Soul world, top of the mountain above the clouds.

It was still under the same tree, with a stone table and stone bench, but this time, the chessboard on the stone table had disappeared, and Emperor Hun Tian no longer sat on it to study his chess record. He was dressed in black, his clothes fluttering in the wind, with a wanton smile on his face, looking at the rising clouds in the distance. His deep eyes seemed to see through the long river of time and catch a glimpse of the future.

After a long while, he said calmly: "The Heavenly Tomb will soon be closed. When that boy comes out, we can start the affairs of the Spiritual Tribe."

"Are you sure you want him to take charge of this matter?" An indifferent voice sounded, and then the space beside Emperor Hun Tian was pierced by black flames. As the black flames rolled, a sinister man with black flames all over his body stepped out, looking at Emperor Hun Tian with some hesitation. He didn't understand why Emperor Hun Tian valued this kid.

"Guess, will he meet Xiao Xuan after entering the Heavenly Tomb?" Emperor Hun Tian asked softly with a smile on his face.

"After Xiao Xuan's death, he was buried in the Heavenly Tomb... With his strength during his lifetime, it is not difficult for him to condense a conscious energy body, and his strength should not be weak. It would be fine if that kid didn't see him. If he saw him, he might not be able to walk out alive!" Void Devouring Flame said coldly.

Xiao Xuan was a semi-emperor level existence during his lifetime. He was buried in the Heavenly Tomb when he was on the verge of death. After his resurrection, his strength should be at the level of a seven to eight-star Dou Sheng.

"That kid is not that stupid, and even if they really meet, Xiao Xuan will not necessarily lower his status to attack a young junior. At most, he will ask about the situation in the outside world. If he knew about the marriage between the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan, he might be able to guess something." Emperor Hun Tian said calmly.

He and Xiao Xuan are both rivals and friends, and they know each other very well. Emperor Hun Tian feels that Xiao Xuan will not kill Yao Yan. Instead, he will remind Yao Yan of some things to disgust him.

Now Xiao Xuan can only use this little trick.

"It seems that you are really optimistic about that boy!" Xuwu Tunyan said in a deep voice.

"If it were a thousand years ago, I wouldn't mind training him to be my successor. Unfortunately, there is only one Emperor Grade Young Pill!" Emperor Hun Tian sighed, and after a moment, he continued, "I hope that after breaking through to the Dou Emperor level, I can solve all the mysteries!"

He looked into the endless void. Perhaps all the secrets of the Douqi Continent would be answered in the Tushe Ancient Emperor's Cave.

“If he knows that everything is a lie, he may not listen to you obediently.” Void Tunyan glanced coldly at Emperor Hun Tian and said.

"He has no choice!" Emperor Hun Tian said calmly, his expression not changing in the slightest.

Yao Yan was too weak, so weak that he couldn't be taken seriously at all. Even if he was improving extremely fast, that was all. Even if he could break into a seven-star or even eight-star Douluo within a dozen years, so what... He was not on the same level as him at all, let alone a threat.

His opponent has always been only half, and that is Gu Yuan!
If Gu Yuan and the ancient tribe had not been restraining him, he would have overturned the table long ago. Why would he have planned for a thousand years? Even when he took action against the spirit tribe, he had to be cautious for fear that the news would leak out. However, Gu Yuan's character could only make him a half opponent, and he did not have the ability to compete with him!
"It's up to you. I'm only responsible for my own business." Void Tunyan said lightly, showing no interest in these things. After that, he turned around and disappeared from the spot, turning into a wisp of black flame and merging into the space.

Emperor Hun Tian continued to look at the world in the distance, silent.

……

……

Inside the Heavenly Tomb.

The Fire Array that enveloped the entire third layer had slowly dissipated. As the gorgeous sea of ​​fire and array patterns faded away, the energy of the entire third layer seemed to have become thinner. The energy bodies within it were completely refined, leaving only two figures standing in the void.

"Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the four-star Douluo!" Yao Yan chuckled as he looked at Gu Xun'er, whose strength had greatly improved.

In the past six months, he did not immerse himself in hard training, but focused part of his energy on fighting skills. As a result, the energy absorbed by Gu Xun'er increased a lot, and she successfully broke through the bottleneck of the four-star Fighting Saint. Otherwise, the strength of her practice this time could only increase to the peak of the three-star Fighting Saint at most.

But even so, the talent displayed by Gu Xun'er is truly exaggerated.

"What about you? How has your strength improved~" Gu Xun'er blinked her lively eyes and looked at Yao Yan curiously. She found that she still could not see through Yao Yan's cultivation. Even the other party's aura was becoming more and more like that of an ordinary person. She could not sense the aura and soul power of a strong man at all.

