Chapter 566 Xiao Yan Enters the Heavenly Tomb Again

After a long while, it was Gu Yuan who finally broke the silence.

"Everyone understands the current situation. The Soul Clan is powerful, and none of our clans can contend with them on their own."

"Now, only by joining forces can we possibly fight the Soul Clan."

"Yes, that's true. All seven pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade are now in the hands of the Soul Emperor."

If he were to obtain the last piece of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and find the legendary Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave, he might actually be able to break through to the Dou Di realm.

At that time, we, these once ancient families, will likely truly become blood slaves of the Soul Clan.

"Alas, that Emperor should be able to stop all of this, but..."

This is the awkward thing about these ancient families. They don't want the Soul Emperor to become a Dou Di, and naturally they don't want to become an appendage of another Dou Di.

Their inherent pride makes them unwilling to bow their heads.

Gu Yuan understood this, so he skipped the topic and looked at Xiao Yan instead.

Gu Yuan's meaning was clear: he wanted Xiao Yan to entrust him with the last piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, so that it would be difficult for Hun Tiandi to obtain it.

But if Xiao Yan did that, it would be tantamount to abandoning Xiao Zhan and letting him die.

"Xiao Yan, the last piece of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is in your hands, isn't it? You..."

Gu Yuan was interrupted by Xiao Yan before he could finish speaking. This time, Xiao Yan was not so polite.

"I have to save my father!"

This statement effectively shut down Gu Yuan's previous words. He couldn't very well tell Xiao Yan to give up on saving Xiao Zhan.

If he said something like that, even with Gu Xun'er as a connection, Xiao Yan would still turn against him.

Helpless, Gu Yuan could only sigh, and inside the Heavenly Tomb, Lan Hong also let Xiao Xuan witness this scene.

"Gu Yuan, if you ever come to the Heavenly Tomb, I'll skin you alive! Are you even human?!"

"Calm down. No matter what, he is Xiao Yan's future father-in-law. If you are unhappy, you can ask Gu Yuan to call you 'Ancestor'."

Hearing Lan Hong say that, Xiao Xuan laughed. He really wanted to let her try it if he had the chance.

"Alas, it's a pity that I'll probably never have that chance again," Xiao Xuan said, taking another swig of wine.

"That's not necessarily true. It depends on how far Xiao Yan can go in the future. There are still many worlds beyond the Dou Qi Continent."

"The vast world? To me now, that's too vague and unreal."

On the other side, Xiao Yan asked Gu Yuan, "Uncle, do you have a way to revive our ancestor Xiao Xuan? If our ancestor Xiao Xuan is revived, we will be completely fearless against the Soul Clan."

"Resurrect Xiao Xuan? I can't do that. The current Xiao Xuan can only be considered a remnant soul, or even less."

"Can I go back into the Heavenly Tomb?"

"You must enter the Heavenly Tomb to see Xiao Xuan."

Gu Yuan considered it for a moment and then nodded.

“Yes, although the Heavenly Tomb only opens once every 20 years, I can forcibly tear open the space of the Heavenly Tomb to let you in, but you can only stay inside for a maximum of one year.”

"I understand, thank you, Uncle."

"Do you need Xun'er to come in with you?"

"No need, I won't stay inside for long."

"Okay, then come with me."

Gu Yuan led Xiao Yan to the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb, and Gu Xun'er followed along.

Gu Yuan unleashed his power and forcibly tore open the entrance to the Heavenly Tomb.

"Alright, you can go in now. Remember my words, don't stay for more than a year."

"Brother Xiao Yan, take care."

"Okay, Xun'er, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, Xiao Yan leaped into the Heavenly Tomb. Watching Xiao Yan enter the Heavenly Tomb, Gu Yuan sighed again.

"Sigh, I hope you can get help from Xiao Xuan."

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, Lan Hong and Xiao Xuan also saw Xiao Yan enter the Heavenly Tomb.

"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yan has come to you, his ancestor, for help. What assistance can you offer him now?"

Xiao Xuan shook his head.

"The help I can give that kid right now is limited. At most, I can use the special characteristics of this Heavenly Tomb to help him break through to the Emperor Realm soul."

"This is already very good. There are some secrets that Xiao Yan should know, after all, the story is nearing its end."

After Xiao Yan reached the third level of the Heavenly Tomb, he encountered the Blood Saber Saint.

"Blood Blade Saint, we meet again."

“You’re a boy from the Xiao clan, but I can no longer see through your strength at all.”

"It was just a fluke."

"You're here to see Xiao Xuan, right? Shall I show you the way?"

"Well, thank you."

Guided by the Blood Saber Saint, Xiao Yan quickly arrived at Xiao Xuan's tomb, where Xiao Xuan and Lan Hong were already waiting for him.

"Ancestor Xiao Xuan! Senior, you're here too?"

"Is it strange that I'm here? You don't need to say anything more. Xiao Xuan and I have already seen what happened before."

"Since you've already seen it, why didn't you stop the Soul Clan?"

"Are you questioning me?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that at all, I just don't understand."

"It's very simple. The three clan leaders, Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, and Yan Jin, all rejected me."

"reject?"

"Xiao Yan, you can't be that stupid, can you? You can't even figure this out?"

If you want my protection, you'll naturally have to pay a price.

However, they were unwilling to pay the price; after all, their ancient family possessed its own pride.

At this point, Xiao Yan realized that Lan Hong had little to do with the eight ancient clans, and he had no obligation to help her.

"Ahem, Xiao Yan, you don't need to think so much. You've come at the right time, and there are some things you should know."

"Ancestor Xiao Xuan, are you referring to the ancient jade of Tuoshe?"

“That’s right. When the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was in my hands, I tried to decipher the information inside, but the deciphering was incomplete, so the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was split into eight pieces.”

Xiao Yan didn't interrupt, quietly waiting for Xiao Xuan to continue.

"From ancient times to the present, there are actually quite a few people like me who are stuck at the half-step Dou Di stage."

The reason we can't break through to the true Dou Di stage is because we lack something, or more accurately, a special kind of energy.

I previously called this special energy "Primal Emperor Qi," but now I know it's called "Source Qi," which is quite similar to the name I gave it.

"Ancestor Xiao Xuan, are you saying that there is no Yuan Qi on the Dou Qi Continent at all, so no one can break through to Dou Di? How did you manage to do that, senior?"

"Have you forgotten the saying that quantitative change leads to qualitative change? If you don't have source energy, then find a way to create it. In the end, source energy is just a more advanced form of energy."

I told you long ago not to let the rules of this world limit your thinking. It seems you didn't fully heed my advice.

Xiao Yan felt somewhat ashamed. Having spent so long in the Dou Qi Continent, he had essentially been assimilated by it.
