Deep within the mountains of the Gu Clan, several figures hovered in mid-air.

"Mo Yu, Xiao Yan, according to the rules, the Heavenly Tomb opens once every twenty years. You both entered last time, and judging by the timeline, there’s still quite a while before it naturally opens again."

Gu Yuan clasped his hands behind his back, shifting his gaze away from the void ahead as he spoke.

"However, I will forcefully tear open a rift in the Heavenly Tomb to let you both in. But remember, do not stay inside for more than a year, or else the Heavenly Tomb will reject you."

"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged glances before nodding simultaneously.

At the same time, Mo Yu couldn’t help but feel intrigued about the legendary Xiao Xuan. After all, this man had once come close to stepping into the realm of Dou Di. If not for the absence of the Emperor’s Origin Essence in the Dou Qi Continent, with Xiao Xuan’s talent and strength, he would likely have become the next Dou Di after Tuo She Ancient Emperor.

Even the likes of Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan held deep apprehension toward Xiao Xuan.

At that moment, Gu Yuan waved his hand, and the energy between heaven and earth surged, resembling the roar of tidal waves.

Soon after, the void space ahead trembled violently, and a pitch-black rift was forcibly torn open. An ancient and primordial aura seeped out from within.

"Mo Yu, Xiao Yan, go quickly and return soon!"

As Gu Yuan’s deep voice resonated, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan nodded, not hesitating further. Their figures turned into streaks of light and shot into the rift, vanishing from sight.

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, a misty haze shrouded the space, enveloped in solitude and silence, as if those were the only melodies of this world.

The still space suddenly twisted as two figures emerged, stepping onto the void.

Mo Yu swept his gaze across the familiar surroundings, letting out a soft sigh. The last time he had come here, he had only been at the Dou Zun level. But now, he stood among the peak experts of the continent.

"Let’s go meet Senior Xiao Xuan." Mo Yu chuckled.

Xiao Yan nodded at his words. He then scanned the surroundings, his vast soul power spreading outward before he pointed in a direction. "This way."

Following Xiao Yan’s direction, Mo Yu nodded slightly. Without further delay, the two turned into streaks of light, swiftly heading toward the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb.

The tomb was filled with countless energy beings, some of whom were quite powerful.

However, even those beings displayed shock upon sensing the overwhelming pressure emanating from the two figures streaking through the sky. None dared to obstruct them, only watching as they disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.

With their current speed and the absence of obstacles, it took them barely an hour to reach the depths of the Heavenly Tomb.

During their first visit, this journey had taken them several months.

In the deepest region of the Heavenly Tomb, an ancient tombstone stood on a barren plain.

Seeing the tombstone, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. He knew that this must be the resting place of the famed ancestor of the Xiao Clan—Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Yan approached the tombstone, knelt down on both legs, and gently bowed his head against the stone. "Descendant Xiao Yan pays respects to the ancestor."

Mo Yu also stepped forward, giving a slight bow before clasping his hands in respect.

"Alright, enough bowing, you two little brats."

A soft chuckle suddenly echoed beside them.

The two lifted their heads abruptly, only to see a carefree-looking man leaning lazily against the tombstone.

The man’s facial features were not particularly handsome, yet his face exuded a unique charm. His long black hair cascaded over his shoulders, and his pitch-black eyes, deep as a black hole, gleamed with an unusual wisdom that seemed to draw people in.

The gentle smile on his face felt like the warm breeze of spring.

This man was naturally Xiao Xuan.

"Six Star Dou Sheng ,Peak Heavenly Realm Soul, and possessing several Heavenly Flames, including the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame..."

Xiao Xuan’s starry eyes swept over Xiao Yan. With just one glance, he saw through every aspect of Xiao Yan’s strength. He then smiled slightly and nodded in approval. "Little guy, well done."

After speaking, Xiao Xuan turned his gaze toward Mo Yu. His expression froze slightly, and a trace of surprise surfaced in his deep black eyes. After a long pause, he murmured with a puzzled tone,

"Strange... Aside from your Seven Star Dou Sheng strength, I can’t seem to see through anything else. And those lightning forces on you... they don’t seem to belong to this continent.

"Little guy, it looks like you’re carrying quite a few secrets."

Had Xiao Chen been present, he would have been utterly shocked. In the Xiao Clan’s history, no one had ever been able to escape Xiao Xuan’s discerning eyes.

