Chapter 500: The Heaven Tomb

"Xun'er, something seems off with Hun Ya from the Hun Clan," Xiao Ze communicated with Xun'er through the Golden Little Tree.

Xun'er was slightly surprised and subtly glanced toward the Hun Clan's direction. "Indeed, he seems different from when I saw him at the coming-of-age ceremony a few days ago," Xun'er said thoughtfully. This subtle change was like a dim star in the night sky; without Xiao Ze's hint, she might have dismissed it as her imagination.

"Could the Hun Clan be planning something inside the Heaven Tomb, perhaps giving Hun Ya some kind of technique from their higher-ups?"

"It's possible, but since this is inside the Heaven Tomb, if they use any extreme measures, our clan elders won't just stand by and watch."

"Regardless, Hun Ya's odd behavior is worth keeping an eye on."

The two communicated through the Golden Little Tree, both becoming more cautious of Hun Ya.

The arrival of Xiao Ze and his group also drew the attention of those present. The Gu Clan members, especially, were very interested in Xiao Ze after his impressive display during the coming-of-age ceremony. Besides Xun'er, he was the most memorable figure, having defeated Gu Yao, one of the top young talents of the Gu Clan, with ease.

The young generation from the Gu Clan entering the Heaven Tomb was led by Gu Qingyang. Seeing Xiao Ze's gaze, Gu Qingyang smiled warmly at him, and Xiao Ze returned the friendly gesture. Other ancient clan members looked at Xiao Ze with a mix of indifference, curiosity, and mild goodwill.

As the crowd mulled over their thoughts, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently. An ancient and primal aura emerged from the void. Under this overwhelming presence, everyone felt a deep-seated reverence in their souls.

"The Heaven Tomb is opening..." Xun'er remarked to Xiao Ze as the sky darkened.

Boom!

As soon as Xun'er finished speaking, a deafening sound echoed across the heavens and the earth. A massive spatial rift, spanning thousands of feet, gradually spread across the sky. At the center of the rift, a silver glow appeared, eventually forming a hundred-foot-tall portal emitting a blinding light. The ancient, primal aura originated from this portal.

"Heaven Tomb Gate!" Everyone marveled at the sight of the giant portal standing majestically in the sky.

As the Heaven Tomb Gate appeared, Elder Gu Lan manifested in mid-air, his aged voice echoing around.

"Everyone, you should know the rules for entering the Heaven Tomb by now: each clan has two slots..."

The crowd nodded slightly in agreement. The rules of the Heaven Tomb were established by the ancient clans long ago and had remained unchanged since.

Of course, the Gu Clan, as the guardians of the Heaven Tomb, enjoyed more benefits and had four slots.

"Brother Xiao Ze, let's enter together. If we enter separately, we'll be randomly teleported," Xun'er said, holding Xiao Ze's hand and smiling sweetly.

"Alright..." Xiao Ze agreed, knowing that Xun'er was more familiar with the specifics of the Heaven Tomb than he was.

As the sky roared with thunderous sounds, the portal slowly opened, releasing dazzling light that illuminated the area.

Elder Gu Lan's expression grew serious as he spoke. "If your clans have decided on your slots, you may enter now. You can stay inside the Heaven Tomb for three years. After three years, the tomb will automatically expel everyone..."

With that, a few figures shot towards the Heaven Tomb Gate, led by Gu Qingyang. The crowd watched the four Gu Clan members disappear into the portal and soon followed suit, rushing towards the gate.

Elder Gu Lan narrowed his eyes as he watched the Hun Clan members enter, feeling that something was off with Hun Ya. However, knowing that the Gu Clan members inside the tomb could call for help in an emergency, he relaxed. If the Hun Clan tried anything extreme, the Gu Clan's Dou Sheng elders would not sit idly by.

Xiao Ze then looked at Little Doctor Immortal and Qing Lin. "You two should stay in the Gu Realm to cultivate during this time. If you need any help, you can seek Elder Gu Lan."

"Don't worry. We may not be as strong as you, but we're not weaklings either."

"Be careful while exploring the Heaven Tomb, Xiao Ze," Little Doctor Immortal and Qing Lin said.

After saying their goodbyes, Xiao Ze took Xun'er's hand and flew towards the Heaven Tomb Gate. As the last figure disappeared into the light of the gate, it shuddered and slowly faded until it vanished completely.

In a misty, silent land, occasionally lit by flashes of fire, an eerie quiet covered the landscape like a deathly shroud. Suddenly, a faint tearing sound broke the silence, forming a spatial passage from which two figures emerged, hand in hand.

Almost instantly, Xiao Ze's powerful soul sense scanned the area within a hundred miles. The Heaven Tomb was vast, and even though he sensed a wide area, he found no trace of the other ancient clans.

"There are no significant anomalies nearby, just some aimless energy bodies," Xiao Ze explained to Xun'er, then opened his hand, gathering the dense ambient energy.

"The energy here is even richer than in the Gu Realm," Xiao Ze noted, capturing a wisp of the dense fog in his hand. This fog contained extremely pure, dense energy, ready for direct absorption without much refinement.

"No wonder the ancient clans use this place for their young members' training. It's a rare cultivation paradise."

"Even just training here for three years would result in significant improvements."

Such training resources were unheard of in the outside world, highlighting the advantages the ancient clans had over other cultivators.

"Brother Xiao Ze, should we head directly to the third level?"

"Of course. Given our current strength, the energy nuclei from the first two levels aren't very useful to us."

As he spoke, Xiao Ze casually reached forward, causing a series of popping sounds as he collected several glowing energy nuclei in his hand. With a slight squeeze, he absorbed the dense energy, reducing the nuclei to powder.

"The energy nuclei on the first level offer little benefit to us."

"Let's go."
