Chapter 259: Don’t Show Off in Front of Me (4000)The next day, warm sunshine fell on the mountains and forests, and on the guest room courtyard where Xiao Yun and his companions were staying.
"Xiao Yun, are we going to the Tianfu you mentioned later?" Although Zi Yan's body had grown, her mentality had not changed immediately and she was still yelling.
"It's the Heavenly Tomb!" Xiao Yun was a little helpless. This little brat didn't know anything.
He had told the story several times throughout the night, but the other party still called the wrong name. This made him wonder if the little dragon had had the experience of having his forehead pinched before.
"Haha! Brother Xiao Yun, good morning!"
Just as Xiao Yun and his group were waiting in the courtyard, suddenly, a hearty laugh was heard, and then Gu Qingyang came riding on a snow-white unicorn.
"Let's not talk about whether it's early or not... Hey, you actually broke through?" Xiao Yun was about to say something when he discovered that Gu Qingyang's cultivation had actually broken through to the Nine-Star Dou Zun!
"That's right." Gu Qingyang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "My cultivation has already reached the peak of eight-star Dou Zun, and the breakthrough is just a matter of time.
The last time I fought with you, I benefited a lot. It just happened to make me reach a bottleneck. After returning, I took some treasures and broke through directly..."
"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being the first genius of the ancient clan. You are the protagonist, right? How come I have never encountered such a good thing as a breakthrough after the war." Xiao Yun muttered in a low voice.
"Brother Xiao Yun, what are you talking about?" Gu Qingyang asked puzzledly.
"Nothing... ahem, well, today is the day when the Heavenly Tomb is opened! Let's go quickly and don't let Patriarch Gu wait anxiously."
In response to Gu Qingyang's curiosity, Xiao Yun quickly pretended to cough and changed the subject.
"Okay..." Fortunately, the other party didn't think too much about it. With a wave of his hand, the unicorn hidden in the mountains and forests flew out and landed in front of everyone.
Xiao Yun and his group got on the ride with ease, and under the leadership of Gu Qingyang, the team flew towards the east of the mountains.
"The opening location of the Heavenly Tomb is deep in the Ancient Saint Mountains. It is considered a forbidden area for the ancient clan. Normally, no one is allowed to enter. It is only open when the Heavenly Tomb is opened."
In front of everyone, Gu Qingyang sat on the back of a unicorn and turned around to explain to everyone.
"The Tomb of Heaven, as its name suggests, is the cemetery of ancient strongmen. And due to the powerful ability of its creator, the strongmen who fell in it, although their souls have dissipated, their energy during their lifetime can still be preserved..."
Gu Qingyang spoke excitedly, however, the others were not very interested.
Zi Yan even yawned when she heard it. Xiao Yun had already told them about the Heavenly Tomb several times last night. Naturally, she had no interest in listening to it again.
In this regard, Gu Qingyang didn't know whether he didn't see it or pretended not to know, and continued to tell the story passionately.
As he spoke, the unicorns gradually went deeper into the mountains.
It was extremely quiet along the way, and not even a single person was seen. However, Xiao Yun could sense that the hidden auras around him were as dense as ants, and some of them even startled him.
"This ancient clan takes this place too seriously, doesn't it?"
After flying like this for another seven or eight minutes, Gu Qingyang blew a whistle, and the unicorns finally stopped at a steep mountain range.
"Brother Xiao Yun, distinguished guests, we are here!" Gu Qingyang was the first to dismount, greeted several people, and then walked towards the mountain ahead.
This mountain is not very high, but its surface is shrouded in an ancient atmosphere.
In the huge open space in front of the mountain, there were fully armed Black Annihilation Army soldiers standing there, and what they were guarding was an extremely small space crack.
Among them, a silver-white energy would surge out from time to time. The spatial energy was so strong that even a Dou Zun would die on the spot if he was hit.
"Is this the space crack that Elder Gu Yuan spent seven days tinkering with?" Xiao Yun followed Gu Qingyang slowly, looking at the unusual space crack, secretly shocked.
Dou Di, a strong man at this level, is truly like a god in the Douqi Continent.
The Sky Tomb, which was abandoned at some unknown time, can actually provide a resting place for ancient powerful men. Even a peak Douluo like Xiao Xuan will not affect the operation of the Sky Tomb.
Later, the existence of a Sky Tomb Soul was brewing. In the original time and space, the strength of its soul directly allowed Xiao Yan, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, to break through to the Emperor Realm Soul!
