Chapter 24 Ascending the Heavenly Path, Returning to the World of Shrouding the Heavens

After the old man guarding the tomb and He Lang of the Divine Tomb reached a consensus, he visibly relaxed, knowing that He Lang of the Divine Tomb had no intention of killing him.

"Old man, let's go! Take me to the opportunity you mentioned."

After agreeing, He Lang immediately urged the old man guarding the tomb to take him to find an opportunity.

"Don't worry, those things don't have legs, they can't run away. Aren't you curious about the turmoil that has occurred in the Six Realms? Why were countless immortals and gods destroyed? Who is the mastermind behind it all? As an ally, I can answer your questions."

The old tomb keeper was speechless at He Lang's urgent urging; this was just too much of a rush!
Although he planned to trick He Lang of the Divine Tomb, He Lang's overly proactive attitude made him suspicious. So the old tomb guardian was no longer in a hurry and changed his mind, bringing up other things.

"I'm not particularly curious. As for why the Six Realms were destroyed, I don't care. If the Six Realms hadn't been destroyed, how could I have had the opportunity to rise against all odds, let alone have the chance to talk to you, senior?"

The old man guarding the tomb was taken aback by He Lang's answer. Thinking about how he had traced He Lang's growth trajectory all the way, several black lines appeared on his forehead.

For a moment, he forgot that this guy had actually grown up by devouring the essence of countless immortals and gods during this great cataclysm of the Heavenly Dao.

To be honest, he should thank Heaven!

The old man guarding the tomb was quite certain that He Lang of the Divine Tomb was not very old, and that his soul did not possess the indelible marks that could only be left after countless eras. He was not a hero who had defied the heavens and returned.

He had originally planned to use this information to pique He Lang's interest in the Heaven-Slaying Cult, but he didn't expect the guy to be so blunt.

"You're not interested in these things, but the mastermind behind the great destruction of the Six Realms is definitely interested in you. Do you know where the origin of heaven in your eyes comes from?"
That was planted by the God of our world in order to reap the spiritual power of all living beings.

You have stolen the essence of Heaven and have become its enemy.

Seeing the old man guarding the tomb acting profound, He Lang of the Divine Tomb had a sudden thought and guessed some of the old man's ideas. He wanted to lead him down the path of fighting for heaven.

Even Heaven is your enemy, so why don't you hurry up and attack?

"Are you saying that those dead gods and countless living beings were killed by God? Isn't 'Heaven' an ethereal and intangible existence? Could it have developed consciousness?"

He Lang, pretending to be ignorant, feigned shock and cooperated with the old tomb keeper, intending to see what he was up to.

"That's right. I don't know when it started, but 'Heaven' has developed consciousness. It is no longer the selfless and altruistic Heavenly Dao. Whenever the power of all living beings reaches its peak, the Heavenly Dao that has developed consciousness will destroy the world and destroy all life in the world."

In ancient times, a powerful being who defied the heavens discovered the truth and began to fight against the heavens, seeking to destroy the Heavenly Dao. The great opportunity I told you about is right here.

Those who could participate in the battle against the Heavenly Dao were all forbidden powerhouses. After their defeat, their origins, along with the origins of Heaven, were buried in a lost land. Just imagine the immense fortune that was.

The old tomb keeper gazed at the sky above the dark continent, piercing through the barrier of chaos. In his eyes, nine vast continents emerged, and an ancient road forged from endless white bones traversed those nine vast continents, leading to a mysterious region.

"Is that so? Then I'd like to see just how strong this so-called 'Heaven' really is. Although I know you have ulterior motives, I don't care. Fighting the legendary 'Heaven' will surely earn me my unparalleled fame."

At this moment, He Lang of the Divine Tomb was incredibly domineering, his aura soaring to the sky, stirring up the chaos, and the chaotic immortal light pierced through eternity, causing the dark continent to tremble.

"What a bold move! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. These are the coordinates for the Lost Lands. Take them yourself."

