Martial Universe: Inherit the Future, Quickly Become a Martial Ancestor!

Several days later, outside the main gate of the Huangpu family.

As dawn broke, a pale golden glow bathed the ancient mansion. Lan He and Ling Qingzhu were ready, and Huangpu Jing personally came to see them off.

Lan He was dressed in a dark blue outfit, with the Azure Scale Sword hanging at his waist. His aura was calm and restrained, and what was revealed was still the fluctuation of the Lesser Completion of the Creation Realm.

Ling Qingzhu was still dressed in a plain dress, her face covered with a light veil, as aloof as the moon. However, the aura flowing around her had reached the peak of the Creation Realm, only one step away from the Nirvana Realm.

"Qingzhu, Young Master Lanhe, please be careful on your journey."

Huangpu stood quietly to the side, his silver hair fluttering slightly in the morning breeze. Although his tone still carried its usual coolness, his concern was evident. He slowly said, "The ancient tomb is located in Tiandu County, which is still thousands of miles away from here. The tomb of the Nirvana Realm is very attractive, and people from all sides gather here. It is inevitable that there will be a mix of all sorts of people. Be careful along the way."

"Don't worry." Ling Qingzhu nodded slightly.

Lan He also cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Miss Huangpu."

After bidding farewell to Huangpu Jing, the two did not linger. With a swift movement, they left the Huangpu family's territory and arrived at an open area.

With a slight thought, Lan He's Azure Scale Sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, then with a "clang," it was drawn from its sheath and hovered in front of him. The dark blue blade gleamed with a restrained, eerie light in the morning sun, and the subtle spiritual energy unique to Earth-rank spiritual treasures radiated outwards.

In fact, after one's cultivation enters the Qi Creation Realm, the Yuan Power within the body undergoes a qualitative change. The Yuan Power contains a trace of "real" attribute, which is enough to support the cultivator in controlling the Yuan Power and performing short-term Qi-based flight.

However, with a level-elemental spiritual treasure in hand, one would naturally choose the less strenuous and faster method.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure landed steadily on the hovering Azure Scale Sword. With his mind connected to the spiritual treasure, the Azure Scale Sword emitted a joyful hum, and a faint blue vortex rose around its blade, carrying him slowly into the air.

On the other side, Ling Qingzhu gently raised her jade hand, and a warm, emerald light swept out from her sleeve, swelled in the wind, and transformed into a lotus platform about ten feet in size.

The lotus platform is carved from jade, with layers of petals that are lifelike and exude a soft and pure energy fluctuation. It is also a tertiary spiritual treasure - the Azure Lotus.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her delicate body gracefully landed in the center of the Azure Lotus Platform. The lotus platform shimmered with light, supporting her as she steadily rose, hovering in mid-air alongside Lan He, who was riding his sword.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

The next instant, the cyan sword light and the azure lotus flower simultaneously soared into the sky, transforming into two streams of light that sped toward the Tiandu County of the Great Yan Dynasty.

……

After a few days,

Tiandu County, Tianyan Mountain Range.

The Tianyan Mountains are vast, covering almost half of the territory of Tiandu County, making them the number one mountain range in the county.

This place is densely forested with countless secluded valleys and treacherous peaks, where countless ferocious beasts lurk.

Legend has it that even a powerful expert at the third level of the Creation Realm could not escape unscathed if they ventured too far into the core area. Therefore, apart from a few dangerous beast-hunting teams, few dared to venture into this place.

However, this perilous situation was completely shattered after news of the ancient tomb's emergence spread.

In a low-level dynasty like the Great Yan, the allure of a tomb left by a Nirvana Realm expert is enough to make the greed in countless people overwhelm their fear of danger.

In just half a month, the Tianyan Mountain Range, which was originally deserted and teeming with monsters, has become bustling with activity and has become an "adventure paradise". Groups of three or five people can often be seen moving around in the mountains and forests, exploring everywhere.

Ling Qingzhu and Lan He, riding their magical treasures, did not linger on the outer edge of the mountain range. They flew low over the sky and headed straight for the area deep within the mountain range where the energy fluctuations were most abnormal.

Along the way, they naturally encountered many cultivators who were traversing the ground or low in the air, trying to find the exact location of the tomb or to scavenge some peripheral opportunities.

Most of these people were at the Yuan Dan Realm or the Lesser Completion of the Creation Realm. When they saw the two people's lotus platforms and flying swords, which were obviously of extraordinary quality, they wisely kept their distance and did not dare to approach them. Their eyes were clearly filled with awe and fear.

