Chapter 245 Huge Gains!

"The Heavenly Tomb?"

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

To be honest, this little guy was a figure from a thousand years ago, and could be considered a contemporary of him.

However, when the other party received the inheritance in the Sword Emperor's Ruins, time was frozen for a thousand years. In terms of bone age, he did indeed meet the conditions for entering the Heavenly Tomb, a point he could not refute.

"Alright, I can let you into the Heavenly Tomb."

Gu Yuan nodded in agreement. According to the Eight Clans Alliance, the Heavenly Tomb would open, and each clan would have two slots to enter the Heavenly Tomb, including the Xiao clan.

He roughly guessed that Xiao Jibai wanted to enter the Heavenly Tomb to see Xiao Xuan, so he reluctantly agreed...

However, the real reason he agreed was that he didn't want to further provoke the little thing.

As a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, he has many years to live. There's no need for him to risk his life against a madman who holds the Sword Emperor's Jade Slip for a spot in the Heavenly Tomb.

Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Xun'er and the others and said, "Xun'er, Qingyang, you two should also get ready to enter the Heavenly Tomb together."

"No."

Just as Xiao Xun'er and Gu Qingyang were about to respond, Su Yun's icy voice suddenly rang out, directly interrupting Gu Yuan's arrangements: "This time, no other imperial clans are allowed to enter the Heavenly Tomb."

"Why?"

A flash of anger crossed Gu Yuan's eyes as he shouted, "I have already agreed to let you enter the Heavenly Tomb and made such a concession. Don't push your luck! The quota for the Heavenly Tomb is determined by the Eight Clans Alliance. How can you change it at will?"

Su Yun remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the clan leaders on the high platform. He said indifferently, "According to the alliance, each time the Heavenly Tomb opens, each of the eight clans will have two slots for the younger generation."

However, for the past thousand years, the quota for my Xiao clan has been taken by your ancient clan.

"so what?"

Gu Yuan coldly said, "The Xiao Clan has been defeated, and no one has the ability to enter the Heavenly Tomb. Are you going to leave this spot vacant? It is only right that our Gu Clan safeguards the spot for you!"

The Heavenly Tomb, located in the Ancient Realm, should have been exclusively owned by their ancient clans. Allowing other imperial clans to enter and share the opportunities is already an act of great mercy!

"Gu Yuan, there's no need to say anything!"

Just as Gu Yuan was about to argue, Lei Ying waved his hand from the high platform and said coldly, "The Lei Clan agrees to withdraw from this trip to the Heavenly Tomb!"

Even if Xiao Jibai didn't bring it up, he wouldn't want the children from the clan to go in with Xiao Jibai.

Given the little thing's hatred for them, he was genuinely worried that Lei Dong and the others would never return.

Rather than doing that, it's better to voluntarily abstain.

Beside him, Yan Jin coldly remarked, "The Yan Clan is the same."

His thoughts were exactly the same as Lei Ying's; Huo Xuan represented the future of the Yan Clan and could not be allowed to perish in the Heavenly Tomb.

The leaders of the other three clans also realized what was happening and echoed each other's sentiments.

Meanwhile, on the high platforms of various clans, the younger generation of the imperial clans, including Lei Dong and Huo Xuan, all showed signs of lingering fear.

Fortunately, the clan chief was wise; they didn't want to go in and face that god of death.

Even the Dou Sheng Elder couldn't stop them, let alone the others!
Only on the high platform of the Medicine Clan, the Medicine Spirit gazed at the trembling eighth-grade prodigy of the Medicine Clan before him, a deep regret flashing in his eyes.

As Gu Yuan watched the various tribes back down, his expression grew increasingly grim, yet he was utterly helpless.

"In that case, my ancient clan will not participate in this trip to the Heavenly Tomb. You can go in and have fun by yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted a pardon.

Xiao Xun'er's gaze, however, passed over the crowd and fell upon Xiao Yan, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Yun. She bit her lower lip, her face filled with complex emotions.

In the center of the white jade square, Su Yun turned to look at Xiao Yan and said, "Come in with me."