Gu Qingyang walked slowly. This was his first time in the Heavenly Tomb, so he was naturally very curious about everything around him.
"Ding!"
Just as Xiao Yun and his group were about to walk into the open space, a long sword suddenly fell vertically from the sky and stabbed into the ground less than ten feet away from Xiao Yun.
"Hmm?" Looking at the long sword, Xiao Yun frowned slightly. This long sword was just an extremely ordinary long sword, and there was no fighting spirit on it.
Such a long sword would not pose any danger to him. Even if it really fell on his head, with his strong body, the long sword would shatter into pieces in an instant.
and so……
"Which arrogant elder of the ancient clan is this who dislikes me?" Xiao Yun looked around. Medusa and the others behind him were activating their fighting spirit in their hands.
Gu Qingyang also heard the noise and looked back. When he saw the long sword on the ground, his face instantly became extremely gloomy and he said in a deep voice: "Who did it!"
"Young Patriarch, please don't get angry. I just slipped and accidentally dropped the sword in front of them."
An old voice sounded, and everyone turned their eyes to see a white-haired old man standing on a slender branch in the distance with his hands behind his back.
The branch was less than ten centimeters thick, but the old man was able to stand steadily on it, showing the demeanor of a master.
At this moment, this arrogant old man flashed and appeared directly in front of Gu Qingyang.
"Elder Gushan!" Gu Qingyang's eyes were extremely cold as he spoke word by word.
What about the sword falling down due to slipping of the hand? That's just nonsense to trick children!
The opponent was a semi-saint! How could he not hold the sword steadily? He even dropped it accurately in front of Xiao Yun!
This was clearly a provocation! He needed an explanation from the other party.
"Young Patriarch, why do you have to look at me like that?" However, Elder Gushan did not appreciate it and played dumb.
"Elder Gushan! Apologize to Brother Xiao Yun and the three distinguished guests!"
"Apologize? Why should I apologize? I just slipped and dropped the sword. I'm sure you won't mind this little thing, Xiao Yun?" Elder Gushan said to himself, then turned to look at Xiao Yun and said with a smile, "On the contrary, Xiao Yun, I don't know what means he used to deceive the clan leader.
Not only did he enter the Heavenly Tomb ahead of time, but he also took away two places from my tribe! How should we account for bringing outsiders into the Heavenly Tomb?"
So that's how it is. After hearing the other party's words, all the doubts in Xiao Yun's heart were resolved at once.
"What nonsense! The Xiao clan is also one of the eight clans and has always had two quotas. As for the other one, it was obtained by Brother Xiao Yun in exchange for the ancient jade!"
There was anger in Gu Qingyang's eyes. These pedantic elders were still immersed in the glorious scene of the ancient clan and still looked at the Xiao clan and Xiao Yun with the same eyes as before.
I didn't even open my eyes to see if Xiao Yun came alone!
"Young Patriarch! What are you talking about! You are a member of my Ancient Clan! You are the Young Patriarch! Whatever you do or say, you should consider the interests of the Ancient Clan!"
After being rebuked by Gu Qingyang, Gu Shan could no longer maintain the smile on his face and said with a gloomy expression.
"Humph! There is no need for Elder Gushan to teach me how to be a young clan leader! It is precisely because I am a member of the ancient clan that I have to say these words!
We have been occupying the Xiao clan's quota before, but that doesn't mean it belongs to us!
Now that the Xiao clan has returned, they have fulfilled the promise made a thousand years ago! We, the ancient clan, must return the quota to Brother Xiao Yun!"
Gu Qingyang looked straight at the other party and spoke in a very sharp tone, leaving him speechless for a moment and unable to refute.
After a moment's silence, he realized that he had to pick the weak ones to pick on, so he turned and looked at Xiao Yun.
"The people of the Xiao clan are really amazing! First they deceived the clan leader, and then they deceived our clan leader..."
However, before he could finish, Zhu Ming behind Xiao Yun snorted coldly and raised his hand slightly.
The next moment, the space around Gu Shan shrank violently. He immediately realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, but Elder Zhu Ming was a Dou Sheng, so how could he let him do as he wished?
"Huh! Dou...Saint!" Elder Gushan looked incredulous. He had never imagined that the old man who had been following Xiao Yun and the others, and who seemed to have the cultivation level of a peak Dou Zun, was actually a Dou Saint!
You old thing, how dare you act so pretentiously in front of me!