"The peak of the five-star Douluo, only one step away from the six-star Douluo~" Yao Yan explained softly.

"This step should not stop you. It seems that it won't be long before you can break through to the six-star Dou Sheng... How long will it take me to catch up with you!" Gu Xun'er said, and suddenly she felt a little discouraged. She had been trying her best to catch up, but still felt that the gap was widening, and it had reached the point where it was difficult to catch up.

"The purpose of your cultivation is not just to teach me a lesson, right?" Yao Yan joked when he heard this.

"I'm not a mean person. I've always remembered how you took advantage of your strength to bully me!" A smart look flashed across Gu Xun'er's elegant eyes, and she snorted softly. At this moment, her expression showed a bit more feminine charm, which was very attractive.

"Then remember it for the rest of your life." Yao Yan smiled and put his arms around her waist, looking into those clear and elegant eyes and said.

Gu Xun'er looked at Yao Yan with her beautiful eyes lovingly, as if she recalled the scenes of the past. Yao Yan at that time did not seem to be a good person... He was a big liar, but he did win her heart in the end.

"Om~"

The Heavenly Tomb suddenly shook, and even the space seemed to be trembling.

"It's time to go out!" Yao Yan glanced around and confirmed the remaining time. Then he looked towards the direction of the tomb. He seemed to see the uneasy Xiao Ning. The other party's strength had improved well and had reached the peak of the Nine-Turn Dou Zun.

He pondered for a moment, raised his hand, took out a jade bottle containing a ninth-grade elixir, and threw it to Xiao Ning.

This pill was casually refined by him in the past six months. As his soul realm entered the imperial realm, refining the ninth-grade elixir was no longer difficult for him. He also wanted to see if Xiao Ning could evolve the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art into another path.

Once he breaks into the realm of Fighting Saint, Xiao Ning should completely let go of the restraint on the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art and indulge in devouring and evolving his physique. With the body of a Fighting Saint, he can completely withstand the torture of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art. As for whether he will transform into a demon fetus or die by self-destruction... that depends on Xiao Ning's luck.

After doing all this, he retracted his gaze and felt the space of the Heavenly Tomb. Perhaps because he had refined the origin of the Heavenly Tomb, the Heavenly Tomb seemed to be under his control. With a slight movement of his mind, the space in front of him split open, and Yao Yan and Gu Xun'er stepped directly into it. ...

In the outside world, the elders of each clan are already waiting, with expectant looks in their eyes, hoping that the younger generation of their clan can make a breakthrough. Half a year in the outside world is equivalent to three full years in the Heavenly Tomb. Moreover, the energy of heaven and earth inside is several times that of the outside world, plus the crystal core of the energy body. Whether it is to temper oneself or improve strength, it is an extremely rare training place.

Every time the younger generation entered in the past years, as long as they could walk out alive, their strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds and become the future fighting saint seeds of each race!
"It's out!" said an elder of the ancient tribe who was in the lead.

As his words fell, the vibrating space suddenly twisted, and the next moment, two figures walked out of it together. As they stepped out, the chaotic spatial energy around them seemed to calm down.

Yao Yan, dressed in a silver-white robe, and Gu Xun'er, dressed in green, walked out slowly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Young lady's aura... is this a four-star Douluo?!" Someone who was paying attention instantly noticed the change in Gu Xun'er's strength. The aura of someone who had just broken through to the four-star Douluo was not stable and could be easily felt. Immediately, many elders of the ancient clan showed surprise on their faces.

Above the level of Douluo, it is extremely difficult to improve by one star. Some people may spend a hundred years and may not be able to improve by one star. However, Gu Xun'er has only been in the Heavenly Tomb for half a year, but his strength has jumped from the early stage of the two-star Douluo to the early stage of the four-star Douluo, an improvement of two stars. This level of strength is higher than that of some elders of the ancient clan.

Don’t forget Gu Xun’er’s age and bloodline talent!
Thinking of this, many of the ancient clan elders showed excitement on their faces, as if they had seen Gu Xun'er grow up.

"This kid's strength..." Many caring elders of the ancient clan focused their attention on Yao Yan. Compared to before entering the Heavenly Tomb, Yao Yan's strength now seems to be even more unfathomable. Even if he just stands there, he gives people a feeling of facing the abyss.

"Has your soul power broken through the Emperor Realm?" Along with a surprised voice, Gu Yuan's figure appeared in everyone's sight. He looked at Yao Yan in surprise. No one knew better than him the difficulty of breaking through the soul realm to the Emperor Realm. It took him countless years to reach this step, but Yao Yan was so young.

