Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Fortunately, lunchtime was approaching, and Gu Xun'er didn't keep holding onto Han Feng. She ordered someone to prepare lunch and bring it to the courtyard to enjoy.

Han Feng and Gu Xun'er slowly got up and went to the edge of the cliff to look at the distant scenery together.

Gu Xun'er finally noticed Xiao Yan and asked him a few questions about his recent situation with a smile.

Xiao Yan had been sitting quietly for a long time, and had already prepared his thoughts in his mind. He was eager to share his life with Gu Xun'er.

However, not long after they started talking, lunch was served, and Gu Xun'er smiled and invited Han Feng and Xiao Yan to take their seats.

The food of the ancient tribe was naturally excellent, not to mention it was prepared for the young lady.

Cooking is a skill in the Dou Qi Continent; mastering the art of making delicious dishes requires diligent study and practice.

Fine dishes not only bring enjoyment to the taste buds, but also enhance one's cultivation and inspire creativity.

After lunch, the three chatted for a while longer before Han Feng prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Firstly, Gu Xun'er needed to prepare for her coming-of-age ceremony, and secondly, Xiao Yan needed more time to hone his skills and practice his secret techniques.

Gu Xun'er was a little reluctant: "Mr. Han, won't you stay a little longer?"

"There will be plenty of time after your coming-of-age ceremony."

In the ancient clan, as long as Gu Xun'er goes through the coming-of-age ceremony, she will have certain authority, especially after she awakens her divine bloodline.

This was something Han Feng knew from the beginning based on his experiences in his previous life.

At that time, it will be much more convenient to participate in clan meetings or go out on business.

Xiao Yan was also a little reluctant to part, as he hadn't finished saying what he wanted to say to Xun'er.

However, he dared not disobey Han Feng's decision and could only follow Han Feng down the mountain, looking back every few steps.

Standing atop the mountain, Gu Xun'er gazed at the two of them. The cold wind howled, fluttering the hem of Gu Xun'er's blue robe.

"stop looking."

Han Feng said.

Xiao Yan turned his head, blushing, "I was just curious about the terrain here..."

Han Feng didn't even bother to expose him.

The two returned to the reception area. Xiao Yan continued practicing his secret technique, while Han Feng prepared some things to make things easier.

As night fell, Xiao Yan finally managed to master the secret technique.

Han Feng wasn't particularly surprised; he simply smiled and nodded.

Junior Brother's soul power is not weak; after all, he is an alchemist who refined an eighth-grade pill at the Pill Gathering.

"Senior brother, I've also mastered this secret technique. It's not too difficult, but what's its use?"

Xiao Yan asked in confusion.

He still doesn't know what Han Feng wants him to do.

"Now that you have mastered the secret technique, I will reveal a little bit of it to you."

Han Feng said slowly.

"After the coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow, the ancient clan will open the Heavenly Tomb. Each of the eight ancient clans can select two members to enter."

"The Heavenly Tomb?"

Xiao Yan was completely confused. Was this a graveyard?

"The Heavenly Tomb is a special space where time flows several times slower than outside. Three years inside is only half a year outside."

"what?!"

Xiao Yan jumped up in a start.

"Such an amazing place!"

Xiao Yan has never witnessed such a miraculous phenomenon before.

In his mind, time is fair; it doesn't give anyone more or less.

The current phenomenon of time flow difference has shattered Xiao Yan's conventional thinking.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan has a strong ability to adapt to new things. After learning that the ancient clans had such a magical place as the Heavenly Tomb, he began to think about the reasons on a "physical" level.

Before transmigrating to the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan had studied books, and some scholars had proposed theories about the flow of time.

However, in the fantasy world, only a portion of physical theories apply; they cannot be applied entirely.

"Senior brother, are you asking me to go to the Heavenly Tomb to cultivate?"

Xiao Yan then realized what was happening.

"But our Xiao clan has already declined, hasn't it?"

Given the prestige of this place, how could the other ancient families possibly agree to give up a spot for Xiao Yan to join?

"Even in its decline, it was once a member of one of the eight ancient clans."

Han Feng said.

"As long as you have this reason, it is possible to get the ancient clan to agree to your joining."

For so many years, the two slots of the Xiao clan have automatically belonged to the ancient clan, and they have enjoyed these slots for thousands of years. It is only natural that they would give one up this time.

Of course, it makes sense in the eyes of Han Feng and Xiao Yan, but it is very unreasonable in the eyes of the ancient clan.

After all, the ancient clans had long recognized this spot as belonging to them. How could they bear to give away something that was already in their grasp?

Therefore, Han Feng still needs to handle the details.

"Ok."

Xiao Yan nodded, but he had some doubts in his heart.

After listening to what Han Feng had just said, he had actually developed a certain longing for the Heavenly Tomb.