Mo Yu was also momentarily stunned. It was true that the Thunder Soul he possessed did not originate from the Dou Qi Continent, but over the years, Xiao Xuan was the first person to state it so definitively. After all, the continent was vast, and even someone like Gu Yuan wouldn’t dare claim to know every rare treasure within it.

This alone demonstrated the extraordinary insight of Xiao Xuan. Moreover, it seemed that he had already deduced that there were other continents beyond the Dou Qi Continent.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan also took the opportunity to introduce Mo Yu to Xiao Xuan. As Xiao Yan enthusiastically praised Mo Yu’s abilities, Xiao Xuan’s interest in him grew.

"Haha, so Mo Yu is from the Lei Clan? No wonder your lightning power is so formidable."

Hearing Xiao Yan’s introduction, even someone of Xiao Xuan’s status couldn’t help but offer genuine praise.

If Mo Yu had been nurtured as a top genius of the Lei Clan, it wouldn’t have been too surprising. As the former patriarch of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Xuan understood that with the heritage of these ancient clans, even a talentless individual could be forcefully raised to Sheng level if resources were poured in. It simply wasn’t worth the investment.

However, just like Xiao Yan, Mo Yu had risen from humble beginnings and entirely relied on himself to reach such a level. This alone made Xiao Xuan admire him.

"Haha, Senior flatters me." Mo Yu smiled humbly.

Xiao Yan chuckled and shook his head. "Mo Yu has always been my role model."

There’s a saying: Some friendships take a lifetime, while others form in an instant.

Despite it being their first meeting, Mo Yu and Xiao Xuan found their personalities to be quite compatible. Unconsciously, the three of them chatted for nearly half an hour.

"Alright, tell me about what has happened over the years."

Xiao Xuan sat cross-legged with a gentle smile.

Mo Yu turned toward Xiao Yan, who nodded, organizing his thoughts before recounting everything that had transpired over the years, detailing all the major events and the current situation.

Hearing about the series of thrilling and perilous encounters from Xiao Yan, Xiao Xuan maintained a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, showing no change in expression despite the shocking content.

"Now that the Hun Clan is growing stronger, my purpose in coming to the Heavenly Tomb is to seek a way to resurrect our ancestor. If you, elder, are willing to lend a hand, even the Hun Clan would surely be unable to stir up any trouble!" Xiao Yan paused as he spoke, his eyes filled with a trace of eagerness as he looked at Xiao Xuan and spoke softly.

As Xiao Yan’s voice fell, Mo Yu also turned his gaze toward Xiao Xuan.

Although he knew that resurrecting Xiao Xuan was somewhat unrealistic, he still wanted to hear what this old rival of Hun Tiandi had to say.

"Resurrection?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan was slightly stunned, then he chuckled and shook his head, saying, "I am now merely a remnant soul. From a certain perspective, I may not even qualify as that. If it weren’t for the strange nature of the Heavenly Tomb, I would have long dissipated into the heavens and earth. As for resurrection... I fear it is truly impossible."

Hearing this, disappointment flashed across Xiao Yan’s face.

Mo Yu patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, then looked at Xiao Xuan and said, "Senior, if one reaches the Dou Di level, they should be able to help you revive, right?"

"Dou Di?" Xiao Xuan was once again startled by Mo Yu’s words. He softly repeated this title, which had once driven him to be so dedicated and relentless. A complex look surfaced in his eyes before he bitterly smiled and shook his head. "Heh... don’t waste your energy on someone like me, who is already dead."

Though he said this, for some reason, when facing this silver-eyed young man, Xiao Xuan couldn’t shake a faint feeling in his heart. It seemed that this person had both the potential and the confidence to achieve the Dou Di realm.

"Ancestor, do you know what exactly is in the Tou She Ancient Emperor’s mansion? Could it truly help someone advance to Dou Di?" Xiao Yan, having collected himself, furrowed his brows and asked.

"That... let’s start from Dou Di. The matters of ancient times are difficult to verify. No one understands why it has become so difficult to reach the Dou Di level now.

Back then, when I had reached the late peak of Nine Star Dou Sheng, I had tried to break through that elusive level. However, despite my efforts, I ultimately failed. Yet, from those repeated failures, I did discover something." Xiao Xuan’s eyes flickered with light.

"Oh? What discovery?" Xiao Yan’s spirit lifted, while Mo Yu’s eyes gleamed with a thoughtful look.