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Su Yun turned to look at the Pill Tower Ancestor and said, "Senior, thank you for bringing people to help us this time."

However, I have one more request.

"It's for the Xiao clan, isn't it?"

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower looked at Su Yun, a knowing glint in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, go ahead. I will take good care of your people while you are in the Heavenly Tomb."

I can't guarantee what will happen elsewhere, but in the Pill Domain, no one dares to bully them.

"Once you're out, you can come and take them away." "Thank you for your righteous help, senior. The Xiao clan will remember this kindness."

Su Yun clasped his hands in thanks, then looked at Gu Yuan, his expression turning cold, and said, "Then please, Clan Chief Gu Yuan, open the gate to the Heavenly Tomb for us."

"Humph!"

Gu Yuan's expression was cold as he looked at Gu Dao and said, "Gu Dao, go open the door for them!"

"……Yes."

Gu Dao cursed under his breath, thinking how unlucky he was.

On the other side, Xiao Yan ran to Xiao Zhan and Yao Lao's side, a look of reluctance flashing across his face, and said, "Father, Teacher, I'm going to the Heavenly Tomb with the Ancestor, and I'll be back soon."

The old doctor stroked his beard and laughed, "Fast? The Heavenly Tomb has the effect of accelerating the flow of time. What takes half a year outside is three years inside the Heavenly Tomb."

It doesn't bother us, but for you, it's like a three-year promise—a very long time.

Xiao Yan scratched his head.

The old medicine master said, "Go. When I was still in the Medicine Clan, I heard about the wonders of the Heavenly Tomb. There are great opportunities inside, which will benefit you."

"is teacher!"

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, then turned his gaze to Xiao Zhan and said, "Father, please take care, and wait for me to return!"

Xiao Zhan comforted him, "Go, train well with the ancestor, and don't waste this opportunity."

Then, Su Yun and Xiao Yan followed behind the gloomy-faced Gu Dao and headed deeper into the ancient realm.

Upon seeing Su Yun, the members of the ancient clans along the way all lowered their heads and gave way, not daring to meet his gaze.

Before long, the three arrived at a valley shrouded in mist. Unlike the brightness outside, this valley was enveloped in thick white mist, which faintly exuded an ancient aura.

As you push aside the layers of clouds and look inward, the scenery deep in the valley gradually comes into view.

It was not the land and rocks of an ordinary valley, but a distorted spatial outline, with faint ripples appearing and disappearing, as if an invisible barrier separated the inside from the outside, exuding an indescribable sense of strangeness.

"This is it."

Gu Dao stopped in his tracks, his face cold the whole time. His holy power surged, and pale golden light gushed out from his body like a tide, condensing into a complex rune in his palm.

As the runes lit up, Gu Dao quickly formed hand seals, and the holy power transformed into a band of light that coiled forward like a living snake, crashing fiercely into the spatial barrier deep in the valley.

"Om-"

A deep hum resounded, and the spatial barrier rippled, slowly revealing a circular spatial portal.

Inside the portal was a swirling, dark purple vortex, with fragments of broken space faintly visible flowing within.

After doing all this, Gu Dao coldly said, "Go in. You can test this spatial gate yourselves. Don't accuse me of tampering with it again."

Xiao Yan stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the spatial portal, sensing the pure spatial energy within. He then sneered, "You old bastard, I doubt you have the guts."

Gu Dao choked and his face turned red instantly.

"Ancestor, let's go."

"Ah."

Su Yun nodded slightly, his gaze lingering briefly on the spatial portal. After confirming there were no abnormal fluctuations, the two stepped inside.

Inside the spatial passage, a trace of weariness flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he said, "This trip to the Ancient Realm has been more difficult than any of my previous experiences..."

Then a flicker of excitement crossed his eyes: "Fortunately, we've made great progress; at least Father and the others have been rescued!"

"Yes, although this time the risk was extremely high, the rewards were truly immense..."

Su Yun hung the jade slip back on his waist, a smile appearing on his lips, and quietly opened the system panel.