When the old tomb keeper saw how powerful He Lang of the Divine Tomb was, his eyes gleamed, and he sketched out a coordinate in his mind—a certain void in the Dark Continent.

He Lang scanned the map and discovered that the coordinates were near the void where the old tomb guardian had fallen into the mortal realm.

"Don't rush in yet! A great opportunity is about to appear on the Dark Continent. The spiritual power of all living beings has merged into the Dark Continent, and now, after a long period of gestation, it has reached the extreme point of life and death transformation. That is the life source formed by the spiritual power of all living beings. Let's collect some first." The life source is formed from endless life force, and can almost be described as having infinite vitality.

"Is this why you fell from that lost ancient land to the human world? You're also after the Fountain of Life?"

He Lang could sense the resentment in the old man's tone, and seemed to understand why the old man had fallen to the Dark Continent.

"My cultivation is not high enough, so I naturally need to come back to replenish my spiritual energy."

The old tomb keeper chuckled a few times, then guided He Lang of the Divine Tomb on his journey across the Dark Continent. There, he found three life springs that were about to be born, which He Lang then collected into his inner world.

He Lang wasn't surprised that the old man guarding the tomb could discover it in advance. The old man's true form was the Heavenly Treasure Life and Death Disc of the Tomb of Gods world, which controlled the Way of Life and the Way of Death. Naturally, he was extremely proficient in life and death.

However, He Lang also discovered that the old man guarding the tomb was not just looking for the source of life, but also using him to explore something. Under the guidance of the old man guarding the tomb, he discovered an ancient cave on a piece of land in the east of the Dark Continent, in which countless immortals and gods' remains were buried.

I have also explored several god and demon cemeteries that have mysteriously appeared on the Dark Continent.

He knew that these two forbidden lands were the work of the Demon Lord and Lonely Defeat Heaven. Clearly, these two forbidden powerhouses had returned against all odds. He did not explore them in depth, but only took a portion of the Heavenly Origin from the Demon Lord's burial ground.

"Let's go, we've seen what we needed to see, let's go see the lost land you mentioned."

He Lang arrived at the coordinates given to him by the old tomb keeper, and with a punch, he pierced through the chaos with unparalleled divine power, tearing open a chaotic passage.

At the other end of the passage, endless blood light appeared, and a vast world emerged at the end of the chaotic passage. The commotion here seemed to have alerted the other side, and more than a dozen tall figures appeared at the end of the chaotic passage, all of them at the Heavenly Rank, and unleashed their unparalleled divine powers in this direction.

At the same time, these tall figures stepped into the chaotic passage, trying to break through.

"It's a celestial beast, be careful so it doesn't hurt this old man."

The old tomb keeper followed He Lang of the Divine Tomb. He was extremely surprised to see He Lang punch through the barrier of the Heavenly Road. Then, seeing more than a dozen figures rapidly approaching in the Chaos Passage, he quickly walked behind He Lang and said.

He Lang from the Divine Tomb smiled, grabbed the old tomb guardian, and pushed him forward, then quickly walked into the chaotic passage.

"Oh!"

More than a dozen powerful divine abilities clashed intimately with the old man guarding the tomb, and were directly obliterated in the chaotic passage. Fragments of the laws pierced through the chaotic passage and flew into the chaos.

"You brat, I'm not your weapon!"

The old man guarding the tomb was so angry at He Lang's actions that he glared and cursed He Lang's ancestors for eighteen generations.

He Lang of the Divine Tomb remained silent, merely manipulating his physical body to blast over a dozen Heavenly Rank Beasts into the Chaos Passage. The essence of these beasts flowed into his body, making his aura grow ever stronger.

"May 'me' soon transcend the Heavenly Dao, and I should return to the world of Shrouding the Heavens."

After He Lang from the Divine Tomb entered the Ancient Heavenly Road, the He Lang within him no longer lingered, ending this divine journey and returning to the world of Shrouding the Heavens.