However, Xiao Yan expressed concern about his own strength and the potential risks within the Heavenly Tomb.

Xiao Yan's long-term peaceful life had made him somewhat resistant to such risks. In his mind, he could cultivate peacefully without taking any risks.

To enter the Heavenly Tomb, one would need to interact with members of the other eight ancient clans.

Xiao Yan had seen those young Dou Zun powerhouses before.

Han Feng saw that Xiao Yan's expression was somewhat silent and sighed softly.

Perhaps, sometimes an overly stable life can also bring some disadvantages.

"Don't be nervous. If you don't want to go, you don't have to."

Han Feng said.

"It's just a pity, I was originally planning to have Xun'er and you cooperate in the Heavenly Tomb..."

In an instant, Xiao Yan, who had been somewhat silent, suddenly raised his head, his eyes shooting out a blazing light.

"Senior brother, I want to go to the Heavenly Tomb!"

Chapter 387 Blocking

After Xiao Yan agreed to enter the Heavenly Tomb, Han Feng told him some things he needed to pay attention to, and then they all went back to their rooms to rest.

Han Feng looked at Xiao Yan, whose condition was clearly different, and shook his head slightly.

At such a young age, he clearly still has a fondness for beautiful women.

He said Xun'er's name without the slightest hesitation.

Han Feng was speechless, although this was something he had expected.

Of course, he wouldn't act as a matchmaker; how things develop between Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan depends entirely on their personal wishes.

Han Feng would not show favoritism towards Xiao Yan simply because Xiao Yan is his junior brother.

The next morning.

As the first rays of sunlight shone on the ancient land, many of the ancient tribesmen excitedly went out to prepare for their coming-of-age ceremony.

Han Feng and Xiao Yan got up early, only to find that Gu Xun'er had already arrived at the door.

"Up so early?"

Han Feng looked at Xun'er and asked with a smile.

"After all, it's an important day."

Gu Xun'er gently placed her hands in front of her, her delicate and beautiful eyes appearing exceptionally dreamy in the morning light.

Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned.

"Then let's set off and get to the ceremony location as soon as possible."

Han Feng said.

"Ah."

Gu Xun'er waved her hand gently, and a snow-white, robust unicorn flapped its wings and flew from the forest to the three of them.

"let's go."

The three followed the unicorn's footsteps and arrived at a huge plaza.

In the ancient tribes, only members of noble status are entitled to possess unicorns. When the Black Annihilation Army saw the unicorn, they knew that the visitor must be of extraordinary status.

However, it seems that Gu Xun'er's fame doesn't need to be proven by a unicorn.

"Miss!"

The Black Annihilation Army general bowed respectfully.

Gu Xun'er nodded slightly in response.

However, just as Gu Xun'er walked into a special area, the Black Annihilation Army stopped Han Feng and Xiao Yan.

“Miss, according to the ancient clan’s rules, no one other than a member of the clan or a specially invited guest is allowed to enter the core area.”

Gu Xun'er frowned slightly, her gaze becoming somewhat sharp.

While that's the logic, her status as the eldest daughter of an ancient clan also makes sense in many situations.

She brought two people into the core area to watch the ceremony, which was a harmless little thing in itself.

Why is the Black Annihilation Army trying to stop us now?

The reason is simple: someone gave special instructions to obstruct it.

"Step aside!"

Gu Xun'er said in a cold voice.

At this moment, two more elders of the ancient clan walked out from the core area and said to Gu Xun'er, "Miss, rules are rules. It's best not to cause trouble at the coming-of-age ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er felt a surge of anger, and golden flames burned fiercely in her eyes.

Indeed, she held a prominent position in the ancient tribe, being the daughter of the tribe's chief.

However, because she did not grow up in the ancient clan and did not like to go out after returning, she has been in seclusion to cultivate, so the elders of the clan did not pay much attention to her.

In other words, before the coming-of-age ceremony, Gu Xun'er was still a child and was not qualified to participate in clan affairs.

Ancient clans have inherited their traditions for thousands of years, and their rules are naturally extremely old-fashioned and cannot be broken.

Some elders in the ancient tribe did indeed like to adhere to these rules when speaking.

Han Feng looked calmly at the group of people who were trying to obstruct him, and gently patted Gu Xun'er on the shoulder.

"Xun'er, there's no need for that. Since the ancient clan has such a rule, we will simply abide by it."

The two elders of the ancient clan smiled inwardly when they saw Han Feng lower his head.

This was entirely expected. In the face of the ancient clans, how many people would dare to disobey orders?

You have only yourself to blame for offending the Grand Commander of the Black Annihilation Army.

The Grand Commander of the Black Annihilation Army was also a member of the younger generation of the ancient clan, but compared to Gu Xun'er, who did not hold a position, they possessed a certain amount of real power within the army.
