"Son-in-law, Young Lady, good morning!"

When the two arrived at the dining hall, a maid saw them and immediately spoke.

"Good morning. Prepare some breakfast for us."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng spoke.

"Very well. Please wait a moment."

After hearing Seeing Xiao Yifeng's words, the maid immediately went to prepare breakfast.

Breakfast was ready very quickly.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng and the other person ate breakfast while discussing matters regarding the Emperor's Tomb.

"I think we should prepare some magical artifacts and talismans. I have heard there are many prohibitions and traps within the Emperor's Tomb." Bai Susu spoke.

"Mm, you are right. We also need to prepare some pills and talismans for emergencies." Seeing Xiao Yifeng agreed.

"Let us also prepare some spirit stones and gold coins. I have heard prices within the Emperor's Tomb are very high." Bai Susu added.

"Very well, then we shall prepare some. Besides these, is there anything else needed?" Seeing Xiao Yifeng asked.

"Let us prepare some more talismans and pills for emergencies." Bai Susu said.

"Very well, then we shall go and prepare some." Seeing Xiao Yifeng nodded and said.

After the two finished breakfast, they left the dining hall. They first went to the Treasure Pavilion to select some magical artifacts and talismans. They also prepared some pills and talismans for emergencies. Finally, the two went to prepare some spirit stones and gold coins.

After three days passed, the old man led a group of people away from Wan Ancient City and headed toward the Emperor's Tomb.

The Emperor's Tomb is located at the southeast corner of the Desolate Great Emperor, very far from Wan Ancient City. Although Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu were both Heaven-grade experts, they still flew for several hours before reaching the Emperor's Tomb.

The Emperor's Tomb is an ancient graveyard with many prohibitions and traps left behind by Great Emperor experts.

After the old man led the crowd to the Emperor's Tomb, he began arranging for everyone to enter the graveyard.

"You must be extremely careful. Do not trigger the prohibitions, or it will cause death." The old man said seriously.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat excited in their hearts.

They had made complete preparations, hoping to obtain the inheritance of Emperor Jiuxiao.

"Let us go. Let us enter." Seeing Xiao Yifeng looked at Bai Susu and said.

"Good." Bai Susu nodded, then followed Seeing Xiao Yifeng into the Emperor's Tomb.

After they entered the Emperor's Tomb, they discovered the passages inside were very narrow, allowing only two or three people to walk side by side.

"Be careful. Do not move the mechanisms here randomly." After the old man opened a door ahead, he turned back and looked at Seeing Xiao Yifeng and the other person, saying.

"Very well." Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu said in unison.

After they entered the door, they arrived in a vast underground palace.

This is a great hall. In the center of the great hall is a high platform. On both sides of the high platform are two stone doors.

"You two, and you several others, go into those two stone doors and see what is inside."

The old man pointed at Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu, along with several other people, and said.

"Very well."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu, along with the other several people, arrived before the stone doors.

After they entered the stone doors, they discovered the space here was extremely vast. There were several stone chambers here. Inside the stone chambers were many coffins, and beside the coffins were many funeral offerings.

"These should be subordinates of Emperor Jiuxiao." Bai Susu looked at those coffins and said.

"Mm, there should be more than one stone door here. Let us look ahead." Seeing Xiao Yifeng looked forward and said.

They continued walking inward and discovered there were eight stone doors in total. Inside each stone door were several stone chambers, and inside the stone chambers were many coffins and funeral offerings.

"This should be the tomb of Emperor Jiuxiao." Seeing Xiao Yifeng looked around and said.

"Then let us hurry and search to see if there is the inheritance of Emperor Jiuxiao." Bai Susu said somewhat excitedly.

They began searching everywhere. The mechanisms here had already been triggered, so they searched very carefully.

They searched for quite a while and finally found a stone chamber hidden by a mechanism.

After they walked inside, they discovered there was a statue of Emperor Jiuxiao here. In front of the statue was a jade box. Inside the jade box was a letter and a jade seal.

"Excellent! We have finally found the inheritance of Emperor Jiuxiao!" Bai Susu said excitedly.

"Mm, let us hurry and take these things back." Seeing Xiao Yifeng also said very happily. He originally thought obtaining the inheritance would be difficult, but he did not expect to obtain it so smoothly.

After exiting the stone door, the old man saw the letter and jade seal in the two's hands and was overjoyed: "You really obtained the inheritance of Emperor Jiuxiao! Excellent!"

