Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Above the boundless blue sky, clouds drift by, and occasionally a gentle breeze blows, creating a green wave that stretches to the horizon across the grassland below.

"laugh!"

Suddenly, a violent fluctuation emanated from the sky, and then a huge, pitch-black spatial gate appeared out of thin air. Shortly after the appearance of this spatial gate, two figures slowly emerged and finally stood in this world.

Long Yan has returned to Xiao Jue's body, with Gu Lie accompanying him.

"The clan chief said he's waiting for you at the Heavenly Tomb."

Gu Lie smiled slightly and said, "Someone has come to greet you."

Xiao Jue was taken aback. There, a graceful figure in cyan was faintly visible. Even though they were far apart, Xiao Jue still felt a deep-seated familiarity and longing.

In a distant place, their eyes met, seemingly frozen in time. Gu Lie chuckled, gazing at the noble figure atop the mountain peak, as if she were a goddess. That girl had good taste, just like her mother.

Back then, Xun'er's mother took a liking to Gu Yuan, and her daughter also set her sights on the most outstanding young man in the Dou Qi Continent.

The girl wore a light blue dress, her long black hair was casually tied up, flowing over her slender waist and ending at her delicate hips. A gentle breeze blew by, making her hair flutter, giving her an ethereal and otherworldly appearance.

Her beautiful face eclipsed even the heavens and earth; her captivating eyes, ethereal and like the deepest starry sky, held a gaze that was impossible to look away from. One glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation.

Such stunning beauty, truly a beauty that could topple kingdoms and cities. Faced with a girl born of the essence of heaven and earth, even the most perfect man would seem to feel ashamed in her presence. Where in the world can one find such a person?

Looking at that face so familiar it was almost etched into his soul, a gentle smile slowly appeared on Xiao Jue's face.

"Brother Xiao Jue."

The woman in green smiled and flashed to his side, her soft voice ringing in Xiao Jue's ear.

"Let's go."

Xiao Jue held Xun'er's hand without saying much. Unlike Xiao Yan, he had a stronger power behind him than the ancient clan. Unless Xun'er rejected him, no one could stop him from being with Xun'er.

Xun'er smiled slightly, her soft, slender waist swaying gently. With a blush on her cheeks, she leaned lightly against Xiao Jue's shoulder, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, greedily breathing in the warm breath that made her feel at ease.

Looking at the jade-like woman in his arms, Xiao Jue felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist, which seemed to have no bones, and buried his head in her soft, black hair, inhaling her faint fragrance. It was as if all the fatigue of the past few days had quietly disappeared.

Fortunately, the Soul Emperor is finally dead, and Long Yan has broken through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, possessing an Emperor-level soul. With Long Xiao, who is stronger than Long Yan, still around, no one on the Dou Qi Continent can hurt him anymore.

Then, Xun'er waved her hand, and the snow-white unicorn flew out of the forest. The two of them quickly took off, and finally, at Xun'er's soft whistle, the unicorn flapped its wings and flew towards the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range.

"The location where the Heavenly Tomb opens is deep within the Ancient Sacred Mountains. That area is generally considered a forbidden zone for the ancient clans, and people are not allowed to enter under normal circumstances. It is only open when the Heavenly Tomb opens."

On the unicorn, a gentle breeze ruffled Xun'er's long, flowing black hair that reached her slender waist, and she smiled as she explained things to Xiao Jue.

"The Heavenly Tomb is also dangerous, as it is the burial place of countless ancient powerhouses. Although their souls have long since vanished, due to the wonders of the Heavenly Tomb, their energy from their previous lives has been transformed into their former forms."

"These energy beings possess extremely strong offensive capabilities, and they also know the fighting techniques they used in life, making them quite difficult to deal with..."

Speaking of the Heavenly Tomb, Xun'er's face became slightly solemn as she said, "So if you encounter an energy body that is too powerful, try to avoid it. It is said that some powerful beings who were extremely strong in life, even their energy bodies, possess some intelligence of their own, and they can even be considered a kind of strange creature."

"However, with Brother Xiao Jue's current strength, there's no need to worry too much."

"The Heavenly Tomb is divided into three layers. The energy bodies in the first layer are mostly Dou Zun below three stars, in a state of unconscious wandering, which is not too difficult to deal with. The energy bodies in the second layer are Dou Zun above three stars but below eight stars, which are quite troublesome."

"As for the third level, it is the true peak of Dou Zun, and there are even super strong people who reached the Dou Sheng level in their lifetime. Generally speaking, unless you are absolutely sure, very few people will venture into the third level, as it is too dangerous," Xun'er said slowly.

"It is said that Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of Brother Xiao Jue, was in the innermost part of the third level. However, even among our ancient clans, very few people dare to enter that area."

As the two talked, the unicorn gradually ventured deeper into the mountains. Along the way, it encountered some ancient tribesmen. Upon seeing Xun'er, the tribesmen bowed respectfully from a distance and then quickly departed.

The flight lasted for about ten minutes before the unicorn finally stopped in a rugged mountain range, where only Gu Yuan was waiting for them.

He glanced at Xiao Jue with a complicated expression, then sighed softly, "Xiao Jue, Xun'er is in your care from now on. However, she possesses the most perfect divine bloodline of the ancient clan, and her virginity can only be broken after she has reached the level of a Dou Sheng."

"Don't worry, senior." Xiao Jue cupped his hands and said, "Xiao Jue knows what's important."

"Xiao Jue, if we consider that the Heavenly Tomb opens once every twenty years, there is still quite a while before it opens naturally."

Gu Yuan put his hands behind his back, shifted his gaze from that space, and said, "However, I will forcibly tear open a crack in the Heavenly Tomb to let you in. But remember, do not stay in the Heavenly Tomb for more than a year, otherwise it will cause the Heavenly Tomb to reject you."

"Thank you for your help, Uncle."

Xiao Jue nodded. One day in the Heavenly Tomb is equivalent to five days in the outside world, and one year in the Heavenly Tomb is equivalent to more than two months in the outside world.

Gu Yuan said no more. With a wave of his hand, the energy between heaven and earth surged and roared, and the sound of rushing waves could be faintly heard.

Immediately afterwards, the void space suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and a pitch-black crack was slowly and forcibly torn open. From within that crack, an unusually ancient and primal aura emanated.