"With my strength back then, I was capable of truly challenging the Dou Di realm. However, each time I was about to break through that barrier, I would feel a kind of emptiness from the depths of my soul.

That sense of emptiness made me realize that I seemed to be missing something crucial in the process of advancing to Dou Di. This thing is extremely important. If one can obtain it, breaking through to Dou Di is not an impossibility," Xiao Xuan said, his face solemn.

"I call this vital energy the Origin Emperor Qi. Only by possessing this Origin Emperor Qi can one truly break through that barrier and become the supreme being of this world!"

"Origin Emperor Qi..." Xiao Yan murmured softly, then continued, "Ancestor, you mean that in ancient times, there was Origin Emperor Qi, which allowed Dou Di experts to appear. But now, the Origin Emperor Qi has disappeared from the world, so no new Dou Di has emerged?"

"That should be the case. I once traveled through most of the Dou Qi Continent, but I never sensed the presence of the Origin Emperor Qi," Xiao Xuan nodded and said.

"Oh? So, does that mean the Tou She Ancient Emperor’s mansion contains the Origin Emperor Qi?" Mo Yu asked, feigning sudden realization.

"I am not sure whether the mansion contains Origin Emperor Qi, but I do know that there is a nascent Emperor-grade pill in that mansion. And Hun Tiandi’s goal is precisely that," Xiao Xuan shook his head and said.

"That nascent Di-grade pill is likely the only one in existence. Therefore, if Hun Tiandi obtains it, he will very likely absorb the Origin Emperor Qi within it, thereby breaking through to the Dou Di level—a realm that has not been reached in ten thousand years."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan’s expression became grave. Just the mention of that nascent Emperor-grade pill was enough to drive any Nine Star Dou Sheng to madness.

Mo Yu, on the other hand, thought of the Emperor’s Origin Essence that the Wind Emperor had left him in the restricted area of the Misty Cloud Sect in the Jia Ma Empire. If they truly could not stop Hun Tiandi from obtaining the Di-grade pill, then he would have no choice but to use this trump card in advance.

Although he preferred to first stabilize his strength after reaching the peak of Nine Star Dou Sheng before seeking a breakthrough, if Hun Tiandi succeeded, the entire continent would be thrown into chaos.

"Ancestor, do you know the location of the Tou She Ancient Emperor’s mansion?" Xiao Yan asked expectantly.

"I do not. The reason I know about the Emperor-grade pill in the mansion is from the time before the Tou She Ancient Emperor Jade was split.

However, before I could fully decode the information within the jade, the eight ancient clans stirred into action because of it.

This led to a great battle, which ultimately resulted in the jade being divided into eight pieces," Xiao Xuan shook his head and said.

"So, to find the Tou She Ancient Emperor’s mansion, we must gather all eight pieces of the jade. Moreover, opening the mansion will also require all eight pieces," Xiao Yan said, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Let everything flow naturally. We are not some world-shaking heroes. All our cultivation efforts are simply to protect those we wish to protect," Xiao Xuan smiled as he looked at Xiao Yan’s serious expression.

"Senior Xiao Xuan is right. We cultivators seek strength only to protect the people we care about. If we worry too much, we may instead fall into the trap of inner demons," Mo Yu said with a smile.

"Yes, Ancestor and Cousin Mo Yu are right," Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

Xiao Xuan stepped forward, gently patting the shoulders of both Xiao Yan and Mo Yu, smiling, "I quite like you two young lads. It’s a pity you were born so many years too late."

Hearing this, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance and gave a sheepish laugh.

Xiao Xuan stood up, gazing into the misty space in the distance. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Alright, let’s end our talk here. Though I cannot personally assist you in dealing with the Hun Clan, I can still bestow upon you a fortuitous opportunity."

"In the Heavenly Tomb, no mediocre person is buried. The countless remnant souls here were all once powerful figures. Given your current strengths, I can no longer offer much help. However... in terms of soul cultivation, I can still assist you." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

With a smile, Xiao Xuan spread his arms as if pressing down on the entire Heavenly Tomb.

"This abnormal place was never meant to exist. Long ago, I already wished to erase it..."

"I will transform into the soul of the Heavenly Tomb to aid you both. Whether you can break through the Peak Heavenly Realm and advance to the Di Realm soul will depend on your own fortune!"
