyone present felt a sense of awe deep within their souls.

"The Heavenly Tomb is about to open."

Boom——

The void suddenly erupted with a deafening roar. Immediately afterward, a spatial rift a thousand feet long stretched out from the sky. At the center of the rift, a ball of silver light gradually emerged, eventually transforming into a spatial gate a hundred feet long. A vast, ancient aura emanated from this gate. "The Gate of the Heavenly Tomb!"

"Everyone, you should know the rules for entering the Heavenly Tomb. Each clan has two slots, and there should be no more than two. However, this trip is a bit special."

The Xiao clan has returned to the Heavenly Tomb after a thousand years. It is time for our ancient clan to return the quota that we borrowed from the Xiao clan. This time, our ancient clan will add two more quotas for the Xiao clan on the trip to the Heavenly Tomb.

"These spots are a gift from my ancient clan, to demonstrate the friendship between our two clans. Thus, the journey to the Heavenly Tomb begins!" Elder Tongxuan's aged figure appeared in the sky, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding figures as he spoke calmly.

The Xiao clan had four spots available this time, and the other imperial clans all looked towards that spot, discovering that the Xiao clan indeed had four people.

The rules for entering the Heavenly Tomb have always been the same, with each race having two slots, which has continued to this day. However, only the Ancient Race, as the race that guards the Heavenly Tomb, receives greater benefits. For example, this time, the Spirit Race has already left in a sorry state.

The ancient clan will definitely send two more people, saying they're using the Spirit Clan's quota. So what? After all, the Heavenly Tomb is on their territory, and they're in charge.

Rumble

In the sky, the ancient gate located within the spatial rift suddenly erupted with a deafening roar. Then, the gate slowly cracked open, and blinding light burst forth, illuminating the world.

“Entering the Heavenly Tomb separately will randomly teleport us to a location. Let’s enter the Heavenly Tomb together so we won’t get separated,” Xiao Li said.

Everyone nodded.

"If the quotas have already been allocated, then prepare to enter the Heavenly Tomb. Remember, you can only stay in the Heavenly Tomb for three years. After three years, the Heavenly Tomb will automatically expel you." Elder Tongxuan's voice came again.

The flow of time in the Heavenly Tomb is different from that in the outside world. Three years in the Heavenly Tomb is equivalent to only half a year in the outside world.

Therefore, this Heavenly Tomb is an excellent place for training. Moreover, it not only offers ample time but also contains treasures like energy cores. Cultivating there for three years will definitely lead to a significant improvement in strength.

laugh--

As the gate opened, Xiao Li and the others entered the Heavenly Tomb together.

. . . . . .

In this foggy and strange place, there are occasional strange fires flickering in the distance, and then they disappear in a flash, and a deathly silence envelopes this strange land.

laugh--

The silent earth suddenly distorted, and then four figures holding hands slowly emerged from the space. As soon as they appeared, the fighting spirit within their bodies began to circulate almost simultaneously, and they cautiously observed their surroundings.

"This place really does resemble the Gate of Life and Death," Pei Yuru said, looking around.

Pei Yuhan sensed the surrounding environment: "It is indeed very similar, but the energy of heaven and earth here is several times more concentrated than that of the Gate of Life and Death! It is even more concentrated than that of the ancient realm outside!"

Xiao Ting remained silent, unaware of anything.

"Alright, let's go. Let's go to the third floor to see Ancestor Xiao Xuan!" Xiao Li said.

"Ah."

. . . . . .

Deep within the third level of the Heavenly Tomb
A figure dressed in light blue sat cross-legged in the void, seemingly in a meditative state. Suddenly, the figure raised his head, opened his eyes, and revealed a face that was not particularly handsome, but always gave off a special charm. His black hair was draped over his shoulders, and his pair of jet-black pupils were like black holes, deep and filled with an unusual wisdom, exuding a captivating charm.

"Even after thousands of years, I can still feel this familiar taste."

(Note: There is a time difference between the Heavenly Tomb and the outside world; for Xiao Xuan, it is indeed several thousand years.)