Xiao Yun's eyes were indifferent, and he said in a cold voice: "Elder Gu Shan, right? I can come here with the permission of Senior Gu Yuan. Don't say that I brought two people, even if I brought ten people, it is none of your business!
Or is it that you, Elder Gushan, are the real patriarch of the Ancient Clan?"
"Huh...huh." At this moment, Gu Shan no longer had the immortal demeanor he had before, but instead looked extremely embarrassed.
The whole person was locked in mid-air, his face was red, and it was not known whether it was caused by anger or suffocation. He could not utter a word and could only make some meaningless whimpering sounds.
"Senior Zhu Ming, please let go! After all, this is my ancient clan!" Seeing that Gu Shan looked like he was about to be crushed to death, Gu Qingyang sighed and said softly.
"Hmph!" Elder Zhuming snorted coldly, then loosened his hand, and Gu Shan fell to the ground half-dead.
"This time, I am teaching you a lesson. How dare you, a mid-level half-saint, attack my Taixu Ancient Dragon? If it weren't for the ancient clan behind you, I would have crushed you to death!"
Then, Xiao Yun and his group ignored them and walked into the open ground. Gu Qingyang behind them sighed softly. He had tried his best to stop it, but it still happened.
What Zhu Ming said just now was very right. If Gu Shan was not an elder of the ancient clan, he would have died several times already if he was so rude in front of a Dou Sheng.
"I'm sorry, Saint Zhuming, Brother Xiao Yun, the elders of the clan..." Gu Qingyang hurried over and apologized in a low voice.
Seeing that Zhu Ming didn't say anything, Xiao Yun shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, this kind of thing happens in every family.
Besides, Elder Gushan has already learned his lesson, so Elder Zhuming won’t take it to heart.”
Gu Qingyang nodded. The elders in the clan just couldn’t see the truth. The Xiao clan was indeed in decline, but the Taixu Ancient Dragon had never been!
"Brother Xiao Yun and several other distinguished guests, please wait here for a while. The energy of the Heavenly Tomb is too strong right now, and it is not a good time to go in.
We can only enter the Heavenly Tomb at noon, when the energy is at its weakest."
Everyone nodded slightly, and then stood quietly in front of the space crack, waiting silently.
Time passed by little by little, and when the sun was high in the sky, Xiao Yun could feel that the energy of the space crack in front of him had been weakened a lot, just as Gu Qingyang said.
At the same time, a figure in a green robe slowly emerged from the void. Looking at his face, it was none other than the patriarch of the Ancient Clan, Gu Yuan!
"Xiao Yun, the Heavenly Tomb opens once every twenty years. Now it is still seven or eight years away from the natural opening."
Gu Yuan stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his back, looking at the space crack in front of him, and said lightly: "Although I can forcibly tear the space apart and let you in, the time you can stay in it can only be one and a half years at most!
Otherwise, you will all be rejected by the Heavenly Tomb, and by then, even I may not be able to rescue you!"
"Junior understands, thank you Patriarch Gu!"
Xiao Yun nodded. The time inside the Heavenly Tomb was one to one with that in the outside world. Staying in it for a year and a half was equivalent to three months in the outside world.
By this calculation, he would have nearly a month to go to the Beast Territory and obtain the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
"Okay, let's get ready! I'm going to tear the space apart!" Gu Yuan said.
After hearing this, Xiao Yun and the other two were absorbed in their thoughts. After checking themselves and the things in the ring, they opened their eyes.
To his surprise, Gu Qingyang also started checking.
"Hmm? Gu Qingyang is going this time too?"
Before he could ask, the energy of heaven and earth around him suddenly roared and moved. It turned out that it was Gu Yuan who made a move. When the Nine-Star Fighting Saint made a move, the energy was like a toy, allowing him to use it at will.
Then, the energy of heaven and earth rushed into the space crack like a torrent.
As more and more energy flowed in, the crack gradually stabilized. At the same time, its size continued to expand, and an extremely ancient and wild smell emanated from it.
"Go in!" Gu Yuan waved his hand, and Xiao Yun and the other two, as well as Gu Qingyang, were out of control and rushed into the crack like lightning.
After seeing the four figures disappear, Gu Yuan stopped controlling the energy. With a light wave of his hand, the space crack disappeared and the area returned to nothingness.
"Elder Zhuming, right? The speed of time in the Heavenly Tomb is different from that in the outside world.
They will stay in there for a maximum of one and a half years, which is three months in the outside world. During this time, you can have a good rest in my ancient tribe!"
"Thank you, Patriarch Gu!"