Could it be that this kid refined Xiao Xuan? !
Or maybe.

Are there other opportunities in the Heavenly Tomb? !

"Emperor Realm?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people showed shock on their faces. You know, a breakthrough in the soul realm is more difficult than practicing fighting spirit. Even for some people with extraordinary talents, it is difficult to make great progress in the soul realm without unique opportunities in this life, let alone the legendary emperor realm!

That is related to the word "Emperor"!
"Father-in-law, let's go somewhere else to chat~" Yao Yan said softly.

Gu Yuan looked at Yao Yan for a while, then nodded slowly, raised his hand to distort the space, and left with Yao Yan and Gu Xun'er. As for the rest of the younger generation, they obviously did not need the attention of him, the patriarch of the ancient clan, and could be left to the elders of each clan.

In an instant.

The three of them appeared on the top of a mountain with a beautiful environment. The place was shrouded in clouds and mist, as if they were in a fairyland.

Gu Yuan looked at Yao Yan curiously and asked, "How did you break through the Emperor Realm in terms of your soul power? I don't remember that the Heavenly Tomb has the effect of tempering the soul... Could it be that Xiao Xuan gave it to you?"

After saying this, he smiled a little, and it was obvious that the last sentence was meant as a joke.

"It is indeed an opportunity given to him by Xiao Xuan~" Gu Xun'er said to her father with a smile after hearing this. Since her father has seen through it, there is no need to hide anything. It is better to let her father know. After all, he is a man she values, and Emperor Hun Tian may not have good intentions towards Yao Yan.

"I made a deal with Senior Xiao Xuan..." Yao Yan told the story of the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, including the fact that he could now control the Heavenly Tomb. After all, he would take the Heavenly Tomb away later.

With Tianmu's unique ability, it is enough to save Yaoyan a lot of time in the future!
“I didn’t expect that there would be such a thing in the Heavenly Tomb!” Gu Yuan was surprised, and then looked at Yao Yan with some emotion, “What a lucky boy… If I had known about the existence of the Heavenly Tomb Soul before, it wouldn’t be your turn~”

It can help the soul origin of the Heavenly Realm to break through to the Emperor Realm. This level of cultivation resources is rare in the entire Douqi Continent. Even in ancient times, it is not necessarily seen.

Most of the powerful people whose souls break through to the Emperor Realm rely on their own strength to feed their souls over time. It is not as easy for them to enter the realm as Yao Yan.

“If the clan leaders of various tribes knew about this, they would probably envy you to death.” Gu Yuan chuckled.

"It's just a coincidence...I have to thank Senior Xiao Xuan for his efforts, otherwise I can't deal with the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb alone." Yao Yan shook his head slightly and said slowly. With his original strength, he could at most force the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb out, but it was impossible for him to extract its soul origin.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, and then asked about something he was more concerned about: "Has Emperor Yu of the Xiao clan ever found any clues?"

"Senior Xiao Xuan didn't do anything with the Xiao clan's imperial jade. According to him, when he let the Xiao clan's branch take the imperial jade away, his original intention was to tacitly allow the Gu clan to take it away... Who knew that father never did anything." Gu Xun'er looked at her father with a strange look in her eyes and said softly.

When Gu Yuan heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. Did he keep his promise, or was it his problem?
Shake his head slightly.

He whispered, "This is going to be troublesome... The Xiao clan has traveled all the way from Zhongzhou to the Northwest Continent, passing through too many places. Searching for the whereabouts of the Emperor Jade is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Now we can only try to find it."

"Do I need to tell Emperor Hun Tian about this?" Yao Yan asked, looking at his father-in-law.

“Don’t tell him for the time being, otherwise with the means used by the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace, it will inevitably cause unrest and constant disturbances in the Douluo Continent... I will send people to look for him. If I can’t find him, we’ll tell you then. Anyway, it’s still a long time before you break through to the Nine-Star Douluo, so it should be in time.” Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Everyone who knows knows the Soul Palace's methods. If they are allowed to take action, the Xiao clan will be the first to suffer.

"Okay." Yao Yan nodded in response.

“Senior Xiao Xuan also said one more thing. He said that Emperor Hun Tian once told him that there is an emperor-grade embryo pill in the cave of ancient emperor Tuoshe. And if one wants to break through to the Dou Emperor, one must obtain this emperor-grade embryo pill and the original emperor energy inside it!” Gu Xun’er’s face was solemn as she told the matter of the original emperor energy and the emperor-grade embryo pill.

Yao Yan did not stop him, as he also wanted to see what Gu Yuan thought. (End of this chapter)
