804. Officially Entering
A dazzling lightning flashed in Lei Dong's originally calm eyes, and anyone who met his gaze would feel an inexplicable tremor in their heart.
Xiao Yan's pupils contracted slightly, and alarm bells rang in his mind. Xiao Yan sensed it; although Lei Dong hadn't made a move, his aura and the faint but palpable pressure he exuded indicated one fact: he was different from many of the experts present. He wasn't a half-saint, but a genuine Dou Sheng!
"A...Battle Saint?"
"hiss--"
"He's actually a Dou Sheng level expert?"
"That speed truly makes him the number one in the Thunder Clan!"
Lei Dong wasn't originally there as a prodigy of the Lei Clan, but rather as the leader of the Lei Clan's team. Lei Jingxiao's actions also brought along powerful figures of this caliber into the Heavenly Tomb, adding many variables to this trip.
Lei Dong's appearance caused a change in the expressions of the descendants of the major Dou Di families. Upon learning that Lei Dong would also participate, their expressions turned sour. Even Hun Yu, the leader of the Soul Clan, lost his usual playful smile.
However, none of them could say much. After all, who gets the spots is an internal matter for the Thunder Clan, and they can let whoever they want in.
After seeing that the matter with the Lei Clan had been resolved, Gu Zechuan surveyed the entire scene. The commotion that had occurred before the start of the Heavenly Tomb was far too great. Normally, even a single one-star elder might not have been able to control the situation.
He suppressed his agitation, took a deep breath, and his gaze, imbued with the pressure of a Dou Sheng, swept across the entire arena as if it had become tangible. He asked in a deep voice, "Among the eight clans, are there any whose spots are still undecided?"
Silence fell over the room; no one answered. The spots were decided, the die was cast. Whether it was voluntary or a forced compromise, there was no going back.
Then Gu Zechuan also made his move, unleashing his vast, ocean-like battle qi without reservation. The powerful battle qi belonging to a Dou Sheng instantly darkened the sky in the ancient realm.
This ability to instantly alter celestial phenomena demonstrates Gu Zechuan's formidable strength, befitting a genuine four-star Dou Sheng. His previous setback against Xiao Yan was primarily due to his self-respect and reluctance to use his full power against a junior, and also because Jiang Yunyan's presence was a deterrent.
Even with his full power, Gu Zechuan displayed the formidable strength of a Dou Sheng, a level far exceeding that of a Dou Zun. This was precisely what the young people present craved; only a Dou Sheng could be considered the core fighting force of a Dou Di descendant family!
This year's Heavenly Tomb team is far stronger than ever before, but most of them are still only at the half-saint level.
Time flows much slower inside the Heavenly Tomb than outside. One day outside is equivalent to five days inside the Heavenly Tomb. These three years are one of the last chances for these geniuses to break through the half-saint boundary and advance to the Dou Sheng realm by taking advantage of the opportunities within the Heavenly Tomb.
Seeing the changing colors of the sky, Xiao Yan still said to Xun'er, "Xun'er, stay close to me!"
Xun'er's initially uneasy heart calmed down considerably upon hearing this familiar yet protective admonition.
Then, a beautiful smile bloomed on Xun'er's stunning face: "Okay, Brother Xiao Yan."
The young people of the ancient clan were filled with envy upon seeing the goddess Xun'er in such a state. She was a goddess they could not tarnish, yet she only revealed her most genuine and approachable side to Xiao Yan, a guy from another race.
Then Huo Zhi and Lei Jingxiao also stood on this side, after all, they were all people who could be trusted, and they would need to work together in the Heavenly Tomb.
Xiao Yan finally said to Wei Jiangyuan, "Old Wei, you don't need to wait for me anymore. Go back in peace."
Lei Jingxiao raised an eyebrow at Wei Jiangyuan: "Old Wei, when I get out, I'll definitely protect you. If anyone bullies you, just mention my name!"
"After you report it, others will retaliate even more severely, right?"
After a lighthearted joke, Wei Jiangyuan, unusually serious, said, "Be careful in there and come back safely!"
Wei Jiangyuan's gaze finally settled on Xiao Yan, since the ancient clan was targeting Xiao Yan. He then secretly slipped two pills into the hands of Xiao Yan and Lei Jingxiao. Xiao Yan opened one and saw it was a high-quality eighth-grade pill, likely the pinnacle of Wei Jiangyuan's alchemy skills.
However, none of the three said much in the face of this situation; their feelings remained unspoken.
After giving his instructions, Xiao Yan looked around and saw that everyone who had participated in the Heavenly Tomb event had stepped forward. The two members of the Xiao Clan who participated were him and Xun'er.
The Thunder Clan consists of Lei Dong and Lei Jingxiao.
The ancient tribes were Gu Qingyang and Gu Huali, whom he had never met before.
The Yan Clan consists of Huo Zhi and the imposter Huo Xuan.
The Spirit Clan consisted of Spirit Wind Chaser and a face he had never seen before.
As for the other companies, he had no dealings with them at all.
This is bound to be a fierce battle!
His ancestor Xiao Xuan's tomb is located in the Heavenly Tomb. This time, in addition to improving his own strength and settling his grudges with the ancient clans in the Heavenly Tomb, he also needs to personally visit the tomb of his ancestor Xiao Xuan.
There are some matters concerning the Xiao clan that neither the Fire Cloud Ancestor nor the Shennong Elder know the general outline of. If you want to know everything about the Xiao clan back then, you can only ask the only ancestor that Xiao Yan can see now.
After a short while, the void suddenly erupted with a deafening roar. Immediately afterward, a spatial rift a thousand feet long spread out from the sky. At the center of the spatial rift, a ball of silver light gradually emerged, eventually transforming into a spatial gate a hundred feet long. The vast and ancient aura emanated from this gate.
"So this is the Gate to the Heavenly Tomb..."
Gazing at the ancient gate towering between heaven and earth, Xiao Yan murmured to himself.
Then Gu Zechuan announced loudly, "The Gate of the Heavenly Tomb has opened. You will have three years to cultivate within it. I believe your elders have already explained the precautions to you, so I won't go into details. Time is precious, so enter quickly!"
Gu Zechuan then glanced at Xiao Yan again, clearly referring to Xiao Yan as the elder he had just mentioned. However, Xiao Yan didn't take this targeting to heart at all.
As Gu Zechuan finished speaking, the sixteen figures who had been prepared almost simultaneously transformed into streaks of light and flew swiftly into the giant gate that was suspended in the center of the spatial rift.
Those who witnessed all of this were filled with emotion; this was arguably the most powerful lineup for the Heavenly Tomb Gathering in the past millennium. Moreover, the atmosphere between them was so tense it could explode at any moment; only those who entered knew what would happen next.