"Laozu Sect, what are this letter and jade seal?" Bai Susu looked at the old man and asked.

"This letter is the last words Emperor Jiuxiao left for his descendants. He detailed his martial arts insights and the method to comprehend the Jiuxiao Profound Meaning. This jade seal is the token of Emperor Jiuxiao's inheritance. Only the person holding this jade seal can truly obtain his inheritance." The old man said excitedly.

"I see. Then let us hurry back to Wan Ancient City." Seeing Xiao Yifeng said.

"Good. We shall return immediately." The old man nodded and said.

After the crowd returned to Wan Ancient City, the old man immediately enshrined the letter and jade seal and summoned all the elders to come and view them.

When all the elders saw the letter and jade seal, they were also extremely excited and expressed their desire to search for more relics of Emperor Jiuxiao.

"Very well. Now that we have the inheritance of Emperor Jiuxiao, we can truly begin cultivating the Jiuxiao Profound Meaning." The old man looked at the crowd and said.

"Cultivating the Jiuxiao Profound Meaning? Laozu Sect, did you not say only the person holding the jade seal can obtain the true inheritance?" Bai Susu asked somewhat confusedly.

"Yes, but holding the jade seal is only the first step. To truly obtain the inheritance, one must also pass a trial." The old man said with a smile.

"A trial? What trial?" Seeing Xiao Yifeng asked.

"This trial is that you must stay in this graveyard for three days and three nights. During this time, you cannot leave, cannot eat, and can only rely on your own will and the inheritance of Emperor Jiuxiao to persist." The old man looked at the two and said indifferently.

"Three days and three nights? Such a long time?" Bai Susu asked somewhat surprisedly.

"Yes. This is a trial of your willpower. During this time, you need to solve the puzzles within the graveyard and find the opportunities left by Emperor Jiuxiao." The old man looked at the two and said.

"Very well. Then let us hurry and prepare." Seeing Xiao Yifeng looked at the old man and said.

"Good."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned and left the great hall.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu immediately returned to their own rooms and began to prepare.

They prepared some magical tools and talismans, as well as some pills and talismans. In addition, they also prepared some spirit stones and gold coins.

The next morning, Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu arrived at the entrance of the cemetery.

"You must be careful," the old man said, looking at the two of them.

"Yes, thank you, Laozu Sect," Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu said in unison.

Then, the two entered the cemetery.

This was a very spacious great hall; in the center of the hall stood a high platform, and on top of the high platform was a stone door.

"Let's go check that stone door first."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng pointed at the stone door and said.

The two walked to the front of the stone door and found many talismans and traps there.

"These traps must be the trials left behind by Emperor Jiuxiao; we must be careful," Bai Susu said, looking at the traps.

The two very carefully deciphered these traps and talismans, but they did not expect the traps and talismans here to be extremely strange and clever; it took them quite some time to decipher these traps and talismans.

"This stone door must be the passage leading to go down one layer," Seeing Xiao Yifeng said, looking at the stone door.

After they opened the stone door, they arrived at a mysterious underground chamber. There were quite a few coffins and burial goods here, as well as some ancient books and scrolls.

"These must be things left behind by Emperor Jiuxiao's subordinates," Bai Susu said, looking at those coffins and burial goods.

"Let's look at these books and scrolls," Seeing Xiao Yifeng said.

They spent quite some time carefully reading these books and scrolls and finally discovered some methods for comprehending the profound meanings of Emperor Jiuxiao and some Xindeti Society.

"Great, we have finally made some gains," Bai Susu said, looking at the book in her hand.

"Mm, let's continue searching," Seeing Xiao Yifeng said, also somewhat excited.

They continued searching in the cemetery, deciphering trap after trap and puzzle after puzzle, constantly delving deeper into the cemetery.

During these three days and three nights, they experienced countless dangers and hardships, but they always firmly believed in their own strength and will, constantly deciphering problems and constantly moving forward.

Finally, just as the three days and three nights were about to end, they arrived at a huge Li Shishi.

This Li Shishi was very vast; in the center stood a high platform, and on it was a statue of Emperor Jiuxiao. In front of the statue, a beam of light flashed, and then a voice sounded.

"Very good, you have successfully completed the trials; now you can truly receive my inheritance."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu looked around very excitedly, saying nothing.

Then, the statue of Emperor Jiuxiao suddenly vanished, and a space appeared before them. In this space, there were countless treasures and magical tools.