In such a chaotic place, keen eyesight is the first key to survival. At this time, someone who possesses such a flying magical artifact and travels with such composure is no ordinary person, and no one would be foolish enough to provoke them.

The journey was uneventful.

……

At this moment, deep within the Tianyan Mountains.

Behind a natural forest barrier, a majestic peak suddenly comes into view. The summit is flat and covered with lush vegetation, but the outlines of ancient, massive stone structures are faintly visible, giving it an air of antiquity and mystery.

At the foot of the mountain, a sizable temporary campsite has already taken shape. Numerous tents are lined up one after another, clearly formed spontaneously by different teams.

The Tianyan Mountains are fraught with danger, with powerful demonic beasts frequently appearing. Even experts at the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm dare not camp alone. Therefore, setting up camp together and helping each other has become the wisest choice.

At this time, the Lin clan's forces had also settled down in a corner of the camp.

Among the crowd, a young man dressed in simple black clothes was sitting cross-legged alone, meditating. His face was not particularly handsome, but it possessed the unique determination of a mountain boy, with distinct features.

Perhaps due to years of rigorous training, his skin had a healthy, dark hue.

"Cousin Lin Dong, I've seen you barely stop along the way, constantly seizing every moment to cultivate. You're really working hard." A clear female voice rang out from the side.

Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes and looked at the distance beside him. A girl dressed in white was looking at him. The girl had a beautiful and charming appearance, fair skin, and most striking feature was her eyes, which had double pupils.

Her double pupils had a faint blue shimmering light at the edges, giving her an eerie appearance and adding a touch of mystery to her beautiful face. She was none other than Lin Ke'er, one of the geniuses from the Lin clan who had come this time.

"Cousin Ke'er."

Lin Dong nodded slightly and said calmly, "If your strength is insufficient, you must work twice as hard. This ancient tomb contains both opportunities and dangers. The more strength you have, the more certain you are of success."

Lin Ke'er's bewitching eyes scrutinized Lin Dong for a moment, sensing the heavy determination and subtle pressure in his words.

She sighed softly and said, "Your composure is truly rare. However, you must also be careful to maintain a balance and not be too tense. With Brother Langtian and Elder Tao leading the team, everything will be fine on this trip to the ancient tomb."

The "Tao Lao" she mentioned was the gray-robed elder standing beside her, whose aura was calm and whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm. He was the specific leader of this exploration.

Although Lin Langtian led the operation, the experienced elder was responsible for coordinating most of the daily affairs.

Upon hearing the name "Lin Langtian," a sharp, icy glint flashed in Lin Dong's eyes, but he did not reveal any further emotion on his face.

He intended to continue meditating with his eyes closed, but suddenly his expression hardened, and his bright black eyes flashed with a sharp light. He abruptly raised his head and looked towards the northern horizon.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ke'er noticed his unusual behavior.

"A very strong fluctuation of elemental energy is rapidly approaching..."

Lin Dong's voice involuntarily lowered, perhaps guessing who it was. His hands clenched into fists involuntarily, revealing his inner turmoil.

The next instant, as if confirming his feeling, a sharp sound of wind breaking rang out from the northern horizon!

A crimson light, like a shooting star tearing through the sky, streaked across the heavens with astonishing force, hurtling towards them.

Wherever the light passed, the primordial energy of heaven and earth was drawn and roared, creating a magnificent and astonishing spectacle.

"It's Brother Lin Langtian!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Ke'er and the other members of the Lin family immediately showed surprise and delight, their eyes filled with anticipation and respect.

Only Lin Dong, upon hearing this name, turned ashen-faced, his jaw clenched, his knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force, staring intently at the rapidly approaching red light.

"Tsk tsk, what a grand display. You can smell the ostentatious attitude from far away."

A soft voice, tinged with mockery and a hint of disdain, rang directly in Lin Dong's mind. It was the little sable hidden inside his ancestral stone.

The crimson light was so powerful that it instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the camp.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the red light rapidly approached, and only then did everyone realize that it was a magnificent, crimson-red giant eagle of Yuan Power!

The giant eagle flapped its wings, and the sound of wind and thunder could be faintly heard. In just a few breaths, it had already flown over the camp.

As the giant eagle slowed down and hovered in the sky, everyone's eyes immediately focused on its back.

There, a man in a blue robe stood with his hands behind his back, his long hair fluttering in the wind. He exuded a free and unrestrained air, and his calm gaze casually swept over the noisy camp below before turning away, as if there was nothing below that was worth his attention.

It was none other than Lin Langtian, the foremost figure among the younger generation of the Lin clan!
